high. The weather wa. so thick at times
to-day that one could hardly see the
steamer from tho shore. The lighters
that came down yesterday had to leave.
Nothing has been done towards dis

to work in the surf boats. The Coast

been anchored of shore about half mile

WASHINGTON, March 2l.- With the
exception o. Vice President Wheeler,
who is expected to head the Louisiana
Commission, only one invitation has
been extended by the President, that be-
ing Senator David Davis, OF Illinois, who
it appears is somewhat reluctant to sc-
cept the office, because of the attention
required to be given by him just now to
other matters. The President is reluc-
tant to speak OF the gentlemen who have
been spoken of in connection with
this mission, but it is freely admitted
that the wish of the Government
is that it shall constitute delegation
second to none that has ever had IN its
keeping a question of such momentous
interest. Upon the appointment OF such
a commissionto examine into the condl-
tion of Louisiana, there is no room to
doubt the absolute unanlinlty OF the
Cabinet.
Up to this time little has been done in
the Cabinet so Tar as oouth
Carolins ls conceaned. Another
session, which will be held to-
morrow or upon the day alter
will finish this question, and it can also
bo taken as positive that the settlement
of affairs in South Carolina will not in
volve the sending OF commission to
that State
The President will soor. issue procIs-

Alter the determination OF the South
Carolina question the Cabinet will give
attention to some appointments OF
prominence in cases where commissions
will soon expire.

LONDON, March 2l.-A dispatch TO the

few cases OF the rifles and cartridges
upon which so vast part of Turkish
shrunken resources are wasted, have been
sent into the provinces, especially the
European districts and along the eastern
frontier, and distributed 10 the Mussul.
mans. The population, which is now
being organized rs national guard, Is
only another name for the Bashi b.
zouks. The only task assigned these ir-
regular bands can be TO overcome and, If
need be, crush and snnihilste the Chris
tian population. For. this is, alter all,
the real war to which the long continu-
ance of the armed peace is to lead.
LONDON, March 2l.-Tle Post an
nounces that the Cabinet has hot accept
ed the Russian notifications and requires
that before considering them distinct
pledges of demobilizstion. The govern
ment is asked not only t. submit TO the
amended version of the protocol to

EXTRA SESSION OF CONGRESS.

At a Cabinet meeting yesterday, 1t
was resolved to call a special session OF
Congress about Monday, June 4. The
extra session of Congress is made neces-
ssry in this way: The House passed the
army appropriation bill at the last session,
attaching proviso requiring the Presi-
dent to withdraw the army from political
duty and detail it to the performance
of its constitutional duties. This, Mr.
HAYES political friends in the Senate
would not agree to, hence the bill making
provision for the maintenance OF the
army fell between the two honses. Now,
HAYES has been telling the people of the
South and Of the country all along, that
il is his intention 10 withdraw the troops
from their illegal work in South Caro-
lima and Louisiana; but so far he las
failed to keep his word.
At the same Cabinet meeting at which
it was resolved to call Congress together
for the purpose of voting supplies to the
army, it was resolved not to withdraw
the troops as props to the carpet-bas
governments in the two PROSTATE and
bleeding States. If Mr.. HAYES intends
to persist in this policy, it Is hardly worth
his while to call together Democratic
House with a hope that it will sppro-
pris,e money to enable him to continue
to defy the Constitution, the laws and
al overwhelming public sentiment on
this subject.
