WASHINGTON, March 10.
Senator Gordon OF Georgia. General
Butler of South Carolina, and Repre-
sentatives Levy and Allis of Louisiana,
had an interview this afternoon with
the Attorney General on the situation
in the South. Gordon said the logical
sequence of the situation compelled
either the withdrawal OF trOops from
the State houses or of holding Of the
State houses against both governments.
That the Administration refused 10 re
cognize either government in these
States; and that, therefore, if the
troops were not withdrawn, they must
OF necessity and logically be used to
keep these State houses as neutral
ground; that il was not and could not
be logically consistent to say that
neither government should be recog-
nized by the Administration and to
keep one government in the houses
and one government out. He urged
the Withdrawal of the troops, not from
the States, but simply from the State
houses, as the only course consistent
with non-intervention and free from
embarrassment. General Butler and
all present united in the assertion that
no disturbance could or would occur.
All these gentlemen stated that the
agricultural interest of these States
were being seriously injured by delay.
Immediately after the interview, Sena-
tor Gordon saw the President aud
presented like considerations for as
prompt consideration as possible, and
vas told that the question would at
once be taken up and disposed OF.
WASHINGTON, March 10.
II is learned at the Executive Man
sion that there is no probability of a
decision being reached to- morrow con-
corning the Southern question, al
though it will then doubtless be
brought before the Cabinet and its
formal consideration commenced.
There will be At least one other session
OF the Cabinet held before matters are
finally determined. An additional
Cabinet meeting will probably be
called on Wednesday,.
NEW YORK. March 20.
The Times Washington special
thinks thai Christiancy will get
the Mexican mission. Foster, the
present Minister to Mexico, will get
the mission to Spain; and it is also re
ported that Geo. VIM. Curtis has been
offered the English mission. Freling-
huysen is named for Berlin. General
Lew Wallace will take Chilli or Peru,
if offered.
The Herdld's Washington special
says: 1t is not improbable that Fish
will receive the English mission.
The Sans Washington special says:
The first business before the Cabinet
meeting tomorrow will be concerning
an extra session. The probabilities to-
night are toward an early call. De-
vens' report on the necessity of an ex-
ira session will, it is believed, remove
any doubt on the subject. The pre-.
else date will doubtless be determined
by Fosters candidacy for the Speak
er~hip.
Randall is in town this evening and
feels certain of the attendance of on
hundred and fifty-One in the Demo-
cratic caucus, men pledged to vote for
the Democratic candidate in the eau
Gus. He feels assured of a majority.
A Worlds New Orleans special says:
At 1890 o'clock this morning the ex-
element has risen high and all man.
ner of rumors aud stateme ITS are that
there is to be a rally of the Packard
forces to night. Positive information
is to the effect that Packard has nired
q band of Sicilian desperadoes to storm
the police stations. Leading Sicilians
here who are identified with the peo-
pie, know nothing Of such q move. N
all the public buildings a double
militia guard is now stationed, and
any attack would be repulsed with a
terrible slaughter.
NEW ORLEANS, March 10.
The evening Democrat says: Mat
ters are assuming a feverish cast
around the St. Louis Hotel, and things
look more than ever like a conflict.
By $50 O'Clock this morning there
were gathered around the st. Louis
and Royal street entrances about 1000
negroes, who served to make the
place a pandemonium. These negroes
are evidently from the country and are
here to join Packard's militia. which
he Is engaged In recruiting. He now
admits he will as soon as possible take
back the police stations, ard says he
would not remain in the building two
hours If he had all his arms back. 1t
can be put down as q settled fact that
within q very few days at furthest
Packard will break the peace; his
hackers in the hotel are hot for war
and nothing but the probable outcome
is talked about. II IL reported he is
already in negotiation for the purchase
of arms, and all funds comeatable are
to be used in securing them. They
boast down there that they don't want
the troops to interfere, and they assert
ii might makes right they have might.
Our citizens should he prepared for the
turning loose on the streets Of q gang
OF ignorant negroes led by bad men,
for that is now evidently the policy Of
Packard. The situation is now assum
ing q much more warlike attitude than
ever before since January 9th, and the
responsibility OF the matter will rest
on Packard, and the fruits he will
gather will be most bitter.
Attorney General Ogden has filed in
Fifth District Court a petition for a
writ Of ejectinent against j.. Is. Pack

Education, and others residing in the
