The House Committees.

The announcement of the commit
fees of the House of Representatives on
Friday, gave rise to the usual amount
of grumbling, some members having
a higher opinion of their merits than
seans TO be entertained in other quar-
ters. New England has seven impor-
tant chairmanships, including the Ju-
dietary. The Middle States have ten
chairmanships, the most important oil
which is Elections. The West has
nineteen, in which are Appropriations,
Pacific Railroads, Indian and Foreign
Affairs. The South has eight, inclu-
ding Banking and Currency. The
Ways and Means Committee contains
five of its old members-Dawes, Kei-
lev. Burchard, Roberts and Beck. On
the Committee ON Appropriations are
the old members-Garfield, Hale, OF
Maine: Marshall snd Swan. OF the
new members, Wheeler is the strong
est. Maynard's appointment as chair
man of Banking and Currency, occa-

The New York SiGdts Zeiti:ng does
not like the selection of Wood, as the
Democratic standard bearer. 1t is
Democratic, but that is a little too
much. 1t says:
The election of Wood as their leader
is disgracefrl, not only because he is q
formal defender of the ''grab," but is
above all a man who represents every.
thing with which Democracy should
not be identified. We do not say too
much when we affirm that he inaugu-
rated the system OF corruption in this
city, which Tweed brought to perfec'
ton. It requires good share ofblind.
ness to select Wood ct the very moment
when Tweed was sent to the Peniten.
tiary. The Democratic Congressional
caucus have fully proved to the people
of the United States, that i'm electing q
Republican Congress, they (the people)
chose the lesser Of the two evils. The
Democratic minority, led by Wood, is
destined to contempt at Washington,
because it is despised and mfstrusted
everywhere.

Taken as O whole, the message is

citizen to turn to it for information
[Phila. Press.
Taken as a whole the present Is per-
haps, the ablest message yet delivered
by President Grant. There is no effort
at rhetoric, but the document is terse
and compact, and expresses clearly and
iptelligently the thoughts and opinions
sought to be conveyed. 1t will well
repay careful perusal.-[ Chicago Inter-

The Presidents message, like all his
published declarations, confirms the
impression of his desire to do what he
considers best for the general good and
leaves unaffected the impression that in |

Probable Surrender of the Vessel.

WASHINGTON, Dec. THE protocol
signed by Admiral Polo and Secretary
Fish on the 18th of November was
with the full appreciation Of the Span
ish Government, after mature cOnsid-
Grafton of all its consequences, and
since that time it has expressed no in
clination whatever for change OF Its
terms. The excitement in the Island
of Cuba and the alleged threats con-
cerning the Virginius gave a reasona-
BILE foundation for fear on the part OF
many persons that the vessel and sur
viving passengers and crew would not
be promptly delivered to the United
States authorities according to the
terms of agreement, but such appre.
tensions have not been shared by the
Executive branch Of our Government,
tor it can be positively stated tina,
there is nothing TO diminish its conf.
dence in the sincerity of purpose OF the
spanish government, or its ability tt
execute its engagements. The delay
of the transactions has been unavOida
BILE, and only recently an arrangement
for the consummstiOn of the terms hai
been completed. Whatever may hav'
4 been suggested heretofore as to tn
programme, it can now be assertet
that the Virginius will be delivered t.
one of our naval vessels within tn
next ten days, at Cuban port, in opel
day, and that the surviving passenger
and crew will be transferred to Unite'
Estates ship at Santiago de Cuba in al
: equally open manner. The vessels t

running order; it has already informed |
US that the President has declared
war against Spain, and that O0,OO0l

Prof. McAllister recently surprised
the citizens of Wheeling by his sharp
tricks; a Jew on Main street, near
Union, recently demonstrated to one
of our citizens that he too could play
sharp tricks; the citizen visited his

came home he had 40 yards, with diff

- LiTTEBL's LIVING AGE FOR lS74.-I
The fact is becoming more generally
recognized every year that Littelrs
Living Age affords the hest and, all
things considered, the cheapest means
of keeping well Informed in the most
valuable current literature; q literature,
that embraces the productions Of the
best writers in scie1ce, fiction, poetry,
history, biography, politics, theology,
philosophy, criticism, and art.
A list of some of the distinguished
authors represented i'm its pages will be
found: by reference to the prospectus of
the magazine published elsewhere in
our columns, and an unequaled array
of names it is. The new series, which
was begun Jan. 1, 1873, already embraces
serial and short stories by eminent
French, German, Russian, and English
novelists; and during the ensuing year,
tion by the leading foreign authors, the
usual unequaled amount will be given
of the ablest essays and reviews, the
bes: poems, the finest sketches of trav-
ell and discovery, and the most valua-
BILE historical, biographical, scientific,
and political information from the pens
of the foremost living authors.
| The extra Inducements to subscri-
bers iGr the ensuing year are worth no
| ticing. The amount of the best current
literature OF the world, thus offered,
certainly cannot otherwise be obtained
SO economically. q
4 The highest critical authorities pro-
nounce Ihe LiUilg Age the "best Of all
the ecieetics," presenting, as it does
with freshness and thoreughness what
is essential to American readers in 9
great and indispensable literature. In
the multiplicity of auarterlies, month
lilies, and weeklies, all of which it repre-
!, fsents with satisfying completeness
not elsewhere attempted, 1t has become
