The President and the Cabinet.

WASHINGTON, Sept. %.
The Cabinet to-day, through Secretary
Blaine, rendered their designations to Presi-
dent Arthur at the Cabinet meeting at the
Capitol after the President was sworn in. The
act was accompanied by an expression of the
warmcst sentiments of personal regard, and
the President was given to understand
only to relieve him of all embarrassment
without regard to past political events. The
President, without Formally, said that he did
not desire to accept the tendered designations
and would esteem it a personal favor If they
would continue in the discharge OF
their duties. The condition of pub
lie business and constituencies of tho
public mind, in view of the present great
national bereavement, warranted him in ask
ing this indulgence at their hands. Secretary
Blaine assured the President that he could
depend upon them to use their best efforts to
tranQuilize the country and to aid him in the
performance of his duties in the present try
ing circumstances.
Cabinet, President Arthur did not commit
himself to anything definite. He remarked
that under the present distressing circum-
stances he could not be expected to give his
attention to national affairs, except such as
demand consideration, and, therefore, had
given no thought to. selecting his advis-
ers. His request WAS that the present Cabinet
continue in the discharge of their duties,
leaving the question of resignation until such
time as he can determine what Is best for him
to do.
1t may safely be said that before the close
of next week IA proclamation will be issued by
the President calling the Senate in executive
session. The tiIpe fixed will be not later than
