GENERAL WASHINGTON DISPATCHES.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20 1874.
CABINET CONSIDERATION OF THE CRISIS IN
LOUISIANA.
The Cabinet was Ia session to-day for nearly an
hour and hail. Secretary Bristow was not pres
ent. the Treasury being represented by Assistant
Secretary Conant. The condition OF affairs In
Louisiana was the only subject OF attention, be-
yond several unimportant matters OF routine pre-.
sented by the various heads OF departments At
torney General Williams made some remarks upon
the necessity, in his opinion, OF the government
sustaining the Returning Board In Its recent
decision. The views OF the Attorney General
we're fully set forth, and although the
members OF the Cabinet decline to give specific
Information regarding the statements presented
by him, his opinions emphatically expressed both
in public and private during the examination by
and since the report ofthe Returning Board, are
known to have been reiterated in the Cabinet
meeting to-day These are that there Is a necessity
for the government sustaining the report OF the Re-
turning Board at all hazards, and that It's decision
is right law and fact. These were asserted at
some length. other than the remarks OF the At
torney General there was no discussion upon the
subject, and no decision OF any character reacned.
1t Is said in high official circles here tnat the
forces of the War Department now In Louisiana
are sufficient to preserve the public peace and
dignity should their violation pc threatened.

Lieutenant General Sheridan, accompanied by
General Rucker, Major George A. Forsythe aud
Colonel M. Sheridan OF his stan, left here hast
night for New Orleans.
There is high of1lcial authority for saying that
General Sheridan does not go TO New Orleans IN
obedience to any direct orders, but in compliance
with the personal request Of the President, who
desires to have some one at that point IN wnom
he has implicit confidence to furnish him with
truthful information: and Of such rank that in
case OF an emergency he can act without special
orders from washington. General Sheridan was
intending to 60 to Cuba iD a few weeks, and this
trip South Is only anticipating the time, for after
a short stay In New Orleans he will sail for Cuba
His immediate work in Louisiana Is to conserve
the peace. and he will not remove any officer or
take any part in military affairs there unless it is
absolutely necessary to accomplish that object

A RECIPROCAL POSTAL TREATY FORMED WITH

treaty letters aud printed matter Tor any part OF
the dominion Will be sent under our stamps and
rates, and while letters will begin to be carried
thus only from the lst OF February, the carriage OF
newspapers viii begin with the irst day OF the
new year, when the new rate OF two cents per
pound for printed matter goes into effect In the
United States. The Assistant Postmaster General
OF the Dominion came to Washington at the re-
quest OF MIR. Jewell and the postal treaty was
negotiated here. 1t was laid before the Cabinet
to-day and at once approved, and was signed this
evening. 1t is estimated that under the new ar
rangement our government Will lose not more
than 100000 per annum, while the convenience
and business interests OF the people Will be
greatly advanced 1t IS possible that a similar ar
rangement Will be perfected with Mexico alter
while, and the sea rate on letters to Cuba Is also
to be lowered. The Postmaster General is also de-
under which a three cent postage stamp would
carry letter from any part OF the United States
TO any part OF Great Britain and Ireland. The
double rate would still be called ior letters sent
Dy last steamers, but the single rate would be

poorer people who have friends in the old country.
Mr.. Jewell thinks he can get slow mail carried
for $40 per ton, and that this would enable him to
arrange for three cent ocean postage.
