The Committees.
AUGUSTA, Jan. 4.-Consderable interest is
manifested among parties in the interest of rail-
roads respecting the committee on tina. import
ant matter. The Senate committee will be con
sidered naturally anti-Maine Central though
doubtless men of such eminent fairness as to do
justice to all sides. From what is to be gath
cred it is not mere prediction to say that
Messrs. Dingley of Androscoggin, Butler of
York, and Smith OF Penobscot, will constitute
the Senate Committee, while the gentlemen IN
the part of the House are in part Messrs. Fes-
sender of Portland, Knowlton of Skowhegan,
Egery of Bangor, Bisbee of Buckteld. This
latter is more of a conjecture.
One embryo statesman of the Liberal persua
sion-who displays the energy of his charact
by conveying his rations from his trencher to
his orifice on three inches of steel knife-it is
rumoreo, asked for place on the udiclary,
the Railroad, Insurance and State Prison Com
mittees. 1t is hoped that he will be gratified
tomorrow. II.
State Bridge Building.
1t is said that the prayer for AN appropriation
to build bridge across the Androscoggin in
Oxford county, which Is recon mended by the
Governor, will be followed by score of other
equally meritorious cases, SO that the State may
soon ) up in the business.
The Members
in town very generally attended church to-day
where they were welcomed to good seats.
