MIR. LINCoLNs CABINET.
Nothing is vet settled as TO the Cabinet since
Mr.. Lincoln came here. Reports favor Gideon
WeIes, Winter Davis, and Caleb Smith. Two
days more win probably end al doubts.
THE COMPROMISES.
Tbasyolunteer Convention, irreveren,ly styled
"the onk.hOrse Congress" is expected to wind
up tomorrow.
The other Congress will hardly accept lis con-
illusions.
THE PRESIDENT ELECT.
Mr. Seward to-day took the President elect
into the Senate and introduced him TO the Re-
publican Senators. He then proposed to do like
wise TO the Democrats, but Andrew johnson
was the only Southern one who acceded. Viz
ginia Mason pOintedly declined. In the House
there was more Democratic cordially, but il
came very slowly.
WASHINGTON, Feb. Is, 1861.
THE RowDYIsM AT BALTIMORE.
The lawless and insulting demonstration made
on the arrival Of the train at Baltimore, by
which Mr.. Lincoln was expected, is regarded
here as a sufficient justification Of the course
taken by his friends in bringing him to Wash
ingtOn unknown to the rOwdes and rioters Of
that city. 1t is admitted that the train was at
once beset on its arrival at Baltimore, and the
tops and platforms Of the cars instantly covered
by screaming, hooting, yelling crew, bent Ger.
tsinly upon insult and obstruction, probably upon
and, perhaps, upon assassination. The
spectacle, even as described in the Baltimore
papers, tends very much to abate the condemna-
ton which many were at first inclined to be-
stow upon Mr.. LncOlns advisers for changing
bis original programme. 1t was perfectly com
petent for a mob Of 5000 people to have held
Mr.. Lincoln at bay for six hours, subjected TO
whatever indignity and violence they chose to
bestow, and it is but too evident that no efficient
means were taken by the authorities 10 prevent
such disgrace, however he might have been
saved from the bullet or dirk of the assassin.
The conviction thus gains ground in Washington
hat the wisest course was TAKEN though it was
wholly against Mr.. Lincoln's will. }. s.. p.
