Nominations by the President and Confirma- lions by the Senate, —_———_—— THE NEW YORK APPOINTMENTS. FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT, Wasaixcton, Oct, 29, 1877, SPEAKER RANDALL'S COMMITTEES AND WHAT THEY INDICATE—A MOVEMENT FOR THE EX- TENSION OF OUR FORKIGN COMMERCE. The great excitement in tho House is over. Tho Committers are announced, and, a8 18 usual, and per- baps inevitable, a certain number of round men find themeelves in square holes, aud there ts some diseatis- faction; but, on the wholo, Mr. Randall's work 18 ap proved. tis seen that ho has givon a sound direction to legislation, at the same time that he bas mot attempted to forestall or choke off the opinion of the House. The diverge senti- Mente acd positive men brought together in the Banking and Curroncy Committee cause asmilc and a genorai wish that this committee might deliberate in public. Tho Wavs and Means is regarded as favorable to a careful revision and simplification of tho tanff, aod it is already evident in the House that this work will bo pasbed by manufacturers into the direct purpose of opening tho doors toran oxtension cf ‘foreign commefoe, ‘There ure several manulac- ‘turers in the Houso and most of them strongly urge this measure, Mr, Peddie, repre- “senting the Nowark district in New Jersey, and Dimself a mavufacturer, Introduced to-day a will to establish o department or bureau of commerce, with the object of “promoting and encouraging our “foreign trade by the opening of new markets for our Manufactures by treaty and otherwise.” Mr. Peddio ts understood to say that tbe manufacturers of Nowark can now produce on an average about three times os much og they can sell, and they most be heiped to establish a foreign trade, Mr, Wood, by the way, means to have competent clerical help intho Ways and Means, Heo to-day appointea Mr, William Homphill Jones clerk of the committes, Mr. Jones has been for nearly twenty years chiof clerk to the Comptroiler of the Treasury | gud Deputy Comptrolier, 1s aman of marked ability and high charactor, and will bring to tts work thor- ough familiarity with the most practical sides of the Measures which tie committee will have to prepare. THE VINST CALL OF STATES-EVIDENCES UF BUSINESS, This day witnessed tho first call of States this ses- sion, and the Speaker went through tho entire lst of States, which is seldom done. About nine bundred bills wero introduced, most of them private bills or relating to matters of no general importance ; but the character of the public bills presented and reforred shows that members have been thinking of the ma- terial interests of the country during the summer, ‘and, on the whole, there 1s a prospect of an uacom. monly usetul and important session, FROM OUR a REGULAR CORRESPONDENT, Wasuixcroy, Oct, 29, 1877. COMPLEXION OF THE MOST IMPORTANT THREE COMMITTEES, The three most important committees—namely, thoso on Ways and Moans, Banking and Currency and Pacific Rallroads, havo been formed with reference to the sev- tral public intereste, as follows:—The Ways and Means Committee comprises nine simple rovenue sari! men—namely, Messrs. Wood, Tucker, Sayler, Robbins, Harris, Gibson, Phoips, Garfield and Bur- chard, and two protectionists, Messrs. Kelley and Banks, The Banking and Currency Committee is made up of seven soft movey and four hard money mon, but the soft money aro sub-divided into the moderate kind, like the chairman, Mr. Buckner, the extrome Inflationists like Genoral Ewing and the silver rem6n- etizutionists, Following the goneral distinction of bard and soft monoy men, the former are Mossrs, Hardenvorg, Hart, Eames and Chittenden, and the latter Messrs, Buckner, Ewing, Yeates, Hartzell, Bell, . Fort and Phiilips. The Pacific Railroad Committee, which bas thirteen membors, is made up of seven opposed to subsidies in general—namely, Messrs, Potter, Morrison, Luttroll, Landers, Blair, Caswell and Rice—and six who are credited with being friendly to the Texas Pacific enter- prise—namely, Messrs. Throckmorton, House, C mors, Elam, O'Neil and Colo, 4 YLOOD OF BILLS~-INDICATIONS OF A PRO- LONGED SESSION—<A REVISION OF THE TARIFF PRESAGED. The gates were opened to-day and the long pent-up flood of bills poured into the House to the number of Detween oight and nine hundred. Of these there were about filty for the repeal of tho Rusamption uct ond the remonetization of silver. This deluge means business. It indicates clearly that the House has settled down to work and, with a recess at tho end of the prevent week extending over oloc- tion day, will prolong the extra session and merge it into the regular session tn Decom- ber, In this pile of bills the tarif question takes a conspicuous, place, It will be remombered that the last Congress felt itselt too busy with the in- ‘Vestigation business and the electoral question to ae- voto the time to a proper consideration of this sub- Ject, which is all the moro urgent now for this delay. A bill, said to havo been carefully digested in New York, was introuuced by Mr. B. A. Willis, the dis- ‘Muguishing features of which are a reduction of twenty-five por cent upon all imported goods, With the exception of such raw materials as those which enter into-manafactures and the restoration of the tax on tea and coffee, the abolition of which it has beon found never inured to the benefit of tho consumers, Tho free list is to be ent and sim- plified by oxempting all articles aot apecitically mene tioned, and specific duties only are to be imposed, Balarics aro to be pata instead of fees collected. In contrariety to the fifty soft monoy bills Mr, Willis also reintroduced bis bard money measure for the funding of the groenbacks into a four per cent bond, SHE LENGTH OF THE SESSION—SMALL PRCS- PECTS FOR AN ADJOURNMENT, The Houso having adjourned until Wednesday tho Orat thing in order on that day wil! be the reading ef the journal, which will occupy neariy the whole day, the titles of the 846 bills intro. duced today being a part of tho recora, ‘This turther sotties tho taikod of adjournment of Con- gross this weok, as the Army Appropriation bill will not be ready to be reported before Thursday next, It is wuid that one member has already a revolution provid- Ing that this extra sessivn shall adjoura from Thaoks- giving Evo to the first Monday in Decomber, Tue NEW YORK APPOINTMENTS AND THE CHAIRMANSHIP OF THC COMMITTEE ON COM- MENCE. In the executive session of the Senate this afte noon the nominations of Messrs, Roosevelt, Merritt and Prince to tho New York Custom Houso offices were roferred to tho Committee on Commerce, of which Sevator Conkling is chairmao, whereby, of course, there 1s supposed to hang a tale, {Ue NINTM CENSUS AND ITS EYYECT ON THE RECRESENTATIVE BRANCH OF CONGRESS, Not pha leass important of the billg introduced to. day and whicn must be considerod at this sessiun of Congress ts one providing for taking tho nintn census and the apportionment of representation undor it. It ig claimod by tho Southern membors that to protect the New England and Middlo States the South- ero States were sot properly canvassed,’ and that this omission shall not be repeated ‘on 1880. Om the basis of a Representative for every ono bundred and fifty thousand inhabitants the State of Texus, now having but six members in the House, expects to be represented by twenty mem- bers in the Forty-seventh Corgress. Missouri, litin- ois, Arkansas, Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, Wisconsin and Minnesota are’likewise calculating on an Increased represontation, whilo the Northern States will en- deayor to Keop their present number. The fact, the e- fore, presents itself that the time is near at hand when the present Hall of Representatives will either have to beenlarged, or the English system of allowing tho members ooly bench room be adopted, The present number of desks is802, which take up all the space tn the hall, crowding it, and it would be impossible to provide room for filty moro within the present limits ofthe chamber, Undor tho last apportionment tho represeptntion in the Hoase was increased just fifty members, from 242 to 292 Since Colorado has added one to the number, Bestdi which there are aight Territorial delegates on the floor, seated, Members of the present Congress who seem to have a iife lense on their seats favor the plan of the House of Commons, which would compel mem- bers to carry on their correspondence in committce rooms and limit themselvos to the transaction of busi- ness on the floor of the House, ME. BAXTER’S NOMINATION AS JUDGE OF THF SIXTH CIRCUIT—A PROMPT CONFIRMATION PREMICTID, T. omipation of John Baxter, of Knoxvillo, to bo Jury “@ Seth Circuit will bo, it 1s said, prompuly repor: parmation by the Judiciary Committee, the ru ys Paving for bia friend Senator Davis, of Ilinc ig Ne not only tndorses his appoint- ment but .% @ momber of the committec, The confirmation; however, will in all Probability be opposed by the Tennessec Senators, and as strongy! urged by the Senators from North Carolina and by Senstor Burnside, of Rhode fsland, who formed Mr. Baxter’s intimate acquaintance in Knox- ville during the war, The only importance attached to these details is the anticipated opposition in execu- tave-session to the confirmation of cne whose war " record sa objcotionable to one of the Tennessce Sena- tora, EFFORT FQR IMPROVED COMMERCIAL RELATIONS WITH MEXICO, Among the tmportant joint resointions introduced in the House wus one by Mr. Randall Gibson, of Lou- isiana, requesting the President to appoint a commission of three, to meet a similar com- mission to be appointed by the Mexican gov- ernment, to agreo upou, a commercial treaty for the establishment of better relations between the two countries, A similar proposition will be made to tbe Central American States, both of which will have the support of the Southern delegations in Congress.

FOLLIN WENT FISHING WITH A PARLOR RIFLE, THREE ACTORS AND A JOURNALIST, AND NETYED STATEN ISLAND JUSTICE TEN DOL Lans, The tragic fate which befell a New York tishing party with a parlor guo tn the rural retreat of Clifton, Staten Island, on Sunday evening last, as they on the point of returaing home with their murderous ‘weapon, was fully revealed by the card of Harry Beckett, George Hollaad, Kben Plympton, A, Follin, Sydoey Rosenteld, Joseph Holland aod Robert Stra- kosch i-yesterday’s Hmkanp, The seven young gen- tlemen avove named are not unknown to fame. Messrs, Beckett, Holland and Plympton are holding up tho mirror to nature on t) age; Mr. Follin sheds lustre upon Frank Lestie’s publishing hou: Mr. Roson- feld is the English editur ot Puck, while Mr, Robert Strakosch is a nephew of the improsario, Max, A jolly party, forsooth, to go upon a fishing expedition, Max Strakosch has a pleasant country house at Pleasant Plain, a short distance below Ciifton and in immediate Proximity to the rustic abode of hig iriend abd rival entrepreneur, Max Maretzek, Prince's Bay is famous for its good fishing, and Mr, Robert Strakosch had invited his 1x (riends to enjoy a ood day’s sport in the bay and wind up the excursion with plenty of fun nd a good dinner at his uncle’s residence, Little did he think of the awtul fate which awalted bis friends at the bands of outrage Staten Isiand justice.
