Committee Despots.
Congressman JfjeUbrd, of Color
ado' very sensibly takes issue with
the custom that has given auto-
cfatip power jncuses' of debate to
the headsof committees, and with
alHhe-itppressiveness of a deeply
injured man he says: "The fault
is not in the speaker; -it is in the
system by which the House is
governed. The House of Repre
sentatives iustead of being the
council of the nation, is simply an
aggregation of committees. A
few men who seem to, be favorites
of fortune, have constituted them
selves into a Pretorian guard, and
arrogated to themselves the right
to declare who shall aud who shall
not, mount the throne. A mem
ber outside of a committee, who
represents a state as large and im-portant-as
New York, can not be
heard in virtue of his right as a
Kepresen'tativebut is compelled
to beg the poor privilege from
some lordling of that committee,
who
has been elevated through
the favoritism of the Speaker or
through the active- influence of
other gentlemen who burnt in
cense at the altar of the court. If
Massachusetts were represented
on the floor of the House to-day
by Webster, Kentucky by Ciay,
Missouri by Benton, Michigan by
Oass, South Carolina by Calhoun,
and these, gentlemen had failed to
secure places on important com
mittees they could not be heard
on questions of national inport
ance, unless they -secured that
fight through the kindly partiality
of the' Ho'n". John Jones, or the
Hon. "William Smith, who hap
pened to be -members of the com
mittees having these important
matters irr cbargp. Wjb boast that
vre are 'citizens of a representative
government, 'wherum the spirit of
Democracy is dominant, but tue
world cannpt point to .such an oli
garchy as that which controls the
debates in the House of Repre
sentatives. Lastsessrqn my "state
was deeply interested in the quos
tibh of the removal of the Utes.
The .'property of our citizens had
been destroyed, our women out
raged, a war between the whites
and the Indians seemed to be in
evitable, and yet, because I was
not a member of "the committee on
Indian Affairs, I could not address
the House, even for five minutes.
I do not think that a member of a
committee has any more rights on
tlio floor of the House than one
who is not a member of such com
mittee, and for one, I propose
hereafter to make war on that system,-especially
when it stands be
tweenMne and the rights of the
poople whom I have been sent
hero to represent. I don't pro
pose that " any Pretorian guard
shall deprive me or my state of
the rights accorded us by the Con
stitution of this country. I didn't
know that I could say anything at
any time that would interest the
House, but no man shall deprive
trie 'of .that right if I dc&ire to ex
ercise it, whether lie is on one
committee or another. My rights
are equal to the rights of any oth
er member and the voice of my
state ism entitled to bo heard,
' whether the Speaker assigns me
to one committee or another. It
is time thai somebody should .re
bel against the despotistn of these
"ommittees, and when the oppor
tunity arrives, I prorjose to ascer
tain just how securely are en
throned the committee despots.
SEXATOuGEovrnJias introduced
bills in 'the Senate recently pro
viding 6500,000 for the improve
ment -of the Columbia river
entrance; also 8750,000 for the
Cascade locks, and 5.200,000 for
the Yaquina bay entrance. He
has also given notice that he in
tends to address tire Senate shortly
on the necessity of these appropri
ations. By energetic demands for
these" three-present essentials, the
w;ttiior,wii earn ine approoaiion

A Good Point.
Dukixg a recent .visit to this
Coabt of two Irish members of
Parliament,1 one. of them, T. M.
Healy, in a &peech at San Francis
co, said:
Americans, we are told, are very
sensitive upon the question of the
rights of private property. Has
! America never interfered with the
rights of private property:1 I
think I have heard of a" noble,
honored name, dear to all lovers
of liberty in America Abraham
Lincoln and his abolition of pri
vate property, invested in 4,000,
000 slaves, "worth 2,000,000,000.
Take all Ireland from sea to sea,
or rather the land of its oppressed
people, and it could be -bought for
half that sum. Still, tiie men who
cried "Well done," when Abraham
Lincoln wiped put 2,000,000,000
of private property because they
abhorred and detested black sla
very, now condemn us because wo
are endeavoring to free ourselves
from a tiavery still worse than that
of the southern states. Have wo
no fclavcs in Ireland? I have
never heard that the slaves in the
South wont about half-starved,
half-naked, and were obliged to
live in hovels that white men
would not nut their beasts into. I
have never heard that less than
thirty years ago nearly two million I
of people died in the midst of
plenty by actual starvation. And
while I have heard of kind-hearted
southern men who permitted slaves
to work and save enough xo buy
their own freedom, and fed him,
and clothed him and cared for him
at the same time; I have never
heard of an English landlord doing
the same for his Irish tenant
slave.""
The method taken by the cen
sus bureau to give the results of
the census to the public at the
earliest possible moment, is de
serving of high praise. Bulletins
have been issued from time to
time, giving results as fast as they
were obtained, and they have been"
sent to the press and their purport
given to the people a year or two
in advance of the publication of the
more stately volumes. Two hun
dred andsevcnty-tvvo of tliese reg
ular bulletins, in addition to sev-
er.il special ones, have been le
ceived, and a fund of most import
ant information is this placed with
in the reach of those who have the
greatest need for it, to aid them in
discussing matters of general in
terest. TnE Dakota people are thor
oughly in earnest in their demands
for recognition aS a State. At a
convention held in Sioux Falls re
cently five hundred representatives
were present from all parts of the
Territory, and one hundred and
thirty-one delegates were chosen
to go to Washington in the inter
est of the bill that makes them an
integral part of the Union.
