Last week they professed to see indications of trouble in the_Re publican camp over the Cabinet ap pointments. - and Mr. 8L.a.6 - 0S speech Was interpreted as the precursor of ripen rebellion against Mr..._HAYEs' Southern policy. The perfect una nimity with which the Republicin Senators voted to confirm tlie.---&bi ., net, and the hearty acquiesence- in his honest effort to reconstruct the .South, has sent dismay tirthe sup porters of Mr. TILDEN. ReptlblidaDS who differ with the President as to methods are in sympathy with his motives—his, honesty is not doubted, and all feel confident that he will be as ready to change his policy if ex.- periment shall prove _necessary, asi those who now differ with him hav&i been to yiel to his views ; so ;that his administration will not only prove:i successful, but will leave the Repub lican party more firmly . cemented and stronger than ever before. And if the country, really wishes thoroughl reforni;--it now has an opportunity of i Securing it, for -Mr. 11AI - is' and his advisers will surely. work forit, and ( ill need only the, support of the people. in order to attain it'. What we all owe to the President now - is -candid good will. lie has giveii us the strongest - possible proof that he means to do his best. - It' is the duty of all good citizens to -second his .efforts. The path he has marked out will not be an . easy one. lle will be openly and covertly opposed by the -partizans-of Mr. TILDEN. Biit 'he hai a right to.ask that he shall 'be judged by the frhits'Of his efforts, and •it is the part of all Republicans, at least, to wait for these, and meanwhile to give him the confidepce which his first steps so clearly desei*e. OEWNEW E. S. SENATOR. by an almost unanimous vote of the Republican members of the leg iilature, at a session held etn Tues day. Hon. J. D.CAIVERON was nom inated as the successor to his father in the t. S. Senate. The promptness and unaminity with which the action was taken, (there being but one vote against, him) is as complimentary to the distinguished War :Minister as it was merited. CAM ' EROS has been a favorite with the Republicans, of Pennsylvania for years. lie pos sesses many of the characteries of his. father, and will - prove a worthy successor to the veteran serlior Sena-. tor from Penn'Svlvania. His admin • - istratioh Of the War Department during the 'last Year won him an en viable reputation as a wise and saga cious statesman, and he will be cor dially welcomed to his new field •of labor, PRESIDENT HAYES seems to be as independent in church-going as in Cabinet-making. It is reported that as strong an effort was made to induce , him to occupy the official pelt in the 1 AT the caucus of the Republican Metropolitan Methodist Episcopal 1 members of the Legislature of this Church Sunday as was made last Otate, held on Tuesday, Presideht week in the Senate to induce him to pilAYEs' policy was endoried reconsider his - appointments. The i President 'and his family, however, went quietly to worship in the Found , 47 Church of the same desominatiosa. MIT TEE. " We accept the Cabinet appoint ments as a most gratifying applica tion of tile:lolly principles proclaim ed 'T the PreAdent at the Capitol on :Monday. The first step has been taken. and the country will say, Well done !" Tux Senate Committee on Privi legesand Elections authorized their chairman to report to the Senate that Kellogg has a pr;ind facie right to admmission as Senator from Lou isiana, and should be immediately sworn in. THE news from the New Ilatnp slnre eleqion is, too meagre to form any estimate of the result on Con gressmen. The I:gil)Bean candi date for Governor is without doubt elected. PRESIDENTIIIYEs' policy like his cliOncter seems unassailable froth , any point. I ' VEIL mum chinneow.: The Republicans of Pennsylvania, not less than of the whole ei?untry, Nill,read with regret the announce ment Which we print elsewhere, that General Camr.s.os has resigned_ seat in the 17, S. Senate. His long and useful career has endeared him to the people of the country, and the body of which he has been so promi nent and influential a member will part with him reluctantly. Although he has outlived the allotted period by half a score of years, his "natural force is not abated," but he is still in the:enjoyment of vigorous mental and physical faculties. 'Like all pos itive, public men he has been severely criticized by his opponents, but his impartial biographer will find little in his eventful-life to condemn. Pa triotic and _honest in all his convic tions he has ever been-hold in declar ing his Pfinciples, and few of the statesmen of the present day have displayed more wisdom in grappling questions affecting the weal or woe of the nation. Added to his patriot ism, honesty and integrtty in official capacities, is the Crowning virtue of undeviating fidelity to..:,personal friends. His bitterest ettemies have never charged him with ingratitude or betrayal of friendships, and no man in the State counts a large number of warm and devoted friends than Mr CAMERON. He will carry with •him in -his retirement to private,life the affectionate regard of all who have been so fortunate.as to meet:him in the social circle, besides the thou sands'who only know hirr(through his public life. Pennsylvania especial ly* owes him a lasting dpbt of grat itude for the untiring unselfishness with which hp has devoteda long life to the development and protection of her resources, and the legislature now In session - Will disappoint their constituents if they fail to give ex pression •to ,the popular feeling in this regard. The following is a brief history of Senator CAMERON : He was born in Lancaster County, Pa., 1799; and is consequently just turned 78 years of age. He became a printer, and in 1820 the editor of a newspaper at -Doylestown.• In 1822 he removed - to Harrisburg where he edited. a Democratic journal; became president of a bank, and subsquent ly of two : railroad companies. In 1845 he was elected United States Senator to . fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Mr. BUCEIANAN, his term closing in 1849. He acted with the Democratic party, voting in favor of declaring" -that war - existed with Mexico, and ib favor of the proposi tion to'extend the Missouri coinpro- raise line to the Pacific. After the repeal of the Missouri compromise in 1554; he allied himself with the Re j ican party, and in. 1857 was gain elected U. S. Senatoi. In the I_Republimn Convention held at Chi } cago in May, 1860, he was proposed l as a candidate for the presidency, and on the first ballot received about fifty votes. Mr. CAMERON'S name was then withdrawn; hia , • friends :voting for Mr. Llscor,N. On Mr.. LINCOLN'S inauguration, .March 4, .1861, Mr. I CAMERON became Secretary of War. He remained in the Cabinet until January, 1842, when resigned and was appointed Minister to Russia, being succeeded as Secretary of War by. Mr! STANTON. He retained the mission to Russia only a short time, returning to the United States in November, 1862. In 18G6 he " - Was again elected to the 'United States Senate, and in -1872 was chosen chair man of • the Coinmittee_on Foreign Relations, in,place of Mr:Sumsr.a. In 1873 ho was again elected to.tlie Senate, to serve until 1879. lie was chosen last Friday chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee for the Forty -Fifth Congress. I How P;t.p 4 IDEN'T HAIN saved an arm during the Wai , is told in the fold I lowing paragraph from (the Sprina geld (0.) Repiglie:_ "General Hayes was wounded in the arm at South Mountain. The surgeons - said - it. must come off, and made all necessary ineparations for amputation. - The General was at Middletown, Md, at the residence of a gentleman well known here, and this gentleman begged him to allow his _family physician—Dr. Dare of Middletown, also well-known here— to take charge of liim. ' lie consent and although the army surgeons were displeased, the doctor assume(' the care of the General and managed the ease so skillfully that amputation was rendered unnecessary. This ac counts for the fact- that the next' President will have two arms." THE most ultra Pemocaatie journ als of the South are foremost in. ac= cepting President-TllAres position as a sign of better days. The Charles-, town New:: says : iu aisurxr. Tge gentlemen seleeiedas advisers by his excellency, Pres. HAYES, are men of high elutrac:ter, whatever else may be argued against any, of them: The motive which led to their selec tion was doubtless good, and -we trust the result may be all that the President anticipated, notwithstand ing our disappointment in seeing Secretary CAMERON left. 011 t, HIS retention was the almost unanimous desire of the party in this State, and certainly no one man did more to compasg success for the Reputliesn ticket inithe late struggle than Ilion. J. D. CAMERON, and we do not, be lieve for a moment that the Presi dent designs to overlook his invalua ble service in the campaign ,which resulted in plaCing him in the Presi dential Chair. For reasons which are not yet * given the public, the President thought good to ,overlook Pennsylvania in the selection of a Cabinet, but it does not follow that he indisposed to turn a cold shoul der to his:friends in the old keystone, but in chid time he will prove his gratitue by generous and hearty re cognition of the CAMERONS and their co-laborers. • Below ( we give a 'short sketch of the several members Of -the Cabinet: SECRETARY OF STATE. Hon. William Maxwell:Evarts, of New York, the new Secretary of State, was born in Boston in 1818, was gaduated at Yale in 1837, stn died .tiVo years at Halyard Law School, and in 1841 establiShed him self in the city of New York. In, , 1851 he *as appointed United States: District Attorney for that distVict, was defeated by -Ira Harris for Sena tor in 1861, and froni July 15, 1868, until the close ,of President John son's Adininistration he was Attor ney General of the United States, In 1871 he was selected . by President Grant as the leading counsel of the United States at the Geneva arbitra, eion. It is at the bar that Mr. Evarts has splendid \ reputation. The Cuban,' expedition ase in' 1851, the tenion slave case of 1.853, the will eases of Henry "Parishand Mrs. Gardner, his plea in the TiltomßeeCher trial, his defence of Andrew J.ohnion •in the impeachment trial, end his recent- ar gument before the Electoral Tribu nal, all exhibit the, depth of his learn ing and the power of his eloquence. His oration in the Independence Square. in Philadelphia, on July 4, 1876, the one hundredth anniversary of Arnerican Independence, was wor thy OM grand occasion... That the popular voice; immediately'-on the accession of President Hayes, named Mr. Evarts for his present 'high posi tion, is a singular proof of the uni versal admiration of 'his abilities. SECRETARY Ot - TIIE TREASURY. H6n. John Sherman, of Ohio, cho sen Secretary of the Treasury, was horn at Lancaster, 'Ohio, in 1823. his brother, General Sherman, went to West Point, but John only receiv ed a coMmon-school education. He was admitted to the bar at Mansfield in 1844, soon took an active part in politics, and in 1848 andlBs2 he was. a delegate to the Whig National Convention, and was .warm• sup porter of both General Taylor and General Scott for 'the Presidency. In 1854 he was elected to Congress by the• aid of Whigs, Democrats, and Free-Soilers, from the Thirteenth Ohio District. He was subsequently re-elected to the Thirty-fifth, Thirty sixtb,and Thirty-seventh Congresses, and in 1859-60 he was the Republi can candidate for. Speaker of the House of - Representatives, 'but Pen nington, of New Jersey, was finally chosen as a . ' compromise. During the Thirty-sixth Congress, he was chairman of the Committee of Ways and . Means. In 1861, when Senator Chase resigned to accept a place in President Lincoln's Cabinet, - Mr. Sherman was chosen to succeed him, and he has . remained in the Senate ever sinee, serving as chairman of the Finance Committee and as a member of those on the racific Rail road and the Judiciary. Mr. Sher man's constitutional calmness and 'excellent judgment, together with his thorough acquaintance with financial affairs, eminently qualify him for the responsibilities to which he has been assigned. , SECRETARY OF THE INTERIOR. Hon. Carl. Schur"; of Missouri, se ected for the important portfolio of the Interior, was borivat Siblar, near Cologne, Germany, - 1829. Jlc was educated at the Gymnasium of Co. logne and the' UniVersity of Bonn. In early life he was a soldier, corre spondent, editor, and lawyer. He joined in the revolutionary outbreak of 1848, but was compelled to' flee. In 1851 he was Paris correspondent of some German newspapers, and . in 1852 a teacher in London. • In•nhe latter year he married and came to this country, first residing, for three years, in Philadelphia. Ile afterward settled at Madison, Wisconsin. In 18541, (hiring the Freruont.campaign, , he became noted as'a German politi cal orator, and delivered his first English .speech in 1858, at the time of the famous Contest between Lin coln and Douglass for the United States Senatorship. For sometime he practiced law at Milwaukee, and in 1859-60 he gained considerable distinetion as a Lecturer.: Lincoln appointed him minister to Spain, but resigning the position to enter the army, he speedily rose to be a 'major general, and distinguished himself in the battles of-Bull Run, Fredericks. burg, and Gettysburg. "In 1865 7 6 he was the ;Washington correspondent of a New York paper, and in 186 i he assumed the editorship of the Ireettiche Post at St.;-Louis. Gener al Schfrz was a member of the Na tional Republican . Convention of 1868, of which he was temporary chairman. In January, 1869, he was cliosen a I. nited States Senator front Missouri, and in 1872 he assisted in the organization of the Liberal Re publican party, and presided oveK,the convention at `..'incitinati which nom inated Mr. Greeley for the Presiden cy. His active efforts in behalf of the Republican party during the late catnpaign contributed much to the success of the cause: Mr. Schurz is a gentleman of varied accomplish ments and acknowledged capacity. - ECRETARY OF WAR. Hon: George W. ileerary t of lowa, the new Secretary of War, was born in Evansville, lad., in 1835. He studied - law• and' was admitted to practiee at Keokuk, lowa.

Th.! resolutions adopted by the 'Chicago Convention in 180 were drawn up and ¶ ead by him, and it was -he who en joyed the honor of nominating Abraham Lincoln. He was chairman of t 6. Indiana delega tion at the 'Cincinnati Convention last year. and voted for Mr. Mot ton until .the break was made for Mr. Hayes. •Mr. Thompson is a fluent speaker,very rifipular with,,all classes, and his appointment will give gener al satisfaction. - , ATTORNEY GENERAL. - - General .Charles Devens, of Massa chusetts, the coming Attorney Gen eral,' was born at Charlestown, Mass., in 1820, passed' through Harvard University and the Law Soho served in the State Senate, and was United StateS 'Marshal from 1849 to In• the spring of 1861 General Devens entered the army :with the rank Of Major, and while before Yorktown he was appointed briga diet' general.

Although a Democrat, his course has been - So liberal as to win the respect, admiration, and often the support of - Republicans. The county of Hamilton, in which he re sides, is Republican, but its members in the Legislature were his zealous supportvs. In 1875 Key was ap pointe by Governor Porter to fill the vacant seat of Andrew Johnson in the Senate. Jle!was recently defeat ed' for election, lacking only three Nip, but received every vote of both -paities from East Tennessee, which gave Hayes 10,000 majority. He al so received every Republican vote in the Legislature; his defeat was due to his non-partisan course in the Senate. Ile voted for:the Mississip pi investigation. He was the only Democratic Senator who did. At his home he is regarded as a repre sentatiVe Confederate, a just, and. honest man, who thoroughly ac cepted the situation in 1845, and has . .done all in his power to proinote good will and harmony between the sections. -.ln 1870 he delivered an oration over the graves of the Feder al dead at Chattanooga which touch ed the popular 'bead winning golden opinions froM es ohliers on both sides..

The joint convention for an election will probably meet the 20th inst: THE Republican Standing Cotrtr . mittee met pursuant to adjournment on Tuesday afternoon. After' a full discussion, it was decided to purpose a convention in May , for the of electing delegates to the State Con vention and nominating such candi .l.-, dates as are to be voted for at the approaching fall election.

MEN, MANNERS AND TIDINGS IN 'SUE BrAtli' lIILLS. A western subscriber sends us the following graphic description of "Deadwood," the Black Hills city: . Deadwood may be considered pretty lively town; that is, lively for a town of_, 2,000 inhabitants. Of course, it's e central camp, wh . cre all the gambling, lighting and busi ness, is done. ,Everything goes on a graio rush night and day. I'l:reds no lwegulurity about anyth.ng. A limn opens a place of business aunt makes lots of money, then he gets the prospecting fever, starts for the gulches, and shuts up his •shebang. When a place is closed up it means that the owner is out diving, has been killed in a fight, or is ott on a Spree. We have no municipal gov ernment at all. Every man thinks be's Mayor of the town. Every once in a while the boys call a mass meet ing, draw up resolutions, etc-, and decide to incorporate the town, l and haVe a Board of Aldermen; but at the end of the week nobody knows what has• 'become of the resolutions or the Aldermen. We start a new city government every two .weeks sand bust one every week—if there is &fiv:" 4 HoW about the theater ?'' "Yes' we've got a little theater there, not nearly, as well fitted up as a cock pit.. The orchestra chairs are made of stakes driven into the grOund, with a round picee cf hoard about the size of your hand nailed on top. Admission .$2,50 ; reserved seats $5.

A PLIXFUL DISASTER. A mission of the Jesuits was in course of celebration in St. Francis Xavier's Church New Yofk City, on Thursday evening last for women only, and the building was crowded with about -four thousand perhons, when'a woman became hysterical in one of the galleries and screamed, whereupon some foolish person cried. " Firci!" In an instant a wild panic ensued, and the frightened women began tii...lrush from the gallery, trampling one another-under foot. Father , - Langeake imploi•ed the people too. keep their seats, as there was.absolutely .no:: cause for alarm. Father Merrick, the pastor, who Was . in the chapel in the basement of the building , at the time, heard the scream% and rushed into his sanctu ary. In loud -tones he called upon the congregation to be still and keep their'seats, 'as there was no lire and no ,cause for - alarm. Mr,- James Powd, the sexton of the church, also endeavored to stop 'the panic. The people . , iii main body of the church:lestnued their . seats, as did also 'those in the east gallery,'but the `commotion and excitement in the west gallery still continued. Father .00 .1-Take retired to the vestrioom i and in a few moments-returned attir icid in his cape and uttered the bene liction, dismissing the congregation, and the organ began to play. The women in the main body of , the church and in .the east gallery passed out in an orderly manner, and not a single person in those parts. of the church last named was injured. The rush froth the west gallery, however, was - unmanageable, and, to make matters worse, a stout woman fell and blocked the narow staircase. Before Are could regain her feet the frantic crowd pressed on toward the vestihnie, came upon the prostrase form, and those in . the ,foremost ranks fell upon her. In a moment ;the passageway was chocked by the prostrate forms of those who had. endeavored to escape, and a scene of the wildest confusion and most in tense excitement ensued. WC crowd in the rear pressed on with an almost irresistible.force, and nothing Could be dune to stop their advance. Father Whyte., and several other priests who were in the. church par lors at the time the panic occurred; rushed round to the front of the church, mid, assisted by Patrolmen Ryder and Roosa of the twenty ninth precint, by main force dragged. out some of the women - who were lying on the stairs. The first was the stout woman whose fall had caused the disaster.: She 'was quite dead. A number of wPmen were then reetted alive and only slightly injured. In the struggle for life they were almost denuded of their Outer clothing. As the priests and the police, aided by a number df citizens, made ',heir way up the staircase, they found lying bn the - steps four- other women and a small boy. They were taken out to the open air. but:life was extinct. One woman. Ann ti Forbes, was brought out alive. and apparently not -much injured. She alktql, with. the' as , •istance of a polkeeeman, to limiter's drug store in Sixteeenth street, where she died in a 1Z!v; moments. A strong force of police under Captain Williams, anit'a detatchm en t jut' firemen, soon restored order. and it was then found that sevom persons had been crushed to death. Within half an hour after the dis aster ambulances began to arrive at the Thirtieth street police statioir, and front them were borne seven dead bodies—six of women and one of a little bo - A These were carried into the back room and laid in a row to await intlentifteation. The -first of the row was a :lender girl of six teen. The lower part of her 'face was bound up to conceal 'a broken jaw. Nex-tgo her lay a six-year old' hoy, his flabearing the imprints of a heel. Beside him lay his mother. Then came two w men. oneapparant ly forty years of age, and the other twenty-s , yen or eight. Beyond them was, a white-haired old woman, whose face was in perfect repose. Last of all lay a blimid of twenty years or less. j THE ASHTABULA ACCIDENT'' • Astyr,tbur.A, March 9.—The Coro ner's jury investigating into the Ashtabula railroad bridL,re disaster have agreed upon a verdict, as Cul- - "lt isfrom a careful consideration of the evidence elicited from profess ionals and e.xperts that our verdict is made up in the Matter of the-. bridge, and,Pi - ihould it seem- severe upon the railroad company - or upon any of its past or present officials, it is because the truth, as shown by the evidence, demands it at our hands. We- eann6t do - less and feel .1 that we have discharged our duty. ,The fall of OR bridge was the result - of defects - Will errors made in design - ing, constructing and. erecting it L, great defect, and one which appears in many parts of the structure, W;;s the dependency of every member for its efficient' action on the probability that all or nearly all the others . Would retain the position desired, and do duty for which they were desi!rned, instead of giving .10 eaeh member a positive connection with the . rest, which - nothing but a direct rupture could sever. The members of each truss were, instead of being fastened together, =raised aMi upon the - other." The verdict illustrates . the defect and the jury say the -rail road company used and continued to use this bridge for about eleven years durinp• .all of which time a careful in spection by a competent engineer could not have failed to discover the , defects. For the neglect of such careful" inspectionthe railroad com- Pany :done is responsible: The re sponsibility of this fearful disaster I bud its consequent' loss of life rests upon the railroad company, which by its chief executive officer ' planned . and eryeted the bridge. Tha car's in -which said deceased passengers were carried into said chasm were not heat ed by, heating apparatus,: so con structed that the tire,in it ,Nyould immediately extinguished whenever the cars are throvin froth .the track • and overturned ; that the failure to comply with that, plain provision of the law places responsibilitY of the origin of the fire-;upon the railroad company. (See act of May 40800 That the responsibility for not put ting out the tire at the time it first made its appearance -in the., wreck rests upon those who were firseto ar rive at the scene of disaster, and whcf seem to have been so overwhelmed , by the fearful calamity that they lost I all presence of mind- andifailed to use the means at_ hand, consisting of a steam pump in the pumping: houke and the lire engine Lake Erie and its hose, which might have been attach ed to the steam pump in time to save life. The steamer belonging to' the Fire Department and alsOrrotection Fire Engine, were hauled tdore than a mile through a blinding snow storm and over roads rendered almost im passable by drifts of snow, and ar rived on the ground too late to 'save human life. Nothing should have prevented the chief engineer from making all possible efforts to extin guish what fire there remained. For his failure to do this he is responsi ble. . That thoSe . persons, deceased, .be fore mentioned, whose bodies are identified,= and those whose bodies and parts of bodies - are _unidentified, came to their deaths by the preeipi--, tatiOn aforesaid of the cars in which they were riding into the chasm iii the valley ;of the Ashtabula creek, left by the falling of the biidge as aforesaid, the crushing and burning of said cars' aforesaid, fore all of which the railroad- company, is re-. sponsible. • • U.0,1 1 .131bD0R.F,' VA VDERnI7.T's 'WILL.. —On Saturday -afternoon Cornelius J.
