ARTHUR AND HIS ADVISERS.
Contemplated Movements of the Presi-
dent and Members of the Cabinet.


WASHINGTON, Feb. 1S.-President Ar
thur and the members of his Cabinet are
preparing for the change which will fol-
low the inauguration of Cleveland. After
few months vacatIonthe President will
resume the practice OF law in New York.
Mr.. McCullOch will retire to his Mary
land farm, and proposes to spend the re-
mainder of his days in study and repOse.
He says not even the Presidency would
tempt him to leave its peaceful shades
again. Mr.. Teller, by bis reelection to
the Senate, is made a fixture in Washing
ton for at least six years to come. Mr..
Frelfnghuysen, III spite of his age, has not
renOunced his political ambitions, and,
1t Is said, looks forward to a providential
turn of the wheel of political fortune by
which he may get back into the Senate.
Mr.. Brewster will endeavor to revive his
law practice in Philadelphia. Mr.. Hatton
is halting between a return to journalism
and the acceptance of a position of char
acter with the Burlington and Quincy
Railway. Mr.. Chandler has made no plans
for the future, but his temperament is
such that he cannot long remain idle. Mr.
Lincoln, it is said, will resume his law
partnership with Mr.. Isham, of Chicago.
Before entering actively upon the duties
of his profession he proposes to take a
long rest. He says he will lay down the
portfolio of war without a single regret.

ALAP ANA CLAIMS.
An Order from the Court Regarding
Cases to be Tried.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2O.-In the Court
of Commissioners of Alabama Claims this
morning j. j. Creswell, counsel for the
United States, stated that on a careful re-
view Of the docket he had come to the
conclusion that it would be impossible to
finish the business of the court within the
time prescribed by law-Dec. 81, 1856
unless counsel for the claimants were ac-
ceIerated in their movements. He there
fore moved an order, which the court
adopted, that all remaining cases involving
the destruction of or damage to vessels by
Confederate cruisers, should be called for
trial on Wednesday, March 19 next, and
if not then ready should be summaTily
dismissed, and that on Wednesday. Nav
20 next. all other cases on the docket,
both of the first and second class, should
be called in their regular order, and those
not reported ready for trial on that day,
or not actually ready for trial when
reached, should be finally dismissed.

A Mail Bag Opened and the English
COnsuPs Dispatches Tempered with.
LONDON, Feb. 20.-Upon the arrival OF
the steamer Celtic to-day a sensation was
caused by the announcement that when
the steamer was three days out from
New York a mail bag was found con-
cealed in a saloon closet which
had been cut open and the
contents, including dispatches from
the English Consul to this government,
had been torn and crumpled. Inside the
bag another bag, which had been special
ly sealed, was also opened. 1t is not
known if anything was distracted. This
violation of the postal laws must have
occurred before the steamer left New
York. 1t is surmised that it was Fe-
nian attempt to ascertain the contents Of
the dispatches to the English govern
ment, or that it was a bold attempt at
mail robbery. The announcement of the
TACT creates no little sensation here. An
investigation will be made
