P1tt5burS Be5Semer Steel company against L f.
Hinckley and Geo. W. Cathrsn, Chicago, to-
day argued before Justice Harlan In chambers,
there was I. point of some interest to the legal
profession. Under the United States revised
statutes, q, 007) where party wishes to review
to the supreme court a common law for Jadg-
ment Of the United States circuit court, and at
the same time stay all proceedings penang TIE
writ of error, he IS required to sue out and have
served VIII OF error and file bonds for costs
within sixty days from the entry OF Judgment,
and where q wiz is issued and served, and
where the bo7ds for costs fled within sixty
DAYS a slre-se,ioas bond may be filed after the
s;xty DAYS by permission Of Justice OF the
supreme court. In this case ewrit of error was
sued out and served, and bords for costs fled,
ard application Is now made TO Judge Harlan
for permission 10 file a supersedeas bond after
the sixty days, and the question is now raised
for the irst tine IN this court whether in com
putting the sixty days the day or which the judg-
ment was entered was Incl, ded OF excluded.
Mr. Larned, few days ago, argued fer the
former, and Nr. Capron to-day argued for
the latte. The justice will decide the case in
accordance with the rule that prevails IN Hi
nois, which IS understood to be IL favor Of ez-
cludiLg tbs day.
THE FREs CH COLONY.
The attention Of the public has occasionally
been called to the French colony that has had
possession OF the modelling room N the office
of the supervising architect of the treasury.
Nearly all the persons employed have been
Frenchmen who spoke only their own language,
probably retained their foreign citizens hip,
deridel the United States, guyed enc of their
number, who so far forgot himself as to get nat
do 10 hot F,,r
can who was not remarkably thick skinned, ard
finally did very little work and did that when
they pleased Mr.. Bell discovered this Gallo
colony soon after he became supervising archi-
tect, but ne did not care TO make changes rashly,
SO ne contented himself with notifying the
Freuchmen to spend less time talking and more
working, and occasionally visited the room to
see how things getting along.
Evidently they did not get on we'll.
The Frenchmen would not abandon their old
privileges, and the new chief failed to close his
eyes and ears to their performances, so to-day
six OF them were dismissed. The modelling Will
be done hereafter in plain United States, and
the.e viii be more Of it and less sociability.
HR. cARLIsLE's COMMITTEES.
The actual feeling of a portion of the Demo
cratic representation in reference to Mr.. Gar
sation with the GLOBE correspondent to-day by
q Democratic leader and warm supporter Of
Mr. Carlisle Il the recent speakership contest.
He received the assignment that he desired, and
his opinions are interesting although he does not
wish to have his name mentioned because she
hopes without good reason,' as he says, 'ithat he
may be mistaken IN his present judgment OF the
committee and the outlook" The drift of MS
comment was that it looks as though the CO m
mittes that will have control of the reforms
that this congress was expected to inaugurate
have been fram=d, as they were when Mr.. Ran
dali was speaker, FOR tho express purpose of
preventing the Accomplishment of these reforms.
The very object Of these representatives, he
snid, who Ipporte NJ. Carlisle was to avoid
this condition of things, but SO far as we can see
now the hope of the country viii be disappoint-
ed. Tie tariff was to be revised upon revenue
basis, but we are given q committee
having among tho N mbers two presidential
Candidates aud three out OF eight Democratic
members in favor of Incidental prot sction
What sort of a revision of the tariff upon rev.
erue basis can We expect from q committee,
tive Of whom protectionists AID three for in
c!Gental protection, and only five revenue tariff
men. Does not every body know that Mr..
Hewitt is a manufacturer and IN syn psthy with
the favored class, and that he wants to let raw
material come in free, or at nominal rate only,
because that would increase the cost OF manu-
tactures: By the time Merriam and Hewitt get
through swallowing each other In that commit
tee it viii be hard to tell which
has tho most snake in his body
When man 3ets the presidential bee
in his bonnet he is not III to legislate for
the interest of the of the peo-
pie. The com cree committee So far as can be
seen now is as bad as Randall or Kelfer appoint
ed 1t may BE- mistake in judgment in the
men, for nearly all of them new men, but
the list appears on its face to comprise ma
jority who are unfavorable to any legislat on
looking to the regulation of Interstate com
merce. Mr.. Reagan is at the head of the com
mittee, but will be without competent support
uoon the floor, even if a majority
of the committee could be persuaded
to report practical inter-sta commerce bill.
The committee on public lands IS likely to bring
forth something definite with regard to the
question of land grants, but neither the bank
ing and currency nor the coinage committee is
made up III way to give promise that they viii
deal with the national banks, currency and the
silver questions, u, the bulk Of the Democratic
party expected of this congress.
If Nj. Carlisle is opposed to
reforms on the leading questions which this
congress was elected to inaugurate, he ought to
have said so before We made him speaker, sd If
It should turn out, as have cause to fear, that
have been picked TO prevent dec sive legislatv
reforms, there viii certainly be the devil to pay
in the house, for maj ority o. this congress are
anxious to take q bold and manly stand on the
leading questions of the dsy, and..they are not
willing to be baked by sry set of men who may
happen TO be in the lead.
wAshBURN ON IRE COMMITTEES
'iCarlisle's coamittses," said Congressman
W. D. Washburn, of Minnesota, to day. give
more general satisfaction than those OF many
preceding congresses. They are certainly more
satisfactory than those of Keifer. The COM
m;tiess of the present house were chosen with a
great deal of care, and no anal amount of
time was spent in makit equitable distri-
bqtion. The same name does not appear in
more than two or three committees. If man
is on an impori ant committee he Is
seldom on any other at all.
The distribution was certainly marvel of inge-
nuity and arrangement compared with that of
the preceding congress-"

''Yery naturally. His arrangement was a
most infamous oue. Pennsylvania had four

York mad none. Some men we1e two three
