The Inauguration.
WASHINGTON, March 5.-The inaugu-
ration ceremonies are progressing
quietly. The pageantry Is not very i'm
posing and the military display infe-
rior to that Of 1872 or 1868. The day is
cloudy and cold, but not stormy or
clustering.
Hayes Policy.
Hayes inaugural address will be
delivered in about an hour from now
1t Is not long document, nor is it re-
markable, except as to the Southern
question. On this point, Hayes far ex-
ceeds the expectations Of even the
most sanguine OF his conservative
friends, In fact, he inaugurates policy
which. If steadily adhered to, will form
the basis of an entire new departure
and a complete reconstruction Of po-
litical parties. He seems to have taken
the bits in his teeth, as they say of O
race horse, and has bolted the party
track completely.
A New Party.
His Cabinet will be made up Of the
most respectable elements in the Re-
publican party and the most pro-
nounced elements of the ex- Confederate
Cons ervatives in the South.
The Bio0dy-shirt Radicals.
AS consequence, the bloody-shirt
Radicals are furious. Combination of
the Morton, Blaine and Cameron fac
tions will be made against Hayes at
once, and he will have to depend largely
upon the South for his support in Con-
gress.
You need not be surprised to see the
South in both Houses of next Congress
joining hands with the respectable Re-
publican element in the North and
West and in support Of the Hayes Ad-
ministration and against combination
Of the Radical element of the Republi-
can party with the Bourbon element of
the Democracy.
Hayes has hitherto been regarded as
weak man, but if he carries out the
policy he has inaugurated he will rank
with Andrew Jackson for independence
and tirmness of character.
The cabinet.
The most reliable accounts tht can be
obtained make the Cabinet as follows {:
Secretary Of State-Evarts, of New
York; Secretary Of the Treasury-John
Sherman; Secretary Of War; oseph E.
Johnston Secretary Of the Navy ohm
M. Forbes, OF Boston; Secretary of
the Interior-Carl Schurz; Postmaster
HarnraI TnL n
Brown, OF Tenn. Atty Gen'l- McCrary
Of Iowa.
General Joseph II. Johnston,
It's not certain that General
John sston will accept, but Gen. Sherman
thinks he will. Governor Brown, of
Tennessee. may not accept, and in that
event the Postof1ice will be rendered to
Key.
You can readily imagine what bomb
she'll such d Cabinet would be to the
prevailing party organizations. Per-
sonally it would be the most powerful
Cabinet since the administration Of
John Quincy Adams.
A. y. Hewitt
Mr.. Hewitt TODAY resigned the chair
manship Of the National Democratic
Committee, and Senator Barnum, Of
Connecticut, was elected in his pla ce.
Mr.. Hewitt accompanied his resignation
with letter to the committee which
bears out the statements made in my
letter to you defending him against the
attacks OF Henry Watterson and others.
The recent tone Of the New Orleans
DEMOCRAT, and other leading Southern
journals, has done much to encourage
Hayes in adopting his broad and liberal
Southern policy. He offers the olive
branch to the South in good faith. He
leaves it for the Southern people to de-
termine what the future shall bring for
them. BUELL..
