THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.

After the 12eeess-The Senate to Reas- sembIe TO-Day-Gsossip About the Cabi- net-A Movement Secure a Place for LOngstreet. WASHINGTON, Oct. 2O.-President Arthur | is expected to reach this city from Yorktown l tomorrow morning. The Senate comes in again at noon. No important nominations ! are expected before Saturday. It is thought 1 Cabinet nominations will then be sent in, | though no surprise would be occasioned by
 delay until Monday. The session of the Sen ate will close about the middle of next week. ] Whoever will be named for the new Cabinet will be promptly confirmed There is no
 hitch over any nomination in the Senate ex- cept in the case of Colonel Dudley and the an- tagonism against him will not keep the Sem ate in protracted session over his case. The Democrats will make no attempt to elect 8 Secretary of the Senate and the Republicans are quite willing to let the matter go
 over until next December. Among the vacancies likely to be filled are
 the Governorship of Arizona, vice Fremont resigned, the first assistant postmaster gen. eralship. vice Tyner about to resign. The
 latter place is said to have been promised
 Frank Hatton, of the Burlington H0aoheye.
 The Cabinet makers bring forward a few new
 names. Ex-Senator Sargent, of California,
 is now strongly talked of for place, prob ably the Navy Several telegrams have been
 received from prominent southern Republi- cans, and especially from Lou
 isiana, protesting against the reten- tion of Secretary Hunt and recommending General Longstreet as man who would be much more acceptable to the Republicans of the South If these are acted on Sargent is thought to stand good show for the Navy, with Longstreet for Postmaster General after James has been retired. MT. Boutwell, is still talked of for Attorney General and Howe for the Interior. Bowe's friends say he is sure of place. Frelinghuysen's security as Secretary of State is conceded. Lincoln is expected to remain, and it is thought the President has not settled in his own mind the Treasury problem.
 Scoville's argument concerning witnesses
 in the Guiteau case will be heard tomorrow and counsel will be assigned to assist in the defense.
 The witness who was to show how Giro Mrs. Christianey's alleged paramour, manu- factured evidence against her in the suit for divorce appeared here in court today in the person of Miss Mary Chamberlain, who says she is 8 seamstress. She looks nothing like Mrs. Christiancy. She says she had known Giro about three months in New York when he wished her to help him out in an af- fair in this city which he promised should

Giro having preceded her met them in the Baltimore and Potomac depot and they held a lengthy con- versation, in which programme was map ped out and he went out and showed Good win the route. She proceeded to the corner of Third and c streets, near the residence of Mrs. Christiancy. few minutes later Giro approached in 8 carriage and d1 she walked toward the house. She met him as he left the carriage and together they entered the hall of Mrs. Ckristiancy,s residence. After hurried conversation they came out together and went to the St. James
 Hotel. Here they retired to room. In a little while Giro's conduct became familiar and she resenting his advances made him angry and his talking was so loud it brought waiter to the door. She declined to remain in the room any longer, claiming that her part of the arrangement had been carried out and she would go back to New York. He told her she was not yet through, gave her $50 and said that to make the plan com plete she was to return to the house in 8 hack and would meet her friend in the same spot where she left him and he could return
 with her. She rode back to the residence, left the carriage, entered the vestibule, came out, walked to the corner, met Goodwin and I together they went to the-depot and took the | next train for New York Mrs. Chrfstiancy's counsel claim that this efectually disproves the charge of adultery based on Mrs. Christiancys alleged visit to the St. James l Hotel in company with Giro on Christmas, 1879.
 An Ohio man called at the Treasury de- partment this afternoon with bonds amount ing to $17, ,500. and asked gold for them. He was offered draft, but refused it saying the l bonds called for gold and he wanted it. He was then told the draft was good as gold in any bank, but he still insisted on getting gold. The amount was then counted out to him, filling large satchel. The weight was
 so great that he could hardly carry it. For protection the police were called in. It is thought he is crank on the gold subject. An examination will be made in regard to his mental condition. Quite crowd of clerks
 and others gathered in the cash room to watch the proceedings. Secretary Windom this afternoon issued a circular offering to redeem nineteen millions of United States bonds outstanding on the last call and not, maturing until December, | upon presentation with interest.
