| ALBANY, Feb. 9.-Speaker Patterson is now
responsible for the deadlock in the Assembly. The
ment he announces his committees the business OF the
State will receive that attention which 1t has deserved
the past six weeks. Knowing this fact the members
the Assembly beginning TO wonder at his delay in
submitting the committee list. There is suspicion
already expressed that the publication OF the
list is postponed In order to force the
Tammany Assemblymen, through fear of being
placed on obscure committees, to vote for
the candidates for the minor offices in the As
semDly. The Tammany Assemblymen are not to be
moved by any such fears They that Speaker Pat
is honorable not to reward them for voting for
him, and that they will not make any further conces
sions to the Tilden Democrats even if they lose every
position they desire the committees St the delay in
announcing the committees is thought to be due some
what to the difficulty OF dealing with the Tanmany As
sembymen. compliance with all their demands
would involve the Speaker in "a quarrel
with his allies, the County Democracy Of New-YOrk.
