dentand his friendsa as to the formation
of the Cabinet had not up to | O'Clock
resulted in n conclusion. william
Evarts has been appointed Secretary
of State and Senator Sherman Secre-
tary OF the Treasury, but beyond these

certain.
Abont noon the members of the old
Cabinet appeared, this being the usual
way of meeting, and a regular session
was held. All the members were

President Hayes received a great
many people at the Executive Mansion
to. day, including Wells and Anderson
of the Louisiana Returning Board and
delegations from different States. The
East room was thronged. A floral

A Times Washington special says:
1t is understood that Johnston is in
full sympathy with Hayes Southern
| policy as e%nunciated in HIS letter of ac-
cepiance and again to day in his inau-
gural address, and that he would will
ingly accept a Cabinet position, al
though it is doubtful whether he
would feel like becoming personally
responsible Tor the behavior of the
South. The idea of placing him at tue
head of the War Department was
abandoned out of respect to the senti-
ment of the North.
