Impressions Created by the President’s Inaugural. — DISGUST OF THE MACHINE REPUBLICA’ Carpet-Baggers Dolorous, but Ex- peotant of Place, A BRACING POLITICAL ATMOSPHERE, The Latest Gossip About the New Cabinet FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT, Wasurxotoy, March §, 1877. THB INAUGURAL ADDRESS OF PRESIDENT HAYES—HOW IT 18 REGARDED ‘The tnaugural message was printed almost as soon ‘as 1s was spoken, and ‘was read with the grea! inter. est but with very diverse feelings by different classes of politicians The best men of doth parties— those who really desire the country to have rest.and peace and goed government—approved ft highly; they sald f% was o trank, straightforward document and read like the utterance of a sincere and bonest man. What the President says about the Southern question satisfied she best class of Southern democrats and all of both parties who desire the settie- ment of the Southern diMculties The Presi- dent’ evident belief in the virtue and necessity of local self government has at tracted much @ttention and commendation among thoughtful men of both partics and !s spoken of as one of the best parts of his message, because it shows they say a statesmanlike grasp of tho situation and comprohension of the dangerous course tn which we have boen running. The average republican politicians received the message rather coldiy; they say about it that they suppose a change {nm the southern policy ts necessary and that they are willing to give a new policy a trial if the Presidént wishes. As to Civil Service reform, they smilo amd say it is very easy to talk, but the President wilk see by and by. But even they are not inclined to oppose bim tn what they think to be his notions on this subject. He will have to ask the advice of Congressmen, thoy say, in filling vacancies which aro always occurring; a member of Congress, alter all, knows moro about tho pooplo of his district than any ono else, and Is the beat man to mako responsible. It would be a good thing, these men say, to break down the Senatorial patronage, which they think has becomo an abuse, but after all the President, they think, will soon Ond out what ts practicable, and thé¥e will be no such great chango. ‘The machine republican for bis part ts outraged in bis tenderest and holiest feclings, and says he “has no use for Hayes {tf he means what he says, We might as weil have a democratic President,” he adds, and thinks that the President will got himsetf into hot water if he does not take care, The machine republican 1s in deep disgust at the resident’s hard. ness of heart about delegations and cannot avoid expressing his surprise at the shabby treatment whi@b the Hartranft Club, tho bost dressed and most ornamental delegation which has quartered in Wasbington this spring, bas met. These Hartrant,s men have come to plead for Mr Don Cameron and they are 80 exasperated at their | evident failure that one of them ts reported to-night to have said the President might keep Don Cameron out for amonth or two, but they would make It too hot for anybody else to remain in the War Department but their favorite, The carpet-baggers are in a dolorous mood, but not entirely without hope. They have lost their dest friends, which makes them sad, They see that they must lose Louisiana and South Carolina, and perhaps a great deal more; but they moan to drivo a bargain, upon condition that they shall be taken caro of. Mr. Kellogg expects Mr: Packara himseif and # good many others to bo **taken caro of,’’ and, !n short, they hope to have other offices if they must give up those they have too long held. In one point the President seems curiously enough to have spoken the mind of almost all Northern re. publicans, and that is in the matter of a change in the Southern policy. It 1s surprising to hear how general jg the approval here just nuw of such a chunge. Statesmen who were supposed to have viewod with the greatest favor the maintenance of the Chamberlain and Packard governments are found to have of late studica this question deeply and to have come to precisely the President's conclusions, The carpet-baggers have lost many of their old and best friends within a few days, and go about im morning. On the whole thare is @ moro bracing atmosphere in Washington than tor somo time past, People talk as though they were returning to reason on several sub- jects. One hears that a resumption of specie pay- ments world be a good thing—and hears it in unexpected quarters—and there aro even people who confess that “the ‘best civil service on the planct” has been a little run into the ground and might be improved. How Jong it will last no one can tell, but for the present it looks as thougn virtue and good sense might even become fashionable here, which they have not been for some time. But there is more or jess growling in private, which is not annatural. A sudden and violent change in habits cannot be entirely pleasant, even if the change ts for the better, CABINET MAKING RBUMORS—FOOLISH STORIES ABOUT MR, SCHURZ CONTRADICTED—un.

ARRIVAL OF WILLIAM H. WELDEN AT HIS HOME IN PHILADELPHIA, PuLapELemia, March 5, 1877. Willtam Henry Weldon, who attempted the life of Mr. Packard at New Orleans, on the 15th of February, arrived in this city yesterday, accompanied by bis father, the Rev. C, F, Welden, the Lutheran minister im West Philadolphia, The Gev. Mr. Welden left for New Orleans three days after the news came of the shooting, and on his arrival was presented to Governor Packard, who listened to his appeals in behalf of the misguided young man with great kind- ness. Mr. Weldon speaks very gratefully of the Gov- ernor’s magnanimous treatment of his son and him- self, The young man was visited by the Governor’ own physician while in prison, and his wounds care- fully attended to, On Thursday last be was admitted to ball in $5,000, and at once permitted to accompany bis fathor home. Mr. Puckard stated that at fray he believed the assault upon him was premeditated and grew out of « conspiracy to murder him, for ho nad been warned the day before by mail that such an attempt was to be mado upon bis life within twenty-four hours. Judge Kelley, however, telegraphed trom Washing- ton that he knew Welden and his people well, and that the young mau, whatevor elso bis motives might havo been, was incapable of entering into a conspiracy to murder, ‘This telegram, together with Welden’s pro- vious good character, lod Governor Packard to believe that bis assailant wi nder the influence of liquor whon the assault was made, and not morally responsi- ble for bis actions, He was therofore disposed to be lJensent with Welden, and offered no resistance to his release ou bail; and it was furthor imtimated to the favber that neither the Governor vor any ono of the witnesses to the shooting would appear against bis son belore the Grau Jury. The Nicholls government, having no official knowledge of the crime against Wel- don, did not propose to interfore with iim. Young Weiden states that he leit tho employ of Pep- per & Co,, of Mobiio, just a week before the shooting, aud that be had been in New Oricans vut about twenty hours when it oceurred, Had not Governor Packard interfered in his behalf he thinks he would have been shot dead by atrendants after tho assault, “DESTRUCTIVE FIRE TWO WHOLESALE STORES DESTROYED—LOSS OVER HALF A MILLION DOLLARS.
