count of the death of ex.President Arthur
President Cleveland did not hold his Gus.
tomary reception this afternoon. The Sec.
rotary Of the Treasury has authorized the
draping Of the Custom House at New York
as mark of respect to the memory of the
late President Arthur.
The President has determined to include
in the list of those whom he visits socially
the cabinet officers of previous democratic
administrations. Presidents die like other
people, and return to the body of the people
after the expiration OF their official terms
but modern democratic President confines
his social visits to the houses of Cabinet and
ex.Cabient Ministers. While on this sub
ject it may as we'll be mentioned that the
brother of the wife of o prominent demo

grief there, that envoy waited upon the
Ainericaii minister and asked him to call at
his hotel, in order to show the people that
his indiscretion had not estranged them.
General Jackson declined, for the reason
that to comply would compromise his official
position. The envoy then said he had

whole affair. And Secretary Rayard to!a
Mr.. Ssdgwick that bis personal denial was
sufficient. Yes, such things can be under

THE PRESIDENT, in his proclamation

THE PRESIDENT, in his proclamation in
respect of the death of ex-President Arthur,
saws the deceased exhibited "the best traits
of true American character" that the "as-
sumption of his grave duties was marked
by a. evident and conscientious sense of his
responsibilities" and that with dignity
and ability he sustained the important du-
ties of his station" And yet the President,
as an ordinarily informed man, when he
wrote this proclamation must have been
aware Of the Infamous bargain Mr.. Arthur
made with General Malone, and that Mr..
Arthur was on record as having said "the
whole weight Of the administration" THAT is,
OF the government of all the people of the
country should be thrown in favor of Gen.
Malone"

The MUGwUMPs say that the policy of the

ferred to knows that the policy of the adj
