Committeo on Revision Is "belng broken down, hd the power of the Apptopriations Commiittco, Mestroyel. Somo of the best thinkers of the Vouse aro convinced that ‘these proposed +: changrs can only result in a greatly-incrensed expenditure of public moncy, and that If tho rules sini! finally bo adopted by tho House, even In the present fort, tho result will be that thera will bo four log-rofling committees instead of one, Already bave the Commiltec on Agriculture, the Committes on Publlo Hutttings and Grounds and the Conmittee on Commerce obtained te thority to control the ANpEC TINE for tho subjects included within. their Jurisdiction, and tho indications are that the movement has not yet stopped. Indeed, tho House adjourned con- eidering tho: most dangorous proposition which has yet heen minde, namely, to give the Commit~ tec on tho Mississipp! Levees: control of appro= printlons for the Improvements of tho Missis- sippl River and its tributaries. It happens that + Congress has not yet decided to enter upon this Hgantic system of bullding levees WHICH MAY CUST THR GOVERNMENT $00,000,000. That subject Is to bo determined acreafter, All that Congress thus far has dono §s to appoint a oonuniasion to mnke # report as to the practicability of such a scheme, yet tho Jouthern members dellborately proposed to-day: to oleyute this special cornmission un tho levecs: , tothe dignity of a commission which shall havo. . entire control of all ay peaprintions, not only for the Misstacippl River, but for every’ little atream, between tho western elope of the Alieghenys, the castern slopy of the Rocky Mount- mul tho northern boundary of the fed States. Could such a proposition he embodied in tho rules, It would, by indirece tion at lenst, commit Congress to tho levee syatem, and would givo the members of that Commitice a powerful {ntluence to secure their objecta by making It pus for them to re- uso appropriations for overy elver and harbor inthe Mlssissipp) Valley States, without the Nepresentatives from thesa States, in turn, mld agree that the levee shall be built, Tho new rules are being put in such condition by the Honse in Comimittee of the Whole that it fs Yery probablo that, when the report ia tinully noted upon by the House itself, some of the bad work will be undone. At presont, howover, every step taken has boon in tho direction of moking hirgely-Inercased expenditures not only possible but probable, THE OFFICES, MOUTON REJECTED, Spectat Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune, Wasutnaton, D.
