White House Notes.

Washington, December PRESIDENT
Arthur has purchased a pair of new
and exquisitely fitting trousers.
The front steps of the presidential
mansion were cleaned yesterday.
Miss Mary Ann Mccarthy having
resigned her position as third associate
chambermaid, heavy political influence
Is being brought to bear on the presi-
dent regarding the appointment of her
successor 1t is thought that a. pro-
per solution of the question may result
in breaking up the solid south.
The president has purchased a new
tooth brush. A report on its merits is
looked for with great anxiety.
The report that the president deals a
faro game every night for the members
of the cabinet is declared unfounded.
His ~favorite game is "mumble-the-
peg"
The bold stand against polygamy
taken by che president in his message
was not intended, as reported, for a
covert hint to the bellies Of Washington
that he a marry but one of them.
IL p. m.-The president Is about to
retire.
Later-He has retired.
Laterer-He sleeps.
Laterest-He is snoring.

IMovinu the Capital.

Washington, December 6.-The old
question Of moving the capitol from
Washington TO some western point will
come up again at the present session OF
congress. st. Louis and Chicago.
which have 30 long contested for the
honor, seem sure to be distanced In the
contest. A new aspirant has arisen.
Delegate Post, Of Wyoming, with his
accustomed energy is straining every
nerve to attain the distinction for
Cheyenne, and seems likely to succeed.
The peculiar institutions of the city, as
recently set forth In the New York
Times, appeal strongly to the sympa-
thies and predictions of the average
congressman and the facilities which it
sffords for the pursuit Of their favorite
diversions will strongly affect the ulti-
mate decision Of the question. 1t may
be safely asserted that within the next
Ave years, Cheyenne will enjoy the
proud distinction of being the seat Of
government Of the United States.

we couldn't stick him with forged land
patents or bogus pre-emptions. One day we

st. Louis, December 6.-The Globe
Democrat tomorrow will state the
prominent parties in Texas who will
o bring suit in the court of claims
at Washington to recover the value of
slaves emancipated during the late
a The action will be based chiefly
on certain clauses that state the constl-
tuition, which was approved and en-
dorsed by congress at the time of the
and which 1t is claimed makes the gov
eminent of the United States liable for
slave property. The plaintiff in the
case was e very proud Union man
during the war, and the proposed ac-
tion is endorsed and will be pushed by
some of of the ablest lawyers in Texas.

Chicago, December {. "A young
man was found this afternoon by the
the police wandering about the streets
In q very bewildered condition. singing
a song Of which the only distinguishes
BILE syllables were ''du-de-du-de-du."
He varied it occasionally by cries of,

The National Convention.

Washington, December 6.-To rene.
dy somewhat the measure which was
regarded by many to be a very grave
injustice, the present representation
Of the national convention, which gives
to the states and districts all over the
country the same votes, regardless of
republican votes, when In the same
districts in the south, even for nomi-
mating republican candidates, congress
is not pursued, Senator Fry, q mem
Der of the republican national commit
tee, will propose at the next meeting
Of the committee on December ~, a
new basis of representation, as fol-
lows:
That each state be entitled to four
delegates as now; that each district be
entitled to one instead of two as now,
to one additional delegate for each ten
thousand votes cast within its limits in
1880 for republican candidates for
presidential electors, and to one addi-
tional delegate for the majority or
fraction of ten thousand votes.
Votes for presidential electors are
taken as the best indication of the
strength of the party, thus any district
is less liable to be effected by local
causes. The effect of this proposition
if adopted, on the states and the con-
is shown by the annexed table, COM
piled by application of the present vote
to the districts as then existing. The
application of the same rule to the pres
esnt districts under the late apportion-
ment could not just now be in reality
made, owing to the lack of necess-
sary and accurate information, but will
not materially change the relative
strength of the several states, and will
only increase the total membership Of
tue convention to atty. The table
will show California, Colorado and
Nevada unchanged. Oregon will gain
one delegate. The northern states
will be increased from sos to 613.
The southern states decrease from 800
to 239; total number of delegates, on
the present basis, 800. The number on
the proposed basis, $40.

A Protest from Lawyers.

Salt Lake, December 6.-The Salt
Lake bar meeting this morning passed
the following resolution:
"That we earnestly protest against
the appointment of Sumner Howard as
chief justice of Utah, our reasons being
stated in our former protest to the
president"
They can't believe that a candidate

ton is as bad as Towards while United

He was ordered to remain in jail un-
til next March whenhis case will be
heard. He said his confession was true
in every respect and that he was ready
to suffer the penalty Of his crime. 1t

The Greenback Central Club at a meeting
adopted the following resolutions of respect TO
the memory the late A. L. Ames:
Our hearts have been deeply saddened by
the recent death OF our beloved brother and
co-laborer, A. L. Anies, possessing as .he did,
in an eminent degree o broad aud generous
nature, which won aud held the confidence
and esteem OF his associates. He was very
courteous, ever genial aud kind, ever true to
the highest good OF his countrymvn, hence he
was early enlisted under The Ggeenbaek ban
ner, and ever stood iitlnly by its noble princi-
pies,
Many men drop ont OF the busy ranks of
active life, aud iAra- scarcely missed or lament
ed, bot not so those Wfiusam ssAaIuue nature
have endeared them 70 wide circle OF true
aud loving hearts.
The closing of the grand life OF Peter Cooper
threw veil Of sadness over more hearts than
would the departure OF The whole race OF
Gonlds, Vanderblts Ands BeDnetts, simply
because his noble character won its way 10 con-
hdenco and esteem.
And So ii is with tbs departure Of our dear
brother Ames. He lived not in vain. He was
ever moved by noble purposes, and every moral
improvements found Ia him staunch friend
aud able advocate and defender. And his
cheerful face aud words of,eDconragament will
long be remembered by many. He lives no
longer 10 toll with as for the defence Of right,
but We will emulate his noble character and
pr,ueiples while il is ours to labor
Res0lued, That while We rsversptiy bow at
the high behest which has called away our
brother, our sorro~iug hearts will long hover
about The remembrance of his noble princi-
plies, and faithful life
ResolUed That his death has taken from a
sorrowiIg family tender husb nd and indnl-
gent father, from the community a faithful de-
lender OF its rights aud interests, and from this
Club one Of lis most valued members.
Res0lged That We deeply SYN pathize with
The large circle OF sorrowing friends, and es-
peciaily with the bereaved family.
Res0lced, That our retary be instructed to
transmit a copy of the above 10 the afflicted
family, and TO the press fer publication.
