WASHINGTON, March 81.
1t was decided at the Cabinet meet
ing tn day to send a commission of
prominent public mel to Louisiana
before taking final action on the affairs
of that State. With the exception Of
Vice President Wheeler, who is ex-
pected to head the Louisiana commits
sion. only one Invitation has been ex-
tended by the President, that being tn
Senator David Davis, of Illinois, who
it appears is somewhat reluctant to ac-
cept the office because OF the attention
required to be given by him just
to other matters. The President is re
luctant TO speak of the gentlemen who
have been spoken of III connection
with this mission. but it is The freely adj.
United wish of the Government that
il shall constitute a delegation second
to none that has ever had in its keep
ing questions of such momentous in
terest. Upon the appointment of such
a commission to examine into the cor
iition of Louisiana there is no room to
doubt The absolute uuanimity of the
Cabinet. Up to this time little has
been done n the Cabinet so far As South
Carolina is concerned, but another ses-
sion, which will he held either to-
morrow or upon the day after, will
undoubtedly finish this question, and
it also can be taken as positive that the
settlement of the affairs of South Car
DINA will not involve the sending OF a
commission I o thar Stale. After the
determination of the South Carolina
question the Cabinet will give atten-
tion To some appointments of prom
inence in cases where The commissions
soon expire.
WASHINGTON, March 81.
The Postmaster General to-day, in a
conversation spoke of the following
rules as proper to be observed in the
appointment of Postmasters:
First No removal during four years
except for cause. ,
Second-When a Postmaster has
served four years and been a good Off
Ger, he is only So much better qualified
for four years more.
Third-When he has served eight
years, as IL form of government is
republican and he may become mat
tentive TO his duties, it is then but
reasonable that his case, like that o.
others, should he submitted to the peo-
pie for an expression of preference.
WASHINGTON, March 81.
General NJ. Z. Butler sent IL dispatch
to Wade Hampton to night saving:
Everything looks blue. There seems
to be no hope for South Carolina. Ii
looks like another move Of eight t.
seven" Hampton asked: ''Shsll
come to Washington" Butler re.
piled: "No. stay where you are. You
can do no good here, and you can not
Tell what a day may bring forth in

A Times editorial SAYS: The con.
clu>ion reached by the President and
his advisers in regard to the Southern
question will call IT, n loud expires
.ions of disappointment aud disgust
The writer argues thL. the measure
will mt satisfy Republicans who de
mapd the recognition OF Chamberlain
and Packard, nor of the Democrats
who demand the withdrawal Of the
troops. The Commission implies de
lay of which both parties are impa'
tent. Chamberlain and Packard have
presumptive titles that no candid mer
who acknowledge the title OF Hayes Il
the presidency a doubt. The Ad
ministration is bound to consider
whether some arrangement is not feast
BILE whereby in consideration of tn,
abandonment of a portion OF its claims
by either party both shall amicabl,
accept the result OF this problem to b,
solved.
A Times Washington special says
At the Cabinet meeting the material o
the Commission was determined upon
but its personnel can moi be ascer
tanned until the acceptance be received
from those whom the President viii
tonight invite by telegraph to serve
upon it. 1t will represent all shades
Of political opinion, and, II possible, !
will be national in its geographical
makeup. The gentlemen To be 20
lecied will be men we'll known to tho
country and distinguished rather fol
their bearing and patriotism than for
prominence in partisan politics.

WASHINGTON. March -.
A Cabinet meeting was in session
early to-day. 1t adjourned at abouI
half past II without taking any def
mite action in regard to South Carroll
ma. An impression prevails that an
other session will be held before the
Government announces its determine
ton in TIE case.
An immense number of visitors are
at the White House awaiting Al audi
ence with the President. Many vii.
be disappointed owing to the physical
impossibility of the President giving
ear to one-third Of those present
Among those who saw the President
we're Senators Ferry, Morton and Cor,
don, their business relating to loca
matters in their respective States.
