As early as 1828 he ha 1 entered the political

polemical contests, publishing a work, which

added to the Republican side, maklutr 162
Republicans to b0 Democrats, giving a Repub
lican majority of 82 and a bare 't at o-thirds'
vote.
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.
Reid, Dem.; and that of Daniel W. VoorUees,
Hem., bv William Wirt Carter, Rep. In Missouri
JameB Shields, Dem., claims the seat of Robert
T. Van Horn, Rep.; and William F. Sffit.ler,
Dim., that ol David P. Dyer, Rep. In Ohio
Hetijamiu Eggleston, Rep., contests the son of
Philip W. btiader, Deru.j and James M. Ashley,
Rep., that of Trotnan 11. Hoag, Dem. 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,

For a long lime it was supposed that there,
would be no material opoosBton to the rc
eiectiou of Bon. 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. Eckley, one
of the retiring members from Ohio, has bee a
generally settled upon as the one who will bt
supported by theoppouents of Mr. McPberson,
