THE LOUISIANA COMMISSION.
Special Dtspatch to The Tribune
WASHINGTON, u. t., March 24.-The Cabinet
was in session for two hours and half to-day in
further consideration Of the Louisiana Commis-
sion. Some embarrassment is felt owing to the
fact that several Of the persons to whom the
positions have been rendered have declined to
accept Up to this evening the Commission was
not ret compelled. There has been all intima-
tion that unless 3 satisfactory Commission can
be found within a day or two the plan Of Com
mission for Louisiana may be abandoned, and
the Gubernatoria1 candidates in Louisiana
be invited to come to Washington, as
those in South Carolina have been.
The President said tonight, however,
that he expected that the Commission would be
organized early next week. When it is orcan-
lied, the purpose for which it is created will be
1MMED1ATELY PUBLISHED.
All secrecy will then be removed. It is, more
orer, the expectation that the success or failure
OF the Commission will be fully determined
within week or ten days from the time it
reaches New Orleans. The Commission will
undoubtedly cndcavor to bring about coalition
by which there shall be Legislature and Ju-
dietary with an undisputed title, which the pco-
pie of Louisiana, irrespective OF party, will ret
ognizc If the Commission shall not prove
successful, the issue will not have been altered,
aud the condition Of affairs will not be worsc
than now. 1t is now practically settled that bfr.
Wheeler
WILL NOT BE 4 MEMBER
Of the Commission. Two reasons induce him
to decline: His health, and the fact that as
presiding officer Of the Scnate he may be
compelled to rule upon the questions consider
ed br the Commission
There need be no fear that the Southern ques-'
ton will be an open one or the Presidents pol
icy still undetermined when Congress shall re-
assemble in extra session. The Cabinet cer-
tainly do not anticipate any delay which can
prevent the presentation to Congress Of the
Southern policy as
IN ACCOMPLISHED FACT
even before the intervening two months are
ended The expectation is that the policy will
definitely presented.
Nothing official has been heard from Hanp-
ton today to Indicate whether he intends to
arcpt the Presidents Invitation to visit Wash
in!,ton. 1t is believed here that he will come
although those who most nearly represent him
here advise him to the contrary. The Cabinet
certainly expects him. There is good
rc,sun tn think that the Presidents
