II would be a sheer possibility to please
everybody, and of course many members
were far from being happy. Six or seven
lawyers each expected to head the Judi
ciary, and as many fnanciers fattered
themselves they would preside over the de.
alterations Of the Finance Committee; and
so it went. Delegate Robertson, of this
county, wanted on Penitentiary aud Mines
and Mining, and his friends are much put
ont at his failure to be there. Delegate
Myles wanted on Arts, Sciences and Gen
eral Improvement, and various others
wanted places they did not get. Some Of
them may yet be happy, as additions are
frequently made.
