teruaster general making them $1,000 and
$500 respectively. The work in both these

mauds "A large share of the attention OF
the officers named.
The main feature of this mornings
session in the House was the announce
ment of the committees. From what
could be gathered by superficial inquiry
! the appointments seem in general to be
satisfactory. 1t Is not an easy task to sat
isfy 240 members, many OF whom not only
! want positions on particular committees,
! but desire a certasn place on committee.
The Craftsmanship of the general com
mittee is one of Importance; it is a com
! mittee before whom Will come blllS OF
| great public interest; the appointment of
| Hon Henry Ballard as its chairman is
| guarantee that measures passed upon by
! that committee will come therefrom
with such recommendation as may
be thoroughly relied upon in max
! ing final disposition by the House.
Mddlebury seems to have "corner" on
corporations. Last session that commit
tee had for chairman Col Knapp,
this. year that gentleman's successor, Mr..
| Eldredge, takes the same committee posi-
tion. Mr.. TuXbury of Windsor occupies
the same position as he did in the session
of 1854, on the States prison The com
mission appointed by Gov. Ormsbee OF
which Judge Ross was chairman, have
reported and the report will be referred
to the commltte who have charge OF the
education bill Nearly all the bills thus
far in reduced have emanated from Wind
sOr county.
