TILE HOUSE CONlNLTTEES.

Sneaker Keifer has performed the perpleXinc
task of making up the House Committees with
a fair degree of skill and Judgment. He has no
doubt disappointed great many more mem
bcrs than he has satisfied; but this was I'M
avoidable, for The desirable CharmanshipS
are few in number and the ambitious men
who fancied they had claims upon them
were legion. due regard to experience and
ability seems to characterize most of the selec-
tiops. and the geographical distribution of
places, which is point always kept i'll view, is
not unfairly made. Judge Kelley, of Pcnnsyl-
vania, gets the Ways and Means Committee,
upon which he has served as a member time out
of mind and where, for many years during the
former period of Republican supremacy in the
House, he sat next the head. This is proper
recognition of his long service and his constant
interest in the welfare of American industries,
and at the same time generous amnesty for
the Greenback follies which took him out OF
the Republican party few years ago and led
him to advocate on the stump the election of a
Democrat for Governor OF Ohio.
The second best place, that of chairman of
the Appropriations Committee, is with evident
propriety given to Mr.. Hiscock, whose promi-
nence as q candidate lot inc SpcdhcrSIlp ana
talents for practical legislative work merit this
recognition. We notice with surprise, how
ever, that another candidate for the Speaker
Ship and one of much greater experience in the
House, gets no craftsmanship at all. We refer
to Mr. Kasson, who, in view of his long and
conspicuous Congressional service and of his
recent career in a high diplomatic capacity,
ought to have been appointed to the chairman
ship of Foreign Relations. That he should be
passed over in this way is the most singular
thing about the whole committee list.
For the rest, Mr.. Reed, of Maine, at the
head of the Judiciary Committee, is good
man in the right place. MI. Grape, OF
Massachusetts, will make a safe chairman
of Banking and Currency, and Mr. Harris,
from the same State, who gets the Naval
Craftsmanship, lives near enough to salt water
to know that the country needs Navy. Cen
eral McCook, of New-York, who is put at
the head of the Library Committee, might well
have been gwen the more important Committee
on Military Affairs. The Commerce chairman
ship goes to Mr.. Page, of California, which is
perhaps well enough, for he lives out of the
range of the log-rolling for Western river inn
proyement Jobs. and there are only half dozen

Italy, which has heretofore had a property
qualification for the elective franchise, based
upon the English system, has taken step for
ward and made the only test for suffrage the
ability to read and write. This test will shut
out large part of her adult male population,
but it is a fair and safe one--fair because any
man who chooses can in a short time relieve
himself from the disability of ignorance, and
safe because the persons it will exclude from
the ballot are those who are untitled to use its
