WASHINGTON LETTER.
The Once seekers The President Has
Very Much Pstronsgeto Dispense. Bat
Not to Chronic Beats and Bores.

Washington ID. G. Oct 7th, 1881.
The situation here is full of interest
and not without novelty. President
Arthur will have to be icredited with
originality, il not accused of excen-
tricity. = Who ever heard of q Presi-
dent that would not live in the White
House and yet, there may be excellent
reasons for preferring to make q home
of the elegant and commOidious private
residence Of q friendly senator. The
extra session of the Senate will meet
i'm two days. The regular session, of
Congress will convene in six weeks.
The American plague of Office seekers
Is already beginning to swarm about
the hotel lObbies. President Arthur
Is not ignorant of their means and
methods. He knows that he will be
less accessible to the Office seeking
rab bic, with its influential backing, at
the private residence of Senator Jones,
than IL he were at the White House, q
place that the crOnic Office see ker
knows by heart, and invades Mt pleas
ure. But this Is not the only depart
ure Of the President. After the extra
session Of the Senate, he proposes to
live at Soldiers Home until mid-win-
ter, when II is thought that repairs ut
the White House will be complete.
The Soldiers home Is three IN lies from
the city, most hiscOuraging distance
for the average Office seeker, who il
not able to hire u conveyance. The
President has said that he is deter
mined that the time and energy
which he owes to the whole country
shall not be wasted upon n horde Of
pestilent, brassy brats, many Of them
of the type of Gitteau, who hang aroud
the Hobbies of the White House, hun
cry for place i'm which they hope to
be paid from $500 to $500, or at least
three times rs much "a they would be |
competent t. earn as employees In any
commercial or professional pursuit !
He has said that the Cabinet officers |
must attend to the official appoint |
ments of their respective departments. |
This will distribute the burden that /
has been In great part borne by the
President to the shOlders of seven diff
ferent men, and the fact that the Pres-i
dent Is not In town, or not at home,
to this class, will do much toward
purging Washington ola malria from
which the Capital has long suffered.
President Arthur enters upon the ex-
ecutive Office with more patronage to
dispense than has been the lot Of q
new President in a great many years.
He has one jnstice of the Supreme
Court of the United States to appoint,
and will have another within O few
There are three foreign
ministers of the first-class and two Of
the second-class to select. There are
many changes to be made i'm consular
offices. and many other important ju.

@ENPHIs. Tenn. September Y, 1871
Spectators are operating with un-
precedented magnitude at all financial
centers, and a large proportion Of Their
deals are of the widest imaginable
type. In New York alone, during
last week, 1893, 100 bales of cotton
were sold for future delivery; nearly
one.fourth Of the estimated crop, and
valued at $6O,429, 900. The sales for
actual delivery were triHing in guam
tity, and it is generally understood
that New York has been ruined as a
cotton market, except for gambling in
futures. The speculative movement
In breadstuffs and provisions has been
almost as heavy in New York, and
even more so in Chicago and other
Western cities. The volume Of
exchanges in the leading financial
cities for the week ending Saturday
last, including San Francisco
for the week closing Sep
TENDER 10th, aggregated $l,2l5,-
1851, of which over $685. O0, 900
was in the city of New York alone,
The volume of legitimate business is
large, and Eastern fnanciers express
confidence in the enjoyment Of an i'm
mense autumn and winter trade. The
effects Of the late drought, and prob
able decrease in the yield Of cotton
and agricultural products generally,
seems not to have made any impress
sion on the minds of the money deal
ers North, as yet. Perhaps alta later
period its influences will be realized.
At this time the feeling is strong and
healthy. Here our local ~inancierS
and the mercantile community are
acting cautiously, and with prudence.
Money is in ample supply, and bOr-
rowers properly ildorsed, obtain loans
at from 6 to 8 per cent.
Government bonds closed in New
York last evening at 10 better for the
