THE HOUSE COMM,r1EEa.

1t is draying it very mild to say that
Speaker McEckron has made grave mis-
take in the appointment of his committees.
He has evidently BEEN badly advised, and
has weakly yielded to counsels that were
neither wise nor polite. Committees that
ought to he strong are weak; some Of them
resemble Victor Hugo's devil. fish, having q
great many arms and no head; and, blatant
demagcgues are given places that they are
nc, !it TO fill, and in which they may be able
TO do serious damage to the best interests oil
the State.
In the selection OF John Martin, Of Topeka,
as Chairman of the Judiciary Committee,
McEckron has violated the commonest rules
of procedure. Mr.. Martin il an excellent
and able man, and We have nothing 10 Say
concerning his fitness for the position. But
both Judge Horton, of this city, aud Mr..
Fenlon, of Leavenworth, we're entitled to
precedence over him, the former having
been District Judge for years, and the lat
ter having served several terms in the Lesis-
lature.
The selection Of J. C. Horton, of Law
renee, as Chairman of the Ways and Means
Committee, "a one of the best that could have
been made. Judge Horton is alao a~igned
to very important place, the Chairmanship
of the Committee on State AHairs. in view
of the investigations to be ordered, and the
questions Of Constitutional Convention.

The only business consummated in the
House to-day, was the announcement Of
STANDING Committee
by the Speaker. Every one anticipated the
appointment of Fenlon - Chairman Of Judi
ciary, Anthony of Apportionment, and Pot
ter of Ways and Means, bat the Speaker
disappointed everybody BY the selection Of
other mer. and the feeling b almost universal
that Speaker McEckron, for some purpose,
or by means of bad advice, has
IGNORED THE VOTERS
and taxpayers of the State BY placing men
of little. or no importance as chAirmen OF
committees, which places they are not fitted
to fill. The feeling OF the great majority
of the members to-day is bitter against the
Speaker and bis appointments, and We BE-
lieve that if it was in order the House would
at once select

When the committees we're announced by
the Chair, to:h Fenlon and Anthony asked
to be

vote excused them. That the Speaker did

REGARDED the motion to subscribe for paper
% most injudicious and unwise, and moved
IN amendment, that each member be allow
ed to subscribe for - many papers - he de-
sired to pay for. 1t seems singular to heal
such language from Mr.. Anthony. but We
might give . reason or two for 1t. First,
Mr.. Anthony being snubbed BY Changers
and Reformers, has expressed himself deter
mined to give them all the reform they
want, and it il we'll known most Of the coun.
try members really wanted the newspapers.
second, Mr.. Anthony's paper never did and
never will be popular with enough men to
gain dozen subscribers, even with such an
appropriation. Hence it was not q matter
OF money to Daniel to support the resolu-
tion.-Commereid.

that in 1871 The TINES was paid $2lS. q
for newspapers furnished members Of the
Legislature; and the Commercial received
only $685.! In 1873 The TINES received
$457. 80 for newspapers, from the State,

The following is the exact text Of the letter
addressed BY Mr.. Cushing to Jefieron Davis:
WASHINGTON, March 20, 1871.
DEAR SIR:-Mr. Archibald Roane, for the
last ak or seven years . clerk in the Att0r-
ney Generals Office, desires from me letter
of introduction to you, and be deserves 1t,
not in the view Of anticipating administerial
forms, but that he may have the honor Of
your personal intercourse. Of this l take
pleasure in assuring you he is eminently
worthy. A Southern man ny birth, family,
and Affections, he has carefully studied and
ably discussed in De Bows Review, and 9th
er Souther works the lamentable events
which have been gradually undermining,
and have at length overthrow the American
Union. While practical man. he is aleO q
ripe and accomplished scholar, with indeed,
predominant literary Tastes and habits. In
the discharge of his official duties he las
combined in singular degree the purest in
tegrity, and most enlightened intelligence,
with modest contentment in his lot, having
more than once declined Offices Of the most
conspicuous employment in the public ser-
vice. He now resigns his present Office from
sentiments Of devotion to that which alone
he can feel to be his country-namely, the
Confederate States, from one Of which Tex
as) he was appointed. most heartily COM
mend him a. . gentleman and az a man TO
YOUR confidence and esteem; and l am, with
The highest consideration, your obedient ser-
want. C. CUSHING.
To Hon. Jefferson Davis, President Of the
Confederate States.
