The other Western States contribute nearly a quarter of a million more, bringing up the grand total in the free States to one million and a hay! Surely this is a power in the land not to be sneered at, impeached, or in any way disregarded, whatever - hot-headed partisans may say. It is a party that has worked persistently —not as a party, but as patriots—to restore the country—and it will not be without a powerful and influential voice in this matter. The an . glories now are that the practical restoration of the Union may not be far off, and this fact should induce all good conservative men to re new their energies and be frequent in their counsels, so that we may not shipwreck as we seem nearer the haven of safety—the old Con stitution and the restored Union.

The Standing Committees of the Senate and House were announced on Monday last, and the same excessively unfair partiality toward the minority in both branches, which made the Com mittees of the last House a disgrace to the party in power, is apparent in their construction. In the Senate, the Chairmanships of all the impor tant Committees aro given to ?iew-Englandere. Thus, SUMNER, is Chairman on Foreign Rela tions ; EVESENDEN on Finance ; WILSON on Mili tary Affairs ; HALE en Naval Affairs ; Cl/LLANO& on Post Offices, and SO on. Mr, finexamsw, the 1 new Senator from Pennsylvania, whose legal learning, ability and experience as a legislator peculiarly fit him for useful service on such Committees as those of Foreign Affairs, Finance or Judiciary, is placed at the tail end of the cemparatively unimportant Committees on Post Offices, Indian Affairs, and Pensions. Mr. COWAN has the third place on Finance, and the Chair manship on Patents, which is better, but by no means equal to his deservings. In the 1101180, THAD. STEVENS is Chairman (and the only Pennsylvanian) on Ways and Means; DAWES, of Mass., Chairman on E 10OtiOne ; WASH BURN, of Illinois, on Commerce;JULlAN, of Indi ana, on Public Lands ; ALLEY'. of Mass., on Post Offices; Wagon, of lowa, on the Judiciary; Sousncrt, of Ohio (the late Military Dictator of . Maryland), on Military Affairs ; Rios, of Maas., on Naval Affairs; Wilms DAVIS, of Maryland, on Foreign Affairs ; ASHLEY of Ohio, on Terri tories ; and so on. The Pennsylvania Adminis tration members, in addition to the Chairman ship on Ways and Means, have three other un important Chairmanships - distributed among them, namely ; Ham, on Claims ; Truman, on Private Land Claims; Moon.nuen, on Manufac tures ; anti MYERS, on Expenditures of Treasury Department. The Democratic members arc can utiouely disposed whoro they can do the Admin iitration no possible harm. Mr. Ancona, the Representative of this District, is on the Com mittees on Manufactures and the Militia. Tho fulll isle of the Committees are too long for our present crowded columns. BUPPLIE6 TO UNION ra/50:11A5 REFUSED 131 r THE REBEL AUTHORITIEL—The report published a few days ago, upon the authority of a telegram from Oen_ Rutter, that the Rebels had refused to allow any more supplies to go to Union prison— ers at Richmond, is fully confirmed by a letter of the Rebel Commissioner of Exchange, Robert Ould (printed in The Richmond Dispatch) to Gen. Meredith, the Federal Commissioner, dated Dec. 11. Mr. Ould says : " As the assent of the Confederate Government to the transmission by your authorities and peo ple of food and clothing to the prisoners at Rich mond and elsewhere has been the subject of so much misconstruction and misrepresentation, and has been made the occasion of so much vili fication and abuse, I am directed to inform you that no more will bo allowed to be delivered at City Point. The clothing arid provisions already received will be devoted to the use of your prig oners. When that supply is exhausted they will receive the snide. rations as our eoldiere iu the field." This ungettm sus decision of course places it out of the power of the Northern friends of our sol diers who are confined in the loathsome Southern prisons, to send them any further relief. The only thing that can now be done for them is for the people; with one voice, to demand of the President their immediate exchange, letting the " everlasting nigger question" to be decided hereafter. It is a monstrous and inhuman out rage—we can give it no milder name—to allow the thousands of white soldiers litho have brave ly encountered the enemy in the field, to lan• guish in the filthy and disease-engendering pris ons, suffering the pangs of cold and hunger, when they might be inetantly retyped, but for the persistence of the leaders of our Government in demanding that the few of their petted negro soldiers who have chanced to be taken prisoners, shall be recognized and treated by the Rebel Government as on an equality with white men. " Is MARVEL'S" NEW BOWL—A new book by " lk Marvel" is a marvelous good thing, partic ularly at this season, when a good book is doubly welcome. We therefore give thanks to that most liberal of New-York publishers, Mr. C. Scribner, for sending forth, with the advent of Winter, " Af,y Farm of Edyewood : A Country Book."-- by our old favorite, "Ik blarvel,"—printed and bound in a style to make the book-worm's eyes wafer. It is written with all the depth of feel ing and purity of sentiment which constituted the peculiar tharm of the author's earlier writings, but conveys also sound practical les sons for those who lead a country life, gathered from his maturer experiences. Mr. Scribner has also earned our thanks for the issue of new and elegant pocket editions of "Reveries of A Bachelor" and "Dream Life," by the tame anther, pith the addition of new pre faces. Two more charming "books of the heart," as we may properly call them, were never written. We envy the generation that. bay grown into young man- and maidenhood since they were first published, the delight that a first reading of them will afford. LOBOTELLOWO New Porns.—The latest and most welcome advent in the literary world, is Longfellow's new book of Pooms—.. Taloa of a. Wayside Inn"—jast issued in beautiful style, by those generous publishers of all that is tasteful, pure and classic, Messrs. Ticknor & Fields, of Boston. The author has chosen the parlor of an old Inn for his scene, where, on u cold autumn night, he assembles in a truly artistic group around the fire, his characters—The Landlord, a Student., a Spanish Jew, a young Sicilian, a Musician, a Cambridge Theologian, and a Poet— each of whom tells a characteristic story in verse. They are introduced to the reader in a charming prelude, and the poems are connected by grace. ful interludes, in which the comments of the fire. side circle are introduced. We give a few extracts from these, on the first page, which will be enough to afford our readers a taste of the quality of this universally admired volume. Nothing bettor could be selected for a Christmas gift to a friend who appreciates intrinsic merit more than sumptuous binding and pretty pictures. Ber HARM ,. MACIAMNE for December— commencing tl,o 28th volume—has reached us rather late, but not the less welcome. It is a splendid number in all respects. It opens with two poems—" Saint Christopher" and " Twilight on Sumter"—beautifully illustrated. The in teresting series of "Scenes in the War of 1812," and " Pictures of the Japanese," also illustrated, are continued. The short Stories in this Num ber, are numerous, and particularly good. Then there is an able biographical notice of Prescott, the great Hieterieu with other papers of supe rior merit; and last of all, the " Editor's Drawer," wellfilled with bon mots of the spiciest sort. There is no Magazine that approaches, or can approach limper's, in the variety of, its contents : the pro fesion and beauty of its engravings, or the excellence, of its typography. Subeoribo for it, now. BANK RA/EBERT AND Alunnza.—The Malden Bank of Massachusetts, near Boston, was entered at noon on Tuesday, and the son of the President, being alone there, was murdered, and the Bank robbed of about ii 5,000.

The committee, in eonfining their salon to the salaries of the teachers of the Primary and Secondary Schools, were well aware that the reasons aeetgnod to asking for an increase of :salary apply also to those of higher grades. They have to say, however, in justification of their action, that the funds of the Board would not admit of any very large increase of expenditure without embarrassment. They have therefore confined their action to those salaries that were more manifestly imadeqoate; and which, there fore, demanded more urgently an Increase. The Committee recommend that this increase &mammies ou the first of January, 1884. They would further nay that the gross amount of the increase for the current year, will be about $1,120 00.
