TILE CABINET CONFIRMED.
The Detrui&tits are disappointed
again. 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.

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

PRESIDENTIIIYEs' policy like his

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

"In reviewing General Grant's

his term a soft-money madness,
Whiclinever had afflicted the people
before, and which • we may believe
never will mafflict them again, swept
over a large part of the country.
Let General Grant have unstinted

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

was bound up to conceal 'a broken
jaw. Nex-tgo her lay a six-year old'

a heel. Beside him lay his mother.
Then came two w men. oneapparant

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. .
