COMMITTEE ON PEDIGREES.

The Committee on Pedigrees, Lord M—, Chairman, now
reported that the $1,500 man was a Latin tutor at Harvard, son
of clergyman; that the $2,500 man was a journalist, formerly
a college professor and son of the President of a College; that
the $7,000 man was a broker, with only desk room in Cedar
street, born in Ireland, near Lord Munson's estate; that the
$5,000 man sold theatre tickets in front of Niblo's; and that the
$15,000 man kept a livery-stable near the Bull's Head, but that
his father was with General Jackson as a Government contractor in
the war of 1812. The $7,000 man was accepted because he was
born near Lord Munson's, and the $15,000 man because his
father fought with General Jackson.
