Washington, Aug. 4.-Nearly every
CONGRESSMAN has come to Washington
with his head full of ideas and chip on
his shoulder. It looks as if there might
he bad row in the Democratic party
over the House chairmanships. There is
no longer a probability that the Sherman
law can be repealed Immediately, or with
ont a bitter contest. The leaders of the
democracy are nearly all in the city now.
Massrs Springer, Holman and Bland
have arrived, and by tonight the major
;tv Of their followers will have reached
washington in readiness for the opening
of the session. As the members come in
there are rumors of growing dissatisfac-
ton with the plan decided upon by
Speaker Crisp, of deposing Messrs.
Springer and Holman from the chair
manships of the ways and means and ap-
propriation committees. The growl,
though not very deep nor very loud, is
plainly heard, and there is a strong
probability of its growing in intensity.
oFA SECTIONAL NATURE.
The dissatisfaction exists only among
the northern and northeastern members,
and it is purely of a sectional character.
- fo 1naf ff1eA ffsil c
of the two gentlemen threatened with
deposition are calling attention to what
they declare is an apparent purpose to
place the entire organization of'the House
In the hands of the southern states.
THIS sectional view of the situation IS
being disseminated with the ideakO arOus-
ing sentiment to such a degree that both
Mr. Springer and Mr.. Holman may be
kept at the head of the committees over
which they presided during the last
congress.
THE DOOR KEEPERsHIP.
The fight for the place of door keeper
has developed little beyond the fact
that all the Office candidates running are
weak men Mr.. Turner, the ex-door
keeper, has lost control of his New York
people and his boom threatens to collapse
before the House can assemble. If he gets
writer, will stand the best show.
THE BRUNSWICK BANK.
The controller of the currency decided
to-day to permit the creditors and depos-
itors of the closed First National Bank at
Brunswick to assign their claims to a
new concern to be opened and operated
under a state charter, provided that salts
factory evidence is produced at the de-
partment showing that creditors and de
positors are fully satisfied. The con
troller also decides that the new bank
can by a vote of the shareholders of the
closed bank constitute it a lqui-
datig agent and as such it
can assume charge of all the assets and
liabilities of the closed bank, discharge
its receiver, and utilize its assets to dis
charge its debts, or to increase the capital
stock Of the new bank. Mr.. Kay of
Brunswick has worked earnestly for the
plan, which he said to-day has received
reimbursement of some of New York s
oldest financiers. This decision of the
controller, Mr.. Kay declares, marks a
new era in the work of reorganizing closed
banks, and the ruling will excite wide
spread comment.

ceived place in the census office.
