[From our resrnlnr correspondent ] Washington. Au g. 22, 1803. Speaker Crisp completed the committee assignments and has announcrtt^ them early this week. Owing to there being no committees to which they cmtld he" referred no bills hare been ^intro duced in the House with the ex ception of that for the repeal of the purchasing clause of the Sherman law ? which has been taken up for consideration under an agreement, without having been referred lo a Committee, but a. Hood of these are ready to be introduced as soon as the committees are ready for them. No speech made in tb<* silver dc- j bale in tn^ House, which is nowj drawing So h, close, was more care fulis' listened to than that of Rep- | resentative McCreary,' of Ky. Gov. McCrearv is a good ta ker upon almost any subject and the I knowledge gained as one of the L". >. delegates to the international j monetary conference aided to the interest of w'mt he had to say about silver. He began by slat ing that he voted against the Sher man law which had l>een a failinei and a colossal curse, and that he favored the unconditional repeal ot its purchasing el a use and the adoption of other legislation after wards in a separate bid; and he impressed it upor. the House that he was speaking as a friend of sil ver and not as its enemy. He said tie favored international bimetai ism and believed the repeal bill the best way to bring it about, and iiiat the only sare path' to free rcofnage was through an interna i n :7T agreement . In reply to a ques tion from 51 r Bland, fie stated that he was as much in favor of silver as that gentleman was. He also stated that to change- lie ratio would be to destroy every prospect of an international agreement. It was plain to aii that the speech made an impression on the mem bers. The generkl belief here, even ; among the radical silver men, is ihrttbe repeal bili will pass the House, although opinion rliif'crs a> to the majority it will get. If any one has. the idea that 'President Cleveland is idle while at Gray Gables a u early morning visit to the office of his private secretary, in the white House, will I show how erroneous such an idea | is. As regular as the morning mail |com?'s a big batch of oftlcial doc uments, representing the Presi f dent's work of the day before, and just as regularly does private "Sec retary Thurber send a big .package to the President. Every body is laughing at the neat manner in which Senator Gorman sat down up??n the rep resentative of a New York paper which ha9 lately been very bitter I 'm its abuse of him for no better j apparent reason than that lie de clined to take the afore-said p:iper into his confidence. The other day, just after an uu usually bitter criticism of the Senator had been Sprinted under a Washington date |line, the Washington correspon dent of the paper sent a man t? | ask Sector Gorman if be had any | answer ^a make to the- tiiade, '?Really, ^replied the.Senator, with one of his *nost beaming smiles, ''1 | seldom s? that paper, and I v h-? vt* j not hfard of the Jtrtx.de you refer i to." With some confusion ihe [man began to explainttlie nature of ; the article, but he was interupted I by Mr Gorman who carelessiv re | marked as he turned to speak ? joneofhis colleagues : "The matter | r 3 not of the slightest importance | T assnre you." It is needless to say tail the interview with Mr Gor i man was not- wired to the paper. | Neit.-.er Secretary H<<ke Smith ?nor Commissioner Loch re n are wor rying even a little bit over the re solutions introduced into the Sen late by Mr Gallinger, of N.

One day he discovered] that t Ii'* pats, winch were supposed to weigh three pounds each, were notmptothe standard, and further revealed a steady dimii.uation in the daily provision.

' * ?'And have you any weight*?". contin ued the judge. An .answer this j time in the negative was as promptly given. 'But ^pw did \?u inanage tt) weigh your batter?' asked the magistrate. Then the farmer related that ever since the baker had taken his bntter he had returned the complement- by buying his l>read. The baker bad supplied him with three p<;und loaves, and that he had used them as weights for his butter "It is his fault, not mine; if the weight is not correct," added :be farmer, who was soeedify acquitted and left the court in triumph ^fith an escort of friends and admirers. Sin.'e his trial the farmer i> said to have been supplied with mon th in his due provision of bread, but he has taken good care not to fait into the Opposite error, and the baker has now his thrq^pound pats of butter full weight but not an ounce more. 3Iaf!e l*la i n at Last.
