SPECIAL TO THE EUREKA DAILY SENTINEL.


Organization of the Next House.
New YORK, March 8.
The Inns Washington correspondent
says The principal anxiety among Demo-
Gratis, in regard to the organization of the
House, still turns upon the fear that some
Of their members will be kept away by i'll
ness. In spite of the emphatic assertions
to the contrary, this is still a serious dam
ger. Arrangements have been made to
run q special car, fitted up for the use OF
the invalids, to accommodate Bland, Sin
gleton and Lay from st. Louis. Tele-
grams received to-day make it probable
that these men will come, although they
will make the trip at the risk of their
life. Some apprehension is felt as to
Whitaker, of Oregon, to whom several
kilograms nave been sent so far without
e~liciting any answer.
Fears of Losing a Democratic Vote
The Presidents Position.
New York, March 8.
The "World's" Washington correspond
ent says: The Democratic member elect
from Oregon has not been heard from, in
response to repeated Geographic inquiries,
but he probably left to day for Washing
ton. 1t will take him fully ten days to
reach this city, and his vote alone is in
doubt.
1t is asserted, positively. that the Presi-
dent informed a Republican Congressman
that he would not oppose the repeal Of the
Act in regard to the use of troops at cleo
tons, and points to his record in Louisiana
and South Carolina, to show that he can
not do it. As to the Supervisors law,
however, he is determined to adhere to it,
believing, or at least asserting, it to be a
protection of the purity Of the ballot, and
the like. and he loudly threatens that he
will veto any legislation proposing its re-
peal.

Of the Nez Perces and Sioux, in violation
Of treaty obligations, and the recent raid

tice is enforced by the strong arm of the

change the present threatening aspect in
