A Sensible Member.

In the house debate, Thursday, on the
proposition to create two new committees
and to enlarge the membership of certain
regular committees, the measure being gen.
orally admitted to be salve for the
wounded feelings of disappointed represen-
tatives, Mr.. Horr of Michigan went to the
root of the whole matter with characteristic
force and directness. In his opinion the
proposition would be fraught with danger.
The next thing would be to appoint a COM
mittee on the improvement of the Atlantic
coast; and next, one on the improvement
of the Kiskiminitas. The house would go on
portioning out the work until the commerce
of the country would be destroyed. He
was opposed to the action of the committee
on rules. Whence that trouble about com.
mittees The question was, Was the plas.
ter proposed large enough to cover us all p
There were ten men in the house, each OF
whom thought that if he were on the ways
and means committee it would be complete
But only places would be made for two
What would the other eight do The old sore
would only be torn open. The next thing
proud flesh would get in, gangrene would
follow; then death. This whole business
looked to him like boys play. He criticised
Mr.. Orth's proposition. That gentleman
had been here Tor thirteen years, and hat
never discovered the tyranny of the one
man power until week ago. Was there
anything in that tyranny that man coult
not see until he got black eye? Ovel
one-fifth of the time of the present session
had passed, and the question occurred Il
him, "What have we done 2" There wer'
many important questions pressing upor
