WASHINGTON. Feb. 22.-Last night Senator sher-
man left here for Columbus to confer with Gov.
HAYES Whether this was on his own motion or at
the request of the latter is only matter OF sur
mise IL is understood that he will accompany the
Presidentelect on his trip to the capital, and that
the party which will include few personal friends
of Gov Hayes, will leave Columbus on Thursday OF
next week. The current opinion is that Gov. Hayes
telegraphed TO Mr. Sherman to come on and advise
him about his Cabinet appointments, and that the
Ohio Senator is going to perform similar service
in launching the new Administration to that rem
dcred by Elihu b. Nashburne after Cen 6rants
inauguration Scarcely any doubt Is expressed that
Mr.. sherman Will have the Treasury Department II
he prefers il to his seat in the Senate. should ne
accept it his successor would probably be Gen.
Garfield.
Comment as 10 the composition Of the Cabinet
shows very few new features. The Pennsylvania men
savtuatifther state Is to have representative, Cow
Hlrtrluft will be strongly pressed, and that be VIII
receive the support Of the Cameron influence, WITH
ont mourning the determined opposition OF the
strong ant-C ameron element in the party. He
woald of course be given the war portfolio II any.
carl Schurz is down on the books of all Cabinet
makers for either a department or a hrst-ciaSS
foreign mission. Among the conservative southern
mon of Wing aEtecedents, who are mentioned as
available in ease the south should be given repre-
scntation is Herschcl V. johnson of Georgia, who
has been upon tile bench for some years past and

HAYES will 90 in making up his Cabinet Is to pro-
vide for Senator Morton exercising that influence IN
the Administration which he will no doubt think Is

rbe situation PostmastcT-General Iyuer VINO IS
his present representative, viii have to 90 out with
tbo rest. There is no Indiana man Of sufficient
prominence to take his place except Gen. Benjamin
Harrison. but he belongs TO a class OF Republicans
That Mr.. Morton does not cordially Ike. The re-
mari, il mad. in this connection, that as Indiana
went Democratic when she was thought 10 be me
pivotal State last October, it would be becomlngy
modest in the Republicans Of that state TO make no
clam to a Cabinet position.
Within the past few days large number OF IN
auential Republicans have arrived here from all
parts Of the country, and almost every tram that
comes in adds 10 the number. These gentlemen
have come on lust to see the inaugural on" as
they fell their friends; but their names are az
op,e connected in the gossip of the capital with
foroion missions collectOrships, po,tmasteTshlps'
and other Offices it Is suspected that they VIII not

in political euphemsa if the good things Oh ONCE
