GROSVENOR’S ILLNESS REPORTED—GEN. SWAIM’S (CROSS-EXAMINATION RESUMED, ‘The red parlor of the Ebbitt House again shone refulgent with gold lace this morning. The Swaim court-martial, which adjourned for the Christmas holidays on the 20th instant, reassembled this morning. ‘The faces of the members ot the court beamed with good humor, showing that the merry Influence of the season had had its effect even upon. | the proverbial crusty dignity of military officials. All of the members of the court were present early. Major Gardner, the judge advocate, and his asso- clate, Mr. Jeff Chandler, came in promptly on time. Mr. Shellabarger, counsel for defense, when he ar- rived was accompanied uy his law partner, Mr. Jere Wilson, Mr. Grosvenor, tr. Shellabarger's associate, was absent. ‘The Space in the rear of Gen, Schofleid’s chair was occupied by a number of lady spectutors. Only a few of the chairs placed outside the bar of tue court for the general public were occupied, aS the persons in the habit of fre- quenting the court had probably forgotten the date of reassembling. When Gen. Swaim came in he took a seat at once in the witness chair. THE ABSENCE OF MR. GROSVENOR. When the court opened, Kir. Shellabarger re- ferred to the absence of ns assoctate, Mr. Grosve- nor, and stated that Mr. Grosvenor had been taken Violently ill, and was now at his home. ‘The latest advices froth lit indicated that the prospects of his being here were not_good. Mr. Sheliabarger also cailed attention to propositions made by the Judge advocate as to the final argument to the effect he government might watve the opening but ake tWO speeches In closing If the defense made two speeches. He said lie would in course of time submit a motion on this subject. ‘The Juage advocate sald he had received a letter from Messrs. Shellabarger and Grosvenor on this Subject dated Washington, December 26th, and ad. dressed to him in Washington. He intimated tha the writers knew that a letter so addressed would fot reach him promptly, as he was then in New York. He did hot receive the letter, consequently, unul December 30th. CROSS-EXAMINING GEN. SWAIM. Gen. Swaim made a number of corrections in the report of his testimony, and his cross-examination was then resume, ‘The witness admitted that the account furnished him by Bateman « Co., covering the period just prior to Brown's leaving the firm, showed that bis, (SWalm’s) account was overdrawn about $317, and Uhat he so understood the Ngures, and had novcom- iained to Brown ubany Ume of the figures in this ACcOULY He alioadmitied that the amount of his deposits with the firin subsequently to this was about 4377, and that at the time the account show- ing the balance of $317 azainst him was turnished him he had no stock transactions pending with the frm of Bateman & Co.

Friends of Speaker Carlisle who ought to know Just how he feels, say he does not want a cabinet position, and does not consider himself as among those Ukely to be selected as the counselors of President Cleveland. He has already declared that he 1s a candidate for re-election as Speaker, and his friends assert that he prefers that position to any cabinet place, eveu If he had the refusal of the lat- ter, ‘Those who are supporting Mr. Carlisle for re- election express confidence in his success.

Boudinot, of the Cherokee Nation, says that 6,500,000 acres of the lands of that Nation are now held under leases for grazing purposes. Outside of that Nation about 4,000,000 acres, belonging to the Cheyennes, Arrapahoes and other tribes, are leased to owners’of cattle. Col. Boudinot asserts that there is a law on the statute book positively for- bidding such leases, and he also denies that In- dians are employed ‘by the lessees as herders, for, he sald, “Indians don’t make good herders.” More Comfort for Olficehoiders. A CAMPAIGN INTERVIEW WITH GOV. CLEVELAND RE- CALLED. ‘The Washington correspondent of the New York World, who interviewed Gov. Cleveland early in the campaign, recalls at uhis time the sentiments then expressed as follows: In further explanation of bis views in answer to the question: “Would you then retain republicans in office where they have performed falthtul ser- vice?” he said: “Certainly, I do not believe in turn- ng out. good men because their views may differ from mine. Why, the best proof of my belief in this Is to have you look at the records in the state omtces here, ‘There are republicans immediately about me who were appoluted by Cornell, my pre- decessor, ‘The adjutant general's oftice is full of Tepubileans, but they are all good cierks, trained and efficient. Why should I turn them out?” ‘Here ts a question uns answer that may interest some of the workers.” Q. “What do you say to the men who worked hard for your election when they come to ask for the usual rewards for party services?” A. “I have very little of thatsort of ting to bother me.

PAYMASTER SMYTH IN TOWN. He Makes His Appearance at the Pay- master General's Office to. Pay Over the $5,500 Drawn at Savannah. “Have you heard anything about Paymaster Smyth?” asked a Stax reporter of Paymaster Gen- era} Rochester this morning. “Yes, sir,” was the reply, “there sits that officer in the next room,” pointing through an open door. “He arrived here this morning trom New York,” continued the general, “and voluntarily surren- dered himself with all the money in his possession. We are just tintshing the count of nis money. He drew at Savannan $5,500, and the amount he has turned over is $5,150. He is now about to draw his salary ($280) for December, which he had not Youched. ‘That will bring the amount to $5,400, and his friend who came with him has ‘in’ his Pocket, he says, the #100 that ts needed to make good the whole amount. So you ses there ‘Was not so much absconding and defaulting 43 was. reported. The whole trouble was undoubtedly caused by a Christmas spree. If he had intended ‘absconding he could have taken a much larger amount with him. He had over $8,000 to his credit im Savannah and over #4,000 in New York, with his tmonth's salary stil due,’ Ast was, he hid simply drawn the amount necessary to make hts monthly Payments at St. Augustine.” PAYMASTER SMYTH TELLS HIS STORY TO A STAR REPORTER. A few moments later Tue Star reporter was conversing with Major Smyth. He found him a well appearing young man, about thirty years of age, of medium height, with dark hair, neatly brushed, clear, rudy complexion, dark eyes, and dreased in a well made suit. On his upper lip was a dark mustache, only about a week old, and tn his Scart he wore a coliege society pin. ‘fo the re- Porter he told the following story: “I got to drinking in Savannah, and when I drew the money to make my St. Augustine payments I didn’t know what I was doing. ‘The fact is, I don’t know when I left Savannah. All I know 1s that T regained consciousness on a steamer that had nearly reached New York. I arrived In that city yesterday and at once telegraphed my pay clerk at Savannah that I would be back assoon as I possi- Diy could get there and fix matters all right. He Teplied that tt would be best for me to report to the paymaster general in Washington. I followed hls advice and here I am.” “How about the story that you were seen riaing in a ack last Tuesday with your mustache shav off, a8 if to prevent Identification?” asked the re- r. “That was ridiculous,” was the reply, “for 1t 13 well-known among my friends in Savannah that I shaved my mustache before Christmas, that I might give it a fresh start.” WHAT WILL BE DONE ABOUT IT. ‘The reporter learned that there no longer was any suspicion in the minds of army officials of any intention to defraud on the part of Paymaster Smyth, and his financial matters were settled in a manner satisfactory to the accounting officers, Paymaster General Rochester at once reported to the Secretary of War the facts in the case, Itis a juestion yet Lo be decided whether any official no- tice will be taken of Paymaster Smyth's erratic conduct. He has a great deal of influence which will be worked in his behalf. Om account of his fainily, 13 thought that the ‘matter will be over- looked) if possible. If he is court-martialed, W will be for conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentic- man. Suosequentiy Tas Star reporter asked the Secretary of War what would be done about the matter. He replied that {twas rather premature todiscuss that phase. He had but just learned, he Sald, the circumstances tn the case. The man had \urned up of his own accord and straightened out hls oaneial affairs. "He desired to deliberate upon the mutter before deciding what action should be taken. For the present everything ts right, he Sald. and nothing 1s necessary to be done imuledt- ve IT 18 ASSUMED that the Secretary of War will at present only de- elde whether Paymaster Smyth shall be placed under arrest at once, and his movements confined to the limits of Washington, or whether he shall be allowed to visit his home in’ Albany pending future action by the Wardenartment. It 1s the expressed opinion of prominent army officers that the only alternative lett Paymaster Smyth {s to hand in his Testgnation; that while he may not have been guilty of intent to commit fraud. yet he has shown imself unfitted to have the caré of public funds, ‘They say that if he does not resign he will undoubt- edly be court-martialed. ¢ A DISPATCH PROM MAJOR SMYTH’S CLERK. Paymaster General Rochester sald last night that he had received a dispatch from the clerk at Major Smyth's office stating that Major Smyth drew $5,500 trom the Mer- chants’ National bank of Savannah on Mon- day, and had not been to the office since, but had been seen on Tuesday with his mustache shaved off riding in a carriage on which was a new and cheap-looking trunk, and that 1t was supposed ne iad left the city by a southern train, and had gone to Florida. General Rochester said’ that Colonel Carey, of the paymaster general's office, had been directed to go to Savannali to take charge of the office and papers there. Major Smyth has been in the pay department of the army for about two Years, and until last February was stationed in Montana, but was transferred at that Ume to Sa- vannah. ' He is about 30 years of age and 1s un- married,, SOCIETY, While all of the receptions yesterday were very Pleasant, and many of them equally as attractive as any of the past, it seems to be generally con- ceded that, taken as a whole, they were far less largely attended than those of previous years. In Many Of the houses which heretofore scarcely af- forded standing room on New Year occasions there was an absence of that throng of visitors at any one time which sometimes marred the pleasure of guests and hostesses, and In that sense the day may be said to have been pieasanter than usual. ‘The “ternperance refor compact” alluded to on Wednesday, was adhe to by those who had re- solved to offer no intoxicating beverages, and the resolute three hundred ladies who had signed the temperance resolution must have been considera— bly increased by other adherents of the laudable movement, for there was an observable absence cf liquor at many of the housea which heretofore have been noted for their supply of cheering glasses. But the gentlemen in many instances seem to have tacitly set about not to be outdone by the ladies in this respect, and many of them declined all invita- Uons togo the refreshment tables, It 1s to be re- gretted on many accounts if the apparent dimint- Uon of callers yesterday indicated a lack of interest tn the custom of New Year calling, but the fact re- Toains that many of those who declared that they would make but few if any calls adhered to that resolution yesterday. It was also generally remarked during the day that, there were fewer army and navy officers in attend- ance at the President’s reception than heretofore. Last year, when the head of the column was leay- ing the department to march over to the White House the end had not yet started, so that the col- umn formed aconnecting line thence tothe War and Navy department and the White House. Yes- terday, however, the column hardly extended half Way, and at noon, when the officers were recetved by the President, the crowd Inside the East room ‘Was nothing like as large as usual. A number of the young ladies divided their time yesterday so as to recetve at certain places up to 2 o’clock, and then elsewhere after that hour. In that way, while some gentlemen had the good for- tune to meet the same ladies twice during the day, others were deprived of the pleasure of seeing them at all. ‘The german of the Wednesday club, on New Year eve, was @ successful and handsome affair, quite largely attended. Although Gen. and Mrs, Logan received very nu- merous calls yesterday, none were more ring than those of the fifteen hundred Sere wae filed through the house at an early hour of the day ‘to pay their respects. ‘There will be a large ball given by Minister West at the British Legation on the 6th of January, in honor of the debut of Miss Flora West. ‘To-night the receptions of Mrs. Ricketts and Mra. Berry, from 8 to 12, promise to be large and bril- Mant affairs, and many guests will no doubt alter- nate between the two. ‘Mrs. Commissioner Loring will begin her regular Saturday receptions this week. ‘To-morrow all of the ladies living on Connecticut avenue and that vicinity will begin their regular Saturday receptions. ‘Miss Gay’s Shakespeare class will be recetved on Sauurday morning, January 3d, at 11:30, at the Tealdence of Mr. Justice Bradley, 201 I street.

INAUGURATION WORK, A Busy Day at the Headquarters, ARRANGING YOR THR PROCESSION, THE BALL, THE SUPPER, ETC. ‘With the new year the work of preparing for the Inauguration ceremontes appears to have received & fresh impetus The headquarters on F street Presented a busy and bustling appearance to-day. Appilcations of various kinds were received. One ‘man wanted to get the privilege of running a coffee and sandwich stand in the reservation at 9th street and Pennsylvania avenue, ‘These reservations along the Avenue will be placed at the disposal of the committee and be made a source of revenue. Butlders were present and were taking figures from the plans of the Pension building to form the basis of bids for laying the temy floor, which will require a large amount of lumber. Persons are already making inquiries relative to positions to be assigned to various organizations in line, but the composition and order of the procession has not yet been determined. Kepresentatives of various com- mittees appeared at headquarters to-day and con- sulted with Chairman Berret, of the general com- mittee, and Chairman Galt, of the executive com- mittee, upon vurlous details. ‘The supper at the ball is now a subject of con- siderable ‘Aiscussion, there being various opinions as to what Is a reasonable price for a supper, what Testrictions should be placed upon a contractor, &c. It ls thought by some members of the commit tee that It ts best to put the supper in charge of some man of experience in this city, and to have an understanding as to price. Col Wm. Wilkinson, ‘the Saratoga hotel proprietor, was at headquarters ‘this morning and had along talk with Messrs. Ber- Tet and Galt, in relation to the supper. ORGANIZATIONS WHICH AKE COMING, Among the letters received to-day was one from Capt. Geo. W. «Marlette, commanding the Washington Continentals, of Schenectaty, N. ¥., Inquiring for quarters for 100 men, including drum corps and honorary members.

Of course the committee cannot pay the expenses of any organization, ‘but it will see that they secure rope quarters.” Mr. L. P, Wright, the chairman of the public comfort committee, had considerable experience at the last tnauguration. Hesays there ‘was No trouble then in providing accommodations. ‘The 7th regiment of New York, which has aban- doned tied Sl price trip to this city, bad been pro- vided with quarters in the W. LI. corps armory, but members of the regiment were a little fastid- tous and did no: like such an arrangement. A member of the public comfort committee stated toasTaR rter that he thought such arrange- ments would be made as that persons who ex a7 to get extortionate orices for sleeping ons will suffer. After the pubiic comfort commit- tee organizes next Monday an office will be opened, and a register kept of every person who has ac- commodations to let. By proper distribution it 13 thought everyone can be accommodated without a great deal of crowding, even accepting the highest estimates of the ni of visitors who wiil come ‘to the city. ‘One gentleman who visited headquarters to-day said he had rented sixteen halis, and would rent more if he found demand for them.

Already he had made contracts to accom- fate 1,700 men. ‘The coiamiites will write to the various mem- bers of the cabinet with the view of securing the use of corridors in the public buildings for the ac- commodation of visiting inliitary. THE FIRST SUGGESTION. ‘The suggestion book proposed by Mr. Willett has been prepared and now les on the table in the main room at the committee headquarters. The heading of the book is as follows: “Any suggestion calculated to promote the success of the inaugural ceremonies should be written in this book.” Only one suggestion had been written to-day. ‘This was anonymous, and read: “I suggest that every mem~ ber of a committee be assessed $100.” ‘A DEMOCRATIC BOOTBLACK. Among the communications handed in to-(ay was a highly tlluminated parchment, addressed to Chairman Galt, containing the application of James: B. Contee, colored, for the bootblack privileges at the inaugural ball, “Having labored in the vine- yard of my party,” Mr. Contee says, “I ask this courtesy. Would’ refer you to the democratic members of the Forty-sixth, Forty-seventh and Forty-eighth Congresses.” INAUGURATION NOTRS. ‘The work of putting the temporary canvas root on the new Pension building will be put off as long as possible, for fear {that the heavy snows which may come should compel its reconstruction.
