WASHINGTON. Gen. Grant's Cabinet Still the Great Subject of Speculation. The Politicians Still Baffled by the General's Reticence. Humors and Counter-Rumors Thick as Autuma Leaves.

Caucus ol Republican Members of the Honse. Official Programme of the Inauguration Ceremonies. pselaJ DUpateses to the stew-York Time. WuntKOTOii, Tuesday. March J.

Obi net rumors etUl thicken the air, despite the fact that everybody know that nobody know anything about the matter but Gen. Oka T. People will peculate, pie, and predict, and correspondent are compelled to take cognizance of such material In the absence of anything more reliable. The mystery of the Cabinet Is regarded on all hands a the best kept State secret in the country history. To-night there eoinea a nervous rumor that Joiiii A.

Dix is to be Secretary of State, then a conjecture that Piekrepont will be Attorney-General, forgetting that If anything goes to New-York, It niuet foe. In the nature of things, either the Plate or the Treasury. Hamilton Fish Is set up as the figure-head of the A dminis! ration a dozen times a day, and as often taken down. The nunies of Griswold, Miib-qam and Commissioner Well still palpitate pon the air. The tatter's stock has suddenly taken a turn upward, but nobody knows the reason, unless that he cannot be persuaded to go and talk to Gbakt at present on any subject.

Boutwkll and Hooper loom np In the uncertain future a dozen times a day, but without object or purpose. All is still locked In the bosom the wonderful little man whose immobile features and expression are adjunct of safety to the country. Only three more days of waiting before this racking curiosity Is satisfied. Gen. Grant has suggested the idea in recent conversation that the throe leading Customs Revenue offices at New-Turk are national In their character, and that not alone New-York, bnt the whole country are interested in their administration.

If Gen. Grant should act upon this idea, the country need not be surprised to see these offices filled by a selection of one from the City, one from the State, and one from the country at large. I have reason to believe that these offices will receive very early attention. Although It has been freely stated that Mr. Johnson has uotitled Gen.

Grant of his willingness to participate to the usual extent in the inauguration ceremonies, it is nevertheless not true. Gen. Grant has not received any such intimation, and his action will not be subject to any change because' of the reception or non-reception of such an intimation. He will ride to the Capitol with his staff. Gen.

Grant has finished his inaugural address. It covers six pages of letter paper, and is estimated to he of about the same length as that of Mr. Lincoln In 155. Nothing definite concerning Its tenor has transpired, except that it will urge the ratification of the Constitutional Suffrage Amendment and the payment of the public debt in coin. There are some absurd stories afloat that he will take a threatening position on the Alabama claims question, but they are fomented for a pa rely sensational purpose.

He will read the address from a manuscript copy, which will Immediately be furnished to the Press. Most of the prominent arriving here are delighted at the discomfiture of Ccm-riN. One- of them stated that the Mc-Clure-Curtin programme was to get control of the Indian ring. Cuktin was to go in as Secretary of the Interior, and McCLURB was to be Indian Commissioner. Mr.

McClurb only lately returned from the Indian country and his Montana mines, whose richness he has been extensively advertising in the columns of one of your contemitoraries, and has been attempting all through Pennsylvania biaold game of diction. Oen. Grant has decided that upon taking the oath of office as President, his com mW ion as General becomes vacant without the formality a resignation. upon Oils determination be will on Friday, simultaneously with the nomination of his Cabinet, send to the Senate the tiaiue of Lieut-Gen. Sherman for the vacant post of General.

I do not understand that the filling the vacancies below this grade consequent npon this promotion has yet been determined upon. If It should be, the Impression prevails that Major-Gen. 8hi.ru an will receive the promotion of Lieuten ant-General. Gov. A.

Stlckbridge and Camp, of called pon Gen. Grant to-day, and were presented by Major-Gen. J. J. Reynolds.

Got. Hamilton, in behalf of the Texan, congratulated Oen. Grant and the-eonntry at large, and the Sowth In particular, upon his election, and assured him that the Texas Convention had presented a good Constitution to the people, and he had no doubt of Its ratification, and that Texas would thus soon be restored to the Union. Oen. Grant expressed till gratification, and said that he thought Gen.

Cakbt was an excellent officer, bnt be felt It due to Gen. Reynolds to restore the latter to his command. The Texans were well pleased with their Interview. They are all opposed to a division of the State. tub Tuvut-or-omcB box repeal defeated.

The repeal of the Trnare-of-Offlce act, which, tor this session, at least, was supposed to have received Its quietus by the caucus a few flays go, was defeated to-night la the Senate by only four majority the veto standing for to against it. -While too Legislative Executive and Judicial Appropriation bin was under consideration. Mr. Morton sprung the a est ion on the Senate la the form of an amendment to the bUL Objection was promptly made by Fxrrt and Howard that It was not order, because it was not germane to the subject under consideration. This technicality afforded some Senators an opportunity to vote against it.

Mr. Wadh ruled that it was tn order. Mr. Coxklt-g demanded the yeas and nays, and by Implication commented arrastic-ntty on the ruling of the Mr. Trum-W nppooon to tt on too ground that It could not be voted without long debate, which would have the effect of kM-ingoaT the Appropriation bUlj bug Mr.

Morton retorted that the taking of the -vete would not occupy five minute. Mr. Sumnkb then Jumped np with an amendment to the amendment, which was simply the old modification, bnt this van Toted down. The question then recurred on Mr. Morton's ameodmeat to repeal it bmo, with the above result.

The gaHertee were crowded at he tune, and Tory groat interest wan msalfosteil tn the Chamber. The rare to-night showed that too feeilng in of the total repeal has stained strength within the' Usrt few day, so that It will, in all probability, bfe swept from the statute books during the earlj- davs of the next Congress. Gen. Butleb was in the Senate while the vote was being taken, and from the number of Senators who had paired it was very evident that there had been some canvassing on the subject beforehand. A dispaVcb was received here to-day by Hon.

Thomas Fiti member-elect from Nevada, stating that the Constitutional Amendment hitd been ratified by the Senate and Assembly of th -t State by a vote of 13 to in the former body, and of to II In the latter. The Army Appropriation bill was taken up in the Senate this evening, and with it the stumbling block of the Massachusetts war claims. After a abort discussion on this subject, the bill was laid aside, and the Executive, Judicial and Legislative Appropriation biU was taken up, and finished about 10:30. There was a lengthy discussion on the subject of the compensation to female clerks In Government employ, and it was decided to allow them the same pay as men for similar work- An efTort to get aa Executive session was made in the Senate this morning, by Sumkck, but it was unsuccessful. THE SPEAKER OF THK HOUSE.

Speaker Colfax will resign his position tomorrow morning. Immediately after the reading of the Journal, and the House will immediately elect Hon. T. M. Pomesot, of New-York, for the remainder of the term.

Aa it is a regular election, the vote must be by ballot, and the usual notification to the President and Senate must follow. The selection protulses to Ik1 unanimous. Mr. Pomerot's retirement from Congress is universally regretted. It is now evident that had he leeu reflected the contest for the Speakership of the Forty-first Congress would never have amounted to an issue.

THE REPUBLICAN KVCV. The Republican caucus of the House to-night was largely attended, members Ising present out of a total Republican strength of 139. Gen. Schenck presided, and Mr. Dawes, lu a very handsome speech, moved the nomination by acclamation of Hon.

James G. Blaine, of Maine, as Speaker of the Forty-first Congress, which was unanimously agreed to. The following officers. comprising all the present Incumbents, were then nominated: Clerks, Edward MoPnicrtsoN 83 votes to 20 for Ecklet. of Ohio, and 30 for McRee, of Kentucky.

Sergeant-at-Arms, N. G. Ordwat 75, to 57 for n. D. Wasiibi-rsb.

Doorkeejier, O. 8. Brueton 98, to 29 for Dr. Collins, of Minnesota. One ballot for Postmaster was had, resulting in 63 for N.

8. King, 6a for Col. Givan, of Iowa, and scattering. The hour of 0 o'clock having arrived, the caucus was interrupted, and the nomination for Postmaster went over until to-morrow morning. The gentlemen selected for the empty honors of the Democratic vote wore, for Speaker Hon.

M. C. Kerr, of Indiana; Clerk, C. W. Carrioax, of Pennsylvania; Sergeant-at-Arms, Owkn Thorn, of Washington: Doorkeeper, David Wagner, of Illinois; Postmaster, W.

8. Misoft, of militia. When the bill of the Senate, repealing the sixth section of the Army Appropriation act of 1867, which prohibits the organization or arming of the Southern militia, was reached, Gen.fPAiNE promptly moved to put it on Its passage, and It went through without a division. This puts the militia In the lately rebellious States on the same footing as in all other States. Mr.

Johnson will sign it. without doubt, because he must do so to be consistent, but he will deplore the result It produces. The House next got at the bill giving the crew of the Hear targe prie money for the destruction of the Alabama. The Senate amendment reducing the amount from tl 90,000 to was non-concucred in, and the bill went to a Committee of Conference. During the evening a large number of bills were disposed of, but none of any special importance.

PASSAGE or THE fCBUC credit bill assured. The Public Credit bill, despite the predictions of its enemies, has. gone to a Committee of Conference, with a good prospect of sueoess. Gen. Schenck carried a suspension of the rules for this purpose, in the House, this morning, by more than a two-thirds vote, and the Speaker appointed Messrs.

Scjokxck. Allison and Niblack. the Committee on the part of the House. In the Senate Messrs. Shebjcax, Willlams and Morton were appointed.

on the Committee. The impression prevails that the Senate will carry their amendment to the first section, and that the seo-ond section will be allowed to stand as It passed the House The passage of the bill la probably assured by this action. A GOOD PAT'S. WORK IN THK ROUSE. The House, did.

a very Important day's work and made rapid progress with business. They finished the Miscellaneous Appropriation bin promptly, and then proceeded to business on the Speaker's table. Among the first bills reached was tho Bank bill, on which such a long contest has been had in both Houses. Contrary to the expectation of some of Its friends, as well as its enemies, It went to a Conference Committee, and It Is probable, after all, that some of its best features may be saved. The bill to prevent the certification of checks was passed as It came from the Senate.

The bill providing the manner and time of making reports by National Banks was sent to a Conference Committee, and It will pass. TUB HOUSB COMMITTEE ON ACCOUNTS. The House Committee on Accounts, Mr. Broomaix Chairman, are assuming aa much power as both branches of Congress combined. It has been supposed that their business was to suspend the disbursements of the Contingent Fund, and see that they were strictly in accordance with the resolution, orders and action of the House, but the Committee go a great deal further, and assume to overrule the discretion of the House.

The most flagrant Instance of the action is the manner in which the Committee has treated the several contestants in the Louisiana election ease. The House passed a resolution to pay Jones, Republican If maud, negro, and Hunt, Democrat, 200 each for expenses incurred in the contest. Toe Committee approve the payment of 12,500 to Jokes, who Is least of all entitled to it, and tell Mbnabd and Hunt that they must be content to take tloo each. TZXAN DELEGATIONS. Two delegations are here from Texas one favoring and the other opposing the proposed dismemberment of the State.

Gen. Rbt-KOLDe, who is to return to command Texas tn a few days, is strongly opposed to tho movement, to-day accompanied the anti-disniemberment delegation to Gen. Grant's headquarters. Gen. Kxtolds baa information that Oen.

Cajtbt has succeeded In arresting several of the members of the Kiuklux xri.n wlo murdered Mr. Gao. W. Bun, a Radical delegate to the Texan CoastituUeaal Convention, and the probabilities are that the whole gang will bo arrested ar forced to leave the State. BSBJENADh TO CARL SCHTTRX.

Carl Rchcrx, the new Senator elect from Missouri, waa aereaaded to-night by the German aootetJea of this city, who turned out in long jsToeeaslan, with banners, torches and music, wit tho Twtfth Infantary band. Mr. ldckh cut madoaaaddreas to Mr. Scncxx, nfter which the latter came forward and made a brief address to auafrlenda, OEJL BANKS' arABTSII BXSOLCTIOJL. When Lbs Senate Joint resolntioa of aynrpethy wtth Spain waa reached.

Gen. Barks offered a remarkable substitute, which sympathises first with Spain, and, second, with tho Cuban revoiu-tionista. Mr. Brooks sharply called attention to tho anomalous position in whicl tola would place the Bonos, but Banks called tho previous quea tioa, and it passed without a division. ,1 MOKMAX WLAJLD TO BE PATD.

Norman Wiard's claim for fUMis. for guns furnished the Navy Department under contract, and afterward refused, waa ronorted this morn- lng by Gen. Schenck from the Joint Committee on Ordnance, and, after explanation, was passed by six majority. The Committee were unanimous In reporting the bill. RESIGNATION OF THE GOVERNOR OF ABDTONA.

Gov. Mccormick, of Arizona, delegate elect to the Forty-first Congress, tendered his resignation as Governor of that Territory to-day. Dispatches to the Associated Press. Washinotow, Tuesday, March I. president joh.vson's farewell reception.

Whatever may have been the motive that induced the attendance, it is certain that President Johnson's farewell reception to-night was the largest that he has held for a long while, not even excepting his New-Year receptions; from the time the doors were opened at 8 o'clock, until after midnight, the crowd poured through the balls and paid their respects to the Chief Magistrate of the nation whose term Is so soon to expire. The throng in attendance embraced every class and condition In life and society, arrayed in every style of drees. While of course the unusual crowd was to be attributed to some extent to the great number of strangers in the city there were hundreds of distinguished residents and citizens of Washington present, and many occupying official stations. The Democratic members of Congress nearly all there were more Republican members present than upon any previous occasion during tho last two years. The toilets of the ladies were rich, and there was aa much gaiety as has been witnessed at a Presidential reception.

The scene In the East Room during the promenade was grand, the only obstruction being the crowd, which was too great for comort or satisfactory enjoyment. The President seemed to be good spirits, and was constantly engaged in shaking hands with those who had availed themselves of the occasion to bid him farewell. FAI1KWELL CABINET MEKTINO, The last Cabinet meeting under the present Administration was held to-day. The uiemlters were all present PRINCE EDWARD'S ISLAND RF.CIPROCITT. Oen.

Brrri-EB to-dny made a rejiort from the Select Committee appointed by a resolution of the Honse In July last in regard to Prince Ed ward's Island. The Committee, In pursuance of Instructions, went to Prince Edward's Island, In the Gulf of St Lawrence, one of the colonial dependencies of Great Britain, arriv at CbarlottctoWn on the 29th of August. They found there every disposition to aid them in an Investigation, and to meet them in terms of most liberal spirit, so far as was In their power. They met a portion of the Execu tive Council, and exchanged their views as to hat was desirable by both parties. In conclusion, the' Committee say they desire thus publicly to express their sensibility of the courtesy, kindness and hospitality with which they were received and treated by the people of Prince Edward's Island and its authorities.

They returned thence deeply impressed with the desirableness of the promotion of reciprocal trade between the island and the United States, with no doubt of its feasibility, and had it been within the scope of their instructions have reported a bill to carry out that ob ject, But they have no doubt that tho subject will receive that consideration of the Committee on Commerce to which it is entitled. The report is signed by Mr. Butler, of Massachusetts Mr, Poland, of Vermont, and Mr. Beck, of Ken tucky. FAREWELL M-EETTNO OF RETIRING CONGRESSMEN.

Washington, Tuesday, March 3. 1 Senator Bcckalew to-day made a report from the Select Committee on representative reform. The bill referred to them, and now reported, proposes to secure fair and complete representation to every important political Interest in the country to strike an effectual blow at the corruptions In popular elections to secure more harmony and contentment than now exists among the people, and to Improve the composition of the popular branch of Congress by facilitating the Introduction and continuance of men of ability and merit in that body. The plan is as follows: Representatives being assigned to a State under the cotistirational mode of distribution, each elector in the State shall possess as many votes as there are representatives to be chosen. He shall possess his due and equal share of elee-toral power as a member of the political body or State, it is next proposed that the elector shall exercise this right of suffrage according to his own judgment and dtscretloa.

and without ronv pulsion of law. Ho shall bestow or distribute bis votes upon or among candidates with en-tiro freedom, and shall be relieved from the legal restraint to which he haa been heretofore subjected. He may select his candidate or candidates anywhere within the limits of his State from all its qualified citi-cens, and he may exert his political power upon the general representation or his State, Instead of the representation of a particular district wltliin it. Here is questionably a large and valuable extension of privilege to the citizens from him of Inconvenient and odious restraint, and a more complete application of that principle of self-wenment npon which our political Institutions are founded and what is material fur consideration is. that while all the ad vantages of a plan of election by general ticket are securedaU its Inconvenience and evils are avoided.

The Committee examine this subject at length, arguing the unrestricted vote 1 In strict conformity with Decaocratio principles, and realises mora perfectly onr Ideas of popular government, for by it the Whole mass OI eusewxm aiw orougnt into direct relations with the Government, and jr- .4 l.vl. with that department or branch of UOT- if sot. la dlniltT. wBKa jbun um taws.

Six heavy trains have arrived from New-York, and more are reported coming.

The number to arrive to-morrow and Thursday morning will add vastly to the attendance here, which promises to equal, if it does not exceed, that of 1861. The chief feature about the -visitors is the very large proportion who have come for personal enjoyment, the office-seekers being in a very decided minority. As a consequence, there will be a great pressure for two or three days, after which Washington will be again quite comfortable. Cold Spring, Tuesday, March 2. Gen.

Morgan asked the Chairman of the Committee on Appropriations to yield the floor long enough to take up and pass the bill to prohibit secret sales of gold, but Mr. MORRILL, of Maine, declined to do so. The pending amendment was that ottered Mr. Sumner, providing for the payeat of the claim of Massachusetts and Maine tor the inter- npon the advances made for the General Gevern-ment In the war of 1813 and 1814- UtOISLATIVB APPROPRIATIONS. After a brief discussion the bin waa laid over.

tiu Rsns tnnk nn tu Mil maklna? ap propriations for the legislative, executive, and Judicial expenses of the Government for tho cur rent nscai year. Several amendments were reported by the Committee on Appropriations, and were agreed to. Mr. Morrill, of Vermont, moved to strike out the clause providing that female clerks In the Departments shall receive equal paywlth male clerks when they do equal work. He said tho result of a previous increase of the compensation, and an In creese af female clerks, had been to greatly multiply the number of applicants for sacn place, ana preaictea tnat uao ure now proposed were made it would result In the abandonment of tho employment of female eierka alucether.

Rmiuit NI-- WITT L. thouKht It Just that clerks of both sexes doing equal work Mr. rEBBT teoa. tae same new. Mr.

Howe aaki the reason why female clerks mra not paid as much bv tho Government as mala clerks waa because, under the existing or- gaalxatton or society, their labor ooes ao mand anywhere aa high pay as the tabor of male clerks. This general equality could not do removed by raising the pay of tie female clerks la the employ oi tne uoveraixieut. Mr. Trlmbcll read from the acts regnlaang tho employment and pay of clerks in the Depart-f show the dlcninaana made against fenialea. andagaia onred the Justice of paying them the same as males.

Mr. Morrill, of Vermont, moved to strike oat the section. Lost by yeas is, nays S3.

Mr. Ft.krt offered an amendment which waa adopted, and which leaves the provision in this form: "The compensation of the female clerks employed in the severaldepartments of the Gov. ernment, and performing clerical duties, shall be the same as that of the male clerks of the same class, and female counters and copyists shall receive the same compensation as male counter, and copyists performing the same description of rncea. One of the amendments pro posed hr the Com mittee was to increase the salary of the Treas urer oi tne unitea Ptaies to bhmu. several seasr tors opposed tae Increase.

Mr. Febsekden spoke of the great responsibility resting upon the Treasurer, and favored the increase. Mr. Authont said that to his own Knowledge the present Treasurer had been urged to aooept a position In Mew-York at 10.000 a rear. Mr.

Trumbull denied that that was a good reason lor increaslna his salary, xne salary waa to be fixed for the office, and not for the Indi vidual. There were other ofneers in the employ of the Government who could make more money in private life, but the Government was not bound, therefore, to increase their pay. Mr. Nte favored the amendment. Mr.

Grimes opposed it The amendment waa then rejected yeas 19, nays 25. Mr. Sherman moved an amendment, which was agreed to, providing that the Commissioner of internal nevrnne snouia not no requirra to give bonds. Mr. Sherman gave as a reason for this amendment under existing law, that the Commissioner does not have to receive any of the publie money.

An amendment increasing the appropriation for salaries andexitensesof Collectors, Assessors, Assistant Assessors, from to ta.ooo,- 000 was asTeefl to. An amendment appropriating Bft.ono to enable the Secretary of the Interior to fulfill the eon- tract with Miss vinnib i.eam. for a statue oi tne late President Lincoln, gave rise to some dis cussion. Mr. Sttmnkr Inquired of the Chairman of the Committee on Appropriations whether there waa not some means of setting rid of the contract and the obligation to pay an additional ts.oro, for a statue which, when completed.

Congress would probably be unwilling to place in the Capitol. Mr. Howard was not quite satisfied that the Government was bound by contract to pay this $3,000 at this time.
