Mr. Grorce Biss, of New York, special U.S. counsel in the star route prosecutions, will return here next Tuesday, to be ready with as- soclate counsel to go on with the prosecution. ActixG PosTMASTER GENERAL.—Third As- sistant Postmaster General Hazen continues to act as Postmaster General in the absence of the Postmaster General and the First and Second Assistants. Tae Wire House Overrcn By INsEcTs.— In fixing up the White House and getting it ready for gecupancy, one of the greatest dif- culties experienced is in clearing out theroaches and other insects. They infest the house in myriads. All kinds of roach and other insect- destroying powders are being used throughout the house. Tuk GarFIgLD Hovse To BE SoLp.—It is learned from Ohio that Mrs. Garfield will sell the residence of the late President in this city at I and 13th streets, and that Private Secretary Brown will arrive here to-day to attend to the transfer. Cosmisstoxs were to-day issued from the Post Office department to the following postmasters: F. Lyman, Backbone, Alleghany county; H. A. Middleton, The Plains, Fauquier county; J. J. Hutt, Bent Mountain, Roanoke county, Va., and H. J. Woolwine, Boyd's, Fayette county, W. Va. Dering THE WEEK ended to-day national bank notes to the amount of $927,000 were re- ceived at the Treasury for redemption. The corresponding receipts last year were $854,000. Ovr SovrH ATLANTIC SquapRoy.—Commo- dore Spotts, commanding the South Atlantic station, reports to the Navy department, on board his flag-ship, the Shenandoah, at Monte- video, August 2th, that he arrived there Au- gust 6th, and would leave for Maldonado, Uru- guay, in’ afew days. He says: “I respectfully call the attention of the department to the fact that the vessels now on this station are of too deep draught to enter the smaller ports, and their movements are on naeaently confined to lengthy anchorage in the few larger ones. I therefore request that a small steamer, of about eight feet draught, may be sent out for service in the river and also for surveying purposes.” Tue NATIONAL BANK SEcuRITIES.—The Treas- ury now holds $365,603,000 in U. 8. bonds to secure national bank circulation. U. 8. bends deposited on this account, week ended to-day, $1,273,700, and withdrawn $885,700. A Cincuxar has been received in this city sug- gesting the endowment of a “Garfield Memorial Professorship” in Williams College as a fitting monument to his memory, and naming certain gentlemen who will receive subscriptions for the purpose. THE TRENTON arrived at Gibraltar at noon September 11th. on her way to the United States, and left the same day. She will stop on her way at Funchal, Madeira. Navan RETIREMENT AND Promotion.—Rear Admiral D. MeN. Fairfax, U.S. navy, has been placed on the retired list to date from yesterday. Commodore J. W. A. Nicholson has n pro- moted to*the grade of rear admiral to fill the vacancy caused by the retirement of Rear Ad- miral Fairfax. DELAYED Hoxors To THE MEMORY OF GaR- FIeELD.—The order issued from the War depart- ment the day after President Garfield’s death prescribing the honors to be paid to the memory of the dead did not reach the Washington bar- racks until yesterday. Consequently a salute of thirteen guns was fired at dawn this morning, and half-hour guns have been booming all day. This evening a national salute of thirty-eight guns will be fired. At 10 o'clock ERS the pale) were assembled and the orders read to them. Mr. Fish Makes a Mistake.—If the New York Herald reporter did not misrepresent ex- Secretary Fish, his memory of comparatively recent events is not so good as it once was. a report of an interview with him he is made to say in giving a precedent for Mr. Arthur retain- ing the Cabinet of his predecessor, that John- son kept Chase as Secretary of the Treasury until he went upon the Supreme Bench, ani | that he did not recollect whether Harlan or Browning was Secretary of the Interior when Lincoln died. Neither of the latter, but Judze Usher was Lincoln's last Secrefury of the Inte- rier, and he remained until the 15th of May, after Lincoln's death, when Harlan succeeded him. Mr. Chase had been Chiet Justice for some time when Lincoln died, having been appointed by the latter in the summer of 1864. fis im- mediate successor as Becretary of the Treasury was Wm. Pitt Fessenden, who assumed that office July Ist, 1864, and was succeeded by Hon. Hugh McCulloch, in March, 1865. _ The latter continued to serve after Mr. Lincoln’sdeath at President Johnson’s request, until Grant ap- pointed George 8. Boutwell, in March, 1869. So it was McCulloch, not Chase, who was Sécretary of the Treasury at the time of Lincoln’s death. THe Hor SEPTEMBER OF 1881.—The signal office meteorological summary for the month Just closed at this station, shows a mean tem- perature of 77degrees—hicher thanany previous record. The nearest approach to it the past de- cade was in September, 1874, when the mean was 70.4 The lowest mean tempera- ture in September the past ten years was in 1871 when the record was 62.6 degrees. The tot: rain fall last month was 2.19 inches, which is below the average. Topacco CULTURE IN THE UNITED StaTEs.— Census bulletin, No. 263, being a preliminary report on the culture and curing of tobacco, has Just been issued under the direction of the su- | perintendent of census. The total average in tobacco in the United States is 688,841, with a total production of 472,661,159 pounds. Ken- tucky is the largest tobacco producing state, nd next in order the following: Virginia, Penn- | ylvania, Ohio, North Carolina and Maryland. | In forty-four states and territories tobacco is preduced. The District of Columbia has two acres in tobacco and produces 1,400 pounds.

WHY HE VisITs NEW YORK—WHEN HE WILL RE- TURN TO WASHINGTON—MOVMMENTS OF CABI- NER OFFICERS. The purpose of President Arthur's visit to New York is the settlement of his extensive law business. He was summoned to Washing- ton in great haste, and had ne opportunity be- fore his de] to arrange his private affairs. After those arrangementsare completed he will returnto Washington. He expects to start on Monday evening or Tuesday morning next. Secretary Hunt, of the navy, will on Tuesday next visit the Brooklyn navy yard, and will thereafter go down the coast aa far as Charles- ton, returning to Washington city about the 10th inst. Secretary Lincoin will spend one week at Rye Beach. Secretary Wayne Mac- Veagh arrived in New York city last evening. He registered at the Brevoort House and re- fused to see any callers. es Se About the Ohio Election. GOV. FOSTER PRETTY SURE OF RE-ELECTION. All the advices from Ohio point unmistakeably to the re-election of Gov. Foster. Thus far there has been but little public canvassing. Sec- “retary Sherman opened the ball ten days ago in an elaborate ch, but since the. death of President Garfield active campaigning has been interrupted, and there is no disposition on the part of either the republicans or democrats to revive it. Ohio politicians, who have the shrewdness to make a clear and accurate calcu- lation, write that while Foster's majority of two years ago will be reduced, he is certain of elec- tion. Bookwalter, the democratic candidate, will not receive, they say, the united support of his party, because there are old democrats who think, to say the least, that. his nomination was procured through questionable means. pee Kina Karaxava and his party left Fortress Monroe this morning for Washington on the United States steamer Despatch. They will ar- rive at the navy yard about 6 o’clock this even- ing, and will stop at the Arlington until to-mor- row morning when they will start west. A tele- gram was received at the Arlington this morn- ing directing that a parlor car on the train leay- ing for Cincinnati at 10:40 to-morrow morning be engaged for the party. Before proceeding to the Pacific coast on his way homeward King Kalakaua will visit Lexington, Ky. THE Pusiic Dest STaTEMENT issued to-day shows a reduction during the month of Septem- ber of $17,483,641.66; since June 30th last there has been a decrease of $41,742,886.21; debtless cash in the Treasury, $1.798.855,925.77; gold cer- tificates outstandinz, $5,248,920;silver certificates outstanding, $64.149,910; certificates of deposit, #8.315,000; fractional currency outstanding, less amount estimated as lost or destroyed, ‘7,098,506.02; legal tender notes outstanding, $346, 681,016.

IN THE Cnristiancy Divorce Case the testi- mony of Mr. E. K. Haight, taken by commission, was received by the clerk of the court to-day in asealed package. It is understood that it is in regard to Mr. C.’s bad treatment of his wife in Peru. All the Guilty Men to be Punished. A TALK WITH COLONEL BLISS—WHY THE INFOR- MATION WAS FILED—DORSEY'S CASE TO BE CONSIDERED NEXT. Colonel Bliss was questioned this afternoon in reference to the information filed against Gen. Brady and others. He said: “The method of procedure was new and I think unexpected to Gen. Brady and the other defendants; but we were forced to accept it as the only one left. Owing to the recent adjourn- ment of the grand jury until next month, it was feared that unless we brought action in this manner our case would be lost through the expiration of the three years limitation by statute within which com- plaint must be made. The action of Colonel Corkhill in permitting the grand to adjourn, considering the serious injury to our case that might have followed, was a great sur- prise to me and to my associates. Whether it was intentional or not I do not know. Colonel Cork- hill ae it was not. The information we have filed is equivalent to an indictment, and is accom- panied with warrants for the arrest of the per- sons charged with conspiracy. ‘Their arrest, however, will not be necessary, as the accused will come forward and give bail, Gen. Brad: having signified his readiness to meet any ant all the charges that may be greught. As to the result, of sours edhe! oa Nae jong ago gave up prophesy! he result of crim cases. I believe the vanes is sufficient to send every one of them to the penitentiary. The next step now in the case will be the trial before the Supreme Court of the District How soon that can be reached I cannot tell. We are ready any time. The other cases will be pro- peedea with in the regular way before the grand jury.” rae is being done in regard to Dorsey?” was as] ‘‘T am glad you asked that question,” replied Col. Bliss, ‘because it would occur. to almost, every one upon hearing of the proceedings against Brady and others. I am working on Dorsey’s case now, and shall take some of the papers to New York with me. He will be at- tended to next. The President is very much in earnest in the matter, and is determined to push every guilty man to the wall. Dorsey will be prosecuted with as much yigor as any of the others.”— Wash.

New York, September 30. The business of the country has been at a standstill while the mourning for our late Presi- dent absorbed public attention. The fact that all civilized nations sympathized with us in our hour of grief shows how strongly President Garfleld was regarded by the reading and think- ing world. Queen Victoria’s court is in mourn- ing and the London stock exchange was closed on the day of the faneral. A network of senti- ment and feeling is thus stretched between England and America. The day of the funeral was a business holiday. Political stump speakers and clergymen id their most elo- quent tributes, and the whole people endeavored to show their respect and affection for the de- parted chieftain. But the universal sorrow isalready giving: place to other feelings. Even before the President's re- mains were laid in their last resting place, the doctors began to quarrel over the treatment he had received; the politicians began to wrangle over the policy to te pursued by his successor; even Windom could not wait for the last requiem before calling in his bond=; and to- day the bulls and bears of Wall street are quar- relling over the question as to whether his policy of redeeming $20,000,000 of three and a half ae- ferred bonds on December 24, and €2,000,000 weekly installments thereafter, amounting in the aggregate to $30,000,000, will help the bulls or » or ‘whether it will weaken or strengthen the banks. If the policy is to compel the banks to buy four per cents. at 117 to 120 from a syndicate formed here several weeks ago, they will probably give up their circulation, and instead of a relief to the money market, we shall see a recurrence of the exper- iences of last December, January and April. There is a report that Jay Gould sent to New- port for ex-Governor Morgan, asking him to go to Washington and induce Secretary Windom or President Arthur to change the Ponaive of buying in bonds, as Gould was afraid that pro- gramme would not relieve the money marke! or enable him to unload his holdings. However, it is not possible that ex-governor Morgan would lend himself to a trick so palpable on its face as this would seem to be. 2 It is altogether probable that the Cabinet will be changed either before or during the extra session of the Senate. President Arthur cannot afford to ignore the friends to whom he is in- debted for his position. Experience has taught him that fair weather friends are not to be re- lied on. Only those who come to the front when the gale blows are to be trusted. If he keeps on a Cabinet known to be wedded to mo- nopoly he will have to meet public criticism later When misfortune comes. President Ar- thur, with as little delay as possible, ought to select a man to take Mr. Windom’s portfolio— one who will lay by the surplus revenue of the fovernment untilit amounts to a gold dollar or every greenback out and a silver dollar tor every silver certificate issued, and thus prevent a panic which is likely to ensue under the pres- ent policy and to which the panic of 1873 would be a mere pigmy. The government should be in a position to supply old when the demand is made forexport, or for the redemption of greenbacks. The Bank of England has been obliged more than once to suspend specie payments because of a lack of gold to redeem its outstanding obliga- tions. The national banks of this city and country were compelled to suspend as Tate as 1873, When they were on a paper basis, green- backs being the standard. Since that date, hundreds of millions of securities have been issued and quoted on the New York Stock Ex- change as collateral and_real property, ainount- ing to more than the public debt of the United States. The gold received from Europe, to- gether with our home production, amounts to only about one-tenth of the amount of new se- curities set afloat: but as long as every one spec- ulates in this country, it is possible that relative prices may be maintained. The officers of the Michigan Central have lately issued resolutions justifying their official aet in passing their dividend. ‘They explain that, owing to the increased expense of operating a railroad in their part of the country and the decrease of tonnage and tariff, they have been compelled to do so. What is true of Michigan Central was true of Canada Southern, and will be true of the whole railroad list. That Mr. Gould controls all the railroads in the country, either directly or indirectly, and the telegraphic communication, announcing the births, christenings, marriages and deaths of the whole nation, is an undeniable fact. It is re- ported that he also controls Mr. Vanderbilt. That Mr. Gould and Mr. Vanderbilt are partners is yet to be announced to the public, though the news is current that Mr. Vanderbilt has bought the control of the Reading railroad, and that he and Mr. Gould have made a combination in all the anthracite coal-carrying roads, and that ta do this he had to borrow | $3,000,000 of the Brooklyn moneyed _ institutions on his four per cent government bonds. This looks very fishy, and shouid be taken with many grains of salt." Another and quite contradictory report is circulated that Gould, Sage, Hunting- ton and Villard have combined against Vander- bilt. It is barely possible that these gentlemen have overlooked the fact that Mr. Vanderbilt owns #100,000,000 in government bonds, while their securities are only tissue paper, based on photographs, lithographs, chromos, undiscoy- ered railroads and gift enterprises. Mr.Vander- bilt may have softening of the brain on the fast— est trotter, but not on finance or railroad man- agement. The old Commodore left him sur- rounded by a cabinet of first-class advisers, who have made no mistake up to the present writing. The New York Herald and all the other mem- bers of the Associated Press, except the New York World, as well as the business community, are very much dissatisfied with the telegraph service since Mr. Gould obtained control of the Western Union Company. . Gould is playing the | rests role of George Hudson, the railroad King of England, and will continue to do so as long as the people will allow him, or until another Black Friday comes. We have only half créps for 1881 and the pros- pect of only half crops in 1882. There has been no ploughing or ing in what is known as the corn and winter wheat belts, owing to the ex- tended drought which has spread over the pro- ducing section of the country for the past three or four months. Ploughing and seeding for winter wheat should have been begun by the first of August. This leavesno argument on the question of future crops. Mother Shipton’s prophesies for 1881, written by an unknown newspaper fiend in 1871, are in a measure fulfilled. Friday superstition has had, and will continue to have, its day. Garfield was nominated on Friday, inaugurated on Friday, and his remains left Washington on Friday. President Arthur was fortunate in taking his oath on Tuesday morning, but he should remember that he also i was nominated on Friday and took his chair-| rans. manship at the same time that the President took his oath of office. So he has two to one against him, and he may have his whole Cabinet against him unless he chat it. The President Telegrams to The Star. ON THE MARCH TO YORKTOWN. DESTRUCTIVE CONFLAGRATIONS. OLD WORLD NEWS BY CABLE TO-DAY. A Terrible Tornado, A DOZEN PERSONS SERIOUSLY INJURED. MILWAUKEE, October 1.—A special to the Re- publican from Wantonia, Wis., says that a terri- ble tornado swept the valley a short distance west of that town Thursday, completely devas- tating ag; eighty rods wide and five or six miles in length. Many houses, barns and out- buildings and one grist mill were demolished, and about a dozen persons were seriously in- Jured, but none killed outright. The damage to Property eould not be closely estimated, but would reach $50,000. eee Oil Works Burned. A LOSS OF ABOUT $150,000. PuILavELpura, October 1.—About half past 2 o'clock this morning flames burst suddenly from the north end of the linseed works of Grove & Bro., a two story brick building, situated at Greenwich Point, on the Delaware river, and in ten minutes the entire stracture was a mass of fire. Water seemed only to increase the inten- sity of the flames fed by benzine and naptha. Three railroad cars standing on a siding, loaded with oil in barrels, were caught by the flames | and quickly consumed. The burning oil then reached an enormous tank with a capacity of 60,000 bushels of linseed and this was soon | ablaze, Ughting up the sky for miles around. The oil works were entirely destroyed. The loss is estimated by the foreman of the works to be between $125,000 and $150,000. sti ech En Route for Yorktown. THE MARCH OF BATTERY C, THIRD ARTILLERY, Baxtimore, October 1.—Light battery C, 3d United States artillery, which left Fort Hamil- ton, New York harbor, September 15th, to march to Yorktown, Va., over the route taken by Washington's troops on their march to at- tack Cornwallis, one hundred years ago, en- camped last night on Peabody Heights, just. be- yond'the northern boundary of the city limits. nis morning they brokecamp, marched through the city and proceeded on their way along the Washinzton pike. After halting this afternoon, they will remain in camp over Snnday and re- sume their march Monday morning. Officers and men are well, notwithstanding the unsea- sonable heat.

Loypos, October 1.—Father Conway, parish priest of Clonbur, has been senten to two months imprisonment, at hard labor, forassauit- ing a bailiff who served him with a writ at the suit of Lord Ardilaun. Noticeof appeal has been given. THE COTTON CORNER ENDED VERY QUIETLY. The Manchester correspondent of the Standard says: The result of the meeting of the commit- tee of the Manchester Cotton rey Associa- tion yesterday has strengthed the feeling that short time will not again be adopted, and that the agitation against the ‘‘corner” is practically ended. The Oldham spinners buying company is progressing satisfactorily with their business in Liverpool, and in spite of the strong opposi- tion on the’ part of Liverpool brokers, about twenty limited companies of Oldham have al- ready appointed them their brokers. All ac- counts agree that the “corner” ended very quietly. THE ANGLO-FRENCH COMMERCIAL TREATY. The Oldham delegates who have been before the joint commission at Paris in regard to the Anglo-French commercial treaty have returned home. They are convinced that the government which will shortly take office in France will con- clude a treaty on more favorable terms than now exists. THE FRENCH CAMPAIGN IN TUNIS. Loxpon, Oct. 1.—The Paris correspondent of the Standard says: “All the charges against M. Gambetta and others that the Tunisian expe- dition was arranged for stock jobbing purposes, will be made the subject of a searching investi- gation in the criminal prosecution about to be instituted before the Paris court of peed M. Roustan, French minister to Tunis agai M. Henri Rochefort.” The correspondent says the charges against M. M. Gambetta and Rous- tan are silly fabrications. The Paris correspon- dent of the Times says: M. Barthelemy St. Hilaire, minister of foreign affairs, scouts the idea of a permanent occupation or annexation of Tunis, and regards the capture of Kairwan as bound to end the Arab agitation. Tle war office, however, deems the occupation of Tunis m - It is difficult to foresee which view will prevail, A SWISS TOWN BURNED.

Shean Increasing Local Mail Facilities, AN INTERVIEW WITH P MASTER AIN CAPITOL HILL SUR-OFFICE—OTHER 8U8- abuisnen. ASTAR reporter called this morning on Col. | Ainger, the city postmaster, who has recently been increasing the postal facilities of our citi- zens, and asked him several questions as to the new sub-oftice on Capitol Hill, which opens next Monday, in answer to which he said: “We will have in the new office as superintendent Mr. 1, A. Bassett, who is well-known in that section; clerk. Mr. F. D. Grant, and six. letter-carriers, with three auxiliaries, all of whom haye been engaged in that part of the city here! will on the 15th inst. establish a mail mossenger | Service six times per day between the ma | sub-office, thus saving ti | foreach delivery and coilection, and this will | give the citizens of that section'more prompt THR PPICES and frequent delivery. Of course, those who take boxes in the new ice (there will be one | hundred boxes) will have a greater benefit than those who donot. But all can bay stamps, Jobtain money orders and ister lete ters; in fact, have all the advantage j of the main office right at hand, and more, | for the sub-o will be open till eight at night. In my dgment there a: | city w suc ther sections of the offices would not only be ad- vantageous to the public, but are in a measure demanded. For instance, there is manifest need for one in the west end—in the neighborhood of | the Executive Mansion. Probably if I had been left to the five exercise of my own judgment I would have established one there first. Capt. Grant, Senator Blair and | others, with commendable enterprise, worked | up the public sentime d procured the allow- ance for an office on Hill, and therefore | were the first to receive the benefits. Stations | at the two ends of 7th street would be a great | convenience.” ter, rk hire, rent, and fuel al nnum, with €800 d= | ditional fo service. This is not | alt xpense, because this | gives additional facilities to the public which could not be extended without the appointment | of additional carriers. There is great difficult, in obtaining increased allowance for this bran ofservice. On July 1 applications were made for 15 letter earriers who were absolutely necessary to give a satisfactory delivery to the citizens, and | the department “was unable to give but two auxiliaries. as Congress had cut down the estl- mate $100,000. People should bear in mind these facts when they have reason to complain of col- lections and delivery. I think the increased facilities by the establishment of sub-offices will cause an increase of correspondence, and @ corresponding increase of receipts. ‘Every move made by the post office in years past to- wards lessening postaze, &c., has been profita- | ble. This is illustrated by the fact that one year I established mounted carrier service on Meridian Hill and Mount Pleasant. At the time it was thought that the amount of mail matter delivered in those sections would hardly war- rant the expense, but by reason of the facilities the volume of mail matter collected and deli:- ered by the carrier has increased sixfold within one year.” —_->—__ District Government. Affairs, In view of the recent decision of the court in relation to retail street stands and similar ob- | structions the police will receive instractions to remove them all. This street franchise can only be extended to the actual owner of the adjacent property, who possesses no right to farm it out to another.
