The rumor is prevalent that Speaker
RANDALL has completed his selection of
committeeman and that he was able TO do
it with very little trouble. 1t has been his
policy in the past TO put the weak men of
his party into the position Of chairmen.
Among so many weak ones as the present
House affords he had no difficulty in max
ing the requisite selections. After this was
done, he probably shook the balance up in
bag, and drew them out indiscriminately.

The pending debate in the House is es-
pecially instructive insofar as it discloses
the seditious and bull-dozing tendencies of
the Democracy. The more there is of it,
the better it will be for the Republican
party. For this reason, if for no other, the
Bourbons are anxious to have it brought to
a close.

The speech of the day in the House yes
terday was delivered by Mr. WILLIAMS, of
Wisconsin. In the forty minutes allotted
to him he held the House and the galleries
by the force of his argument and the
power of his rhetoric with closer attention
than is usually accorded to the acknowl-
edged leaders of the minority The thread
of his effort brought out a sympathetic re-
sponse from the hearts Of those among his
hearers whose love of the principles for
which the war was fought has not been
dulled by forgetfulness of the dictates of
pure patriotism, and his arraignment of the
bull-dozing tendencies or characteristics of
the Southern Democracy was emphatic and
telling. In short his speech was u bold and
manly defense of the right, free from any
cringing concession, and straightforward in
its assertion that the purity Of the ballot
box has always been, and still is, in more
danger from the agencies Of violence
than from the instrumentalty Of the
representatives, civil or military, of the Gov
enment II should be read and distributed,

AMONG the important appointments made
in the present Senate we are gratif ed to no.
tice that Captain l. N. BuRRITr, of the
Sunday Herald, has been selected as clerk of
the Committee on the Revision of Laws.
We congratulate the Captain on having Sc
cured his egg for he deserves it. A Union of
ficer or soldier who makes the sacrifice Of
self-respect necessary TO enable him to ac-
cept menial position of service in the par
ty of rebellion deserves all he is likely to
get in return for it. Again, we congratu-
late the Captain on this distinguishing pre-
ferment, and we would also congratulate
the country on this appointment as most
decided and important ant-TLDEN tri-
umph. The committee of which Captain
BURRITT is made clerk is distinguished
more especially for having little or moth
ing to do, now that the caucus has virtually
superseded the committees of Congress in
all business matters. The Captains friends
need have no solctude rs to his being over
worked, unless he should overtax his ener-
gies in signing his name on the payroll.
