WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, March 6.-Until within few
days the plan Of arbitratiug Louisiana Affairs so
TAR as the committee were concerned, was not
positively fixed. 1t may be stated that the
case Will be considered by the whole committee
and tat they Will begin work as soon as papers
coming from New Orleans reach them, probably
as early as Wednesday Thursday of next
week. The rropriety OF an extra session of the
LOUISIANA Legislature Is still suggested by the
committee.
WASHINGTON, March G.-The President has
prepared list OF the nine new paymasters
which he will probably send to the senate on
Monday. The nominations arc about equally
divided between regular ana volun Ger officers.
though there is another statement that but two
regular officers are included in the list The
names are inaccessible. There are two hundred
and forty applicants for the places.
The levee lider to the River and Harbor bill
was defeated in tho Senate by the absence Of
Gordon Of Georgia. and Hitchcock, of Nebraska
Gen. Gordon, who entered the Senate imme-
dlately after tho vote, made an earnest and per-
slstent effort for motion to reconsider. Dennis
of Maryland, would have complied, but he had
not voted. On the call, the others who had
voted nay were deaf to the solicitations to move
a reconsideration.
Had Gen. Gordon been present, thorc would
have been tie, when the Vice President would
have voted aye carrying the measure hIcoru
and Gordon appealed to Morgan Hamilton, of
