Sr.s..nLEY BRows..private secre tary of the la e President GARFIELD, and who has been acting in a similar capacity for Presidio: ARTHUR, has tendered his resignation, to take effect on the first of next mooth. It was the wish of President `ARTHUR that be should remain doribg the - present administration, but.'it the request of 'Mrs. GARFIELD he has under taken to - prepare for the biographer the letters, papers and literary remains of tbe late President. He has also formed a partnership with the firm of BATEILAN & CO., bankers and brokers of Wasbingtn. In accepting his resignation President ARTHUR expresses sincere regret and cor dial syni - p - albriu his future welfare. • NEAnt.x twenty • years ago the firm which has since then developed into the great and , well-known house of /loon, B.J:viattuirr & Co., of Philadelphia, sus tained, through no fault- of its own, re verses SO disastrous as to compel its sus pension. It made an honorable compro itscreditors and continued basi- n ss: Ids members then and there deter nrit&l that the obligations which had been remitted should be paid to the last dollar; and from that time until now they have been engaged in accumulating a fund. with that design. The fund has just reached the reqUired.amonnt,. and distri:. 17 . iutiou has accordingly been made to the amount of over 4160,000. The creditors who in PAll gave an insolvent firm an op., port unity to retrieve its fortunes have lost nothing by'their magnanimity, for they have now been paid principal and interest in full. It may be said by the captious, says the North Araer;viii of that city, that in doing this Messrs.. IlosD, BON- I:1;1(41T & Co: are doing' more,. than, their (itity, and this is a proposition which the tucrchers of that firm would, we may be sine, have no inclination to dispute, but none. the less the course they have taken otitrhiclr will shed a lustre upcn the c:.mmercial annals of Philadelphia. CONGREMPI. One week from Monday next the regular sestsion of Congress will be- Many considerations combine to.renfl(fr it one of unusual 'interest. The almost equal division of parties 1 )otli in the . Ifouse and Senate, the Presence of new and potent political forces. a hose tendencies are not yet fully developed, the decline of old MEI issues .and the entrance into power anew administration, all combine to render the political situation peen.. liarly interesting, and the -political discussions that. must ensue spicy and ,pertaining. Then, too, there are imiortant public matters that. press forward for considerati9n and must receive the earnest attention o ris 2ongress. Foremost among these we may mention a revision of some of the _postal laws, the necessity for which is pointed out by'the Star Route fnauds. The question of re ducing internal revenue tuxes, shown by the rapid increase Of revenue and des:rease of the National . (lik . t, will claim a large share of attj•ntion. This is bound to bp ',:ne fsf the live questions of the and ito the friends of a tariff and our pre , ent banking system, it is vital. A com plete revision of the laws for count ing the electoral vote fel President and Vice-President is alsii to order, and these, with revisionof the tariff and some "civil service refo:ni, will give Congress plenty ofwork i to keeP its members busy through the winter and tar into the heated term. THE INDEPENDENT pßoun,tm Under the above head the Phila delphia Daily Neic/of a re cent date: has the followingt to say with refer once to the meeting hill at the Con : - tinental Botel, in that city. on Wed ne...lay of last Week. We. do riot enflprse all that the article says, but. we are free to admit that it contains many truths 'and suggestions that every Republican, be he Stalwart, Bolter or Independent, will do well to carefully consider and weigh. The New.. flays : The plans and , purposes so freely announced bythirty Independent Re publieans are flint?. amusing. They wish it, understoOd that they are the simon-pure, original Republicans, who believe in ,party organization, muhinery, conventions and the con trol of the minority by the majority. But there .is need of a ichange of leaders. All they aim at, therefore, is to substitute certain - outs for ins. This done and all will be right. The same methods, 'Machinery and alle -tiaace, only the tables are to be turn- The funninesi of all this lies in She faCt that it is not a matter of methods, but of men. All the ma chinery of a party may be brought and laid at the feet:of men incapable of wisely using it and they will fail. Proininence and leadershifi in parties and nations is.not a matter of. ma- ehinery, but of personal abiliky. It is the same law that appeals to,wealth getting.:. A thousand men may be ulna loose, and 4 dozen, perhapi, will gain wealth, *bile the others remain more or lesi poor. 'Natural aptitude changes conditions. So in no'litics. No man attains leadership I -by common consent. He must prove that he - possesses the qualities of a leader, and perhaps many a hard bat tle may be necessary. It will siso happen that rebellions against lead ership wilLoccur. .But all these, un less-they rest, on some great principle, will fall, unless a person of superior force of character direct. And this means that a new leadei has . arisen. DO these conditions enter into -the new: ittdepfttldellt movement? • . rip rtnPlii4 4 1 mie tel?" el is that of the right of the people to an untrammeled choice of candi dates. Thii they can now have, if they will avail themselves of the op.] portunity. If the voters would large ly attend the primaries, the delegates to conventions would represent the av erage choice ofthe pepple. Buttheydo not do this and probably will not as a rule. The result is that those who do attend control conventions. And if this shall occur under a changed condition of. affairs, will it be any I better? . --If the gentlemen irho pro. pose to reform the party will devise methods by which the will of the ma jority can •be made evident in- the incipiency of party movements, they will succeed. But we do not nnder stand that they seek this. The real purpose, therefore, is to change the directing heads of the party. What is there in this? Simply that a few amiable gentlemen think they shotild supplant others in leadership: - : Their *right thus to think we -do not chal lenge. But we submit that when all this comes to the test of popular ac ceptance it is essential that they should prove their right to leadership. The party follows real leaders. It does not require that a bevy of gen tlemen should gather together and resolve that a change must happen. if a leader arises strong enough to take power from the hands of those who wield it, he will not truthpet his plans abroad, but quietly do his work. But the real point of interest with ihe_people.is not who does or -who does not lead, but the candidates for office. The grade of men presented for their suffrages is the real point. If the old leaders - present the best names, and 'the aspirants for the hdn ors of leadership offer weak names, the people will sustain the present leaders. And it is at this point the new movement is essentially weak. It has already proven that its aim is not so much` to give good candidates as to antagonize existing leaderg' Last winter Mr. GROW was their Can didate for_ 'United States' Senator' They stood by him to the bitter end. Now, because he wa ,, jocularly named as a candinate for Governor by Mr: QUAY, be is beslathered with'abuse, and rejected. He is the same man he was six months ago.' If he was good then, why not now ? = Simply because'. - NEXT year there will be elected in this :certain men are susrcted of favoring State a Goveruor, Lieutenant-Gvernor, a Internal Affairs, Members of hint. And thi3 i 3 the key to the en-4` " tire struggle. No matter' whether Congress and a-Legislature. • candidates are good or bad, if certain parties , favor a man,.certain others oppose. And this is called indepen dence. It is a sham. And it tends to A square fight against par ty leaders when they are wrong, the beading off bad candidates or the presentation and urgency of conspic uously sgood •catulidatCs does tend to-elevate the patty • and to compel pure methods and right candidates.. But an embittered -fight against the' party leaders, even when they are right, tends . to harm, and not merely endangers party unity, but lowersl the grade of candidates. Now t that l passion has subsided, at is seen that OLIVER would have made a most • ex cellent UnitedState3 - Senator. And if thepresent war is - kept np it may prcvept,the selection of a gold name for" Gtivernor. Political 'complications are apt to favor. medioerity. This is the danger- of the new movement. It may result, in something or nothing. If in anything, it will simply bela collision which will tend to encourage another Wolfe movement. Such things slowly Fritter away the strength of a party. In - New York it lost ns the Legislature. In this State it may endanger an imports bt election; It will do this or be a mere fiasco—a aughing stock for all who appreciate ts weakness• THE Bourbon defeat in Virginia is al ready ...being followed by evidences of Democratic dissolution under the Bour bon 'plari elsewhere in the south: In South Carolina a large, number of Demo crats have expressed their satisfaction over MARONE's victory and there can be little doubt that at the next state election there will b.l considerable defection from the, ultra Bourbons in the pioneer secession commonwealth.

The low; lists of arrivals at the various hotels is also another reminder that the- summer is ended, and that in the fashion able world we. are 'about to begin another season of folly, excitement and extrava gance, all of which is gladly welcorried by all the various brunches of trade, and , especially by the hotel -keeper isho in his gilded saloon, surrounded by his army of servants, will doubtless cause :any of his . guests to remember the Arabian story of Ala Baba and his cave of , forty thieves. At the White House the preparations for its occupancy by President Arthur are about completed. ,For some time past there have beeta about the premises signs of unusual activity iu the way of 'repair- ng, refurnishing and refitting for the change olocf.k.upants. There is a tradition extant that the wife of one of the• early Presidents, who was of a domestic turn of mind, would, during, a • spell- of rainy weather, utilize the spaeinturproportions of the East tolim to dry the family wash ing in. Iflit were possible for her to op:in her eyes ; upon — the same room when the improvements now going op are complet- ed, she would hardly have the courage to stretch a clothes-line across it ; and the contrast of moist pillow-eases, limp tow- &v., svith heavy hanFings of old Fold, satin velvet carpets. Flittering chandeliers and polished mirrors would doubtless be offensive in her housewifely eyes. '; But the simplicity of the early days has ceased: The White House will look better and brighter than it has ever done.. It is the prevailing impression that the receptions, dinners and parties at the Executive Man sion will not only be more frequent than they were under the past administration, but that under the new regithe there Swill be imparted a new and more brilljant life. From' the splendid attainments of the President and his' well-known ability to entertain, there can be little else expected. The better tb r e President becomes known and underfitood, the more he ap pears to increase in the, good will and estimation of the people. From feelings at first of mistrust • and doubt, thete is evidently in the public mind a greater confidence—growing out of the fact, doubtless, that so far there has been' de veloped,no policy which might be regard-, ed as feforable to parties who happen to be inflicted with the Presidential itch. It may be safely put dOwn that. Mr. Ar thur will be President in fact, and nut a mere figure-head in the hands-of design ing politicians. While the interests of the Government and the public *ill be 'carefully protected, the indications ale that the fuel which has heretofore fed the fire_of party dissension will be no longer forthcoming. - .4The violence of feeling against the President, which is showing itself in Democratic quarters, is also grat ifying. it is proof that' he is not to be degraded in public estimation by the- over tures of • that sort of Democrats who can respect no deponent who is not 'secretly false titi his-own party friends. That the President will receive generous treatment and proper support from all fair-minded opponents As as sure as that a manly and upright course alciays commands respect. - Under the new Secretary, Judge Folger, it is expected that there will be a new deal at the Treasury. The ring of certain bigllittle men, which has long held sway in this Department, it is confidently ex pected will be broken, all of which is an exceedingly gratifying prospect to the outs, but mot so pleasing a subject of con templation to the ring. For along time it has been reported thatcertain parties in 'the management of the details of the Department have bad inatters altogether' too much in their oivnway for the good of the public. 'Favoritism, extravagance and petty peculations are laid at the doors of several of the minor officiate, but how truthfully will:only' e determined by that Democrat i panacea—investigation. There isione fact, however, which has become patent : Under the past manage ment a flexible sort of civil service system has been inaugurated which can be appli ed to the patient in such manner as to kill or cure, as it may be deemed desira ble. The • victims who by„,their force have been made to stand out in the cold, - whale their friends of Democratic tendencies are quietly warming theinserVes at the Re publican fire, will doubtlefs' have no re grets, if 'there .should be a little shaking up in tha(quarter. The Republican par ty, for its general good health, has had rather E4,a overdose of that kind of proven.' der. Itr has allowd the DemPeracy and the so-called civil ' genie.° .reformers to put upon its plate quite *a sufficiency of that kind of diet. The desire of Mr. MacVeagh to retire at once from - the Cabinet does not seem to - be gratified by the President., and con -sequently Mr. MacVeagh finds himself just now in a particularly disagreeable situation in"struggling to reach diy land. President Arthur, with great, good sense or political shrewdness, as the case may be, steadily refuses to accept his resigna tion. It is proper, he says, that, as Mac- Veagh is identified, with a presecution so 'ini,xirtant to the,wkolecountrY,the should remain at his postjat least until the mat ter is settled. • Whatever may be the result, it does not appear that the. course, puiskied byl-MaiaVeagh will add many laurels to - hifecrown of fame. Ex actly what he does mean perhap's b t does not know, but he insists to the public that his hands are so tied- that he can no_ long ereonduct the star route cases with any prospect of success. The factis that those associated with the cases under Mac- Veagh have had innumerable difficulties; because of his uncertainty of purpose and general bad management._ ; The trial ofi Guiteau, the assassin, he_ now well under way. - How. long it may continue is a matter beyond conjecture, as strenuous efforts will be made by his counsel to establish insanity.' If the pub lic feeling hereabout were consulted the trial - would be short, sharp and decisive, although much of the bitterness of feeling which has prevailed is apparently toned dawn. immete e crowds of people are constantly in attendance, who fill "the court rooms as soon as the deorsare open ed aud;!steadily remain thtoughout the entire day. Not one-tenth part of the people who gather at the place of trial are able to obtain admission. Many Congressmen ftavo arrived during the past few days and are busily engaged in hunting quarters for the coming ses sion.

The case of the Government against the 'assassin, Guiteau was formally presented to tlicr jury , Thursday by District-Attorney Corkhill, who spoke in a directand forcible way,and made little or no attempt, at oratorical ef fect. Be attributed theassassination of President Garfield' to Goitean's feeling of resentment at not receivizg office, and to his offended self-import. ance•at being treated without 'speciat consideration. Giiiteau's declarations that he removed the President to save the Republican partyand the Repnb lic were pronounced the result of a deliberately, planned scheme of de; fence, which seized upon,Republican dissensions as a pretext.
