No committees yet from Speaker Ram
dali, but the understanding is they will
all be announced on Thursday and Fri
day. The probable selection of Fernan-
do Wood 10 head the Ways and Means
Committee seems to give very general
satisfaction to the Democracy.
DELAY OVER LOUISIANA.
There is going to be no end Of delay
over the case OF the Louisiana Senator'S,
for the Seuate Committee has consented
to have Judge Spo1fOrd and Mr.. Kellogg
both have a nearing, aided by CouLciI.
Judge Campbell, Of New Orleans, will
appear for Spofford. Mr.. Campbell took
an ac i've part in the Louisiana case be-
fore the Electorate Commission.
THE JOLLY EDITORS.
There Is an influx of editors to the
city. Hon. Edward Cowles, of the
Cleveland (Ohio) Leader, is here look
ing after foreign mission of some kind.
Dom Piatt,, in MS Sunday Capital,
pokes fun at CowIes, and says to his
positive knowledge Cowles has been
going to Switzerland Tor twelve years,
but as it is long journey he hasn't
reached there yet. Cowles is gentle
man ard runs powerful paper and de-
serves we'll OF the party. Col Kelly, OF
tue Louisville Commercial, is also here;
likewise Gen. Bartlett, of the Boston
Traveller. Yesterday the editor of the
n. Y. Tribune put in an appearance.
What does 1t all mean?
SYMPATHY FOR BLAINE.
Great sympathy is felt for Senator
Blaine on account Of the accident to his
daughter, who is in Maine, by the pre-
mature discharge of pistol. The Sem
ator is lying too ill to leave for home.
and is paired off with Herman, OF New
York.
CAUCUS JAMBOREE.
The House Republicans hau lively
little jambOree at the house of one OF the
Cabinet Ministers, Saturday night.
They met to talk over the situation, and
got into squabble over the Presidents
policy; but the affair ended in a war of
words only, and they agreed to keep
peace in the party at all hazards. 1t was
agreed also, il the Democrats offer any
resolutions In the House indorsing MIR.
Hayes policy, to amend it by declaring
that he holds his office by an unques-
tionable title. Ben. Butler was ut the
caucus, risky as an eel; Garfield was
quite prominent; Foster and Cox, of
ONO, TOOK an active part, and Frye and
Hale were decidedly tonguey.
The statistics received at the Depart
ment Of Agriculture show that the wheat
crop OF 1877 is the largest one ever pro-
duced in ouf country, which ought to be
good news to the poor.
CONGRESSIONAL LAXITY.
Clara Morris, the queen par excel
lence OF emotional actresses, began an
eng agement last night at the National.
The house was crowded, many Senators
and members being present, and every
body was deligh, ed. She appeared in
"Miss Mutton" 1t is said, however,
that there were more Congressman at
the Theater Comique, where Madame
Bests sentimental and red-stocknged
blondes hold the boards. 0, temp0ra!
0. mOfeS! 1t is sad.
The CITY is full OF men appointed to
Offices during the summer, who are now
here watching for confirmation. They
are nervous and tidgetty lest there may,
in their case, be slip 'twixt cup and
lip" CINCINNATI.
