Tyner. ‘THE PRESIDENT and Cabinet are expected to re- turn to the city early to-morrow morning. Accord- ing. to program, they leave Yorktown this after- in. Swoxtxe Nor Promirep.—The point was raised in the Treasury department to-day by an official that smoking in the building was prohibited. The question was carried to Assistant Secretary Upton, who sald that there was no regulation prohibiting smoking. Gun. FreMont's resignation of the governorship of Arizona Territory has been received and ac- cepted. His successor has not yet been selected. ‘THE Boarp of Indian Commissioners has ¢! Gen. Lyon, one of its members, to the positiv:. .. Secretary to the board, vacated by the death of Mr. Wm. Stickney. « GENERAL Raum was asked to-day by THE STAR reporter how it was that in the last Virginia cam- paign he spoke and lent his official influence to the opponents of Mahone and this year was in favor of the readjuster campaign and Mahone. The reply was that he went long with the times. When he was against Mahone, ‘the republican party was against him. But since Mahone had voted with the republicans in the Senate and had Lee Tee oe ie, leaders ot Hine) Pe arty he (Raum) tho ‘was the thing im to do likewise. Mrs. GaRFIELD’s MovEMENTS.—The late Prest- dent’s home at Mentor was leased, when he was Preparing to come to Washington to be inaugu- rated President, to Mrs Garfleld’s brother, Mr. Rudolph, for four years. Were she to remain there during the winter Mrs. Garfleld would feel herself a guest, though a welcome one, in her own home, so She prefers to pass the winter in Cleve- land, ‘where, as has been mentioned, she has Tented a house on Euclid avenue. Her Health con- tinues well, but she mentions in letters to friends here how wretchedty lonely she feels without her loved husband. Tne P. M. G.’s TENURE OF OFFIcE.—After the death of the late President an attempt was made, by parties interested in getting Postmaster Gen- eral James out of the Cabinet, to show that. his term expired yesterday—the 19th of Octo- ber. In support of this theory they quoted the Jaw fixing the tenure of office of the Post- master General, which provides that the term of that official “shall be for and during the term of the President by whom he 1s appointed, and for one month thereafter, unless sooner removed.” It Was maintained by those who were endeavoring to oust Mr. James that Gen. Garfield’s term expired with his life, and that, therefore, the term of his Postmaster General would expire one month after that event. As the President left for Yorktown, well knowing that he would be absent. over the 19th (yesterday), without either reap- pointing Mr. James or his successor, it may Teasonably be concluded that he does not put the construction upon the law quoted that others have. EXPENSIVE FODDER FoR A VERMONT Cow.—Treas- urer Gilfillan has received a letter froma man in Caledonian county, Vt. The man says that one cow of a number, he ts unable to identity particu- larly, chewed and swallowed the contents of his Pockéthook. | There were in that pocketbook wenty $10 bills, one $20 silver certificate and a $5 note, in all $325. ‘There were also in the pocket- book two keys, “noth of which,” naively says the Putlter, “with pleces of the book, were found upon the ground.” ‘He wants the United States to re- imburse him for his loss. It cannot be done. The mani Will have to produce portions of the notes upon which the cow operated before he can re- cover from Uncle Sam. Rear Apurear. C. R. P. Ropers, superintendent of the Naval Academy, by virtue of an act of Con- gress retiring all officers of the navy who have at- tained the age of seventy years, will be retired from active service November 14th, 1881, in conse- quence of which he will be relieved as superin- tendent of the academy on that day. Who will be his successor 1s not known, but the names of Rear Admiral Edward T. Nichols, Commodores John C. Febiger and Edward Simpson, and Captains 8. B. Luce and Francis M.Ramsey are spoken of as prob- able successors to the vacancy, as is also that of Rear Admiral Thos. H. Patterson, but the term of service of the latter will expire a year hence. IMPROVEMENTS AT THE WHITE Hovse.—Every one who has visited the White House since it was re- furnished in 1873 will be glad to know that the steamboat style of furnjture in the East Room, which even when new was never sultable for sd elegant a drawing-room, is to be replaced by a new set showing handsomely carved woodwork. ‘That which has been there eight years, it will b> remembered, showed no wood at all. The room’ in which Mrs. Garfieid, and after- wards the President, was so long ill 1s not to be refurnished, as’ its furniture, which 1s very handsome, 18 still In good repair. This furniture is maple and ash combined. ‘The alls have, however, recently been calcimined over the tinted paper Which has been on them 80 Jong, and which now look very fresh indeed. ‘The colors are pale blue, paneled With pale pink, divi- ded by gilt mouldings. Where the table stood on Which the physictans and nurses measured out medicines and other liquids used in the sick room the wall had been splashed and was much discol- ored. These spots are now entirely obliterated. ‘The lft now being placed in the White House will run up to the attic, and can be used either for passengers or household purposes. Ovr INTERNATIONAL GuESTS.—The reason for the distinction made between certain of the French national guests and those from Germany 1s thus explained by one authorized to speak from a knowledge of the facts. Certain of the French entlemen are sent by the government of France directly represent {ts Various branches; the others come as our guests, representing the de- scendants of Lafayette and Rochambeau, and others who fought for us a century ago, but are strictly private citizens, and as such yield prece- dence to the official representatives of their gov- ernment. ‘This last {s equally true of all the Ger- mans, none of whom were sent to represent their goverhment, but come as private citizens only, Tepresenting the Von Steuben family. Therefore on state occasions the official representatives of the French government must be given precedence of all our other foreign guests. The German visitors, itmay be added, all called at the French legauion le here. THE RACE FOR THE SPEAKERSHIP Is thus far con- fined only to the newspapers. Two of the aspirants for the honor, Messrs. Hiscock, of New York, and Ketfer, of Ohio, have made recent visits to this city, but not on’the matter of the or- fantzation of thé next Hous. ‘This for the reason at the Congressmen whose votes will determine such orgnization ere not now in the city. ‘There has, of course, though, been a eal of can- vassing through the medium of correspondence. ‘The principal candidates are Mr. Hiscock, of New York; Mr. Keifer, of Ohio; Mr. Kasson, of Iowa; Mr. of Maine, and Mr. Dunnell, of Minnesota, ‘The race will in the end probably narrow down be- tween Mr, Hiscock and Mr. Kasson, with the chances of success about evenly divided. FUNERAL CEREMONIES AT THE CaPrTor.—The me- morial services in the U. 8. Supreme Court on Mon- day for Justice Clifford, recall the number of simi- Jar ceremonies that have occurred here within a few months. The Senate and House were each officially notified last winter of the death of one and ench wil x meets Yor the each W!

Whoever may be named for the new Cabinet will be promptly confirmed. There is no hitch over any of the nominations before the Senate except in the case of-Col. Dudley, and the antagonien against him will not avail to keep the Senate in a protracted session over his case. The democrats will make no attempt to elect a Secre- tary of the Senate and the. republicans are quite Willing to let the matter go over until next Decem- re LATEST GOSSIP. It is generally believed this afternoon that the Cabinet nominations wil! not be sent to the Senate before Monday. The universal opinion seems to be that Secretary Lincoln and Postmaster General James are the only members of the present Cabi- net who will not be superseded. Attorney General MacVeagh, it ts understood, could remain until the star-route prosecutions are concluded, but he preferred to retire at once, answering, the Pres- ident’s request for him to remain a while by payin that these prosecutions would be thoroughly an efficiently conducted and under the direction of Mr. James. Several telegrams have been received from prominent southern republicans, and es] clally from Louisiana, protesting against the re- tention of Secretary’ Hunt and recommending General Longstreet as a man who would be much more acceptable to the republicans of the south. There ts still an impression among some leading republicans that ex-Senator Conkling will go into the new Cabinet, though this feeling fs confined to afew. Itis based upon the belict that the Presi- dent would be very much gratified to have Mr. Conkling among his constitutional advisers, and ae ene Jatter will yleld to this desire of the Pres- len’ THE CABINET SLATE that fs regarded as most. probable, 1s as follows: Secretary of State, ex-Senator Frelinghuysen; of ‘Treasury, ex-Governor E.

The failure to illuminate the avenue with the electric light last. night caused a general disap- polntment. To-day workmen under the direction of Mr, Morrison were busily engaged in going over the wires strung along the avenue, and reducing the chances of another failure, The reason of the failure last night, Mr. Morrison said, was that the circuit was broken on Shuster’s store, between 9th and 10th streets, and the workmen could not gain adinittance to the building to repair the break. ‘The test was made too late at night. He dtd not,he sald, Intend to have any more failures. ‘There was nothing wrong with the motive power. The blame all rested with the men managing the wires. ‘The local electric light company,he said, intended soon. to permanently {lluminate Pennsylvania avenue with lamp posts and to lay wires under ground. Colonel Ainger, the city postmaster, who 1s or was chairman of ‘the committee on illumination for the October entertainment, sald_ this morning that he felt certain there would be an illumination.| to-night, especially a3 Morrison had come to take charge ‘of the matter himself. His committee, however, had nothing further to do with it. The committee had agreed to give $400 toward the dis- lay. When the failure oceurred Friday night hey agreed to extend the time one day. Since Saturday night the local committee had had noth- ing to do with the illumination, and the electric light company could show thelightsit they wanted to, but it would be entirely:at their own expens Colonel Ainger spoke, he sald, only as an individ- ual member of the committee. AN ILLUMINATION TO-NIGHT—PERHAPS. Mr. Morrison, who represents the Brush com- pany in this part of the country, came over from Baltimore last night. He arranged this morning to have everything put in order, and to turn on steam at noon, so as to make a test. before ublicly announcing ‘an illumination to-night. ‘nis noon, when he went to Jackson’s mills, where the generating apparatus was placed, it was found that the boiler had sprung a leak, and it looked as if nothing could be done till to-morrow. Mr. Mor- rison then arranged to have the whole apparatus moved over to Draper's mills, on the other side of Ohio avenue. “I intend to have the whole arrangement moved over there and set up and the’ wires changed before night,” said he to a Star reporter. “Then you expect to havean illumination to- night?” inquired Tis Stan man. do, if it les in the woods,” was the meta- phorical reply. “I have done more ‘cussing’ since have been over here than I have done before in a year. Heretofore the fault has been with the workmen, but this accident to the boiler no one could help. ‘This thing has already cost us over $0.0, but we Intend to illuminate whatever the cost.” ‘THE PROSPECT IMPROVES. A large force of workmen were engaged this afternoon in making the necessary changes from Draper's and Jackson’s mills, so as to have the apparatus in working order to-night. ee REPRESENTATIVE PAGE AFTER MINT DIRECTOR BURCHARD.—Representative Page is not satisfied With the tecent report exonerating the superinten- dent of tile San Francisco mint of the charges pre- ferred against him.

AN OLD MAN AND His VaLise FULL oF Goup.—At 1o’clock to-day an old man with a valise full of gold beside him and a quantity of the coin, which he was cougting on the table, before him sat in the Toom of Assistint Treasurer Wyman. His name was Jesse Baldwin, and he camé from Ohio. He owned $17,149 in six per cent bonds. They ma- tured on the ist of July last, and he came here to have them cashed. He demanded the gold for his ‘bonds, and would have nothing else. Treasurer Gil- Allan tried to induce him to take Treasury checks but he would have none of them. He wante the gold and nothing else. He was to-day finally pald in that coin, doubre eagles being given him. weight of the whole amount was about seventy Rounds. ‘This was more than he could carry any stance. Picking up the satchel, in which he put ‘the coin, he staggered across the cash room to Mr. Wyman’s office and Immediately. like Gaspard, began to count his ducats. He sald nothing to anybody after he got the yellow coln, but, was Very demonstrative before he’ recovered ’ possession of his dues. He was evidently acrank.

Yorktown, Oct. 2.—The steamer Charleston, with the governor of Connecticut and staff and troops on arrived at about quarter to ten o'clock this morning. The pilot of the steamer did not know Yorktown harbor and anchored his boat at the mouth of York river until he could get a pilot to bring him into port. Night before last the weather was rough, and two-thirds of the troops were seasick. THE MILITARY REVIEW TO-DAY SUCCESSFUL. Yorutown, Va, Oct. 20.—The military review yvas successfully carried out, and all the organiza tions marched well. The route was a circuit of the Temple Farm, and about four miles in length, over broad fields, with nothing to obstruct the march. One hour and twenty minutes was consumed in Passing agiven point, and when the head of the procession reached the grand stand Gen. Hancock and staff rode at the head, but they then fell out of line, and with President Arthur and his Cabinet and the foreign guests and other dignitaries, re- Yiewed the troops from the grand stand.

Mowbray, conservative member of parliament for Oxford University, writes to the Times confirming Prof. Goldwin Siith’s opinion concerning the kindly feelings of Americans for English. He says that during an extended tour of the Union he heard the most affectionate expressions towards Eng- land from all classes, and he believes that the un- Teasonableness of thé Irish agitation and the char- acter of its leaders are as. thoroughly appreciated in America as In England.
