Dun Gannon—The anxiety about
the house committees was appeased by
their prompt announcement on Monday.
' Al was expected to be the case, the south
preponderates in the important places,
and practically. the south and west have
the control of legislation in so far as the
business before Congress is to be shaped
by the committees. Among those who
feel that they have been most outrageous.
ly treated,'are Cox, of N. Y., Springer,
of Ills., and Blackburn, of Ky. As to
the latter, it is claimed that the speaker
intends to do better by Blackburn, bye
and bye on some special committee. Mean-
time these three stirring patriots, with
many others more less demonstrative over
the disappointments, growl and eulk, and
we are. sorry to add, “swear” over Car-
lisle’s ingratitude. Cox, no doubt has
the best reason for being mad through
and through. His exceptionallylcng ser-
vice and prominence in the House. his
being a representative from the first com-
mercial city of the Nation and his having
been so prominently madcacompetitor
in the race for the speakership, should
have won for him, the place he was well
known to have particularly desired that
of Foreign Relations, even though so
prominent a diplomat as Gov. Curtin had
been given another place. But taking
all the combinations of all the committees
as a whole, they are far better in compo-
sition than even most conservative demo-
crats seemedto apprehend. ' If the great
state of New York has good reason to
3 claim being slighted, gallant little Con-
necticut has fared exceedingly well. In~
deed, it may be said that we have been
cxtrsordinarly fortunate, in view of the
fact that the three members from our
state opposed Carlisle’s nomination in
their party caucus. Jmige VanAlstyne,
of Albany, by common consent, should
have been assigned the place given to
Dorsheimer, on the judiciary. He has.
been on the bench for many years and if,
an able, experienced and fair-mindjd
jurist, and his being put way dowwop
the list, on the Committee on Claim’s, is
creditable to him in the respect t it is
an evidence that he was too , ,ch of a
man and too self-respecting to be standing
about the speaker, hat and, as so
many of his democratic ciates were,
begging for the com . eeship prizes.
anner, of Ga., has the chairmanship of
the first Committee. on .Elections, and
Morrison, of 10., Ways and Means, and
Randall, of Pa, Appropriations. Ran-
dall should have been given Morrison’s
place at the head of Ways and Means, but
as this is the Tariff Committee of the
House, and Randall is a Pennsylvania
protectionist, he could not be trusted there
although it wrld certainly have proved
a partisan , lvantage to the democratic
party had h lueen put at its head where
he so clearly belonged. But it was a hard
game of chess the speaker had to play, in
asserting afid locating between‘thrcc and
four hundred men, and all worthy, iu the
eye of the law, to be members of the
American Congress. Regan, of Texas,
has the chairmanship of Commerce, which
should have been given some New York
me er. On this important committee,
2. Seymour of our district is placed,
_ gird he will make a capable and efilcient
morking member thereof. Mr. Seymour
is also on Civil Service Reform. Willis,
of Ky., has Rivers and Harbors. Hatch,
of Mo., Agriculture, and Curtin, of Pa.,
Foreign Relations. On this committee is
Col. Waite, the “lone star of republican-
ism” from Connecticut, in, the present
House. He is in royally good company
on this committee. Gen. Curtin was
not only the war governor of Pennsylva-
his, but subsequently ~our Minister to
Russia, and below the colonel on the
committee is Phelps, of New Jersey, late
United States Minister to Austria, and
Col. Hitt, of 10., who was formerly our
first secretary-of Legation at Paris, and at
one time acting Minister to the Russian
court and then under Sec. Blaine, during
the Garfield Administration, recalled from
Paris to take the portfolio of Assistant
Secretary of State here, and withall one
of the brightest and most accomplished of
all American diplomats. On such a
prominent committee and with each per
sonai surroundings, Col. Waite can afford
to call the “honors easy,” but this is not
all the speaker has done for him in the
way of honor and responsibility. He has
placed the Col. on the far more and im-
portant "Committee on Law Respecting
Election of President and Vice President"
of which our tax-Senator and now Repre-
sentative W. W. Eaton is chairman. With
two such clearoheaded and honest-hearted
and fair men as Eaton and Wait, who are
also proverbial here for their industry,
some sensible and good law may confi-
dently be expected from this committee
to meet the universal demand for reme-
dial legislation in regard to our present
defective modes of electing our two high- .

sincerely to be congratulated upon having
this grave' question in hands so able and
so desirous of doing the best thing for the :
country in this matter. rather than the
best‘thing for either party. Mr. Mitchell
is placed on the. Committee of Patents
which will prove a desirable and pleasant
place for him, inasmuch as it will give
him frequent opportunities to do kind acts
of consideration and courtesy to the many
Connecticut inventors, who seek redress
for real 'and fancied wrongs, under the
operations of our very imperfect patent
system. Mr. Mitchell is also on the less
important Committee on Manufactures.
Mr. Vance, of North Carolina, has the
chairmanship of the Patent Ctmmittee
as he had the last time the democrats held
a majority in the House. He is gener-
ously disposed towards the inventoreof ,
the country and always seeks to promote
their interests and befriend them when-
ever his action is justified by his grearrr
duty to the whole people. For a southern
man he is exceedingly liberal in his views
and action with reference to the whole
subject of patents.
DEATH a'r 'rnn osrrror.
The death of Hon. Dudley C. Haskell
of the Second Kansas District, still leaves
its gloom and deep sense of almost lrrepa—
rable loss all about the Capitol. Almost.
hourly, expressions of sincerest regret and
sorrow are heard at the sudden demise of
this able and true man. By very many
he was deemed the ablest, clearest-
headcd and safest leader on the republi—
can sidb in Congress. The congressional
committee who accompanied his remains
to their far distant Western eepulchre, say
that the bidding adieu to his widow and
little children on their departure from
Lawrence. was one of the most pathetic
and touching incidents within their ex-
perience. Since the death of Mr. Haskell
the wife of General Rosecrans, the repre—
sentative from San Francisco, has died in
city. She is reported to have been a
. of most excellent qualities us‘wife,
her and friend, and as lovely in her
llties of head and heart as in her
proverbial personal grace and beauty.
Yesterday the announcement of the death
of Major Gen. Humphreys startled and
saddened the residents of the city. He
was a most‘cnnspicuons officer of engineers
during the war, and was Gen. Mcad's
chief of staff at Gettysburg and to the end
of the war. He was as courteous and
affable as he was honest and brave and to
him, the writer was under many obliga-
tions for personal favors, while pursuing
his avocation as journalistic reporter, dur. 3
ing and since the late war. The General
was Well known to many of our patriotic
Connecticut soldiers and will be remem-
bered by them with grateful recollection. 5

Mr. William Hunter, second assistant
secretary of state, celebrated his fifty-
third Christmas day in the continuous
diplomatic service of the government.
His room was made a rallying point on
Christmas and was throngcd by all, from
the secretary of state to the messengers
and porters, in congratulation of Mr,
Hunter’s hale and hearty entrance on a
fifty~fourth year of useful service. The
genial old gentleman seemed much affect-

New Year's Oslls.
The observance of New Year’s day in
the way of making and receiving calls
has become less marked in Norwalk for
several seasons past, and it is evi-
ident that the custom is gradually
falling into disuse. This is not wholly due
to overdoing the custom nor to the en-
largement of the circle of society'; but, in
a degree, to the great formality which too
often characterizes the custom and which
makes calling to persons possessed of
numerous acquaintances a vexatious rather
thauapleasant duty. If there was less
conventionality. allowing greater freedom
in the matter of dress and speech, the
observance would be more hearty and
universal, and the day, which has
degenerated into one of dullness and
comparative gloom", would become a day
of merriment and enjoyment. The cus-
tom is a pleasant one, and its advantages
many. It enables gentlemen of little
leisure to repay in an enjoyable way the
social obligations of the year, and ladies
to entertain their friends whom circum-
stances might prevent their seeing at
other times. .
The Princess Ohuck.
The Princess Chuck, the new play in
which Miss Lizzie Harold has made a
decided hit, and which will be given at
thoOpera House, Thursday evening. is
very strong, full of comedy, and inter-
esting to the very last. The story never
lags, the situations are good, and the
climaxes well wrought, while the speci-
alties introduced are of the most taking
character. Miss Harold. it is said, bids
fair to make a new creation for the lyric
drama, [and a distinct place for herself
among the heroines of dramatic fable
land. The Cincinnati Commercial Ga-
zette says: “Princess Chuck is a success or
was is endorsed by an immense audience
at Harlin's Theatre, last evening; while
the little heroine, Lizzie Harold, was
made the recipient of such applause as is
seldom bestowed upon other than the
i
most deserving.”
“Glear Grit. "
l The lecture :on "Clear Grit” by Robert
; Collycr, a man whose life reads like a
romance, and who is himself one of the
. mostgeniai, witty, and eloquent of men,
i will certainly attract the attention of
{every intelligent person in Norwalk.
E His reputation in lthe pulpit:and upon the
3 platform, is world-wide.
He is loved nlikc by the old world and
the new, and stands a mountain peak
among the men of our time. We are
rarely favored with an event so univers-
ally interesting and pleasing as this
famous lecture by a famous man. The
people of our town will doubless give him
a cordial welcome next Monday evening
at the Congregational church, South
Norwalk.
The Tobacco Growers.
The most important interest ,to be
considered at the annual meeting of the
New England Tobacco Growers' associ-
ation, which will occur at Hartford
to-day, will be the securipg of protection
from importers of Sumatra tobacco, who
are doing a vast amount of damage to the
seed leaf tobacco interests throughout the
country. The question of sending a
delegation lo Washington in the interest
of the New England association will be
pressed by the members. Petitions will
be sent to congressmen asking their
immediate consideration of the subject,
and united action in resisting the threat-
ened destruction of the native tobacco
intercsts.

A Healthy Exhibit.
From the census report it appears that
Connecticut, which ranks twenty-eighth
in population, stands thirty-second In
number of farms, twenty-second in aggre-
gate valus of farms, and thirty-first in
aggregate value of products. In the
number of her manufacturing establish-
ments she ranks sixteenth; in capital,
sixth; and in value of produrts, seventh
In 1870 she had 5,188 establishments with
invested capital of $95,281,278; hands
employed, 89,523; wages paid, 838.987,
187; value of material used, 886,419,579;

mint then, but there was a private one at
Newburgh, and the motto of the United
States was first put on a copper coin
struck at that mint. A very few collec-
tions have specimens of this coin. They
are very valuable. In 1787 a goldsrnith
named Brasher coined a piece which was
known as the sixteen—dollar gold piece,
and the motto placed in this form, “Unnm
E Pluribus," was stamped upon it. The
coin is worth to-day $2,000, and only
four are known to be in existence. In
1787 the motto also appeared on various
copper coins of the State of New Jersey.
A great many of our early coins, before
there was any legalfiautbority for national
coinage here, were made in England. The
State of Kentucky had some peculiar
copper coins which were minted in Eng-
land in 1791, and bore the national motto.
The United States mint was established in
1792, but the use of the motto on any of
the gold, silver, or copper coins was not
authorized or directed by any of the pro
visions of the act establishing if. The
motto had not appeared on any of our
coins since 1837, until the standard dollar
was coined. It remained on our early
gold and silver coins until 1834, when it
was omittéd from the gold coins. In
1836 it was dropped from the 26-cent
piece and theflfollowlng :year from all
silver coins.

undoubted case of "God-send.” The amel-
Cream Balm, however, “has been weighed in'
sovereign, speedy, certain, and pleasant
cure for catarrh, and cold in the head.
Thousands of persons have attested this fact.
“Ely’s Cream Balm is a god-send” wrote
Mrs. M. A. Jackson, of Portsmouth, N. H.,
on May 22d, 1883. “I had catarrh for .there
years, rad fried near-1v all remedies, but to
pose. Two or three times a. week my
ould bleed quite freely, and I thought
‘ es in it would never heal. Your balm

ader, afford to experiment with inju-
s minds and injectio when a pleasant and
rtain cure is at band.
