Ho will be conveyed by special train te Wheatlend by the Northern Central Railroad Company. Be with bo escorted home from Baltimore by the Balti ‘wore City Guards. ‘The force bills of Mr. Bingham, for the collection of the Tevenue, and of Mr. Stantom for the calling forth of the militia are inevitably lost.

Appropriation bills not signed as yet:—Indian, Civil, Ex- peases and Army. Tho President having decided not to Sign any private bill passed on the day of adjournment, ‘will throw out a few bills on private calendar. There 1s a powerful effort boing made by friends of the Oregon and Washington Territory War Debt Dill to fmduce the President to sign it. It is very doubtful whether ho will sign it. His Cabinet are nearly all averse to it. Mr. Holt made a strong argument against it. The office seekers from Now York have all arrived, and already it is apparont that thoro is to be a fearful strug- gie for tho Coilectorship, Surveyor, Naval Officer and Postmastership. It is thought that Mr. Seward wil) eontro! a majority of these important appointments. THIRTY-SISTH CONGRESS. GuOOND GESRION. Senate. Wasinetox, March 3, 1861. ‘There was an immense crowd in the galieries and a large crewd on the floor. The doorways and halle wero fall of people, and many have been obliged to go away. The noise is like that of an immense bee hive. Mr. Brier, (opp.) of Ind., in the chair, called the Renate to order, and the Clerk read the forty eighth rule and a dark stream of humanity poured out of the doors ‘antil the floor was cloared, Thore were loud cries in the galleries of “Stand back,” and the confusion was great. Mr. Scawver, (rep.) of Mass , presented a memorial of 6,000 citizens of Massachusetts against any compromise rae. He said there wore more coming, signed by beard Mr. Boas, (opp.) of N.

Mr. Doves moved to clear all the galleries. He said they wore trying to get @ voto on the amendmenta to the constitution, but objections were made on the other side, while there was mob in the gallery friends of those who object. Mr. Kino, (rop.) of N. ¥., called him to order, and said he had no right to retioct on the motives of others. Mr. Dovc.as said he waa stating facts. The motion to clear the galleries was carried; but order ‘was reetored so much that the motion was withdrawn.

But talk about the government making war,the seceding States have commenced the war, and have ‘the efrontery to say to the United states, ‘Don’t defend yourselves; let us do as we , olse wo will have war.” He could not think it ible that this great go- vernment woul! break up in this way, and he would on hie Southern brethren to panse and consider we hear the inaugural of the Prosident, which, ed, would briathe a spirit of kindness toward tl th ug well as the North, and express the determination that no encroachment shall be mace on the rights of any one. Mr, Baxer spoke at some length, defending his own po- Pore ahs at dete the Peace Conference pro- Lione. or Dovetss said he should not reply to the speech of hia colleague, which related to his own course. He had replied to that six years ago, when be firat made it, and sevoral times since; but rose to appeal to the Senate to vote on the various questions. Mr. Doourns proposed to modify the amendment. Ho offered simply togmake ehortor, but not alter the sense of tho amendment. aad Proposition was disagreed to. Yeas 18, nays ic. BovanaM offered an amondment as a substitute, tho game as Mr. Clark's, once before offered to the Crit- wonden resolutions, but subsequently withdrew it. The question was then on Mr. Pagh’s amendment, which is to substitute the Crittenden resolution. Mr. Cumeuan eaid if the amendment was adopted, though not touched by the House, it would have a effect on the country Mr. Bioren explained that he was in favor of the Crit- tenden resolutions, but he wanted a separate yoto on each proposition, Mr. Dove.as said if it were adopted it would prevent States ever abolishing slavery at all. Mr. Mason characterized the resolutions from the Bouse as delusive to the South, and spoke at eome — against them. Giacunaion was continued some time between Meaers. Mazon, Dou and Pugh. Mr. Mons. raid ho had been unconcerned for the last hour in the discuamion going on, but when the honorable Senator from {ilinois shakes his head wm this quarter I bavo a right tb object. Wo aro standing at the end of six yeare’ terrible agitation, and all comes from thie tri- fling administration of hoad pills, and is to ond now in a dis- wlation of the Union; and yet gentlemen propose to go on in the same practice. A new policy began six years ago on the slavery question. The Southern States united upon {t because democratic, and seven of those States are out of the Union; and gentlemen stand and wrangle and throaten oxposure to the country if we don’t swallow moro of these new nostrums. This policy began im 1846 and culminated in 1901, taking six States out of the Union; and we on this eide of the chamber aro to be charged with a disgotution of the Union. Bot what have these Seuators, or those = represent, done? No body of men mt the North belioves that Congross haa a right to interfere, and yet we are called upon to do what nobody believes we can do. No party in the North entertains a; ot ard ofa crusade against slavery in the States. He referred to the specch of the Sonator from Kentucky, who says the whole difficulty was in ro- gard to the Territory of New Mexico. If that be so then there is really no diifeulty. But here is a proposition to amend the constitution, and which is to incorporate inva that instrument a recognition of slavery, and it is that ogainst which Senators protest. He referred to the fact that Virginia sont an ultimatum, and then armed hersctf for the purpose of armed intervention betwoen the go- vornment and tho States in rebellion, and argued that un- der such circumstances Senators ought not to present propositions here for our acceptance. He contended that the attitude of Virginia was an act of na . Mr. Wane eaid he bad once stated his ition, and ho had to say he was of the samo opinion. Ho said ‘he bad herrd of revolutions, but the it One waa an extraor- dinary one. It was rebellion inst the best govern ment in the world. Nothing in world ever instituted such rebellion except the accursed in@itution which thoy new sought to extend.

Wasnincron, March 8, 1861. ‘The arrangements for the ceremonies of inauguration are progressing felicitounly. As so far determined, at ten o'clock the procession will be formed in front of tho White House, where President Buchanan will take a seat im an open barovobe, which, preceded by a mili- tary escort, will proceed to Willard’s Ho- tel, where Mr. Lincoln will take a seat beside the President. Senators Foet and Baker, members of the Committeo of Arrangements, will here alao take places in the Presidential berouche. The procession will then proceed substantialty in the following order-— Escort of District military. Carriage containing thirty-four young ladies attired in white, each carrying an American flag, with the coat of ‘arms of the several States, A fall corps of United States sappers and miners. Presidential cortege, fankod by the Marehal of the Dis- trict and aida on the right; on the left, by the Marshal of the procession and aids, ten in number. Then follow the Presidential suite, such as the Presi- demt elect may invite, in carriages, and £0 on, according to the publishea programme. Extensive preparations have been mede to prevent the interruption of the procession at any point, and a ten- porary fence bas been placed around the space immo. diately in front of the platform from which the Prosdent ‘will deliver his Inaugural, in ordor to prevent a erush. To guard against surprise, an enclosed avenno of stout boards has been constructed from the point where the President elect will leave his carriage until he pagses into the Capitol—a distance of about one hun- dred fect, A cotton umbrella would have served @ simi- lar purpose twelve years ago, when General Taylor was inaugurated, if the rain had been too hard. The weather promises to be glorious, and the dieplay will probably be the most imposing ever seen in the na- tional capital. ‘There are at least five thousand persons who ascert Moet positively that they havo seen President Linceln’s Inangura), and that it is in all respects sound. No one except his Cublnct has seen it or knows what it contains. One thing is pretty certain, 1s will not be On- ishod entire before to-morrow. It has boon submitted im part to members of his Cubinet known to be on tho slate. He i@ trying to make it satisfactory and accept- able to the conservatives; but, mark my prediction, it will fa! essentially in sovoral important particulars in this respect. It will be high toned and conservative in one reapect; that is, in reference to interference by the incoming administration with slavery in the States aad the District of Columbia. But upon the vital question, the one upon which the peace and happiness of the country :s at stake, it will be sadly dof cient. It will denouuce seoossion aad squint strongly at coercion, matmtaining that the laws must bo executed, the property of tho United States protected, South aa well ag North, and that the revenues must be collected. This is all that most radical republicans expect him to say, and it will be sufficient to precipitate the border alave Btates into revolution, which wil) find them embracing their brethren of the cotton States in less than sixty days. So say ai) the conservative Union men of Virginia, Mary land, Tennesse, North Oarolina and Kentucky now hero. ‘The ext ten days will determine the question of peace or war; the most fearful of ail ware—civil war. Tho radicals ray, ‘Let it come; we will wipe out and destroy slavery in less than five years in the border States in the event of a collision between the sections.” This is evi dently what the radicals aro alming at. Ho will rocom- mend a Nationa! Convention. This is as far aa he will go towards opposing the South, except to assure them that his policy will be none other than friendly and concilia, tory, acting on the defensive rather than the aggressive, In a word, he intends to be conciliatory, but firm. The inangura) wil) not be deltvered to the pross until Mr, Lincoln begins to read it, whoa, by his own direc tion, a copy propared for that purpose will be delivored to tho Agent of the Asaociated Press for immediate trans- mission over the #iros, and another copy will be eubmitted to the Washington papers. Tho inaugural will contain about three thousand words, and will occupy baif an hour in delivery. It will be @ bold, outspoken State paper. Mr. Lincoln will indicate that ho will, upon entoring on his duties, take a solemn oath to do this, and bo will not vielate that sacred obligation. Ho takes the ground that as ho was constitutionally olected Prosident of tho evtire confederacy, he intends to be President of he whole and not a part of the Union. 1s te stated in Prosidontial circles that Mr. Lincoln will inangurate a new ayatom in rogard to Cabinet consulta- tions, Heretofore it has been tho custom of the Prosi- dent to be governed, to a groat extent, by the opinions of tho mombera of the Cabinot, aa shown by their voter; but Mr. Lincoln has plainly intimated that under bie ad- ministration no votes will be taken in tho Cabinet, and that ho will, atter having consulted with it, take the ro- sponsibility of carrying out bis line of policy irrospective of their opinions, The Cabinet, bo says, must be a unit, and, if porsible, he will descend to the dotaila of every department to carry out his moasures. Ho takes Jack- son for his model, and wo may expect lively times before the Cabinet is warm in their seats if he carries out hie crude Meas, ‘The jam at the hotels continuo, Willard to-day dined fifteon hundred; Nationalgone thousand; Brown’s, fvo hundred; Kirkwood’s, threa hundred; Clay’s, three bun- dred; Clarendon, three hundred; Washington Hotel, threo bundrod. But notwithetanding there unuaual numbers, thoy are in somo instances not more than half so largoas on the occasion of Buchanan’a inauguration. An intimate friend of Mr, Lincoln asked him who will bo Secretary of the Troasury? Ho promptly answored— ‘to-morrow, at noon, I will bo President,” with marked emphasis on the pronoun. Tho Cabinet stands to-night the samo as yosterday, 80 far ng the men are Concerned. But the positions aro not ail settiod upon. Mr. Seward for State; Chase, Trea- sury; Cameron, War; Welles, Navy, aro fixed; but it is not certain what departmonta will be assigned to Blair, mith and Bates, Thero is somo talk to-night of making Blair Attorney General, and giving the Post Office to Baton, leaving the Interior for Smith. Senator Seward baa taken for four years tho Washing ton Club House, directly opposite the White Houne, en Lafayette square, for his private residence, It has boon closed ninco the Sickles tragody, but will now be reiitted for tho ImmediatS occupancy of the now Secretary of Btato. ‘Tho inundation of Northorn politicians continues un abated, No lewm than twenty-seven Governors and ex- Governors, and ex-Senators and ox-Congreasmen without ‘number, are now hero. The hotels and lodgings houses aro crowded to suffocation, and a general budiing up bas become necessary. ‘Tho amount of tondylam exhibited at Willard’s to the Presidential family and suite is fairly sickeniug. Mr. Lircoly himself continues unaffected by the disgusting sorvility and sycophancy showered upon him, But some of those that came with him aro swelling with oonosit at a fearful rate, A number of your City Fathers aro in tho oity distin guiabing themselves on the strests and in barroome by thoir i} manners. The Now Yorkers propose to march ina dody In tho procession to-morrow, under the mar. | shalsbip of Gavitt, of the Wide awakes, They wil) tara out about Aye hundred strony. Wasiarero, March 3, 1862, ¥t eourrently reporied and generally believed thie evening, that the slate has been broken, and that there is. to be a reconstruction of the (Cabinet, Chase, it is said, having been offered the Socretaryship of tho Treasury, bas declined it. Iam unable to corroborate this state- ment, One thing is certain, Greeley is very much ex- cited, and it 1p suspected that the philesophic Horace has been evebred. To-morrow will decide this matter. How. Gideon Welles has arrived, and ali the other gen- tlemen named in connection with Mr. Lincoin’s Cabinet | are in Washington, nameiy:—Mossrs. Goward, Chase, Batea, Smith of Indiana, Cumeron and Blair. The rela- tive cast of positions, howover, with regard to some of them Is a mero matter of speculation. A pumber of conservatrve members of tho Virginie Convention have arrivod here, thoir object being to gain information touching tho positive state of affuirs, and to report the same to that body. Thoy are not éncouraged to the extent that they anticipated. They roturm to Richmond to-morrow, The hotel parlors were again prognant today with rumers of changes Me@o complexion of the Cabinet. Thelt origin, howevor;pould be easily traced to gossiping speculation, Some iting of positions may possibly take place before to morrow noon, in consequence of energetic remonstrances againat Mr. Blafr’s appointment, made by conservatives from the border States last night anéthis morning. But the inside appearance of matters tonight renders a farther chango altogether improbable. I ie bard to find either s radical or a conservative ro- publican satisfied with the composition of the Cabinet; nebedy hasemy confidence in its harmonious working. Blair seems to be the mont objectionable feature. The admirers of Cagsius M. Clay are cepeciailly chagrined at his preferenvee to their favorite. ‘Mr. Chare’s acceptance of tho Treasury is pronounced the gravest mistake of his political career by bin beat friends. They beliove that ho will come out of the Cabinet a dead man. Opkyde rejoices at the prospect of a coutrol of tho Custom House patrouage and your eity through him. ‘Simeon Draper bas withdrawn his name for the collec-- torship, and tho principal contestants are Hiram Barney and Joe Hoxie. The knowing once assert the appomt ment will be given to one of theao gontlemen. The Re- publican Btate Central Committoe, a majority of whom aro here, have a meeting to-night to decide botween these two gentlemen. Justice to Mr. Lincoln requires the statement that he desired tosee Mr. Chase among hia constitutional ad- viners from the very start. Robert ©. Schenck is expected to bo preesed as Mr. |. Chave’s successor by the conservative republicans, and voted for by the democratic members ef the Ohio Legis- lature. ‘Thcro 1s pome street talk of a contemplated interrup tion of the inaugural ceremonies by Baltimore rewdies, It seems to be grounded on apprehensions rather than facts. Mr. Lincoin is in excellent bealth and good spirits, Secretary Dix called this ovoning and paid his reapects te Mr. and Mre. Lincoln, The Secrotary did net call with tho rest of the Cabinet, some evenings sinco, on ‘account of important official business. Mr. and Mra. Lapeoln would be overrun with callers day and night if they wouki submit to such tiresome ovations. Mrs. Lincoln, who is fast winning the hoarts of all who call upon her, on account of her exceedingly pleasant and sociable nature, which is blended with a grace and dig- nity of manner seldom combined, beara tho fatigue of her new porition with becoming patience. Mrs. Lincoln and ‘Mrs. Hamlin are atiended by several of their personal friends. Mr. Lincoln will give his firet public reception at the White House op Friday evening next. This evening a delegation of six South Carolinians called upon Mr. Lin- coln to pay their respects, They aro oppwved to socoa- sion, but are obliged to submit to it, being citizens of Lincoln received them very kindly, sa; just the kind of poopie ho wanted to talk with. Upon yotiring the gentlemen expressed their gratitication at the interview, ‘Tho important post of Private Socretary to tho Pres’ dent will probably be assigned to Col. Ward H. Lamon” formerly law partner of Mr. Lincoln, if he can be in duced to take it. Col. Lamon is an accomplished gentle man, of dignified bearing, and is an able, practical business man, who, by the arduous and complicated du- ties be has performed since his arrival nere, has shown that he combines the rare qualities necessary to become equal to the nice and varied duties of the Prosident’s Pri- vate Secretary. The pressure against Chase grows bourly more and more intense, Weed was about leaving the city in dis- gust, when, after an interview with Lineola, he booame absolutely happy snd smiled serenely. Rumors ata late hour this ovening are to the etfect that Sherman, after all, will be substituted for Clase; and if the latter chooses to be Linooin’s friend, he can serve him as well in tho Senate aa in the Cabinot. The ro- publicans aver that an oppositionist will be elected to the Senate from Ohio if Chase's frienar persiat in his occupy- ing a Cabinet position to the sacrifice of Sherman. Mr. Crittenden has just Gnished a powerful appeal to Senators in bebalf of bis poaco measures. Trumbull is now following him in a most ultra and uncompromising speech againat any compromise. Whon interrogated by Wigfall as to what the policy of the incoming adminis- travion would bo rerpocting the forts, he indicated clearly that it would be to recapture them. This declaration produced considerable sensation among Southern Sens- tore. Wastaxcror, March 2—12 P. M. Thero in considerable oxcitement in the city tonight consequent upon the report, the truth of which I have ro doubt, that Colonel Lee, aid to Gonoral Scott, haa this evening resigned his commiseion inthe army. Tle is a Virginian, and it i said hag acted upon assurances from his State that she will secede, ramors t which offect have reached hero from Richmond. ‘The most alarming fact about thie sction of Colonel Leo’s, is that he has been the confidential friend and adviser of General Scott, and ia consequently in posses sion of all of his secret military movements. A Cabi- net meoting was hold this evening. Tt @ said with special reference to tho resignation of Colone! Lee, and a reported discovery of a plot on the part of a gang of desperate mon now bere from Baltimore and different parts of Virginia to surprise and take tho battery on Judiciary equare and spike the guns. That there jaa large number of evil disposed persons in the city, there is no doubt bat troops are on the alert and caunot bo surprised nor taken by forty times the numbor of deg- peradoer now in thecity. The feoling tonight in high official circles is, that war wil; soon follow the inaugura- tion of Mr. Lincolm, so sure is every one that Mr. Lincoln ‘will not compromise with traitors. Besides, thore ls a strong belief that Virginia has boen determined to sooode and has been playing a big game of bluff. THE PLOT AND THER INTERFERENCE OF THE NEW YORK POLICE.
