THE SENATE'S COMMITTEES.
WASHINGTON, December 5.

In the Republican caucus to day the
committee appointed to revise the
standing committees of the Senate
made their report, which was accepted.
The caucus decided to give the Demo
Gratis one additional representative on
each of the following committees;
Finance military, naval, Indian and
District of Columbia. Jones, of Neva
da, takes the place of Burnside on the
commerce committee, the latter taking
jones' place on post offices. This
makes the commerce committee
strongly, anti Hayes. This commit ee
has to consider all appointments of
Consuls, Collectors, Appraisers, Naval
Officers, etc. Voorhees, goes on the
finance committee in place of Howe,
and this makes the committee rather a
soft money one. The Democrats will
have caucus to morrow toselect their
representation on the committees.
Senator Wallace, the chairmau of the
caucus, has the matter in charge, and
is to night arranging the list. The
caucus to day assigned Mr.. Kellogg to
to three committees, viz, on pensions
on transportation routes to the sea
board and on the Mississippi -levees.
