MIR. RandaIrs Record

The scattering of the appropri-
alton bills among a half dozen COM
mittees at the beginning of the pres
ent Congress does not appear to have had
the effect of getting them before the House
sooner than when one committee had
charge OF all of them. The sundry civil
bill, which the conference committee has
been wrangllng over for several DAYS,
could have been before the House month
earlier than it was just as we'll as not.
Mr. Randall, who has charge of it, Is re-
sponsible Tor the delay in reporting the
bill from the Appropriations Committee.
His aim seems to have been to convince
the House that by taking some OF the APP
preparation bills away from the Appro-
priations Committee nothing was gained.
The House is rather disposed to be out
of patience with Mr.. Randall. There are
members who do not hesitate to say that
the course he has pursued with respect TO
the bills under mis- charge will not have
the effect Of putting all the appropriation
bills back into the possession of the Com
mittee on Appropriations, but will tend
rather to create a sentiment in favor of
still further reducing the power of the
Committee on Appropriations. In fact,
there are Democratic leaders who think it
might be advisable to put some one else
than Mr.. Randall at the head OF the APP
preparations Committee. Mr.. Randall has
certainly not increased his influence and
popularity as a Democratic leader during
this session of Congress.

1t is stated that an expedition is being
organized in Australia to hunt for the
South pole. In this country the South
pole has not been considered worth dis
covering, but there seems to be no reason
why it is not as valuable, scientifically
and intrinsically, as the North pole
Either pole would bring a good, round
sum if worked up into watch charms an d

In the event of a war between this coun-

provided, of course, they should not be
captured by the Mexicans. IL may be
pure patriotism, however, that makes the
Texans so anxious for war.

A Mrs. Everett, OF Milwaukee, claims
to have been at one time the wife of Edi-
ltor Cutting of Ell Paso del Norte. She
informed a reporter the other day that
Cutting halls from Clinton, Mich, where
he was printer, but that he was in the
Confederate army and deserted Just before
the end Of the war, going to Toledo, where
he married. She says: The union prov
ed an unhappy one, he being a drunkard
ana lazy. Not willing to support him his
wife showed him the door and he dlsap-
peared. somewhere out West he pro-
cured divorce and she aftorward mar
ried happily" The lady appears TO be
somewhat prejudlced against Cutting,
and her statement may be taken with a
large grain Of salt.

VIM. II. Fl. Smith, the colored Libra
rian of the House, appears to be appre-
clated to a much greater extent by Con-
gressmen than is good for his interests a t
present. 1t is thought that the President
would nominate him for Register of Deeds
for the District of Columbia if Congress.
men would indOrse him, but he cannot
get Congressman to indOrse him. The
reason is that they don't want him to
leave MS present position. He has been
Librarian of the House for nearly 30
years. His present salary is s.. 250 aud
the Income of the office of Register of
Deeds is about $1,000. In 1875 when the
Democrats got control of the House
Smith was discharged, but he was put
back in a few weeks because no one could
be found who could ill the place accept
ably. lie is a remarkable man in some re-
spects. When a member is engaged IN
debate and wants to quote az authority,
he sends page to Mr.. Smith, who is al
ways able to furnish it in a very few min
utes, as he is not only familiar with the
titles, but the contents of the books under
his charge, and only needs to know the
subject under discussion to be able to fur
nish all the existing authorities at mo-
menps notice.
