IN REPUBLICAN HANDS THE SENATE COMMITTEES AS arranged f*k re- ORGANIZATION. THE ‘‘HOG COMBINE" CARRIED OUT A Chairman Selected lor Each Com mittee Assigned to the Majority and the Populists, With One Exception, Given tlie Same f hairinai ships They Held Under Uemccratie Rule—Or. Sanderiin Hurt— Mej Payne Head— Cary Post-Office Matter Settled. WASHINGTON", Dec. 17.—(Special.) In the Committee of Claims room is Mr. G. Edgar Leach, of Raleigh, who is chief clerk. A Tammany Irishman in this room yesterday remarked that all the power of the United States Govern ment could not turn Mr. Leach out just at that time. His successor is sup posed to Ik- appointed by the chairman of the committee, and the committee has not yet been appointed, nor is it likely to be before the latter part of this week. Hut it seems from develop ments that even the courtesy of ap pointing the ehief clerk, heretofore accorded the chairmen of committees, is to be taken away from them. It is said that the “Hog Combine" prom ised more pie than was on the counter, and is, therefore, going to invade the committee-room appointments, in or der to send their customers aw ay slap ping their lips with satisfaction. The story of this Hog Combine lias been told in the papers. Nothing less sudden or less bold could have been so successful or so startling in American politices. The whole thing, it is said, was engineered by Hooker, from New York, and Stone, from Pennsylvania, with Platt and Quay respectively be hind them, and tin* under-gossip is that Heed looked not frowningly upon it all—in fact, that it was. warp and woof, a Reed racket all the way through. Nothing like it ever before. The machine swapped offices for votes w ith picked State delegations, Ohio getting nineteen offices in tin* “shake." Ihe question of geography w av ignored and availability only considered. Tom Set tle got two offices in the deal, and it is said Lord Pearson got two, though this latter is not certainly stated. Settle gave one office to Mr. Wray, from lleidsville, in the Disbursing Office, which pays, 1 think, $2,000. And about the other office an amus ing incident which occurred yesterday may l>e noted. Settleguve his other place to a negro who was formerly a school-teacher —the place was that of laborer—to bring up wood from the sub-cellar to the committee-rooms and to take out ashes. The negro was mak ing a quiet kick yesterday to some of the House employes. One of them told me that he said he had been in the school-teaching business, and hadn’t been used to "packing” wood up stair ways; that he had expected something better, ami that he was going to give up the job. He said that he had count ed the steps yesterday morning and there were ISO of them between his wood-pile and the committee-room fire-place. This is a Republican negro. The Democratic negro appointed by llunn in the last Congress did the same thing, and was glad of the job. It is said that it is not improbable that Mr. Settle will be made Chairman of the Committe on Claims, in which case, it is thought that he will appoint his brother-in-law, Mr. Ben Sharp as Chief Clerk, that is, as noted above, if the Hog Combine does not do the ap pointing over his head, in order to fill “engagements.” The Populists didn’t get a smell of all this padding. They chose to put up their man Bell for Speaker, refus ing to go into the caucus. Bell got six votes, there being only seven Popu lists in the House, namely, Howard, of Alabama; Beil, of Colorado; Baker, of Kansas; Kent, of Nebraska; Skin ner, Shtiford and Strowd, of North Carolina. It may be that. Linney, too, voted for Bell. Bell, Baker and Keni served in the 53rd Congress. The rest are new. None get any patronage. New land is the only representative from Nevada and is called a Silverite, whatever that is. He was in the 53rd Congress, is about 47 years of age, and was a trustee of the Great Sharon es tate. Howard is the man who wrote “If Christ Should Come To Congress,’ the tone of which has received severe cen sure at. the hands of some of his col leagues. He and Congressman Strowd are in the same boarding house, and no doubt will spring some bill to save the country before Congress adjourns. * * * Tn the committee assignments, Sen ator Pritchard gets good places. He goes on the committee on the District of Columbia, a coveted place by those who are looking for social prominence in the capital, and is chairman of the committee on Civil Service and Re trenchment. Senator Ihitler is taken care of by being given the chairman ship of the committee on Organization, Ac., of the Executive Departments. The chairmen of the committees will l»e as follows: STANDING COMMITTEES. Agriculture, Proctor, of Vermont. Appropriations, Allison of lowa. Audit Contingent Expenses, ./ones, of Nevadsi Census.

The three Elections committees which it is now thought will lie ap pointed by Heed are considered by several Democrats to be only so many guillotines, in spite of his celestial ut terance concerning a desire for jus tice. On the other hand, his friends say that the unpresented appointment of these three committees is done to clear the tables as a preliminary to bus iness. and that the partisan flavor will be more lacking than ever specially in the face of the 138 majority of Republi cans. It is thought to-niglit that, the chairman of the committees will be respectively, Call, of Massachusetts, Johnson, of Indiana, and Daniels, of New York. The composition of the committees will lie (> Republicans and 3 Democrats each. In order to make this departure in committee-making a new rule is expected to be reported to-morrow covering the programme. It does not now seem likely that the committees will he announced before the latter part of the week, namely, on the day of adjournment for the holi days. There was something of a tilt yester day 7 between Coo]>er, Derm, of Florida, and Flynn, Republican, of Oklahoma. Cooper defended Secretary Hoke Smith against whom Fly nn math' the charge that the Secretary had delayed the ap pointment of allotment agents in Oklahoma, for the purpose of allowing some of his relatives, who were attorney s, to make money by the delay. Flynn said a law bad been passed providing for tin* ap pointment of those agents within twelve months, and introduced a reso lution practically calling upon the Sec retary to inform the House why he had not done as Mr. Flynn wanted him to do. Cooper, withdrawing his objec tion, the resolution was taken up by unanimous consent and passed. Stewart, of Nevada, in the Senate, made a speech on the necessity of leg islation which would protect America against tin* rapidly growing and cheap manufacturers of Japan. In the midst of his s[icech lie read from Consul ,ler nigan’s report, saying it was "very in structive and should lie in the hands of every American.” The showing of Japanese manufacturing growth was interesting, but very few Senators seemed to pay 7 much attention to Stew art. He continued, saying that the remedy against Japan was protection and free silver; that the money re ceived by the Japanese was twice as valuable to them as was our demone tized silver to us, anti labor was far cheaper to laborers who were able to subsist on less. He, was in favor of “a Chinese wall so high around this country that it would keep the sun out.” The facts anti figures were ordered printed in the Record and would make good reading for North Carolinians who will send to their Con gressmen for the copy containing them. Specially enteresting is the cot ton showing in the reports from Japan. * * * Maj. John Scott Payne, of Chapel Hill, N. C., who died on Sunday, was a brother-in-law of Prof. Alexander, Minister to Greece. He moved to Cha pel Hill some years ago, and about two years ago was appointed by Secretary Hoke Smith to a position on the Board In Curing Torturing Disfiguring Skin Diseases Qticura Works Wonders Bold throughout the world.

The Republicans started the applause each time. The enthusi asm was spontaneous and unanimous, the document being received as hearti ly in the Senate as in the House. At the close of the reading Crisp arose with a resolution, but was ignored by 7 Reed, who recognized Boutelle, ad journing the House immediately 7 . The idea of unanimous endorsement of the President was too much for the Speak er. I learn to-night that Crisp’s reso lution provided for an appropriation of SIOO,OOO for the commission recom mended. It would have gone through with a shout. Hardly any thing else is being talk ed about to-night in the lobbies. Cannon led the debate which lasted all day, on the three elections com mittees in a bloody shirt speech and was hotly replied to bv Crisp and Mc- Millan. •* -* -* Congressman Woodard, to-night tells me that Mr. R. H. Templeton has been appointed postmaster at Cary, though this has not been yet officially 7 an nounced. 1 hear that Mr. Woodard was mainly instrumental in the appoint ment. Gen. W. I\ Roberts, Consul to Victo ria, passed through the city to-day on his way to North Carolina for a visit. A South Dakota man succeeds Col. Henry G. Williams, of Wilson, X. (’., as assistant superintendent of the House Document rooms. Col. Williams has held this place almost continuously for sixteen or eighteen years, and the people of North Carolina will regret to hear of his displacement. Dr. Sanderiin does not get better. He sent for a doctor this afternoon for the first time. Several days ago he fell from a street car and sprained his hip. While there is no alarm about him, still there seems to lie some anxiety among his friends who hear that the base of the spine appears to be in volved. He has not been out since his accident and is still in bed. It is now considered almost certain that Hooker, of New York, will be chairman of the River and Harbor com mittee. W. E.
