In the organization Of the Committees The
Speaker has given general sati isfaction 10 all
parties Ii was expected that the Committee
ol WAYS and Means, and OF Foreign Affairs,
would be given 10 the Administration. This
was right under The circumstances. The
Administration arc responsible for the great
measures of Government, and our negotiations
with foreign countries. Opposition maJoritles
on those Committees might have produced
only embarrassment, as their business IS
more intimately related 10 the Executive than
that OF most others


The Committees on public expenditures OF
all sorts are decidedly favorable 10 the people
They are all Of the Opposition, and will hold
the Government To strict accounts and eco
nomical habits.


OF the ihirty-,hree Committees appointed
by the Speaker, t,renty-two have Wing
chairmen. Last year under the oco-ioco adj
minis,ra,ion of Mr. Polk, it was just the re-
verse


We agree with the Globe thai the Speaker
has 'dlscharged MS trust win great ndelty
TO all the principles which should have gov
crned his selection The Speaker has
doubtless been fortunate in his appointments,
and the Republican opposition have been for
ttnac in their election Of Speaker. The
democracy of tho country may be congratu-
lated upon having at last the power Of holding

and open responsibility.
