WASHINGTON , November G , 1 a. ro. -Something of a sensation was cre- ' -1 at thecaphal yesterday by o.re- port that Gen , B. F. Butler , while at the supreme couit had said the re vised and corrected vote In New York would show a majority for ILmcock. Two employes of the house stated th 1 they had heard Gen. Bullcr'make the assertion , and also that the General said be had jnat bet BIX hundred dollars lars that Hancok would be the ucit president The eiollement was in creased by a report th t John Kelly had telegraphed John E. Norris not to give up bets on New York , aa the result was nndecided. Investigation by a reporter made it probible that the rumor had grown out of a state * ment made by Gen. Butler to the ef fect that if -fraudulent votes in New Yortk were thrown out , Hancock would h'ave a majority. COUNTING THE SPOILS. Special Dispatch to The Bo * . WASHINGTON , November 6. 1 a. m. The Star Bays : Secretary Me- Pherson , of the republican congres sional committee , yesterday claimed that the next house will have 150 re publican mcmberi against a united opposition of 143 , making a majority of seven over all. This is based on the gains made as follows : Virginia , North Carolina , Louisiana , Maine , Wisconsin , Missouri , West Virginia , Kentucky and Illinois , one each ; Ten nessee , and Iowa , two each ; Penn sylvania 3. This makes a net repub lican gain of sixteen members. From this is to be deducted the republican losses , as follows : New York , 4 ; Nevada and California one each , 1 av- ing a republican gain of ten'mem bers , which added to 140 , makes 150. These figures , while doubtless good guesses , need confirmation. In Penn sylvania Harry White is not yet out of the woods , neither is It entirely saf to claim the gain In West Vir ginia , although the latest reports in dicate that Wilson , democrat , is de bated. The gain claimed in North Carolina needs confirmation , although the chances seem to be that Ketchum , democrat , is defeated. * .Assuming , however , that these claims are rroneous , and that the republicans iave none of the districts in doabt , ; he figures will stand republican , L47 ; united opposition , 146 ; a clear najority of ono over all opposition , .f Congressman Frye , of Maine , IB lot elected to succeed Senator Ham- in , his chances for the speakership of : he house will be excellent. Mr. &unon , of Iowa , is also mentioned or the spoakewhip Mr. Edward HcPherson , the late clerk of the louse , it Is said-is again willing to ac cept that trust The position of sor- geant-at-arms is open for a scrub- race. Frank Sherwood , a one-legged inion veteran , who was assistant ioor-keeper of tha house when un- ier republican control , will be a for midable candidate for the door-keep * er'a place. Mr. Baxton , the old in cumbent , is dead. Ex Senator Dor- ey , It is said , would like to succeed Secretary Birch as secretary of the cnaio. _ TK t. jen u will ju uba- fclconsist of thirty-nine democrats and'thirty-seven republicans. This includes both Mahone and David Da vis as democrats. Either of them , if they act with the republicans , can give that party control "of its organi zation and the commissions pa tronage. The republicans claim that Mahone will act with them in con sideration of his having at his dis posal the fedcrd patronage. As to the committees of the next houeo the more prominent will probably have the following chairmen : Elections , Keifer , of Ohio ; ways and means , Conger , of Michigan ; appropriations , Hubbel , of Michigan ; banking and currency , Crepe , of Massachusetts ; Pacific railroads , Harmer , of Penn sylvania ; public lands , Washburn , of Minneiota ; post offices and post roads , Ketchem , of New York ; District of Columbia , Neal , of Ohio ; judiciary , Reed , of Maine ; Indian affairs , Pcand , of Wisconsin ; military af fairs , Harris , of Massachusetts ; for eign affairs , Rico , of Massachusetts ; patents , Ward , of Pennsylvania. The belief among republicans is that Pres ident-elect Garfiuld will call the house and the senate in extra session the 5th of next March for reorganization , as is always the custom , to confirm his cabinet and such other nomina tions as he may have to make. Ma jor Swayne , judge advocate of the army , is put down to succeed Mr. R > dgers as private secretary. Ho haf attended to the personal corres pondence of Gen.

Ipedtl ditpatch to The Bee. WASHINGTON , D. 0. , November 6 I a. m. It Is understood that be- .ween now and the meeting of con- jrets the president will retire all the jfficera of the army and navy who are eligible for retirement. Ccl. Thos. P. Barr , now on duty in the office of secretary of war , will be appointed to the position of judge advocate , general of the army , vice Dnnn , to bo retired. Col. Chas. EL Crane , as sistant surgeon general , will be promoted meted to be surgeon general. Col. Crane was born in Rhode Island and appointed to the army from M&ssa- : husetts. Col. Barr was born fn Massachusetts and appointed from there. The story telegraphed from here about the retirement of Gen. Sherman is regarded in army circles u perfectly absurd. The act pro viding for the retirement of officers of the army does not apply to Gens. Sherman and Sheridan. The former Is in splendid health and very fond of bis position , and it II not a' all prob able that ho will ask to be pliced on the retired list for many years to : ome. FOREIGN EVENTS.

The World ( dem. ) says : The situation in the country is not materially chang < ed this morning. The democrats have secured the Tennessee legislature , which makes the senate safe , even without California. The house ia very cloEC and the greenbackers may possi bly hold the balance of power between the republicans and democrats. Gar- field's majority will be about 14,000 The Sun ( Ind ) says thai , congress IB still in doubt , the two parties being about evenly divided in both houses. The greenbackers hold the balance of power in the house , and there is a pos sibility that they may hold it In the senate. If the republicans succeed in organizing the house they will speed ily increase their majority by ousting members from the south ern states 7hose seats may be estimated. The house of rep resentative * is composed of 293 mem bers. The roll is made up by the clerk bf the preceding house who holds over until his successor ij elect ed. A majority consists of 146 mem bers. Returns so far received foot np 14G democrat * ) , counting Ladd and March , of Maine and Smith , of New York , and 146 republicans. Fiyodia- trictu vhi h are Riveii tothrtclemocrws are yet in doubt , witlr\'ie chances in favor of the demccrath candidatea. Should that bo the result , Mnrch , Ladd and Smith will hold the balance of power in the next house. The senate also is close , although UB chances favor the return by the dem ocrats of a majority. Thirty demo cratic senators from the southern states and seven democratic senators from the .northern states hold over , viz : McPherson , of New Jersey ; Pendleton , of Ohio ; Voorhees , of Indiana ; Davis , of Illinois ; Farley , of California ; Slater , of Indiana ; and Grover , of Oregon. The Nevada legislature will elect Fair ( dem. ) to succead Sharon. If the democrats carried the California legislature as reported they will have a majority of two senators , exclusive of Mahono. If the California legislature ia repub lican , and Mahone acts with them , the senate wi > l be a tie , and Arthur will have a casting vote. Senator Grover , at Oregon , has been in poor health for a long time. His death would de- troy the democrat majority. The Herald ( Ind. ) says Garfield's majority in the electoral college is 34 , claiming California for the republi cs. On the popular vote it says Hincock probably leads Garfield by 26,000. The honae of representatives will certainly be republican by a ma jority inside of 12. The senate is democratic. The Tribune ( rep. ) si > ys Garfield has 219 electoral votes , including Califor nia , and claims the next president will have a working republican majority in the house to sustain him. The Times ( rep. ) also gives Garfield 219 electoral voles , including Califor nia. It says Nevada ia in doubt , but jongress will be controlled by repub- icans. Democrat or Republican ?

A Wasji- fngion special says : There is &iroilg conviction among politicians of both parties that the defeat of Hancock means the breaking up of the solid south in the ctuly future. One of the moat popuUr of southern demo crats now in this city enya : "If I had my own way I would cast the 138 electoral Votes of the south for Garfield and make the thing unanimous" This idea takes like wildfire in Chicago , and prominent geutldmu : ) of both parties say thit if'the south would iiow come up and * cast their entire electoral vote for Garfield it would do more to inspire friendly feelings be tween the north and south and do awp with sectional solidity than any thing else that -could possibly ba done.
