C., March 10.—The Senate; after spending three-quarters of an hour in exccutive session, confirmed the President’s Cabinet. There were two opposing votes cast by Democrats againet the confirmation of Key, Senator Thurman being reported as having cast one of them. The few Republicans who re- mained of the collapsed opposition who could not bring themselves to yote for Key declined to vote. It is said there were two votes against the coofirmation of Schurz, one Uemocrat and one Republican. Scuator Blaine, it is stated, refrained from voting in Schurz’s case, s did scveral other Repub- licans. Evarts finally received the vote of Simon Cameron, the latter stating that his Committee was unanimous in favor of reporting Evarts’ name, ana he always felt compelled to VOTE WITH HIS COMMITTER. . snrs) The only ‘votes agalust” Evarts were cast by Democrats. The opposition to him was made in the Committee of Foreign Relations, and, mach as some of the members of the Commit- tee were personally opposed to him, they did not venture upon such an fmpolitic step as to report or vote against him. Schurz’s only op- posing vote in Committec is said to have been cast by Scoator Jones, of Nevada, who docs mot like Schurz’s theories sbout bonanza mining, and who s opposed to giving Schurz appellate jurisdiction over all important mining titles. it may be amusing to remember ‘as part of the history of the peculiar contest that Simon Cameron’s chief ‘point against Evarts was based ON HIGH MORAL GROUNDS,— Cameron claiming that Evarts, while connected with the Geneva Award Tribunal, was also. at- torney for insurance companies, which shocked Cameron’s notions of propriety. The Democratic opposition to Evarts was due almost entirely to the part he took in the pro- ceedings of the Electoral Commission. Tze only whisper of opposition to McCrary washeard from Democratic sources on the ground that he had interested himself in tne Electoral Tri- bunal, first by moving the resolution proposing the Supreme Court as an arbitrator early in the session, and later by speaking as one of the ob- Jjectors. ONE POINT MADE AGAINST KEY vas that Republicans woula fcel humiliated to ask post-offices from an old Rebel. It isquitegen- erally understood, however, that Key will mnake so few changes in the post-offices that it will not be worth anybody’s while to ask for many. The only rollcall was on the confirmation of Evarts, Schurz, and Key. Thompson, McCrary, and Devens were confirmed withont opposition. EVERYBODY PLEASED. To the Western Assoctaled Press. WasniNeToN, D. C., March 10.—There is much favorable comment upon the action of the Senate to-day in coufirming the Cabinet ap- pointments of President Hayes. It is the im- pression that the Administration will without delay put into effect, through the various execu- tivedepartmennts, the policy outlined in the in- augural address. - The President this afternoon and evening was congratulated upon the fact that the Government is now fully organized. Al members of the Cabinet will take th oath of office on Monday, and enter immediately upon their respective duties. The flrgt Cabinet meeting will be on Tuesday. IHAYES’ SOUTHERN POLICY. WHAT MAY BE EXPECTED. Special Dispateh to The Tribune. Wasursetos, D. C., March 10.—There s 8 division of opinion among Republicans on the Southern question, but the President’s policy lhas not been announced except in gemeral terms, and it is not believed that any action will be talken to which the better element in the party will object without careful and thorough invcstigation It is mnot truc that Presl- dent Hayes' Administration is determined to abandon Packanl and to recog- nize Nicholls. President ~ Hayes was inaueuratuted bnt five -days ago, and_ his Cabinet is ‘not vet organized. He bas safd what his Southern policy is to be, but has not said how it-is to be accomplished, and probably does not himself now know. Whatever may be Hayes' decisicn as to the Iegality or illegality of the Packard Government, it is certain that he will ot recoguize any Gov- ernment the recogmition of which means that the Guvernment when recognized shall be main- -tasived by bayovets. President Hayes is fully determined, as Charles Foster in his speecn to the filibusters m:cdlctcd, that the flag shall doat YT SraTES, AND NOT PROVINCES. The Kellogz Government could not be main- tained except by bayonets, and Packard’s Gov- crnment is said to be infinitely weaker than that of Kelogg. There is very much reason to give credence to the stories that Heyes intends to withdraw the troops from actiye duty in sup- | port of the Governments in Louisiana and South Carolina, and to order them to remove to their reservations fn the States. Hayes cannot in any - ‘event continuo the military power after June 30. The Forty third Congress, which had a majority of 100 Regubllu\n votes, did not approve the bayonet policy, and' even if the Republicans fn both branches of Congress shoula be united upon ‘| this question now,a majority conld not' be found ineither House to sustsin amiitary pol in any SouthernState. The Democrats, who w‘f:y- trol the appropriations in the House, . certainly would not vote any appropriation for the pay of the army beyond June 30, and even if a de cfl:n- cy bill was reported, a deficiency bill for the pay of troops used in the South- wonld never be pnssh cq*tin the Bofisc." 'I'llnee Repul Benate, when it was manifes ublican, considered the Lonisiana quesuog 4 thout coming O ZO0R TEARS without coming to any ement except that Pinchback was not elected; yet. some of. Ehe am- bitious Republicans in the Senate have Insisted that President Hayes should have declared his go‘llltx before he had been insugurated. The etails of President Hayes’ intentions are not yet fully matured, but two _things remafn fixed: The policy ~ of = lis Administration will be, first, peace, pacification, and reconciliation in the South; second, reform in the Civil Service within the party thronghout the country. Hayes was elected in absolute retiance upon his fqnlmm integrity. That relf- ance will not be misplaced. ' It i3 two days less than & week since- he was inaugurated, yet in that time he has achieved a triumphant vfmzy over the leading politiclans. The Senate auto- crats, who for forty years have practically con- itrolled- appointments to office, have sur- -rendered. Itis quite evident that the details of the Southern policy of the Administration will mot be arran; uniil after the Commission which the ent contemplates sendine South HAS MADE ITS REPORT. Vice-President Wheeler will be at the head of that Commission. Itwill start South as soon as the executive session closes. Thnt session will probably soon close, as it is understood that an ogreement has been made with 2 majority of tne Democrats to vote witha certain number of Reflnb]hzm to postpone the decision of the Kelloggrase until the next session. The pur- pose in doing this is to enable the President to F“m Svutbern policy in execution without nterference from the Senate. BLAINE. HE PINDS DISCRETION THE BETTER PART. Spectal Dispaich to The Tridune. ‘Wasnixeros, D. C., March 10.—There is a zood deal of interest manifested in the probable position of the cloquent Illinois leader, Robert Ingersoll, on the political situation. New York papers to-day are full of advertising gags, which state that in a lecture which Ingersoll will de- liverin New York next Wednesday on the political situation he will arraign the Hayes Administration. Blaine’s name in these ad- vertisements is connected with Ingersoll’a position. Whatever may have been Blaine's intention when he made his first speech, he assures his friends with the greatest positive- mess mow that he has no intention of oppos- ing the Administration—never had. If Blaine did contemplate placing himself in the forward ranks as the leader of opposition to Rayes’ poi~ icy before that policy had been defined, the ‘unanimous voice of the press in every section of the country and the ] FLOOD OF TELEGRAPHIC PROTESTS and warnicgs of his personal friends have forced him to the conclusion that any such in- tention, if entertained, was a grave political mistake. At any rate Blaine now is seeking every opportunity to create the impression that he is not opposed to the. Administration, and wishes it especially to be known'that he voted .and labored for the confimation of both Sherman and Evarts, and was last night in socinl conference with thelatter. 1f Blaine, through pique or ambition, really contemplated leadinz the opposition faction, he hasabandoned the notion for the present, as there was no re- s?o“r'xficj:flllrglx,g }he country, and as the (vflamn_z diminished . in the last- few days, that he woul ‘5008 be left in & minority of one. % ' “"CAUSE AND EPPECT. 7o the Editar of The Tribune. CricaGo, March 10.—In your special Wash- ington correspondence of ldst evening, the pub- lic is informed that * All the rumors connect- ing Senstor Blaine with any movement tode- feat the confirmation of the Cabinet are de- Clared by his ffiends to be purely sen-ational and groundless. He is quite In favor of letting ‘Mr. Hayes have his own way in selecting his advisers.” On Wednesday ]ns_f_g'our Washington correspondent stated that “The Senators who areconspicuous in inaugarating this opposition, at the very threshold of the new Administra- tion, are Blaine, aud Cameron, of Pensylvania, and they propose to stand as sgainst Hayes for what Blaine calls the little remnant of the Republican ?nrty between the Potomac and the Rio Granae,” and the -Associated Press report of the same date says: “When the Senate went into executive session to consider the Cabinet appointments there was quite 8 lively scene in tlge Chamber. Under the rule of the Senatea single objection to the present consideration of any nomination sends it to tae appropriate com- mittce, and when the very first one, thatof Evarts to be Secretary of State, was announced, Mr. Blaine moved its reference to the Commit- tec on Foreign Relations.” Your wm;-spondenct(11 it is true, mc::f have been in error in his deductions of Wednesday. evening, but as to the truth of the Associated Press report of the action of the Sepate in the matter of referring there can be no possible question, as all Washington dispatches and re- ports of .that date confirm the Associated Press report. This refercnce of the President’s Cabi- net nominations is unprecedénted in the history of this country. In view of the unexceptionable and unquestioned high character of the names sent;to the Senate, their reference was an indig- nity, not to say insult. never before cast upon a newly-clected President. Party spirit has run high in this country in years gone by,—bitter feelings have existed between opposing parties in their contests for supremacy, but never was party hatred carried to such o pitch as would allow of a discourtesy of Hxis character being shown to 3 newly-clected President, and upon the very threshold of his administration. _And who was the leader in this [acTIoN wus” WIAAE up has oo rlaldli.

Wright, THE ** FREIE PRESS" of yesterday says: =~ Our Reform President has made another step forward. To the great grief of the numerons office-seeking patriots, he has declared that he will remove only. those officers against whom well- founded charges are made. President Hayes bas eaid with g;dect serenity what no President since Jackson has dared to say. This requires great courage, which can be appreciated only by thuse who know the desperation with which the fellow- soldiers of a victorious candidate proclaim to him their_services, and clamor for & reward. If Hayes continues with each unshaken courage and clear insight fo carry out every word of hin Tetter of acceptance, then the relics of opposition to his administration will vanish, like clonds be- fore the san, and the coantry will confdently ex- pect a thorongh purification of our public life. The oflices alone attract the horde of spoils politicians, the possibility of attaining wealth easily, 1f not “*crookedly.” If this possibility is done away with by a thorough reform of the civil service, politicat adsentarern will ose their aterest i pub- ic life, and better elements will come to the front which they have hitherto shunned, from disincli- nation to come in contact with office-seekers, We do not like to_make prognostications, bat we ven- tare to make one, viz: that after the expiration of four years, if Hayes is as constant to his reform prozramme os he has been, he will enjoy the affec- tion of the people of this country ton degree of move torefer? None other than the Hon. James G. Blaine, Reoublican Senator from Maine, who vour correspondent now tells us *“is. quite in Tavor of letting Mr. Hayes have his own way in selecting_ his own advisers.’” Actions are said to speak louder than words, and it’s 2 pity Mr. Blaine’s actions on-Wedoesday could not have spoken after this spirit. 1f this be the case, and Mr. Blaine is in favor of letting Mr. Hayes have his own way In the matter of his Cabinet selec- tions, what could have been his object in moving that Mr. Everts’ nomination be referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations, contrary to all custom, usage, and courtesy since the forma- tion of the Government? Tt s said as an excuse that these references were made from pru- dential motives, but, to the eye and mind of the ordinary reader, is there not another motive back of and patent upon .the very face of this action of the Scnate! How are snch scemingly contradictory positions to be recon- ciled? If Mr. Blaine was heartily in sympathy with the Administration on Wednesday last, and was in favor of letting Mr. Hayes have his own way in selecting his advisers, and was o) posed to any movement * to defeat the confir- mation of the Cabivet,” would he likely have beer the first.one to jump in and propose delay in- complying with the Presideni’s wishes—a course never before resorted to since the days of Washington? AMay it not be barcly possible that since ‘Weduesday Mr. Blaine has seen the ** handwrit- injon fhe wall,"” has heard beat the pulscof this great nation, or has scen sure suicide star- ing bim in the face?
