The Committees.

Speaker Kerr yesterday, after an up-
usually long delay, announced the House
committees. From the garbled reports
in the telegraphio column it will be
seen that Louisiana is well represented.
The only chairmanship accorded to Louis
lana representative-thst of the Committee
on Mississippi Levees-is given to Mr.. Ellis
He is also member of the Committee on
War Claims. General Gibson is on the
Committees on Banking and Currency, and
Mines and Minning-very good places from
which to make valiant battle for speedy re-
sumption of specie payments. Mr.. Darrall
is on the Committee on Militia. Mr.. Levy
will serve on the Committees on Coinage,
Weights and Measures, and Private Land
Claims. General Morey is more favored
than any of his Democratic colleagues, &C
cording to the reports received. He is named
on three committee, public lands, Mis-
sissippi levees and manu- actories. Mr..
Nash will serve his constituents as well as
he may be able, at the tail-end of the Com
mittee on Education and Labor.

Out in the Cold.

The New Orleans Democrat o. Sunday
morning said:
Lat night the Buffalo Bill scout troupe
closed their spirited engagement at the Old
Drury, and tonight the newspapers will
have benefit for their home, which, we
trust, will be well patronizsd. This cold
weather is very severe on those poor waifs,
and benevolent hearts ought to be now
opened to them and render timely assist.
ance.
This, from paper one day old, argues
well for its large hearted sympathy. To be
out in the cold and driven from home with
out benefit, at this season of the year,
would be indeed a sad fate. The news
papers referred to are probably the would
be Democratic Bulletin. Times and Pic
ay"ne, and every heart instjuctively feels,
with the Democrat that This cold weat ather
is very severe on those poor waits" Subse-
quent events proved that the entertainment
was failure, pecuniarily, and now there is
nothing left our neighbors to do but pat
evening editions on the street, and beg:

bless you, and the mother who bore you,

Court Items.

Saturday being Christmas day, all the dis
trict courts will cause cases to be called on
Friday morning for the accommodation Of
attorneys.
Louis Andre Martinez and Samuel Stew
art Carlyle, Esqs., we're admitted last week
by the Supreme Court to practice in all the
courts of the State.
In the Superior Criminal Court, on Sat.
urday evening, the jury in the case OF
the State VS.. Thomas j. Newhouse, charged
with murder, returned verdict OF Iot
guilty.
The Attorney General yesterday filed an
inform against several members of the
House of Representatives, charging them
with having received money as a bribe to
influence their votes. Several days ago the
question sprung up that in such offenses,
under the statute. the accused should be
tried only by indictment of the grand jury.
The Attorney General asked that the
court would refuse to allow the infor-
nation filed that he might make a test
case OF it before the Supreme Court.
Judge Steele declined to do this. and or
dered the information filed; fixing the bail
at $1,000.
The two capital cases fixed for trial yes.
terday were both continued-the case of
State vs.. John Martin, incest, indefinitely,
and the case of State VS.. Michael Mcnamara,
murder, to the second Monday in Jannary.
In the latter case Judge Steele overruled a

Amusements.

The st. Charles Theatre was filled last
night from pit to dome. The attraction
was Lolita, little lady who is a tavorite
with all classcs; the play was ZIP" which
has been seen here before. Lolita did not
act in New Orleans last season, and she
now receives double welcome In Zip"
she is first discovered in the fish basket
brought on by Jach; when she popped up
the lid like jumping jock, showing her
self, and saying, Here am" she got an
old.time reception, at once tlattering and
reassuring to her of the favor in which she
is held. Lotia has long since stopped
growing old; she is to-day apparently
the same spright'y little thing she
was when she first came before
the footlgh, of the st. Charles
years ago. 1t has been said that she is
not an actress; she certainly kicks over all
established rules IF acting-kicks is the
wOrd-there is no actress like her; there are
no performers by whom she can be meas
ured. Yet year sfter year she draws the
same crowds to her; she is the favorite of
the gods in the gallery. She appears to enjoy
aching, and she puts her audience in the
best of humor. Her support lie good enough
for her pieces. Mr. E. A. l. ,cke is come
dian who makes an excellent second to her
efforts. Mr. c. w. Couldock, also in the
company under Mr.. Abbey's management,
is well known as one of the best actors in
America Considering the dull times, Lotta
bids fair to play a good engagement.
At the Varieties Theatre Mr.. John Nc
Culough appt ared last night as Iiygiaius.
1t is grand character, and now that Ma
cready and Forrest have passed beyond
stages and players, we have nc better rep
resentative of the part than Mr.. McCul-
Tough, who takes up the Roman toga as
Forrest left it, and wears it nobly on his
broad shoulders. "Virginius' is one of the
best tragedies which holds place on the
stage, aside from the creations of Shake.
speare. 1t Is effective in action; its lesson
is one Of morslity, and its language Is
smoothly flowing with gems of thought set in
flowers of poetry. Mr.. Mccullough gives
great force to the character of the Roman
father; he is dignitied in appearance; he has
pathos for the scenes where his child clings
to him for prot ction, and in the great tria.
scene he lets loose seeming whirlwind of
passion. The support given by the com.
pany was not such as the trasedian should
receive in first class theatre. Mrs Chan
frau, who should be often seen in the cast
with Mr.. MeCr Tough, as she is an excellent
leading lady, will play in Parted" at the
Wednesday matinee.

BabcOck,s Dfspatches.

A Chicago dispatch of the sixteenth says
that General Mcdonald, now in Jail, is al

completely in the whisky ring. The tele-
grams attributed to General Babcock he
says are true, but none of them referred to
the whisky business. He explained that

Pinchback's Chances.

A Washington special to the Philadelphia
Press says that at the last meeting of the
Senate Committee on Privileges and Elec-
tions there was an informal discussion of
the case of Pinchback. The indications,
Judging from the expressions of the various
members, were that this question would not
be urged until the reassembling of Congress
after the Christmas recess. The opinion of
Senator Morton and other Jealous advocates
of Pinchback's cause in the Senate is that
there will be no further irreconcilable OBJ
stacles in the way of admission.
