The destitution here has continued to increase, but the Board of Health has been enabled, through the generous donations of the country, to keep up with eaoh case of distress and to ameliorate the widespread suffering.

It has already. promised $150 per diem up to the 15th and the rolls are in course of preparation to be forwarded for the additional sum which it has contributed.

The suspension of business here has been of wide extent and the suffering has been co extensive with the lack of work.

THE ARLINGTON CASE Argued Eefore the Supreme Court of the United States. The History of the Case. Special to the Picatunk.j Washington, Oct. 18. The argument in the celebrated Arlington case was begun today in the United States Supreme Court, before a full bench.

The Judges manifested close interest in the case, and a number of questions were put by them to the respective counsel. Mr. Willoughby, an able jusist, has just spoke abosn an hour and a half for the Government side, and Mr. S. K.

Beach for the some. The owner of the property, Gen. G. W. C.

Lee, spoke about thirty minutes. To morrow Judge Shlpman, of New York, and W. J. Robertson, of Virginia, will con clnde the argument in behalf of Gen. Lee, and Solicitor General F.

atiillips will close in behalf of the Government. Each side ill have three hours in all, but the court may allow nioro time, in view of the magnitude of the case. The Arlington estate, consisting of lioo acres, was devised by its owner, George Washington Parke Custis, the adopted son of George Washington, to his only child, Mrs. Mary Lee, wife of Gen. Robert E.

Lee. to be held during her natural life, and at her death to pass in remainder to his eldest grandson, O. W. Custis Lee, to be held in fee. Mrs.

Lee died in 1874, when tho title passed to Gen. Cuetia Lee, her son, as provided in the will. I'nder the direct tax act of August 1861, tax was assessed on the Arlington estate of 92 07, raymcnt of this tax was tendered to the I'nited States Tax Cominlaslouers by Phillip M. Fandall, of Washington, a friend and relative of Mrs. 1 but the commissioners refused to receive the tax, except from the owner in person.

Mrs. Lea was very intirui in health, and at that time in Southern Virginia. It also apiears by abundant testimony that the commissioners had adopted as a rule and practice nut to receive the tax except from the owner in person. The United States Fupreine Court have held, iu several cases since the war, that a sale under such circumstances was invalid, and have restored the property to the owners. In this ease the Commissioners, instead of selling enough of the property to pay this small tax, proceeded to sell tho whole property.

It was old for iii.soo a jumi largely below its real value, aud was bought by the I uitcd States Government, which proceeded to convert it into a cemetery aud a ijnasi military pord. No part of this purchase money has ever been refunded cit her to Mrs. Ice, who lived until 1S73, or to Gen. lee. Alter the decision the United' states Supreme Court atiuiilUni? the sales where the commission! is had proceeded to sell under the rule of refnsiug tax except from the owner iu person, den.

Custis Lee iv pcKteilly appealed to Congress to make a suitable compensation. As the place had been converted iuto a Government eente tciy, mid lu.ooO soldiers lmd been buried there, lie did not desire to disturb the dead or to interfere with the actual possession of the tomb of Union soldiers. He relied on the clause of the; constitution that private proiterty shall not is taken for a public use without Just oewupensation to the owner. He put offto the last moment the bringing of bis suit iu eject went, though he was advised by endue ut counsel that his right to recover was perfectly clear. His repeated memorials were disregard, through the malign iutlucnce of Conkling and Edmunds, when tinally lie rcsortod to the law by an action of ejectment against Kuutfinan and' Strong, theoilicers iu narge, on lHjbalf of.the United The ease began in a State Court, and was promptly transferred by the United Mates Attorney to the United States Circuit Court for East Virginia, Judge S.

Hughes presiding. Tncre the Attorney General appeared for the Uui States, and made the suggestion that the United States had been for ten curs in possession of the property, aud. denying the jurisdiction of the Court, moved that the siut be dismissed. To this the plaintiff demurred, and the Court sustained the demurrer. The case went to trial, and the jury found for the plaintiff, (ien.

Lee, that he was entitled in fee to the property. There were two appeals taken to the United States Supreme Court, one by the two agents. Strong and KauB'man, aud one by the United States Attorney. The eauso was argued fully at the last term of the Supreme Oourt, when there were only eight judges ou the bench. The court, however, did not decide it.

aud whep Judge Blatch ford took his seat the court ordered the case to le reargued at this" term'. The position of the Government counsel is, that the sovereign cannot sued without his own consent; aud that the fact that the Government Is In possession is a full hir to the jurisdiction of this court or any judicial tribunal. Mr. Willoughly urged this view by every species of ingenious reusoniug, but carefully avoided discussing the baueful consequences of such a doctrine. He was hard pressed by questions from Judges Harlun and Field.

In replv to the latter Judge, who put the case or an officer taking possession wrongfully of a citizen's house under orders of the Secretary of War, he replied that in that case it might perhaps be held that the possession liy the officer was not the posseseiou of the uitcd States. The questions put by Judges Miller. Mt thews, Field. Harlan and Blatchford appeared to iudicate that they were not satistted with the doctriBe of Mr. Willoughby.

The brief remarks of Mr. Beach were very clear and incisive and rather novel in his view of the case. He argued that the possession was not the possession of the United States that in order to show this possession it must be shown that the United States has the legal right and title. He said that if the United States held it, it must be by agents, who must act under orders and commands and that such command must be pursuant to the constitution and laws of the United States, and that otherwise it was the unlaw fnl and wrongful holding of an officer and not the possession of the United States. He discriminated the case of the United States from the case of Great Britain, whore the sovereignly rested in a single person.

The great in this cause will be made to morrow IrVudge Robertson, of Virginia. The priecipiea involved are of transcendant importance, and are whether any citizen can assert a right to his property against the Government and its agents. MONROE, LA. Adjournment of the United States The Rains Caase a Rise In the Ouachita. River.

Special to the Picayune. Mokhoe, Oct. 18. The United States Circuit and District Courts, regular term, adjourned here to day. In the matter of L.

D. AUen, et al. vs. the steamboat St. John, in which libelants sued for damage caused to the pleasure boat Catamaran, judgment was rendered against defendant for $112 and costs.

The heavy rain that prevailed in this section of country last night and to day has caused a considerable rise in the Ouachita River. Two miners announced in a Dakota barroom that they were going to dissolve partnership. Which of you Is to withdraw was asked. "Cant tell until the tight is over," was the reply. This meant in earnest, too, for the men fought next day with pistols, and one received a mortal wound.

18. There are 6igns of a partial attention to public business by the President and some of his Cabinet. The President is expected to reach here to morrow. It is reported at the Soldiers' Home that he will occupy what is known there as the Riggs Cottage," which ha been handsomely fitted up for him. The," President House is undergoing repairs, but there is no reason Thy he could not have spent the month nt the Soldiers' Home and given daily uttention to his duties.

Secretary Folger has also returned and iijo here a few days. He says nothing about resigning, aud nothing about taking any part iu the New York State cau VUSS. Mr. Attorney General Brewster, whose presence is just now more uoeded than that of other member of the Government, is till absent in Pennsylvania on apolitical errand. The Republican papers sharply coiiilcum his desertion of his post at this critical time in the star route prosecution.

The New York Times says that people ho havc obscrved the ceaseless activity of the accused are not encouraged to hope for similar zeal on the part of the prosecution by the fact that the Attorney General is out of the city and may not return to his post until after the November elections." The New York Herald, referring to the fact that Mr. Spencer, who holds an important office under the Government, and lias leen summoned as a witness aud has gotten out of the way of giving testimony, and is still retained in the office, says that President Arthur appears in a very bad light in the position of a great public officer thwarting justice and protecting evil doers, aud it does not wake the case less awkward that persons whom he seeks to shield are prominent politicians of his own wing of the Republican party." POLITICAL PROSPECTS. The Solid Democracy of the Empire State, And the flood Work Expected Tram the Keystone 8tate. Special to the Picavcke.I Washington, Oct. 18.

The Democracy of New York city are now thoroughly and cordially united upon their State. Congressional and municipal tickets. There does not seem to be even a ripple of discontent irr any quarter. Mr. Ed son, the candidate for the Mayoralty, is personally indorsed by the Sun, Tribune ond other papers.

The Herald objects that he was suggested by Mr. Kelly, but has naught to say against Edson personally. As a result of this unity the citizens' movement to put up a city ticket has entirely broken down, and the attempt is now abandoned. One of the leaders of that movement stated that he had found every body in the city" convinced that Mr. Edson is a good man.

This harmony and union will be the means of drawing out a big vote, and it is not unlikely that Cleveland will have majority in New York city and Brooklyn. A well informed stalwart Pennsylvania Republican Informs me that the Cameron party concede that the Independent ticket will get 70,000 votes. Its friends claim 100,000. In either case Pattlsou, Democrat, will be elected Governor by an overwhelming plurality. PIRATES IN POLITICS.

An Innocent Victim in Jay Hubbell's Hands. The Administration's Way fCanipalgniug. ISpecial to the Picatxwb.j Washington, Oct. 18. A correspondent of a prominent Republican Journal was in Jay Hubbell's office to day, when a poor devil of a clerk called and implored to be let off from the paynieut of the two per cent, assessment on his annal salary, which had been demanded by these bandits.

He stated that be had already paid $32 to the State Republican Association, of which he was a member; that he hada family, and was poor and in debt, and could uot stand any more hloeonig. Hubbell listened coldly, and told the man that others in his case managed to pay their assessments, but that If he would walkinto his private office he would take his case into consideration. Bnt for lho presence of a newspaper correspondent he would probably have been much more peremptory. The civil service reform idea is further illustrated in an extensive system of renovating the Government office. Hundreds of unfortunate men and women have been deprived of bread for no reason whatever.

There is plenty of work to do, and a liberal appropriation. There is no allegation of unfitness. It is believed that the object is to make places for persons who are to be rewarded for party service, tho theory of the Arthur Administration being that the country can be governed by public patronage.
