MR. PINCHBACK SOLD OUT TO COLLECTOR
CASEY.

IHR PRESIDENTS FAVOR TO THE LOUISIANA COM
PROMISE PROCURED BY AN UNDERSTANDING
THAT HIS BRorHER-IN-LAw SHALL BE ELECTED
sRNAroR-MARsHAL PACKARD TO BE MADE THE
sCAPEGoAT FOR THE SINS OF THE ADMINIsTRA-
T1oN-DIssATIsFACTIoN WITH THE COMPROMISE.
lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRBUNE.l
WASHINGTON, Feb 26.-It seems that Mr. Pinch
back has some reason to be indignant with the Ks-
publicans of Louisiana and Washington for leaving
hun out in the cold when they were arranging
their compromise. 1t is reported to-day, on the
very best authority that one of the first results Of
the compromise will be the election of Collector
Casey to be United States Senator in the place OF
Mr. Pinchback. This has been q pet scheme OF the
President ever since 1872 when he supposed that
the Dure coup deat would insure the choice of his
brother-in-law, whom he 30 much desired to see
advanced politically. When Mr.. Hoar's Sub-COm-
mittee FIRST returned from New-Oreans, the Presl-
dent apparently threw every obstacle IN the way OF
a compromise at least he did not do anything to
promote it, But his talks with the members OF that
Committee. and especially with Mr. Wheeler, In
whom he has great confidence, began to shake DIS
faith in his Republican friends In Louisiana, and
the suggestion made by others that through the
compromise Collector Casey might be elected to the
Senate seems to have entirely won him over.
A day OF two ago, while talking with New-En-
gland Republican Senator the President said that
be had all of the time been deceived IN regard to the
last election in Louisiana. he said that Mr.. Pack
ard had telegraphed him that the Republicans hao
carried the City of NewOrleans and the State, and
he supposed that TO be fact because If Mr. Packard
did not know what the result he ought to have
known; and if he did know. he had he'd. Gen.
Grant added that relying on that dispatch he had
sustained the military and approved Gen. Sher1dans
course. and by doing this had made opponents OF
many Of his political friends. Now he sald be was
told by the Committee that the Republicans had
not carried the state at all and this placed him in
a very awkward position. He seemed disposed TO
Law all of the blame upon Mr.. Packard, and there
are rumors aaoat in Washington that new United
states Marshal Will be appointed for Louisiana
within short tlme
The reports from New-Orleans show that only
hare majority of the Conservative caucus agreed TO
the Wheeler compromise. Many of the Louisiana
Republicans IN Washington say that only portion
of their party will agree to it. Mr.. Pincbbaek Is al
ready in open rebellion. and others who think 'na'
their interests have been sacrificed are exceedingly
discoutented.

GRADING SUGARS.

MODE BY WHICH THE CLASSIFICATION OF sUGAhs
is pErERMINEp--A CHANGE CONTEMPLATED
THE PRESENT GRADING TOO Low, CAUSING LOSS
TO THE GOVERNMENT.

Treasury Department, that have. under the direc-
ton of the Secretary Of the Treasury. beeI In ses

nj ght to make their report The object of the meet
ing was to investigate the system OF grading
sugars. to correct the Inethciencies and IT.
regularities in this delicate duty, and TO
coHect the data for the basis of uniform
system of grading sugars. At the four great sugar
ports of Baltimore, New-York. Boston, and'New-Or-
leans, at present. sugars are graded by the Dutch
standard, and the samples consist of % grades OF
sundried Java sugars in bottles These are sent to
the ports above named and renewed every two
years. The duties are fixed by the Customs officers
according to these grades, as follows ALI under 2,
Il cents pound from to 10, Il cents from ~ TO
10, cents and SO on up to cents pound duty on
the highest grade The new Revenue bill ADDS ID
per cent.
1t has been the custom to take samples from
number of hogsheads, and TO compare them with
the Dutch standards. The latter have grayish
color, while the Havana sugar has yeiowish
tnge, and it is only by exercising the most delieate
appreciation of color and shade that the expert can
determine the duty which should be assessed. 1t
has been discovered that the average duties
on sugars have been assessed one grade
too low or an average of three-eighths af
cent less than the proper duty the actual grade
Of the sugar. which occasions loss OF duties
amounting to about 900 year to the Govern
ment. There also have been numerous complaints
of irregularities in assessments at the diherens
sugar ports. New-York merchants assert that the
duties are one-half cent lower at Baltimore, and the
dealers in the latter citv complain that they are
one-half cent lower still at New Orleans.
1t is proposed to issue instructions when all the
data are obtained to govern the customs officers OF
the United States so as to insure uniformity OF du-
ties on sugars of the grades and it is possible
that special officers possessing peculiar fitness, Will
be detailed to determine the grades of sugar.

WASHINGTON.

NO EXTRA SESSION OF CONGRESS.
ANNOUNCEMENT BY THE PRESIDENT IN CABINET
nxrnsa-rHz MOST IMPORTANT APrRoPMA-
TON BILLS NEARLY OR QUITE THRouGH-FAn-
uRk OF THE REMAINDER NOT SUFFICIENT CAUSE
FOR CALLING AN ExTRA SESSION.
IBr TELEGRAPH TO THE rRmUNHi
WASHINGTON. Feb. 26-The slow progress made
By Congress during the past few days the appro-
priation bills and other business has inspired the
belief in various quarters that there would be, after
all. an extra session The determination Of the op-
postion to defeat the Force bill IN the House and
the equal earnestness manifested In the Senate
against the radical political measures lately brought
forward have increased this apprehension; for at
one time it looked probable that some of the most
important Of the appropriation bills would fail and
there are even yet grave doubts to whether they
viii sn get through. The President, however, IN
the Cabinet meeting to-day, settled the question of
an extra session. 1t referred to by some of the
members as possible, inasmuch IL was thought by
them that if any of the apppppn alton bills failed an
extra session would be imperative. But the Presi-
dent at settled the matter by saying that in no
event likely to happen would he call an extra ses-
non. He said that all the appropriation bills that
were indispensable were already through or 80
nearly through that he no longer anxious about
them He sald that the sundry Civil. the River and
Harbor. and the Deficiency bills were the only ones
that were at all doubtful. The River and Harbor
would without doubt go through without trouble,
but in case Of necessity, all three of then failed,
he should not call an extra session. The President
thinks that the country could get along until next
session without these appropriations, and the result
of an extra session would be more injurious to the
public interest than the failure of the bills

W.sHISGroN. Feb 26.-The latest news from New

Then Mr.. Pinchback and his friends will have con-
troll of the Legislative and executive branches OF the
State Government, and will manage things to suit
themselves. They will not allow the Wheeler COM
promise to be carried out. because the men whom
