*4 (She Wheeling |3|| 3ttfallidfti far to complete the political regeneration of Washington city. And this calls up the question as to how far backward, towards the old order of things, the ?'ity Would have receded had the power of the Government jflssed this time into the hands of the Democratic party. Wo ,,ttw two years ago something of *hat might be expected under such circumstancet, at the time the lower house of Congress became Democratic, and a multitude of oflice seekers came swarming to Washington from all parts of the South?These office seekers were not the best men of the South, but the Hamble. tons and Fltzhugbs, men whom public opinion finally compelled the Democracy to drop from the pay rolls. Had Mr. wicic ib iiu uenymg me i?ci that something very ittrictive?attractive almost to the point of enchantmenthas been left to show for the princely sums that have been spent. In the days of slavery before the war, and in the transition period during and following the war, Washington seemed to be an abortive sort of a city?a metropolis only in name?a place in the improvement and beau tificat ion of which no body had any real interest. The costly public buildings instead of being like gems tfot in "pictures of silver/' receiving and conferring beauty, were, oh some one said about St. Peter'a at Home/'stately piles out of place"?a great swamp pen- , etrateil by a malarious canal on one aide, it nil a dreary waste of goose pasture on the other. All thin lion been changed. Washington in now a city in which every American can take pride. It is not only asdinning metropolitan proportions, but it can boast of parks, avenues, drive*, fountains, statuary, private residence* and architectural adornments of the most attractive and heartsome character. In many reaped* Washington is symbolical of the great changes that have come to the whole country by reason of the war-?changes that have their drawbacks and dark sides, but that have on the whole immensely benefitted the country. Any one can see that a great future is iu store for a city capable of such indefinite extension and improvement, and that pari passu with the growth Tilden came in Instead of Hayes, we should hate teen a ruih on Waahington such as hai never been witnessed since the founding of the government, and once more all the departments, including the local government of Washington, would have passed Into the control of the present recunant and irreooncilable element 4n the South and their Northern allies, and this element would once more have given a strong sectional tone to sooiety in the National Capital. The tim& has not come for such a sweeping change as would have followed Mr. Tilden's acccession to power. The present half way men of the South, such as Ben Hill and Lamar, would have been swept out of power as traitors to their section, and the old rsmpant element would have come to the front*, the same as in the days of James Buchanan, for Mr. Tilden holds views more decidedly in sympathy with the secession element in the South than Buchanan ever did. Therefore we hail, as a happy deliverance, the fact that four more years, with all their changes and modifications, must pans away before there can be s change for the worne, and by that time we hope to see the good seed that President Hayes will sow spring up and bear fruit so abundantly in the South that no odds what party gains control of the government the administration will be thoroughly national. Tlii* bring* u* to speak of the new President and hix lirnl Htep*. There were those iu Washington last week, both in and out of Congress, who were inclined to antagonize hi* Cabinet selections, especially the selection of a Southern Democrat tor" the PostmasterGeneralship, on the ground that the Republican party was to be Johnsoni/ed at the very start. Theae persons wanted Hayes to select a strict party Cabinet and administer the government on a strict party basis. They apparently had an idea that he attached no serious meaning to his letter of acceptance lant July, nor to hitt reaffirmation of that letter in his inaugural. Their principal conception of what a change of administration should involve at a timo like this, wan confined to a change o( office holders?a turning out of Grant uien and the putting in of Hayea men. Hence the idea of putting a Southern Democrat into Hie Cabinet in pursuance of the new Presidents emphatic expression in favor ot a policy of pacification, and of an adherence to his espousal of civil service reform, ax was indicated by the selection of such a man as Schurz, shocked the tender sensibilities of a number of theseKepublicanPhariaees, and almost convinced them that a great mistake had been made in the selection . of a President. Had it been Bristow instead of Hayes who sent in the name of Key as his Poatmaster-General, we should have heard in still more decided and indignant tones the story of the Johnsonization of the Republican party. The idea of putting the post offices of the country under the guardianship of the successor of Andy Johnson in the United States Senate was something apalling to a good many Republicans, i?id they did not hesitate to say so. They had visions of an entire change in the service, a general expulsion of Republicans and a wholesale refilling with Johnson Democrats. These peopte did not stop to think that, in tho first place there is to be no general turning out of oflice by this administration, and, in the next, that the President did not appoint Mr. Key until he had first explained.to him his views of the proper Southern policy to be pursued, and learned from him in return thathiB views were in substantial accord with his own. The President did not pick Mr. Key up at random. He had informed himself as to his course in the Senate and as to his antecedents before he became a member of that body, and satisfied himself that he was the sort of a man he was in quest of at the South. The resolutions published in to-day's dispatches, passed by the Cotton Exchange of Memphis, in regard to the appointment of Mr. Key, show that the President has found a man who commands the confidence of the best element among the Democrats of Tennessee. His selection ot such a man shows to them, and to all well affected Democrat* throughout the South, that he has no policy towards that section that he is afraid to constantly disclose to a Southern man in his Cabinet. The idea that prevails at Washington among the best informed public men is that the President intends to open wide the gaieH iu me ueai men in me sou ill, 10 come inside the Kepublicao party and make of it a national organization in the fullest sen*e of the word, not only in theory but in actual practice. There in every reason to believe that the President has already had an extensive correspondence with souie of the most influential men of the South to thiM end, and that he has received such assurances^ will cause hiui tojhape the policy of his administration resolutely in such a direction. Hill and Lamar, and other men of influence who put themselves in the late contest squarely against the filibusters, will be the men who will share the confidence of the President and co-operate with bim in the good work of conferring lasting peace and prosperity upon the South. The wicker coffin for burial purposes is meeting with favor in England, and the manufacture of sucK cases ia being carried on to a considerable extent. The advantage gained by their uae ia that of a speedier assimilation of the body with it* parent earth without the revolting and long delayed featering process of decomposition peculiar to the enclosure in a tight box, case or coffin. The idea is far more pleasant to many that what remains of the form after the change of dissolution should bv the subtle alchemy of nature be a? speedily as possible transferred to the substance of flowers and verdure rather than remain, even though unseen, a spectacle which the imagination must shudder at contemplating. The cheapness of the custom is another recommendation, for the average expense of a dead man's coffin will feed a live one for several months. Iglealas and Parly.

MxMrms, March 10.?The Cotton Exchange meeting to-day wss one of the largest and most thoroughly representative gatherings of the best business men, cap* italists and merchants, ever held in this city. Nearly all present were Democrat*. In spite of the fact that a very ablespoccli was made by one of our most eloquent and upright* orators, urging a delay of actiou. the meeting enthusiastically endorsed the conciliatorv measures promioed in President Hayes'inaugural, as well as the broad national grounds he has enunciated since he occupied the Presidential chair. The action of .the meeting in endorsing the Administration, and also the President's new Cabinet, was almost unanimously carried, only three dissenting voices being heard. Ex-National Senator David M. Key is very popular in this end of Tennessee, and during the late canvass he made the best speech heard here in behalf of Til den. It was scholarly and sensible, free from vituperation and abuse, and won liim many friends; and his appointment to the Cabinet is regarded by the Southern people as a most favorable feature. They look forward in the hope of a policy even more liberal than that already indicated. Of the Qommittee on Resolutions, live of the seven were ex-rebel soldierp; of those who spoke in favor of the objects of the meeting three were ex-rebel aoldier?, and the two who spoke against the resolution were citizens, who never served in either the Northern or Southern armies. Wm. A.Goodwin presided, and speeches were made by several prominent men. A committee was appointed to draft resolutions expressing the sentiments ol the business men on the subject, who reported a preamble and resolutions to the efl'ect that Whereas, The members, without committing themselves to the legality or fairness of the means or methods by which Rutherford 13.

Washington, March 11 ..-Senator Morton will make an effort to have the case of Kellogg, claiming a seat as Senator from Louisiana, acted qp at this sesaion of the Senate, and the impreaaion prevails that a favorable report on hia case will be made by a majority of the Committee on Privileges and Elections on Tuesday next. It is not certain, however, ,n that the Senate will agree to act on the ntj case now, a* a number of the Uepubn. lican Senators prefer' to let the matter , A rent for tho present, rather than take any a. action upon the Louisiana question, {0 which might be euibarrassiug to the adn* ministration, when by permitting the c.
