AT THE CAPITAL.
GARLAND AND THE ATTORNEY
GENERALSHIP.

Cttucidccr???Mr. BasdslPa 8oaibera i'flp-
Kr. Tlldsn Intend* to bo Pr??*??nta:
* the Zoaasuration of Clevclaad.
Wx8hingt6N, December 23.???[Special.]???Mr.
Garland???s visit to Albany confirms the cabinet
makers in their belief that he is to be Cieve-
land???s attorney-general. His return into the
senate this morning was the occasion of a rush
of gossips to him, similar to that which Bay
ard endured a few days ago, when he returned
from bis pilgrimage to the Moccaot tho hope
ful statesmen. Mr. Garland is reserved in his
expression,* and says nothing to indicate the
result of his visit, but there is no longer any
considerable doubt that he has been tendered
and has accepted the attorney-generalship. It
Is also quietly whispered that this arrange*
ment is not pleasing to Bayard. He and Gar
land have seldom agreed ou lines of party-
policy, and probably no two democratic sena
tors sustain less cordial relations to each other.
Both, however, are big men who rank in the
fore-front of national leaders. There will be no
disagreeable conllist between them in the cabi
net.
MB. BATABD???S CHOICE.
It is now an open secret that Mr. Bayard
was requested to como to Alba
ny by Governor Cleveland, and that
the president-elect requested him to head his
cabinet. The office of secretary of state is con
sidered of tho first dignity, and it was Clove-
land???s intention, doubtless, to put Mr. Bayard
there. But it is now about conceded that Mr.
Bayard is to bo secretary of the treasury under
. the new adminiitration. This was his chftice.
Xhe reasons that influenced him to make it are
apparent to his friends. Tho secretary of state
Is one of tho second social dignitaries in Wash
ington. He is thrown constantly with
the representatives of foreign pow
ers, most of whom receive
princely salaries besides tho large privato
incomes they usually possess. They entertain
superbly and tho secretary of stato is obliged
to cultivate the most cordial social relations
with them. In turn ho must entertain as not
even the president is expected to do. To moot
all the requirements of this office takes, it is
said, from $20,000 to $30,000 a year. His sal
ary is $8,000. Mr. Bayard is a poor man.
That is to say he is worth probably $76,000.
He would not accept any offico,
tho requirement of which he could not
fill in every particular. And then
the secretary of the treasury has decidedly
the moro important trust. Ho holds great
power over the financial policy of the govern
ment.- Mr. Bayard has been fighting for hon
est currency and against all wild experimen
tal tendencies ever smeo he set out on his
career as a public man. In this connec
tion it may bo said that Washington gossip
has agreed upon two men for the cabinet???
Mr. Bayard to be secretary of the treasury,
and Mr. Garland, of Arkanas, to be attorney
general. Beyond this there is a Babel confus
ion oi rumors.
XVARTS???S CANDIDACY.
Evarta???s open declaration of his candidacy
for tho Hew York senatorship has aroused
President Arthur's friends to fresh exertions,
lie is in daily communication with his most
trusted supporters in tho legislature, and overy
few days some of his friends come over for a
personal interview with him. Blaine is thought
to favor Evarts, but it for anybody to beat Ar
thur.
MB. RANDALT.???S TRIP.
Mr. Randall will start on his southern trip
Fridoy. Ho has been much amused at the
importance attributed to his movements by hfs
bitterest opponents, and at the various expla
nation* they havo offered for them.
Washington, December 25. ??? [Special.] ???
Mr. Tiiden has engaged a suite of rooms in
???Washington and intends to bo presout at
Cleveland???s inauguration* lie writes to
friends hero that his heslth is better than
for some time past, and that he oxpocti to
be in Washington about March 1st, to [ro-
main two weeks. His rooms aro directly
under thoso already engaged by Ilondrlcks,
With Tiiden and Hendricks, Blaine and
J.ogsn, Hancock and English, Arthur and
probably Grant hero on tho 4th of ???March,
Cleveland will have the groatest array of
presidential candidates that ever witnessed
on inauguration.
Washington, December 27.???[Special.]???
Hon, Samuel J. Randall started os
his southern trip at fiva o???clock
this afternoon accompanied by Mrs.
Randall and Representative McAdoo, of Hew
Jersey. He will visit Hashville, Louisville,
??? Birmingham and Chattanooga, being compell
ed to decline the invitations to Charleston,
Ashland, Ky., and Hew Orleans. Just as he
was leaving he received a pressing invitation
from tho board trade of Mobile, to visit that
city which he declined with regrets by tele
graph. Persons who take the trouble to ex
plain Wattenon???s frenzied attacks, sty they
are animated not so much by his opposition
to Randall???s tariff views as by tho bitter
memory that while he was prancing around
Washington last winter, lobbying for tho
whisky bill, Randall was choking the life out
of it.
Mr. Tindall will he sccompanicl by
his wife and by Congressman McAdoo,
of Hew Jersey, lie w ill be met at Win
chester,* Lexington and Frankfort by re
ception committees, who will escort him to
this city. Monday morning he will he en
tertained by Mr. John ??.?? Green, president of
the board of trade. At noon hs will be on
???Change, and will he welcomed officially by the
board of trade, who have called a special
meeting for the purpose. The in
vitation to Mr. Randall by the
hoard of trade was passed without
a single dissenting voir.- a 13 p. m. Mr. Randall
will be dined by the Fendennfs dob, the most
fashionable club <n the ??ty?? At night he will
make a speech at Liederkrona hall, after which hs
will hold an Informal reception. He will leave at
midnight for KaihvlUe, In charge of a committee
from that* place. He will go to Birmingham
Wednesday, and will return north by way of
Chattanooga and Lynchburg Mrt. Randall while
here is the guest of Mrs. O ???or Tamer.
Wasbixctox, December 23.???[Special.]???
When the present congressional recess is over
the contest between the senate and the house
on the temporary nave! appropria'ion bill will
be renewed. Both si dee made a great show of
firmness in the committee of conference last
.week. The bouse hss every advantage. It
compelled the senate at the very close of the
last geamon to recede from the position it has
???gain assumed. In the senate the advocates
of the disputed amendments can'command no
more than their party strength, and barely
that, whilo in the house the democratic
majority baa the support of soveral ^publi
cans, including their broadest and most caps-
pable leader, ex-Goverftor Long, of Massa
chueetts. Senator Hale, chairman of the sen
ate naval committee, has his head set on
tacking the steel cruisers on to the house bill;
making appropriations for the navy for tho
next six months. Ho goes back on the theory
that riders should not be placed upon appro
priation bills, which theory his party chain
pioned in tho famous extra session
during the Hayes administration, when
the democrats were trying

The five million dollars they ask is for nothing
more than an experiment. Ho guaranty can bo
given that the money will accomplish tho con
struction of a single vessel that will be fit to
float in a modern armnda. * Naval authorities
aro now engaged in a spirited discussion of
the merits of the steel cruisers just finished
for our navy. They have not yet been tested
tb&t they wifi bo praetically ???worthless
for tbo purnoso they wero designed
to accomplish. To throw livo
million dollars more into these experiments
before tho points of superiority or inferiority
of the cruisers already built have been ascer
tained is what the senate requests the house
to do, and to do in ou unusual way. The
bouse has refused. Tho tbroateued deadlock
can have but ono issue, the defeat of tho
senate. Before tho 4th of March all this
trouble will havo ended. The democratic
administration will be left to begin the resur

go but the greater part derived from the
pockets of the people. With an expensive,

sort was granted an annuity of $160,000.

COST OP Till QVEKN???fl RELATIVES.
The cost of royalty does not coose with tho
expenditure personal to tho queen. From
time to timo grants have bocn made to mem
bers of her family. Thoso awarded to tho
gone and nothing aono. I do not mention
this as a reproach to congress. It Is a fact
which, in the opinion oj many of its wisest
leaders, reflects honorably upon that body.
Tbero aro timos when it Is
statesmanship to do nothing. Tho discussion
of questions relating to tho public institutions
or tbo policy of tho government educate the
popular mind. They fill the nows^apors with
what Congressman So-and-so thinks on tho
duty of the hour and the destiny of the coun

g eneralize the interest in public affairs,
peeches dolivered to a dozen members are
printed by the thoasand to be scattered
among the people. Thoy fall often whoro
they are appreciated; help the genorous orator
who franks them through tho mails to pave
his way for another term; and often carry use
ful intelligence and wholcsomo lontiments to
tho masses of tho people. In fact, congress
at the disposal of tho people and does
not hido his face in some far-away
reticat. But tho allowances to the
other royal children aro barely tolerated
A good deal of feeling exists with regard to
other disbursements, and notably thoso mado
to the Cambridge branch of the royal family.
The present duke, cousin to the queen, is paid
??12,000 per annum, that sum having been
voted by parliament in 1850, whon his father
died. The proposal was opposed unsuccess
fully by John Bright, who regrotted that the
former duke, out of his largo income, had
made no- provision for his son, but left
him, with his sister Mary, dependent
on a voto of the house. Mr. Ilurao
moved that the sum suggested bo reducod to
??8,000, but Mr. Disraeli, even then a hearty
supporter of royalty, defended tho original
proposal, and thereby gained for him tell tho
gratitude of his sovereign. Princess Mary got
has many things to commend it, and like most I ??3,000 and on her marriage with tho jxjverty-

DAVIS AND THE DICTATORSHIP.
A Letter which Throws Light Upon tho
Mooted Subject,
From tlio Nashville Banner.
Tho letter, purposing to havo been written by
A. H. (Stephens to n. V. Johnson, in April, 18<H,
nnd given to tho public by General Shormso,
prom nothing against Mr. Davra.
In March, lfci, Lieutenant-General Folk, then
at Dcmopolir, Ala., sent tho writer to Richmond.
Thcobjectsof that mission have nothin j t> do
with tho matter In hand.
The condition of affairs In the confederacy at
that period, while not generally regarded as des
perate, was seriously alarming. There was among
tho people Wnd In tho armies a feeling that all was
not being done that could bo done; that thero was
Jack of vigor???a want of energy somewhere.
Among the soldiers, especially those of the west,
and among the peoplo at large, thero wero many
who believed that tho congress was obstructing
the best endeavors of Mr. Davis; whilo another
party held that tho president had brought upon
us a succession of disasters by bis attempt to di
rect camnalgns from bis executive offico in Rich
mond. Thero was talk of a dictatorship, but if
the idea met with favor among the statesmen of
the confederacy, it found but very tew friends
around the campfires.
On the writer's return to the west, about tho
20th of March, 18C4, ho stopped for a night at Au
gusta, Ga. The hotel was crowded with soldiers
and citizens. In tho public room were gathored
after supper, a largo number of ofilcers, represent
ing nearly every corps ot the several armies of tho
confederacy. An officer of General Johnston's
army and tho writer were engaged in conversa
tion. I recounted so much of au Interview with
President Davis as was properly a subject for talk
in a public p???acc.
ou think ot making Davit dictator????
asked my friend. My reply was that I had heard
whispers of such a project all tho way from Do-
roopolis to the Virginia line, but that during my
stay in Richmond, in free intercourse with, many
who wero presumed to be near to tho president, I
had not beard a syllable of any such thing.
At this moment a gentleman in citizen's dress,
who had been standing near us, faced menbruptly,
and appeared about to speak. As if restraining
himself with an effort, ho turned away, but I ob
served that tho unknown remained near, nnd that
he listened, while studiously avoiding tho appear
ance of doing so. This mun had already attracted
my attention. Rather abovo medium height, of
portly frame, n baudsomo man, his air wai so
much that of a grand scigueur that I took Min for
ono of tho higher rank of civil officials of tho gov
ernment.
Somewhat nettled at tho very evident lntorcst
this gentleman bad In our conversation, I went on
to say: "If Mr. Davis Is to bo mado kiug, the king
maker isn???t at Richmond. Warwick doesn't live
In Virginia. Tho scheme will never get beyond
the conception. Within thirty days after Mr. Da
vis assumed dlctatoilol power, Sherman could
march into Atlanta without reslitance, anil Grant
could comp his army along the James without fir
ing a tun.??? Tho handsome gentleman shrugged
his shoulders and pushed his way out of sight
through the crowd,
The hotel was not a largo ono; rooms wero few
and the guests many. Tho unknown and myself
were put into tho sarao room and occupied tho
same bed.
As was natural, wo talkod???at first of tho woath-
cr, the latest news from the front, and tho like,
The lco of mutual reserve soon molted away. The

fiamation or ulceration of the lining nembranco of the nasal passages. Tin re aro several va

Some Bad Symptoms.
The long continued corruption of the air that is breathod passing ovor tho foul matter in

is less buoyancy of spirits, tho appotite Is often llokle, tho head is less clear, it is difficult to
keep Iho .energies up to tho old standard, and oftou. without knowing why, ho is conu>i<m??

close, ill-ventilated school-rooms; tho over-boated atmosphero, charged with tho steaming

fearful rapidity.
Lawyers In the Court,Room and judges on, tho bench, from tho snmo general cause,
