Mu. 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,

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. All persona de
siring 1130 best cheap piano in the market,

have consisted in tearing up a bedtick belong
.ing to Caroline, burning and blackening the
walls of the room with a candle, arid other
wise damaging Caroline's property. Warrants
were Issued. and the accused arrested by Offi
cer Mishit. After a hearing, Jemima desired
to withdraw the suit, which was subsequent
