Rarch 14. 1H77. The Cabinet Appointments. From the following telegram,it seems that the Commission President is not to he “handled” as easily as Morton, Blaine and their cohorts imagined. In fact, they are doubtful whether his name is Hayes or Andy Johnson! Washington, March 7. — The long looked for Cabinet has at last been an nounced. The President to-day sent the following nominations to the Senate: Secretary of State—Wm. M. Evarts, of New York. Secretary of the Treasury— John Sher man, of Ohio. Postmaster-General — David M. Key, of Tennessee. Secretary of the Navy— Richard W. Thompson, of Indiana. Secretary of thelnterior-CARi, Schurz, of Missouri. Secretary of War—Geo. W. McCrary, of lowa. Attorney-General — Charles Devins, of Massachusetts*. The appointments are generally con ceded to be conservative, and the ultra Radicals are highly incensed at the President, Cameron going so far as to say, “ We had better have had Tilden.” Tiie nominations, instead of being con firmed by the Senate as has been the custom, were referred to a committee. This was done in order to give the Re publicans time to consider what they ought to do under the circumstances. The President seems to be determined not to make any changes in the appoint ments, and his course thus far is quite conciliatory aud commeudable. South Carolina and Louisiana. The situation in these States is about the same, hut a gleam of hope now cheer the patriots, as the indicated policy of Hayes is to withdraw the troops aud let each government stand on its own merit. This will be a virtual recogni tion of the Hampton and Nicholes governments. The ultra Radicals urge that this would be a tacit confession that Hayes did not receive these votes, and consequently was not elected, and would give Tilden grounds for a case. This is a logical conclusion. But Hayes was not elected by the States' votes —don't forget that. He was elected by the Electoral Commission, which, though a new aud novel way, seems to be very efficient. The Inaugural Address. Upon the inaugural address, the views of' the Charleston Journal of Commerce are so in accord with our own that we reproduce them in our editorial column: The inaugural address is a well-writ ten, fair-spokeu and, outhe whole, judi cious paper. Of course, there are opin ions and suggestions we cannot endorse. But the general tenor of the sentiments and policy, so far as the South is con cerned, are liberal aud conservative. The President “ repeats what was said before the electiou.” He seeks “the permanent pacification of the country and for the South “ the inestimable bless iug of wise, honest and peaceful local self-government ” —“ the imperative ne cessity, required by all the varied inter ests, public and private, of those States.” He considers the question one “of gov ernment or no government; of social order aud all the peaceful industries and the happiness that belong to it, or a re turn to barbarism.” If we are to construe what all this means, it is very good. What President Hayes may mean by it, we will shortly learn. He concludes this portion of his address by the assurance of “ his best efibrts in behalf of civil policy which will forever wipe out, in our political affairs, the color line, and the distinction be tween North and South, to the end that we may have, not merely a united North and South, hut a united country.” These are good sentiments to read, but their practical! accomplishment is another and a very different thing. It can never be brought about on the principles and policy which have governed the Repub lican party. It may not he effected by any efforts to Radicalise the South by the appointment of Southern men to office under a Radical Administration. A total change in the course of the Go vernment of the United States in respect to “ the constraint of force,” accompan ied by a strict observance of the Consti tution and the laws and genuine reform and economy in the civil service—these would once more establish free govern ment and unite the country. Nothing else can. The recommendations touching re form, and the change of the term of the Presidential office to six years and for bidding a re-election, are excellent and will meet a large approval. Also, the Monroe doctrine, of non-interference in the affairs of foreign nations, and the advocacy of a return to specie payment. Let President llaykh now work up to his general utterances. Jlis Cabinet appointments will be the best indication of how he will carry them out in con duct. *** The State Agricultural Society. This body met in Millcdgeville on the 6th inst. There were a large number of delegates present. The meeting was an interesting and profitable one. Gov. Colquitt delivered his farewell address, and Col. Thomas Hakdiman, jr., was elected to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Gov. Colquitt. tk&'" Chief Justice Moses, of South Carolina is dead. He was a lawyer of line abilities, aud his rulings generally fair and equitable. He was a Jew, and the father of F. J. Moses, jr., the prodigal Ex-Governor of South Caro lina. This was an exception to the old adage of “ Like father, like son.” Whnt the I.eartiiiK Ucorgjla Papers Nay Ml’ the InaiiKWrat Allreta. The Chronicle and Sentinel says of Mr. Ilayes, inaugural: “Altogether it is a manly, moderate and statesmanlike ad dress.” This is what the Augusta Constitutional ist has to say about the inaugural: “ Mr. Hayes ” inaugural address does not impress us other than negatively. It seems to be a string of pretty sentiments; but it is a wise old maxim that “ fine words butter no parsnips.” The Atlanta Constitution winds up its editorial on Hayes’ inaugural as follows : “ We await results, neither accepting nor rejecting the assurances contained in the inaugural of General Grant’s successor. The outcome of past promises lias not been satisfactory, and we must therefore be per mitted to mingle apprehensions with any stray gleams of hope that the speech before us may have created.” The Macon Telegraph and Messenger says of the inaugural, “ that it contains a great deal that, in general, is right and proper, but with the single exception of the resumption of specie payments, it com mits him to nothing at all—any more than a general essay on public administration would do. lie goes in for peace and good nature —public honesty—civil service re form—is opposed to political prosecution —deprecates party spirit—wants the peo ple educated, and insists on good manners and politeness in general—but Grant did the same, and then wound up by substan tially outlawing everybody who did not belong to the ring.” The Columbus Enquirer closes editorial on the inaugural in thiswise : “ The whole document may hear Republican or Demo cratic construction, lie harps most on self-government. The Republicans have gassed aad hectored much about this, yet whenever it is to party interest they have, with the arinv. ridden rough shod over State rights. The South has no lot nor stock with Mr. Hayes. All she asks is to be let alone by general government, and she will be governed by justice, wisdom and moderation personified by the men of her choice. Mr. Hayes should be barely suffered by our section—submitted to be cause we are forced—but ever regarding him as one led by fraud and bayonets into a Presidency to which he is not entitled. Those Southern Representatives who made such hot haste to congratulate him on Sat urday, the moment of his arrival, among whom were Hill and Blunt, of Georgia, re call the sycophantic fawning servitors of despotism who, with one breath, exclaim : “ The King is dead !’ and with the next, ‘ Long live the King !’ Those claiming to represent Southern sentiment might have afforded to await a decent time before call ing on a man in an official manner, whom the House has declared not eiected. and we are glad to.note the majority have done so.’ Extract from llaycct’a Inaugural Add rows The evils which afflict the Southern States can only be removed or remedied by the united and harmonious efforts of both races, actuated by motives of mutual sym pathy and regard : and while in duty bound and fully determined to protect the rights j of all. by e very constitutional means at the dis|>osal of my administration, 1 am sin cerely anxious to use every legitimate in tiuence in favor of honest and efficient lo cal self-government, as the true resource of those States for the promotion of the con tentment and prosperity of their citizens. In the effort I shall make to accomplish this purpose. I ask the cordial co-operation of all who cherish an interest in the wel fare of the country, trusting that party ties and the prejudice of race will he irecly surrendered in behalf of the great purpose to he accomplished. fn the important work of restoring the South, it is not the political situation alone that merits attention. The material devel opment of that section of the country has been arrested by the social and political revolution through which it has passed, and now needs ami deserves the consider ate care of the national government, within the just limits prescribed by the constitu tion and wise public economy; hut at the basis of all prosperity, for* tfiat as well as for every other part of the country, lies the improvement of the intellectual and moral condition of the people. I niversal sutl rage should rest upon universal education. To this end liberal and permanent provision should be made for the support of free schools by the-State governments, and if needed, supplemented by legitimate aid from national authority. Let me assure my countrymen of the Southern States that it is my earnest de sire to regard and promote their truest in terests ; the interest of the white and of the colored people both and equally, and to put forth my best efforts in behalf of a civil policy which will forever wipe out, in our political affairs, the color line and the distinction between North and South, to the end that we may have not merely a united North or a united South, but a uni ted country. Cheek. The New York llernhl is in the best of humor with itself. This is about as full of cheek as anything we have seen since the Centennial : Thd sudden mutiny against the new President in his own party, the outcry against his Cabinet, the fierce assaults on lus Southern policy, have so occupied pub lic attention that we have not found it con venient until now to state, with proper em phasis, our warm approval of his senti ments upon a question in which the Her ald has for several years taken a deep in terest, It would not be quite accurate to say that we indorse his views ; the truth is that he has indorsed and adopted ours. We are proud of so distinguish a convert; we congratulate ourselves that not Presi dent Hayes alone, but other statesmen of eminence, may he counted among the dis ciples of the Herald. llcnis of Interest. Judge John Andrews, of Griffin is dead. Tiie Hartwell Sun is one ofthe neat est and best arranged weeklies on our ex change list. —Atlanta Constitution. On the night of the Ist inst., the Carnes ville jail was broken open and the prisoners, three in number, made good their escape. Mr. John Maier, an old and reliable citizen of Atlanta, committed suicide re cently. He committed the fatal deed with an old fashioned three-barrel pistol. The ball entered the roof of his mouth and lodged in the upper part of his brain. The Sprinfield Republican thinks it is a victory to be enjoyed with great sober ness, and it is a defeat that requires more than all the philosophy ofthe average l)em ocatic human nature to accept without protest, to regard without misgiving, or to forget without thoughts of revenge. The Detroit Free Press sneaks of Wells as “ the champion rascal of the nineteenth century.” The Courier-Journal thinks this is rather unjust to Morton, Chandler, Bradley and others, who have done their level best to equal the rascality, of Wells, and it is no fault of theirs if they haven’t surpassed it. In the Senate on the Gth, Blaine of Maine modestly mentioned Mr. Morton's record ; thereat the Indiana Senator feelingly re torted that Brother Blaine need not trouble himself about the record of other men, as he must have all he could do to defend his own. Verily ! truth speaking hath not en tirely departed from Oliver.

Dr. Swet Cox. of Homer, in North Georgia, committed suicide recently by taking morphine and strychnine. He had been absent two days, and his wife sup posed he was absent on professional busi ness. He was found in his office, with his nose and lips eaten by mice—several of which were lying dead near him. They were doubtless killed by the poison on his lips. A New York letter says: “Measures are on foot to bring about a compromise between William M. Tweed and his pros ecutors, by which all civil and criminal proceedings against the former are to be discontinued in consideration of the trans fer by him nominally to the people of the State of New York, but in reality to Peck ham & Cos., Representatives of the attor ney-general—of a certain proportion of what the lawyers and others have left him out of his large fortune. Towards the latter part of the past week it has been confidently stated tnat the Boss was to be released during the present week.” The defeat of the Army hill calls to mind its defeat under similar circumstances twenty years ago. in the long session of the last Congress of Pierce's administration. The House, which was moderately Repub lican. inserted in the bill a section forbid ding tho use of tire army to prevent the people of Kansas from organizing such a State Government as they pleased. '1 he Senate, which was intensely Democratic, struck out this section. The root of the controversy was the establishment or pro hibition of slavery in that Territory, l'he close of the session drew near. Conference committees of the Senate and House con tended long and fiercely over the thorny section. The last committee that wrestled with it and reported the final disagreement, consisted of Douglas, Toombs, and Seward of the Senate, and Lewis I). Campbell. James L. Orr. and Francis E. Spinner, of the House. The hour for adjourning trine die arrived, the hill fell lifeless upon the table, and Pierce was compelled to call an extra session of Congress. Sitting in his library one day. and point ing to an excellent photograph of this com mittee, Gov. Seward, while describing their warm conflict, laughingly remarked : “ Douglas and I did pretty much all the arguing, and Spinner and Toombs pretty much all the swearing. I won’t say how it was about the arguing, but I am sure our side got the best of it in the swearing.” The Cuthhert Appeal says that on Satur day last Mr. Holt, living near Ward's station, lost his little son, about six years old by death. Mrs. Holt, at the time of her child’s death, was in perfect health, but her loss proved more than she could bear. She prayed earnestly that God would take her with her little boy—that she did not wish to live away from him, and at 9 o'clock Sunday morning she was a corpse by the side of her dead child. Just before her death she asked her sister if she would take her infant, a child some six months old, and being informed that she would, retired upon her bed saying, 4 * I will now die,” and expired without a strug gle. She was buried in the grave with her child. B. E. SEABORN, WITH HA R T & C 0., IMPORTERS AND JOBBERS OF HARDWARE, CUTLERY, GUNS, IRON, Steel and Agricultural Implements, CHARLESTON, S.
