During the last session of Congress we organized three commissions or committees: one on the postal system of the country. one on the reorganization of the Army. and one on the question of Chinese immigration. the cooly question. One was a congressional committee purely. another a committee of gentlemen experienced in the field to which they were appointed. and the other a mixed committee. I believe that we appropriated $10.000 for the expenses of stich one of those committees. Has the gentlemen heard anything from them ? Have they furnished a single fact upon which to predicate legislation? TYear after year for years past we have had pleasant junketing committees traveling over .he country. but up to this time I have never known a valuable fact to be brought oat in that way.
