Although Cabinet probabilities are
being discussed at Washington with
considerable differences Of opinion and
various combinations are pressing
candidates other than those believed to
have been fixed upon by Hayes. the
best informed on the subject are con-
fident that he will adhere to Evarts for
Secretary of State; Sherman for Treas
ury; Carl Schurz for Interior; Nc
Creepy for Attorney General; and
David McKey for Post Master Cen

A CHANGE OF PRuGaaMmE,


The policy of His Fraudulency. Pres
ident Hayes. as foreshadowed by hi
address yesterday. will be to make
friends with the Southern members.
Grant went to one extr. me by counle-
pancing and supporting the rule OF
csrpe,-baggers, ana Hayes proposes TO
go to the other extreme by describing
them altogether They are to receive
no consideration whatever, and the M
tive sontherners are to be- molli6ed--
in fact, won over to Hay esism--by eX-
ecutive support of appropriations for
the Texas Pacific Railroad and Other
improvements in the cotton States.
HIS address, according to telegraphic
reports, gave general satisfaction. aud
was particularly pleasing to Southern
men. and were it not for the fact that
his title to the sffice of President Is
enveioped in cloud of doubt which
the people supposed the Electo al
Commission would dispel, the conserV-
alive course which be promises to pnr-
sue would receive the approval Of good
citizens every As it is, aud until
ell suspicious of fraud are removed
from his election. majority OF the
people of the United States must look
upon him as usurper placed 10 power
by the machinations of the most un-
scruDulous men in the ranks of the
Republican party.
There is, however. another and baser
purposa hidden beneath the smooth,
oily-coated sentences of Returning
Board Hayes inaugural address. which
betrays the real end aimed at in adopt
ing this new policy. The leaders OF
the party in power, having succeeded
in setting aside the voice of the people
by plying the party whip vigorously
about the supreme bench and causing
its OCCUPANTS to forfeit their claims to
public confidence by violating their
oaths to render impartial Justice INTO
ell who came before them, nov dlscoV-
er that there is an undercurrent OF
public opinion permeating the masses
of the land which condemns the out
rage and threatens to eugulf the party,
In whose interest it was perpetrated. in
a political maelstrom. As means of
pacifyiug the wronged and righteously
Indignant people into quietly tolerat-
ing their usurpatiop. change of pol
icy has been decided upon which vir-
tually says to the Southern people,
'.Fear us not; join our ranks. and we'll
guarantee special legislation for the
interests of your section in return. y
In a word, Morton and his confrerss
propose to purchase the support Of the
American people! and at price that,
it is fondly hoped. will cause them to
forget the campaign of 1876 with its
attending circumstances, including the
Inauguration of ruler who feared to
assume the hitherto honorable position
in manly way. as did his precedeces-
sors, but, like any other pretender,
took the oath in secrecy.

OUT-GENERALED.
That is What New York Democrats Call II.

A disguised correspondent, of Demo-
cratic p%roclivities, writes to THE
LEADER from New York, Feb. 18th,
as follows: There is, Judging from the
expressions of leading Democrats, a
very prevalent impression among New
York Democrats that the leaders of the
party have been out-generaled by their
opponents, and have lost the election
without gaining any moral advantage.
''If 1 had my way" said a gray haired
political Nestor last evening, ''the Dem
ocratic leaders would have rested their
case on the Constitution; on the un-
doubted evidences of fraud in Florida
and Louisiana and OH laying those evil
dences fairly before the country. If,
after all the Investigations that have
been made, the Republican leaders had
dared to take the responsibility of de-
claring for Hayes and Wheeler, 1 would
have compelled them to take h whole
responsibility of doing so, without Civ
ing them the opportunity to shelter their
dtIlOu DtIlIlu liiC uttitl vi w
cisions of a commission. AL the Dem
ocrats have effected by agreeing to a
commission has been to give the Repub-
licans an opportunity to carry out their
programme and whitewash it with a
color of fairness and legality. In this
way our moral advantage has been lost,
without any material gain to co4nter-
balance it." The view of the situation
expressed in the preceding sentences
represents fairly, perhaps, the prevalent
sentiment of the most thoughtful and
sagacious Democrats in this city, among
whom the compromise bill found very
few defenders while it was pending and
who now regard it as a party calamity,
the effects of which place the Democra-
cy in a position of moral as well as of
political defeat. And in the midst of
all these comments on the faulty of the
compromise crops out the bitter per-
ception that the leaders of the party in
Washington have been clearly outgen-
eraled-cajoled into sacrificing their
moral advantage to the delusiye hope of
obtaining justice at the hands Of n COM
mission composed of eight Republicans
and seven Democrats. This may be
described as the prevalent sentiment,
not only among Democratic politicians,
but among the more intelligent voting
masses of the party. Nine out of ten
of ali the Democrats whom our reporter
talked with yesterday afternoon substan-
TALLY expressed the opinion that the
case had been badly manipulated and
Hewitt and his coadjutors cleverly out
witted.

Retaining the Colorado River Desert

Reclaiming the Colorado River Desert.
The House committee on public lands,
on the 10Th inst, discussed the bill pro-
viding for a grant of lands, known as
the Colorado river desert, to o. M.
Wozencraft, on the condition of his re-
claiming them by irrigation andfurnish-
ing a sufficient supply of water for pur-
poses of travel, etc. The subcommittee
consisting of Cause of Arkansas, Lane
of Oregon, and Hathorn of New York,
recommended a favorable report on the
bill, but the full committee deferred ac-
ton. Wozencraft has arrived there to
urge the passage of this measure, and
has brought to the attention of the COM
mittee a favorable report made upon
his project by the House public lands
committee in the 3Sth Congress; also
some extracts from reports of Pacific
railroad surveys which assert the prac-
ticability of his scheme. 1t is ascertain
ed on the other hand that the report of
Lieut.. Wheeler, now being printed will
show that the proposed diversion OF the
Colorado river can not be successfully
made at any point within the territory
of the United States. The reasons for
this conclusion of the army engineers
are that the total amount of water which
could he brought fromthe river at high
water stages into the depressed desert
region, would be inadequate to form a
permanent lake of sufficient magnitude
to materially change the climate by
evaporation from its surface, and that
the small results attainable would moi
Justify the necessary expenditure OF
money. Wozencraft replies to this that
if he does not succeed in reclaiming the
lands, the bill will not give him the title
to them.

For the Register.
THE HOUR FOR REASON
AND
TIE DUTY OF THE HOUR!

Men gather their most useful knowl-
edge from experience. History is, or
ought to be, truthful compilation OF
the actual experience Of mankind; draw
ing our conclusions from the past expe-
rience of the people, ought we not to
pause, aud deliberately consider our sit
uation to-day, in political, not parti-
san, aspect. In the past and present
aye, all countries have their turbulent,
plotting, selfish, designing men, willing,
for selt-aggrandizemen:, to disturb the
peace, destroy the prosperity, sacrifice
the lives and property of the mass OF
;he people, and subyert their govern
ment Nothing is more conducive to
The success of such, than first to impov-
erish the masses, and then arouse their
prriudices Partisan passion has shown
itself to be most violent, blindtng, intol-
Grant, selfish aud useless. Men of ripe
experience in Legislative practice, men
who eau rise above self, and grasp their
State and country's best interests; we
have men combining those requirements,
men who have shown their comprehen-
sion of their States interest, and have
exerted themselves for its development,
aud who possess acknowledged states
manshiF. We say then, let true merit
and high qualification be the standards
of your Judgment and choice, and not
local and personal considerations inAu-
ence your votes. Il.

Terrible Railroad Accident.

The year 1876 has been sineularly
free from disastrous railroad accidents,
but in its closing days we have to re-
cord one of the most heart rendlng that
has ever occurred in this country. a
passenger train on the Lake Shore Rail
road, while crossing bridge near Ash
tabula. Ohio, broke through, and seven
coaches filled with pass engers fell a dis
lance of seventy-fve feet to the ice be
low, and instantly took fire from broken
lamps and overturned stoves. Some
of the passengers were killed outright
by the fearful conclusion others were
held fast in the wreck until the fire CON
sumed them not few were wedged in
between huge blocks of ice. where they
froze TO death, while probably the lar
ger number, more fortunate than their
fellow-victims who fingered longer on
the brink of destruction, were instantly
carried under the ice and drowaed.
The telegraph informs US that of one
hundred and seventy, five persons who
went down with the wreck about sixty
are supposed to have persisted. y
heavy snow storm was raging at the
time, which added to the misery of the
situation The cause Of tho giving way
of the bridge is not explained.
Fuller details of the above disaster
make it very horrible one, but we have
not room for them. Ont of about 80
passengers, not less than one hundred
were killed and wounded, many of the
killed having been burnt beyond recog
milton.
