Excludinghe t 7 frem Georgia, tbere are 286n i the present Congress, andhese t are divided as follows—164 Republicans and 72 Democrats. Fromhe t States tbat have al ready elected members, tbe representation in the present Congress is 149 Republicans and 68 Democrats. For the next Congress the figures nowscertained a are 136 • Republicans and 82 Democrats. There remain to be elected twenty-six Representatives, fromhe t following States: California, 3; Georgia, 7; Mississippi, 6; Connecticut, 4; New Hamp shire, 3; Texas, 4. These State?, excluding Georgia, which bas no members in the pre sent House, areepresented r byifteen f Republi cans and four Democrats. If in the next House this proportion, 15o t 4 is maintained, the figures will be 150 Republicans, 86 Dem ocrats. If Georgia elects all Democrats, that would increase the Democratic side of the Houseo t 98. It is likely tlmt out of the 19 , members in the above list of States (Georgia excluded) the Democrats may gain four or fife, and hcrhaps out ofbe t 19 have 10. Con ceding all this, the next House will stand: Republicans .............................................. 145 Democrats... ........................................... 91 GeorgiaDem) ( ? ....................................... 7 <tnd at the best showing tbe Republicans Would have a majority of 47, which is ample for all practical purposes, and gives the Re publicansbe t organization of tbe House and a fair working majority. It is by no means unu sualor f a President to havehe t Congresslected e edin the middle of his term against him. Pierce and Buchanan found it so, and were met by such.speakers as Banks and Benning ton. Lincoln hadess l strength in his second Congress. Johnson was in perpetual hot wa ter with his. The Boston Advertiser notes the hold of tbe Republican Party bn the peo ple in retaining its ascendency as long, and With so littleoss l even In the minor contests. For twelve years it has controlled the popu- , latr branch of Congress, and its power there is assured for another term by a majority some what lesshan t the two-thirds of war and veto times, butarge l enough for all practical pur poses. T r u e B i n e . The oldown t of North Hempstead, ever true to the Republican party, gave heavy ma jorities at the last election for the Republican candidates, showing what work will accom plish. In this town, the Republican club are well organized, meeting once a montheguiar- r ' Jy duringiie f year. -Wouldt i not be-well for the other clubs in the county to take pattern firoili this club ? Would not the result at the next electionell t a different storyor f Queens ? We learnhat t Hr. Joseph D. Armstrong, of that town is a- candidate for Under Sheriff. Mr. A. is a hard working Republican, he de serves well of the party, and would make a capital deputy, being in every way qualified for the position. 2 9 3 0 t o n Theavgest l majoritynhe i t county of Queens givett to any ofthe candidates, (save that for County Clerk) in the late election, was given for that staunch Republican and honest man, Armstead C. Henry. ____ $1,000 .—We wotild advise Frank Baldwin, if he bas any money left, to buyhe i silence of the chaps in Jamaica, who undertook to en gineer his case and write for the New York papers.

Thousands of dollars are In this way lost every year. Another and caller way Is the registered letter system, Any sttm of money can he transmitted in a registered en velope for fifteen cents, andvery e postmaster in the United States is authorized to register letters. Government, however, does not hold itself responsible forhe t loss of such letters, and tbe only advantage the systemas h over the first-mentioned is its increased security. Registered letters, however, are rarely lost. The Postmaster General, in liis report foi- 1869, states that 8,672 registered letters were received at the dead-letter ofiice, which we presume to be about the total loss. . And a part of this loss may have been due to tbe sudden removal or disappearance of the sen der, or the person for whomhe t letter was destined. The third method, and the wisest andafest s of all, is by a moneyrder. o Since it has been introduced, tbis plan' has met with growing approval and patronage, and nearly every post office of note in the United StateBas h been made a money-order office. The report of Postmaster General Ores well for 1869hows s that there are 1,685 of these offices nowin operation, and that 219 were created duriDg that year. Over 1,264,000 money orders weressued, i of the value of $24,840,058.93, and 1,248,874 orders were paid, leaving or ders ofhe t value of $103,935 uncalled for by tlie persons for whomhe t money was intend- ed. The Government is, of course, good for the amount specifiedn i an order. The sum not paid over in 1869 was about four-fifths of oue per cent, of the total value of the orders in that year. Orders are valid for only one year, but du plicates will bossued i without charge, by the remitting office, upon the application of the payee or sender of tho original, provided the applicant presents a certificate fromhe t post master on whomhe t order was drawn, and statinghat t it had not been and would not be paid. The fees charged on money orders are as follows.—Onllsums a of oue dollar or upward, not exceedingwenty t dollars, ten cents; for sums more that twenty and not over thirty dollars, fifteen cents; for sums of morehan t thirty and not exceeding forty dollars, twenty cents; for sums exceeding forty and not over fifty dollars, twenty-five cents. No single or der for more than fifty dollars issued, and not morehan t three orders/are given for the same payee at the same officen i one day; and but one order for sums between twenty and fifty dollars for the sutne payee is granted to the remitter. The-given \ name” of the applicant must bo written in full, with the surname, alsohe t given name of the payee, if known, otherwise the initials. The given names of married women must always he written in stead ofhose t ofheir t husbands. As yet nonternational i postal money order system has been adopted, except that with Switzerland, which was arranged in Septem ber, 1869. The general rules are the same as those given above, but to Ihe regular fees must be added the charges for exchange, which are respectively twenty, thirty, forty, and fifty cents (ia gold) for orders of $1—20; $20—30; $30—40; snd $40—50. The plan ofthe money-order system is so simple, the securityo s ample, and its accessi bility so general as to cammendtself i to every one. Postmaster General Creswell says oi! it tbat— “The great and constant increase, from year to year, in theransactions t of the money- order systemlearly c indicates its utility as a safe, convenient,, aud expeditious mode of making small remittances, and shows that it is steadilyncreasing.ia i favor withbe t public, as practical experience demonstrates its ad vantages. I regard it as thoroughly estab lished, andecommended r its universal use by the theeople p wherever practicable.” ■Withheacilitiesffordedy t f a b theegistered- r letter and money-order systems, it is simply a foolishisk r for people to send moneyo t news paper offices by ordinary letter. The cost of a money-order is so small, that offers no valid reason for the trouble that is usually occasion ed byhe t loss of amounts sent byetter. l ' “ H o n e s t y v s .

The Presbyteiy unanimously sustainedhe t exami nation, which was in all respects satisfactory. In the afternoon of said day, the Presbytery proceededo t ordain the candidate tohe t work of the ministry byhe t “laying on of hands,” and at the sameimenstalled t i the Rev.

The Long Island Bible Society held their 55th anniversary, at Hempstead, on Tuesday evening, in the Methodist church, Judge Lott the president, in the chair. The meeting was largely attended. The annual reports of the secretary and treasurer were read, showing the condition ofthe society and treasury both to be flourishing—the recept being about $2,- 800.

Inhe t afternoon the usual meeting of directors was held, a large number of whom were present, andhe t usual business of the so ciety transacted.

It has been a year of almost boundless prosperity to the people of the Uaited States. The earth has groaned with her burden of vigetation. No pestilences have swept over the land, and peace and plenty -have everywhere aboun- . ded. Under our manifold blessings, is it not the part of wisdoms a well as gratitude, that we earnestly and cordially respond to the •Pteaident’s “invitation to recognize the DU vine hand, in all the priceless and precious blessingahat t have been bestowed upon us as a nation?” In accordance with the previous custom, it-is expectedhat t union services will beheld, onhat t day, and we understand It to be the wish of manyhat t theervices s be held In the Presbyterian Chureh,fsnd that Rev.

Taking a great interest in such move ments I paid a visit toheirst t f Directress of the Sewing Society, and Offered to donate my mite to fhe cause. Shenformed i me that she had alreadyeceived r ninety-nine pincushions seventy-fiveidies t and fifty-one pairs of slip, pers, and said that the greatest favor I could confer upon her, would be to write a notice for insertion in your paper, requesting thee r presentatives of the fair sexo t taxheirnven t i tive powers, and endeavor to produce some new and strange articles, which have never yet been offered for sale at a fair. There is a Temperance Society in Aciamaj, and 1mree a f to confess that its members are the most intemperate portion of the cotnmu- nity. They are in the habit of holding mid night revels, at whichargo l quantities of cider iu a condensed formrc a consumed, andven e the clergy and other serious, grave, stonyook- l -ing men, take an active part in theestivities. f I had a great curiosity-to look in uponhem, t but myegular r habits would not permit.

(Referring no doubt tohe t amiable wife of the estimable postmaster.)' One day when strolling about the side streets of theown, t 1 came upon a neat little building, which I discoveredohehe t - t chapel of a small body of Christians, whoaveately h l commenced worshipping beneath its .oof. r Anxious to find out all about them, and their affairs, ! attended the next Sunday services, and was agreeably surprised to fiud myself listening to a talented, energetic preacher, laboring zealouslyor f the salvation of souls. One of the devoted servants of Christ, who are willing to workn i a remote corner of his vineyard, until the Great Master calls, “come up higher.” Duringheatter t l part of mytayn s i Aciamaj the youngolks f were very much interestedn i arranging for private theatricals, and wishing to encourage their efforts, (the proceeds were to pay tbe debts of an aged indigent friend). I purchased a ticket and honored the enter tainment with my presence, bad a goodime, t and make great reckoning of being on hand when a similar display shall occur. The crowning event; whichranspired t the day be fore I started for home, was the ordination of the new minister, of whom I wrote in myast l epistle. Avery large and attentive congre gation assembled to witness the solemn and impressive ceremonies, and the day will he longemembered r by many. Yet it was not an occasion which-brought only pleasure and satisfaction, there were many sad and tender memorieshronging, t many thoughts of those who hadaught t and ministered tohiapeople, t whose voices are nowushed h iuhe t grave, andhe t presence of the former pastor brought mingled joy and sorrowo t the hearts of his friends, and many a silent prayer ascendedo t the throne for God’s blessingo t rest upon him and his.
