WASHINGTON, March 54.--The cabi-
ret Of Mr.. Hayes has been the princi-
pal topic OF conversation suggested to-
day and to-night. The first statement
that Mr.. Shermaniwould be the Sec,
retary of the Treasury was printed in
this correspondence, and that position
Ia row generally accorded him with
out contradiction anywhere. Friends
OF Mr.. Hale, of Maine, state positively
that he has been offered the Navy
Department, and has declined it be-
cause he expects in two years more to
succeed Mr.. Hamlin in the Senate. 'g Z,
= IL is stated that Gen. Sherman had
recommended to Gov. Hayes the APP
pointment OF Gen, JosephIE. Johnston
as Secretary Of Waras . master stroke
Of policy. II was claimed that an ap-
pointment of this nature would make
Gen. Johnston in q great measure feel
himself personally y responsible for ,he
behaviour Of the people of the South.
The personal g friends. here of Gen.
Johnston do not approve Of the tugge ;
tion of his name for o cabinet posi-
tion. Don Cameron is exceedingly
anxious to be retained in the War De-
partment, and not content with the
influence in his favor here has brought
on several delegations of Pennsylva-
MIA politicians to press his claims.
One of these delegations called on
Governor Hayes this afternoon and
hag1sd him ~ l. aar nno In Rut nan
has opposition at home, and a great
many Of the Pennsylvania politicians
VINO have arrived here are opposed to
him and want Hartranft. An adher-
art of Hartranft and one of Don's prin.
cipal strikers became 80 much excited
in an alteration oyer the subject in
Wizards Hotel that they were with
difficulty restrained from coming to
blows. That master of the English
Language, Gen. Logan, is also very
anxious to get into the War Depart
ment, and his friends have given Gov.
Hayes but little rest since his arrival
here. i.f.4
The Southern radicals are the hun
griest OF the lot. 1t can be repeated,
however. that if Southern democrat
of note can be found who will take a
position in the cabinet he can certainly
get it. .t.s.i lg-
A New Hampshire delegation called
ON Gov. Hayes to-day and urged Sena-
tor Cragin for a cabinet appointment.
Probably one thousand persons called
on the subject of appointments. MIR.
Lamar favors Gov. Brown of Tennes-
see, for q cabinet appointment, and
Ben. Hill recommends Gov. Herschel
johnson, of Georgia. The following
slate is made out tonight by an inti-
mate friend of Gov. Hayes: Secretary
of State, Eyarts; Attorney General,
McCrary; Treasury, Sherman; Interior
Schurz; Joe Johnston. War.Gov. Rice,
of Massachusetts,, Navy; Postoff1ce
Department, Gen. Harlan, of KY.
Yesterday the members OF the cabi-
net called in body on Gov. Hayes to
pay their respects TO him. He said to
them all individually that he desired
them to remain at the heads of theil
various departments until their sue
cessors were confirmed.
THE LOUISIANA RETURNING BOARD CALL
UPON Mr.. HAYES.
On the release of the Madison Well.
returning board OF Louisiana from
custody yesterday, the whole party at
tired themselves in their best clothes
called a carriage and proceeded to the
house of Senator Sherman for the pur
pose of paying their respects to Gov
Hayes. They were received in tht
most cordial manner and invited tc
lunch. which invitation they accepted
with great qualification. They all as
lsured Mr.. Hayes of their great deligh
at his elevation to the Presidency, anC
were not at all backward In indicating
the pride felt by them at having secur
ed the prize for him. When they
came away they exhibited 30 mucf
pleasure at the reception they met, ,anc
at the kind words he gave them, tina
it was more than compensation fol
their long imprisonment. Every on'
of them, black and white. confidently
expects a fat office. To-day WellI
was very prominent around the hotels
He was quite lion with the radicals
both here and from abroad, Mr.. Kel.
logg acting as the master of ceremonies
and making the presentations.
| CLOSING HOURS OF CONGRESS.
All through..the hours of yesterday
and last night immense crowds o.
people of both sexes thronged the cor
ridors of the capitol and the galleries
of the two houses. The army Of job
bers, male and female, were on hand
in such great force as to look like the
flush times were coming back. Ii
both houses in the long intervals be-
tween the conference reports on the
appropriation, billie, private bills were
taken up and rushed through with such
rapidity that not even the titles Were
read. Hundreds of bills passed in this
manner, and the jobby were triumph
ant and happy, as they had been wait
ing the whole winter. When the two
house reassembled this morning, after
the brief recess, the galleries were
again crowded to excess, gaily dressed
women predominating, and all taking
an absorbing interest in the closing
proceedings. The anticipations tha
some of the appropriation bills would
fa;j vera realized Only as tn the army
