Contested Kcnts. The Republican force in the new IIni?e, however, is likelj to be materially Increased hy the result of several contests which will arise. Iu the Pennsylvania delegation tbe scat held by John Motlet, Dem., is beiugcontusted by Leonard M5rs, hep.; that of John R. Reading, Dem., by Caleb AI. Tajlor, Rep.; and that of Henry l. Foster, Dem., by John Covode, Rep., with fair chances of success in each ca?e. la the Indiana delegation the seat of George W. Julian, Rep., is being coutesteJ by John S.

Iu Kentucky Sidney M. Barnes, Rep., claims the seat of George M. Adams, Dem. lu New Jersey George A. Halsey, Rep., will cudeavor to oust Orettes Clevelaud, Dem. There Is likely, also, to be a contest over the seats of tho Fourth and k'lghth Tennessee districts, tho Democratic caudioates. Charles A. Sheafe in the Fourth and John W. Leftwich in the Eighth, hiving received a majority of the votes cast, although Governor Brownlow awarded the certidcatcj lo the Republicans. Tbe Change In (be Ilonse. By the tables given above, it will be seen that 08 Republican and 46 Democratic members ot tbe present House retire from Con cress on the 4th of March. Since tho outbreak or the war the changes in tbe membership of thellousa have been remarkable. Only twelve persoui who were In the House during the memorable session of the winter of 1860-61 will be con tained ou tbe rolls of the new House. These are tbe following: John A. Logan, theu a Democrat, EUbu D Washburue, and Jobu F. Fsrnswortb. of Illinois; William E. Niblack, Michael C. Eeir, aad William S. Uolman, then, us bow, Democrats of Indiana; JJeurv L, Dawes, of Massachusetts; John A. Bingbata and Stmucl 8, Cox, of Ohio, tho latter now a niomber 1mm New York; Calwallader C. Washburn, of Wisconsin; and Horace Maynard at d William B. Stokes, then known as Southern Americans, of Tennessee. If John Covode fhotild succeed in gaining his seat, tho number will be Increased to thirteen. lhe enviable title or Father of the House" will itill belong to Elibu li. Washburue, of Illinois, who first entered Cnnrress In 1853 and ba bien a member ever sinc that date. Hitherto he hat bad strong claims upon the Speakership, bnt they wero not pressed by hi friends as long as Schuyler Colfax was a mem ber. Now that Colfax Is oat of tbe wsy, howevrr, nobody talks ot Mr. Wa'hbnrne for Speaker, as better things are ut b:s command, l he KiteakrrNbip. As the time for the assembling an1 orgsni lion of the new House approaches, tho contest for the Speakership Is narrowed down more closely between Het iy L Dawes, of Massa chusetts, and Janie G. Blaine, of Maine, with the dinners, at this wriiiucr, very equally divided. The circumstance of the new Presi dent ard Vice President being both Western men, rci'ieisit necessary tnat the Speakership should be given to tbe East, and either Mr. Dawes or Mr. Blaine is regarded as certain of an election, nENRV L. DAWKS, of Massachusetts, was boru in Caramington, Hampshire county, in that Sta'e, October 80, 1816; aradnated at Ya'e Coile In 1839: etudl-d law, and then taucht school for a time, also editing a paper called the GrcenflId Gazette; was a member of the lower house of the Massa chusetts Legislature duriugthe years 1848, 1849, and 1852, of the Stale Senate lu 1850, and of the State Constitutional Convention in 1851 was Dud rlct Attorney of the Weitern District from 1853 until 1857, when ho was elected to the House of Representatives, of wh'ch he has been a member ever since, In 1859 he was placed ou tho Committee on Elections, and has since then been the most influential member of that committee. JAMES 0, BLAINE, of Maine, was born in Washington county, Pennsylvania, in 1830; grndualed at Washing ton College in 1847; embraced the profession ot lournallsm, and, having removed to Maine, was for several years the editor of tho Kenne bec Journal and also of the Portland Advertiser, Having served for four years in the State legis lature, two years as Speaker of the lower house, in 1862 he was elected to Congress, aud ra cketed successively in 1864, 1866, and 1968.

Edward McPberson to the Clerkship of the House, on Its assembling for organization. Fet within the past lew weeks a formidable opposition to him has been growing np, tho only argument in support of Which Is the alleged fact that Pennsylvania Las, between McPberson aud Forney, enjove I the oosltloa long enough. General Fphraim R.
