—Three Reports Probable.
[Correspondence of the PbUsdetphin Evening Bulletin.)
Washington, Feb. 19, 1869.—The committee
having in charge the Inauguration ceremonies
expect to announce their programme In a day or
two. The ball Is now called an “Inauguration
Reception,” with tickets at $lO. Dancing will
ce tbe order of the .night, and amid good music,
gay company, and one of the most beantiful
balls in the country, the affair bids fair to be a
grand success. Borae people have tried to make
double by Inducing the colored people to present
themselves, but the latter havo more eense than
ibeir advisers, for they have arranged a ball “on
(heir own hook,” on the same evening, where
(hey can indulge themselves to their heart's con
tent. No person will be denied admission on ac
count of color, as the question has not been
raised in the committee, bat If it had, the de
rision would have been favorable to admitting all
who were willing to pay, without any distinction.
It is a noticeable fact that at the President's
reception on Tuesday evening last, several col
ored men were present, and promenaded with
tho throne. They were well dressed, and be
haved themselves* as well as any of the white
people, bnt I am unable to say whether they were
introduced to the Prebident or not. The parties
endeavoring to create this issue about the ball
tire the old disloyal seceah element.

Arrival of tbe spanlob Ambaiuulor-
JHe Will Not lie UeceivcO.
Bomb, Jan. 20,1869 The arrival of a Spanieh
umbasenctor named by tbe provisional government
and who bas not been, and will not bo received
by tbe Pope, as such is the subject of all con
vereation. Hr. Posada Hcrrora teaman of talent,
not diplomatic, as It le the first time ho appears
in that character; that as Minister of the Interior
during O'Donnell's long ministry (for Bpaln)
of five years be distinguished himself.
Therefore one wonders the more that
be shonld place himself in such
a position as that of an unrecognized ambassa
dor by tbis government: and I am assured by a
person well informed that both the Pope and
Antonelli, whom he has visited, have most
politely, but decidedly, made him feel that he is
nere and received by them only as Hr. Posada
Herrera, a Catholic, visiting the Head of the
church. Wbat makes this position more
absurd Is that it is well known that
two other Bpanish ambassadors have been
privately received by Pius IX. and his Prime
Minister—Mr. Catalina as Isabel the Second's
Envoy, and there is also one sent by Charles VII.
And here I may mention that there is a party in
Borne hard at work for thlß gentleman pretender
to the vacant throne of Spain. There Is a regular
Carlißt committee here, and General Tristany,
well-known for having preserved his Carlißt prin
ciples since he fonght In the ranks of the army
of Isabel’s uncle, and, later, helped or tried to
help Francis 11. to return to his Neapolitan
throne by heading the brigands in Calabria, is
here to receive orders.
SPAIN*
Tire Insult to tne Papal Nuncio—His
House surrounded by an Excited
Populace—Demonstration in favor
of Religious freedom—Speech of Ser
rano.
A correspondent writing from Madrid to the
New York Herald says:
I gave yon an acconnt yesterday of the anti
clerical demonstration ot the people of Madrid
on the previous night, In which the palace of tbe
Nuncio would have suffered a great deal bad not
Kivero, the First Alcalde, reached the ground
m time to protect it with volunteers.
Ab it was, the Papal coat of arms
was torn down, dragged through the streets,
acd finally burned in front of the Minister of
Grace and Justice. The Nnncio himself, learning
the feeling of themnUitndc towards himself, very
sensibly found refuge in either the French or
American Legation. He would have suffered if
he had fallen into the hands of the mob, which
was crying “ Death to the Pope,” “Down with
tbe Nnncio," &c., with great vehemence. For
tunately be was not found, and the capital was
spared a scene that weald have tarnished its fame
forever.
Another demonstration was made In front of
tbe residence of the President of the Coancil of
Ministers, Gen. Serrano, and at a time when the
Conncil was in session discuseing matters con
nected with the atrocions assassination of the
civil Governor of Burgos. Beveral thousand
people joined in the manifestation, as it
took place on the Colle do Alcala, one
of the principal streets or the city, and commit
tees were formed to wait upon the Government
and demand the immediate issue of a decree
declaring freedom of worship. The Coancil of
Ministers received the various deputations from
the mdsees, and from the Tertulia Progressists,
and listened attentively to wbat they had to offer,
and finally, when the statements were completed,
the President of the Ministry, General Berrano,
went to the window and addressed the crowd,
Which was crying, “ Viva la Libertad de CuUorl”
Abajo el Papa!" and analogous watch-words.
Generoi Serrano said that the general excite
ment concerning the non-reception of the
Spanish Ambassador, Senor Herrara, by the
Pope, was based on exaggerated reports. Cardi
nal Antonelli had received him, and the Pontifical
Government had accepted the principles of the
revolution, which had abolished certain eccle
siastical laws; that the dignity of„ Spain was in
safe hande and had not suffered at all; and, in all
cases, he assured the people that the govern
ment’s faithful guardians of the national
honor would treat the representative from
Borne in the same manner that the
Spanish Ambassador had been treated.
Respecting the courts of Burgos, originating
also in public excitement, the government has
seen to it,and knew from repeated telegrams that
the council of war whicn hud charge of the canse
was proceeding with the greatest rapidity
towards its solution; that the government was
disposed to be inexorable in the treatment of the
authors of so horrible a crime; that seventy-one
persons were in arrest among the church offi
cials, and the law shonld be strictly carried onu
With respect to Ihe question of liberty of worship,
question grave, complex and transcendental, tbe
government had studied it, and lookiag
over the entire field had concluded to submit it
to the decision of the Cortes, u body just elected
by universal suffrage, and expressing the free
will‘lot the people; that one ol the first bases of
the constitution tbe Provisional government pro
posed to submit to the Cortes was that of lib
erty of worship. The government had given to
Bpain the broadest libtrty, and it had officially
and solemnly manifested to the chiefs of the He
brews in London, Hamburg, Amsterdam, Bay
onne, &c., that they had abolished tbe edict of
Philip 111,, made in 1496, expelling the
Jews. They had authorized the erection of Pro
testant churches in Spain, and religions services
of that cbnrch had been observed In Madrid re
cently. Referring to the church opened last Sun
day, with a congregation of Spanish Protestants,
two hnndred and fifty in number—a fact, if un
noticed by the Liberals, not unobserved by tbe
Nationalists, all the kinds of religious faith might
be enjoyed here that are eDjoyed in any civilized
nation, and Spain had tine liberty of worship
to-day, and not toleration, as tbe enemies of the
government said. He combatted the idea of the
possibility of tho existence of a free church in a
tree State. It would be dangerous to liberty and
oil that.
How motley Looks.
[Don Piatt in the Cincinnati Commercial.]
I was introduced to this celebrity on Friday last,
and wob quite taken aback by the personal get-up
of the great historian. I had thrown on my
mental canvas a delicate, slender man, with a
student’s stoop to his shoulders, and was quite
surprised to find a stout, healthy gentlemau, of
square shoulders, reasonable digestive appara
tus, standing something over the medium
height, solidly on hid heuls, as if he
were something of a man of the world, iuclined
to adipose, and liable to debt. Hia face Ib a good
dinner face, with well regulated features, out of

GRANT’S CABINET.
More Speculation—Efforts of New
Yorkers—An Untruthful Report*
The Washington correspondent of the Boston
A tlverliter says :
Tho New Yorkers are over here in full force to
do what they can to aid General Grant in select
ing hie cabinet. Most of them are of the Fenton
stripe politically, ana they present General
Sickles lor the War Department on one hand,
und John Cochrane for the Attorney-General’s
office on the other. They have not yet ventured
io lay their case before General Grant, and are a
good deal troubled by a rumor or the impression
(hat Judge Edwards Pierrepont is the coming
man tor the Cabinet from their Slate. Ex-
Governor Fish aud Mr. Evarts for the Stale
Department, and Special Commissioner Wells
and Henry Clews, the banker, for the Treasury
Department, aie the other names mentioned ia
connection with the cabinet from New York, but
nobody pretends to know anything about the
mutter. General Granl himself made a declara
tion in conversation, this morning, which will
coubtiess esse the sensitive sonls of those who
ft ur that he may take a Democrat or two 1 in his
Cabinet. He said that if he were a Republican
Senator, and a Democratic President were to se
lect a Democratic Cabinet, he should vote for
tbelr confirmation; but if under similar circum
stances a President elected by the Republican
party should select Democratic advisers, he would
think he tailed in doing his duty if be did not
vote lor their rejection. It Is thought that this
remark may be taken as conclusive by even tbe
most stubborn who profess to believe General
Grout wanting in sympathy with the Republican
party, though after all it is no stronger than his
declaration the other day that the members of
his Cabinet would be gentlemen who supported
the administration during the war and the Con
gressional policy of reconstruction since the war.
It seems advisable, while on this subject, to char
acterize as wholly unfounded the paragraph go
ing the rounds of the newspapers which says that
it is customary for the President elect to allow
the Vice President elect to name one member or
the Cabinet and that Mr. Colfax has accordingly
rtketed Mr. John D. Delrees, the Congressional
primer. There never has been such a custom,
the Vice President having no voice whatever in
Cabinet-making. The relations between General
Giant and Mr. Colfax are extremely cordial, and
the General has probably talked with his associate
about Cabinet matters, bnt Mr. Colfax Is known
to hold that the selection of confidential advisers
is peculiarly the President’s affair, and he has
neither urged nor asked the appointment of any
body. The friends of ex-Senator Creßswell of
Maryland were circulating a recommendation In
his favor to-day through the House, but it did not
receive many signatures.
Applicants for Office- General Grant’s
Opinion of Uecommendationg,
The Washington correspondent of the New
York Time.i says:
A few simple-minded men, with no clear idea
ot bow to seek or to fill an office, are to be seen
about the hotels, ns of old, armed with recom
mendations and soliciting additional signatures.
But as a rule it is remarked that the place
hunters are few, or at least more than usually
discreet, and keep quiet for the present. The
unfortunate ones get negative replies to their
applications for more signatures. “I have not
put pen to paper in favor of anyone,” said a
prominent Nuw York politician to-day to one of
these petitioners. “ You will only damage your
sell and friends by any application at this time.”
Here is one reform which Gen. Grant has already
Introduced ; and judging by the care and timidity
with which recommenaadons are signed, they
will, under Grant, mean more than they do now.
Servants’ and place-hunters’ recommendations,
like brevet commissions, have grown to be very
meaningless.
Gen. Grant learned the folly of cheap recom
mendations daring the war by a sad experience.
Gen. Hillyer relates that shortly after the fall
of Vicksburg a surgeon of an Illinois regiment,
who had won his (tUllyer’s) affections by somo
means, complaiued to him of the unpleasantness
of a non-combatant's position to a man of pe
culiarly belligerent disposition like himself, and
rt quested him as a favor to recommend him for
some position where he could do a little fighting.
Hillyer was delighted at tho opportunity to re
commend such a fighting doctor, and at the fur
ther suggestion and request of tho surgeon pro
mised to get Gen. Grant’s signature to the same.
And did, too, Gen. Grant saying, “I do this,
Hillvcr, on your recommendation; you know
all about tho man ?" The assurance was given,
and the signature was appended. Nothing was
beard of tho matter again until Gon. Grant came
East, and was in want of a few General
officers. On his application Sir. Stanton sent
him, among others, Brig.-Gen. , the former
surgeoD. Grant soon found he could not drill a
regiment, and with considerable feeling demanded
of Sir. Stanton to know why he bad sent him
such a man. Mr. Stanton, in reply, showed thu
recommendation signed U. 8. Grant. There
could bo no reply, and much mortified, Grant
turned away. Since that time recommendations
have meant moro to him than ever.
