All ol the Maine Kepublieans were ,'ibscnt. Geii-

having returned from Ohio. Mr. Sin;.'.eton of Mi**M--i.pi wa- also away, benin in MlMlaaippi lookingafter his Senatorial chances. Mr. -fringe, of Illi¬

nois, who went West about a week afro, had not re¬

turned. It was intimated to-day that he is lookingafter his mininj* iiiicit-sts in the vicinity of the Ute

Indian l'c-crvation. General Ewing, absence has

been cou-picuous ever since the MMiOB began, andfears are exnri setl that the October flood carriedhim ro far a wm* live he will not return at all. Mr.

Atkirs. chairman of the Appn-i>ilal OM Committee,is still a'<sent onaec .unt of illius.-, 1-ut his health isnow improving.In the illness of Mr. Atkins tho Democrats bare

found an excuse, for not bringing in the Maislials'1>i Geieney bill, winch has I >l yet been touched bythe. Appropriation! Committee. This ext use wouldbe a better one il it were not for thc fact that thecommittee has beea able ha report four of the regu¬

lar appropriation bills in spite of tbe absence of Mr.

Atkins, and tbree of them have aheady patM 1 theHouse. The truth of tho matter is that the Demo-crats have not yet been able to discover a way to

escape from the consequences of their blunders atthe Extra Ses.-ion. if they bring in thc Marshalsbill in tho sante form In which it WM vt toed las?Bpntlg, the nhl discussion will lu* at tuiee revived,and the more sensible Democrats want above nilHunt's to avoid that. If they leave, the objec¬tionable provisions out ol the bill, there ere two or

three score ot Democrats in tho House who will in-i- >t ..ii restoring tbem, .ind au attempt bv tbem todo so will not ouly revive the old discussion,but cause au open quarrel in the Demo-cratie party in ibo Houne. Nothing willbe done until tho Democrats have bald a

i .nie.ls an.l bound all their member*, to obey io* be*Bseta. 'Hinno wbo. r«-ni<->ii>h.r Mm .rent, of tbe Ex¬tra-session are baldly inclined to tne opinion thatthe decision of a Democratic caucus will beenywi-i r or more patriotic nOtv than it was Inst Spring.Hie House remained in session no longer than two

bon*** to-day.Most of the time was taken up by Itidiau aiTalr-*.

After some trouble, two resolutions reported by Mr.:- s frere adopted. The first authorizes the Dem*mitt-ee on Indian Affairs to Investigntc the orionaud causes of the I'te outbreak, and the second(alls for all correspondence between the InteriorDepartment and Agent Meeker, Governor I'itkin,General Hatch and otben relating to tho Ute In*Utans diiriuc the year 1879.Ihe House made no progress on tho report of the

Committee on Knits, there being n general indi-position to proceed with the discussion In tbe ab*tsenee of both General (iartield and Mr. Frye, whoconstitute tue minority ot that committee.

Washinoion, Jan. fl..--enator Hnnefa. deathleaves a vacancy lu the Senate Con.mit tee on Privi¬leges and Elections which will probably be filled bybis nuccessor, Mr. Luke Pryor, the law partner ofthe late Senator, the intelligence of whose appoint¬ment was received here today. Senator liou.touwas regarded hy hts colleat'iie. as a man who in¬

tended to be fair in his dealings even with politicalopponents npon political questions ; but ho waa ex-

te.ilniL'ly i tochety and tenacious of his views auda stickler for parliamtntary precedent, of which heconsidered himself an authority. H<- was thereforelither an obstruction than au aid to tho rapid tran¬saction of business.The Military Academy bill and the Fortification

Appropriations bill are nearly ready to bo reportedback from tbe Senate Appropriations Committee,and Senator Davis, the chairman, expects that theywill be. disposed of without cxti lided debate.A statement has been duly published to the effect

that tin-House Committee on Appropriations hasthe Anny bill nearly completed, (icneial Hawley,who is h. member of the committee, informed a Tkiu-DEBcoirc-'ioiiilt ut to-day thal this is an eiror, andthat while the sub-committee has done some workon the bill, it is onlv of a tentative character. Gen¬eral R*wl<-*- also said that he had just been informedthat the Conni-.ittcc on Military Affairs in cngacedupon a bill which will involve a reorganization oflin army to nome extent. Ibis bong the case, besaid the Arnie appropriation bil! would prob.iblyba held back until the fate of the reor.aiiizationbill had been determined. Tor a similar reason hethinks the District of Columbia appropriation billwill be retained bj tbe Mmmittec until it is knownwhether auy petters] legislation affecting tiieDi.*tin i will b euaeted at Hm. -Meeton.

t-t fetal .**narks, chairman of the Committee onMilitary .Minis, saul ibis evening thal a bill onarmy reorganization will be reported bjf Ins oom¬mittee tome tune thia eoiaion.
