1t is not regarded as improbable
though hardly expected, that President
Arthur may be chosen by the New York
Legislature United States Senator for
the six-years' term beginning the 4th OF
March next. John Quincy Adams, after
leaving the presidential office, served
sixteen years in the House of represen-
tatives, and Andrew Johnson was, after
his retirement from the presidency,
chosen United States Senator from Ten
nessee, and was member of the Sen

oHEsApEAKs g OHIO CANAL.
Special Meeting OF the Directors in
baltimore Yesterday.

special meeting OF the directors OF the
Chesapeake h Ohio Canal Company was held
yesterday at Barnum's Hotel, Baltimore, Pres.
ident Smith, Messrs. p Hamill, James A. L.
Mcclure, John Humblrd, Spencer watkins
and Robert A. Dobbln, a newly.elected dfec.
tor, all present. With Mr.. Benjamin Fawcett,
secretary and treasurer. The meeting was
called to take up for action the proposition OF
the Board OF Public Works adopted at the an
nual meeting OF the stockholders In Annapo
lis on June 2. This proposition was lncorpo-
rated In resolution as follows;
RtS0lCed, That the salary OF the president bo
$4,000 per anuum, and that OF the directors
1900, from and after the 1st OF July, 1881,
and that the board Of directors be requested to
reduce the salaries OF all other onicers ten per
cent. and to make such reduction OF officers
and employees as may be possible, consistent
with an efficient ad dministration Of the canal.
and that this meeting stands adjourned until
the first Monday OF December, 1884
Its adoption by the stockholders carried the
reduction In the salary of the president to
$1,000 from 5000, and established the pay OF
tho directors at $500, as heretofore. The
board has the tack OF deciding upon tho other
part OF the resolution recommending the re-
duction OF tho salaries OF call the other ON.
Gers" Their session was a long one. They
decided 10 defer the cases OF the oficiais In
the Annapolis Office, including the secretary
and treasurer, general superintendent ot;r to
the next meeting, TO be held In Annapolis on
July "a, the reduction to date from July L.
They voted TO reduce all salaries outside OF
the day laborers' 30 per cent, and In some in
stances the reductions reach 25 per cent from
tho present salaries. Division superintend-
ente, section bosses and other employees are
included In the cutting down. In considera.
tion OF the decreased tonnage going by the
canal q large reduction was also decided
upon In tho number of the employees, men
being dropped wherever IL was practicable TO
do so. Tho details as to the amount OF the re-
duction In compensation and number OF en-
ployes Will be elaborated for report to the July
meeting, when the amount TO be saved IN the
expense OF operating tho canal Will be
definitely known. one OF the directors said
that not one superfuous man VIII be retained.
The business Of the canal is quite slow. IL was
stated that tho coal companies, as believed by
the board, have entered into q combination to
try and drive down tolls to 20 cents, nui to
reach that end they will not ship coal by
canal. President Smith, on behalf ot the
board, last week offered to reduce TO % cents
II the shippers would give guarantee TO make
good their statement that they would ship
100000 tons at that rate. This they declined
10 do, and tho tolls remain at SO cents.

Cleveland and John Kelly.


Information came hero to-day from Now
York, which Is considered of reliable char
acter py some OF the best posted Democrats,
and which puts an entirely different phase on
statement which is made, the friends OF Cleve-
land did not dare TO move for an indorse-
ment OF his candidacy at Saratoga because OF
the certainty of absolute and ignomintous de-
feat, Kelly, IL Is represented, IL not placated
In the least by the tremendous concessions
made to him, but Is ms determined as ever u
knife Cleveland, and Will resist TO the last
any attempt to present him as the choice of
New York. The same authority states that
outside OF Kelly 1t has been found IMPOSSIBLE
10 reconcile certain Influential Democratic
elements which are hostile TO Cleveland;
that the victory supposed to have been won
by Cleveland was mere shadow ana not SUD-
stance.
Should future events confirm this View, II
adds much TO the embarrassment and COM
plicatlon OF the Democratic sitnutlon. with
TIlden and Cleveland eliminated, there Is no
man in New York TO whom the Democrats can
look. The candidacy OF Flower would be 80
absurd and ridiculous as to invite overwhelm-
log defeat. Tho impression 10 strong that
John Kelly does not want any New York man,
but Will throw all his influence In favor OF
some one or the other of the Western candi-
dates. He has ever 80 much more chance %
pursue the even tenor OF his way II an out
side candidate is selected, and so he can rule
IN New York city. 1t is believed to be o matter
of complete Indifference to him who Is Presi-
dent. No matter who Is nominated by the
Democrats, Kelly will play into the hands Of
the Republicans II he eau make better bar
gain with II.
Prominent Democratic Senators to day said
the situation may assume such n shape as TO
the feet Of Mr.. Tildon. Influential Demo-
Gratis from various parts OF tho country, who
were here In consultations, agreed with this
view, and expressed the opinion that cirfum-
stances might occur under which Mr.. Tllden
would yield TO the pressure and feel con-
strained TO accept the nomination.

HENRY Is, PAYNE, of Ohio states iu au
interview that he is not candidate for
the Democratic nomination for President,
but that he is for Mr.. Cleveland. By a
careful perusal OF Mr.. Payne's talk it will

accept tho nomination, 1t makes but lit
tic difference whether Mr. Payne is or is
nota candidate, neither he nor any other
Democrat can be elected this year.
But no matter what Mr.. Payne may say
about his being candidate, it is a we'll

the delegation from New York to the Chi-

months laying the plans for his father-iu-

Mr.. J6sephs Is reported as stating "rhere is

10 some men an untruth, moro or less, is OF
no consequence, and from the aboye-quoted
statement Josephs is way up head in the class.
At all events tho bald fact remains there arc
thousands OF Pennsylvania Democrats who
would not vote for Randall.
Like Josephs, randall Is for the loave5 and

Mr.. KER admitted yesterday on the wit

and himself, while attorneys for the Gov
ernment in the prosecution Of the Star
Route cases, did, daring tho first trial, ad-
wise one Brewster Cameron, a special agent
of the So called Department of Justice, to
60 and see and talk with the foreman of
the jury about the case, because they
thought the foreman might have some in
portant information for the Government.
We believe that the Court in that, as in
all other trials Of similar nature, in.
foImed the jury at the outset that they
were not to converse with any one about the
case. After Judge Wylie had so instructed,
were not Mr.. Merrick and Mr.. Ker guilty OF
