No dublic business was transacted today, and the people in their private concerns acted as if still Inthe presence of a great sorrow.

That which came with Garficld was short- lived, and tho indications «are — clear tho present hush of party strize Fill be even more brief; it may last, however.

Already mutterings are beurd Waich foretell trouble. ‘The few Democratic Seuators who were reported to baye favored the Selection of u Republican or non-partisun Presi- dent protem. have taken pains to state that, in this matter, they stall not act outside of purty fines.

Eenator Manone says he does not mean to stay More than three or four days in any cuse. as tho Virginia campaign demands bis attention.

POLITICS. THE GAUL Spectat Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune, WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 24.—No one whose Opinion is of value doubts that President Arthur will make a pretty complete change in the Cubi- Net when he js ready to do so, and that probably all the members of the present Cabinet will be changed, with the exception of. Robert Lincoln, Secretary of War. All thatcan be sald avout the Capinet changes, of course, at present, is gossip; but there is plenty of that. itumor as- sizns Mr. Blaine to an important foreign mis- sion, for it is known that President Arthur dues not desire tocontinue any factional antasonisms. ‘Those who kuow bim best say that he would be well pleased to secure a reconciliation between Blaine and what bus been kaown us the Conk- ling clement, Mr. Blaine himself, some of his triends think, would be well pleased to. tuke an important foreign mission for some years, and THE MISSION TO ENGLAND has been suggested us one which would please bin better even tnan to remain in the State De- partmont under existing conditions. Indeed, it tas long been known that one of Mr. Biaine’s ambitions bas been to be the premier of the first Gartield Administration and the Minister to the Court of St. Jumes under tho ‘second Gar- Neld Administration, Mr. Blaine is notin per- fect henitn. The agony of the Inst three months has been a terrible strain upon bin, and a change of alr would undoubtedly be physically bonefi- celal. GEN. GRANT has been mentioned by some of Gen, Arthur's friends as likely to be tendered the porttoiiv of the State Department, but that, of course, Is mere gossip. Sceretury Hunt, who sur- rendered lfetim position on the Court of C'uims beneh for the Cabinet, is very anxious to remain. He hus given his son important appointment and ad- vancement in the naval service. He is said to be related by marriage to the deceased wife of President Arthur. No one seems dispused to disturl Robert Lincoln. In the classification of factions ho was credited, in Gurficld’s compro- mise Cabinet, to the Stalwart wing, ana tho Stalwarts, if they shall continue to exist and to ‘be so desiznated, will undoubted y be glad to ive Robert: Lincoin remain in the Cubinet, whether he properly represents the Stalwart or any faction or not. He certainly bus so con- dueted himself duriyg the brief period of bis administration as to win the respect of all par- ties, and has already proved himself au eflicient Exeeutive officer. It fs not considered probable that Gen. Arthur will permit MR. WIXTOM tu. retain the Treasury portfolio, and there are already rumors that both be and Secretary Kir wood will bé candidates to succeed thes S in the Senate, Postmaster-General James and Attorney-General MacVeag will doubtless be reta at least until the star-route prosecu~ tiongare well advanced, bat’ Mr. James’ friends are contident that he, at least, will soon res! to accept an important and lucrative bus position that has long been open to him. Un- doubtedly the first business in order upon the opening of the Sennte will be the ehviee of a Seeretury, Col.

He was President of the convention which nominated Grant for the second term. APPOINTMENT. THE ARMY Wastixatox, D. C., Sept. 24.—Not the least pressing of depurtment uifairs now before the President fs tho tilling up of the retired List of the wrmy, which is done by selection. There are probably fifty officers elisible to retirement, either by se or lensth of service. There are but seven vacancies on the fist, which is limited to. 40). Presidents Hayes and Gartield used their powers upon the fist rather in favor of the stat! departments, The line of the urmy, and especially the infantry, now demands attention, Gen. Sherman favors retirement to Coi. Pinck- ney Lugenbeel, Fitth Infantry, and Col. Dent, First Artillery, and these will probably be made next week. Jt is known that Gen. Grant bas long desired the . appointment Gen. Rufus Ingtlls as Quartermuster- Jeneral. When Hayes took up tho retirements he wished to relieve Meizs, but to do so involved the promotion of Ingalls, as lueker, the next in line to Meixs, is too old und feeble for tha po: tion. In order to avoid the refusal of Grant's request, and at the sume time to keep a Grant mun outof so intlzential a place, Meigs was allowed to remuia. It Is cousidered certain ia aruiy circles that the promution of Meigs will take phice very soon. OFFICIALS IN ALL tive nat the position. He umd eut Senator, FL BV; DEPARTMENTS ARE UN- EASY.

Sept. 24.—The inaugural of President Arthur intimated that he should curry out the polloy of President Garfeld with respect to economy and reform In the public service. Thé.inost atriking feature of Gen. Gar- field's pulicy was tho reform of tne postal service with respect io star router, Thore were fiithina- tions enonsh duriuz Gen, Gartleld’s Nfetime that the Stulwarts did not fully approve of the stur-route persecutions, Lut events which happened in the lust two weeks of Gen. Gar- field's illness made it seem probable that Presi- dent Arthur will continue the star-route investi- gation with earnestness. ATTORNEY-GENERAL MAOVEAQH, at a time when it was known that President Garfield was not {Icey to tive, appointed Col. George Bliss, of New York, formerly United Stutes District-Attorney, a mau skilled us a pros- ecutor, to act xs spucial connsol in the Star-route case. Col. Mliss took hold of the cases with great zcal, and has been kuowa to say that im- portant conyiotions were probable. Now it hap- pens that Col. George Bilss Is the Intimate per- sonal and political friend of President Arthur, a mun who Is likely to bo as near to the now Ad- ininistration as any othor. COL. BLE has been here for some days, engaged In these cases, und has asgocinted with him, ag an expert, fi Iuw-officer espeutally informed as to the evi- dence necessary to insure convictions In cases of conspiracy. These faots make it ecrtainty secm very probable that President Arthur will carry out the potlcy of President Gartield at least in this respect, and. that now as then the motto of tha Administration will be to hunt the rascais “down. Col. $3188 is expectad to leuve for New York today, but, although he has devoted almost every = moment of hig time since he bas been here tothe preparation of the cusos,he found so much todo that he was not nble to go tonight.

WHEN I BEGAN AN ATTACK UPON THE TAM- ANY 1 the first man to come forward with encourase- mentand friendly counsel was Gen.

GREAT BRITAIN. THE RADICAL ATTACK ON Mit. WALTER. Sveciat Unable, i Lonxnoy, Sopt. 24.—{ observe that Mr. John Watter, who is now on a visit to you, has been attacked In one or two Radical journals here for some remarks he is reported to have made jn an interview in New York, especlally us regurds Mr. Bradiaugh, Mr. Walter is a man of too much moderation and good sense to be popular with the extreme wing of bis purty, but ho has uccurately expressed the general vublic opinion about Bradlaugh, and allowing for some probable exaggerations of the iuter- viewer bis remarks are quite consistent with the utterances of the Times on the subject. Brad- laugn takes his stand upon ATITEISM PURE AND SIMPLE. His political views are meugre and burren in the extreme. Heis intlamed with the burtiing de- sire to abolish the hereditury pensions held by tne Duke of Marlborough and others una to put an end to tho monarchy, and that is all. He does not attempt to grapple with those guciul aad domestic reforms which nre now upper- most in the nunds of tho people, but bases his case upon x blatunt and forbidding infidelity which be throws before the public {nthe most offensive: manner nt every opportunity. Wulter will do that gentleman no baru. People are getting tired of THE TYRES OF TIE RADICAL PRESS and the radivzl caucuses.

THE COTTON “CORNER.” ‘The course of evt with rexard to tho cot- ton corner at Liverpool justities my aaticipa- tions. The suspension vf work last week has brought privatiun to thousands of Lomes in Luneashire, while it has failed to break down Mr. Morris Ranger's “corner.” Prices bave nd- vanced, and the spinners must either pay theni or keep their spindles tlie. All this, of course, adds much to the troubles prevailme in the manufacturing districts. Hranches of tho Fair-'Trade League have been estabtished in Liverpool, Coventry, and many other towns, and several members of Parliament have joined the orzunizution. At Bradford, the other day, Lady Bective, who heudg the movement among the ladics of rank anQfushion for reviving British industries by-MfniShing foreiyn-made fubrics from their wardrobes. revived a royal reception. ‘Thousands of warkmen are joining THE FAIR ADE MOVEMENT, but the Zines und the other London papers sec vothing of what is guing on, and confidently pronounce the whole moyement dend as mut- ton. ‘They will find, however, when the feel- ing of the manufacturing — districts is tested at the next clection that a silent revolution has been accomplisted. In England the farmers are too busy with the fair- trade discussion to think of anything cise, but in Scotland the lund agitation has “fred the heather.” Larze weeti: are be ing held in Aberdoensbire, Inveruess, Banff, and in the southern — shires, at which the speakers muke uo sceret of their desizn. The resolutions call upon the Premier to treat the Scotch and English tenant as the Irish teount bas been treated, and grat theat a proprietary Interest in the soil they cul- tivate. It cannot be denied that in inany parts of Scotiand, especially in the isles adJucent, THE TENANT ISIN A TEBRIBLE CONDITION. Absenteeism, the root of some of the worst evils that atfect Ireland, prevails there, and whole districts tre sometimes swept of tenants and turned into shooting domains which are now valuable investments. The “new men” from the south of the ‘Tweed paying fabulous sums for a season's shooting. Primogeniture and entail will certainly not long survive the extension of the burough franchise to coun- ues, and the Game laws are doomed to perish at uvery early day. Tho farmers throughout the three kingdoms have muck to compiuin of, but the landlords, take thom ull round, ARE PROBABLY WORSE OFF. Lord Derby, in a speech the other duy, said he ‘did not believe that English agriculture would be permanently injured by Amertean competi- tion, and counseled economy. Economy in his position ieung the dismissal of the second under-butler. But he neglected to say by what process the English farmer can pay rent (which includes the settle- ments und jointures made by the Iundiords and the support of agents and middlemen) and yet compete with the Western farmer, who has nothing to pay but the cost of transportation, now reduced to a winimum. ‘TIE TRISH To the Western Associated Press.
