The Presidents Suggestions.

WASHINGTON, D. c., October 13.-
President Arthur has determined that he
will not send any nominations for the cabinet
until after the Yorktown celebration. He
said to a Senator this afternoon that he would
be gratiied If the Senate would not take
early steps toward adjournment. He added
that OF course he would have to 60 to York
town himself and would be pleased to have
all the Senate 60. When asked further as to
whether he suggested that the Senate tax a
recess of several days to attend the centen-
NAL and do honor to the French and German
visitors, he added that he would not retain
them many days after his return from York
town, but the original programme contem-
plated that the government should participate
in the centennial in honor to the foreign Wis
itors. The arrangements were partly made
and completed by the present cabinet. The
President wants to carry it out, therefore he
wants to keep the cabinet together until after
the centennial. He will make cabinet nom-
nations, however, Immediately after tie
centennial is over, but the Senate will not
adjourn sine die until about the 25th.
There is apparently a disappointment
among Democratic Senators at Senator Davis
election. They generally believed up to The
last moment he would not accept. Some of
them criticize him pretty severely, saying he
has virtually abandoned his boosted indie.
pendent position.
A Democratic Senator who generally re-
fleets his party sentiment accurately, says
Judge Davis ambition was tempted by the
possibility of his reaching he Presidential
chair and that 1t overcams his usually good
judgment.
In view of the scene of unusual interest
there were MANY spectators in the galleries
to-day. On the floor OF the senate were d
large humber Of privileged persons, among
others Secretary Ki kwood and Attorney
General AacVeagh, also a number of COLI
gressmea including Horace Page of Califor-
mia, who arrived in Washington late last
night. The resolution was unnot;ced but it
brought David Davis to the chair when the
yeas and nays we're called. When the vote
on the resolution to elect him to the position
was taken the attention of all was directed to
Senator Davis. He sat in hi, seat, his chin
buried In his hand, his face wearing a rather
comicsl expression of embarrassment. When
Senator Bayard's name was called he arose
and said he would withhold hia vote and
should never t:y to retain one by his own

The Senate.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.-Lamar offered a
resolution requesting the President to advise
the senate whether any action has been taken
by the government since the last session OF
the senate towards protecting the rights and
interests of the United States in the project
of the inter ocean canal. Tabled for future
action Edmunds called up his resolution con-
tinuing the standing committees as constitute
ed last session. Garland offered an amend
ment providing only the following committees
should be continued, to wit the csmmittees

tary affai's, postofice and roads, public lands,
pensions and Indian affairs. lie commended
the committees named were the Only ones
that would have any work to do during the
special session. Edmunds offered an amend
ment. There were more committees NOT pro.
vided for, which in his opinion would be nee
essary TO perform work of the session.. He
announced that the committee o II privileges
and elections as one which would be or
gained. There was on the table now a petit
ton presented to the senator from New Jersey,
Mcpherson, said to seriously affect the rights
of the senators from New York to their seats
in this body. Then there was the committee
on railroads which might have work to do.
1t was known fl ON public report there had
been al important officer suspended for some
supposed failure of duty and by law it was
required such suspension hould he report ed

penses was also necessary. The committee,
Garland stated, would modify the resolution

THE ATLANTA EXPOSITION.

The Int irrational Cotton Exposition at
Atlanta, Georgia, formally opened to the pub
lie q few days ago, and If one may draw a
conclusion from the success which has at
tended all the preliminaries, the opinion may
be hazarded that the undertaking fully re-
allies the most sanguine anticipation of its
originators. 1t bids fair to open up a new
era of manufacturing and commercial enter
prise, not only in Georgia but throughout the
whole cotton region, by attracting capital and
in various ways bringing into notice new
fields of business enterprise. 1t is an aoreea-
BILE reflection that among the most earnest ad-
vocates of the Exposition from the start have
been New England men, Next to these
have come the Chambers of commerce and
Boards of Trade of the Middle and Western
States. There are but few of the great COM
mercial exchanges of thos. States that will
not have their representatives upon the
ground. The Mississippi valley, the Lake
region and all the seaboard cities will probably
be represented, making it an enterprise gen.
eral in its character aud not wholly confined

territory for a commercial aud business re-

The liberal and prompt subscriptions to

vincing proof that Northern and Eastern cap

A DIFFERHNOn OF OPINION.

The Republican press of New York are not
in accord concerning the results Of the late
Republican convention held in that city.
The Mail, q staunch halfbreed Journal, pro-
fesses to regard the action Of the Convention
as harmonizing the two factions OF the party.
It says the Convention concluded its labors
without q single unpleasant episode; that it
has framed q platform upon whic,i all Repub-
licans can stand with equal satisfaction ; that
it has listened to speeches from = temporary
chairman md President, who were lately
anti onkling candidates Off the Senate in
the sensibilities of any disinterested Repub-
iican; that it has nominated State officers
impartially from each of the late factions, and
that it has adjourned without leaving any
cause for further continuance of the names
OF s'stalwarts'' aud ''half-breeds." This is
the utterance of a journal which has been
and still is the bitter foe of Mr.. Conkling.
When it is remembered that the half breeds
controlled the Convention it will be readily
understo ID why the Journals of that faction
sing SuCu joyous nolcS'
But it appears from opinions expressed by
stalwart journals IT, at what is sauce for the
halfbreed goose is not sauce for the stall
wart gander. Truth, an able henchman Of
Conkling does not view the action of The COLI
We ntion with the SAME degree of enthusiasm
In commenting upon the inevitable fate Of
the Republican ticket, it says that its fate
was fixed before the adjournment of the
nominating convention; that its defeat was a
foregone conclusion before it was wholly
completed and that the condition of the pub
lie pulse confirmed its hopeless prospect. Thu
Democrats, it adds, were jubilant, the stall
warts independent and the half-breeds de-
spondent. This is quite a different song and
may sound discordant 10 the ears of the 9TH
er faction. Viewing the results Of the con-
vention at this distance, it will strike q dis
Interested observer that the half-breeds having
simply put a new crew into the old machine
propose to "let her run" The Democrats
are sanguine they will capture it in Noven'-
Der.

THE MEASURE OF DAVIS.

Our dispatches inform lis that Senator
Baya'd has been deposed from the Presiden-
cy of the Senate, and that David Davis has
been elected thereto. There is nothing sur
prising in this, if we except the action Of
Davis himself. This gentleman had informed
Democratic Senators hat if . Democrat were
elected to the Presidency of the Senate he
would not vote to Gust him and give his place
to a Republican. 1t is quite possible Mr..
Davis does not consider himself . Republic
can and although he voted with them in the
preliminary motions which led to the deposit
tion OF Bayard and the elevation of himself
to the place Of the deposed Senator, he
may contend he was not stultifying himself
or throwing himself open to criticism. The
mass of the people will think differently.
After his declaration that as the Republicans
had elected the President and Vice president
pro TEN. of the Senate, and after voting
with the Republicans against Bayard for the
position for the reason he had advanced, and
after declaring he would not vote to displace
a Democrat after he was installed, it will
strike the average citizen that Mr.. Davis com.
mitted an act of very doubtful propriety in
permitting himself to be elected President
pro tenn of the Seuate. In fact there will be
many who will hold that his desire to possess
the glittering bauble overcsme his sense Of
justice and paralyzed his better judgment.
In a speech which he made in the extra
session of the Senate last summer, Mr.. Davis
stated that he should act with the Democrats
in certx;n measures for the reason that he
owed his position As United Statos Senator to
the Democratic legislators Of Illinois whose
votes elected him. Notwithstanding this dec
lsration he has failed IN gain their confidence
snd while the Republicans have counted his
influence and vote in season and out Of sea-
son the Democrats have regarded him rs too
unsafe to mske any sacrifice for him, hence
they have neither deferred to his wishes nor
shaped their actions to meet his approval.
Mr.. Davis is unquestionably q very ambitious
man. He has been accused, aid no doubt
very justly 80, OF having the Presidential bee
in his hat. He can see in the chair of the
President pro tenn. . bare possibility Of occa-
pying the more elevated one by q short cut.
The path was strewed with flowers. The
temptation was too grss..s Casting aside his
scruples I; stultifyiDg his record and giving the
lie to his declarations he entered it and left
his se.E-espect behind him. The wor' has

David Davis was grateful to the Demo-
Gratis for electipg him United States Senator.
Out of gratitude he gave them a divided sup

interfere with his personal interest. He is
now e atefulto the Republicans for elevating
him to she position held by a Democrat. 1t
must be presumed his debt of gratitude will
be considered discharged as soon as a higher
position is offered to him by another party.
The idea of gratitude has received a singular

land showing that during the last four
months Ireland had been drifting from
bad to worse. The Land League mlght
boast of their W but he doubted their
wisdom or patriotism. The leaders OF the
League had to q large extent demoraiized
the people whom they proposed to deienu.
1t was only under a solemn sense OF du'y
that the Government had
measures of coercion. He trusted tnat
when the land bill was tnat IL

New York, Jan. 2S.-The Herald's Lon
don special SAYS Both In the House OF
Commons and in the press a feeiing OF
anger is showing itself which augurs ill1or
the future attitude Of Parliament and pub
lie opinion toward Ireland. All sections
Of Liberals and Tories old that the resist
ance to the Coercion bill is factious, and Is
carried on in the interests OF disorder.
This feeling will doubtless help the
Government to disregard the views
Of the Irish party. The irish rep
resentation was never so unanimous IN
any question as on its opposition 10 coer-
cion. The Irish party intend, 1t Is SAID;
to make such opposition to forster,s Dill
as will attract the attention OF the world,
in hope of delaying its passage by an end
less series of motions and amendments for
the space of a month, sitting from day to
day. The fight promises to be one OF un-
usual interest, though the result cannot
for a moment be doubtful, considering the
overwhelming majority to back the Gov
eminent. 1t will, however, remain q most
striking struggle in Parliamentary history.
The Land League has passed resolutions
summoning Shaw and Col. Hurst to re-
sign their seats in the House Of Commons,
for seeding from the Parnellite party.
