THE ARTHUR CABINET.
An Administration Organ on the
Probable Changes.


The Washington correspondent of the
New York Commercial Advertiser telegraphs
as follows:
"The serious trouble will be in selecting
his Premier, unless General Grant should be
willing to take the State Department. The
whole country feels that Mr.. Blaine's place
will be hard to fill with less great and his
toric and representative name than Ulysses
8. Grant. There is but one thing In the way,
and that is the large interest he has in the
Mexican Railroad. Should he give up the
Presidency of the road to take the Premier
ship, he would give up big thing Mr..
Window will no doubt desire to return to
the Senate. An extra session of the Mime
sofa Legislature is convened on the bond
question, and will have to fill permanently
the vacancy caused by his resignation last
March. If he prefers not to be reelected
his own successor now, the long term,
beginning in 1888, will be open to him, and
meanwhile he can go abroad.
"The President will feel bound to make
an early change in the Treasury, however
he may respect Mr.. Window personally
There are certain abuses under the Sher-
man rule to be exposed and corrected,
which Mr.. Window has not been allowed to
set right. He has simply 'drifted' since
July under the advice of certain bankers
and bureau oficers-the legacy of his pre-
decessor-eome OF whom ought to have
been dismissed before July. The President
cannot now afford, nor could Mr.. Window
desire, to have Congress force an investiga-
tion, and to demand a correction of these
abuses. The former, in appointing new
Secretary, will hardly risk, as his predeees-
sor did, a new and untried man on sectional
preference. 1 incline to believe 1t will be
Mr.. Boutwell,, who unites thorough integ-
rity and unselfish pride and zeal in office to
a most valuable experience under much
greater trials of the Treasury.
"If Mr.. Fish or General Grant, both now
| of New York, goes into the State Depart
ment, General James will be made Assistant
United States Treasurer in your city, and
the Post Office VIII go to the West-most
likely to Michigan. 1t Is understood that
General Hillhouse will resign the Assistant
Treasuryship. He has q better thing In
view. Should MIR. Lincoln desire to retire,
General Raum, Of Illinois, the able and efh
cient head Of the internal Revenue Bureau,
may succeed Mr.. Lincoln in the Cabinet,
not as Secretary of War, but Secretary of
the Interior, for which he is most admirably
qualified. Not to retain General James In
the Post Office might be unpopular, but the
President could not well discriminate In
making up q new Cabinet, nor Is 1t true
that no competent successor could be found

An Empty Movement.
Washington Post

The New York Sun editOrially states
that the last words of the late President
on any public matter were those in which
be assured the Postmaster General of his
qualification upon hearing that "the star
route cOnspiratOrs were on their way to
the penitentiary. This, it is true, was
the purport of Postmaster James report
Of his interview with the dying man.
But this, we are informed on pretty good
authority, is not strictly correct.
When Mr.. James reached the Presi-
dents bedside. the sufferer merely opened
bis eyes, feebly extended his hand. and
whispered an inaudible welcome From
the time the Postmaster General entered
the room until he left it, not so many as
thirty seconds passed-too short period
for affairs of State to be discussed.
There has been a great deal of non
sense uttered about the star route prose-
cutiOns, and the Sun has contributed
more than its share of it. The theory
that Gen. Garfield would have crowded
Manager Dorsey into the penitentiary
after what the latter had personally done
IN raising money to carry Garfeld's elec
ton, and for the General personally, or
that he would attempt to push to ex-
tremities a man possessed of as many
important party secrets as General Brady
is bosh, or to use q more expressive word
rot
Long before the President was shot
Dorsey was told to 60 to his rancho in
New Mexico and have no fears. There
he has been, quietly associating with his
cattle and his sheep, not even so much
as disturbed by events which have set
the civilized world in an uproar.
Neither is President Arthur the man
to attempt to punish his associates in
the work of carrying Indiana by force
chicanery and money-Or ''soap" as he
felicitOusly called it at the Dorsey
dinner.
We venture to predict that there is not
the ghost of a probability that a single
one of the star reuters will be indicted.
and Notwithstanding all the money that
has been spent to obtain evidence-so
ealled-and all the bulletins that have
been issued by the doctors in charge of
the case. that there is not evidence
enough in their possession to obtain a
single indictment.

sHERMAN,s MARCH NO THE SEA.
A Hitherto UnpubIfshed Letter from
General Joseph II. Johnston.

The New York Sstas publishes the follow
ing letter from General Joseph E. Johnston
10 Colonel Lewis w. Washington, OF Vir-
sinia, dated Macon, Ga, August Is, 1864,
and hitherto unpublished:
'sMY DEAR SIR-I have had the pleasure
to receive your friendly letter. The reasons
assigned for my removal are, failing to ar
rest the advance of the enemy to the vicinity
OF Atlanta, far in the interior of Georgia.
and not expressing confidence that could
oeteat or repel him. After the battle OF
the wilderness General Lee adopted pre-
clselY the course which / followed and
gained great glory by 1t. He fell back as
far as l had done, and much more rapidly
or rather less slowly. The enemy also pene-
trated much more deeply and extensively
into Virginia than into Georgia. l have
never known sensible men to regard coffin
dent language as evidence of merit
ga few days before my removal, General
Bragg assured me that he had maintained
in Richmond that Sherman's army was
stronger than Grants. 1t is very certain
that General Lees course has satisfied the
government and country and added to his
great glory.
"The relative strength of Sherman's
army and mine made the chances Of vic
tory, in case we attacked, in his favor. At
Dalton he had fortified pass close In his
rear as place of refuge In case of mishap.
In moving south he advanced fortifying,
and, therefore, always had an intrenched
position close behind him. History could
not have been decided for us under such
circumstances, while defeat would have
been ruinous. We therefore kept near him
to take advantage of any exposure of
himself that he might make, but he
made none of a general character
such as would have justified battle,
and repelled his almost daily partial as
saults with trifiing loss, while he on all such
occasions suffered heavily. We fell back
before him ninety-three miles in seventy
two days. The sum OF our losses was
about 10000. His we estimated at five
times as much, from the opinions of expe-
rienced officers, reports of prisoners taken
daily, aud statements of Northern papers,
This course, II continued, would soon have
so reduced the disparity of numbers as to
give us the advantage In battle; and If we
could have defeated the enemy on this side
of the Chattahoochee his destruction was
certain. l therefore thought, and still
think, my plan of operation correct.
"We are living here quietly and COM
fortablY, in spite of the excessive heat.
Give my regards to Whiting, aud believe me
yours very truly, j. E. JOHNSTON"

TICs.-A special to the Baltimore Sun,

ness was generally suspended here to day
(Monday) Rev. George W. Nelson, of
the Episcopal Church, who was a
Captain in the Confederate Army, de-
livered an admirable sermon on the
death of President Garfield. 1t was un-
derstood that the proprieties of the day
would be strictly observed. John S.
Wise was announced to deliver an ora

crowd assembled. He had hardly com

it was apparent that it was a
ruse to get off a Readjuster speech.

language of Robert E. Lee, duty before
everything else, and then proceeded to
make a regular stump speech, filled
with jests, that caused the laughter of
his auditors to ring out upon the quiet
evening air, while the church bells were
tolling a requiem to the dead Presi.

CAUSES OF THE DECLINE OF ENGLISH
TRADE.-ln recent years the force of
combination has been misapplied and
unionism is rapidly becoming as noxious
a factor in industrial life as the guilds of
old with their Imposts, barriers and
reservations. Strikes of labor against
capital waged for the f1imsiest reasons
have demoralized English trade and
handicapped the British artisan most
terribly in his race with the craftsmen of
France and Belgium. Lastly, adultera-
tion has injured our foreign trade much
more seriously than is commonly sup
posed. In former times English goods
were made to wear; now they are made
to sell. The Lancashire spinners "size"
their cottons to increase their weight;
Birmingham exports guns more deadly
TO the gunner than TO the foe, and at
Sheffield more "scamped" work is
turned out in a week than used to be
turned out in a year. These are the
principal causes of the present depression
in British trade, and it needs no great
wisdom to see that they cannot be re-
moved by high duties. Cable dtspatch

New Zealand has been turned into
good account for fungi In all Of the
rest of the world the fungus production
is partly poisonous and partly harmless,
but New Zealand's varieties appear to be
all good for human food. There is no
question of mushrooms and toad stools,
or separation of the good from the bad.
It is all gathered and mostly shipped to
China, where it is used to flavor the fa-
vorite soup of the Chinese, who never
inquire whether there is poison in the pot
OF not. OF late years the fungus trade
OF New Zealand has grown greatly and
now averages 200 tons annually. But il
brings only cent pound to the gather
ers, while 1t costs 20 TO 25 cents Der
pound In Hong Kong and San Francisco.

PARIS, September 29.-At the sitting of
the Electric Congress the question was raised
in regard to the rights OF property in sub
marine cs bles. At present no government
has Jurisdiction beyond three miles from
the coast, and cutting cable beyond that
distance is not a criminal otfense. Mr..
Siemens, the we'll known cable manufac-
turer, strongly urged the Importance of
giving some protection to such valuable
property as cables. A suggestion of NJ.

Telegraphs, that representations on the sub
ject be made to the different governments,
