JOHN B. LAFITTE of New Orleans declines
to become member of the board to carry
out the" refunding Of the state debt. His
mind is much like that of the man who lis
tened to the colored preachers description Of
the two paths-he is going to take to the
woods. He says:
1 have pictured myself at that board, bound
down by the terms of the act; have in my
minds eye seen ranged before me valid bonds,
for which dollar for dollar in gold was paid in
to the treasury. I have seen others issued un-
der lawful authority but taken by thieving
again issued in fraud but sold to innocent third
parties and others again that were fraudulent
from their inception and still held by the
original receivers, all mixed in one mass, and
all standing upon the. same footing when ex.
amined by the provisions of the funding act.
In cutting down the one to six-tenths of its
face value, ! should feel that was applying to
the honor of my state the seething iron of re-
pudation, and in funding the other that was
lending an unwilling hand to the robbery Of
the state I cannot and will not occupy such

SENATOR MORTON will reiutroduce at the

SENATOR MORTON will reintroduce at the
present session, his bill to provide for count
ing the electoral votes for President and Vice
President, and to abolish the twenty-second
joint rule of Congress, under which the votes
are now counted. Under.this rule the House
may reject electoral votes, even though the
Senate accept them, and so the election Of
President be thrown into the House. Mr..
Morton's bill provides that no electoral vote
shall be rejected except by the concurrent
vote of the two bodies. There is danger that
the Democratic House may take the election
of the next President into its own hands, by
throwing out upon trifing technical objec.
tions, the electoral votes of the Republican
states.

SPECULATIoNs as TO the composition of the
House committees are rife in Washington.
Mr.. Kerr's task is not so difficult as that of
his Republican predecessors, 1t is generally
conceded, for the reason that there are not
Democrats enough of eminent talents in the
House to stand in each Others way. Good
judges predict that the craftsmanship of the
Ways and Means Committee will be given to
Fernando Wood on account of his position
on the tariff question. The craftsmanship of
the Appropriations will be given to Mr. Ran
dali. This gentleman has expressed belief
several times each session that the annual ex-
penses can be reduced $5O,OOO,OO0. He will
have good chance to try it. Mr.. Cox has
claims to the leadership OF the Banking and
Currency Committee, but it will not do to
give three financial chairmanships to the
East. so he will have to content himself with
Foreign Affairs. Mr.. Lamar will take either
the Banking or the Election Committee. Mr..
Holman will have the Claims, Milton Sayler
the Judiciary, Whitthome of Tennessee Nav
al Affairs, ,and Hester Clymer the Centennial.
Hancock of Texas is prominently spoken of
in connection with the Pacific Railroad. In
regard to the craftsmanship of the Military
Committee the Democrats are in quandary.
They have large number of military men
in the House, but they all served on the
wrong side. There is not prominent Dem
ocrat in the House who was Union soldier.
OF the eleven members of each of the promi-
nent committees four will be given to the Re-
publcans.

In the contest just begun in the national
