Washington Correspondence of Herald.
Tlie two cabinets assembled as usual to
day, and a busy time they bad of it.
Sir Blaine and his associates met first.
They discussed in their customary cautious
way the refusal of General Adam Badeau
te make a melancholy Dane of himself,
and expressed sui prise that he should
find it any mere difficult te perform min
isterial duties iu the Fifth Avenue hotel
in New Yerk city than te direct the pro
cedure of a consul jteneral from the s-ime
convenient aud luxurious abode. The
president looked at his chioueincter and
yawned. The postmaster general, always.
quick te take a hint, moved te adjourn,
and, as usual, without formal action the
members lese, denned their oveiceats and
baJe the president adieu. The secietaiy
of state seemed inclined te remain, and
settled his cerpulency into a large, easy
chair, his game leg resting en a steel.
The president nervously glauced at the
deer opening into the piiv.ite secretary's
apartment, and, as iflisteuing, paused cie
he bit the tip from a fieili cigar. The
secretary appealed annoyed, but ieset
tlinar himselt began, "Mr. President, I
leally think you ," but again the picsi
dent inclined his head toward the deer,
and then, as if he could wait no longer,
took out his watch and said : " I teai
we'll have te postpone fm titer discussion
this evening. I have a huge pile of letters
here, all of which I muse go through to
night, and it's after eleven new. Come iu
about neon to-inenow aud take an tjg,
will you ?"
This being equivalent te a dismissal, the
secretary sighed, rose, laboiieusly pulled
en his oveicear, and silently moved aw.iy.
During this and the pieceding hour
there was a lively group in the outer
room. A tall aud heavily beaulcd man
strode up and down, upand.dewn, puiilug
vigorously as he walked. ' Fer heaven's
sake, Swaim, hew muyh longer is this in
fernal session going te last ?" he asked, as
a short, thick-set small mustnthed man in
mufti entered. "Hanged if ' knew," re
sponded the sheit man. ''Give me a
light."
A few moments Liter the de-ir swung
open with a vim. "Conic ii b s."4-ang
out a manly voice, and at the wm d the
sturdy figure of the p:s.dent an
peaied upon the scene. Outstictched
hands struck palm te pal "i and the thive
eutci ing the larger loom nati-jeu the doei
behind them.
It was a chcei fill pictu.. thiev 1 1- iltliy,
lug framed, happy faced men, their fca
tuics illuminated by thiee tjpes of light
the flame, the gas jet and the cigar. The
keen March wiud whistled down the chim
ney and reaied about the loom. Evciy
thing w.is checiless without; evnylhing
wa- chcci lul within Fer the sp ice of live
min'itcs silence and tobacco leigned. Then
Swaim began te laugh, aud ue.uly choked
himself with smoke.
" What's the fellow laughing at :'' said
Garfield, as he slapped hie old chum en
the knee.
The jelly judge udicpate leepvcied
himself, and then, after a few wliifs, .-,uii.
"I was thinking of Adam Badutu's let
ter." "A-dam bad-caun," whispuicd the tall
man te himself.
"Yes," said Gai field, "and what a joke
it is! However, I premised te le k out
for him and I did. Net that I c ire much
for him, but well never mind. I
s-y,
oneiuen, no jeu leincmber the gi.iy
m.tie

" I should say I did ! She was a be utty.
What became of her ?"
"I sold her when I came te the Heuse.
Yeu ought te be able te pick up .some
geed horseflesh in Xcw Mexico."
" Yes, when I go."
"Catch Shelden leaving Washington
and you will catch a weasel asleep," said
Swaim, as he took another ciar.
"We'll all have te go seini'whcie if this
battle grows much wanner," suggested
Garfield, crossing his legs.
" I'm glad you concluded net te call an
extra session, in spite of the newspapers,"
said Shelden.
" Se am I," replied Gaiiicld. " De you
knew-1 never enjoyed air. thing ineiethan
a description of that battle I found iu One
of the campaign documents. That was
a pretty close call for me, boys."
" Are you confident of continuations ?"
"Oh, I ether the confiimatieus ! I've
done my pait. If the men can't work
theirs I'am net going te worry about it."
" Ne, but they'll worry you," rejoined
Shelden.
" Weil, broke iu Swaim, " when they
worry us we'll meet 'em half way. Until
they de what's the geed in growling ?"
" Geed ler you, Swaim," said the pres
ident. " What a jelly old boy you are.
The fact is, that way inside' of me, as
tlie childien.say, I don't caic whether
some of the nominations aie confirmed or
net. Mcrritt, for instance, was given te
understand that he wasn't te be touched.
Well, if his fricuds don't caic te have him
promoted it isn't my fault. The whole
batch was a feeler auyhew.'
' And a very feline lespense you are
gcttiug." said Swaim. " Yeu may cat
my head if you don't have a lively fight
en your hands, and Badcau's letter is the
first step."
"I take that for Giaut-ed," said Gar
field. "Hew about Pennsylvania?'' asked
Shelden.
"I guess Pennsylvania i a geed field te
leave alone for the present," answered
Swain.
The clock struck twelve times, the deer
opened and a tall party, pale and weary,
appeared en the threshold.
"Helle!" said the three.
"Helle!" responded the feuith, as he
slung his hat en the long table, pulled the
cigar box te the edge, helped himaclf aud
took a scat between Swaim and the presi
dent. Gai field laid his big left hand en
the newcomer's knee and said, " Well.
Reck, my boy, hew gees it ?''
" Bad," replied the last arrival, none
ether than an old chiim and intimate
named Rockwell. "Bad, and I fear it
will be worse before you ge: through. I
hear all manner of threats fiem New
Yerk, Pennsylvania aud the West."
" The West ! Great heavens ! What's
the matter.in the West ?" screamed Swaim.
"Oh, that Chicago business won't de,
you knew, and Nichel is hat d te swallow
but, hang it all, t don't want te talk
abent.it. I'mplayedeut. General, I saw
just the horse you want te-day. He's a
beauty."
" Wait a while, Reck,
must rule a while yet
Shelden gees te New
Sweet simplicity
We'U wait till
Mexico for our
horseflesh," replied Gai field ; "but what
de they ' say about Roliertsen new ?"
"They say it's Blaine." v
"De they, new?" growled Swaim.
"And what of Badeaa's strike?"' con
tinued Garfield.
" They say it's Grant"
" Well, where de they think I come in ?' '
said the piesidcut, with a smile.
"That's what pezzies 'em," responded
Reck, at which they all laughed.
"I have a vague impression that the
man who laughs last has tbe best of the
game," soliloquized the president.
"Certainly," broke in Swaim, as he
put his short little feet en Garfield's arm
chair ; ' but I see by all the papers that
everything is lovely ; tliat you and all
hands are en rapport, and that there really
isn't any trouble at all. If this is se you'll
doubtless hear of it before long, won't
you ?"
The deer opened and Mr. Brown, rub
bing his eyes, came softly in. "Mrs.
Garfield says it is getting late, general."
"Tell her we are very busy," whispered
Garfield.
' What's up?" asked Shelden.
" The women folk think its rather late,"
replied the president.
"0!" rejoined Sheldeu, as he settled
himself again and took a third cigar. "Its
queer, isn't it," continued Be, ' that the
ladies, Ged bless 'era, never can under
stand business. By the way, I hear that
Tem James is en his car."
"That must be uncomfortable," said
Rockwell.
What's the matter of him ?" blnrtcd
out Swaim.
"Well, as I understand it," explained
Shelden, "he has an idea that he is af
fronted I y the undiscussed New Yerk ap
pointments." " His own included?" queried the presi
dent. " Well, perhaps se," answered Shelden.
"James is a veiy peculiar man, you knew.
audit Conkling thinks he would de well
te go back te New Yerk, back he gees."
"As what?" asked Swaim.
."As assistant postmaster, if nothing
else," leplied Shelden. " Why, de you
knew, Pearson isn't postmaster yet? " He
acts as acting postmaster te this day. He
hasn't appointed flteight Lawrence as
sistant, either. New boys, you may as
well make up your minds for alight.'
Chandler antagonizes MacVeagh and Rob Rob
ot tseu Conkling. What are we going te
de about it ?"
"Well for one," said said Gai field, as
he blew two immense rings of smoke
tewaul the fiesce, "I am for sticking just
wheie we arc."
"In the mud ?' asked Rockwell,
"Ne ; in the present. The future will
take care of itself, or rather Blaine will
take cate of it, and that's quite as well."
"Se it is for Blaine." growled Swaim.
"Come new, boys, we've been chums
together for years. Chiekamauga knows
us all and we knew each ether. Yen
understand hew much I have te de for
policy and equally well hew much mere I
icly en my chums than en my regular
advisers. New, what would you de il
you were in my place? " asked the presi
dent, and as he did se tears welled iu his
eyes aiM his gicat hands shook with eme
tien.
The chums were sobered instantly.
They felt the supremacy of the moment.
Swaim is the blufiest of them all. He
pulled vigoieusly for a moment and then,
slapping his chief en the back, he said m
a voice bedewed with tears : " Yeu knew,
old fellow, hew loyal we are te you ; but
the deuce of it is you go back en yourself.
Yeu meant te have Fester, and didn't.
Yeu inclined toward Sherman, and went
back. Yeu premised Morten, and were
fought out of it. " Yeu didn't want James,
but here he is. Yeu liked Bliss, but
Woedfoid has the place. Yeu gave Mer
ritt and all the New Yerk gang assur
ances that Merritt should work out his
commission, and then sent in Kobertsen
We stand by you, but you slip away as
seen as we take a rest. Ne man in the
world has legs long enough te straddle
Blaine and Ci inkling, and there is no use
in trying. Yeu're sure te lean heavier en
one than the ether or split yeusclf.
See?"
The secretary, Brown, was heard te
yawn distinctly iu the adjeiniug apart
ment. Fer a moment the chums paused,
then lcadjusting their seats the session
continued.
" Yeu'ie a daisy, Swaim," said Garfield,
.is he w.uinly shook his square-rigged
friend by the hand. " And you Reck ;
hew de yen feel ?"
Rockwell drew liimsslf up in a bunch en
the lounge, and, having blown the smoke
fiem his threat, said: "I say let the
whole thing have a rest. Stick te what
you've done. If James gees, se much the
worse for James. Fester is wild te come
in and Fester is one of us. If MacVeagh
gees Cameren may come te the front after
all, and se long as you don't make a mess
by giving the place te Wharten Barker'
you'll be the gainer. Let these fellows de
their own fighting."
" But Blaine !" protested the presi
dent. " Oh, Blaine be hanged. Let him fight
tee. Surely, we don't want te lese sleep
en account of Blaine, de we ?"
" As for me, " said Shelden, " I want it
distinctly understood that I'm for
Garfield and the chums first, last aud all
the time. We've get the cards. Why
net make tbe game ? All you want is a
little mere backbone, mere exercise and
less cabiuet. Be your own boss Let
these unsucccssfal fellows de the walking.
Wc want te ride."
As the clock indicated a quarter past
twelve, Mr. Brown, the private secretary,
entered and handed the president an en
velope marked " Important. Blaine."
" All right," said Garfield.
" Will you read the note ?' asked
Brown.
" By and by," replied the president
" The messenger says it is urgent," eon
tinued Brown.
" Well, leek at it Brown ; but don't
bother me new. Yeu see I'm engaged. ,
The idea !" rejoined Garfield.
Mr. Brown opened and read the note,
and then, in a whisper, said, " Mr. Blaine
thinks you have smoked enough te-night
and wishes you te go te bed."
"Why, It's only a little after twelve.
I'm net sleepy," protested the presi
dent. " He appears te mean it," urged the
secretary.
"What is it?" asked Swaim and Shel Shel
eon together.
" Ob, nethinjn" answered the presi
dent ; " only he thinks I'd better go te
bed."
"What! Conkling?"
" Ob, no. He wouldn't even ask such
a thing."
" Surely net Grant ?"
"Dear me, no ; net at all."
"Who then, for Heaven's sake?"
"Blaine I"
"Goodness gracious, you don't say se.
Heie Brown, send for ray carriage. Of
course you must go te bed. Geed night,"
and off rushed Swain.
"Blaine ! Well, I should say se. Yeu
just tumble in as seen as you can. Geed
night4" and away went "Reck."
"And yen, Shelden! What de you say,
my dear old boy?" begged the president.
"What de I say ? I say it's an infernal
outrage," replied the burly general, "but
you've yourself te thank for it. Ybunrade
i.;,.. rnur master, and that ends it. Ge te
i,,i i;ira a nMMufant- Geed niizht," and
out of tie room strode he.

A curious question of law has at iscn in
the case of James Walsh, convicted in
Brooklyn of murder in tbe first degree fee
the killing of Barbara Greenenthal.
Miss Greenenthal was a beautiful girl
of seventeen. The district attorney, in
opening a vehement argument te the
jurors, suddenly thrust befere them a
photograph of the murdered girl. This
likeness had net been introduced in evi
dence, and the court promptly ordered it
te be withdrawn from the view of the
jury. But the mischief, if any, bad
already been done.
Considering the powerful influence of
beauty upon the heart of man, it is impos
sible te say that this irregular introduction
of a photograph which displayed the lov lev
liness et the fair victim may iiet have in
fluenced the veidict, and caused the jury
te bricg in a verdict of murder in tbe
first degree instead of murder iu the sec
ond degree.
