Hazeltow's majority for congress in tne Third district will port that Gen, B. F. Butler, while at i the supreme court had said there- | vised and corrected vote In New York | would sbow & mejority for Hancock. Two sm‘rloyu of the house stated th t they had heard Gen. Butler make the | sesertion, and alwo that the General | said be had just bet six_hendred dol- iJars that Hanco:k would be the next | president. The exciiement was in- creased by a report that Johu Kelly had telegraphed John E. Norris not to give up bets on New York, as the result was undecided. Investigation by a reporter made it probable that the rumor bhad grown out of a _state- ment made by Gen. Butler to the ef- fect that if the fraudulent votes in New York were thrown out, Hanoock would have a majority. COUNTING THE SPOILS. Special Dispatch to The Bes. ‘WasaiNeroy, November 6.—1 a. m.—The Star says: Secretary Mo- Pherson, of the republican congres- sional committee, yesterdsy claimed that the next house will have 150 re- publican oembers against a united opposition of 143, making a maj; of seven over This is based on the gains made as follows: Virgicia, North Carolina, Louisiana, Maine, Wisconsin, Missouri, West Virgioi Kentucky and Illinois, one ea nessee, and Tows, two each; sylvania 3. This makes a net repub- lican gain of sixteen members. From this is to be deducted the republican losses, as follows: New York, 4; Nevada and California one each, 1 av- ing a republican gain of ten mem- bers, which added to 14), makes 150. These figures, while oubtless good guesses, need confirmation. In Penn- sylvania Harry White is not yet out of the woods, neither is it entirely mie to claim the gain in West Vir- ginta, although the latest reports in- dicate that Wilson, democrat, is de- raach 3000; aud Caswell's, in the Sec- g-ted- The gain claimed in North ond, 2000, 1LLINOLS, Spectr Dispatch to Tux Ban. srolina needs confirmation, although the chances seem to be that Ketchum, democrat, in defeated.

Wasuixciox, November 6, 14, m. —Scmething of a sensation was cre. atel at the capi al yesterday by a re- dispatch to The Bee. WasHINGToN, D, C., November 6— 1a m.—It is understood that be- tween now and the meeting of con- grees the president will retire all the officers of the army and navy who are eligible for retirement. Ccl. Thos. F. Barr, now on duty in the office of secretary of war, will be appointed to the position of judge advocate, general of the army, vice Dann, to be retired. Col. Chas. H. Crave, as- sistant surgeon general, will b pro- moted to be surgeon general. Col. Crane was born in Rhode Island and appointed to the army from Massa- chusetts. Col. Barr was born in Massachusetts and sppointed from there. The story telegraphed from here about the retirement of Gen. Sherman is regarded in_army circles as_perfoctly absurd. The act pro- viding for the retirement of officera of the army does not apply to Gens. Sherman and Sheridan. The former isin id health and very fond of his position, and it {§ not a: all prob- able that he will ask to be placed on the retired list for many years to lm FOREIGN EVENTS.

The leagues have decided not to make a demon- stration, but to allow the lawyers to lodge their appearances in the usual legal and formal manner. In theaf ternoon the courts closed with- out the land leaguers entering their appearsnces, either at the crown of- fico or at the queen’s bench. The traverse's still have four dags in which to enter an appearance, aud it is posnible that they witl not do so un- til next week.

New Yorx, Novamber 5, 4 p. m.— The World (dem.) says: The situation in the country is not materialiy chang- ed this morning. Tho dewaocrats have Tennesseo logislature, which makes the sevate safe, even without California. The house is very close and the greenbackers may possi- bly hold the balance of power bstween the republicans and democrats. Gar- field’s majority will be about 14,000 The Sun (Ind ) says thai congress is still in doubt, the two parties being abou evenly divided in both houses. The greenbackers hold the balance of power in the house, and thereis a pos- sibility that they may hold it in the sonato. If tho republicans succeed in arganizing the house they will speed- ily increase their majority by ousting -membera from the south- ern states vhose seats may bo estimated. The house of rep- resentatives is composed of 203 raem- bers. The roll ismade up by the cleck of the preceding house whu holds over antil his successor is elect- ed. A majority consista of 146 mem- bors. Rsturns so far received foot up 146 democrats, counting Ladd snd Murch, of Maine and Smith, of New York, snd 146 republicans. Fivedis- iricts whiéh are given to thx~demacras, are yet in doubt, witlmake chances in favor of the demccraii candidates. Should that be the result, Murch, Ladd and Smith will hold the balance of power in the mext house. The senato also is close, although tia chances favor the return by the dem ocrats of & mojority. Thirty demo- cratic senators from the southern states and seven democratic senators from the _morthern states hold over, viz: MéPherson, of New Jersey; Pendleton, of Ohio; Voorhees, of Indiana; Davis, of Lllinois; Farley, of California; Slater, of Indiana; snd Grover, of Oregon. The Nevada legislatore will clect Fair (dem.) to succesd Sharon. If the democrats carried the Califoruia logislature as reported they will have a majority of two senators, exclusive of Mahone. 1 the California legislature is repub- Tican, snd Mahone acta with them, the sonate will be a tie, and Arthur will have a casting vote. ~Senator Grover, of Oregon, has been in poor health for a long time. His death would de- stroy the democrat majority. The Herald (Ind.) siys Garfield’s majority in the electoral college is 34, claiming Oalifornia for the republi- cavs. On the popular vote it says Hancock probably leads Garfield by 26,000. The house of representatives will certainly be republican by a ma- jority inside of 12. The senate is democratic. The Tribune (rep.) srys Garfield has 219 electoral votes, including Callfor- nis, and claims thenext president will have a working republican majority in the house to sustain him. The Times (rep.) also gives Garfield 219 electoral voles, including Califor- nia. It says Nevada is in_doubt, but congress will be controlled by repub- licans. Democrat or Republican? Special Dispatches to Twm Ba. Ricuxoxp, Va., November 5.—4 p. m.—Senator elect Wm. Mahone, of this state, was shown a telegram, asking him to state whether he would act with the democrats or republi- cans, and was requested to give an swer. He replied, “I won't do cither. I mean, I will neither reply to the telegram nor answer the questton.” Too Thin. Special dispatch to The Bee.

ATLaNTA, Ga., November 5—4 p. m.—Georgia has gone democratic by a egably reduced majority. The ority in 1876 was 80,000, wheress Hancock’s msjority is sbout 25,000. The congressmen are sll democrata. Colorado’s Column. Spectal Dispaton to The Lee. Dexver, November 5—4 p. m.— Reports from the mountain section and the_interior towns indicate that the republican majority for the entire ticket, excepting Gov. Pitkin, will be from 3000 to 3500. From private and sp:cial dispatches his own major- ity is estimated at from 500 to 2000 ahead of the state ticket. A GOOD SCHEME. Special Dispatch 1o Te Bee. Cricaso. November 5.—~A Wash- says: There is strong ong politicians of both pacties that the defeat of Hancock means the breaking up of the solid south in the culy fature. One of the most populsr of southern demo- crats mow iu this city eay “If 1 had my own way would cast the = 138 electoral votes of the south for Garfield and make the thing unanimous.” This idea takes like wildfire in Chicago, and_prominent gentlomos of both partios say that if the south would dow come up and cast their entire electoral vote for Garfield it would do more to inspire friendly feelings be- tween the north and south and do awes with sectional solidity than any- thing else that could passibly be done. The Banper Htate. 8pecial Dispateh to The Bos. Des Moises, Is., November 5.—4 . m.—The republican state commit- tee still estimate Towa at 80,000 ma- jority for Garfield and Arthur. The following are the returns of majorities for Garfield by congressional districts: First district, 5,000; second, 5,200; third, 3,402; fourth, 16,000, which claims to be the largest majority given by any congressional district in the union; fifth, 8,000; sixth, 7,000; seventh, 8,000; eighth, 10,000; ninth, 12,000. Four of the congressional districts are solid for Garfield. Every county in them giving him & major- ity. Only four counties of the ninety- nine in the state gave Hancock a majority over Garfield.
