1t is now said that the late president did moi
| have full command of his faculties after Aug
ust 12 On the other hand it will be remem-
| bered that he discharged three of his doctors
| as late as September.
Congress at the last session ordered the print
| ing of 5000 copies of tha report made in
| 1874 by Senator (now Secretary Window, on
| the transportation routes to the seaboard. This
| new edition, which was required to meet very
| extensive demand for the work, will be ready
| for distribution in the conrse of few days.
There is apparently q disposition in both
| narties to arrange the organization OF the cen
ate by compromise. Both republican and
| democrat caucuses will be held in Washington
| next Saturday. It is rumored that the coincl-
dence of the caucuses foreshadows a nfer-
ence and an attempt to reach an agreement.
| There is a rumor that Z. A Rollins, ex COM
missioner of internal revenue is to be made
secretary of the treasury. The story comes by
| the sound of it, from New Hampshire MIR
Rollins is relative of the senator of that name
from New Hampshire, and brother of District
| Attorney Rollins of New York, one of the pres
| idents closest friends.
Messrs Brady, French, Brown and Turner,
of star route notoriety, have given bail for their
appearance to meet the charge of conspiracy
| filed by the government. The court required
| of Brady and Brown bond of $5, 500 each,
| and of Turner and French bond of 81, 600
conspiracy is $40, 600, it will be observed that
! the bail required is adequate.
AS the star route prosecutions go on there
will be general wedding out of dlshonest
| postmasters in the far western states and ter
! ritories. There are believed to be over 200
postmasters implicated in the star route frauds.
| They have been paid, as we're the pos masters
at Deadwood and Sidney, for certifying TO tile
| performance of mail service which was rever
performed.
| Arthur has not fully decided as to his cabinet
appointments, as he has been compelled to
give much of his time lately to the disposition
| of private affairs. This much can be stated
| with positiyeness: He has assured Postmaster
| General James and Secretary Hunt that they
can remain in his cabinet as long as they de-
sire to retain their positions, and he wishes
them to remain in the positions they now hold.
| Both of them will remain.
"A large number of letters have been received
at the treasury department asking if the secre-
tary would dc anything to relieve the stringen-
| cy in the money market. In the absence of the
secretary the treasury officials are still inclined
10 the opinion that he will probably not take
any steps at present other than the operations
now uDder way, for it is not clear what he
| an do nor whether any measures he might i'll
| stitute would have the desired effect.
| The secret service division of the treasury
| has received reports to the effect that two
counterfeit notes. produced by. teiegraphic
| process, have just been discovered in circula-
| ton, viz SIS note On the Leicester National
bank of Leicester, Mass, no bank or treasury
numbers gwen; also S. note ON the Firs,
| National bank at St Johnsbury, Vt, charter
No. 4S9, bank No: 325, treasury No. B120360:
The notes are said to be poorly executed, and
should be readily detected.

The Chicago Times Washington special says:
| 1t is alleged that already preparations are be-
| ing made to make second investigation in the
| treasury department, and that all of the papers
i showing the relations between the treasury and
a certain prominent New Yorker have disap
| peared from the records of treasury entirely
| Secretary Windom's call for bonds last week
was knownto prominent Wall street broker
| two days in advance of the call. Still worse
than this, it can be shown that Upton, assistant
secretary of the treasury, is now a silent part

J. Stanley Brown states that it is President
Arthur's expressed intention to continue at the
residence of Senator Jones for some time. The
president thinks the extra session of the senate
will be brief in duration, and until that ia over
the president will remain in his present quar-
ters. After that it is probable that he will re.
move to the soldiers home until the White
House repairs are fully completed. The presi-
dent positively declines to hear any applications
for public Office, and thinks the minor offices
now vacant should be filed by the heads of
the various departments.
Government officials are unaware Of the
whereabouts of Howgate, late of the signal ser
vice. They believe that he is either in hiding
or has left the country. It is known that he
had somemoney with his brokers in New York,
and his mistress, Miss Burrill, recently raised
81, 200 from friend of the captains here
and took it to him in New York. The investi-
but it is known that he has stolen upwards of
| 100000 He will be indicted by the present
grand jury as soon as the star route cases are
out of the way. It is said that his counsel know
| his whereabouts was reported some two
! weeks ago that they would produce him when
he was wanted.
| Since the erection of the new building for
| the bureau of printing and engraving, half a
| mile from tho treasury, there has been con-
structed heavy carriage, almost burglar proof,
| the sides, ends, top and bottom all being made
of plate iron and the single door in the rear
| heavily secured by q strong combination lock.
| It is understood that it has been decided to
make use of this novel vehicle for the transpor-
| tation of Guiteau from the district Jail to the
| court room. The prisoner will be placed in it
| and safely locked in, the key being retained at
| the jail He will then be driven about day
| break to the court house without guard, un-
| less under suspicion that he NAV be removed
| and a crowd gathers. 1t tho court house he
| will be released by duplicate key and placed
| in private room, where he will be closely
| guarded until the court meets, when he will be
called in to plead, after which he will be recon
veyed to Jail in such way as circumstances
may determine.
No estimate has as yet been made of the ex-
pense incurred by the presidents sickness. II
! is thought that the grand total will foot up to
| q very large amount The various items will
| be collected and presented to congress, and an
| appropriation will be made covering the entire
| amount The bill of the Pennsylvania Rail
| road company will be a large item. 1t is stated
that the cost of laying the track to Elberon was
| Sc, 600 while on two occasions special trains
were furnished and the entire line cleared The
next big item will be the DOCTORS fees. The
| amount is variously estimated. DR. Bliss fee il
ton and Agnew will charge 81 5 200 each. DR.
| Reyburn will also receive large fee. The
other two doctors (Drs. Barnes and Woodward
| were, during their attendance upon the presi-
| dent, in the employ of the government Wheth.
or they will receive any extra compensation
will depend upon congress.
