SENATE ORGANIZATION .

WASHINGTON, u. u, OCl. IA "0Nn IS
the meeting of the senate was looked 1or"afu
to as one to be in marked contrast with the
extra session callad by President Garfield. The
prediction was that both parties were anxious
to avoid an exhibition of acrimony and that
the conservative members would so guide the
counsels that the organization OF that BODY
and divisions of the coinihltIees
would be by unanimous con
sent. The death of the President by
assassination, the profound grief OF the people
without regard to party or section, tne iaCt
that the senate was called together to supply
a link in the presidential succession, was
thought to be sufficient reasons to compel an
exceptional Willingness to sink party consla-
arations,S at least until the senaE
was organized. The conference - at
Cleveland pointed to such a fesE|S, ana
the talk of senator's on both sloeS
previous to the caucuses OF yesterday en-
forced the same view. The air OF the COM
mlttee rooms appears to have put all such
dsas to flight and the
PROSPECT OF DEADLOCK
has ceased to be q terror to the Senator'S OF
either party. They are farther from an
agreement than ever and the division Of
little patronage has dlssipateo
the last yestage of sentiments. Every
step in the organization is to be contested.
Edmunds and Fry will open on behalf OF the
Republicans 1t is not likely that they VIII
be left without reply from the Democratic
side. There will be little if any OBSTRUCTION
except in the form of debate, but it Will be
seen that the misfortunes of the summer have
failed to weaken party zeal in the leaders,
however much they have operated on the
people.
THE SECRETARYSHIP.
The Democratic candidates for the secreta-
ryship are very urgent that their party should
elect the secretary before the admission OF the
new senators. Otherwise that course would
have few advocates in Democratic caucuses.
The candidates realize if the election Is post
pened unti the new senator's are admitted
there is little chance for the election of demo-
crat, as David Davis vote is conceded
to the Republicans on the organization
Davis will not vote for Gorham
but after the resolutions for the election OF
the Democratic caucus nominee has been voted
down, and that of Gorham similarly defeated
Il Republican caucus will be held to select
another name for the position, and Davis will
vote for him and he will be elected. Borack,
tue man brought from the Pacific coast by
Senator Miller as its representative in place OF
Gorham is not likely to be the man.
JOKING SUGGESTION.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.-The Post, Demo-
cratic organ here, contained to-day an edito
rial contending that Arthur is still vlce-presi-
dent, and succeeded only to the power and du-
ties of president representative Demo-
cratic senator says, that the Republicans were
willing to accept this doctrine and that 1t was
possible that Arthur would be III the chair
tomorrow ready to swear in the new senator's.
Although this is apparently wild suggestion,
has nf discussion
Democratic senators say they would break
quorum if such thing was attempted. Re
publicans generally speak of the suggestion
us joke.
CABINET RUMORs.
Cabinet rumors are flying thick tonight,
and it is positively asserted that names will
be sent in on Tuesday. 1t is certain there has
been much conference to-day upon the sub
iect between Blaine and Window and the
President The best opinion is that Lincoln
is the only member to be retained, and that
neither Grant, Conkiing, or any senator ls to
be among those named. 1t is considered
certain that Window will not act
after Tuesday. He has notified his friends in
Minnesota that he is a candidate for election
to the senate. FoIger, of New York, is most
generally accepted as his probable successor.
The names of the new cabinet include FOger,
Howe, Frelinghuysen, Brewster and Sergeant,
Cali lorna, Lincoln and Rice.
CoNKLING AND ARTHUR.
4 news gatherer called on Mr., ConkliDg
last night after his visit to the president with
the intention of interviewing him on the sub
iect Before the reporter could open his
mouth MI. .Conkling took HIM by the hand and
said, 81 suppose you want to ask me how |
came TO be in Washington. [ came to see the
President. He ard | have long been friends.
| have not seen him since he has been presi-
dent till to-day, We had consultation on
various subjects. l DO not know
SaS Then tndnrnt shall sSou,d ses him aa, again him
with as much safety as any other of his
friends, but it seems that the gentlemen OF the
press are exercised over it. l assure you that
you have no reasons to be, and l wish you a
very good evening""
CAUCUS GOSSIP.
Edmunds, Frye and Logan will present a
report against the election of Bayard to-mor-
row, previous to swearing in the new senators,
II necessary, the Republicans will break a
quorum to prevent the election of Demo-
cratic senator before swearing in the new
senators, although David Davis will
vote for Anthony, it is not believed he would
Jon the Republicans to uuseat Bayard.
The message Of the president will be short
and formal.
LAPHAM AND MILLER.
Papers are IN the hands of q Democratic
gentleman, said to be signed by all Democrat
ic members of the New York legislature alleg-
ing the election of Lapham and Miller was
accomplished by bribery and pointing out
certain informalitieS connected with the cleo
tou. 1t is not thought it will be presented
until the senate is organized.
GUITEAu's DEFENSE.
George Scoville, Guiteau'S counsel and
brotherln-law, recently returned from New
York, said to day he did not make any ar
rangements in that city for counsel to assist
him in conducting Guiteau's defence. Itis
his intention, he said, to ask Richard I. Mer-
rick, prominent lawyer of this city to act
with him as associate counsel, and if the
latter declines, he will ask the court to assign
either Merrick or some other competent at
torney to assist him. Scoville thinks Guiteau
will be arraigned Tuesday morning next and
says if he (Scoville) conducts the case alone
he will put Guiteau on the stand in his own
defense as his first witness.
