PACIFIC RAILROAD COMMITTEE.
Special Dispatch to the Ne,p York Tines.
WARRINGTON, Dec. 2l.-The appointments
made by Mr.. Kerr give no better satisfaction to-
day than yesterday, and it will require all the
time till Congress reassembles to reconcile MEM
bers to their positions. Mr.. Cox pithily ex-
presses his opinion OF the assignments
by the remark that ''they are the
work of an invalid" 1t is clear
that new and small clique are endeayoring to
take possessisn of tho Democratic machine, and
Mr. Kern, who is an extreme partisan, is shaping
his course to serve the purposes OF few. The
Republicans are well satisfied with the positions
given them on the committees; but the minority
ia always easily satisfied in this respect, because
they have no opportunities for distinction by
reason Of any committee assignment
MIR. Kerr is pfaieed by some for hls boldnese
iii nyerstepping the bounds Of precedent. ILai
boldnes5 gave the Ways and Means CGmIGittee
to Morrison instead Of Wood. Why" ask 9TH

wall of precedent, do really oreditable thing,
and give the committee to a man who would
have been regarded by the country as the most
able and honest man in the House, instead OF a
mere personal friend 7"
1t has been learned that prominent Ohio
politician, who laDOfed actively III tne specula-
tors initiation campaign, LAS been working to se-
cure the appointment on the Pacific Railroad
Committee Of two mon favorable to the subsidy.
Curiousy enough, both the gentlemen he
specially labored for are assigned to the COM
mittee. This committee could not have been ar
ranged more to the satisfaction of the Texas
Pacific people if they had made an express
agreement with Mr.. Kerr previous to his cleo
ton. Nobody believed the subsidy will be
granted. because of the shadow Of the next
Presidential contest. II the election was over,
the customary management in such cases would m
secure the passage of tho subsidy bill. The
South means to have it and the South rules the
party
An analysis OF the committees by local dis
