IN THE MORNING Speeial Disvatch to The Chicago Tribune. WasmnGroy, D. C., Mareh 5—The White House, early this morning, was the centre of attraction. People crowded there from every direction. President Gar- field did not receive generally, and the crowds of sight-seers were not admitted. They did not go away for some time, how- ever. They banked around the entrance, and tried to shove their way in whenever the door was opened to some one whom the President desired to see. But theycould not get in. The crowd continued to grow denser and denser as the day wore on, and formed lines down toward the gates until shortly after 11 o’clock. It was then announced that the President would re- ceive generally at 8 o’clock this afternoon, and not betore. This had the'effect of send- ing most of those in waiiing away. A few remained about the door, and kept wateh, in faithful expectation. THE PRESIDENT was in his office early this morning. He sat at the head of the Cabinet-table. In frontof him was 2 magnificent specimen of floralart. Itwasa fizure of blind Justice with her scales. The clerks wereall at their desks, and business Went along very much in its uwsual way. The clerks, = while busily zoitending to their work, were deeply inter- ested in the subject of what changes in the White House President Garfield may make. There will be no changes for a time at least, and they will be at best few in number. There may possibly be one or two changes, but beyond that it is not expected that any- thing will be done. All of the President’s family are now domiciled at the White Honse except Harry &nd Jmnes{;\vho are with Col. Rockwell. President Garfiecld is greatly fatizued by what e has gone through in the past few days, but otherwise he is in his usual health. TO-NIGHT many members of the Army of the Cumber- land called on President Garfield, pronyjpent smong wlom were Gens. A. D. McBbok, . B. Hogan, T. T. Crittenden, Ben. Lefevre, and Capts. Frank Gross, and S. C. Benjamin. A large number of delega- tions paid their respects to President Gar- field throughout the day and evening. THRE OLD CABINET. ITS MEETING YESTERDAY. ‘. WasmxGToN, D. C., March 5.—A special Cabinet session convened at 1 o’clock. Present Secretaries Evarts, Goff, Ramsey, Schurz, Postmaster-General Maynard, At~ tormey-General Devens, and Acting-Secre- tary of the Treasury French. President Garfield informed the Cabinet that he would probably send to the Senate about 3 o’clock the list of nominations comprising those of his Cabinet. -In making the announcement the President spoke very feelingly, assuring the gentlemen present that it caused him sincere regret to part with their valuable services. Referring to their respective resig- nations, which had all been tendered, the President hoped each one would do himn the service of remaining in his position until his successor should qualify, which would probably be several days. After some further remarks on this subject, the Presi- dent inquired after the business of the sev- eral departnients in a general way. TIE OSLY MATTER OF IMPORTANCE +brought to the attention of the meeting was Dresented by Acting-Secretary French, being arequest from the National banks, recently Teceived at the Treasury Department, that they may be allowed to redeposit the . bonds ¥ithdrawn, and take outof the Treasury the legal-tenders deposited for tho retire- ment of their circulation. The subject was discusse some extent. _without Teaching a conclusion. Acting-Secretary neh ~ said it was not at all DProbable any decision would be made by him Which would change the regulations of the partment regarding the withdrawal of legaltenders by National banks; that the Question would require thorough considera- Yanbefore it could be finally determined, which could not be given it during the short ;ilxx gxe will be at the head of the Depart- LEFT OVER.

C., March 5.—Now that the new Administration is installed, the claims and demands of the office-seekers will receive attention. It will be first necessary to attend to the appointments in the cases where commissions are about to expire, The next principal appointments will be the for- eign missions. The earliest Federalappoint- ment that will have to be made in Chicago Is that of United States Marshal for the North- ern Allinois Distriot. There are a number of candidates for this office. The present Mar- shal, Mr. Hildrup, will bestrongly supported by Represencative Sherwin, who claims that Hildrup has much in his favor in thesfact of his possession ot the office; that he has made a good record as a Marshal and that (certainlyon civil service grounds) He is entitled to retain the oflice. MR. HILDRUP, in addition to the recommendation of Con- gressman Sherwin,, has received a large in- dorsement by the Bar of the United States District Court, and also of a good many State politicians. His principal supportis out of Congress. It is not expected that he will be recommended. by either of the Illinois” Senators. The most formidable candidate who has any prospect of appointment is A. MM Jones, sometimes known as *Long?™ Jones, now Collector of Internal Revenue in the north- ern part of the State. Mr. Jones has the very enthusiastic support of Senator Logan, and is also indorsed, it is claimed, by Rep- resentatives Hank Lewis, Cullan, and Pay- son, and perhaps by others. The contest over the appointment of Jones has already assumed shape. MR. FARWELL isin the field against him. He to-day pre- sented to Gen. Garfield a protest from the Ninth Illinois District, which made the fight in the last State Conven- tion in favor of district representation. Mr. Farwell claims that, in this, he represents not himself but the nine districts which insisted upon the rightsof district representation in the Chicago Convention, and that, in this respect, he is entitled to much more strength and recognition than the rep- resentative of any single Congressional dis- trict would be. 3fr. Farwell is supported by two or three Lieutenants in his camptign against Jones, one of whom is Col. Abner Taylor. Representative Farwell, it has been claimed, had a candidate for this place in the person of ex-Speaker James, of the Illinois Assembly, a resident of Lake County. But it is now certain that Farwell’s support will be given to JOHX STILLWELL, ) the present Deputy-arshal, Mr. Stillwell has very strong support, notably among those who were advocates of the nomination of James G. Blaine for President. Ie may secure one or two of the Congressmen, al- though many of these gentlemen have candi- dates of their own. Representative Hender- son, for iustance, wishes the appointment of Col. Elliott, of Princeton, Benson County. Col. Elliott is a lawyer thers, was a soldier, and has held some important local offices. Representative Davis, of Chicago, is sup- posed to favor the appointment of Afr. Morse, of the West Side, and intends to remain in Washington until the appoint- ments are decided. There will also be quite a contest over the office of COLLECTOR OF INTERNAL REVENUE in Chicago, as the commission of the present incumbent, J. D. Harvey, expires early this year. It is not yet known what Senator Logan’s attitude with respect to this appoint- ment will be. 3{r. Harvey will be strongly opposed by local influences in Chicago, and is not understood at present to have the sup- port of any of the, Chicago Congressmen. Afr. Brainard, wh¥ is President of ‘‘the Open Board of Trade,” is & candidate for this position. JAMES H. GILBERT, long a member of the Common Council, isa candidate for the office, and will receive the very cordial support of Representative Aldrich, who was an associate Alderman with him in the noted *Reform Common Council.” Mr. Gilbert is strongly recom- mended on account of his abilities and his eflicient political service. Of course itisas yet impossible to indicate what the result of the numerous applications will be, as Gen. Garfield will not for some days recover from the great fatigne connected with the forma- tion of the Cabinet and the inauguration ceremonies. THE COMMISSION OF FRANK GILBERT, TUnited States Sub-Treasurer, expires early this season. ~Mr. Gilbert never received much support smong the politicians, but did have the support, and the very earnest in- dorsement, of Col. Robert G. Ingersoll, to | whom he is related by marriage, . The poli- ticians opposed himi when he was last appoint- ed, but Mr. Gilbert won. He is now a candi- date for reappointment, unless he can get something better, and he claims that his office has been conducted in an en- tirely satisfactory mauner, and that on the principles of good government he is entitled to the place. Col. Ingersoll still stands at his back, and Congressmen who look towards this office with a good deal of iuterest do not appear to desire to cross swords with him. -3fr. Gilbert would like very much to get sometning better, al- though it does not appear that his wishes have taken shape with respect to any other specific place. ¢ THE SUB-TREASURY AT CHICAGO 15 less sought than any of the other offices, as the compensation is very small compared with the enormous bond which has to be given and the grave responsibilities for the losses of money. The vast majority of politicians who seek oftice shun this, 2sit would be utterly impossible for them to se- cure bonds, and the bill which proposed to charter the United States Security Company, the object of which was to furnish bonds to needy political applicants, failed to become alaw. M. Gilbert, if he does not succeed in getting that better ofiice to which he aspires, will undoubtedly have little opposition. There is to be an animated contest over the office of PENSION AGENT for thenorthern portion of the State, not~ " withstanding the commission of Miss Sweet, the present incumbent, does not expire until Afarch 18,1652 This isregarded as one of the most valuable offices in the State, and there is & good deal of restiveness among the politicians that Miss Sweet has been allowed 10 retaiu it so long. A verv bitter fight was made against her when she received her ap- pointment the last time poth by the men who desired the office and by one other lady, Mrs. Mulligan. Miss Sweet had strong friends, Who stood by her, among whom was Secre- tary Schurz, who will no longer be able to support her as Secretary of the Interior. One of the yrominent candidates to succeed her is Maj, Scribaer, of Chicago, at present the Probate Court fi;flwbl;figo fiztzg- pects to be able to show considera! i- cal influence, Another candidate for the Pension Office is J. N. Hyde, of Lee County, in the Congressional district represented by Thomas J. Henderson. He-1s at present Circuit Clerk in that county, and hasbeen for some years, Hels . A SOLDIER WIIO LOST ONE ARM in the service, a fact which isa very poten- tial factor in the prosecution of his case. He will receive the supportof a considerable number of-State officers, It _is learned to- night that the report that 3Ir. Farwell would support ex-Spenker James for the position of Internal-Revenue Collector is incorrect. He has decided to favor the appointment of James H. Gilbert. There are a good many aspirants In 1llinois for foreign missions. One of the most prominent among them:. and the one perhaps mogt likely to be successful, i Gen. Stephen A. Hurlbut, who, it is under- stood, would be glad_to receive the appoint- ment as Minister to Mexico. GENERAL HURLBUT - * speaks Sganlsh fluently, is a skilled diplo- mat, and has had much experience as & rep- reseutative of our Government in South American _countries. He also has the ad- vantage of a very warm personal friendshi of the new Secretary of State, James G. Blaine, who will be likely to have a good deal tosay in the distribution of diplomatic ap- pointments. Our present Minister to Mexico is Philip H, Morgan, of Louisiana, who was appointed through certain influences under the Hayes Administration which it is not supposed will receive a great deal of favor now. Mr. Morgan’s chief supporters were. Southern Democrats, Ile himself never was a Republican, It is very probable that he, in any event, will be removed. PHILIP C. HAYES, defeated member of Congress from the Sev- enth 1llinois Distrlch» also aspires to grace the country in the diplomatic service. His ambition is not a modest one. He wishes to be Minister to Italy, a place now filled by the venerable George B. Marsh, a man emi- nent in letters. Mr. Marsh, it is said, under no circumstances will retain tke vlace, as he Jisinadvanced years and in feebls health, and desires to Tetire from public Jife. Mr, Hayes will not receive the full support of the Iilinois delegation for this place. W. V. POWELL, present Superintendent of Public Schools at Aurorn, is a_candidate for some German Consulate.” Mr. Powell is @ brother of Aaj. Powell, of the scientific surveys, and is him-, self a scientific man. Mr. Powell was a candidate on the. ILePubflcnn ticket for S perintendent -of Public Instruction in Illi- nois in 1872, but was defeated Vvith the rest of the Republicans in the political ruin which resulted from the Granger craze. Mr. Etter, Clerk of the Committee on Elections in the Congress which has just expired, de- feated him. Mr. Powell speaks French and Geruan, and will receive very strong polit- ical support. Ex-Representative Albert P. Forsythe, of Illinois, of the Fifteenth Dis- ant‘,lelecbenl to Congress as a Greenbacker, but defeated for renomination, is a candidate for Commissioner of Agriculture. FORSYTHE’S FRIENDS | now claim that he always was a Republican, and in his votes during the last year he has certainly acted uniformly with that party. Hais a practical farmer and a very prominent officer of the National Granfi Other _candi- dates for this place are Dr. Loring, of Massa- chusetts, also defested for reglection last fall, a scientific and practical farmer in Massachusetts, President of the State Agri- cultural Society, and the/author of a number of standard agricultural works. QOrange Judd, editor of the American Agriculturlst, is also a candidate for the place. Emery Cobb, of IHlinois, prominently connected with -agricultural interests, is another candidate, - THE NATIONAL COMMITTEE. AN IMPORTANT QUESTION. Spectal Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune. WaAsHINGTON, D. C., March 5—The Na- tional Republican Committee met here to- day. There was a very full attendance, Gov. Jewell, Chairman, presiding. Dr. Purvis, of Washington, colored, was ‘selected as the member of the Committee from the District of Columbia. It had been expected that some decision would be made in the matter of District representation in the nextNation- al Convention, and the mode of calling the Convention together. Two reports were made upon that subject by the Sub-Commit- tee of three to which the question was re- ferred. The majority report wa¢ sizned by William E. Chandler and Edward McPher- son, and the minority by George Gorham. ‘The majority report declares that the Repub- lican National Convention of 1834 shall con- sist of four delegates-at-large from each Stare and two delegates from sach Congres- sional District, with an additional delegate- at-large for each Republican Senator in the then-existing or next-preceding Congress, and an additional district delegate for each Republican Representative in each Congress, all to be chosen at POPULAR CONVENTIONS, in such manner as the Republicans of each State may determine, provided that the dele- gates from each Congressional district shall be the choice of the Republicans of that dis- trict in the Convention held within the dis- trict for that purpose. The Conventions within the States for the election of delegates to the National Convention shall be held at least one month before_the meeting of the National Convention. Notices of contests may be given to the National Committee, ac- companied by full printed stateinents of the grounds of contest, which shall also be made public, and A PREFERENCE IN TEE ORDER OF HEARING and determining contests shall be given by the Convention according to the dates of the reception of such notices and statements by the National Convention. The minority re- port made by George Gorham defends the ting system of State representation, and gefaims that it does not come within the province of the National Republican Com- mittee to determine the manner in which aelegates to the National Couvention shall be elected. ‘'The whole subject was referred to 2 committee of five, of which Mr. William E. Chandler is Chairman, to report asto the practicability of some new rule within a year, und the Committee adjourned. A DISCUSSION of about two hours in -length took place, Mr. Gorham and two Southern members of the Committee, Mr, Strobach, of Florida, and Mr. Hicks, sixflporclng the minority re- vort, while Mr. Chandler and Alr. Mec- Pherson advacated the adoption of their own plan. Mr. Gorham’s idea was that the Na- tional Convention had no right to perpetuate its ideas beyond the term of its own exist- .throng remaining., The ence. 1t could not instruct the Committee nor could any action of the Committce be binding upon the Republicans of the States or upon State Conventions. Mr. Strobach and Mr. Hicks both argued tha the- increase in representation based upon the numbers of TRepublican Senators and Representatives in Congress would benefit the North alone, and to that extent WOULD DISFRANCHISE THE SOUTH. “Mr. Chandler and Ar. McPherson success- fully eombated these ideas, asserting that the Committee, bulnd,' the creation of tha Conven- tion, was_ bound to obey 1ts Jcommands, and that the Committee, while its power ended when the next Convention was called to order, still had full power to preseribe the form of the call which should be issued for that Convention. It was, in fact, the Con- gress, or the Repository of all authority of the Republican party during the interim be- tween Conventions. Chandler denied that the proposed new plan was designed to ex- clude the Territories froui representation. EX-PRESIDENT HAYES. IS DEPARTURE, Bpecial Dispatch to The Chicago Tridune. WasHINGTON, D. C., March 5.—President Hayes lett for Ohio this. morning in the spe- cial car which brought Gen. Garfield here,. recompanied by the Cleveland Grays as an escort. The ex-President was called on by several members of the Cabinet, who took leave of him. He was recognized then bya nusnber of soldiers belonging to the Penn- sylvania regiments, and a large number called on him. Subsequently the car was taken to the depot, and, whilo there, Mr. Hayes received quite an ovation, as it was not long before the soldiers discovered his presence, From 11 o’clock to 12:30 he was compelled to stand on the back plat- form, shaking hands with the soldiers and others who crowded to the car. Although it was raw and cold, Mrs. Hayes stood at the side of Mr. Hayes and shook hands with fully as many as did the President, having apleasant word for every one. While this ‘was-going ou the Cleveland troops, the escort of President Garfield, arrived and took seats in the next car, to escort Mr. Hayes home, and a number of ladies who have been guests at the White House recently joined the . The special train left the depotat }'2“:?.? o’clock, gmhl the cheers of the assem- bled crowd. NOTES. MISOR ARRESTS. Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tyibune. WasaxGToN, D. C., March 5—There were ninety-seven arrests made Thursday by the police, and 108 yesterday, for various misde- meanors and assault cases. Sixty-seven ar- Tests were made by Lieut. Kelly’s men yes- terday in the Fifth-Precincet. But very few arrests were made of military visitors, only a fow having indulged rother too freely in bad Washington whisky. 3 . THE POST-OFFICE: furnished a curious illustration of the fact that the American people have their faces towards the rising sun. For the past two months the Presidential mail las been dwindling down. It amounted to but very little last week and the first two days of this week, To-day there was & decided reaction. The White-House mail-bags were packed. Applications for office and pecuniary aid come in every train. They were indexed by- -the clerks. THE LATE VICE-PRESIDENT, * AMr. Wheeler, left this morning for Ten- nessee, where he will spend some weeks visiting relatives. After that he will visit Florida, and in the spring he will go to Europe for perhaps two years. SWAMP LANDS. Tb the TWestern Assoclated Press, WasmINGTON, D, C., March 5—The Attor- ney-General has rendered’ an opinion in the matter of the claim of the State of 1ilinois to indemnity for swamp lands sold by the United States within six miles of the Illinvis Central Railroad, consisting of the sections reserved by the United States and required hy act of Septémber, of 1850, to be sold for not less than $3.50 per acre. In June, 1855, McClelland, then Secretary of the Interior, decided that the swamp graut did nottake effect upon these reserved lands, and his de- cision has since been followed by the Interior Department. Last June Secretary Schurz declined to disturb the accepted decision, and held that the revision of the statutes in 1874 made no change in the existing laws, such as would authorize & new construction to be placed upon the swamp grant. - Secre- tary Schurz also held that the decision of MecClelland must_be treated as res judieata. ‘Attorney-General Devens, in his ‘opinion, indorses Secretary Schurz’s conclusion, and also adopts his suggestion that if 1llinois has been deprived of any righttul benefit am- ple opportunity has been and still is afforded for un application to Congress for relief. TUE MILITARY. The city still partakes of its military char- acter, the streets being full of armed mili- tary organizations; some marching to depalts to take trains home, and others going to the White House to_compliment President Gar- ficld by a marching salute. ‘The departin, trains” have been crowded fo excess, an although many thousand visitors have gone, yet their presence is not missed from the i day is beautiful overhead, and miany urganizations which took part in yeslerdn&"s parade with de- pleted ranks are parading the avenue to-day with a full force of nen, preceded by bands of muste. JUDGE NUNT’S SUCCESSOR. Mr. Rogers, privata secretary to Mr. Hayes during his term, it is said. will be appointed to Hunt’s place on the Court of Claims. - DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS. The Democratic caucus this afternoon de- cided to confirm the Cabinet promptly, and to maintain the old organization of the Sen- ate. ‘I'he rule of promotion will be observed in_committees, and the vacant Chairman- ships, left by old Senators choosing better Chairmanships, will be filled h{lme new Sen- ators. The organization will be postponed until Monday. DEPARTMENTS CLOSED. The War and Navy Departments were closed at noon to-day. THE JUDICIART. M. Davis, of Illinols, will be Chairman of the Judiciary Committee of the Senete, as sarland, Lamar, and Bayard prefer to retain their present Chairmanships. This_ leaves JMr. Davis as Chairman 1n the order of prom- inence. ? ' THE INAUGURAL BALL last night was a completésuccess., Although not so many persons attended as anticipated, it is regarded as surpassing any similar one in the history of the Government. A DINNER . was glven by the Union Leagne Club of New York Clty to Vice-President Arthur. to-night. Senator Conkling was present as an invited guest. A RECEPTION was given to-night to the members of the Ohio Legislature, headed by_Goy. Foster, at the residence of Senator Pendleton. The reception was tendered jointly by the Ohio Senators, Shermanjand Pendleton. CONTROLLER KNOX to-day qualified as Commissionerof the Freed- man’s Bank & Trust Company, under the bill passed at the last session of Congress. The oftices of the thres present Commission- ers_expire from that date. ‘The Controller will, next Monday, send an examiner to look into the affairs of the bank. PRESS TALK. THE NEW YORK “ rost.” NEw York, March 5.—The Post says: “ The speculative markets at the Stock Ex- change were buoyant this afternoon on dis- patelies from Washington saying that Sen- ator Windom had been offered and accepted the position of Secretary of the Treasury. Senator Windom is regarded here as, to put it mildly, an expansionist, and the theory on which Wall street isacting is that he will turn adrift a good part of the coin in the Treasury by means of bond purchases. It may be that his views, when he has the re- sponsibilities of the office upon him, wili be more conservative than his record on the currency question leads speculators to ex- pect.” a NEW YORK ** COMMERCIAL The Commerclal says: “If the appoint ment of Windom to the Treasury iscon- firmed by later news, it may be taken for granted that the Western policy on the cur- rency. zold and silver coin, and debt-paying to the latest available dollar in the Treasury willrulein thie new Cabinet. Blainggwho is to be the Premier, is as much in favor of this policy as Windom himself, nor is the Presldent any other than a gold and silver man, and will soon prove a debt-paying in place’of a debt-refunding Executive. After the Cabinet was announced, so far as the Treasury is concerned, there was a bound in prices on the Stock Exchange, the counter- vgk?’f,me running down in the panic of last E Lndes NEW YORK **SUN.” The'Sun, after referring to each member of the mew Cabinet, says: “It is evident the Cabinet is- not of the Conkling stripe. The New York Senator gets only the husks. These are very wholesome fodder, but not as- Col. James appears on the surface to be a Conkling upoointment, but it _is understoo Blaine’s bosom friend, McPherson, of Penn- sylvania, is to be First-Assistant Postmaster- General, and to control the patronage iu Blaine’s interest. So the kernel of that ap- pointment will be eaten by the Secretary of State. We shall see. Give Gen. Garfield and the new Cabinet a fair show.” NEW YORK “*TIMES.” F The Tiimes says: *‘That Blaine’s presence in'the Cabinet will give lively satisfactionto Iarge body of active and earnest Republicans there can be no possible doubt. Windom’s selection as Secretary of _the Treasury will satisfy not only Republicans, — but also numerous - orgzanizations which are gradually hardening into a = Dariy, and _which, including — Greenbackers, Republicans, and Demoerats, have for prin- ciples the platform of the Anti-Monopoly League. Of James as Postmaster-Geveral, it is only necessary to say he is the right man in the rizht place. The appoiutment of Wayne MacVengh as Attorney-General has the double merit of being cvidence of the President’s approyal of the . best type of political independence and of his appreciation of - _pgenuine ability and ‘force of character. Kirkwood has a very respectable reécord, and need only imitate the independence of partisan inter- ference and untiagring industry of his pre- decessor to leave his Department in the same high state of efficiency and purity in which he finds it. Judge Hunt represents the highest type of native Southern Republican- is,—fearless, honest, and statesmanlike. Robert Lincoln inherits 8 name which the American people can Dever cease to rever- fattening as corn. { litter of .

It, however, regards the Cabinet as strong on personal qualities, and one that will compare Javorably with most of the official families of recent Presidents. James’ appointment, the Herald says, is one to be unre- servedly approved. Perhaps bevond any other man in the country he is fittest for the Post-Oflice. Commenting in a friendly tone upon the others, it takes exception to the ap- pointment of MacVeagh, *which, as a rec- ogniton of the Independents, is decidedly too small a tub for the size of the whale,” SPRINGFIELD ‘* REPUBLICAN.” RINGFIELD, Ma March 5.—The Re- publican says: “Garfield’s Cabinet is not as good as his inaugural.

Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune, Cryeixyatr, 0., March 5.—The Enquirer will say to-morrow that the make-up of the Cabinet is a case of great ingratitude to Foster, and exhibits Garfield as forzetting his friends; that the President has chosen Blaine as the overshadowing power and molding hand of his Cabinet. The Commercial will say that Garfield’s feat in making up the Cabinet is a great suc- cess; that, while he has avoided asserting himself strongly, he has taken care to secure a harmonizing make-yp, without giving pre- ponderance 1o any element of the party; that MacVeagh is a ring-smasher; ¢that Kirk- wood is a personal friend of the Pres has dent; that the choico of Lincoln pleases Logan; that the appointment of James makes . Garfield strong where Iayes was weak, and at the same time will please the country. Foster in the Cabi- net would have been necessary if the Presi- dent had personally required strong support, but Foster is, as he himself knows, most needed at the next Gubernatorial campaign in Ohio. As a whole, the Cabinet is a suc- cess, and does not lack strength for any occasion that mnay arise. ST. LOUTS “GLOBE-DEMOCRAT.” St. Lovs, March 5—The Globe-Democrat to-morrow will say editorially: *The new Cabinet which is announced this morning may not please all the politicians in the lana, but it will please the great body of the peo- ple, who will recoznize in it a list of public men_ selected for duties for which they are well fitted. It is not, perhaps, the Cabinet which Gen. Garfield would bave se- lected of his own notion, had le no friends to please and no warring elements to concil- iate. Indeed, if we are not greatly mis- taken, Mr. Blaine is the only simon-pure Garfigld selection of the seven. The others are the results of choice between rivals pre- sented by the party leaders. Thus it is easy to recognize the voice and influence of Sen- ator Logan in the appointment of Robert Lincoln, and it is not _difficult to see in the appointment of MacVeagh an ef- fort to_compromise between the Cameron and anti-Cameron factions in_Pennsylvania. The Postmaster-Generalship is given to New York and to Mr. James for sec- tional rensons also: It gives Mr. Conk- ling a friend near fthe throne, and it saves the New York Custon-House for_the machinations of the machinists. The Navy Department I8 given to Judge Hunt, of Louisiana for purely, sectional reasons. e presume it was necessary to gn’e the South a representative in the Cabinet, and, s the applicants were numerous, Gen. Gar- field went outside of the list presented to him_ and selected one whose itppoint: ment, while it might not create en- thusiasm, was mnot _liable’ to provoke dissatisfaction. The Treasury was given to Mr. Windom after the deeclination of Mr. Allison. It is not_known how this choice came to fall upon Mr. Windom, as he has never distinguished himself in connection with neinl matters, but the Treasury is an easy Department to manage now, and John Sherman will be close at” hand when needed.. Then we have the venerable Stalwart from Iowa, Mr. Kirkwood, for Secretary of the Interior. Heis the representative of the Granger ele- ment of the country. and goes Into the Cabi- net because Garfield thinks the farmer ought ot to be overlooked in the formation of oo Cabinet.” STEAMSHIP NEWS.

BALTIMORE, Md., March 5.—About 4 o’clock this afterncon a rumor reached this city that the special train over the Baltimore & Potomac Railroad, on which ex-President Hayes and party left Washington at 1 p.m., had collided with another train near Severn Station, abou} eleven miles from Baltimore. The rumor, which caused considerable ex-. citement, was quickly verified, and as usual the most exaggerated reports of the occur- rence were circulated. The factsin the case, as learned from a, gentleman who was a pas- sengeron the trajn, and ‘who arrived here to-night, are substantially as follows: The section of the10 a. m. train to which the ex- President’s cir was attached did not leave Washington until a few minutes before 1 o’clock, owing to a delay occasioned by the heavy travel on the road. At 1:15p.m., just after Mr. Hayes finished his luncheon, and when the train was rounding a curve near Severn Station, it collided with two engines going in the opposit direction, and bound from Baltimore to Washinzton. The terrific nature of the shock will be appre- ciated when it is stated that all three engines were GOING AT THE RATE OF FORTY MILES AN HOUR. The engines and three or four of the pas- senger-coaches were thrown from the track, and several cars telescoped, while the shrill hiss of escaping steam and cries of the wounded and affrighted passengers added to the. confusion. Almost every one on the train were thrown from their seats, and the next instant were scrambling wildly from the doors and windows before the crash of timbers had subsided. A rush was at once made for the front, and the full extent of the catastrophe quickly ascertained. - ‘Thetender of the passeuger engine was driven throngh the front of the first Pullman car, occupied by a special party from Shamokin, Pa.- This car in turn was crushed half way through the second, while on all sides were smoking and steaming masses of débris formed by the shattered engines, which were ALMOST COMPLETELY DEMOLISHED. ‘The first engine of the two bound for Wash- ington was twisted on one side, and had plowed the earth for yards. Amid the roar ot escaping steam the shrill cries of an un- fortunate victim could be heard, carrying a clnll to the hearts of all who first reached the head of the train. At first the where- abouts of the sufferer could not be ascertained, but finally it was found that he was under the corner of tha south- bound engine, half buried in the earth. By means of levers the vast mass of iron was slowly raised, and the crushed and blackened body was recognized as John Oliver, a bag- gagemaster of the road, who had been on cne of the two engines. To the surprise of all, the unfortunate man was conscious when drawn out, and moaned piteously for five or ten minutes before death ended his suffer- ings. His skull wads fractured, hisbreast crushed in, and THE BODY GROUND ALMOST TO A PULP. By this time all the male passengers had surrounded the wreek and gave active as- sistance to the train-men engaged in rescu- ing the victims, whose cries could be heard from beneath the ruins. . A faint moaning in the first Pullman car directed the efforts of the wrecking party in that direction, and, after tearing away the side, the body of Mr. J. Wayne Young, of Shamokin, Pa., was drawn forth. Life was extinct, and the dis- fizured remains were laid on a blanket in the snow while the party again turned their attention to the wreck. The following wounded were then successively rescued: Harry Freeburn, of Washington, engineer of the first south-bound engine, skull fractured and otherwise injured; probably fatal. d Joln M. Unglaub, of Baltimore, engineer of the passenger train, internally injured. D. D. Dorman, of Shamokin, Pa., badly in- jured about the head. . A. Weldy, of Tamaqua, across the forehead. J. A. Weaver, of Shamokin, Pa., scalp wound. . I 3L Orrin, Shamokin, Pa., wound. ; . Allen Jones, Shamokin, Pa., hand and arm crushed. © i John Russell, Shamokin, Pa., both hands cut. 4 D. S. Gilger, Shamokin, Pa., hand crushed. William Talbot, brakeman, badly bruised. John Roff, of Washineton, conductor, slightly bruised. As fast as the injured were removed they were first placed on improvised beds along the roadside, nnd afterwards removed to Severn Station, which was scarcely 200 yards from Pa., severe cut deep scalp Here two physicians, who were on thescene, and others from the surrounding country, were quickly at work alleviating as far as possible the sufferings of the wounded. In Alr. Hayes’ car, just before the accident, the incidents ot President Garfield’s inaugu- ration were under discussion, and the party generally were chatting and laughing. Those in the car were Mr. Hayes, his wife, and two sons, Mrs. Herron of Cincinnati, Mrs. Noble of Columbus, O., Mr. and Mrs. H. E. Roff of Toledo, Mrs. Bullock of Cincinnati, and D. V. Manly of Toledo. They were all thrown from their seats by the shock. Mrs. Herron was the onlyone hurt, being slightly bruised. Minnie, the colored servant ‘of Mrs. Ilayes, who was asleep on the sofa in the for- ward. compartment,” was thrown through the doorway into the centre uf. the saloon, and somewhat bruised. il Mit- BAYES' CHAIR SHOT FORWARD A FEW FEET, while Mr. Eélls, of Toledo, who was also in the car, was thrown against a table, but only slightly injured. As soon as the shock had passed Mr. Hayes sprung up, and, after as- certaining that none of his paty were injured, got off the train and ran to the front, where, St [ with his sons, e was active in assisting the . wounded. : b John Unglaub, of Baltimore, the engineer of the passenger train, stated that he saw the other engine as he rounded the curve, and at once reversed his engine. He could have jumpea off. but decided at the last moment to stick to bis post. When the shock came he was rendered partially unconscious. Aft- erwards he found himself half buried in the débris. He crawled from under the engine and then lost consciousness. Unglanb was badly bruised and cut, but strange to say escaped serious injury, although suffering intense pain. ‘The engineer expressed GREAT ANXIETY FQR THE SAFETY OF HIS PASSENGERS, and made several attempts to go to their as- - sistance. He was unable to stand, however, and bemg removed a short distance was kindly cared for by a numberof ladies, among whom was Mrs. Hayes. As the latter was at last compelled to leave the scene she pressed the hand of the engineer warmly, and with tears in her eyes thanked him for his bravery. : About half-past 8 a special wrecking-train from Baltimore reached the 5cene with a large force of men and Doctors Thompson, Atkinson, and Latimer, who at- once gave their assistanes in caring for the wounded. A special train bearing the ex-President and party reached Baltimoreat5p.m. All~of the party proceeded to the residence of Mr. S. M.

To the Western, Asociated Presti BArTnIORE, Md., Mareh 5—A collision occurred about 2 o'clock this afternoon at Severn Station, fourteen miles south of this city, on the Baltimore & Potomac Road, be- tween the second section of the fast train north, which left Washington at 1:10 p. m., and a _train of empty passenger-cars drawn_by two engines going south to Washington. The train = from Washington was - made up of four Pullinan _sleeping-cars next to the engine and tender,—the first of which was the special car chartered by J. Wyman Young, of Shamokia, Pa., containing the friends of Young and citizens of Shamokin and vicins ity.. ‘The next three contained the Cleveland City "I'roop, which was the special escort to Gen. Gartield from Cleveland to Washington, and was returning as < A SPECIAL ESCORT TO EX-PRESIDENT HAYES. The fifth coach contained ex-President liayes and family and friends. The sixth coach was the special car of James Mason, counsel of the Lalie Shore Road. and A. C. Armstrong, an officer of the same road, from Cleveland. It contained the familiesof these gentlemen and their friends, and was fullowed by a baggage-car. Next came the sgee:al car of Daniel P. Eells, President of the Ohio Central Road, and President of the Commercial Bank of Cleveland, in which were his family and friends. This coach was followed by a car containing twelve horses g( the Cleveland Troop, and made up the rain. ' AT THE TIME OF THE COLLISION the north-bdund train was going at rapid speed. Tha first Pullman car, which was the special car chartered by Young, of Shamo- kin, received the shock of the collision, and was partially telescoped into the second car, glqnmlnmg the members of - the Clevelond T00D.
