that there is an end of complaint respecting

otlha new 'CiKje'of 'ntei national yules for
,,tbe prevention jif.collisions on the high seas.
Reaching our domestic business, President
Arthur olleis an elaborate discussion of
questions in finance and revenue. The
Treasury is in a satisfactory condition, slid
the surplus of the present fiscal year is esti
mated at $.130,000,000, which is by' far the
largest surplus since the year 1617. when it
was three millions higher. The recom
uieudatians of the; Secretary nTlne Treasury
lespeetlng tho retirement of silver certifi
cates unci the limitation of silver coinage are
sustained by the President. It is estimated
that the entire debt of the country can be
paid In ten years; but, in view of the pres
ent heavy taxation, the President holds that
the revenue might wisely be reduced, even
it the payment nf the debt be delayed, and
he therefore advises the abolition of all In
ternal revenue faxos, except those ,up.n to
bacco and 1 Icoholic liquors, nnd the revision
erthe tariff laws. These important ques
tions of public economy will doubtless be
fully debated in the present Congress.
The President holds that the strength of
the army should.bo increased to 30,000 en
listed men, that tho navy should be "tlion
ougly rehabilitated," that the fortifications
and roast defences should be improved, and
that the efficiency of our torpedo system
should be increased by strengthening the
engineer battalion. Thn rinslnl service 1

Congress Is again invited to postal savings
banks: the Piesident, in referring to the
Star route businets, calls for the vigorous
prosecution of those guilty of fraud. Legis
lative action is needed upon the Indian
question, which the President thinks is now
iu the way of being finally solved. It is the
duty of Congress and tho Executive to array
against the barbarous system nf polygamy
nil the power which they can wield. The
Government should sustain the work of
education, and such aid lor its promotion as
can be constitutionally atTorded should be
given. Claims for pensions under the Ar
rears act have lately been very heavy, and
the President would slve the Commissioner
of Pensions such additional assistance as is
Deeded for their speedy settlement. There
Is a Ion,; passage of the message in which
tha President discusses civil service reform,

tures. The decline of our merchant marine

The President elo.es his message with
some remarks upon the question recently
before the country of Presidential inability,
tu which he hoirs Congress will speedily
give consideration.

While the debt (statement for Novem
ber shows that the reduction of the pnb
Iio debt, less cash iu the Treasury, was,
daring the month, Id round numbers,
$7.2GO,000, tho nctnnl reduction! of the
debt won only $3,167,000, the word debt
there including alt classes of obligations.
The reduction of the. bonds debt wan $5
600,000 This inclu'defi the interest-bear;
ing dibt,and the matured debt on which
interest has censo'd. The .reduction of
the Interest-benriuR debt was only $2,
400,000. A comparison of the statement
issued December 1st with that Issued on
the i st of July. shows that sthcelue be
pinning of the fiscal year the reduction
of the interest-bearing deblbas betn over
S75.000.000. This is an average of over
$15,000,000 per mouth. The reduction
of the total debt, including all classes of
obligations nnd leas cash in the Treas
ury, faas been a little over $02,000,000
since the beginning of the fiscal yar, or
An average of over $12,000,000 per month.
This is an unprecedented record in the
financial bi-itoryof tho country. It is
improbable that It will be repeated dar
ing the remaining months of tbo current
fUcal year, with the exerption of that
part of the record relating to the interest-bearing
bonds. Secretary Folger can
undoubtedly redeem $75,000,000 of bonds
between now and ctrt July, provided
that he adopts the policy of drawing
heavily upon the Treasury r. sir re. But
if he should depend rpon the surplus
revenues the redemption will fall far short
of $75,000,000. Borne time before, the
end ot the lineal year there will be nn ex
traordiuary expenditure of $20,000,000
for pension dencicneies.

it has been marked by violent storms and

WASHINGTON.

Washington, D. C, Dec. 3,1681
This bas been Guiteau's week at the
City Hall, and the crowd that has been
moving to that edifice during the past
few days bas been mere persistent than
ever. This morning there was a perfect
jam for twp hours in the vicinity of the
cast wiug, and those whose business gave
them the right to a space in the interior
had to make a. fight to get there. Coun
sel on both sides, witnesses, jury, court
officials were caught in the tide and the
utmost encleavois of tne police were
necessary to extricate tbem. The result
of this crush was a delay of some twenty
minutes in the opening of the court. The
oourt room itself seemed full to bursting.
As on previous days, four out of five of
the audience were ladies. There were
two or three rows of ladles standing in
the rear of the raised seats, where tbey
remained during the sitting of the court,
clinging to unything they could lay their
hands on, A good many prtminentiu
dlvidnals, among them Acting Attorney
Phillips, several Congressmen and others
were shut outside and their efforts to gain
admission were fruitless. The prisoner
looked paler and more baggard this morn
ing. The restless, haunted look appears
to have permanently settled in his coun
tenance. A government expert on insan
ity who talked with Guiteau to. day says
that if the trial should last two months
the prisoner would be hopelessly imbe
cile. It is apparent from the cross-ex
amination of Guiteau, as well as in the
opening speech of Col. Corkhill, that the
prosecution intends to show, if possible,
that the assassin in firing the fatal shot
was more moved by viudictiveness and
revenge than by any "inspiration,
It
has already been established that the
conception of the idea of murder occurred
just about the time the President, v. earied
of Guiteau's annoying persistence, gave
biin to understaud that be would not lis
ten to him. That the assassin is of a
malignant, vindictive disposition, has
been shown upon several occasions. Ill
abuse and, no doubt, slanderous accusa
tion against bis former wife, becsuse she
was called to testify for the-government-,
furnished an illustration of the revenge
ful spirit within him. He stoutly insist
ed that both Mason and Jones should be
punished to the fullest extent of the la'
for attempting tbs very deed be is now
seeking to justify in himself. The prose
cution will probably elicit many facts
going to show that Guiteau was "inspir
ed" to commit muder by tits derilisk
nature, and thai-ire 'dlifit'to gratify "his
malice. It is an accepted theory that an
unsound mind cannot dwell rationally
and consecutively upon any subject, but
that it becomes flighty and incoherent.
If this be true, then it is a point against
the insanity of the assassin. Since bo
bosii eon on the stand be bas gone over
bis entire life, relating incidents of years
ago, giving date, circumstances and de
tails with most reasonable accuracy.
There bas been no wavering in bis story.
He never misses an opportunity to as
sert and reassert his inianity and bis "in
spiration" as the motive of the deed.
There is now a Slalwnrt revel in Wash
ington. The men who lisped the praises
of Garfield when be came into powor.and
the men who spoke of bis suffering nnd
probable death with tremulous voice, are
not heard in the hotels, or the streets, or
in the departments. His sun has aet,ahd

tion twenty days hence, and it is now
probable that even Lincoln will not sur
vive the general wreck of the policy upon
which Garfield laid the foundation of his
Administration. In the selection of the
successors of the Garfield Cabinet, no
Garfield man need apply. Democrats
will be generously considered by tbo new
Administration wben necessary, but the
Girfield Republicans will ever be Strang-
rs to the favor of the Arthur reign.
A majority of the Senators and Mem
bers of Congress are already ou band.
One can almost tell tho section by the
dotbing. Those from the South come
with heavier overcoats than they are ac
customed to wear at home, and tbey feel
tbo extra weight; those from tho North
wear lighter materials than the regions of
Maine, New York and Minnesota ordi
narily require. There is a look of "work
to be done" on every face, and of bend
down to it with tremendons energy. Busi

acted, and the members new and old,
seem to feci that there should bo no delay

Wasiiixotok, Dec. 5,1831.
There is life enough about Washington
now. I he clans have been gathering
rapidly for some days aud bnzzings are
heard which indicate the renewal of hos
tilities ou Capitol Hill. The chaotio con
dition to which vacation, neglect, dust
nnd abandonment reduced even the
grandeur nnder the Capitol dome, has
suddenly disappeared and new life has
taken possession of the corridors so long
deserted save by the Inoktrs-on. During
the past week employees have been dtul-
ng and brushing, and new Congressmen
ktrolling here and there familiarizing
themselves with the various wayxaud by
ways of tbs building which' tbey expect
to make tremble with the tbundtrs of
their eloquence. The attendant retinue
of clerks and assistants are in their places
and strangers, office-seekers and loungers
are everywhere. Everything has been
put in apple-pie order. The Senate
chamber is as complete and tidy as a
lady's parlor warm, Dioe, dy, cheery,
comfortable--and the Hall nf Represen
tatives is scarcely anything behind; all
is as elegant as for a bridal party.
The renewal of activity is not confined
to the abodes of Congress. It is every
where about the city the hotels, the
boarding houses and nil places of resort.
Congress makes Washington. For sev
eral months, except at the time of Presl
dent Garfield's funeral, the hotel corri
dors have been deserted and lonely places;
now they are thronged day and night, and
one only has to visit the different bead
quarters to meet hundreds of familiar
ftces that do not belong htre, and to see
groups of office-seekers, Congressmen and
lobbyists! button-holiug each other for
dear-life. One evening while the speak
ership contest was at its zenith of uncer
tainty I saw In the lobby of a prominent
hotel at one time three candidates for
Speaker, two for Clerk of the Uouse, one
for Sergeant-at-Arms. and about twenty-
five aspirants for lesser positions. There
were also two ex-Governors and several
ex-Congressman aiding the candidates in
their attacks on tbo poor unsuspecting
members-elect, of whom a goodly num
ber were in the crowd. The Congress
man is an important personage at such a
time, and when it is all over and every
thing settled be must feel lonesome as
though he had lost his best friend.
President Arthur has at last gone into
the White Uouse to live. Everything is
as neat and bright as a new pin since the
old bouse has been fixed up. The Presi'
dent will occupy for a sleeping-chamber
a room that has rartly been used for that
purpose by his predecessors.thongh Gen
Grant occupied it for a short time. It is
very spacious, measuring about thirty by
twenty feet, and is over the private din
ing room. It is fully as large as the Red
Parlor down stairs. During Gen. Grant's
two terms this room was known as "Miss
Nellie's room," being that usually occu
pied by bis only daughter, Tho cbam
ber is on the north side of the house and
with the tmiller room adjoining occupies
the north est corner. Tbe sun never
shines on tbe large room. Tbe small one
will be, so to speak, the President's bou
doir and communicates with the larger
one by a mahogany door. Tbe question
that has lately agitated our society circle
is, "what lady will 'preside' at the Whit
House, and assist at receptions, etc?'
ut it has been settled by the President,
who lays thai' the wife of a member of
bis Cabinet whose name is not yet made
publlo will assist in dispensing tbe bos-
pitalltlea of the Executive Mansion. In
fact be expects all ladies of bis Cabinet
to come to tbe rescue in doing the hon
ors. His married sister bas cares enough
of ber own and the unmarried one is not
able to perform tbe duties. There will
be none but formal entertainments given
at the mansion this winter that is to say
dinner parties and publlo eveuing recep
tions. No sue will be there on whom
the ladle can call sociably as they have
been in the habit of doing heretofore.
