TJIK hKORETARYHIHP.
The sonata has decided to take a re
cess from Monday next until Friday ,
and most cf the Senators will go to
Yorktown. 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. A demo
cratic caucus is called for Monday
morning. ' 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.
It ia thought that the democratic can
didate L. Q. Washington , cannot bo
elected. .

PRESENTED TO THE PRESIDENT.
WASHINGTON , October 15. The of-
ficora of the army and navy were of
ficially presented to the President this
morning by Secretaries Lincoln and
Hunt.
SENATOR MAHONE ARRESTED.
WASHINGTON , October 10. 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. "

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.

people' to desperation 'also , so tHat the
military may bo let loose on them ;
but in this hope the government will
find itself deluded. Very , probably
the government may rush headlong in
it mad career now , and hope that by
imprisoning the chiefs of the league
the movement will be paralyzed ; This
is a mistake they will soon discover.
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. Such a movement
hero will bo certainly intensified , and
I can safely leave to the men at the
head of tlio movement hero the charge
of furnishing supplies for the other
side while I return to the post of
duty. "

PARIS , October 10.--Tho entire
cabinet have tendered their resigna
tion to President Grovy , who received
them , and immediately sent for Gam-
betta and charged him to form a now
ono , which task ho undertook. All this
'was in pursuance of arrangement
agreed upon last night. Thursday
morning after conferring with his fel
low ministers M. Jules Ferry , Minis
ter of Public Instruction , visited
Grovy and informed him that in view
of the approaching meeting of the
newly elected assembly the cabinet
had .resolved to request the President
to accept their resignations and to ask
Gambetta to form a now ministry ,
which should be perfectly in accord
with the now assembly. The presi
dent made feeble protests , but a per
fect understanding win in time ar
rived at , dependent only on Gambot-
ta. The counsel Friday was consumed
in certain negotiations , and all having
at last been arranged in peace their
resignations were accented. Gambotta
is now engaged in perfecting
the arrangements which have
been agreed upon. The foes of
Gambotta are disposed ( o show exult
ation at what has happened. They
say that thu weakness of man will
now bo made manifest That then it
was easy enough for him to advise the
assembly to appeal to the peonlo and
defy the government when lie was
without responsibility , but the real
test of his abilities and genuine influ
ence will ; the people IB now to come.
The air is full of surmises as to the
construction of the now Cabinet , but
nothing definite is known concerning
it. There ore predictions that it will
bo composed mora largely of conserva
tives. On the other hand , there are
predictions that Gambetta will sur
round himself with men whoso violence
und radicalism will alarm the country.

on the rail is entirely beyond compre
hension , unless it was put e malicious

to his bring a witness in defense of

"I received a letter yesterday from
the counsel of Guiteau askingwhpthor
I would give the names of prominent
men acquainted with lunacy. Ho did
not suggest that ho would call upon
mo toRo Washington in behalf of
the defense , and ho had no right to
make the statement before thu court
that I would bo a witne * . 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. Marion Sims said : "I would'
like to give my testimony , I would do *
all I could to hang him , because ho ,
and ho alone , .killed Gen. GnrfiulJ , It1
the do should desire -
onso my jittcil--
tion I would endeavor to go oven at
the risk of my health , because I think
it the duty of every citizen to do his
upmost to advance hia country. 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. "
