WnnN Hayes smt in his cabinet nomi ri li-;.L'S to the Senate there was n vast n U'tt ."f tl-if.tor and ill-temper exhibited by Cameron, Morton, and a few others of tun same ati lj-e, and it was thought that at U-Atil Ev.it ts, Schurz and Key would prob nbly fti of confirmation.

Oa Saturday the remaining members weie alo confirmed, the Democrats, with two or three exceptions, voting for them, T-hilc a large number of Republicans le fabtd to vote. Tha Democratic Senators could have rejected Evaits, Schurz and Key by nsiMng with ten Republicans who viero ready to vote against thetu. But the Democrats of the Senate declined to bo a party to any f.tctious opposition to their J c nlh mat ion.

Had Gov. Hayes been disposed, for per sonal reasons, to retain Don Cameron in the cabinet, be would have found such retention incompatible with the carrying out of his new Southern iolicy. Don took the most decided stand of any member of Gen. Grant's cabinet against the slightest relax ation of the federal grip on the South, and even declined to sign the modi tied orders sent by Giant's direction to Gen. Augur. Hayes was made acquainted with these facts, and realizing the necessity of his cabinet being a unit in accord with him self, he withstood the immense pressure brought to bear on him by the Cameron in terest. CARL PCHCRZ has stated that his administration of the Iuteiior Department would be that of the utmost impartiality, and that while he should aim to carry out the true piiuctples of civil service reform, he had no grudge against any of the appointees of Zach. .Chandler ; but from the manner and style of this lenifttk wo look for a cleaning out of the many rings iu thai Department, par ticularly so since he wus pleased to add that he would have no conflict with machine M)lit icians, as he did not propose to inn a muck with them. THE KELLOGG CONTEST. At a caucus of Republican Senators, held at the Ebbilt lbiu.se, a disposition was shown to diop the Kellogg matter until the next session. Tho continued illness ot Edmunds and the uncertain attitude of Conk ling on this quest Win make it very doubtful whether tho Senate will agee to slay in session solely for the consideration of Ke Hogg's case, or whether, if the ques tion comes to the vote now, Kellogg will get bis seat. If Morton seesa fair proi-ci. of succeeding, he will undoubtedly try to dispose of the matter at once, but just now be tit'ds little to encourage biui. GARFIELD, at the requestof Hayes, has concluded to remain iu the House instead of going for the Senate, thinking that he can be more useful to the administration of his Fiaudu lency where he now is. TUE ODIUM JUDGES of the so called Supreme Couit of the United States will make their ollicial call on Returning Board Hayes to-day at the Whit House. Justice Field will not ac company them, as he went to New York, and Justice Clifford has not signified wheth er he will be of the party or not. THE PRESIDENTIAL CHURCH. No former President ever constituted a cabinet out of Bitch discordant and jSrring material as the one with which Hayes has surrounded himself. A leading Republi can paper in Pittsburgh declares that it is fearfully and wonderfully made. Look at it. Secretary of State, Wm. M. Evarts, at on time Attorney General under Andrew Johnson ; in 1872 the bitter foe of Grant's policy towards the Southern States, and iu 1374 the open supporter of Tilden against General Dix for Governor of New York. For Secretary of the Interior, Carl Schurz, who in 1S72 was the father of the movement that nominated Gieeley at Cincinnati, and who in the Senate was the bitter enemy of Grant's administration. For Attorney General, Charles Dcvens, of Massachusetts, tiotary schemes in the Southern States, wtis once the Democratic candidate for Governor tf his own State, and supported Gaston (Democrat) for the same office. For Post Master General, David M. Key, of Tennessee, a confederate colonel, and who spoko and voted for Tilden. The remain ing thiee members of tbis variegated cabi net, Sherman, of Ohio, Secretary of the Treasury, R. W. Thompson, ot Iudiana, Secretaiy of the Navy, and George W. McCrary, of Iowa, Secretary of War, have always been straight-out Republicans. Can such a motly set of cabinet ministers work together iu harmony ? That is a problem yet to be solved, but the strong pre sumption is, t'.tat the whole patched up concern will fall to pieces long before Con gress assembles in December next. Loyal Republicans eocm to be pleased at tho idea of Hayes putting a Tennessee Democrat and an ex-rebel colonel, David M. Key, at the head of the Post, Oflice De partment, to supervizo and dispense its tremendous pationage, which caches into every nojk aud comer of every State and Territory of tho Union. If Samuel J.

But as Hayes, and not Tilden, has done it, it is altogether lovely, and Key is a marvellously pr.qer man for the place. Mr. Key declared last December, in the Senate of the United States, that Tilden aud Hendricks, for i TEv 1 . C ll liA It A I tiotflfl I.AI tLAnn 1 m. 1 .

Tho new c institution fixes the term ef that officer at four years, and as General M"Canuless,the present incumbent, tra elected in IS. 4, bis successor cannot be i-.hnsen uutil November, 1878. The Radical expresses a wish for t lie nomination of "some .'ood man" from the northwestern night follows the clay, that he did not be lieve that Hayes and Wheeler had been elected. Mr. Key therefore has placed himself in the unenviable and self-stultifying position of accepting a cabinet appoint ment from a man who, according to his own belief, was fraudulently counted into office.

The confirmation by the Senate of everv man nominated by Hayes, with such lim ited dissent as finally appears on the part ot either political party, is an encouraging triumph for the liberal policy of the new administration. The old '-Senatorial clique," reinforced by Blaine, have been taught that they can no longer run the government, and it is rather amusing to rea.i now in our local press or the sunstroke Senator (Blaine), dining with Messrs.

The v country wants j4et between the sections aud an A Tocchixo Incidnet. A N. Y. Tri bune reporter tells the following sad story j in connection with the recent church dis aster iu that city : Mary Coughlin, one of the dead, was the wife of William Coughlin, merchant tailor. She was born in Queens county, Ireland, and came to this country about 8 yeais since. James Coughlin, one of the sons who came to the door when the re oiter rang the bell, said '.hat his mother was C8 years old, and in perfect heal;h she went to the mission at l:',i0 o'clock, un attended by any of her family. He had been to the Thirteenth street station house and recognized her. He had subsequently gone for his aged father, and the icpoitcr was present wheu lie led hiiu to the mde of the body. Tt is difficult to describe the absolutely piteous character of the recog nition. The man was fully 60 possibly 70 years of age feeble, aud the reporter could not but think feeble-tnnidcd. When the old man saw the inanimate form of his wife he sank on his knees at her feet. Not a glance in his eyes betrayed his recognition. Not a tear iu his eyes betrayed any affec tion. Not a movement of any n.uscle nf his face betrayed any emotion. He kaelt. at her feet immobile of countenance but not indifferent to the surroundings, for seeing that her disananged dress exposed her feet aud a portion ef her legs, he bent forward nnd drew her dress down so as partly to conceal both, The simplicity and delicacy of the action made more callous hearts turn away. Then, without move ment of muscle, without dropping of tear, tho old man made the sign of the cross upon his breast, then clasped his hands above, not on his breast, and prayed silent ly for fully two minutes a silent, awed crowd looking upon him with mingled feel ings of respect and emotion. Then giant Thomas S. Brennan giant in stature, baby in feeling, woman at heart approached him aud touched the dazed old man on the shoulder. He instantly closed his prayer, made again the sign of the cross, aud rose from his knees. As he did so, and as if in answer to some words of consolation which Brennan was evidently blubbering out to him, ho said, "When shall I see her again?" Brennan answered instantly, "She will be home when you are thnre." Tho old man bent to kiss bis hand, but Brennan resisted, and led him to the door, where his sou took biui iu charge and led him away.

The murderer of Josie Langmaid, iu New Hampshire, has lmen convicted a A ?TRATCGK Suicidk. The 6nicide of George C. Wheeler, a chemist, living in i Uundee, Canada, is one of the strangest ever recorded. He was a hard student, 22 years old, who rarely went into society, but lived by h'.msclf, woiking in a small labor atory by day and watching the stars by night through a small telescope. About six months ago he told his friends that he had made a chemical discovery which would carry his renown to the ends of the earth. The hallucination which took ot,session of him was that he had succeeded in making a preparation which, wheu scattered on a dead person, would restore lif. Neither the arguments nor jers of his friends changed this belief. He resolved to kill himself in order to have the efficacy of his resuriect.ion powder tested. In a letter which he wrote on Match 3 he says : "My physical atomic state, after tho oideal, I desire shall be taken in charge by Prof. Mc Loulh, of the State Normal School, who, taking a portion of my 'creative, all change ful material assistant,' will scatter a few particles over the dissectary remains, and then place them in the receptacle of my 'galvanic, magnet ic clectiical Kjwer,' w hen the elements will resolve themselves into a new combination, and I will ap)ar a living evidence of the ti nth ol this new discovery." A large bottle, containing a thin fluid, label ed "creative, all-changclul material assist ant," was found beside the letter. The ma chine used by the young man to accomplish this purpose is a mai vel ef ingenuity.

FrauciB Xavier, in Sixteenth street, near Sixth avenue, New Yoik, last Thursday night, caused a rush of women from one of the galleries, and iu the tumult which ensued six women and one boy were trampled undei foot and killed. The con gregation was composed entirely of women aud children, it being "women's week" in Lent. The church was terribly crowded, prin cipally by women aud children. The gal leries also were crowded to overflowing. Father Longcake was preaching the ser mon, and bad been preaching about ten minutes when a woman went into a hys terical fit in the gallery on the side of the church toward Sixth avenue, 'i his created quite a stir, aud the commotion increased in the endeavor to find out what was tho matter. At this juncture a cry of lire was heard and a rush was made for the exit from the gallery. The door was blocked for a moment by a very large woman, and this check caused the panic to increase ten fold. The crowd bulled the woman down the steps, and in a moment the passage was choked, and a scene of the wildest confu sion and most intense excitement ensued. Father White and several other priests who were in the chuich pailors at the time the panic occurred, lushed round to the fiont of the church, and, assisted by pattolmen, by main force dragged out some of the women who were lying on the stairs. The work of extricating the people was then pushed on vigorously, and in a few minutes the church was created. Six dead bodies were round at the bottom of the stairs, where they had been trampled to death. One well dressed lady was picked up aud taken to a drug store in Sixth avenue, where she shortly afterward expired. Six women and one boy were killed.
