Neglected Executive Bu.,nes..


Washington, Sept. 1.-Now that conf
dence in the presidents recovery is be-
ing restored, the subject of executive bu-
siness is again discussed and in connec-
ton with it the probability of General
Arthur being called upon to act as pres
ident till President Garfield RECEIVERS
sufficiently to warrant his resumption OF
executive duties. The fact cannot we'll
be overlooked that in every department
of the government there are matters in
stdtu quo that require the action of the
chief executive. How long they can re-
main so without positive detrimcnt to
public interests is an issue that must
soon be met. Although they were posi-
lively rot held or called to discuss this
subject, yet it is acknowledged by cabi-
net officers that several informal ex-
changes of opinion have been INDUCED
in, and it has been found that grave diff
ferences exist as to the wisdom of such
o step, not the least consideration being
the effect upon Gen. Garfield in his
present weak state, as it must necessari-
ly be when the matter is called to his
attention. 1t is well known. not
withstanding the assurances of his phy-
clans and friends that public business Is
in no way suffering from his continued
disability, he nevertheless thinks upon
the subject, no better evidence being
needed than the fact that during his re-
cent dclirium his incoherent utterance.
were constantly and entirely in relation
to public matters, and it is feared his re
coyery might be seriously retarded b,
the knowledge that it was deemed neces
sary for another TO perform his constitu
tional duties. 1t is sale to say that thi
step will not be advised by the cubine
at present if the presidents symptom
continue favorable.

Rev. B. F. Powers, of Vermont avenue
Christian church, Washington, has writ
ten letter concerning the presidents
character as christian man, In which
lie says: He has never hesitated when
necessary to testify to his faith. He has
lec.ured publicly in the christian church
within two years on the evidences of
christian religion, and for six years has
been devout and constant worshipper
and communicant. Taking estimates of
all the temptations attendant upon such
career, the general looseness of Wash
ington life and political life, especially
the marked untaithfulness of christian
men when they attain such official prom
inence, and the extreme poverty and OBJ
security OF his brethren in Washington
with their poor-house worship, esteem
him rs an unusual christian man, faith
full where nine out of ten would have
failed.

A Chicago telegram of the 30th says:
San examination was made to-day of
the city and st. Paul elevators. and it
was found that while there was no wheat
actually held, some 100000 bushels had
been taken from these two elevators and
shipped to Buffalo to avoid heating,
which seemed liable to occur unless the
grain was moved and stirred up. The
clique had shrewdly shipped the grain
before it was out of condition, rather
than have it posted as heated, which
might create panic. AS it was, prices
declined heavily to-day, at one time be-
ing cents below last nights close, al
though to-day's range was only 3al cents
and prices closed up pretty strong on
the open board. The decline from yes
terlay's highest to to.day's lowest was

INTERESTING TO LADIES.

Our lady readers can hardly fail
20 have their attention called this
week to the latest combination of
improvements in that most useful
of all domestic implements, the
"sewing machine"
As we understand 1t, a machine
for family use should meet first Of
all these requirements: 1t should
be simple in its mechanism, so as to
be easily managed; it should run
easily, SO as not to weary the work
er unduly; it should do wide range
of work, that the owner need not
wish for any other machine; it
should be as nearly noiseless as
possible, that it may not be a nui-
sance; it should be light, handsome,
durable, and as cheap as is cons
sistent with excellence throughout.
These conditions the slight Run>
ming New Home" certainly meets.
1t has also several very important
and useful attachments and "no-
tions' of its own, which go far to
make good its claims to popular
favor.
Nova great many families have
been and are still using tue old ma
chlnes-waitlng for the times to
improve; waiting for the latest i'm
provements in designs and mechan-
ioal excellence.
But why delay longer? Consid-
ering the low price at which good
machines are now sold, and the
improvements that have been made,
now is q good time to buy, and the
"New Home" specially recommends
itself to.purchasers on account of its
superior mechanical construction,
ease Of management and reasonable
price. Nearly half a million have
been sold in the last three years, all
of which are giving universal salts

manufactured by JOHNSON,

you to interest your people in this
work. If you will take hold of it,
please write us at once to that effect,
and if not refer this letter to some
active man in your county who will,
and ask him to notify us of his will
ingness to start the matter going.
We make the following suggestion,
that you call meeting of your citi-
zens at once, and organize County
immigration Society, with a presl
dent and secretary, and that the
name and address OF these officers
be forwarded at once to the commits
sioner. This will give him reliable
correspondents in each county, to
whom, parties making inquiries at
this Office can be referred tor particu-
lars of the inducements your county
may offer to settlers.
The secretary of your society can
be furnished by its members with
data upon every subject OF interest,
and this material be can compile
into well written circular for distrl
button. The general pamphlet from
this Office will only contain the lead
ing features of the several county
circulars, but will in every instance
give name and address of county sec
retaries, and refer to them for details.
This system if carried out will make
every intelligent man in the State an
immigration agent, besides relieving
the commissioner OF the embarrass-
ment OF having to recommend one
particular section. Every county
will be largely advertised through
The pen OF its own citizens. We
hope the Importance OF this sugges-
ton will strike you. AS soon as we
are notified of your organization, we
will forward to your secretary
schedule OF the class of inquiries
most commonly made of US, SO that
he may consider them seri0tina in
his circular. Thanking you in ad-
vance, we are very truly yours,
