The republicans will do something about the secretaryship before - fore adjournment. Senator Garland read a resolution authorizing the chief clerk to perform the duties of secretary as actina secretary until thu election of that oflicor , but it appears that some democrats ore opposed to introducing it , and insist on going into the election of a secretary.

' Apparently a majority will declare in favor of the chief clerk rcso lufion , on the ground that a demo crntic secretary cannot bo elected Senator Davis will vote for the resolution , and the republicans are willing that it bo adopted.

Senator Mahono was arrested this evening about 8 o'clock , upon a warrant sworn out by Colonel Strong , of this dis trict , charging him with intent to violate late the district laws in his purpose to leave the city in order to fight a duel with Jubal A. Early , of Virginia. The warrant was placed in the hands of a detective , Captain Vernon , who served it upon Mahone. The senator seemed greatly surprised at the course affairs had taken , but expressed his willing ness to accompany the officers. Ho was therefore placed in a hack with the oilicors and was driven to Judge Sncll's residence , where the party alighted. The juil o was found in his private office. Ho was greatly sur prised to see a senator of the United States under arrest. Col.'Strong then stated the reason that influenced him in swearing out tlio warrant. Senator Mahono said ho had no thought of leav ing the city and tHeadeivthat ho would fight an old man like'Early was absurd. The judge thontook Mahono's personal recognizance that he would not leave the city for the purpose charged in the warrant , and the senator Jefc shortly after for his home. MAHONE'LEAVES WASHINGTON. United States Senator Mahorie , of Virginia , lett Washington * at 11 o'clock this morning for , Richmond. Gossip , of course' , says that } his ab sence has something , to ilQ.'witkth.e Jubal Early duel ; but "as tFe senator was under a personal ly > nd not to leave .for the purpose of engaging in a duel , the gossips are doubtless wrong. He is expected back to-morrow , as ho has no pair in the senate. WILL NOT UNSEAT DAVIS. WASHINGTON , October 1G. Senator Pendteton authorizes the statement that the democratic senate caucu < , called for to-morrow morning , will take no steps towards attempting to unseat Mr. Davis from the chair by assisting a republican to that high oflice. The report that such a design was contemplated to-day could only hare been based on the dissatisfaction of some republicans. It is cellknown that some republicans wish some thor ough republican president of the sen ate , and the question has been mooted whether Mr. Davis would now vote for Mr. Anthony to take chair. It is positively asserted , however , that neither of these matters have caucus significance. The repub licans having no caucus in view are apparently well enough satisfied with not having a democratic president pro tern. The democrats are not desirous of making public their minority par ticularly to help the majority out of any scrape some of them may think they are in. The democratic caucuses will simply consider the ad visability of the motion that the chief clerk perform the du ties of secretary of the senate until one is elected. It is understood that Mr. Davis has declared in favor of such a proceeding- The publicans will let the question of secretary rest as far us taking the initiative is con cerned , until they return from Yorktown - town , but will not oppose a demo cratic resolution as proposed above. The president will send another largo batch of appointments to the senate to-morrow. WM. K. CHANDLER. William E. Chandler is in town , getting the drift of things. Ho pro- diets that every member of Arthur's cabinet will be a practical politician , and bo appointed to strengthen the party machinery. Of Garfiold's cabi net , only Blaine , Windom and Kirk- wood were of this class. Hunt , Lin coln , James and MacVeagh have abso lutely no value in politics. Ho thinks none of the old cabinet will bo retained permanently. GOTTEATT. THE VILLIAN'K LIKE UNSAFE. WASHINGTON , October 15. The jail warden reports that ho considers Guitoau'B life unsafe so long as fho jail continues to have BO many curious visitors. Almost every day suspicious persons try hard to got a look at the assassin. To-day two men visited the jail. Ono of them rang the boll and nskod admission , which was denied. Shortly after daylight Wednesday moniinu a party was noticed in the neighborhood of the jail. They were warned off the grounda. Ono of them was seen making a careful survey - voy of the surrounding of the jail , the height of thu windows from the ground , etc , Guitcau manages to leorn of these things and they keen him in constant terror. Mr. Scovillo says Guiteau is naturally very timid : lie was very nervous while at court but hai since become more tranquil because ho was not then attacked. Scovillo makes the following statement : "Guiteau was once n Imndsoino and winning man , careful about his dress. Ho could talk with a stranger for a few minutes and then borrow money fro'm him , where ah old acquaintance could not. I have known him to fie into the Palmer house at Chicago throe different times in succession and got accommodations , although on each former occasion ho had been turned out. His moral some is BO defective that ho thought every such tiling was all right His idea was , "I haven't money now , but I will have some soon. As a lawyer , I believe ho never tried u case in his life. Finding ho could not carry on litigation , ho took to collecting. Ho would follow a man like a hound until ho got his money. Any half-witted man could do that. I will brinit this all out in the trial. Insanity willj of course , bo the strongest point raised in defense. If Guitoau is not crazy , ho ought to bo hung. " Riddlnbargor' * TJnoli. National Awoctatctl Vi&a. RICHMOND , Va. , October 15. II. H. Iliddleborger , whoso name last spring at the session ot the United States senate attained notoriety as a candidate for scargont-at-arms of the senate , to-day fought two duels , one with R. F. Borino , editor of the Richmond Satc ) , and the other wi h Gco. D. Wise , congressman-elect from that district. The duels grow out of the bitterness of the gubernatorial canvass between the fundors and re- adiustcrs , Cameron being the candi date for the latter and Jno. W. Dumol candidate for the former. Letters purporting to have been written by Mr. TJlaino , rcadjuster candidate for attorney general , to Leigh Wilson , were published by the funders' organ , bitterly denouncing prominent re- adjusters. The funder organ pave the wildest publicity to these letters with tolling effect. The Richnond Whig , the readjust- er's paper , denounced the letters as a forgery , and Friday published the con fession of Wilson , who said they were forgeries , and that his name was pro cured while he was drunk by Dumel and ise. " This confession was supplemented plomented by a statement from Rid- dleberger that the confession was pen- nine , and had been sworn to. The funding papers then published denials of the confession , ana said the denial was .a fabrication , by Riddleborger , "Wilson tfc Co. , and that Riddloberger had paid Wilson to deny that he had made the confession. The Richmond State was particularly severe in this denunciation of Riddlobergor. Fri day's editorial referred to him as a "confidence man , trading in the false muttoringa of a drunk en fellow , drawn out with money , etc. " In the same edition Wise published1 a card to the .same A affect. What occurred after wards is * nol precisely known , but Riddlebergor was in the city at the time , and a friend of Ills first waited on Mr. Bovine , editor of The State , who was understood to bo responsible for t'io article denouncing him , and loft a challenge to mortal combat from Riddleberger , which Mr. Bovine promptly'accepted. . Shortly there after Riddleborgcr dispatched a chal lenge to Wise. This was also prompt ly accepted. The first meeting was between Riddleborger and Bogino , at 8 o'clock tills morning. The duel did not come off. ELECTRIC BRIEFS National Associated Press. PROVIDENCE , R. L , October 1C.

Repression , you must remember , can bo continued just for so long a time , and no longer. A man cannot eat any more than his dinner. The progress of the land league will be affected to the extent - tent of intensifying its power , and bringing the people nearer the goal to which they are marching. By next year , the land Icacuo will bo invinci ble. There will then bo permanent forces created and woldnd together by a perfect organization such as Ireland never bofoio witnessed. " "Will your mission to this country bo rendered longer or uhortcr by the late intelligence ? " "Shorter , if any.

I am willing - . ling to believe that 'tho 'dbctoTStjTati11' ' tending him did what they considered , from a modi al point all that > tnuK needed , and oven if they did make a. mistake , it is plain that Mr. Garfield must have died sooner or later from the effectsof the bullet.1 Dr. J.

In reference to Guiteau's insanity I believe - liovo ho is insane , and gives evidence of his insanity in requesting my at tendance at his trial. There was no physician in , lho country who could have saved Gun. Gijrfiold's life. I think it pouftihlo that Gunn , of Chicago cage , at Ardnoss , of the eamo city , may tender their services , but I am mistaken in the men if they do not injure the assassin more than do him good.
