WASHINGTON, December S.-a great
deal of dissatisfaction with the presi.
dents mess ,ge is beginning to manifest
itself among a large party of Republ
cans, who are of the opinion that he neg
lected the questions of paramount inter
est, such as those connected with re.
form, legislation, the financial interests
of the country, etc, for the purpose OF
raising two new issues connected with
our schools and churches, upon which
| he hopes to ride into another term of
| Office. They feel outraged that the Presi-
dent should thus attempt to put the
party in false position for his own sell
| fish purposes. 1t is notable that among
the Republican Congressman who are
| here, there are not half-doZen
who are third-termers. All speculation
at this time regarding the probable com :
position of the House committees is good
for nothing. Speaker kerr's mind is
not yet made up to any thing in that
line, and he will not likely be prepared
earlier than the middle of next week. In
-
receive suggestions from members upon
this difficult and important subject
Congressional delegations from several
of the States called in force to-day upon
the Clerk, Sergeant alarms, Door keep
er and Postmaster Of the House, urging
the appointment of persons from their
respective States to places in the House.
A clean sweep will be made sooner or
later, probably very soon, las the pressure
for octiiial position Is overwhe lining.
WASHINGTON, December S.-A resolu-
tion has been prepared by II prominent
Southern Congressman, gentleman who
was ar officer of the Confederate army,
and has been for many years recug-
nized Democratic leader in the South,
declaring in full and definite terms that
the Confederate war debt shall never be
recognized or assumed by the United
States that no claim for slaves freed
during and by the war shall ever be es-
teemed lawful and that the national
credit must be ever kept unimpeached.
This will be submitted to the House at
an early day, and the utmost confidence
is expressed that it will be adopted with
but feeble dissent.
Changes in the Senate Committees
WASHINGTON. Dec. S.---The caucus of
Democratic Senator'S to-day made some
changes in their representation on the
leading committees of the Senate. The
Republican caucus declined to allow
them an additional member of the Ii
nance committee, to which they were
justly entitled, and it therefore remains
with Mr.. Bayard and Mr.. Il ernan upon
1t. IL is singular fact that while the
Republican Senators decline to allow the
Democrats representation sou the COM
', 70 t1,.i,,
number in the Senate, the Republicans
Of the House are clamoring for larger
one than they gave the Democrats in the
last House, who mad relatively about the
same. The Republican Senators III their
caucus, however, have increased the Sen
ate committee on privileges and election,
20 ten, and = wen the Democrats three
members uponi;, Mr.. Cooper OF Iennes-
see, making the tilrd Senator Nj.
Eaton succeeds the late Andrew johnson
on the committee On Foreign Relations.
