WASHINGTON, Nov. 10, 1881.
But one member Of the CALI
met has been appointed-Judge
Folger, who formally assumed
the portfolio of finance to-day.
The new Secretary has made a
very favorable impression upon
all who have seen him. In per-
soual appearance, he is quite
striking, and is what might be
called hand some MN. He is
tall; well-formed, with broad
shoulders, upon which is firmly
set ii large and shapely head. His
face is attractive and Is fringed by
side whiakers Of iron-gray. He
has a pleasant, genial manner,
and is good taIker His ftmily
is at his home in Geneva, md for
the present he will occupy hi-
quarters at the Arlington. He
intends, after he has an opportu-
nifty Of looking about to rent a
house VIII en- he will be joined by
his family.
It had been believed, until very
recently, th.t Secretary Lincoln
would remain in the Cobinet, but
within thelast tWenty-four hours,
this has been denied by very re-
liable authority. If Elm ire Stor-
res, o. Chicago, should be made
Attorney General, there will be Il
reason for the retirement of Sec
rotary Lincoln, who is from the
same State. 1t is said, moreover,
that he does not wish to remain
in the Cabinet; that his relations
with the General Of the Army
and the older officers are not
pleasant. These Old sons Of Mars
feel CALLED and huu.iliated to be
out ranked soc ally and in IN iia-
ry circles by young man and
civilian.
There are few things more
beautiful and edifying than the
punctilio of rank etiquette in
nigh Army and Navy circles.
Mrs. Sargea mt Smith must sit
square on her rank, and in no
case call on Mrs. Corporal Jones
until that lady has FIRST paid her
respects. Calls to deliver wash
lug do not count.
General Malone, it is thought,
will be made Secretary Of War,
or, perhaps, Secretary of the Ma
w. He is very wealthy and hos
pitable, has an accomplished
wife and daughter. and, as Il
Cabinet minister. his house will
no doubt be one of the social GEN.

quarters of the disintegrated

The near approach of a trial
that will take the first place in
the criminal annals of the Dis
trict, and Of the whole county,
in fact, caused very little excite
ment in Washington yesterday.
In The hotel Hobbies, at night, the
trial was diocussed iii little knots,
the general current Of opinion
com bining dettslation Of the ac-
cused and his terrible crime with |
a fear that he would escape the
moose, on the plea Of
responsibility through lnsanl-
ty.
At the United States Jail, there
was unusual excitement veoter-
day. Early IN the morning
party of Christian women call q
