The friends of the Intter gettleman tried to prevent Dr, Thomas from for- mally presenting the charges, but Dixh- op: Wiley decided, notwithstanding the teehnical objections raised, that Dr. Thomas could prefer the charges, which are that Dr. Parkhurst in an Interview with a Chicago reporter made statements asainst Dr. Thomas which were willfully and maliclously false. ‘The court before whiat the heresy charges against Dr. ‘Thomas are being heard seems'to be rather hostile to the neeused; nt least they have so far decided against hin in swarly every Instance.

A RULE Speetat Dispatch to The Chteago Tribune, Wasuixotos, D. C., Oct. 6—President Arthur has adopted one rule for the present, at least, which It would be well to make permanent, He has decided not to interfere in auy way with the vacancles which exist in the minor offices in the several depart tents, and he will not hear auy applicants for these positions, but will refer all cases to the department where the vacancies occur. Jtewill not sten to aay. applications for ollice except tor important positions, and he iy reported to haye sald today that he should send no nominations to the Senate ut the extra session except such as are necessary to Alt existing vacancles, ‘This principle would ils be extended to the Cabinet, unless some of the members of the ‘Cabinet should absolutely Lnsist upon the fintuediate accept- ms of the thelr resignations. ‘The Piesi- ent “18 UNDERSTOOD TO PREFER that all the members of the present Cabinet shall remain until the regular session of Congress, aud until they shall have com- pleted thelr annual reports, ‘Ihe President called ut the White Ilouse today for a few moments, and: the -visit was enough to dis- courage any one fond of a decentand orderly habltation. ‘Tho manslon {3 torn up from the repairs which are in provess, and which will not be completed until the winter is well advanced, As tho repairs progress, tho workmen find that even the private part of the house Is Infested with vermin, which, owlng to the ancient timbers-and the gencral inusty character of tho surroundings, It seems impossible to expel As i conse- quence of this unsuitable condition of the White House for occupancy, as a dwelling, at least, and because It is impracticable to use jt for office purposes until the repalrs are completed, the President will continuo to remuln at present at SENATOR JONES’ NOUsE, immediately adjacent to the Capitol. | To will remain there until the end of the extra session, which he does not expect will be Jong, He wilt: receive visitors there atthe rogular hours adopted by President Garield, for the White Mouse, and will hokl Cabinet meetings every ‘Tuesday and Friday thore, beginning with next Tuesday, After the ex- tra session iv will take up his residence at the Soldiers’ Homo, in the ecattagy which was vecupled by President Lincoln during all the rs of the War, and whieh, early this sum- v, Was refitted for the use of President Gartleld, ‘That house is connected by telegravh snd telephone with the White Jlousy nnd the Executive Depurtinents, and tho President will come to the Executive Mansion to transact whatever business inay require hls attention in the fnteriin before the assembling of Congress, By choosing the Soldiers’ Homo cottagu for a residence during the full the President will escape the certaln induria ot the White House, aud alse the malarious Intlvence whieh, in a somes what tess degree, might affect his health In lls present temporary restitence.
