The Cheyenne daily leader. [volume] (Cheyenne, Wyo.) 1870-1884, 1876-11-21

All the New York journals of Mon
lay express some solicitude at the con-
centration of troops at Washington.
The Herald says: The news we publish
to-day relative to the concentration of
troops at Washington will doubtless ex-
cite some comment. but it need not oc-
casion any alarm. The President and
his advisers claim it to be wise precau-
tion to have respectable body of troops
at hand until after the 4th of March,
Inauguration day. They don't fear any
outbreak or disturbance, but simply
provide for all possible emergencies.
Twelve batteries of heavy artillery al
together have been ordered to report to
Washington at once. Three batteries
areon theirway from Fort Leavenworth.
one arrived there Monday, and others
ire en- route from Fortress Monroe and
Fort McHenry, near Baltimore. 1t is
also asserted by undoubted authority
chat the order to Gen. Mcdowell to re-
port at once to his post in San Francis
CO has been revoked, and that he has
been instructed to remain instead in
New York, subject to immediate or
ders.
Four companies of the 4th artillery
arrived in Washington last Sunday
morning direct from. South Carolina,
and are now quartered at the arsenal.
They number $50 men, are under the
command of Capt. Loder, and went
there in pursuance of orders from Gen.
Sherman. None of the officers of Sher-
mans staff knew of their coming, and
profess ignorance of their future move
ments. On the 18th Sherman sent Col.
Bacon to South Carolina with sealed
orders for Capt. Loder t. move his COM
mafid to Washington without delay.
On receiving his orders Capt. Loder put
four companies in immediate motion
for Norfolk, at which point they were
embarked on a steamer and landed at
the arsenal at Washington, where pre-
parations for quartering them had al.
ready been made.

The Next House Of Representatives.

Officers of the House of Representa-
tives now in Chicago have been figuring
on the Congressional returns and re-
port that according to the returns re-
ceived up to Nov. 10th, there will be
l42 Republicans and 144 Democrats in
the House. Three districts in New
Hampshire are yet to elect, and two
Republicans and one Democrat are ex-
pected. Four districts are now in
doubt-one in Louisiana, one in Mis-
souri, and two in South Carolina. Esti-
mating that these doubtful districts are
divided equally between the two parties
the House will stand: Republicans 146
Democrats 147. Among the Democrats
is Alex H. Stephens, who is not expect
ed to be able to take his seat. This will
leave the House tie in his absence.
