The President had already declined for the time being to necept the resignations of tho Cabinet, and had requested them to continue in the dis- charge of their duties just as they would have done had President Garticld survived, President Arthur assured James and Mac- Veagh that theresmust be no mistake as to his purpose towards all ‘persons who had been gullty of frend toward the Governinent, that if there had been a star. route ring and the Government had been de- frauded, he wanted the guiliy parties pun- ished. Postinastor-Generat James informed the President that he wns satisfied uf the Srands, and if he wns to remaln even tempo- rartly at the head of the Post-OMlce Depart- ment he would insist uvon having support nnd assistance in the exposure of wrong doing to which -he felt entitled; that the President knew he dit not desire to.embar- rass him for one moment by remalning in his Cabinet any longer than the President pre- ferred, but, so long as he retained his posl- tion, he was determined to perform the duties of his place in the Interest of the people. 7 PRESIDENT ARTHUR ASSURED GEN.
