WASHINGTON, Oct. 15.-Mahone insists
upoG the Republican senators stand
ing by the nominations of Cor
LAM and Riddleberger for secretaryI and
ser geant-at-arms of the senate. The Republi-
cans believe they could elect a secretary ac-
ceptsble to Davis, of Illinois, but they must
get Gorham out of the way first. Malone
refuses to consent to any other candidate ex-
cept Gorham and he has said that if the Re-
publicans do not make an effort to elect Cor =
ham aud Riddleberger he would submit reso-
luton to this ef5ct. He will hardly do this,
however, as the resolution would undoubted-
Iy be defeated. A majority of the Democrats
favor the immediate offering OF a resolution
to make Chief Clerk Stobar acting secretary.
bat q few Democrats insist upon an election.
a Democratic caucus has been called to meet
Monday morning to consider this question,
and the result will be to direct the introduc-
ton OF a resolution to appoint Shobsr as act
ing secretary. President Davis, of the senate,
is willing to vote for the Shober resolutions
and, as the Republicans believe they cannot
elect Gorham, they would not oppose it.
MALONE TALKS LITTLE.
Senator Malone said to-day that duelling
funders could be attended to after election.
He had resolved not to be forced into personal
difficulties and had advised his readjuster
friends to take the same course. The epithets
now hurled against all his friends were part of
the system of political intimidation which he
had made war on. After he had buried Darl
under big readjuster wig there would be no
desire to renew the quarrels OF the campaign
Until then he hoped RIddleberger would take
no notice of Wise.
MALONE ARRESTED.
Late tonight Senator Mahoue was taken
iato custody. The arrest was made. at the in
stance of Samuel Strong, an old resident of
washington who received information he be-
lleYed to be from q reliable source to the effect
that Gen. Jacob A. Early had challenged Sen
aor sss Ma Malone latter to had fight accented dHsl tsa
challenge. The senator was conveyed to the
residence of Judge Snell of the police court,
where he denied having received challenge
from Gen. Early, saying the latter was too
old and feeble, and added that all their differ
ences had been harmonized. Senator Malone
was released on personal recognizance bond
and returned home He will appear on Mon
day to answer the charges.
CABINET sPECULATToNs. a
The presidents determination to delay
sending in cabinet names until week after next
has broken all states, and it is asserted that be
is more embarrassed than has hitherto been
supposed. The rumor that Conkllng is to bs
mem Der, is renewed, and Blaine's friends say
taat the intention to appoint Conkling has
never been abandoned. A western senator
said this evening that he had felt
that such an appointment would be
so nearly fatal 10 the success OF the admins
tration and to the future of the party that he
had gone to the president and protested

courteously but did not indicate in anyway his
intention. In reply to question the treas
urer said Conkling would be- confirmed uaanl
mously. There could be no objections to him
on the score of ability and integrity, but the
appointment would nevertheless wreck the
administration.
BILL CHANDLER.
VIM. z. Chandler is in town, getting the
drift of things. He predicts that every men,
ber of Arthur's cabinet will be politician,
and be appointed to strengthen the party ma
chinery. OF Garfield's cabinet, Blaine, Win
dom and Klrkwood were of this class. Hunt,
Lincoln, James and MacVeagh have absolutely
no value in politics. He thinks none will be
retained permanently.

The senate agreed to take recess from
Monday until noon Friday next The senate

TALK WITH GUITEAU's COUNSEL.
Scoville, counsel for Guiteau, since coming
to Washington, has had as large a daily mail
as cabinet officer. He has endeavosed to
read and dispose of his correspondence but
the task increases so with each day that he
has sent to Chicago for a steaographer, who
is expected to arrive tomorrow morning. He
has received reply from Gen.
Butler and therefore wrote again
this evening. He thinks Buffers tel
egram recently published, indicates will
ingness to defend Guiteau. Rather than that
he shouldn't have thorough defense, he ex-
poets to summon almost every one who at
tended Garfield during his illness, especially
Swain, Rockwell and the surgeons. He
thinks Butler will
