In GOES without saying that Speaker
Carlisle will make up his committees
carefully and conscicntiously, and with
due regard to the public interests, The
knowledge of this fact gives the friends
of Mr.. Townshend of Illinois encour-
agement to believe that he will be
given the chairmanship of the Commit
tee on Postofllces and Postroads. In
deed, there seems to be no active,
certainly no aggressive, competition
for this highly responsible place.

LONDON, Feb. S.-Sheikh Jemal-ed-Din,
a well known Mohammedan agent at New
Paris, has been interviewed on the Sou
dqnese rebellion. He thinks Gordon still
alive, but if dead that he fell fighting. The
mahdi, he says. would respect Gen. Gordon
as a prisoner, and might be willing to open
negotiation for the exchange of Gen. Gordon
for Arab Pasha, whom the Mahdi
honors as a true servant in the cause of
Mohammed. The mahdi might make a partial
peace with with the English. but never a per-
manent peace. He would refuse to accept
the title of vceroy, or any other title, fro m
the khedive or from the sultan, but would
remain the mahdi. He aimed at the con-
quest of the Soudan, and hoped a rising
would take place in Arabia against the
Turks.
