 WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-This has certainly been one of the most quiet days Washington has seen for many months. President Ar thur went to church as usual at St. Johns and did not go out again during the day. neither did he receive any callers at the
 ''house on the hilI.'' The French and Ger man visitors passed the day at the Arlington Hotel. Some of them attended church in the morning, but the threatening appearance of the sky in the afternoon deterred most of them from ride in the country which had been planned In political circles matters have fallen to a nominal state. The Presi- dents announcement that there will be but two Cabinet changes now seems to have put temporary quietus on the slate makers Morgan's acceptance of the Secretaryship of the Treasury and Howe's appointment to the Attorney Generalship are now conceded and are commented on variously. The opinion seems to be growing that President Arthur intends to have Cabinet who, while being representative, will not be expected to "push things" The selection of Morgan, Howe and Freinghuysen is accepted as sufficient evidence thereof. Many would prefer to have seen younger man in the Treasury, but none venture any doubt of MT. Morgan's efficiency or possible intentions. The story that Lincoln may be transferred from the War to some other department when other changes are made is not without foundation. He will certainly remain in, possibly in the Attorney Generals shoes or in the Interior. Blaine stated to a friend to-day that he should probably remain in the Cabinet as long as the President desired him to. Kirkwood and Hunt will do the same. The President will not therefore be incon- venienced in his present plans for the immediate future. In this connection 1t may also be stated that Mir. J. Stanley Brown, Garfeld's executive secretary, will remain with President Arthur at least until the entire new Cabinet is arranged. MT. Brown has no desire to remain longer than will suit the Presidents convenience. He will probably be provided for elsewhere and will be eventually succeeded at the White House by MT. Reed, General Arthur's pri- vate secretary. The Senators are making preparations to leave town. The last of the Presidents nominations are expected to-mor- row and final adjournment is expected Tues day evening.
 First Assistant Postmaster General Tyner is making strong fight to prevent his re- moval, but those who know best say that he is sure to go. His Indiana friends are work ing hard in his behalf, insisting that it was Tyner's original report on the Star routes that led to the present investigation for which James gets credit. It is stated positively to- day that Tyner being promised an interview with the President tomorrow will make statement to him in which he will say that he made his report on the Star route frauds to Postmaster General Key with advice that the matter should be investigated thorough ly; that Key took the report to MT. Hayes and consulted with him in regard to it :; that Hayes disliking very much to rake up any scandal during his administration ad- in the party, to go no further in the matter; that Key then gave the report back to Tyner and informed him that it was the request of the President that it be dropped and instructed him to make no official record of the report but lock it up in his safe for the time being; that he did so under protest, and as soon as James came In he took it out of his safe and handed it offc- ially to Mr. James. This MT. Tyner de- clares was the first information that James had of the fraud He further says that James took the report and began the investi- gation which was based entirely on the dis coveries reported to him by Tyner. Docu- mentary evidence sufficient to thoroughly convince the President is said to be in exis- tence

At least hundred pages are devoted to Eng land, going so far into details ss the wages paid and the hours of labor. Then follow consular reports on the subject from all parts of the world, and a supplement showing the cotton goods tariffs of the world. Samples of the work have been sent for exhibition to the Atlanta cotton exhibition.
 Yesterdays session of the Senate de- veloped little of importance, the coveted Cabinet nominations not being sent ln. The President pro tenn. laid before theaSenate communication from the Secretary of the Treasury in response to a resolution adopted by the Senate March 24 calling for com plete list of all books, papers, pamphlets, &c, published by the various departments from March, 1879, to March, 1851. The communication, which states that the records of the Treasury department fail to give the information called for, was laid upon the table, and the Senate at ten minutes past 12 went into executive session. When the doors were reopened the Senate, at fifteen minutes past 2, adjourned until Monday. Arrangements have been made for special train to take the French and German guests of the nation to Annapolis tomorrow, where they will visit the naval academy. They re- turn in time to dine with Secretary Blaine at Wormleys It is still the programme for them to start for Boston on Tuesday President Arthur and General Grant dined to night with General Beale at the residence of the latter. This has given rise to the old rumor that General Beale is to be given po- sition in the Cabinet, but a firm friend of General Grant stated tonight that there was no such intention on the part of the Presl- dent The President, General Grant and General Bsale have long been the best of friends, and this Sunday dinner is but one of many social meetings in which they have been the sole participants. General Grant returns to New York tomorrow to attend to private business.

 WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-TheFe is little new in the Guiteau case save the, assignment of counsel for the prisoner by Judge Cox. The attorney assigned is Mir. Leigh Robinson, well known member of the Washington bar. This gentleman was selected by MT. Scoville, and has the reputation of being an able pleader and successful practitioner. Judge Merrick may possibly argue the question of jurisdiction. It is probable that this ques- ton will be presented to the court, though MT. Scoville is not anxious to engage in any thing at all calculated to delay the consider ation of the issue of insanity which is made up in this case by the plea of not guilty. He is satisfied with the. action of the court, and has confidence in it's desire and power to as- sure fair and impartial trial. He wishes
