WASHINGTON, D. G. April 9, 1871
Very few private dispatches have been re-
eeived by members Of the administration from
New Orleans since TIE arrival Of the Coui-
mission, and these are not OF character 10
give much encouragement for the success OF
the plan to bring Nichols and Packard to-
gether by some kind OF compromise agree
ment. The attitude assumed by Packard and
the arrogance he displays, leads some OF The
presidents" advisers to believe thai Packard
must have been in correspondence with North
ern Republicans Of the extreme type, and that
Packard is only following out their prompt
ings. The Radical politicians do not care so
much for Packard as they do to retain pos
session Of the Senate, and it is therefore i'm
porlaut to them, that Republican and not
Democratic Senators be admitted from Louis
Jana II they could possibly by any kind Of
"thimbe-ring juggling" secure the two
Senators, the throwing overheard Of Packard
would be Thing Of but moment.
The dispatches Of last Saturday, showing a
change of policy by Chamberlain, created
considerable sensation in political circles here.
The administration is considerably embar-
raised at the war-like attitude Of Chamberlain,
as it was he iist intimalfun that be would
not carry out the conduct that he Indicated
to the President last week. 1t is pretty gen
orally concluded that when Hampton serves
the civil process upon him, which Gusts him.
the administration will indicate TO Mr.. Cham
berain ia q very positive manner that he
must retire or take the consequences.
The Treasury department is likely to be
seriously embarrassed in rendering decision
in some Of the ~hskey cases pending b. the
promises made during the late administration,
that if the parties woald turn States evidence
they should be released from all civil suits.
Dispatches received here to-day report the
commissioners giving their culire time 10 the
business before them, and are accepting very
little of the social attentions which are ten
dered them. In all their interviews with
Nichols, they hold firmly TO he principal
object Of their mission--the consolidation OF
the two egislatures-and although not meet
ing with the least encouragement they are not
yet disposed 10 TO abandon the scheme. -
Packard's crowd have made a dead set on The
Commission. They Icy great stress upon the
legal points OF The case Waymonh told the
"colored' members that the JIG was up. and
they had better make the best terms they
! could, which advice they will in all proha-
bity heed
The problem here now with the Cabinet is
the course 10 be taken after the soldiers leave
the State House. The removal of the troops
simply leaves matters where their interference
and followed out on the tangled endless line
inaugurated in the Sonhcru policy of Mr.
Hayes, which it is needless 10 say is somewhat
in a confused and unsettled state Mt present.
The Indictment of Doun Piatt Editor Of
the Capital" here for treason by a subser-
Went grand jury, because Of an article which
appeared in bis Journal, in connection with the
decision of the electoral tribunal, in favor Of
Of Hayes came to an appropriate ending in
our Criminal Court on Saturday, which shows
however the ready facility with which officials
here cfingingly bow to the domiu,pt influence
whatever it may be for the time. The dis
graceful farce was "nolle prosqui'ed by the
District Attorney, and the rebellion created
by Dom, collapsed

The illness OF ex-senator Carpenter, the
senior counsel 10 the U S. Treasury Sal 900
robbery case, who was to close the argument
for the defense, occasioned an adjournment on
| Saturday, Of the trial until to-day In con-
sideration OF the fact that this case is one Of
much public interest, and its conclusion so
near its end, the Judge deemed it advisable
that the jury Should not separate until they
had rendered ayerdict The jury were then
taken to hotel and allowed 10 communicate
only with their families.
