exasperated Douglas who at the termina-
ton of the caucus assaulted Lamar with
such vituperation that but for the interven-

have shot him.
A STATE DINNER
The president and Mrs. Grant gave a
state dinner last evening in honor of presi-
dent elect and Mrs. Hayes. Vice president
Wheeler was also present.
EyARrs.
II is learned from the highest authority
that the president-elect has decided to
offer to VIM. NJ. Evart thu position Of sec-
rotary of state.
CAMERON.
1t can also be stated with certainty that
Don Cameron will not be retained as Sec
rotary of war. 1t is now practically de-
cided that Pennsylvania will not be repre-
sented IN the cabinet at all.
MAINE IN THE CABINET.
In view of the positive determination of
Eugene. Hale not TO accept position, it is
intimated that Blaine can still name ono
member of the cabinet, and his choice is
between Secretary Morrill, and Representa-
tive Frye. If the formers health will per-
init he will probably be offered the navy
department.
THE SOUTH.
1t is stated that the president. elect is
considerably troubled in the selection of
two members from the south. He Is GER
tain it will be next to impossible to satisfy
the discordant elements In that section,
therefore he has determined to select the
best representative men that can be found,
regardless of their former politics.
THE CABINET.
President Hayes hopes to have the
names of members of the cabinet ready to
send In on Tuesday or Wednesday of next
week.
LOUISIANA RETURNING BOARD.
The sergeant alarms of the house is
compelled to make return to the United
States district court here-Chief Justice
Carter-of the bodies of the members of
the Louisiana returning board, under a
writ of habeas corpus. The object of the
writ Is to determine the power Of the house
of representatives to order the board in
custody.
NONRESIDENT ELECT.
William A. Wheeler, vice-presldent elect,
has arrived here. He says he knows moth
ing whatever OF Hayes's policy or who his
cabinet win be, and added that 1t would be
an impertinence for him to pass any opin-
ion upon the subject.
THE TILDRN CAMPAIGN.
The Tilden campaign was finally ended
near midnigh. Friday night by the refusal
of the house to pass Fields quo warranto
bill. Tilden will therefore bring no sui,
for the presidency, and Field will have nc
presidential client. Martin l. Townsend
made severe thrust at Field in a little
speech against the bill. Mr.. Townsend said
if Tilden should bring suit and Field be
counsel, 1t would authorize him (Field) to
bring it even in the United States district
court of California, even before his own
brother, Justice Field, one of the seven
partisan democratic members of the elector.
al commission. In that event, said Mr..
Townsend, what chance would Tild er
have? The Field bill required two-thirdf
vote for its passage. 1t got only sixty-six,
much less than majority. Many demo.
Gratis voted against it; more declined tc
vote, unless the democrats recede from
their position on the army bill.
EXTRA sRssio ON.
An extra session seems inevitable. The
senate will never submit to the outrageous
provisions respecting the use of troops, Oh
the proposed infringement upon the consti
tutional rights of the executive.
THE APPROPRIATIONS.
All the general appropriation bills excep
the army bill and the river and harbor bill
have passed. As to the latter there is how
ever large surplus from last year, ant
therefore no improvement actually leedet
will suffer owing TO the non passage of tn,
bill. With regard 10 the army bill the for

of certainty.

TILDEN REPORTED COMING.
A rumor prevailed to-day that there Is
probability of Tilden arriving here to
morrow.
