BURNSIDE OvERBoARD.-Tho SEN
ator from New York, Mr.. Conkling.
does not propose to take any doubtful
chances in the committee on com
mercc, and his hand is plainly visible
in its rc.arrangement BY substitnt-
ing Jones for Burnside he obtains com
pletc control, with q majority that
will never fail to back him in his con.
test with Mr.. Hayes. Conkling, Spen.
Ger, Jones, Mcmillan and Patterson
are formidable names for Hayes and
Evarts to contemplate, and they will
realize at once that committee sc
constituted will not be likely to show
them many favors. Wepresumc Gen
Burnside comprehends affairs. But
if he does not, we rather suspect that
this cutting will open his eyes for him.

GoNE TO PoT,--So many of Mr.
Hayes appointments, made during the
Summer failed TO be actcd upon by the
Senate, during the special session which
closed at IL o'clock the 80. Many per.
sons hold that they cannot be acted upon
at the regular session. The Pittsburg
Telegraph, in alluding to the question
says; Senator Wallace is OF the opin.
ion that the President may rightly re.
nominate for appointment the names
for the New York Custom House which
were rejected. This looks as though
at least portion of the Democracy
would now like to vote for their confr.
nation" The Democratic Senators
will always vote TO confirm appoint
ments when the candidates are fit men
for the positions to which they aspire.

TuE COLORADO CoNTEsr.-The House
elections committee took final vote
on the Colorado case and report de-
claring that Patterson Dem. is entitl.
ed to the scat was authorized by the
votes OF Messrs. Harris, Springer, Chand-
lcr, Cobb, Williams, Turney and Ellis,
total, seven (all Dcmocrais). Messrs.
Thornburgh, Wait and Hickock, Re
publican, will present a minority re-
port in favor of Belford (Rep), and
still another report will be submitted
to the House by General Cox (Ohio),
taking the ground that there was no
valid election, and hence neither par
ty to the contract should be admitted
unless duly chosen at new election.
Mr.. Cox has hit the nail on the head,
If the elections of Colorado are as
crooked as they are reported to be in
the election OF congressman, let tneiI
members be sent home until the Leg
islature fixes u day.

Don Piatt says: "Stillson Hntchins
said at one time last week that had he
started the Post last winter he would
not have cared who made the return

bossed the presidency by simply mar
shsling in battle array the phalanxes
of applicants for positions in the new
enterprise. He had sufficient foremen
OF the composing rooms to clean out

Washington is a bad place TO keep up

Office holders, who as class, pay less

The editor of the Washington Capi-
