ceased. On the whole, the organization Of
this committee is calculated to bring out,
in strongest relief, the antithcsis which the
professions of the Republican party offer to
the practices Of Democracy under the au.
spices of Samrandall. 1t will prove most
fortunate organization, and will reflect
credit upon the Speaker, not only in the
partisan, but in the widely-popular sense
as well.
These three committees cover the three
subjects of leading public importance We
say nothing at present of the Elections
Committee, preferring to wait and see.
But If the Speaker had consulted us as to
the makeup Of Ways and Means and Ap.
preparations, we could noe have suggested
the matter from the Speakers standpoint
There Is one other committee which will
have to deal with a subject of vast i'm
portance and extreme dclicacy, and which
has been organized with gratifying strength.
This Is the Pensions Committee, Of which
the genial and gifted Tom Browne is chair
man. This committee will be confronted
at the outset with the intricate and per.
picking problem OF devising practicable
scheme to arrest. the enormous frauds
that are being piled in upon the
Treasury under the loose and bungling
arrears Of pensions act, invented rs
votc.trap by the 45th Democratic
House. The Democrats did not catch the
desired votes in this trap. but multitude
of rogues all over the country have used it
to catch great many millions of Uncle
Sans dollars. Tom Browne is the right
kind of man to tackle such difficult and
dangerous problem. Perfectly fearless,
conscientious and straightforward, he will
go about his work regardless alike of the
abuse of newspapers and the clamor of dem.
agogues He is booked for liberal share
of both, but we have no doubt that he will
calmly proceed, in conjunction with his
able colleagues on the committee, and his
equally courageous coadjutor the Commits.
sioner of Pensions, to root out the system
of frauds and impositions that, unless ar.
rested peremptorily. bids fair to swamp the
Treasury
We have neither time nor space for o
detailed review Of the other committees
Suffice to say that in general they are
the best that could be made with the ma.
terial at hand. The Speaker has done
well; infinitely better than his friends
could have hoped and out of all description
better than his opponents wished. He ha'
developed to an astonishing degree quail
ties which rank foremost among the quail
fications Of q Speaker-to wit, good
nature, which seems exhaustless, and {
patience which, during the wear and worry
of the past three weeks. has often risen tt
the plane of the heroic. The dissatisfac
ton ofindividuals will rapidly give place
to the acquiescence of all, and we conf
IDENTIFY predict that the Speakers work will
grow in the public favor as it shall b
tested in actual legislation.

FRAUD OR FACT.

AN ENGINEER SUED Fol: MAKING A FAVOR
ABLE REPORT on A SILVER NINE.
NEW IoRK, April 1.-Sidney De Kay be-
gan, recently. in the Supreme Court, an
action against Prof. Rossiter ". Raymond to
recover SCI, 900 damages alleged to have been
sustained by him by reason of the alleged
faisity of certain statements contained in
report written by the defendant OF the con,
dtion and value Of certain mines owned ana
worked by the Chryso1ite Silver Mining
Company.
The complaint recites that Prof. Raymond
received $500 from the mining company for
writing a very favorable report, which was
published March =, 1850.
Mr, De Kay charges that Prof. Raymond
knew tile report to be untrue when he made
IT: that he did not make careful eXauli1ia-
tin1n of the mines; and that these were not
worth S7,000,0o0, as he had reported, or more
tWrhs t1ir answer to the complaint admits the
making Of the report, but denies the charges
Of fraud or Misrepresentation.
Mr. ri: Be Kay's attorneys obtained an order
for the examination Of Prot, RAYMOND as a

Special Dtspateh to The Chtcaoo Tribune.
New YoRK, April 2.-The month Of March
gave promise Of increased activity and pros
pcrity in the shipments of grain, and ship
pers, merchants, spectators, and dealers in
grain are preparing for the demand from
Europe. It is confidently expected that the
shipments Of grain for the summer months
will be larger by several millions Of bushels
than that of any preceding year. During the
mouth Of March the shipments Of grain from
the port of New York amounted to Co.'s, 712
bushels, as follows: 4,N3,s4s bushels of
wheat, 2,5l4,036 bushels Of corn, and s., s,ss3'G
bushels of rye. To carry this large amount
Of grain across the ocean, the services
in whole or part of 173 vessels were required.
These included nlnety-two steamers, twelve
ships, sixty-eight barks. and one brig. 4 re-
markabe feature of the trade is the large
number OF steamers now carrying grain to
Europe All steamers, both OF the regular
and outside lines, including passenger steam
ers, carry grain. The following natlonalitles
are represented: Great Britain, lH vessels

A
Special Dispateh TO The Chicago Tribune
NEW York, April 2.-The Rev. DR.. Philip
Schatf, who was one of the American Com
mittee on the Revision OF the New Iesta-
ment, said to-day OIL this subject: The
changes are so many that scarcely verse in
the New Testament remains unaltered. LII
many instances, however, the alterations
concern punctuation and minor words. VI
course, any alteration will arouse criticism,
but think that we can hold our own, ana
we are prepared to do battle for what we
have done and sanctioned. We ffave worked
between two fires,-the radicals want
ing far more sweeping changes than
we would sanction, and the other
party rolling their eyes in horror when 4
comma was transposed or a small letter re-
placed by capital. The controversy Will
probably 20 on for a few years. At the emu
of five years at the latest I expect to see the
new version accepted by all but the most
narrow-minded persons.
An INTERESTING AND EXHAUSTIVE WORK,
now in preparation In England, will give an
account Of the debates of the Committee and
the arguments Which were put forward i'll
favor of and against the different
changes adopted, as well as lntorina-
ton concerning changes, suggested by
different rcvisers and not adopted: The New
Testament will be sold III England: Scotland,
ireland, Australia, and the United States OH
