In our WASHINGTON DISPATCHES yesterday, ref

ioeton correspondence Of the Baltimore A,ncrl
can, relative 10 reported contemplated move
TO deprive Speaker Randall OF the authority to
appoint the shading committees. The state
mcnt alluded 10 is as follows
The grand comp contcmplates no less feat
than snatchiug all the standing committees from
the Speakers coutroI Se9cra! oil the leaders
ot the dissatisfied democrats made propos't,on
TO The republican side to pass resolution that
the iious. shall appoint its own committees
The democrats offered TO deliver at least forty
votes from their side, which added 10 the re-
publican strength, would insure the success OF
the movement. The democrats 10 revolt prom
lied the republicans five members out OF eleven
90 each committee. AT present the republicans
have only four. The republicans think 1t quite
probable that the forty democrats will come
to time, and the proposition Is DOW actually
uodesserous consideration. Hutton and Wak-
CT, Of Virginia, are said to be very acIVe lG
tryiog to strike this blow at Randall. Walker
aud Cox have both entered vow OF vengeance
for their treat @ent in the appointment OF COM

discreet remarks of some of the democratic

opponents. Democrats congressman may not
be the wiscst people 10 the world, but they
c,rtaioly are GOT such simpletops as at this
time, aud under existing circumstances, to con-
template, for 40 instant movement that, it it
did not divide would certainly seriously impair
the effectiveness Of the party organization. Our
Washington correspondent denied the truth Of
the statement 80 far as it referred to the two
members from Virginia, and Wa are confident
that denial Of the whole Of it would be sub
stantiated by facts, though unquestiouably such
8 move would be facilitated by all the means at
the disposal of the radicals.

The necessity for liberal action in this
matter has recently been forcibly illustrated.
If Congress had been in session week be-
fore last they might have hcsitated to ap-
propriatc twenty millions of dollars for en-
ploying men on internal improvements, and
yet 1t is estimated that the country lost fully
that sum from the disorders arising out Of
the want of sufficient employment for labor
ers. When Congress assemblies, therefore,
