 Political Complexion Of tho House. , WAsHISGrox, November 22.-SinC - the election in New York, it has bee
 claimed that there were l44 straight k s publican members of the next House, no n | withstanding the defeat of Astor. II 2 list of members, as made up by the c
 ficers of the House Of those who are e b titled to draw pay only contains | n straight Republicans, or one short of e majority over all. They are from dltfe D ent States, as follows: California. 7; C orado. l; Connecticut, 6; Illinois, .t Indiana, s; Iowa, 9; Kansas, 3; ke if tuckv. l: Louisiana, 1; Maine, 6; Mar V land, 3: Massachusetts, 10; Michigan, e Minnesota, 3: Nebraska, l; New Ham
 shire. 8: New Jersey, 1; New York, ] n North Carolina, l; Ohio, r.; Oregon. e Pennsylvania. Is; Rhode Island. ?; Te al uessee. 8: Vermont, 8; Virginia, g: W .e consin. 6. This Is the list of Repub D. cans, as they will be recognized at | " organization of the House. There a
 l46 straight Republicans, $ GreenbaC lt CTS. ReadIusters, and l lndepende ,s Republican, Smith, of Brooklyn. It i'm almost certain of the Greenhacke ,e the , Readiusters and Smith will V, s- with the Republicans, which will lea .e them 10 majority. The project Of o. tempting a coalition between the Den la crass and the Greeubackers to secl
 the organization seems to have be
 abandoned. Nearly 34 member, ot e- House are in Washington and Of th .d only 2O are Republicans and ot these in | Republicans Sare candidates for Speas b. so it is evident that not much pro4r
 has vet been made in the canvass. ro the candidates talk hopefully, but ~ truth IS none can give any estimate Il the votes they will get outs.de of tL Ls respective States.
