MR.. LINCoLN's CABINET.
While the atmosphere is charged with rumOrs
concerning the composition of the Cabinet 1t
nav be confidently stated that no other selections
have been made than those already announced
.uthoritatively. There is an immense outside
,rsssure, and Cabinets are constructed to order
hv newsmongers and Office seekers. Mr..
Mcchre aud that set at Harrisburg who OPP
,ossd Mr.. Cameron, have caved in as it was ex-
-,s.tea they would do. Mr.. Lincoln hears pa
S;enpy the representations of all sides, and is
ouite philosophical and delphic in his replies.
He has already earned the reputation of being
GOOD listener. The only Southern man yet seri-
ously considered, in connection with the Cabinet,
Il Mr. Gilmer, and hs received an informal in
fimstioa more than q month ago. Others have
been proposed bat until the Treasury Depart
mont "a disposed OF, no selection viii be finally
made.
TIE COMPROMISES.
Tbe Peace Convention had two sessions yes
ferday, aud occupied most of them in discussion
under the ten minutes rule. Mr.. Seldom of Vir-
GINA offered a proposition to distribute the
Federal Offices equally between tho North and
South, on the ground that public patronage
was one of the causes of sectional alienation.
Mr.. Tyler supported it in an elaborate speech,
the Convention extending the time in his favor.
1t was defeated-6 Yeas against Is Nays.
The Missouri Compromise, pure and simple,
was offered as substitute for the first section
of Mr.. Guthrie's plan, and voted down without
ceremony.
Mr.. Franklin's substitute for the same article
modified in several of its phrases, was, after
ome debate, adopted by ii to 6.
Tie Convention then proceeded to consider the
second article of Mr.. Guthre's plan, prescribing
the mode in which territory shall be hereafter
acquired. Mr. Summers of Virginia, spoke upon
1t at the hour of adjournment.
BOtt sets Of delegates from Kansas, appointed
by the Territorial and State Governors, were
admitted to seats. The impression now prevails
chat this Convention will pass Mr.. Franklin's
amendment substantially as the basis for the ter
ritorial settlement. Mr.. Guthrie and other lead
ing Southern men express their Willingness to ac-
eept it. and to yield their own views.
Much interest is felt concerning the course Of
0ke Illinois Commissioners, as TIE vote of that
Btate will be considered significant of the wishes
OF Mr.. Lincoln. At present they stand, MesSrs.
Logan and Palmer for Compromise, Messrs.
Wood and Cook against it, and Mr. Turner un-
determined.
TIE LOAN.
The bids for the loan of IS OOO, 900 yesterday
astonished the conspirators who had combined 10
destroy the public credit and break down the iDcOm
ing Administration. Fourteen millions were offer
cd averaging more than 80, which was a frac-
zion above the expectation announced In my dis
patches week ago. The belief that the Gov.
ernmeBt is to be administered wisely has already
inspired sense of confidence. In ninety days
public securities viii advance more rapidly than
from any former depression.
THE TARIFF.
The vote and agreement Oh the tariff in the
House yesterday indicates its passage tomorrow
without much difficulty. 1t may be sent to
conference Committee by the refusal To concur
In the Senate Amendment for tea and coffee and
Ssme others. That result will, however, depend
npOn further developments. If the bill is in any
way to be jeOparded by delay, it viii be &C.
cepted as it now stands.
Mr.. Breckenridge called on Mr. Lincoln to-
night.
Mr.. Kellogg of Michigan made strong Anti
Compromise speech last night.
