 "IIoE. CHESTER AsHLEY-CuArRarAN OF THE JgpfcrARY.-Ihe New Orleans TToplc, ih speaE- of the Senate committees, has the following par aaIaph about the appointment of the chairman oi tie Judiciary. To all sensible people, It aoes 4A- ssaf ar M MF Dallas intends as joke the placing of Mr. Ashley from Arkansas, at the head oi me J 9- dietary. WIth Webster and Berrien as his InmoLs' we suppose 4ge must langh with him, thoagi fe3iiy 8e cannot consider this proper suhJect Tor te ois- play ot his Wagsary,
