WAsH1raFes. March 27.-Gibson, Ellis
and Levy had long conference with
the President and Cabinet officers to.
day. They state that they believe, from
the tenor of their talk to-day, that the
President will follow out the policy OUT
lined In the inaugural, although indi-
rect means may be taken to secure this
result.
The delegation afterwards called
upon the Secretary OF War. MeOrary,
who assured them that all the dispatch
ea sent by him to Gen. Augur merely
directed him to maintain the status quo
sntil otherwise directed.
The Cabinet had another long session
to-day, mainly devoted to the Southern
question In general. and the Louisiana
commission Ia particular. No result
was announced except that two addition
nj members of the commission had been
agreed upon. making three who have
accepted to date. namely Vice President
Wheeler, ez.Gov. Brown, of Tennessee,
and John M. Harlan, of Kentucky.
Blaine is about to start on Southern
tour on his own hook, and will consume
several weeks In the trip. He will load
himself to the muszle with misinforma
tien for use In the coming session OF the
Senate, but nobody can tell which sids
he will take. God forbid that he should
deem IL for his interests to champion
the cause of the South.
