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.

There was considerable differ ence of opinion ns to the advisability of consenting to the election of any new democratic officers, and the caucus adjourned without reaching a decision.

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.

I.aboui here's pretty wife and the cele brated Mrs. Langtry appeared together in the Twickenham theatricals. In writing of the per formance the editor of Truth says: ???Mrs. Langtry ???ame forward arrayed in an unpretending pink dress, and, with her arms full of tlowers, she sat down at a table and then proceeded to act as though, instead of this being the first time she had ever essayed her skill on the stage, she had been playing lively young widows and suqii other parts to critical audiences from her earliest childhood.???

Seeing the Liale face, large cavernous eyes and high ehcek jones, tiie dying woman was seized with terror, and exclaimed: ???Ah, I know you: you are the angel of death: you eamc the other day to take one of my neighbors; begone, terrible specter!??? Then she died, and Sarah fainted away at tiie foot of the bed. This story is going the rounds of the news papers, and serves to confirm the report that -Sarah intends to make another theatrical tour through this country. 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 ???

The matter excites great interest, and the republican comments are strong anil denunciaton - of Davis as not only a traitor, but a revealed thief.

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 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 tent aud silently stole away. ??crlml !*torlc??

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. 3Ir. Hill'* Civil Service Speech.
