The House Committees.

The Ways and Means Committee appears to contain nine revenue-tariff men and two protectionists, classified as follows : Messrs. Wood, Tucker. Sayler, Robbins, Harris, Gibson, Phelps, Garfield, and Burchard; and two protectionists, Messrs. Kelley and Banks. The Banking and Currency Committee is said to be composed of four hardmoney and seven who are not bullionists. Among the latter class the various shades of silver-money men and greenback men are represented. If the distinction of hard and soft-money men only is maintained the hard-money men are Handenburgh, Hart, Ames, and Chittenden, and the soft-money men, Buckner, Ewing, Yeates, Hartzell, Danford, and Phillips/ The Pacific Railroad Committee is larger than the others, and has thirteen members. It is made up of seven opposed to subsidies in general, namely : Messrs. Potter, Morrison, Luttrell, Landers, Blair, Casewell, and Rice; and six who are credited with being friendly to the Texas Pacific enterprise, namely : Messrs. Throckmorton, House, Chalmers, Elam, O’Neil, and Cole.— Washington Cor. Chicago Tribune.
