THE Nowtnation of Pay Director Watmough as Paymaster general of the navy willcome up in } the Senate on Monday next. It 1s known that everal prominent Senators will make a dead set guinst the nomination, and it is doubtful if it Will be confirmed. WOMAN AS AN OFFICE SEEKER.—It 1s very no- ticeable on the books of the White House and the ‘yernment departments that the number of fe- ased largely cations are by ho means confined to asking for clerksbips in the | several departinents. The female mind secms to be bent on po: S. v D movement on the post offices throughout the coun- try has been tnaugurated by the gentler sex.

Mr. Gilfillan, who has been in the clty several days, has the strongest support of any candidate for the place. and {3 at present at. the head of the list. Several other people who want Mr. Upton’s place have urged that to have a fillan Assistant Secretary and a Gilfillan ‘Treasurer would not do, in’ that It would cause official confusion. ‘There'would not likely be any more confusion arising therefrom than there hag deen in having an Upton Assistant Secretary. and an Upton Second Controller, ‘There 1s no relation ship Whatever between the two Gilfllans. ConGressMEn’s Day aT THE WaITE Hovse.—To- day being Saturday, President Arthur only re- ceived members of Congress.

Among those who saw the President were the fol- lowing: Senators Ingalls, MeDill, Cameron (W1s.), Sawyer, Harrison and Beck and’ Representatives Lindsey, Dingley, McKinley, Hammond (\. Y. Belmont, Neal, Marsh, Ford and Van Horn. Rep? resentative R. P. Flower, who defeated Mr. Astor tn New York ‘in the recent election, also called. The number of members of Congress who cali upon the President nowadays is larger than usual. So many matters have ac affecting at- fairs in the different states that the member of Congress must per force call upon the President, who is devoting most of his attention to such bu: ness, and wili continue to do So until it is disposed of. Then the rush of Congressmen will be over, although there is no doubt that they will—as In the past—continue to monopolize a food deal of that portion of the day set apart by the President to receive callers. ‘THE JAPANESE LEGATION.—The early return home of Mr. Yoshida, the Japanese minister, will be greatly regretted by his very numerous friends tn Washington. His government, as we understand, desires to proft by his abllittes and experience in the conduct of affairs at Yeddo, and it is quite cer- tain that in his new sphere of ‘public duty he will do inuch to strenctiven the cordial retations 1 existing between the United States and Japai His residence tn Washington has extended over a period of seven years, and it will be pleasant to- Feeull the fact thit his list offtctal act fu thts coun- try was to recommend his government to purchase alegation here, which has already been accom- plished.

One fact connected with the purchase of Ainerican property here by the Japa Hovernment 18 quite significant at this partictflar time—it was paid for with Japanese gold; nor Was the land presented by our government, as Was the case with Japan when she offered without equivalent to assign certain lands in Yeddo for an American legation.

Guiteau became violently ex- cited and exhausted all his wealth of anathema in denouncing the witness. Below 1s given in detail the important parts of Mr. Shaw's testimony: ‘The Witness.—From the first time that I knew him I knew that he was vain and egotistical, and that he had a great desire for publicity.

He saw so them, aud he read “Abner B. Newcombe, being duly sworn, swears that he fs an officer of the United Stites, and is an agent thereot,” &e., to the amounts due to the as- sertion of Howgate that he was disposing of his | property. He also read the affidavit of Lieut, L.V. Coxiare that the investization was going on. He cited rule 2 of the court rules to show that it was unnecessary to set forta in the pleadings the fact that the party is a pleader—the signature being sufficient. It was about the first time In modern days that the integrity of a declaration had been assailed by a motion to quash. It could only be | done by demurrer, and that would bring all the law before the court. ‘The court intimated that if Mr. Wilson could say anything in addition to what Mr. Cuppy had sald as to the practice, he would hear him. ‘Mr. Wilson said the question was whether the United States had a cas? in court watch the court could recognize; whether their object could. be reached by motion to dissolve or attacking the declaration? He claimed that’ their be- ing no authority for the case this form, it brought, the paper was worth nothing.

Mr. Cuppy.—Here's a case in 33d California, Ar.

The Court said that this was acase where the defendant on the record should be held to a strict Practice. ‘The aflidavits show a large defalcation, an enormous breach of trust, and there was no reason why he should not be held to a strict practice. The attachment depended upou the streagth of the affidavits, and he had never known a. case Where, when the trath of the aMdavits was admitted, the attachment was dissolved. The only way’ to dissolve the attachment was to. trav- erse the truth of the aflidavits, or want of con- formity to the statutes, or demur tothe sufficiency of the declaration. For these reasons and others, he thought the practice erroneous and should de- cline to grant the motion wituout, however, any prejudice to the polnts raised. ‘They could adopt either of the three courses named. ‘The counsel lor defense asked to note an appeal from the ruling—to save their rights, Sadia The House Offices, APPOINTMENTS BY CHIEF CLERK MCPHERSON DAY—OTHER MATTERS.
