PRESIDENT'S MANNER OF
DRIVING OUT
An Exhibition That Will Astonish the Natives of
the Federal Stamping Ground*???The Compo
sition of the Houae Committees???
The Adjournment of Congress.
Washington. December21.???Eversince tiie ilavs of
???the father of hi* country" people, particularly the
residents of the capital, have taken a lively inter
est in the style of equipage In which the various
presidents of the United States were accustomed to
appearin public. President Arthur has not been
without a due share of interest of this kind. In
deed, for various reasons, there has been more
than the usual curiosity to know whether his
turnout??? would be shabby or ???loud.??? This
curiosity may now be put at rest. Presi
dent Arthur???s carriage and horses arc in Wash
ington. The establishment is in every way a
rich and handsome one; indeed, it is no exaggera
tion to say that it is the finest which has ever ap
peared in the streets of the capital. At the same
time, however, all its appointments are subdued,
modest, and in the best of taste. The carriage,
from the New York Uroome street Brewsters, is a
landau of novel design, painted a dark, mellow
green, relieved with enough picking out in red to
show the outline without being conspicuous. The
trimmings are of morocco and cloth, the cushions
and doors being faced with heavy lace. The har
ness hits been made in keeping with the carriage
and is heavily mounted with plain silver. The
dress blankets are of a heavy dark-green kersey,
and the coachman???s lap-robe of green English box-
cloth. These, arc all ornamented with the
president???s monogram. The lap-robe for
the inside of the carriage is Labra
dor otter, beautifully lined with dark green, and
having the monogram ???C. A. A." worked in silk.
The horses, two in number, are magnificent uni
mills???mahogany bays with black points and with
out a white sjKit anywhere. They are 5 years old,
Hi hands high, have line flowing manes and tails
and are half brothers. They are matched almost to
a hair, were raised by the same man, and have
always been driven together. Their heads and
necks arc very fine, and though very stylish and
showy, they are prompt, firm anil resolute, yet kind
ana gentle. They can be driven on an easy rein,
without check or iniirtingal. Thfiy are the presi
dent???s personal selection, as was also the carriage,
anil reflect no little credit ujKin his judgment as a
horseman. The entire??????turn nut??? is a model of
quiet magnificence and good taste.

The republican senators held a short caucus this
afternoon in regard to the proposition made by a
number of democratic senators that Neill Brown,
of Tennessee, ate reading clerk of the house of rep
resentatives, be appointed to fill a similar position

the assignment of Chief Clerk Shober to the dmv of

the caucus adjourned without reaching a decision.

A Washington Romance.
Washington Correspondence Courier-Journal.
Should Mr. Brewster be appointed attorney-gen
eral, his wife, after many strange vicissitudes, will
again become a member of a cabinet household.
She is the daughter of the late Robert J. Walker,
who, during her childhood, was secretary of the
treasury. I knew Mary Walker as the gayest girl
in Washington when Buchanan was president.
She used to ride on horseback, with a young
man from New Orleanss named DeLeon,
ne was a brother of Mrs. Slidell, whose
husband was at that time a senator from Louisiana.
She married Mr. De Leon and went with the Sli-
dells to France, when the senator was appointed
minister by the Southern Confederacy. The mar
riage was unhappy, and a lew years after the war
was over Mrs. De Leon returned to this city and
lived with her widowed mother. The family had
lost fortune and position: the still youthful and
handsome Mrs. De Leon, through the infln
ence of ft old friends, obtained
Clerkship in the internal revenue United States
treasury department. While there Mr. Brewster???s
law business brought him to the treasury, and he
saw Mrs. De Leon. Not long afterwards there was
a change of administration: Grant came in and
Boutwell became secretary of the treasury.
A daughter of Chief Justice Taney nnd tiie
daughter of Robert J. Walker were dismissed
because the new secretary did not like the
polities of their dead fathers; there
fore these excellent ladies were made to suffer. A
few months afterwards I was at the West End hotel.
Long Branch, and was shown a suite of elegantly
fitted up rooms. These apartments were for a
bridal couple, nnd the gallant groom bad sent a
piano and tieh furniture from Philadelphia. The
bride nnd groom were Mr. and Mrs. Brewster,
Mary Walker again enjoying affluence.
DAVIS AND JOHNSTON.
A BRIEF SUMMARY OF OPINION
ON THE INTERVIEW.
Wbat Became of the Gold???The Wagons Assaulted
by Troops and Citizens and the Gold Scat
tered???An Interesting Experience in War
Times???Some Spiey Interviews.
Few publications of late date have provoked a
warmer or more general discussion than the publi-
catioirof the interview with General Johnston, in
which he indirectly charges that Mr. Davis in some
way or another misapplied two million and a half
dollars of the funds of the confederate govertynent.
The strong tendency of the discussion was in favor
of Mr. Davis, and deprecating the fact that General
Johnston had seen fit to make so serious a ehiuge
even indirectly. We met no one who had any idea
that Mr. Davis was responsible for these funds.
In fact, the whole matter seems to be so easy of
access and so plain that it is a wonder that General
Johnston ever alluded to it. It Is a fact generally
believed, if not of actual proof, that ail the wagon
train containing this treasure was robbed near
Washington, in Wilkes county, Georgia, and the
gold scattered among the soldiers and citizens.
Mr. Hemphill, business manager of The Consti
tution, says:
???I was at Washington about a month after this
wagon train passed through there. It was well
understood that the wagon train had been
robbed by bribing or killing the guards or
getting them drutik. * I do not re
member the details, but there is no doubt that the
treasure train of the confederate government was
robbed in that neighborhood. Even when I was
there, there were negroes throughout the
neighborhood that had large amounts of
gold that came to them when the
gold was scattered from the wagon train.???
Mr. J. M. Maxwell, who formerly lived in Wash
ington, says: ???I knotv that this train was robbed,
and that money belonging to the treasury of the
confederate government was taken by soldiers and
citizens. There-were about sixteen wagons of the
bullion, containing a very large amount. They
were encountered about one mile and a half from
the town of Washington, and in some way or other
the crowd got into the wagons, and it was a fight
and scramble for the gold.???
??????You are certain of these facts?
???I am certain, because I weut into one of the
wagons and got some of the bullion myself,
tilled two large bags full of solid gold bare, but it
was taken away from me before 1 could get away
with it to a place of safety. There are hundreds of
men who escaped with these bare, and it formed the
basis of many a fortune iu Georgia. These facts
von can get from any citizen of Washington who
was there at the lime. My testimony is not second
hand, for as I told you, I was then a boy, and went
with a crowd that went into the wagons and took
out the specie.???
There Is other testimony corroborative of this,
nnd we have no doubt that this is the explanation
of the matter. The idea that Mr. Davis in some
way or other secreted any large amount of gold i;
simply absurd. He was taken to prison from
Washington, and since the war he has been living
in poverty.
It is believed by many about Washington thui
there is much gold buried about in that neighbor
hood by some parties who had charge of the con
federate treasury, and a short time ago a negro
barber of that village who stated that he knew
where the gold was ouried, was taken out and
whipped nearly to death by men who insisted on
his telling them where it was.
It cannot be said that these wagons were loaded
with the {120,000 of gold bullion that belonged to the
Richmond bankers and was started back to that
city. That money was taken by a party of Federal
soldiers who carried it into the United States
treasury, where it now is. The money taken by
the crowd near Wasliingto must have been part
of the bullion belonging to the confederate treas
UI ?V???ashi.vgton, December 20.???[Special.]???In an in
terview with General Joseph E. Johnston to-day,
without entering into ^specified statements, he
substantiaally reiterated his charge against ex
President Davis of having gotten away with a
large amount of specie, diamonds, plate, jewelry
etc., belonging to the confederate government and
donated by citizeus in and about Richmond.

It is reported in Washington that Mrs.
Garfield lias frequently spoken of one feature above
all others in the president's treatment that she re
gretted most. That was the fact that the president
was never allowed to talk about the danger of
death, or to speak as he would have done had he
been allowed to think that he was going to die.
Whenever he broached this subject he was stopped
In his talking aud diverted from it by admonitions
???not to lose courage.??? Mrs. Garfield says that
often she wanted to talk to the president upon
matters about which it was almost imperative that
there should be conversation before he died, but
she restrained herself, and the president passed
away without her having that opportunity.
Two ladies newly brought conspicuously
into Washington society, are the wives of Secretary
Freiinghuysen and Speaker Keifer. The former is
thus described bv the Philadelphia Press; ??? She is
stately, rather reticent than communicative, but a
graceful converser, and as well calculated to adorn
the social side of the state department as any one
who has filled that aiduous post of honor since her
intimate personal friend, Mrs. Hamilton. Kish, and
probably not inferior to the latter, which is high
praise.??? Of Mrs. Keifer. the Cincinnati Gazette
says: ???She is a tall, well-proportioned lady, grace
ful and sensible rather than handsome. She was
Miss Eliza S. Stout, of Springfield, Ohio, and was
brought up almost sid - by side with her husband.
She has not, however, been much iu Washington
during her husband???s four yea^liere.???
Secretary of State Fuelingiiuysen is a
narrative of his campaigns, and that Mr. Davis
made a lame attempt at denial in his ??? Rise and Fait
qf the Confederacy.??? -General Johnston.evidently
desires the ex-president to go into full
details. The matter excites great interest, and the
republican comments are strong anil denunciaton -
of Davis as not only a traitor, but a revealed thief.
Our senators and representatives are quiet, but
absolute in their disbelief of the entire statement
as to Davis and the funds. .. , ^
Cincinnati, December 20.???[Sepciall???In the En
quirer of to-day Jefferson Davis states
that he refuses " to believe that General
Johnston has been correctly reported
He is so absolutely amazed at such a charge
that he can onlv attribute it to the figments of a
correspondent???s' brain, growing out of matters
already explained in his book, and not worthy of
further notice-until he hears further from General
Johnston.

Philadelphia Press.
It is ascertained from .reliable sources that the
late William Weld, formerly of Boston, who died
in this city some days ago, left an estate valued at
something near the enormous sum of S21,(8.0,000.
By his will, which has been probated in Boston, his
four grandchildren each fall heir to $3,000,000. To
his wife he bequeaths $20,000 a year income and the
sum of 8100,000. To his nieces and nephews, twelve
in number, he leaves S1.000 each. For charitable
puriioses he gives $??? .000 $3,000 of which is to he de
voted to the interests of the Woman???s hospital, of
Boston. His two sons, George W. and William G.
Weld, each get $500,000. And, finally. 83,000,000 is
to be paid, according to the will, to the residuary
legatees. At the time Mr. Weld came from Boston
twthis city, where he intended to reside until after
May 1,1882, he brought with him all his personal
property, bonds, etc. It is claimed that an attach
ment has been placed upon the securities by the
city to recover a successive tax of 8800,000.

The change In the character and customs of the
audiences which sustain by their patronage theaters
of this city is as strikifguH that in the performances
themselves. With the improvements adopted on
the stage and in .he auditorium has come into ex
istence a different class of patrons. The gallerv
??????gods" who were formerly such a'njmportant factor
in the audience, and who. indeed, not seldom made
or killed a play or an actor, have virtually disap
peared in all the first class and even the second
class theaters of to-day. Their last stronghold was
the old Bowery, and when that was converted into
a German theater the last of the gods folded his

Wyatt Mitchell, one orlfalman???s Flow Factory Hand*,
Killed by a Breaking Stone.
About three o???clock yesterday evening a rumor of
the kilting of a white man at Haimen???s plow fac
tory on Marietta street, floated down town, and
soon lodged inseli in front of Thf. Constitution
office, where it was picked up by one of its reporto-
riul force, who instantly hied himself away to in
vestigate the same.
Arriving at Haiman???s building.which is gradually
extending itself over that end of town, the reporter
entered and found that the rumor was correct and
that Wyatt Mitchell, an hoite t, industrious and
hard-working white man, had been killed by the
breaking of an emory stone, upon which he had
been working.
In a large room in the western wing of the build
ing, there are several mandrels upon
which are emory stones used for pol
ishing plowshares, bolts, etc. At one of these
Mitchell was engaged grinding down the heads of
bolts in plowshares. About 3 o???clock the stone he
had been using gave out and a new one was put
upon the mandrel and the belt which gave it it
revolutionary power thrown on. As soon as it
began to revolve Mitchell grabbed a plowshare
from the pile beside him and laid it upon the stone,
but hardly had he gotten down to
work when it flew into fragments
scattering itself over the room. One piece about
the sizeof a large turninstmek him in the forehead
just over the left eye, vvtiiie another struck him in
the stomach and knockeif Mm several feet away.
The breaking of the stone made quite a report, at
tracting the attention of Giose who were work
ing near Mitchell, and who ran
his side, but on???/ to find that
liewasdead. The stone that struck him over the
eye cut a hole clean through the skull, and was
enough to have produced denln. The other one,
however, made a worse and uu uglier wound. It
struck him near the left side, and, passing entirely
across his stomach, cut it open, allowing his bowel???s
to protrude.
At the time the stone broke it was making about
twelve hundred revolutions per minute
which is much less than the
speed usually used, and its breaking is accounted
for only upon the ground that it was a defective
one. However, its speed was enough to give great
forte to the fragments, one of which struck the
brick wall, making a hole almost as bigas a man???s
head. Another piece struck the window sash, cur
rying three large glass with it.
".Soon after the accident MitcheT was removed to
his home near the rolling mill, where his body
was prepared for burial. He was about fifty years
of age, and was a sober, industrious, hard-working
roan. He leaves a wife and one child, who were
entirely dependent upon him for support.
