Tho appointment Of The committees gives
general satisfaction. Speaker Allen has cvi-
IDENTITY made Very fair selection If tbs CON
mttec uen, aud so far as the committees are
c2ncarned neither debt-payer nor rcadjustcg cs;i
boast Of auy advantage.
Il Is a noteworthy fact that tV2Iy member
of the committee on militia is either a GenCril
or NJ Or.
The Speaker also appointed the following
membtrS of the joint committee to Investigate
The discrepancy 10 the Second Auditors oIion
Henry, johnson, of Giles, Elwar1s. Henson,

The committee will organ z: to night aud :.u.h
forward the work of investigation.

understand when he went to engage Counsel
he stated that he had indeed courte1 the
young lady, aud that she accepted him, but
Wien he went to kiss her her breath saic!!
ID SO bad that he burst Got MIKE the attempt.
This is one Of the amusing statements that
came Uuf IN Court.
Clerk Bigger has not yet appointed lis com
mittce clerks. The applicants arc numerous
aud voracious.
There are so many new members OF the LIZ
stature, and so few old ones, thar 'the boy"
Ga the average newspaper cus5 nsed to delight
TO call them, arc not yet well acquainted. Two |
or three years ago every n,embcr Of the House |
was every other members tr'eud, aud thy |
used to have jolly time. 10 DoticiDg the per
Soncl of the present body am conslralaru to
believe that the number Of fun loving members
has been greatly diminished. Poor B.gwcII is
20 more. Cd Cousin William Cecil, from
