THe GOVERNMENT DEPARTMENTS Were all open to-day, but very little business was transacted. There was but little to be transacted. Only in the cash room of the Treasury were there signs of much work. Elsewhere the clerks had avery good time of it to-day.

THOMAS JEFFERSON'S GRANDDAUGHTER AT THE Wuite Hovse.—Mrs. Maria Jefferson Eppes Shine called at the White House to-day, and Was shown all the courtesies of the place. She is the granddaughter of Thomas Jefferson. Her son and daughter and one or two other persons accompanied her. She had with her the medal which was awarded Thomas Jefferson by the Continental Congress tor drawing up the decla- ration of independence. The medal is a little larger than the standard silver dollar of to-day, The people at the White House united in show- ing attention to the descendant of her illustrious ancestor. Tue Waite Hovse was very dull to-day. The official mail was received there and acted upon. Prof, Langston and Marshal Russell, of Texas, and who will succeed Mr. Brown, called daring the morning but left no instructions outside of certain suxgestions of a routine character in regard to the official mail.

UP ALL NIGHT CLOSING HIS PRIVATE BUSTNESS. ¥t was nearly four o'clock this morning when President Arthur finished work upon important private business with respect: to the dissolution of the law firm of which he is a member, and it was nearer five when he retired to bed. He left word before retiring not to be called until noon to-day. It was after twelve when he arose, and soon afterwards he breakfasted. The callers to-day were few. Senator Johnston, of Va., called for a few minutes. It isnot now prob- able that the President will go to New York before the beginning of next week. Important matters, of a private nature, he has delegated to his two law partners to transact for him. These were here yesterday, and left last night for New York. The President had not, up to a late hour to-day, visited the White House. The office routine, however, goes on as usual. At the residence of Senator Jones two rooms lave been set apart for the President’s use, one as areception room and the other as an office. During the morning a large office table for the President and a desk for his secretary were re- ceived at the house and placed in the office. The President will probably not occupy the White House until after the adjournment of the extra session of the Senate. The force at the White House will be kept up asusual and minutes of the business transacted will be sent there to be re- corded. THE TALK OF CABINET CHANGES. There is a good deal of gossip about Cabinet changes, and the weight of sentiment is that there will be a new Cabinet entire. Friends of the President say that Attorney General Mac- Veagh and Postmaster General James will be re- tained until the star route prosecutions are ended, and that President Arthur will insist that the government’s case be proceeded with with the least delay possible. This, it is held, isa wise move, for the reason that if there should be a change of these officers, and the prosecution should fail, it would be attributed to a laxity upon the part of the new administration. Gen. Brady is now in the city, endeavoring to hasten the proceedings to a trial. No one, of course, knows who will be the constitutional advisers of the new President. For the Treasury ex-Goyer- nor Morgan, of New York, is mentioned, it being @ general concession that New York isto get this portfolio. For the Interior department, Senator Logan and Senator Jones are both talked of. For Attorney General the elo- quent Emory Storrs, of Ilinois, is mentioned. Secretary Lincoln, the guid nuncs say, can re- main if he so desires. fo succeed Judge Hunt as Secretary of the Navy, Judge Settle, of North Crrolina, is put on the slate by the gossips. The impression seems to be that Secretary Blaine will go to the court of St. James to re- lieve Minister Lowell. His successor, however, is not canvassed, everybody being at sea on that subject, although no one believes it will be ex- Senator Conkling, for the reason that he would not probabiy accept the place if it were offered him. Itis not improbable that John Russell Young will be made minister to Japan, if he has not changed his desire for the place. Gen. Grant, it is said, asked the late President to make this appointment. ————— Return of the Funeral Train. At 12:52 o’elock to-day the funeral train, which left here with the remains of President Garfield on Friday last, returned here—that is a part of the train returned, the funeral car, the hotel car and other cars having been left at Harrisburg, to be taken to Philadelphia. The train left Cleve- land about 614 o'clock last evening, having made the trip in less than teen and a half hours. The passengers were Secretary of War Lincoln and lady, Secretary Windom and lady, P. M. Gen’l James and lady, Attorney Gen’l MeVeagh and lady, Secretary Hunt and lady, Rev. Mr. Power and lady, Dr. Hawkes, Warren Young, Messrs. Crump. Atkinson and ‘Rickard, Justice Strong, Admiral Rodgers. Chief Justice Waite left the train at Harrisburg, The ran was made from Harrisburg to Baltimore, 84 miles, in 2 hours and 3 minutes, and from Baltimore here, 42 miles, in 59 minutes. The report that Secretary Kirkwood intended to go from Cleveland to Iowa to spend some time is incorrect. Mrs. Kirkwood arrived in Mans- field, Ohio, a day or two ago from Iowa, and the Secretary went from Cleveland to join her. Both the Secretary and his wife are expected to reach Washington to-morrs pedir S SA Organization of the Senate. THE ELECTION OF A PRESIDENT PRO TEM.—THE VACANT SECRETARYSHIP. After all, if the prevailing sentiment is worth anything, there will be but httle trouble in elect- ing a President pro lempore of the Senate. Re- publicans generally concede that the first duty will be to elect such officer, and that the new Senators chosen to fill vacancies cannot be sworn in until a presiding officer is elected. This, of course, will give the democrats a majority of the Senate, and a democratic President pro tempore will be chosen. It does not follow, though, that the rebublicans will permit the organization to proceed farther until the new Senators—all republicans—are sworn in. This will of course involve a contest for the vacant secretaryship, for with a full Senate the body will be equally divided. With the Senate ful it will not be within the power of the democrats to reorganize the committees. The candidates for the vacant secretaryship are understood to be Col. L. Q. “Washington, of Virginia; Hon. John G. Thomp- son, of Ohio; Rees B. Edmonson, and Gen. Pierce M. B. Young, of Georgia. These are all democrats. The cancuscandidate for the republicans is Mr. George B. Gorham, of this city, and he will probably receive the support of his party. ————___s95___ More About Guiteaw’s Scare, THE ASSASSIN'S COUNSEL. As stated in Tux Star Guiteau is probably the ‘worst scared man ever incarcerated within prison walls. As an evidence of his state of mind it is related that Gen. Crocker last Saturday eyen- ing forgot to see him before leaving the building, and he thereupon concluded that something was wrong, and was unable to sleep, except in short haps, with longintervalsintervening. On Sunday his eyes were swollen, and he presented a rather haggard appearance, keeping his bed most of the day. He rested comparatively well Sunday night. Yesterday morning he whitewashed and cleaned up his cell, remarking as he was thus engaged, “It is very warm work.” Sul juenth he was engaged in writing to some one who will never know of it, as his correspondence is ke} within the doors of the prison. As stated in yesterday’s Star, Col. Corkhill, the U.S. Dis- trict Attorney, notified him that the grand jury would take up his case next Monday, and offered to telegraph to an attorney for him, and he gave the name of his brother-in-law, George Scoville, of Chicago, to defendhim. Yesterday afternoon District Attorney Corkhill mailed the following letter: George Scoville, Atlorney and Counselor al Lav, Chicago, 1.: The grand jury of this District will meet on next Monday morning. I called to-day at the Jail and informed CharlesJ.Guiteau that his case would be presented to the grand jury immedi- ately oe their reassembling, and that I should expect him to plead to the tndictment for murder Wednesday ae at the farthest, and that e desired to’ ey a for him or any petininary, questions, ald notify them by telegraph. He asked me to notify you, and request you on his behalf to ap- pear at that time as his counsel, and also to re- quest you to secure the services of some emi- nent criminal lawyer to appear in his defence. He suggested the name of Fon.

Gossip in Cleveland Ye CLEVELAND, 0., Sept. 27.—Although the re- mains of the dead President haye been commit- ted to their last resting place, the city still re- mains in deep mourning. The railroad compa- nies have run extra trains almost hourly since last evening, but the city is still crowded with strangers unable to get nwa Part ot the Cabi- net left for Washington last night, and the others will follow to-night. There has been a great deal of Cabinet gossip, but nothing defi- nite will be known until after Mr. Blaine and his colleagues reach Washington. The opinion is quite strong among the politicians that some immediate changes are certain to take place caused by the refusal of some of the members to remain under President Arthgr. Gov. Foster feels quite anxious about the re- sult of the election in this state two weeks from to-day. Practically, no campaign work bas been done, and there is great uneasiness manifested by Gov. Foster and the republicag leaders lest the general apathy now existing may keep thou- sands of republicans away from the polls and give the state to the democrats. The U.S. S. Michigan left here last night to take a party of Senators across Lake Erie, so they could connect with the Canadian railway, and go east through Conada. The Higeria from Cleveland. THE GARFIELD FAMILY AND OTHERS LEAVING— INTENTIONS OF GEN. BWAIM AND COl. ROCK- CLEVELAND, O., Sept. 27.—Mrs. Garfield, ac- companied by her children, mother Garfield, Gen. Swaim, Col. Rockwell, Col. Corbin and J. Stan- ley Brown left for Mentor at 12 o'clock to-day. Swaim, Rockwell and Corbin will take the even- ing train for Washington. Col. Rockwell says upon his arrival at Wash- ington he will tender his resignation as com- missioner of public buildings and grounds in Washington. He thinks that a certain army influence will be antagonistic to his re- taining the position longer, and that the pressure upon President Arthur to change him will be eee than can be successfully resisted, and for this reason Col. Rockwellthinks he had better relieye the President by tendering his resigna- tion at once. Gen. Swaim’s army friends are doing all they can to persuade him not to carry out his announced purpose of resigning from the army, and they think to-day that he will withhold his resigna- tion for awhile. Both Swaim and Rockwell have an idea that they are to be made very uncomfortable under the new administration in consequence of the intimate relations they sus- tained to the dead President. . There are certain persons who are doing all they can to make these officers believe that they are to be perse- cuted and put onthe black list, and made to feel very uncomfortable in the future. Dr. Boynton on the President's Lungs, CLEVELAND. Sept. 27.—Dr..Boynton informs your correspondent that he fs preparing a state- ment, to be given to the press to-night, in regard to the condition of the lungs, as re- vealed by the autopsy, of the dead President. He says distinctly that there was matatastic abscesses, and that it is evading the truth to say that the condition of the lungs was due to pulmonary troubles He says the autopsy confirmed his statement that the lungs were affected by abscesses. His statement will only touch onthe condition of the lungs. He says he does not intend to pay any atten- tion to what Bliss says, but will, at the proper time, tell the history of the autopsy. He says he does not believe that any one of the surgeons will say over his own signature that the ball was not found in the bow] adhereing to the instes- tines. By Associated Press.

Buurrs, lowa, Sept. 27.—At 5 o'clock last evening, Just at the close of the Garileid memorial exercises, this city was shaken to its very center by.aterritic explosion. Instantly a great volume of smoke was seen to ascend in the southwestern part of the city. Investigation of the cause of the explosion disclosed the fact that on Saturday last a carload of gunpowder, billed as common blasting powder, reached here, over the Chicago, Rock Island and Paeific railroad, on its waysto Denver, Col. The Union Pacific com- ny, however, refused to receive the dangerous eigiit, and the car was returned to the Rock Island vards, where, from some cause, it ex- ploded with fearful force last evening. The con- cussion demolished the company’s round-house and repair shops, of brick. and freight-house, frame, besides forty or fifty freight cars. and dug a hole in the ground fifteen feet deep and forty- five feet in diameter. Large windows in ail parts of the city were shattered to pieces, pieces of plastering torn from houses, and havoc strewn | in all directions. Windows were even broken | by concussion in Omaha, on the opposite side of | the r, and as far as Missouri Valley Junction, enty miles north of us.

Boys sell lithographic likenesses readily on the cars and in the public places, cry= ing their wares as though they were new ‘Spapers. Some man had the last official bniletin of the physicians printed on white paper with « deep black border, and sold them rapidly at five cents a copy. The shelves of the booksellers are already loaded with souvenit volumes. One of these volumes was prepared long in advance on the supposition that the President would recover, and closes with a congratulatory poem. The author, however, has added a_ postscript setting matters right. Busts, medallions, and every sort of likeness of the late President can be seen on every hand. The creat haste with whieh they have been gotten up is the only excuse for the miserable appearance of most of them. There are very few teally good likenesses of Gen. Gar- field to be seen anywhere. Some of the plas- ter medallions, busts and figures made seem almost ridiculous. . A Stax reporter asked a ‘5th-street bookseller if there was much of a sa'y forGeneral Garfield's pictures. “W the reply. do, both of and Mrs. Garfield's | pitas.

It te singular, but there is little call for his picture. I don't think it has paid the photographer for taking them.” “How about Guiteau’s pictures?” “Well, there has been a good demand for them.
