Perhaps the most important committee
authorized to sit during the recess wis the
joint Select Committee on Shipping Interests
Mr.. Page, OF Calf rnis, is promine ntly con-
nected with that committee. The members
have all been so much engaged in looking
after their personal interests during the cal
paign that preliminary meeting only was
held after The ADJOURNMENT of Congress, al
which series of questions was prepared to
be sent out 10 persons supposed to be com pc
tent TO answer them. Doubtless the answers
have been received during the interim and
briefed by the clerk. Beyond that the com,
mittee has done nothing. Those interested
in shipping in New York, however, have
recently met and drafted au outline OF The

GEN. GRANT.

The Committee on Military Affairs in the
House has no important subject left upon its
docket; but the troublesome question of the
early retirement OF Gen Graut is still resting
on the calendar. The Republican friends of
the measure in the House were not very
active in It's support, while the Democratic
opponents were weary, but watched every
opportunity TO prevent reaching the bill.
Gen. Grant has not SO many friends on the
Republican side as he once had, and there is
no probability that the bill will become a
law in this Congress, and it probably will not
be heard OF in the next. Some OF the Repub-
lican members OF the House Military Affairs
Committee, who have been its most earnest
advocates, will retire to private life with this
