C., March 4.—Tho seenea on tho streots to-night aro without « parallel in the history of Washington, The colobration of tho full of Itlechmond, when the whole city was iMuninated, wasa tamo affair by comparison, Attho south front of tho ‘Treasury Hullding there wasn magnificent display of froworks, which attractei a crowd of perhaps 10,000 peo- plc, From tho south front of tho Treasury to the avenue and theneo to Thirtoenth stroce thoro waa ono dengo, solld mass of poo ple, through which 1 pedestrian .had to elbow lis way Inch by Ineh. Furthor up, oppoalt the Republican Building, thors wus another dlsplay of rockats, Roman candles, and otbar Hroworks, while far away at tho other end of the avenue tho great white dome of the Capitol stood out, cloarly outlined ayuinata backgrownd of darkness, tiko a innyie ploture painted on tho sky. ‘This romarkablo effect was produced by menne of powerful cloctric lights brought w bonr on the dome, while the balunce of the hugo building lay in shadow, ALL OF THE MOTELS woro brilllautty Uyhted up with oxtra mas- ots, tho White House grounds were bung {tall of Chlnese lanterns, and tho yurl- ous flowerbeds were. stuck full of tly giuas globes of every Imuyiuable color, within cach of which burned a candle, Those were arranged in funtastio patterns, and tho gencral cifect was extremely pretty, The Post Tultdiog divplayod Just above tho figure of Bfer- cury whieh adorns wnicho on its front a larg portralt of President Gartiuld, Over thia was printed in lurge letters, * Welcome!" and under+ neath the legend, “To tho Proaldent who unters ut the stralght door, ‘Jie that jerees in by the door, or ollinbs wy some Binet” wage ot tblon aw Eebuer, aaa Tikes wise a fraud—John, x, 1" Bands of music with companies of tho yinilitary—aro parading o atreots continually, dnd the stroct-cars can arcely wWuko NY progress whutever, [ny pee tho avenue dnd oyen tho side streots aro lovked with people, TUE WEATHER, which was sg fnclument all nightand this morn- Iny, Une yiveu Way lo neky a8 clear as sipphiro, though tho air fs chilly und uucomtortuble. ‘There bas beon an unusual amougs of drunken- Noss on the streets to-dny, and a yood many figbta between roughs resulted, ‘Tho proocusion this afternoon waa marred by oue out- break, All along the ino vltizeng Ciyot or ten deep were buddled as closa tw tho space ayer which the inlitlury orgunizas Hons Were murebing as the poles would allow, Many of these wen were drunk, und some of thei abusive In Hania and gesture, Bono of them persisted fi hurrabiuy for Huncock, but yo ony tuok auy notice of it until the Hurmony egion of Pusladelptla, conspicuous for thulr HHromen-lke red shirts, came along.

UNDECIDED ULON, Spectat Dispatch to The Chteago Tribune. Wasiunotoy, D.C, March 4.—Gen. Garticld's Cabinet 1s yet to be made, Last night it was supposed that the leading position, next to the Htate Department, was settled by the appolut- ment of Allison, of Town, na Seerctary of the ‘Treasury; but this morning all plans were again unsettled hy the fact that Senator Allison his declined tho position. Tho day bna been so fully oceupted with the inauguration that there hag been Iittle time for Cablnot-making, and it now secins probable that the day upon which It fs expected that the nominations will be sent to tho Sennto wil dawn with tho inet ati noteolected. Mr. Allison, there is much rengon to belteve, had been tho first cholve of Gon, Gariich! for the Treasury. His name was on the lst prepared at Mentor, but the nominn- tlou was not formatly tendered to him until lust night, MR. ALLISON, who had been up the preceding night engaged in work upon tho Appropriations Committee, of which ho isn momber, retired from the Naval Conunittes room uf tho Senate, where he had an interview with Mr. Blaing, at which ft Is supposed the tender of the ‘Trenaury was made to hit. Mr. Allison bas been opposed. to leaving the Senate ever since his name was first mentioned in connection with a Cablnet position. He hasa Teasonuble certainty of being bis own succersurs Aud fs pleased with bis present position, Should ho teave the Senate for four years ho would, perhaps, piace himself outulte tho fine of pollti= eat promotion in his own State, and his seat in Nie Senate might beoccupiod by his rivals, ‘There was, howaver, ONE REASON which alone Induced Mr. Allison to dealine tho proffered honor. His wife is now ina very dell- cate atato of henlth, her illness belng of a norv- ous charneter, The socinl duties of the wife of the Secretary of the Treasury are extremely arduous, and cannot be ovaded, Mr. Allison feared that, if ho should aceept the pince, its socinl duties night consequently result. in ve serious Ulness in his household, and for this powerful domestic renson he felt compelled to decline. Those who understand the situation will apprecinte the fact that Mr. Allison bus mide his duty to his family tho paramount con- alderation in this important decisiun, IT 18 VERY Posstnr. that Towa may not secure n Cabinet. pince, In view of the declination of Senntor Allison. It is cortain that Mr. Kirkwoud has not yet been tendered the Interior Vepartment, and it ta said to-night to be probable that he will not be. Meanwhile, the only two plages which w can be said to-night are ‘absolutely fixed are Bialno, Secretary of Stute, and Hobort Lincaln, Seerotary of War. Judea Hunt's friends claim that he [gs certain of somo Cabinet place, and, curiously enough, be 18 considered as belug equally well aanod to the <Attornos-Gon- eratship, tho Postmaster-Gencralship, — or the Sccreturyship of tho Interior. But there aro sonic Indications that Hunt's pros- pects are tess favorable to-night. The only now namo meoutioned to-day is that of Judge Gresham, of Indiana, who {s stwgested for the Interlor Dopartment. Some vf tho Indiana Republicans hero are very tuch dissutiatied at this sugvcation, und ono of them goca so far ns tosay that If Gresham fs nominated he will nover be confirmed. Some of the Indinna Stale warts declare thut Gresham's Republicanism dovs not plonse thom.
