New Ulm weekly review. [volume] (New Ulm, Minn.) 1878-1892, 1882-06-14

nal work at the White House.
You know, perhaps, that President
Arthur attends to much important
official work after midnight, and
does not 60 to bed before three
o'clock in the morning. In this way
he secures perfect quiet and freedom
from callers, and he has also the
coolest hours of the twenty.four for
the refreshment Of sleep. He does
not arise until about 10 a. m.
This would not be considered smart
in q farmer, hut tits we'll enough for
. President, or for anyone in Wash.
ington, where worry little business
is transacted before 10 o'clock
The department clerks are expected
to be at their desks little after 9
o'clock, but Congress does not as.
semble until 10 M, and the early
morning hours of the Capitol City
are unvexed except by the cries Of
news boys and hucksters, and the
rumble Of market wagons. With
the President there has been a re.
vival Of rumors relative to an i'm.
portant change in the cabinet.
There is report IN circulation to.
day that Mr.. Conkling will succeed
Mr.. Frelinghusen as Secretary of
State, and the latter be sent As min.
lister to England. It will be re-.
membered that Mr.. Frelinphuysen
declined the mission to England,
when nominated for the position by
General Grant, although he may, Of
course, be willing to accept it now.
It is we'll known that the President
earnestly desires to have the com.
panionship and council of Mr., Conk-
ling, and many of Mr. Conkling's
friends and admirers have urged
him to re:enter public life, and
it looks by no means improb-
able that, by the fourth of
July, when the despicable little as
sassip shall have been hung, Mr..
Conkling will hold the Cabinet port
folio held by Mr.. Blaine one year
60.
THE WORK BEFORE CONGRESS.
[thas been given out that it has
been determined by what is called
the managing committee of the
House Republicans to suspend, for
brief period, the unseating Of
Democratic members, in order to
proceed with the public business,
has been suffering for the last two
weeks. The remaining Republican
contestants, it is argued, should be
content with this course, because
they now know they are bound to
get in, and whenever they do they
will be entitled to draw the back pay
from the 4th Of March 1881. I'm
less the most extraordinary diligence
is practiced, the appropriation bill,
and other absolutely necessary bust.
ness, cannot be disposed Of before
the 4th of July, if attention is given
to nothing else between now and
that time. The prospects for an
early adjournment of Congress are
not, therefore, so promising. AT
the beginning of the present session
there were before the House com.
mittee on elections % contested cas-
es. Of this number five have been
reported and acted upon By the house
seven have been reported but not
acted upon, one has been ended by
death of the contestant, and nine are
pending in committee.
Attorney General Brewster says he
will 60 into court to-day, and assist
in the prosecution of the star-route
cases. He appears to be satisfied
with the jury that has been select.

with them. He expresses the hope
that they will consider carefully the
Importance of the question upon
which they are to Judge, and rende,
decision according to the facts pre-,
scented.
