Louisiana A fairs.

New YORK, Feb. 27.-The Tribune's special
says: 1t is reported Oh the very best authority
that one of the first results of the compromise
will be the question Of Collector Casey, to be
u. s. Senator i'll place of pinchback. This
has been the pet scheme of the President ever
since 1872 A day or TWO ago while talking
with New England Republican Senator the
President SAID that he had all Of the time
been deceived in regard to the last election 10
Louisiana. He said that Packard had tele-
graphed him, that the Republicans had car
rled New Orleans and the State and be sup
posed that to b. fact, because if Packard
did not know what the result was be ought
to have known, and il he did be had lied
Gen. Grant added that relying on that dis
patch he had sustained the military and aD-
proved Gen. Sheridan's course and by doing
this had made opponents of many OF his
political trieuds Now be said be was told
by the Committee that the Republicans bad
not carried the State at all and this placed
him 10 very awkward position. He seemed
disposed to lay all the blame upon Packard.

No Extra Session.

NEW York, Feb. 27.-The Trbunc's Wash
iugton special says regarding the question of
the extra session of Congress, that the Presi-
dent in Cabinet meeting yesterday settled the
question. 1t was referred to by some OF the
members IS possible, iuasmuch as it was thought
by them that if aoy of the appropriation
bills failed, an extra session would be lmpera-
tive; but the President at once settled the mat
ter by saying that 10 no event like y to happen
would be call an extra session. He said that
all the appropriation bills that we're indispensa-
bic we're already through or so nearly through
that he was no longer anxious about them: lie
said that the Sundry Civil, the River and Har-
Dor and the deficiency bills were the only ones
that were at all doubtful. The River and
Harbor would without doubt go through with
out trouble but 10 case of necessity, if all three
of them failed, he should not call an extra ses-
sion. The President thinks that the country
could get along until mex, session, without these
appropriations, and the result of an extra ses-
sion would be more Injurious to the public inter-
est than the failure OF the bills
