hes of Congress, to report a bill embodying the Presidents recommendation of a conscript system, and also to develop the mineral resources of the Confederacy, and to establish foundries, ordnance establishments, &c., was taken up and read.

He believed these special committees were the curses of legislation. He never knew any good to some of them or of large committees. Mr. Brown, of Mist., thought the appointment of a special committee, such as called for, would be a reflection of imputation upon the Military Committee, and for this reason he was opposed to it.
