The first Cabinet meeting does not bring the
decision IN the Southern controversies so
anxiously awaited by both sides. The Presl-
dent evidently proposes to make haste slowly,
and will not be pulled or hauled or scared INTO
a decision day sooner than he chooses to
make one. Gov. Packards demonstration is
looked on in Washington with unfavOrable
ewes. whether it be intended to prevent the
Withdrawal of the troops or to maintain him
self at the expense of civil conflict. The
President, by the way seems TO be adhermg
to his plan of Commission, and a very good
plan it is to stick to.

The reduction in the price of coal as shown
by the sales yesterday Is real only IN part, a
difference in freight forming two-thirds of the
apparent fail of thirty cents ton; but the
result ought to be satisfactory to everybody
save the coal companies The possibilities OF
a combination to defraud consumers as IN the
past appear remote indeed just now.
