Now, no one can honestly say that the
money appropriated for the foregoing pur-

revenue. If we compare the revenue re-

WASHINGTON, January 1.-The
most interesting and important feature
Of the present week in the House will
be, Of course, the announcement Of the
membership of the various committees
which will formulate the work to be
done by the forty-ninth Congress.
Throughout the holiday recess Speaker
Carlisle has been busily engaged in
forming the committees, and to-day
be occupied one of the rooms at
the Capitol and, denying himself to
all callers, devoted himself to the COM
pletion of his task. Unless something
unforeseen should happen the result OF
his labors will be announced to the
House tomorrow Immediately after
the reading of the journal. Then, in
obedience to an order Of the House, a
call Of States for the introduction Of
bills and resolutions will be resumed
at the point where it was interrupted
by the adjournment for the holidays.
The call will probably not be COM
pleied until late Wednesday afternoon.
The l,004 bills introduced the day
before the recess were introduced by
eighty.nine members-an average Of
over eleven bills to each representative.
Should this average be kept up, nearly
300 additional measures will be referred
on Tuesday and Wednesday to the
rewly-appointed committees.
The Hoar OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES bill
remains upon the Speakers table, and
though an attempt will be made to pass
it by unanimous consent, it will in all
likelihood be referred to the committee
having jurisdiction over its subject
matter. Should this be done the House
will find itself on Thursday without any
business before it, and an adjournment
until Monday will probably be taken to
enable the committees to organize and to
consider and report proposed legisla-
ton.
The bill to fix the salaries of the
Judges of district courts and the resolu-
ton of inquiry with regard to the action
of the authorities Of Dakota are the I'M
finished business of the Senate. The
committees of that body are expected to
begin work in earnest during the week,
and it is expected that not much legis-
lative work will be undertaken in the
Senate other than the consideration of
the two measures named. Probably a
large part of the time of the Senate will
be spent with closed doors in an en-
deavor to dispose of the great number
Of accumulated nominations.

JANUARY 4, 1856.
To-day our new judge, John NJ.
White. presided over the County Court.
Judge Taylor retires with the goodwill
Of the bar and of the people.
1t transpires that Benton, the forger,
is an old offender. Captain Woods,
Commonwealth attorney, received
from the attorney for Queen Anne
county, Maryland, on Saturday a re-
quest that if the evidence against the &C
cuSed was not strong enough to convict
him he be held for the authorities of
Maryland, as he is evidently the man
who victimized the Queen Anne Ma
tional Bank of Centreville last October
by exactly the same ruse as that by
which the bank of Albemarle was swim
died. Benton registered at the Relay
House as Charles Freyer. While in
Centreville he introduced himself as
Matthew Freyer. The description sent
by the Maryland lawyer of the Centre
Vile swindler IS exactly that of Benton.
In the several cases in which he is
known to have swindled or attempted
to swindle, he has made ministers of
the Gospel his victims.
The excellent weather of the past two
weeks has given place TO "spell " of
rain, and this section Of the State has
been drenchcd by an almost continuous
fall Of rain during the past twenty-four
hours. QUIP.
