MISSION TO SOUTH CAROLINA - THE EXTRA
SESSION.
IBY TELEGRAPH TO TIE TRIBUSE.l
WASHINGTON, March 21.-Two Cabinet meetings
were held to-day the greater portion of the time of
each being devoted to the consideration Of the
Louisiana question. After discussing the question
in all ITS bearings and considering all the informa-
tion that has been furnished by the agents OF the
two parties there to the President, it was
finally concluded to send commission to New
Orleans and to await its report before disturbing
affairs there 1t is reported that there was some dlf-
ference of opinion as to the wisdom of Immediately
ordering the United States troops away from the VI
cinty of the State House in New-Orleans, although
there was none TO the general details OF the Pres-
dents policy. After full consultation and vote IN
which Messrs. Evarts, Schurz, and Key favored I'M
mediate withdrawal of troops, the unanimous
opinion was reached that the Commission plan was
the best This decision was reached at the first
meeting and the names of some suitable gentlemen
were mentioned for service ON the Commission.
At the second meeting it is understood that the
organization of the Commission and It's personnel
were considered. 1t was the unanimous desire that
Vice-Preseent Wheeler should be its chairman, but
e. i very doubtful if he will serve His health is
not good and he feels delicacy about committing
himself in regard to any question that may
come before the Senate. He went to New
York to-day. Another name selected was that
of Senator David Davis. An invitation was
given to HIM this afternoon, but he
declined to accept it. His excuse was his physical
condition. private business which has to be attended
TO. and delicacy about acting on case which may
come before him as a Senator. Ex-Gov Brown OF
Georgia will undoubtedly be member of the COM
mission if he will accept, and also Judge +. Rock
wood Hoar Other members have not been deter
mined upon as far as can be learned.
The South Carolina case was not fully considered,
but il is believed that it Will be acted upon in few
DAYS and that Gov. Chamberlain will be deprived
Of the support of troops in the State House.
II was voted TO call an extra session of Congress
to meet on Monday, June 4.

DENT SAYS.
The Cabinet held two meetings yesterday
on Southern affairs. Messrs. Evarts, Schurz,

This was not passed, and the President and
Cabined decided unanimously to send a
special commission to Louisiana to examine
and report. Mr.. Wheeler will head the COM
mission, and Judge Davis will be member,
if they will consent 1t is believed no COM
mission will be sent TO South Carolina. The
President states in conversation that the
blacks are to be protected. The Packard
Legislature at NewOrleans claims a quorum,
and appeals to the President to assist in sup
pressing instruction.
