rrhe resolution appointing The committee on the
part Of the House was introduced by Mr. McCrary OF
Iowa on the 9TH of December, 1876 and referred to
the Judiciary Committee. The committee re-
ported it back on the nth, with an amend
uent increasing the number of the commit
fec from five to seven. and an additional reso-
luton appointing another committee with some
what similar duties. In its new form the reso-
linton was passed without division. When the

tiou Senator Edmunds offered resolution referring
tho message to a similar committee on the part of
thc Senate This committee was authorized, but not
Girectcd 10 confer with the House Committee. On

SIR. In the personal column of your issue OF feD
20. 1877. n notice about my father, Charles hlngs-
lev. appears that cannot pass by in silence. III
close it herewith:

had none of The feeling which has made Others hoa ~

Tar higher nay elsewhere carry my pigs 10 te ocs'

After his coming into public notice through
"AIton Locke" he published with John Parker
Son till the death, either in 1857 or lS0S OF Jonh
Parker IT.. who was personal friend aud virtually
the head of the firm. From that time Maciil.i'"n
d. Co. published all his books; and so lar from
selling himself to the highest bidder, have wi'ih
the mast six months seen old letters from different
firms offering him almost his own terms-which
offers had been refused. No man was more true 10
his friends. and no authOr more true to his pup
Usher than Charles Kingsley; and for the sake OF
his memory must beg -you at once to correct the
assertion referred to. i remain, very fathIuiiy
