The publication in The Star purport
ing to give u ropoit of the cabinet
meeting iinmodiutely after the pros-
id out's return from Yorktbwn , at
which ho took Attorney General Mac-
Veagh to task for not milking proper
preparations for the prosecution of
Unitoiu , is pronounced to-day by a
prominent member of thu cabinet us
wholly false. There was a full moot
ing of the cabinet after President
Arthur's letum from Yorktown at
which the Guitean prosecution was
spoken but there was not a word of
disagreement or complaint of anykind
on the subject and the president and
attornoy-gener.xl fully agreed on all
: > ointa and the utmost cordiality was
observed between thorn and between
ill the members of the administration.
The story is entirely untrue as far as
it rotates to any pretended disagrco-
uontor dispute between the president
ind attorney-general , and there was
not then , nor at any time , the slightest
reflection or intimation of disatisfac-
; ion with MucYe.igh on the part of the
president.

; he killing of A. J. Lane , formerly
special deputy collector. inthoJ3econd
district of Georgia. " near Huntsville ,
now discloses the fact that Lane wa
lot killed because of former con nee-
ion with the internal revenue service.
NO TKVTII IN TKK UUMOHH.
Ex-Secretary Windom states posi-
ivoly that as far as any show ot ill-
eoling in any c.ibinct meeting under
'resident Arthur is concerned that
lublic stories of any outbreak bo-
ween the president and the attorney
; eneral are utterly without foundii-
; ion. Sociotary Blaine is not expect
ed to return to Washington before
'hursday.
INDIA. . ' I'ONXKltKNl'K.
A delegation of Sac and Fox.In -
liana had a conference with the com-
nissionor of Indian atTuirs to-day ,
'ho Indiana claim $00,000 to b ow-
ng them by the govsrnmont and the
attcr aiguilles readiness to pay if the
ndians give a receipt and allow a
eiuius to bo taken. From a auporati
ions motive they hesitate to put
heir names to a paper dud
allow u census to bo taknn.
ABOUT THAT OAHINHV MKKHNO.
It is stated by persons whose poai-
ion make 'their knowledge positive ,
hat Attorney-General MucYua h
ias not attended a meeting of thu
abinet since the president's return
rein Yorktown , and that he has not
md an interview v.ith the president
inco Monday , the 17th of October ,
which is the datu of the president's do-
mrture for Yorktown. On that day
ho attoinoy-gonoral called at the
> rosident'R otlice , and had a half
lour's interview. Of course what
rannpirod is known only to those
ircsent. The president returned to
Itis city on the lilst. Attorney-
General MacVoagh left for Miiladel-

It has long been the pious custom
f our people with the closing of the
'ear to look back upon the blessings
irought to them in the changing
ourao of the se.isom , and to return
luuiks to the all-giving source from
whom they How , and although at this
toriod , when the fulling loaf adnion-
shea us that the time of our sacied
uty is at hand , our nation still lies
( i the shadow of a great bereavement ,
ml the mourning which has filled our
tearta still finds Us sorrowful oxpros-
ion towards God , bcforo whom wo
ml lately bowed in grief andfiupplica-
ion , yet countless bonufits whichlmvo
icon shovrored upon 'tis during the

yet even this calamity has boon torn
perod and in a manner sanctified bj
enormous compassion for sulTorori
which has been called forth through
put our land. For all these things it
is moot that the volco of the nation
should go u to Oed in devout horn

thui , president of the United Status ,
do recommend that all puoplo observe
Thursday , the 21th day of Kovombor ,
as a day of national thanksgiving and
prayer , by censing so far as they m j
from their secular labors and meeting
in their several places of worship
there to join in numbing honor am
praise to almighty God whoso goodnesf
has been RO manifest in oui

THE IIU.STKD DANK.
WASHINGTON , November 7. Hon.
A. L. Keasby , United States district
attorney for New Jersey arrived in
thia city this morning , and had a long
consultation during the forenoon with
Comptroller Knox in reference to the
broken Newark bank , and examined
with considerable minuteness into the
records of the treasury jegarding the
institution. Up was not prepared to
night to give information that came
into his possession by this examina
tion. Ho said' it was impossible for
the trial to bo held before January ,
: ia the next term of court would not
bo hold till the 3d of that month.
Meanwhile the investigation will bo
pieBsed as fully as may bo necessary.
I'ho government will be ready at that
time , although a most complicated
system of accounts , existing over a
jcties of years , has to bo examined.

STAR ROUTE CASES
WAKHINUTON , November 7. Dis-
: rict Attorney Corkhill before pro
ceeding with thu star route cases this
noining arose to what ho termed a
personal explanation , and replied to
: orUin newspaper criticisms on his
illeged conduct in relation to the
mm'cution. Ho claimed that the
illicu was in .bettor condition undur
lis management than in nny time for
on years bofoio. Ho had , ho said ,
10 other connection with the wtivr
oute cases than such aa ho had been
oquosted by the attorney-general to
ake. It was at this request that ho
ignod the information. The statement
hat he had adjourned thegrand jury ,
md thus rendered proOeduro by in-
ormation necessary , he characterized
, s false and malicious , alleging that
ho attorney-general on July 10 but
ras uwaro that ho gland jury would
to adjouniodChn October .1 , Judge
'ox endorsed Mr. Corkhill'H ntato-
nont as true , BO far us his knowledge
rent.
Colonel William A. Cook , special
ounspl for the government , then bean -
; an his argument , llo hn'/nn by Sn
aking divine ail on his ellbrtr , and
hen proceeded at oncu to
rguo in favor of thu Round-
loss of the procedure bu un
iy information. Ho claimed that the
iwyera had confined their ofToita to
> ofogiing { the whole question and
Tomiacs to narrow the dinciiaDion to
ho ninall possible circle and then to
nake tint circle in luminous us pos-
ible. Iii regard to Col. Ulins' remark
bout which Col. Ingorsoll * had niado
t > much fun , that if the court had any
oubt about filing an insinuation it
hould allow ono to bo filed and lethe
ho parties accused go to trial ,
Col. Cook B < ud Col. Ingf'rmill oxom-
> lified the truth of the poet'a Hiatu-
nent that " .i little learning ia a dan-
orous thing. " [ Liughtor. ] Inu'er-
oil , ho said , would rather keep com-
> nny with a little Illinoia justice of
ho peace than with tliol gioat Story ,
ho had decided what Mr. Hlifia had
[ noted.
After the midday receut Col. Cook
esumed his remarks , contending that
ho affidavits were BUflicient to war-
ant the information being tiled , The
fact that Mr. James , in his cnnnclty
postnmslor-geiieral. signed his nnmi
to the informstion took it out of the
ordinary realm , and as nuch it shouh
bo regarded. It is stated that thi
matters set forth are without hii
knowledge , llo contended that tlml
fact raised raised it higher than tin
information. Ho claimed that ii
amounted to more than the infonna
tion bpcouso it embraced a knowle lgi
of the facts net forth.
In pursuing his argument in defense
6f the star route infoimation this nf.
tornoon Cook read the affidavit ol
J'ostniastor-Goneral James which , hi
said , was the oath of ono plnced in
charge of the postoffico department
not of ono cauually connected with it.
Ho says this knowledge ia tint eimplj
belief and information hut is tlu
knowledge , information and bohul
and allocations ilorivou direct from
the papers and records of the otlico.
It is not a loose , indirect Mortion ol
ono need to indulge in wild Riispicion ,
Hejread Dotoctivu Woodward's alh-
davit and said his , too , Was tlm HUHIII
statement of a government ollicoi ln :
had access to records. Wh.it more
could the court demand. It \\o ,
theicfore , not correct to drcluo that
these statements had been ba t > d upon
mere information uiul be
lief. They could Iw "i-copti-d
certainly upon the grounil of probable
causa fully backed Up by the cnii.s'itu-
tion or other authontit.s , u nunitiei of
which hu read. Hopnut : "Tim information -
formation comes with high flici'd
panction. What was tlio vuluu of
these derailment H ? How em they
maintain their purity if they i ro not
allowed , in accordance with the au
thorised practice that conies down to
us baptized and caiuinir.ud by thu
practice of our ancestors into tins
country. The information could only
be rescinded , it not sustained by thu
allidavits on which it waa tomirled. "
With this suggestion ho closed his ar
gument , and will be followed tomorrow

THE ARMY.

WAMIINOTON , November 7.-Hon.
W. T. Sherman's annual lopoil t" the
secretary of war has been ooinji'ed
by thu leport of Adjutant Geniu.il
Drum , already uublished , iuspo. m-
General Sackett and of the coinum nl-
ing generals of the divisions , uui
douartments , to which reference : s
made in the report itself. In tinin
port the general siy that great i in
gress has been madu during the i oui
in collecting und locating hostile In
dians on teservatioim. It nukei no
special recommendations touching In
dian matters. The yon oral recom
mends an increase of 20 per cent m
the number of private soldiers , which
is made necessary by thogrowlh of the
frontiers , and says that in ten yean
our frontioia have so extended
under the protection of our small
army as to add at least 81,000,000,000
to the tixablo wealth of the nation ,
has enabled emigrants to settle upon
remote country and is the principal

try. When the naUonal treasjirv A'as'
poorand loadodlwjUviicb ; 5rthTy ,
endeavored togracefully subsls'f , but
they now appeal for for relict and I do
most camcHtly ask the honorable sec
retary of war to apply to congress to
repeal that clause of the existing law
which limits the enlisted force ot the
army to 25,000 men and to enact that
in each company in the army there
may be enlisted ut least 50 piivntcs ,
making 02 enlisted men and ; i offices
to each of the A'JQ companies , thus
increasing the army proper to li(5,0 ( > 0
unlisted men which number in prac
tice will probably never exceed 25- ,

discusses the question of thu selection
of the superintendent of West Point ,
whether it should bs fiom the on-
oineering or military departments ;
whether Wostrointshalliobncktol811 !
nd become an engineers school , or b <
ry academy , and says that
Wmt Point Is intended to umko sol
diers , not profossioiurl enRincors , and
the word "aoldior" embraces rvory-
thing in war. If the engineer be u
bettor soldier than thu infantry ofll-
cor , then lot him in war and peace
have nil the honow and emoluments ,
but our recent experience does not
prove the asseition. The honors of
4ho civil war were not confined to the
engineers , therefore I trust you will
use your influence to lo.i\o the selec
tion of the head of the military acad
emy , aa now , from oil arms of
the service. The mgnnlliiij , ' system so
essential to thu army is taught nt
West Point and sevora'l othui points.
Foit Leavenwoith has been made a
school of application for cavalry and
infantry , and will bo opened by Janti-
aiy 1 , 1882. Therowill be habitually
acarrison of one company of artillery ,
four compinieH of infantry , and four
of cavalry , to which \\ill be uttichud
for instruction ono officer of each
regiment of infantry and catnlry fora
tlolail of two years. Those will re
ceive iiutruction in military art , and
then rejoin their piopur reijiineiita , to
bo succfodud by a Himilar detail uvury
two years , ao that in time the wlnlo
army will bo embled to keep up
with progress in the science of war.
This will complete the nyatem , and I
am curtain that no matter how mid-
ilen a war may coino upon ua wo will
bo prepared for it , and thu regular
iriuv will ha thus better enabled to
impart to the vast m.isn of volunteers
all knowledge of the ait of war that is
possessed by thu moat ukillful nations
on earth. In conclusion I beg to assure -
sure jou that the instructed men und
otlicers of the present aimy of the
United States , in phyuKpie , in intelli
gence , in patriotism , and devotion to
the honor of the eonntij , will com-
