FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT.

WASHINGTON, Sept II, 1877.
COLLECTOR ARTHUR IN wAsHINGToS-FAILURE
TO DISCOVER SENSATION
In the absence OF anything more exciting Just now,
In utterly dull condition OF things In Washington,
the presence OF Collector Arthur to-day was seized
upon with avidity US likely to furnish the newspaper
correspondents with something of sensation for their
Journals, and tho Collector in consequence sub
jcctei TO perpetual interview. He disclamcd, how
ever that there anything unusual or significant In
his visit TO secretary Sherman On tho contrary,
he was IN the habit OF coming onco month
or so to discuss details OF government business
at New York In connection with tho Custom
House, which could not very we'll be transacted
through tho medium OF tho mail This was all there
was in his presence here
To Of his many friends who expressed their fear
that tho President, making clean sweep OF the
Custom House chiefs, had done as the farmer did who
fred barn smoke the rabbit out Collector Arthur
replied that no roady to give up his place when-
ever II was wanted OF him. Hc dined this evcning
with Secretary Sherman, Mr. F.. W. Stouehton being
fellow guost and returned to New York by the night
train.
1t is thought his explanation OF the conduct OF al
fairs IN the weighcrs department of the Custom
House has been quite satisfactory to Secretary Sher
man and will strengthen the latter In his disposition
adopt the suggestions Of The special commission
