CABINET CONFERENCE.
First Meeting Since Arthur is
President.

WASHINGTON, October 11.-At II
O'Clock meeting of the Cabinet was
held at the residence of Senator Jones.
All the members were in attendance. 1t
is generally believed that at least two
Cabinet changes will be announced
when the Senate eonvenes tomorrow,
the retiring members being Secretary
Window and Attorney General Mac
Veagh.
The impression among Republican
Senators is that the new Cabinet will
be made mp completely when Secretary
Window retires. Even Western Sena-
tors admit that the Treasury portfolio
will go to New York. Senator Logan
says there is no truth in the report that
he will nominate Mr.. Davis, of Illinois,
for President of the Senate to displace
Mr.. Bayard. Mr.. Logan intimated that
he might vote for Davis II somebody
else should nominate him. H8 hH
Secretary Window states no intima-
tiOn has been given him as to who his
successor would be, and Attorney Gem
eral MacVeigh says his retirement will
not in any way embarras the Presi-
dent. He regarded his tenure of office
at an end when Presinent Garfield died.

STAR ROUTE CASES
Defense File Objections to the
Information.

Defense File Objections to the
Information.
WASHINGTON, October 1I.-In the
Criminal Court this morning lotion,
counsel for defense in the star route
case, presented a motion to rescind the
order madessome time ago authorizing
information to be fled. He also pre-
sented a motion asking for an order on
the District Attorney to bring there
cords and files of the POstofice relating
to this ypaftioular route, to some place
where they can be seen. The motion to
rescind the order allowing information
to be fled is a long, technical document.
The causes set forth are: 1st, that no
notice of such information was given to
defendants; End, that the Court is with
out Jurisdiction; Sd, that the matters
charged.g1n the information appear. to
have taken place about three years be-
fore the application for leavetO file, and
no excuse or explanation of delay was
given or attempted; 4th, that the affida-
Wit in support, Of the informations are
insufficient; 5th, that proceeding infor-
nation is not authorized by law, and is
contrary to the practice of the Court;
9th, that the information does not
charge any Offense against any law of
the United States; 9TH, that the
matters alleged were impossible of exc
cutiOn by the defendants or any of them;
8th, that the information is not filed by
any officer of the United States author
ised to bring forward and file the same; /;
9th, because of the existence of the regu-
latiOn of the PostOflice Department au-
thOrizing the Postmaster General to or
der any Increase or extension of SER
vice, and to allow pro rata increase Of
pay, such rule having been made before
the defendant, Brady, became Second
Assistant Postmaster General, and the
allowance to McDOnough being made in
conformity with it. She increase in the
service had been petitioned for and
urged upon the Department by the off,
GERS of the United States in Arizona and
New Mexico, by GOVERNORS and eE-gov-
sernOrs OF those territories, and by mer-
chants, bankers and other business men
and citizens of those Territories, which
petitions, etc, are on file in the Depart
ment. Pay for Increased service to the
amount of $24, 1876 was also made to the
contractors in the months of June and
July, 1881, after the defendants, Brady
and French, had left the Department.
The court adjourned without fixing a
day for argument.

preferences and ambitions may be
eheerfuIly sacrificed for the common
good.
1t will be our first duty to adjust all
questions affecting the right to repre-
sentatiOn in this Convention, and it is
to be hoped they will be arranged so
satisfactorily and thoroughly, and so
plainly that they will be regarded as
settled, not only for to-day but for all
the future. [Applause.l
At the conclusion of the speech the
call of the roll was proceeded with. The
credentials of all cOntesting delega-
tiOns wore referred to the proper COM
mittee. Various committees were ap-
pointed and the convention took a recess
until s p. IN.
q As soon as the Convention re-assem-
bled it adjourned over till tomorrow
morning. The adjournment became
necessary owing to the Committee on
Credentials meeting at o'clock and de-
cided to give the contesting delegates
from New York three hours for discus
sion. The Tammanyites will wait here
for the report of the committee tO-mor-
row. Erastus Brooks will be permanent
chairman of The Convention. Excite
ment was caused by delegate present.

THURMAN
Returns From The Monetary
i Conference.

ASoournS FrOm Ine monetary
4 Conference.
NJ NEW YORK, October u.-Ex-Senator
Thurman arrived in this city from
France yesterday. He is in excellent
health, evidently having been improved
by his six months sojOurn abroad.
Speaking of the Monetary Conference
which he attended at Paris, he said that
while no agreement was reached fixing
the relative values of gold and silver,
much was done toward that end which
would ultimately be accomplished.
Many able papers were read before the
Conference, and questions of monetary
science were more ably discussed than
they ever were at similar conference.
England at first held back, but she was
beginning to see her mistake. 1t was
true that some held the opinion that it
was impossible to fix the relative values
of the precious metals arbitrarily, owing
to the variations in the amount pro-
duced, but the arguments were, in his
own opinion, greatly against them. The
good influence of the conference upon
European countries has been very per-
ceptible already. Mr., Thurman, owing
to the illness of his. sOn-in-law, Mr.. Nc
COrmick, Will not start for his home at
Columbus for day or two. s'a7.-

DISORDER
Reported From Ireland.

DUBLIN, October 11,.-Spaight, Magis-
trate in Ennis, County Claire, was fired
at in his house but not injured. Other
Outrages are reported in various parts
of the country. Fifteen persons were
wounded in the riot at Ballyragget on
Sunday.
ParnelL, at Wexford, said the move
ment for using only articles of Irish
manufacture was more likely to succeed
than any of similar kind ever started.
Ireland had plenty of capital of her
own, and all the Irish wanted was full
and fair scope for the ingenuity and in
telligence of Irishmen.

the burning of MOrreIl's storage ware-

lacky for this occasion only and in
structing Chairman BOgert to investi-
gate the affair. The roll of districts
was then called and reports heard from
those present. The Wolfe vote was
represented as being an unknown
quantity, but in large Republican dis
tricts it was expected there would be
some disaffeetion, which it was re-
marked would benefit Noble. The vote
generally is expected to be about
seventy-fiye per cent. of the full vote.
Mr.. Noble addressed the committee
briefly on the work tO-be done.

Ifyou desire to rank among
The public's pets and charmers,
You ought to join without delay
The club of city farmers.
They never handle hoe or rake,
And never turn furrow;
But in respect of theory
Their practice is quite thorough.
They know just when to NOW the corn,
And when to pick potatoes,
And when to graft the pumpkin trees,
And when to dig tomatoes.
They can instruct the farmers wife
Concerning bugs that plague plants;
In making souse of roasting ears
And Matching out her egg plants.
Quite learnedly they can describe
How cheese is got by churning;
But how the cows give kuttermilk
Is quite beyond their learning.
They can discourse on breeding fish
To fill the wastes of ocean,
And still find time to air their Thoughts
About perpetual motion.

The thinkers, not the actors;
And harmlessly believe themselves
The peoples benefactors.
