satisfied with our course in the matter, and
should have been glad to have had the debate
public.
LADY CALLERS.
Delegates to the Women's Christian Tenn
perance convention called on the president at
noon. The delegates closely packed the large
reception room. The president was intro
duced by Senator Blair, of New Hampshire.
Miss Willard, president of the convestion,
made short address, asking the political aud
convention. The president replied briefly that
he was in earnest sympathy with the move
ment to wean men from evil habits. The del
egates were then introduced by states.
Mrs. Chaplin, of South Carolina, said
that she, in part, represented the
South and hoped that it had part in his af-
fections. President Arthur said in reply that
he was entire sympathy with the society and
was determined that no section of the country
should, during his administration, be favored
as far as it was in his power to prevent, over
another. Mrs. Chaplin thanked him and said
she would carry his words back with her to
tell the people at home. President Arthur
then said, 81 am very glad

MACvEIGH AND THE ADMINISTRATION.
The discussion of MacVeigh's withdrawal
from the cabinet, despite the wish of the presi-
dent that he should remain to finish up the
work begun against the star route conspirat-
ors, gathers bitterness as it goes. The report
that the president will refuse to accept his
Ill OluOi eO GU PldolAO LIS uCSOi-
tion of the cases, is denied on good authority.
The presidents friends, however, feel that the
refusal to remain springs from want of con-
fidence in the sincerity of the administration
when it Claims to be in earnest in the prose-
cution. They denounce this lack of conf
dence as insulting to the president, and as
characteristic of MacVeigh.
Mr.. James has added new element to the
current discussion here, by criticizing what he

good reason to believe that the late attorney
general will not rest quiet under these attacks
and insinuations, and that the public will be
treated to spicy statement from him in re-
gard to the past history and present prospects
of the star routes prosecution. This will in
clude, perhaps, the measure of sympathy he
obtained from various members of the
Garfield cabinet, the restraints which
were then sought. the attitude of Garfield
himself up to the fateful July ID,
and his opinion of what may be expected from
continuation of the fight under present cir
cumstances. His friends say that he had SIM
ply the chance of going out now with the
chance of being called deserter, or of being
turned out in the spring as responsible for a
failure which in reality would be zone of his
making
REPUBLICAN CAUCUS.
The Republican senator's held a caucus this
morning and discussed the situation as to the
present deadlock and what had better to be
done. There was a general desire to bring
the present session to close manifested and
some thought it useless to prolong the
struggle, as the president can appoint STRAIT
ham postmaster. Finally resolution was
adopted that committee be appointed to
wait upon the president and request him to
withdraw the nomination of Stratham imme-
diately, so the senate might adjourn this
evening.
EXPIRING TERMS OF OFFICE.
There are large numbers of federal office
holders in all states, whose terms will expire
very soon, and unless the senate adiourns now
the president will be forced to make appoint
ments to fill these places. The senator's have
no opportunity to consult with their constit-
uents as to filliug the Offices the present term
which will expire this year, and they are all
anxious to get home and take up this matter
before the regular session of congress.
