siderable speech-making and the adoption Of
about 90 resolutions, recommending all sorts

think should be commenced at once, and the
Illinois river improvement finished Also
the New York canal enlarged to a ship canal
from Oswego to the Hudson. Resolutions
were also adopted declaring that the pressing
need OF the country is system of transporta-

that to restore a metallic currency it is only
necessary to supply the means of exporting
our products at prices which will enable us
to sell them in other countries that this con.

THE COMMITTEES.

Speaker Kerr unQuessi0nably gave con
gress and the country a surprise by the com
position of his committees, as announced OF
Monday, especially the leading ones, such a
the Ways and Means, judiciary, &c. Th
lsqusbble between Fernando Wood and San
Cox for the craftsmanship Of the Ways ant
Means committee left the speaker no choice
but to reject both, but in giving tn, contested
place, which Is regarded as the most honor
able and responsible in the house, to SECOND
or third rate man like W. X. Morrison, of II
Illinois, Is where the surprise comes in. Nor
rison, though in his eighth year in congress
! had never even made q set speech, never orig
mated any important measure, and indeed nev
or been known to lift his head above the com
monest level Such man as leader of the
house--to propose all the great financial
measures and TO stand ready to explain and
defend them at any moment from any and
every assault, seemed to be next to supremacy
ridiculous. But on q closer acquaintance
with the man and looking into all his antece
dedents, il may be found that in Morrison
they have got hold Of singed cat. AS a
stump speaker in his own district he has al
ways been found ready enough of speech
and as speaker Of the Illinois legislature he
was found glib Of tongue and always promp,
and correct In his decisions At all events,
Fernando Wood being second on the Ways
and Means committee, Morrison can turn
over the leadership to him whenever any ex.
ira talking or tactics may become necessary
The correspondent of the World endorses
Morrison as IA gentleman of uncommon
knowledge and of great probity, patriotism,
and persistence. He is one OF the weightest
men in council, and the most prompt and
resolute in action in this congress, trusted in
his state and throughout the west, hard
money man, revenue-tariff man, and one
thoroughly imbued with the latest and best
ideas of the reformed democracy, steering be-
tween Scylla and Charybdis."
AS TO the rest of the committees, though it
is true that no conspicuous men appear at
their head, Il must be borne ia mind that Mr.,
Kerr had very little first class material at his
disposal for chairmanships. The mass of
the members are new and untrIed, and IT will
take session or two before their strength Is
developed. As a whole, it is being rapidly
conceded that while it questionable wheth.
er the committees could have been better,
they could have been much worse. The
south and the west, at least, have been con.
spicuously favored, and should be the last to
complain, ara.. ......... ... r. .
