The House Committees.

The stories which the special CORE
snondents send out from Washington
create the impression that Mr.. Carlisle is
having no end of trouble in making up his
committees. He is beset on all sides, say
these chronicles OF alleged events, by
friends of ambitious members who want
this or that place for their favorltes.
If this statement is true II SHOWS
pretty clearly that Mr. Carlisle
made no PROMISES before his election, and
that ne i now absolutely free to act for
the hest interests Of the country. 1t Is
Questionable. however, if such pressure
Is being brought to bear upon Mr.. Car
Isle as the correspondents would lead us
10 believe. NOdoubt sugga stions have been
made to him. and that these suggestions
have been received with his well known
courtesy. but he is not man to allow
himself to be pulled about and annoyed
by aspirants for his fayOrs. 1t may be
that Mr.. Cox and Mr.. Belmont both want
the Craftsmanship of the Foreign Affairs
Committee, and that Mr.. Tucker and Mr..
Hurd desire the Craftsmanship of the
Judiciary Committee. There may be
two OF three aspirants for the
Craftsmanship of the Ways and Means
Committee and as many more for that of
the Appropriations Committee. but It IS
not probable that Mr.. Carlisle VIII con-
suit the wishes of any of the aspirants.
II he did he would be unable to make up
the committees. He no doubt has
taken into his confidence two or
three Of his trusted friends, and
with their advice and help he
will form the committees solely with
view 10 the fitness Of the members for the
special work Of which they will have
charge. The general opinion seems to be
that Mr.. Morrison Will be Chairman Of the
WAYS and Means Committee. If this
opinion proves TO be correct, the country
ought TO be satisfied. There is not an
ADLER or a safer man in Congress. He
filled that position several years
ago satisfactorily, and his abili-
ties are more mature, his Judgment
riner and his experience greater now
than then. 1t Is not improbable that Mr..
Tucker Will be Chairman Of the Judiciary
Committee. Could there be better Sc
/ Icctions He is a statesman with ma
ti0nal reputation. As for his quail
fcations. nobody will question them.
If Mr.. Cox is placed at the head of the
/ Foreign Affairs Committee it viii be be-
! cause he is the man for the place. Mr..
Belmont may have aspirations in that di-
rection. but his merit is not equal to that Of
/ Mr.. Cox. If either Mr.. Randall or Mr..
Blackburn shall be given the first place
on the Appropriations Committee nobody
| can complain. They have records as leg
/ isIators which entitle them to any place.
/ When the committees are announced it is
doubtful if the disappointment and dissat-
isfaction now predicted will exist. The
! fairness and Judgment Of the Speaker will
/ be so generally recognized that his work
will not occasion much, if any, murmur-

The City Extension.

The extension Of the city limits south of
Anderson streets attracting considerable
attention. 1t is proposed to make larger
blocks or squares and a smaller number
Of streets and lanes, in proportion to the
area covered, than in the older part of the
city. This will give an opportunity to
those who can afford il to have more eX-
Uensve grounds than the present plan of
the city permits.
1t has been suggested thatnow is good
time 20 make an improvement in desig-
mating streets. Several of the cross
streets south Of Anderson street are now
designated by numbers, such as First
avenue. Second avenue. etc. This plan
could be adopted from New Houston
street, making that First avenue, as there
is a street called Houston street. The
plan of the streets south of Anderson
street will very nearly conform to those
between the Park extension and that
street.

Since the rejection by the Legislature
of South Carolina Of the proposed bill to
allow the granting Of divorces in that
State, attention is called to the fact that
she is the only State in the Union which
is without a divorce law. From the for
nation Of the government no law author
izing divorces appeared upon her statute
books up 30 1865, when one was passed by
the Republicans. This was repealed in
1877, when the Democrats again came
