THE LEADER OF THE HOUSE.

The committees of the House will be
 announced tomorrow, and the usual interest
 is felt in their construction. Speaker Hal
 has had plenty of good advice, both from the press and members of the House. and if he
 satisfies everybody will do something that
 none of his predecessors have done. But as
 he is an experienced legislator himself, and a good judge of men, he may be expected to
 act wisely in his selections.
 There has been most talk about the chair manship of the Judiciary committee. Judge Charles w. Gillette of Waterbury, George c. Ripley of Norwich and J. Warren Johnson of Enfield have been strongly pressed for the place. The chairmanship of the Judiciary committee has been generally looked upon as carrying the leadership of the House with it, but the Hartford Post protests against the 1 continuance of this idea. Says the Post :: | ''It may or may not carry the weight of au- | thority. All depends upon the man. He may lead or he may sadly fall behind. And | there should be no fictitious importance put | upon the place either to the advantage of any man or to the disadvantage of the House. The whole committee is made up of lawyers with the exception usually of one layman, | and the matters brought before it are of such character that there is less danger of chairman running away with his associates than in many other committees where a man of exceptional power is chairman. The Ju- dietary committee needs to be composed of men of good practical judgment, rather than able debaters, for they can do the State the best service by preventing the enactment of laws instead of encouraging legislation. It is more question of keeping off than putting on the statute books, just as in the publica. tion of newspaper the best editors work is not in what he publishes but in what he keeps away from his readers"
 The Post points out that as legislative busi- ness runs in this State there is very much of highest public interest in the work of several committees with which the work of the Ju- dietary committee ordinarily is not to be compared. "And this fact exposes the claim to general leadership by the chairman of the Judiciary committee to serious question: The construction of railroads, the establishment and control of savings banks, the question of the finances, the regulation of the militia, and many other matters afording topics of vari- ous names and natures, are to be considered by other committees whose members have great responsibilities in some sessions thrown upon them.''
 There is, of course no necessity that the chairman of the Judiciary committee should be leader of the House. But we cannot see any serious objection to the appointment to that place of man who is fit to lead, or to the making of such an appointment every year. There are, moreover, decided advan- tages in having leader at the start and knowing who he is. If it is necessary to de- pose him afterwards that can be done.

There was great deal more gas burned in the city of Philadelphia during the year 1881 than during the preceding year. It had been supposed, from the number of large establish ments into which electric lamps have been introduced, and from the remarkably large increase in the sales of kerosene lamps in the city, that the consumption of gas was rapidly diminishing. But the actual statistics show the converse of this proposition. This is en- couraging to holders of gas stock.

Obituary.
EDWIN W. sToUGHToN.

EDWIN w. STOUGHTON-
 Edwin w. Stoughton died at 2:2O o'clock Saturday afternoon at his residence, 9S Fifth avenue, New York city, of asthma of the heart, complicated by general debility. He was conscious to the end and died without pain.
 MT. Stoughton was born in Springfield, Windsor County, Vermont, on May l, ISIS, and attended as boy the local schools and 2 neighboring academy. At Is he went to New York city, and began to study the law. For few weeks he was in the office of Philo T. Ruggles, and left it to accept a clerkship, which would afford him means of support, with Seeley < Glover. While law student he wrote articles for Hunts Aerchants' Hdgd- zine In 1S4O he was admitted to the bar, and in the early years of his practice was a contributor to Park Benjsmin's paper, the Nel0 World.
 His law business increased steadily In 1946 he was successful in the Woodworth blaming mill case, in which he was opposed to Governor William H. Seward. He was subsequently, successful in other famous pat ent suits among them the Goodyear rubber case, Ross Winans agt. the Erie Railway com pany, and suits on the Wheeler & Wilson patents He was counsel for the Erie Rail- way company in the itigations of 1868, was one of Weeds counsel and was counsel for the stockholders in the recent Emma Mine litigation.
 In early life Mir. Stoughton took a warm interest in politics and cordially embraced the Democratic faith. During the war he was Union Democrat, but when Grants use of the army was harshly criticised he wrote and published long and elaborate de- fence of his policy and his action From that time he was a Republican. He was a warm personal friend of General Grant and all hls connection, and a liberal contributor to every fund started for their benefit When the Electoral Commission sat to de- ternine who was President, Mir Stougtton made forcible argument in favor of the pretensions of MT. Hayes, and shortly there after was sent Minister to Russia. There he comported himself with characteristic 1 dignity, sparing no expense of time or money to keep up the American end of diplomatic grandeur. He was a third term delegate to | the Chicago convention, and cordially sup ported MT. Conkling in every step taken. At one time he was disposed to kick over the traces and to join other well meaning men in springing the name of Roscoe Conkling upon l the convention, believing that it would be re- ceived cordially and adopted unanimously. 1 Mir. Stoughton was man of striking per sonal appearance, tall, broad shouldered and i straight. His face was always smoothly | shaven, and his white hair was long and i flowing. His was a we'll known figure il | New York society, and he took especia i pleasure in entertaining distinguished for 1 eigners who visited the city.

The friends of temperance will not be en- couraged by Rev Dr. Crosby's account of the attempts of the New York Society for the Prevention of Crime to regulate the liquor traffic. The society has thus far failed to &C., complish much The law under which it worked provided that liquor could be sold by the glass only in hotels, and the law defines a hotel as "a place containing three bed rooms, facilities for furnishing hot food, hay and straw for horses and register for guests" Now the hotels in New York which furnish hay and straw for horses are very scarce, and any attempt to- enforce such Q law was useless. The society tried to get the Legislature to pass bill that would work better and proposed one which would req sonably and practically regulate the liquor traffic, "but we were defeated" says Dr. Crosby, mot by the liquor interests, but by something on the statute books which had g stringent sound to law which could be en forced. The society is not, however, entire ly discouraged, and int ends to keep up the fight.

A Suggestion Concerning Our Small
 Coins.
 To the Editor Qf tue JOURNAL COURIER:
 I notice the superintendent of the United States mint has suggested a change in our small subsidiary coinage. There is no doubt the people are suffering great inconvenience from the needless variety and resemblance of some of the coins to others. All the variety of subsidiary coins necessary are the silver half and quarter dollar, the dime and half dime and nickel cent pieces, and it would be of much advantage if the cent piece could be of an oval or hexagon form, to readily distinguish it from other coins. It would be much better to dispense with alI other un- necessary coins. D. c. L.

1 General Devens took great interest ln the
 case and himself took part in the preparation
 and arguments in the case. The decision was
 against the Delaware practice, and Neal had to be tried again. This trial resulted about ! four weeks ago ir his acquittal, an event that has shaken the underpinning of politics in 1 Delaware, and the Democracy are sald to pc
 organizing to rebuke everybody who sane toned any of the proceedings by which the time right of Delaware Democrats to
 pack juries for the trial of negroes without
 restraint or interference could be abolished
 State Senator Fishburne who presided at
 the mass meeting held recently in Colleton
 county South Carolina, said in his opening
 speech: ''I am forced to cut loose from my
 old associations, to cut loose from all that
 my father recognized, all my grand father and
 great grandfather recognized, because the
 opposing party, the Democratic party of
 Carolina, desires to take away from us the
 right which is inherent in an American eitl-
 zen-the right to vote. There are great
 many laws passed and about to be passed,
 every single one of them taking away some
 right of a citizen of South Carolina, so that
 one will follow the other until when they get
 through they will give you nothing in Gods
 world but the right to die" The object of the meeting was primarily to protest against the stock and registration law, but platform for new party was drawn up acknowledg- ing the supremacy of the national govern ment; pledging the payment of the national and State debts; recommending the protec- tion of American industries, the revision Of the tariff laws, and economy in public ex- penditures; and saying: ''We must admit that the colored men have the. majority of votes in the State of South Carolina, and that their rights must not and shall not be ignored, and it needs nothing but the organ ization of the working class of white men and the colored men, as they would be large ly in the majority, to defeat any party or parties who desire to oppress either the one or the other. In other words, combined, the working class of white men and the colored men control the State. And we, the work ing class of white men and the colored men, propose to combine our efforts to defeat any party or parties who desire to take away any of our rights'' The opponents of the movement deny that this platform was adopted. Mir Fishburne asserts that while he was in Columbia he was approached by many of the most prominent Republicans In the State, who assured him that if he would initiate the movement they would canvass the State in its behalf, and bring to its sup port nearly the entire colored vote, and that he proposes to organize for the campaign of 1882 similar movements in every county.

The assessors of tue State of Massachusetts find that the law for the relief of property from double taxation which was passed last winter fails to work satisfactorily. It not only contains many defects, but it puts upon the assessors great deal of expensive labor in looking up mortgage records, and subjects them to great liability of assessing illegal taxes, the only remedy for which, when dis covered, would be the vexatious and expen. sive process of reassessment. The chairman of the board of assessors in Boston has drawn up long list of points in which the law is defective, and Q committee of assessors from the leading cities of the State has been ap- pointed to present the matter to the Legisla- ture and ask for instruction and relief It is quite likely that some material modification of the law will be made.

Cremation seems to be gaining favor in Europe. The clergy do not oppose it as strongly as formerly. The Protestant clergy in Gotha and in Munich, the Archbishop of Paris and the Bishop of Manchester have de- clared in favor of it.: The Roman Catholic priesthood in Italy does not oppose it. The Copenhagen Cremation society, which counts 2,OOO members, recently applied to the Gov ernment for permission to erect and operate a crematory in one of the suburban cemeter- ies; the application was strongly approved by the Board of Health.
