The Legislature Organized.

The organization of both Houses of
the Legislature was finally completed
yesterday by the announcement of the
Standing Committees. In the Senate
the Democrats were decidedly ignored,
as they had a right to expect they
would be, by the person chosen to pre-
side over that body. They have not q
single member upon the Judiciary Com
mittee. In the House, they received
much fairer and more respectful recog-
milton, although the Speaker, by a
skillful arrangement, has given to the
liberals the same balance of power upon
several important Committees which
they hold in the House. In the matter
of chairmsnships, as was expected, the
regular Republicans have a large
majority. In assigning to his lib
eral colleagues the positions he has,
Mr.. WEIGH has placed in their hands
a formidable power over the legislation
U08G Ulubb COmo uoIUic tuo lAoueo' Aulo
he had a perfect right to do, and there is
no complaint to be made. He has taken
steps to have the liberal policy to which
be pledged himself in the canvass effect
ually sarried out. In other words, he
has availed himself of his advantages,
as is the invariable custom in such
cases. The Democrats have majority
on bat one important Commit
tee, and in making this award,
the Speaker was, we infer, con-
trolled more by considerations of
fitness than by desire TO give partisan
recognition to those who constituted
the bulk of his supporters. In general
it may be said that the Com
mittees have been selected with
some reference to liberality to
all, especially to those who so vigor.
ously opposed Mr.. WEIGHS election.
Ia the hour of his triumph he has fairly
shown that spirit of magnanimity which
he was chosen to represent.

the Radicals cannot have things their
own way in this good Democratic city
of Wheeling. Hence 1t is that the
Democratic ticket cannot be as
signed the position on the Gas
Question which the Tntelligencer
would assign it. The gentlemen
on that ticket are just as sound on that
question as any set of candidates ever
offered, on any question relating to the
city government. 1t is not difficult to
understand the game of the Intelligencer.
While protesting to want one monopoly
broken down, 1t is squirting at the es-
tablishment Of another. Suppose, If
such a thing were possible, that the
Democratic candidate could be beaten.
how does that one of his opponents
whom the Inteligeacer would like to
elect, stand on the Gas Question 7 Is
he, or is he not, connected with Gas
Company that would like to have the
monopoly at present enjoyed by another
company According to our cotempor-
ary, if the city should not be able to
manage the Gas Works successfully
several courses will be OPEN" One of
which, we suppose, would be the as
sigument of the management of the city
Gas to the Intelligencer's candidate for
Mayor, whose connection with the Gas
business amply fits him for the protec-
tion of the people against Gas monopo
lies. We prefer the election of candi-
date who is not identified with the Gas
producing interests. That strikes Us as
a much more powerful step in the direc-
tion of reform than the programme
which the Intelligencer so awkwardly
suggests.
According to our contemporary, the
Democratic candidates are "a set of Phil.
istines." We happen to remember that
three of these same candidates received
the support Of the Intelligencer a year
ago. Whether the others will compare
favorably with any candidates ever sup
ported for like position by that paper,
we are perfectly willing that the public
shall judge. Pending the final decis-
ion, it will be sufficient to say that the
InteHigenoer cannot consistently black
guard, among others, the men whose
election it so strenuously advocated
twelve months ago.

Baby-talk.

Poor babies have hard time of il
trying to live in France. When the
parents are not rich, in many instances
they are sent to the country TO be reared
by some peasant family for cOnsidera-
tion, and but few of them live more
than year, what with the neglect and
cruelty practiced upon them, Babies
are regarded as luxurles which only the
rich can afford. They are so much in
the way of their mothers, who act as
clerks, saieswomen or book-keepers te
their husbands, that they cannot receive
that care they should, aud therefore are
packed off TO the country to be brought
up by hand, like Pip" was. Recent
Investigations into the matter of baby
farming reveal an extraordinary state
of affairs. The number of deaths IN COM
parisou to the number of births is
frightfully large. Thousands of infants
are sent from Paris to the country, and
but few ever return. The claims upon
the French woman of the lower class
are such that she cannot spare the time
the children would require, and hence
they are farmed out.

The "Chnmpiou" Compositor ChnI-
lenRed.


From the New York Sun, Jan. l5.l
The artists of the "art preservative of
all artsD are in flutter over the pros
poets of match between New York
and Cincinnati compositors. For some
years Mr. George A. Barber, of Cincin-
natl, has had standing challenge to
set type with any fellow craftsman for
$1,000 "to work five or eight hours day
on solid, straight matter, the type NOT
to be larger than BREWER nor smaller
than agate" Yesterday Mr.. George
Arensberg, employed in the Times office,
called at the Clipper office with q few
friends, and left counter challenge, at
the same time depositing 500 as an
earnest of his intentions. Mr. Arens-
berg, who is known among his friends
as "The Velocipede,' accepts BARRIERS
challenge, the only change in the terms
being that he wants to work ten hours
only. He offers Barber 500 to come to
New York, or he will take the same sum
and 60 to Cincinnati. Barber is said to
have set II 800 solid minion in ten
hours. This is rapid work. The friends
of Arensberg do not say what he has
accomplished heretofore, but are will
ing to back him with their money. The
trial of skill is to be made within a
month, providing the Western man pnts
up. If he backs down, Arensberg will
make match with any other man on
the same terms.

declines the nomination for the
First Branch of Council from the
Fourth Ward, and will net serve if
elected. His formal declination, it
seems, was sent to the REGISTER on
Monday, but as, for some reason, it
failed to reach the editor, We are unable
to publish it, and therefore make the

Explanatory and Apologize.

We owe our readers an apology and
an explanation. The announcement OF
Mr.. ELIJAH DAY, for City Treasurer, ap-
peared in our advertising columns yes
terday morning signed editors REG
IsTER." To be sure, the advertisement
only stated our authority to announce
him, but some persons may have
construed it as an endorsement
of his candidacy. The announce
meut was inserted in that shape
without the knowledge of either
of the editors Of this paper, and we
most emphstieally repudiate any inten-
tion of asking for him the vote of any
body, apd especially of any Democrat
If there is any candidate in the field
whose election we desire less than that
of anybody else, that candidate is Mr..
ELIJAH DAY.
For several years the Democracy have
been voting Mr.. DAY into the position
which he now holds. As often as his
election has been announced, the Dem
ocrats have been rewarded by his CRATE
full friends with the taunt that they
were afraid to trust their own men with
the public money and were forced to 60
into the Republican party to find an
honest man for Treasurer. We don't
know how other Democrats regard this
slur, but for our part We think it has
been repeated several times too often.
We share none Of the responsibility for
his past elections, and we call up this
reminiscence in order that those Demo
Gratis who have heretofore supported
him, seeing the reception their liberali-
ty has met, may govern themselves
accordingly.
In speaking of the inyrstitude of his
friends, we by no means wish to imply
that the candidate himself has been one
whit less ungrateful than they. Twelve
months ago, by refusing to pay his
share Of the cost of announcing the
ticket on which he ran, he compelled
his Democratic colleagues upon the
ticket to become responsible for his de-
fciency. We have no reason to believe
that this sort of contemptuous treat
ment has not been usual on his part,
or that he does not now feel IS bitterly
hostile to his Democratic supporters
as he did some years ago, when
it was popular to hate, issult
and persecute people of the so-called
Copperhead persuasion. The Democrats
yre at psrfest liberty to rc-elect him il
they choose, but they will not do SO
without being reminded. how their kind.
ness has generally been received.
