Mir. BANCROFT IN THE CABINET.-"Mr. Ban- croh, tn ehisoran of our country, is, it appesrs to take seat in the cabinet. Al the moment ~hen we write. the statement comes in shape more au- thentic than ru,n0i. We trust 1t may be true. Mir. Bancroft has shown ability whenever he has been m public station; even he has displayed ge nus which does his country honor, in his more se- cluded labors as an author. He IS destined, doubt- less, to u brilliant career statesman. There is an edge on his mind To cIt through the difficulties of active life as deft as divides truth from in speculation. or all the New England men, not one could have been selected for the Cabinet whose ele- vation would ha, been either iitable acceptable to to the county than that of MT. Ban- croft"
 The above notice comes to US in the New York New World-a paper which, il not strictly indepen- dent is still not in favor of the present admnstra ton, and it's principles. The remarks on Mir. Bah- croft, though euogistc, are just; and show, taken in connection with the expressions of opinisn from other sources, strictly local, that the cOnfrma- ton of MT. Bancroft a cabinet officer, would be no local or partisan triumph, but would be accepa- be wherever talents and genius respected. IL IS be eved indeed, that the temporary opposition en- counered by the nominee, and over which he IS des. tined 10 triumph, has its origin m tie narrow-mind- ed jealousy of northern power and influence felt by certain representatives of southern interests. The same opposition, from the same source, would prob ably the path of any independent member of the northern democracy; but it would be fruitless, for it will be concealed, reflection, by all, that New Engla must and will have a representative in the councils of the nation; and since that repre- sentative must be democrat, who more fitting for office than one who has reputation mYre extended than that of partisan-whose name is destin- ed to live the historian of his country's greatness -and whose general abilities are very lar above medIocrity? Few will have the hardihood to deny that Mir. Bancroft will make very able officer. To one whose associations are not purely political, who mixes much with the world. and is familiar with the outdoor opinions of common men, it must he evident that, candidate for office, Mir. Bancroft will be acceptable as any citizen of this section of the confederacy likely to receive an appointment in any event.

We have copied some OF the prominent de-
tails OF this imposing spectacle from The Globe.

before been crowded into This Metropolitan "Cily

NASHlSGTOS, WATCH y, 1919.
As there is some doubt as TO whether the Post
Office bill was signed BY the President, enquired
atlhe Capitol this morning, and find that his sig
nature was attached. 1t was the harbor and river
bill only that he pockeled.
The festivities of the fourth were not conclu-
ded until this morning. Last evening the Hea-
vens were illuminated by a most brilliant display
OF fireworks from Capitol Hill. Both the Inau-
s~uration Balls were well attended, as YOU will
admit when ! inform you that upwards of
nine hundred ladies and gentlemen were present
al The "ten dollars a ticket" Entertainment
This was e%clipsed, however, by the one at five
dollars a ticket-for that was honored with the
presence Of upwards Of three thousand ladies
and gentlemen, and in the way OF magnificent de-
coraiion, abundant and delightful supper, and
every Thing else which could contribute TO the
comfort and delight Of the entire company, could
not be excelled. At each OF them there was e1-
perienced a season of social JOY and gaieiy not
soon TO be forgotten. President Polk visited both
the entertainments, was received with the highest
honors, and contributed in a very great degree 10
the general qualification. Every thing passed of
delightfully."-.
