Q. Washington, of Virginia, a well-known Southern journalist, who falled only by trickery of recelying the Democratic nomination for Sergennt-at- Arms of the Senate when the Demoerats had undoubtedly control of that body, and who would beavery competent person for the ollice ifn Democrat must have it, a3 he is Zamillar with political history and tho usages of the Senate; COI, Ik C, WINTERSMITH, OF KENTUCKY, a gentleman of some political influence in his section, and of large social acquaintance everywhere; Col, William McArdell, of AMisalssippl, 9 progressive Soutliern editors Rees B, Edinanston, of ‘Tennessee, of whom comparatively little is known here; and Gen, Pierco M, LB.

VIEWS OF A SOUTHERN SENATOR ‘To the Watern Auociated Press, Wasntnaton, D, G., Oct. &—A prominent Southern Senator said today toa Western Associated Preas Agent: “If we take this step and olect the President of the Senate, it will give the Republican press an opportu: nity to raisa the question of sectionalism neatn, and they will take advantage of it, ‘They will say that a temporary majority of the Senate, dominated ‘by the South, hag selzed this office In tho hope of getting con- trol of the Government in the event of the death of President Arthur, Idonotimenn that any respectable portion of the Republican press will suggest that the Democratic party, or any member of {t, would assasinate Arthur to got tho Presidency of the United States, ‘This iden has been ndvanced as an argument against the election of a Democrat, but It 1s only entertained by minds base enough to concelve and commit such a crime for seltish Purposes, It is scouted and condemned by alldecent people, But the tmportant con- sideration {un this matter is that the South only can be injured by a revival of sectional politics, WE OF THE sourit do nut want any Natlonal power beyond our representative portion to which we are en- titled. ‘The Presideney of the Senate is an empty honor at best, uspeclally as the Sonate is now constituted, excopt for: the fact that only one ilfe stands between it and the tem- porary Presidéncy of the United Stutes, For any part, if 1 had my way, L would elect a Conservative Republican to that positton, it the Republicans would aceord us tho Se taryship and half of tha commilttees, Ed plan would = pravent the revival of sectionalism whieh 1 foresea anil drend, and, bestdes, in a Jnaterial point of view, half thy connnittees-are worth more than the Presidency of. the Senate, Of course I shall be governed by the inajority of my party, but I intend to state my views plainly in caucus, Sines sectlunal agitation has ovased the South has prospered us never before, and, as 1 sald, Ita revlyal can only in- jure the South." ‘Ihts Senator will, no «tbubt, express these viuws in the party cau. cus, aud he will, from present fadications, tind others te ugreo with him, but the major ity vote will probably control the eauets, THE DISPOSITION IN NOTIC PATTIES to avold any contest grows more apparent as the time fora decision of the question ap- proaches, aud it Is not fmprobable that a basia form unanhuous organization of the Senate may be reached, 2 SENATOR WALKEI, OF ARKANSAS, saya tho Democrats should certalnly elect the prealding ofiicer of the Senate, then allow Usree’ Senators-eleet to be sworn tn, aud ilvide the other officers aud committees syuitably betweon the parties, He says the Attitude of the Demucratic Senators towar Arthur will ba no different from that oceu- vied toward Gartleld, ‘Arthur made a favor- able personal Linpression on the Demovratic Senators, and there 13 no reason why hts cession to the Presidency should be looked Upol ag a misfortune, VANCH AND VOOnIEES, special Dt to The Ctcasa ATLANTA, Gu, Oct.

District-Attorney Corkhill sald that of course the case could not be delayed, but that THE MERE FORMAT ARRAIGNMENT was not material to the tine of the trial, as tho arraignment itself, for that matter, could without prejudice to the case be delayed, If Netussary, till the very day that the trial should begin, and that he would defer the arralgument until Mr, Scovitle returned, un- Jess hts absence should be tov protracted, Meanwhile, however, his indictment will be formally presented In court by the grand jury, ‘That can be done without the pres- eneé of Gultenu, and it probably. will be dong tomorrow.
