The Organization Of the Next House.
An Inter. Oceans Washington special
says:y The election Of Warren Miller as
S3nator. to succlea :Ptatt was not expected
t6s the supporters 4f the Administration.
There i. Considerable speculation as to the
effect which the choice Of these gentlemen,
who are members Of the next House, tn be-
Senators vii. have upon the election of
Speaker and other officers Of the House:
After the election last fail the membership
Of the House was as follows: Total NUM-
Der Of Representatives. .Y,; Republicans
147; Democrats, 136: Grecnbackers, 9:
independent I. The independent is !.
Hyot. Smith, OF Brooklyn, who will vote
for a Republican candidate for Speaker.
Frve was elected Senator to succeed blaine
and the vacancy there has not been filled.
There are, or will be, four vacancies in
Republicans, Niz.:s, Morton, Miller and
Larham. No election has bees ordered in
the Mint, district, where a vacancy was
caused by the death OF Fernando Wood.
H. as 1t Is asserted, successors to Miller
and Lapham cannot be elected, and; quail
fed in time totake thcir, ,scats on the ist Of
December. the Grcenbackers win hold the
balance OF power. The Democrats here
profess great confidence in their ability to
elect successor to Morton, ana the loss
Of one vote would be seriously felt. The
Democrats however, are believed to he
reckoning without their host in placing
any reliance upon the Greenhackers. 1t is
hardly possible for the Greenbackers to
unite upon any candidate OF their own for
Speaker, and four Missouri Greenbackers--
have announced their intention OF voting
with the Republicans.

The New York Hcrald's Paris dispatch
has the following details Of Don Carlos ex.
pulsion from the country: Don Carlos and
| his wife attended the Henri CLING mass al
| st. German DIES Pres on Thursday. In
the church they were received with espc-
cial honors. Seats Of honor were reserved
for them In front Of the altar and at the
conclusion OF the services officials escorted
them from the church, to their manifest
clustered around the porch, "llats off, gen.
tlemen." What harm all this did is moi
very apparent, but decree Of expulsion
was, It seems, issued soon after.
