TIE HOUSE COMMITTEES.

WASHINGTON, April 5.-The House Com
mittee on Rules. who have had under con-
sideration the proposition to increase the
membership Of several of the most impor-
1ant standing committees or TIE House,
have authorized Mr.. Blackburn to report to
the House IN favor OF increasing the COM
mittcc on Elections from II, as at last Con-
g1css. to Is: Ways and Mems, from | to
-; Appropriations, from III TO 10; Com
merce. from II to ID; Judiciary, from II to
10; aud fixing the membership OF the Com
mittee on Enrolled Bills at instead or ., rs
al last session. The proposition to increase
the Pfntin" Committee was considered, but
1t was found that the law fixed the member
ship OF that committee at 3, i'll conformity
with the like committee Of the Senate, the
two acting jointly, when by so doing mea-
sures referred to them can be better facll-
tated. The committee took no action on
the proposed distribution OF the several
annual appropriation bills among the COM
mltces having like subjects IN charge. but
it i. very probable that when the question OF
increasing the Committee on Appropria-
tons is laid before the House some contro-
yeIsy will ARISE, and that those favoripG a
division OF the work OF appropriations viii
propose to commit TO the Military Commit.
lee The appropriations for the army ana all
he branches Of the military service; to the
Naval Committee the appropriations for the
naval service, and to the Commerce Com
nittee tic appropriations relating to navl-
cation, DC.
