Mc. Banks declared he had given no pledges to any one whatever, on any subject in con nection with the formation of the committees, if he should be made the Speaker. Mr. A. K Marshall asked Mr Millward whether he did not know that pledges so to construct particular committees as to protect the interests of Penusylvanis, had been made on behalf of Mr. Banks. Mr Millward answered in tho affirmative iving Messrs. Pearce and Covode (the latter faieg now ab.out) as those members who had given him those assurances. Mr. Pearce denied having done so. the Board consisted of any other officers, they would Lave been assailed for their recommen- dations precisely as these gentlemen have been. We do not believe that every gentle- man who has been removed from active ser- vies, in pursuance of their recommendations, should have been so removed; that is, that their action was in all cases perfect, beyond and above the possibility of successful criti- cism As a whole, however, they have cer- tainly benefited the service materially by what they have done, and also the general Public interest; and we do not believe it pos- sible that a different board of officers could have more faithfully and properly discharged the trying and disagreeable duties assigned to them, of course without their own knowledge or solicitation direct or indirect to that end.
