THURSDAY, OCT. 20, 1881.
FROM WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, October 1.-THE
substitution made yesterday Of Sem
ator David DAVIS, as President pro
tenn. If the Senate. in place Of Sena-
tor Bayard, caused considerable mer-
riment in that body. and is supposed
to be the result of bargain.
President Arthur and the Cabinet
are going to attend the Yorktown Cen.
tennial, and no more nominations will
be sent to the Senate until after their
return. The prevailing opinion has
been that the President would make
no cabinet nominations previous to
the regular meeting of Congress, but
the present prospect is that during the
coming week there will be several
changes, and that the President, who,
from the first, is thought to have been
anxious to retain the whole OF Gar
fields cabinet, will be compelled to
accept some Of the designations that
have been rendered, and among them
possibly those of Blaine, Window,
James and McVeagh. The hearing
of the Star-Route cases has been con-
tinued until next week, when Bliss,
Brewster and others represent
ing the governmnt can be present.
Guiteau was ariaigned to-day and
plead not guilty Of murder. He
wanted to make q statement, but was
not allowed. His brother-in-law,
Scoville, informed the court that he
was not acquainted with criminal law
or criminal practice and had failed,
80 far, to secure competent assistance.
On this account, he asked for time to
enable him to obtain it, He also de-
sired that some provision might be
made to meet the expenses of needed
witnesses from distance. The
points of defense foreshadowed were
the question of Jurisdiction, irrespon-
sibility On account of insanity and
malpractice on the part of the physi-
clans who attended Gen. Garfield.
The court set Guiteau's trial for the
7th of November, and said the Ques-
ton of jurisdiction must be heard
and passed upon previous to that
time. Gniteau was then re-handcuf-
ed and driven back to Jail.

expected comet of 1872. This is the seventh

though Professor Proctor has asserted that
the appearance Of another comet this year

Nor REPUBLICANS, On, No.-The Wash
sngton correspondent of the New York
Tribune tells how the Republican commit.
tee TO settle the plan OF treating the dead
lock is troubled. He says:
To-day a conference was held between
some Virginia Republicans and some MEM
bers OF the committee, from which il ap.
peared that the Republicans are not all Of
Them disposed to what they call "A surren.
der, but Insist that The Republicans should
hold State Convention and maintain their
organization. These Republicans state that
they are willing to compromise so far as
compromise is possible, but that they do
not think It wise to surrender the Republl-
can organization. Neither do they wish,
they say, TO have the best men in the party,
who have hitherto been its principal sup
porters, alienated. as they may be IL no
State Convention Is held.
One OF the plans OF the Republican sena'
tors seems to be so to shape events that the
two Readjuster congressman, Paul and Full
kerson, will vote with the Republicans In
the organization OF the next House Of Rep
resentatives, as Mr.. Malone has in the or
gapization OF the Senate. The Republican
majority IN the House Is exceedingly small
There Is reason TO believe that while Messrs.
Fulkerson and Paul will not 20 INTO the
caucus OF either party, they will uniformly
act and vote against the Bourbon Demo

GENERAL MALONE A HARD MONEY MAN.
The Richmond Wing, General MAHoNE's
organ, was in 1878 the craziest OF Green
back organs, and has never recanted It's
herctical utterances on the subject OF nat
money. Here is what General MALONE
now says:
"Well, again must reply that ] am an
o,d.iashioped Democrat on that subject.
Modern Bourbon Democracy cannot AFFORD
to have any settled principles in regard to
that question. In some States II processes
10 pe in favor OF honest money, while in
other States IL yearDs for hat money to be
shed knee.deep over the land. Like Ben
ton, | have always been in favor OF
.lndian money-that il, gold and silver.
Sometimes vi late years L have thought
that possibly the Government should issue
all currency, but then have reflected that
4 time might come when crazy theorists
would be in the majority in Congress, ana,
IL they possessed the power, might issue nat
money enough 10 swamp us. do not want
politicians to control such power as that.
The pre. ent system of banking is the best
one we ever had, so far as the security OF
the customers and notehoderS Is concerned,
and / am empbatically in favor OF letting
well enough alone. 1t would be back
ward step, and a long one, 10 return to the
cid State banks or banks chartered by
States, and claim 10 be progressive man.
Under the present system the country is
more prosperous than It ever was before,
and there is nothing TO be gained by med
ding with II. LET well enough alone,
say l."
General MALONE has stolen our thunder.
He is advocating the very doctrines we adj
yocated In 1878 in opposition TO the teach
ipgs OF his organ, which was supposed to
speak bis opinions then as truly as 1t does
now. II was the Wig itself that came ou
IN favor Of covering the whole face OF The
earth with tat money! And now Genera
MALONE is hard-money man!
How will CRITCHER and LAKEWOOD ant
NEWMAN and all the rest OF the Greenback
ers relish this development!
