YESTERDAYS DISPATCHES.
NEw YORK, July l6.

A Times Washington special says:
Combinations have been made and are
in among the Democratic
members of the Forty-fifth Congress
which clearly indicate that there will
be a very determined struggle over
the organization OF the next house.
The contest will not end with the Sc
lection of Speaker, but will be contin-
ued with great bitterness for the selec-
ton of other officers to be named in
caucus. The most formidable of the
combinations is the one which seems
to be entered into by members from
the Gulf States, embracing Democratic
Representatives from Alabama, Geor-
gia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North
Carolina, South Carolina and Texas.
They concede the Speakersbip to the
North, one of the principal offices TO
the Border States, and claim another
of the chief places for their selection.
The SIM has the following: Gigan-
tic operations have been projected and
com leted i'm the center OF the cOnti.
nent, and on the Pacific slope there are
dozens of railroads building, about
which we, in the far East, seam TO
know nothing. While Thomas A.
Scott is waiting for an appropriation
to continue the Texas Pacific, the Cali
fu~rnians. the Coloradians and the Nor
mons are pushing great railroads into
the UNEMPLOYED interior. In fact they
are actually thanking the Texas Pacific
and reducing that great transconti-
mental scheme to q mere branch OF the
roads that they are building. Already
the Southern Pacific is completed 500
miles from San Francisco TO Fort
Yuma on the Colorado river. Her Is
car loads of freight are met daily by
two steamboats,, n going 800 miles
up the Colorado almost to the new
Mormon city of st. George, where they
have Just dedicated a million dollar
temple, and the other going down the
river into the Gulf of California.

WASHINGTON, July Is.
No action has boon taken by the
War Department towards ordering
more troops away from the South.
The Second Infantry. recently on duty
at Atlanta. having been ordered West
o reinforce General Howard, but few
troops are left in the South. The
whole body of troops now stationed in
the Southern States, with the excep-
ton of those In Texas to operate
against Mexican marauders, does not
exceed 1000 or 1000 men. 1t is the
intention of the naval authorities to
arm all the best vessels with riied
ordnance as fast as it can be made.
The Government authorities are much
gratified with the sale of four per cents.

member of the Syndicate, in a private
telegram here to-day, says he thinks
the sales to morrow will reach 500,
600, 600.
w. Il. Matchlett and other parties
interested in procuring the removal OF
the Governorship of Mexico, are still
prosecuting their efforts vigorously
though apparently without making
much head way with the Administra
ton. Axtell broadly denies all charges
except that he wrote letters to the Sa !
Lake Herald over the signature of E
ID. Bispo. He asserts. however, that
he wrote them only for the entertain
ment of his friends, and his owu
amusement, and claims to be thor
oughly in accord with all other Fed
eral officers in New Mexico.
