PRECEDENT ARTHUR.
Movements OF the New Ex-
eculiVe.

New York, Arthur remained at
home to-day. He received few callers.
Murat Hslstead interviewed the Presi-
dent this morning.
New York, a. Arthur drove for an
hour, yesterday, in Central Park, with
his law partner, Mr.. Knevels. /. is the
first time he has left his house on Lex
lngton Avenue since his arrival from
Washington. He looked very much in
need of fresh air. As he came down the
steps ne was recognized By persons re-
turning from afternoon service, and in q
moment crowd collected and gazed
with curious eyes until the carriage
turned the corner. On his return to bis
house another crowd greeted him while
ascending the steps. Two lady friends
congratulated him upon his accession to
the presidential chair. He greeted them
kindly, but said In sorrewful tone: SIT
Is more cause for sympathy than of con-
graduation at present." His reply and
his manner repressed the cheer that many
persons present were about to give IS he
entered the door. Among those
who had audience with him we're Grant,
Logan, MacVeagh and John G. New.
Chicago, ga Times Washington
special says from q trustworthy source
that the correspondent, has learned
the true history of what has called Mr..
Arthur New York, and has had also in
dicated some results that will probably
follow this visit. In the first place Mr..
Arthur did not go to make new cabinet,
although it is believed he will make q
clean sweep of General Garfelds advisers
when the proper time comes. Mr..
Arthur went for the purpose of seeing
what could be done 10 harmonic the re-
publican factors in that state. It has
been represented that he can by fair
treatment harmonic the elements of his
party. From the start he has protested
an entire willingness to do all he can.
1t Is among the probabilities, if his pres
ent plans succeed, that Robertson will be
allowed to remain in his Office as collec-
tor-whIle half-breeds are to be given
suoh consideration as to insure their sup
port Of the administration. Nearly all
the ttalwart leaders are now in New
York. 1t is understood that Senators
Jones and Logan, Simon Cameron and
others favor cessation of the fight inside
the party. Mr.. Arthur, who is regarded
as one Of the best politicians in the state
has now unusual facilities for healing all
wounds, and II reports are to be credited,
he has already good prospect Of success.
As matters now stand, Mr.. Con king is
not now to be offered place in
the cabinet. 1t is felt that his selection
as cabinet officer would be too unpopu-
lar move TO make. tits considered
very desirable, however, to aid Mr..
Conkling to return to public life, and in
such way that his return shall be per-
manent. How to get him back is one Of
the problems of the present New York
situation. Judge Lspham las signi6ed
his willingness to resign and make q
place for Conkling, with the understand
ing that it is to be made up to him. If
he does not resign he will probably be
offered the post of attorney-general or
a leading foreign mission, but in case of
his retirement Mr.. Conkling might not
be any nearer the accomplishment of his
real purpose, . secure tenure in tie
United States Senate. If he were to
be appointed by the governor,
there is now no certainty that
republicans could carry the legisla-
ture this fall, so he would have no seeu-
tity for any real time. One way out of
tbs difficulty is to have Governor Cornell
invent some pretext for calling the legis-
lsture together in special session. In all
this there is also another element: the
treasury management is to change hands
NJ. Arthur has decided to consult with
some of bis capital friends in New York
ABOUT this. S"me years ago John Sher-
man branded Mr.. Arthur as dishonest
nan aud denoucced, officially, Mr.. Ar
thurs management Of the New York
custom hou>e as corrupt and dishonest.
81. ArtAur's turn has come te return the
c 'nplment and he does no! propose to
Il rget his advantage.
