FROM WASMENGT0N.
WASHINGTON, March l3, 1866.
THE LOUISIANA DELEG ALTON.
The commissioners from our State remained here
until after the cabinet meeting to-day, and accord
| ing to previous appointment, were honored by an.
| other interview with the President. At former |
| audiences Mr.. Johnson had not entertained any |
| fixed opinions the proper policy with reference
to State local affairs. Mr. Seward, however was
rather dsinclined to favor the calling of conven-
ton. The result of the last interviews was a to-
tally different impression the predispostion OF the
Executive and his advisers had undergone change,
and an ultimate decision in favor of convention
seemed exceedingly probable. Under these cir
cumstances, the delegation anxious to reach New
Orleans some time before the adjournment on the
23d inst, left Washington this evening, The Pres
ident intended to communicate with Gov. Wells by
telegram, and the commissioners would probably
receive final response from the White House, on
reaching Cairo. The interview with Secretary
Stanton was long and satisfactory; not a single
contretemps occurred during the stay Of the dele
CATION; their coming was opportune for the inter
ests Of the State, and their departure has been re-
gretted by all those with whom they came in con
tact. S1r. johnson expressed to various friends
the pleasure which the interview afforded him
&C They are very intelligent gentlemen; they are
. fine men, and was pleased to meet them' were
the words of the President with reference to the
Louisianians. It may have been polite towards
J. Northern opinion to delay the convention settle
l. ment, but the inert course of the radicals with
reference to the execution Of their own scheme OF
It reconstruction, as in the of Texas organ
T. izing State government without the interference
of Congress- has determined the executive authori-
8 ties to adopt uniform system of local machinery
}, throughout the South.
l. 1t is evident that eX Governor Hahn, as Vice
% President of the Universal Free Suffrage 4ssocia
ton does not represent the sentiments of the
lie people of Louisiana, and it is manifesty unfair to
our State to continue her under an Inferior organ
,e zaton to the other Southern States. Besides, ii
view of the early proclamation announcing the ter
,e minaton of the war, and the restoration of civi
law it is advisable for every member of the Unior
to obtain full and free expression of her poitca
es feeling. Mr.. Lncolns system.w the best for 8
,e time of war; Mr.. Johnson's the most impartial fo
a period of peace. Congress has not adopted any
system of reorganization, or even a direct plan Of
destruction. Why do they not declare Texas
under the provisional empire of the national legis
T. lature? The President, unmindfu of the impracti
cal palaver at this end of the avenue" will pro
20 ceed to reorganize the States under system
NC which in the exercise of his official duties, may
0o seem the fairest and most eXpedient. DR.. Cott

Our efficient State Treasurer, Hon. Adam Giffen
has been exercising his usual diligence in the dis
charge of his official duties. He has informed u
