TBE HOUSK COMMITTEES.
It would appear that Mr. Randall has
manifested extraordinary tact in the
selection of the committees : of the
House. While, as a matter of course,
there are some who are disappointed and
displeased as to the manner in which
thev were assigned, we have seen no
sd-fttprnf-nt which does not
AAV V
assert that the appointments are gener
ally satisfactory. He satisfied the Tam-
manv and anti-Tammany wings of the
party, the hard, and the soft-money
branches, and all other clashing fac-
irm Thft r.reenbaickers ! were ' dis
posed of in a jhannef which s;j)lease8
them greatly, 'and even tne uepnuu-
rana with t.hfi exception of Robeson, of
New Jersey, seem to be entirely satis
fied. Of the fifty-two chairmanships
twenty-six were given to the North
and twenty-six to the South, and in all
respects Mr. Randall seems to have dis
Ichaiged his' difficult and: exceedingly
delicate duties in a manner which in
creases his already high reputation as
sin adroit and far-sighted political man
user. '
As to the North Carolina members,
they were, taken as a whole, dealt with
TiTritB-herallv.Theywere given two
jchairmanships, and all of them, except
ing Mafrtih and Russell, were placed on
two committees. Mr. Martin is on the
committee on the causes of labor de
pression; Mr. Kitchin is on the com-
' niittees oriptiblie buildings and on ex
penditures in the naval department;
Mr. Russell is on the committee on war
claims; Mr. Davis on the committees
on banks and currency and public ex
penditures; Mr. Scales is chairman of
the committee on Indian affairs, as he
was in the Forty-Fifth Congress, and
is a member of the committee on mili
tia; Mr. Steele is on the committees on
public land3 and agriculture ; Mr. Arm
field is on the committees on elections
and mines and mining; Mr. Vance is
restored to the chairmanship of the
committee on patents and is placed on
that on coinage, weights and measures
On the whole the North Carolinians
fare well in the Forty-Sixth Congress.
In the Senate Mr. Ransom has two
chairmanships, Mr. Yance one, and
' both are on several leading committees
besides.
THE SECREST CASE,
There is much complaint among the
newspapers growing out of the recent
decision of the Supreme Court granting
a new trial to Hoke C. Secrest, the wife
and child murderer. The point upon
which the case was sent back was
totally immaterial, yet for the sake of
a mere form more than a hundred
witnesses are compelled to again
undergo long journeys, heavy expense
and great inconvenience, and another
addition is to be made to the already
; heavy bill of:cost with which Hurke is
saddled. All this, however, is the least
part of the just complaint against all
thij delay. The blood of- ii murdered
woman and child am crying aloud for
vengeance and outraged , justice is de
manding the punishment of this most
yfoul crime. The end, however, is not
ye and not yet even in sight. The
next term of McDowell court, which
occurs in the fl, will bring about a
continuance or a change of venue in all
probability. This will gain six months'
time for the criminal. If he is again
tried next spring, there winie another
appeal to the Supreme (jHirt, and no
one can tell but there may be granted
anomer new trial, xne defendant is
; alleged to have.friends and relatives with
' mean's' which they are willing to spend
in his behalf, and if so justice may be
baffled indefinitely and defeated in the
end.
Oh, the laws are fearfully abused
when press and people have to openly
i wmandthatyjustice which the law
should execute speedily and without
reminder ; and we repeat what we have
said more than once before, that we have
fallen upon evil times when judicial
methods are in such contempt that the
people are forced to believe (as they are
now) rapidly coming to believe) that
there is no certainty of the punishment
of notorious criminals except by that
"species of wild justice" administered
by Judge Lynch. '

Increase In tbe Eastern Complications.
London. April 14. A special from
Vienna to the Daily Telegraph says:
The resumption of the negotiations
relative to the mixed occupation of
Eastern Roumelia, which stopped when
the Forte proposed that instead of mix
ed occupation, the powers snouia agree
to the nomination of Aleko Fasha as
f governor, the Porte agreeing to the pro
ongation of the international commis
sion for one vear. and to abstain during
that period from occuping the points it
has the right to garrison, has only in
creased the state of dire confusion that
prevailed when they were suspended a
few davs ago. Germany has refused to
send her commander in chief and staff,
and it is stated that another power,
which had a leading part in the whole
business, has also rejected the offer of
chief command. Russia lias also raised
new difficulties."
Supreme Court Decisions.
Washington, April 14. In the case of
the New Orleans Canal and Banking

the city given to it by the constitution
or laws of the United States.
A decision was also rendered in the
case of David N. Barron, administrator,
vs. Logan Hunter, appealed from the
United States Circuit Court for the
District of Louisiana. The court holds
that the Circuit Court had no jurisdic

and the cause remanded to the State
court from which it was taken.
In the case of the Board of Super
visors ot caihoun county vs. vt . u.
Oalbraith, from the United States Dis

British Troubles at Khjber Pass.
London, April 14 The Times' La

lows : "There is no doubt that bad feel
ing is growing against the British
amongst all the tribes interested in
Khyber Pass. They complain that the
.British are acting as though they in
tended to keep the pass in spying out
the hill fatsnesses. Emissaries from
Yakoob Khan have also doubtless been
bnsy among the tribes. Our conduct
and intentions must be explained, and
the frontier affairs placed in the hands
of the most capable officials, otherwise
we may have a combination against us
which at the present moment would be
most inconvenient.

sPnatfl after- the usual morning
the armv appropriation bill, and Blaine
proceeded to address the Senate.
striking out the eight words offensive
to them, viz: " Or to keep the peace at
the polls,"! repealed the whole section
of which those words were a part, and
then re-enacted it, thinking to get erea-.
it for originating it; but this law was
passed in time of war and signed by;
Lincoln when he had a million men
under his control and could have con
trolled elections without any such aid,.
The purpose of the law was to insure
fairness ini elections, and the Demo?
cratsnow bear witness to its fitness for.
toat purpose by trying to re-enact it.
He derided the idea of military inter
ference, andsaid there were.only 2,19
soldiers east oi umana, ana oniy laoo ;
in the Southern States about 70 to
every million people. The Democratic
cry ot military aespousm wouia injuie

the standing or tne country aoroau, out,
a European would laugh at it if . he
knew there was only one soldier to ev
ery seven hundred square miles ot ter
ritory in the South.: This was not the
real issue. The ulterior purpose of the
other side was to prevent the general
government from being represented by
its civil officers at elections in which it
was specially interested, and over which
the constitution gives it lull contrpl.
He would not profess to know what
the President would do when these bills
came to mm. out it seemeu to mm uim

rise from their graves if he should coui
sent to be intimidated and outraged in
his proper constitutional power ..by
threats hike these. The appropriate, re
sponse from his lips would be, "is thy
servant a' dog thathe. should do this
thing?"
V liuera, oi v imma, skim xiuuo re
marks would not produce much effect
on either the Senate or the country, It
was not a question to be decided whether
there are soldiers enough to dominate
control elections, but whether, under
and the operations of existing Jaws4t was
not possible for the executive to distrib
ute and use the soldiery so as to; de
stroy the freedom of elections. It was
not to confront, a present danger but
to remove from the present or any fu
ture President the temptation the ex
isting law would offer to destroy the
liberties of the country and erect on
the ruins of the republic a despotism
supported -by; amis. He argued that
the presence of troops at the polls was
incompatible :with free government,
and this was the principle on which
the pending bill was based. The Dem
ocrats did not propose to shape their
course as to what may or may not be
the position of the President He should
not attempt to take away a particle of
the spinal marrow attempted to be giv
et tathe President by the Senator from
Maine. He would not interfere with
any agency to mruse strength to nis
spinal cord.
The aeoate was ciosea oy w anace, oi
'ennsylvania, who declared that the
single issue in this bill is, shall the ex
ecutive longer possess the - power to
place troops atf tne poiis. Their pres
ence is a menace upon the right of free
elections. This right is fixed and cer
tain. It comes to us from England, and
is part of bur system of laws. Its pro-
ection rests with the states and the
Federal government, has nothing to do
with it. ;---"
After an argument of considerable
ength the Senators closed by saying
that this legislation places a check on
the military power in the interest of the
people. We must restore the original
rincipies trom which four years or
war have diverted the government;
bring the military to strict subordina
tion to the civil power; petmit a free
system of laws, to be based upon free
ballot 'and expunge a standing menace

ed to the call of States for bills for ref
erence, beginning with the State of
Maine. The first response was made
by Ladd, of Maine, who introduced a
bill to put the coinage of gold and sil
ver on the same footing-. -A-point of or
der was hereupon raised by Conger, of
'.MihKfOti thar. tha iTitrrf1nrtinn rvf ml la
reaUired one dav's notice, and that no
such notice had been given. The Speak
er, after quoting several rules bearing
on the subject, overruled the point ot
order. . . . , t s r
An appeal from " the decision was ta
ken by Conger, and a motion to lay the
appeal on the: tablewas made by Cox,
of New York.
The question was debated by Ste
phens, of Georgia, who expressed the
opinion that the decision was clearly
right, and that at all events the object '
of the bill could always be attained by
presenting a petition oa the same sub-
jectA-a : course winch be : himself pui-
sued this morning in regard to an ob
ject of legislation which he desired to
promote.
Conger is now debating the question,
thus indirectly obtaining his object,
which is the consumption of the morn
ing hour.
Later. After a brief argument by
Reed, of Maine, in support of the point
of order, and by Cox, of New York,
against it, Conger called for tellers on
the motion to lay on the table. There
upon Springer, of Illinois, remarking
that he wished to expedite the decision
of the question, called for the ayes
and nays, Which were ordered, and on
which Conger's ludicrous comment was
that he was glad to see the delay was
being occasioned -on the Democratic
side of the House. The appeal was laid
on the tableyeas 139, nays 75, but the
morning hour was taken up in the ob
jection, discussion, and in taking the
vote.
A motion to suspend the rules and
adopt a resolution giving as the judg
ment of the House that,.the business in
terests of the country require that no
legislation changing the law in regard
to currencjr or tariff should be underta
ken at the present session of Congress,
was defeated by a vote of 108 to 117.
