The House Committees.
Especial to the Boston Advertiser. !

WASHINGTON, Oct. 29.-There is the usual
grumblng over the committees, but the majority
think the speaker has done as we'll as his party
and the house ould expect. The striking point
is that the South is given great preponderance,
having eighteen chsirmanships, while the West
has nine and the East only five, and none of these
in New England. Of the financial committees
the banking and currency goes to the West and
the ways and means to New York. The East has,
besides the latter. only the Pacific railroads, agri-
culture, manufactures and mines and mining.
The West has only the banking and currency,
public lands, District of Columbia. war claims
military AFFAIRS Territories, Presidential election
and two minor committees; all the rest goes
South. The two changes causing the most talk
are the removal Of Morrison from the ways and
means, and S. s. Cox from the banking and cur
rency aud rules. Few wonder at the selection of
another in the place OF Morrison, but putting
Mr. Cox OF the rules in addition to his main COM
mttees is generally criticised. The ways and
means is q moderate tariff committee, the bank
ing and currency for modification certainly, and
probably repeal of the resumption act. The
appropriations are economical; military affairs
against increasing the army; coinage, weights
and measures for dollar with full legal tender
attachment The Pacific railroad is claimed both
by the friends and opponents of the Texas and
Pacific. The probabilities are that the committee
will report bill to aid the road but much less
favorable to it than the road wants. Generally
speaking, the republicans are very we'll satisfied
with their assignments.

The Great Victory In Iowa,

The Des Mones Iowa) Register of the oath inst
has the following figures, showing the thorough
ness of the republican victory in that State 1--WE
have received the official figures of the vote on
Governor from 96 of the 80 counties of the State
The three counties of which we have not the off ..
cial figures are Dickinson, Lyon, and Palo Alto.
They will add to Gears plurality over Irish about
400. making it about AZ 400 in all, which is large
enough to do, being nearly twice as large as Car
penters last majority fol- Governor, and ird
larger than the majority for Klrkwood for Gov
ernor two years ago. This is doing pretty we'll
for an off year and. with the republican majority
Of II votes in the Legislature, is doing grandly.
II keeps Iowa still the banner State of the repub
lcan column. The total poll Of the State was
some 245 900 votes. The rest of the republ lean
State ticket aside from Gear had some III 900
votes more than Mr.. Gear received; while Mr.
Gear lacks 1886 votes-with the unreported coun-
ties to add-of majority over all, the rest of the
republican State ticket has clear majority over
the field of at least 20 000 the Prohibition people
having no candidates against the other candidates.
So that in fact the average majority of the repub-
licsn party over its ancient enemy, the democra-
cy, is nearly ss large as it was last year"
Daily Kennebec journal., 1877-10-31

The Gazette says: at will be seen that the to-
tai falling off from the vote of last fall is 1920
The losses mot considering the irregular voe) are
divided as follows democratic, 81 ,557 republican
81, ,753-an excess of republican loss Of over 3d.
600. Mr.. Bishop, who pulled the party through
came within 81 ,557 votes of polling its full
strength. Mr.. John G. Thompson,t to whose splen-
did ability as an organizer the victory has also
been ascribed, lacked only 81 1857 of getting ont
the party vote. And his share in the wonderful
result brought him fat Office from the democrat
ic majority in Congress without an opposing vote
Had Mr.. Thompson succeeded in doing the work
that he modesty claims that he did, the democrat
ic majority would have been exactly "A, 237. An
other feature of interest is the vote for Lieutenant
Governor. Mr.. Vogelsr, who was expected TO
hold the German steady, runs 6,6lS behind Judge
West, who was thought by many to be obnoxious
to the Germans on account of his temperance
record. In Hamilton county Mr.. Vogelsr polled
about 200 more votes than West though he ran
over 400 behind johnson, republican candidate for
Supreme Judge. johnson, in the entire State,
ran ahead of West {, SOL One thing is evident
one republican out of every four did not chose to
vote, and one democrat out of every six kept
away from the polls. There are data upon
which to estimate closely the proportion of loss
