A correspondent of the New
York San is responsible for the fol-
lowing choice bit of romance: at
is a secret in narrow circle of his
friends that since he hanged Mont
fort at New Orleans for pulling
down a United States flag from the
cupola of the court house, Gen. But
Ter has cared for Montfort's widow
as though she was relative The
exigencies of the cruel period of the
war made the taking of Montfort's
life necessity, but Gen. Butler took
his family: under his care, cleared
off the mortgage upon the widows
home, and obtained for her a posi-
ton in one of the departments at
Washington. Some time ago she
was displaced. AS soon as he
heard of it he took the next train
for Washington and did not return
until she was reinstated. The
widow and her children feel that no
harm will come to them as long as
Gen. Butler lives.

The general impression is that the
extra session of the senate will
scarcely extend beyond a week as
there will be but little for il to do.
Nothing but executive business can
be transacted, and it is not believed
President Arthur will have much TO
submit. The theory ola short ses-
sion is founded upon the supposition
that the organization will be effect
ed without partisan fight. All the
indications point to..a quiet ardpeace-
able organization through mutual
concession. Should a dispute over
the offices to be filled arise, dead
lock would probably ensue and con-
tinue until the regular meeting os
congress. But there is no reason to
apprehend such unseemly conduct
on the part ofour highest legislative
body. The committees, according
to custom OF the senate are created
at eAcn session To eXiStfor and during
that session but should any dispute
arise at the coming extra session
over the division of committees, the
whole question of their formation
may be deferred until the regular
session, as the few appointments like
ly to be made by the president will
not necessarily require consideration
by committees. The plan of conced-
ing the president pro tempore and
the secretary to the Democrats and
of according the committees to the
Republicans seem to meet with gener-
al favor, and, no doubt, some such
compromise will be adopted.

THE Rev York customnouse is
agitated. Fifteen hundred govern
ment employees hear their hearts
beat beneath their vests, and Collec-
tor Robertson has already signified
his intention to resign. He has
avowed civil-service reform ideas,
and certainly such ideas are not
agreeable to the stalwart faction of
the Republican party, so that it is
presumable that the president will
prefer to appoint a man who will
regard civil service reform as some
thing always possible, and some
thing which it is not desirable TO
adopt as long as the Republican
party is in existence. We hope that
President Arthur win really sur
prise the country by doing that
which it has been generally pre-
dicted he viii not do.

The district court ut Washington
convenes in a few days and will
have its hands full. The assassin,
Guiteau, Howgate, the alleged en-
bezzler, and the star-route fellows,
all are to be tried. Guiteau and
Howgate not being blessed with a
large amount of wealth and numer-
GUS friends, will doubtless be dispos-
ed of without much trouble. Not so,
however, with the star-route fell
lows. They are backed up by a
powerful combination, and they are
90 intimately mixed up with the
vitals OF the party in power that it
win be exceedingly difficult to
bring them to justice and disgrace.

The rumor that Mr.. Blaine is GO
ing to pack up and step down and
out of the cabinet, whether Presi-
dent Arthur desires it or not, is no
doubt true. Mr.. Blaine's reason for
such course is plain to the most
casual observer. Although twice
defeated in national conventions of
his party, he has never forgotten for
moment his patriotic and most
earnest desire to receive the nomi-
nation for the presidency. If he
was to remain in President Arthur's
cabinet, he must fall into line and
train with Conkling, Grant, and the
other undefiled and pure stalwarts,
and be secondary character in the
patriotic crowd, but. by resigning,
and placing himself in opposition to
the administration, if President
Arthur, by adhering to the stall
warts, gives him the opportunity,
he will be enabled to put himself at
the head of his faction, and have
strong grounds of hope for the pres
idential nomination in 1884. Mr..
James u. Blaine is a willy man and
a skillful politician.

FROM good many sources not
ordinarily regarded as towers of
strength to church discipline, there
have been sneering inquiries as to
the absence of any clerical person
age at the bedside of the late presi-
dent. Many journals, whose inter-
est in the question cannot be more
than perfunctory, have commented
with almost indignant depreciation
upon such a condition of things. 1t is
probably in response to this idle
prattle that the Washington clergy
man of the church which Garfield
attended brings himself forward to
explain that the absence of ghostly
councils at the presidents bedside
came about by command of DR..
Bliss, who informed the reverend
gentleman, on calling, that it would
be impossible for the invalid to talk
or hear talk. In that state of things
the dominic withdrew aud, as the
president grew worse instead of
better, there was no chance to prof
fer the offices of the church.

: TAKING this year 1881 all in all, it
las been one of sad events and
strange and startling surprises. 1t
has been year with an unusually
cold winter and an unreasonably
hot summer and the summer seems
to have telescoped into the fall. 1t
has been year of great and de-
structive drought and OF destroying
hoods; year of the most desolating
forest fires ever known to this coun-
try q year in which railroad and
other accidents have been numerous
and fatal year when crime seemed
70 be on the rampage, and 'cranksr
on the increase. Many notable men,
both here and abroad, have died,
and suicide at one time appeared to
be almost epidemic. What remains
in store for us during the remaining
three months of this surprising
year it IL impossible to predict, but
he people are prepared for almost
any astounding phenomena

REPUBLICAN harmony in New
York is at terrible discount. Every
county in the state, with but few ex-
ceptions, has elected double set of
delegates to the state convention,
CoDkling and anti-Conkling. The
wrangle that will take place and the
admission OF these contesting dele
cations will not contribute to allay
the acerbities that were engendered
during the senatorial contest at Al
bany. There is an uncommonly fine
outlook for the defeat of the Repub-
lican party in New York, this fall,
if the Democracy win show the re-
motest degree of discretion.
