TRg ENDS oF TIE INAUGURATION BALL
TERRIBLE CeSE UsIoS, FETGHT, AND SUFFER-
1xG.--Ahout IL o'clock gentlemen began to
form into line, in order 10 give in their
checks and receive their Wrappings and
then the stupidity Of the management be-
came at once apparent. The numbers on
the checks ranged from unit to taco thou
sand, and the first man who presented him
self WAS obliged to wait until all The coats
could be looked Over, as the attendants did
not know where any particular number
could he found. BY II o'clock there was
q long line of gentlemen waiting in the
vain hope Of getting their coats, and as the
number increased, the confusion inside
grew worse. Piles of clothing were
knocked about, right and left; checks
were lost, and affairs assumed hope
less aspect. The impatient crowd at
last broke through the lines and filled
the narrow hall TO sufocation. Matters
bad by this time become serious, aud po-
lice we're stationed to prevent any more
coming in. Two men tainted, and were
dragged out, ami the din and uproar of an
rry, excited voices was deafening. Curses
load and deep we're heard on every side,
and at one time row was threatened.
Members OF the committee were sent for,
and the mode of giving out the garments
was changed. A policeman mounted a
chair, and the numbers of the coats inside
were called out, but matters were not in
tie least improved. Hundreds became
discouraged, and left with handkerchiefs
ted over their heads, and many of the
ladies' we're obliged to 20 out into the
sharp, frosty air with no protection from
the cold but their thin dress-skirts thrown
over their shoulders. In the ladies' cloak
rooms persons were allowed to select their
own garments. II consequence Of this ar
rargcment very common wrappings were
exchanged for elegant opcra-Cloaks, and
several ladies lost everything they had
placed i'll charge OF the attendants. Hun
trcds of ladies' waited hours for their
escorts, and as they were not informed Of
the reason Of the delay, their anxiety was
truly pitiahle. Several, overcome by ia
tiruc and fright, tainted away. Many per
sons waited from 4 o'clock until III the
morning, hoping to ind their clothing, and
daylight found anxious crowds stationed at
the doors Of the dressing -rcoms.-NatEona

ABOUT THE CABINET

WASHINGTON, March S, 1869.
ABOUT THE CABINET.
schofeld, Stewart, Washburne, and Cres-
well, were in conference with the Presi-
dent three hours. Washburne and Cres-
well accepted Cabinet appointments, and
entered upon the discharge Of their duties
to day.
Stewart cannot enter upon the duties Of
Secretary Of the Treasury, being disquali-
fed by a law forbidding any one engaged
in commercial trade from holding the Office
of Secretary Of the Treasury.
General Grants request, sent to the SEN
ate this afternoon, that the disqualification
be removed does not meet with the unquali-
fed support of Republicans. The law as it
now stands is good one, and special legis-
lation to remove the disabilities Of the
rich man, Stewart, as against this law,
does not meet with favor among those who
have the courage to think and speak for
themselves.
Delano, the new Commissioner Of Inter-
nal Revenue, will take possession of the
office next Monday. Buckley, Solicitor of
the Internal Revenue Bureau, has resigned.
Hartley, Assistant Secretary Of the Urea
sury, has been appointed acting secretary
until the new secretary shall be qualified

vate business and engagements are assign

my friend Dr.. Taylor, for short time In

provided the Indians by our Government,

together, and proceeded to put on the wear

teaching Mr.. 10 the uses and beauty Of
the inexpressibles, and for awhile the
savages strutted about proud as turkey
cocks. But in less than an hour the head
man OF the tribe, feeling uncomfortable
about that portion Of his person where the
legs end, you know, reached around with
his scalping-knife and cut out the seat Of
his breeches. The other Indians followed
suit, and the Government pantaloons pre-
