KELLEY, of Pennsylvania, intro,,, (bleed in - Congreas on Monday a new Rey nine bill which was referred to the Com - mitten on Ways and Means:" ' • The first section provides that there shall be one Commissioner - with a salary if $6,000, a Deputy at a salary oftwo $4,500, assistants,. salaries each t 3,500 Solici and Cashier, salaries each ;3,000; Auditor, salary 44,000; Chief Clerk and seven heads of divisions, each $2,500; and not more than 210 clerks. Section second provides that the Commissioner shalt- be appointed by the As s ociate Justices .of the Supreme .Court by nomination of the Chief Justice. Section third authorizes and requites the Commissioner to appoint all his own deputies and clerks, and also all assessors, collectors, revenue agents, inspectors, and generally to exercise the power now vest ed in the President and the Secretary of the Treasury for this purpose. Section fourth provides that all incumbent officers' shall remain in office for sixty days after the passage of this bill, unless sooner re— lieved. This bill is not intended as a - political measure for the purpose of weak ening the President or diminishing his patronage, but the office is clearly a judic ial •one • , and requires an able executive _ head. This security is believed to be de ' mended by the financial 'and commercial interests of the nation, LETTER. FROM WAREING TON. Special Correspondence Pittsburgh Gazette. Wens:Norms, Dec. 2;:1866.

This proposition is strictly in accordance'with the Constitutiolf'as it stance, but whether it will prove acceptable to the Houses can not yet be determined.

Tom Priced sod Good—The Emerson • To meet the wants of the great number of persons who desire to possess a, piano, hut do not feel able to go to the expense of tile costli est make, and yet would have only a good substantial one, we have made a most careful examination of all the lowest priced pianos made in the United State,. The result Of this examination is that we have found those made by W. P. Emerson, fo r be the beet pianos for the price, and the cheapest good pianos that are made. They are most substantially built, on the soundest acoustic prmcipaist the wood is the best quality pronerly seasoned; the tone rich and pewerfnhand the touch easy and elastic; each one is provided' with the the fulliron frame,tud ov ratr ags.They taaliintntndwearwell inerezrr:ticuth is w e knwrrouactualexneece the Piano, and the more costly makes, is caused by the most rigid economy in the mataitac tore consistent • with excellence, 1 and ' by a saving of labor on them -- itetrts, which neither effect the -tone or durability. Wed° not pretend that the "Emerson't is tile lowest priced piano made; many can be bought at a leas price. Such pianos we do not keep., having found by our own and others experi ence that being vo poorly made they soon give way, lose their tone, become harsh and dim.. content; and give no satisfuetionto the owner, hot are a constant source of expense and an- - noyance. A piano of this kind is a bad in vestment, and really the dearest piano any one can idly. We do not and will not keep them formate. Finding the "Emerson . such a desirable piano, we at once secured the exelu live agency for them for Pittsburgh and ours rounding country, and haring made special. contracts for a regular weekly supply for a long time to come, wo can offer them at un usually advantageous rates.
