WASHINGTON,

The Commission that has Been APP.
what is Proposed to be AccOm-
pltshed by Is-EditOrfal Com.
ments ON the Status Of the Com.
mission.
WASHINGTON, March %.
The Tribune's Washington special
saws: 1t is reported that the Presi-
dent conceived the plan Of sending a
commission to Louisiana before his in
auguration, and that nov while he is
at times willing to be influenced by
the advice of his Cabinet he will act for
himself. When these fail to an agree
ment, the gentlemen who have been
selected will be sent to New Orleans
with instructions to endeavor to induce
both parties to agree to a reorganiza-
ton of the Legislature. 1t is proposed
that members of both branches whose
seats are uncontested and whose cleo
ton is conceded Dy all. shall pass upon
the contested cases, and that the Leg
islature SO constituted shall under the
constitution and laws of Louisiana
canvass the ote Of the State for Gov
ernor. Such a Legislature, it is said,
would have a nominal Republican ma
jority on Joint ballot of about IL. or
this majority nine would be anti
Packard Republicans and would hold
the balance Of power. If the w par
ties decline to reorganiZe the Legisla-
ture, it is. believed the President is
fully determed to withdraw the roops
from the support Of the Packard gov
eminent and to inform both parties
that, having failed to accept
a proper and fair adjustment, it
is proposed by the Administration
that the Federal troops can no longer
be used to sustain any State govern
ment, and that the two pretended ad-
illustrations must solve their differ
ences in their own way. If ~bloodshed
should follow the responsibility would
rest upon the politicians of Louisiana,
and not with the President. The Cabi-
net is said to favor this plan; and there
is scarcely a doubt that if the Commits
sion fail, this plan will be adopted.
The Nichols men here are very hope
full, as the conservative Republicans
are getting disguised with these chronic
troubles in Louisiana.
NEW YORK, March 20.
The Tribune editorially praises the
Commission as being composed of I'M
exceptionsble men.
The SUMS editorial says: The 8 10 7
commission that made Hayes the
fraudulent President is now to be fol-
lowed by a 4 to l or 3 to 2 commission
in the Louisiana case. Hayes has got
up the Louisiana Commission of five
members, all of whom, with the ex
ception of Brown. are Republicans. 1t
may be inferred, therefore, hat the
commission will stand 4 to l on such
questions as come before it, but we
presume Lawrence is an independent
party man, and the body may some
times stand 3 to 2. 1t is such a COM
mission as q fraudulent President
might be expected 10 get, and nobody
can be disappointed with it. We are
not surprised to learn from Washing
ton of Hayes desire to confer with
Wheeler before he makes out its in.
structions.
The Mission OF spotted Taii.-The
Campaign 10 Still Go On.
CHICAGO, March %.
1t should be understood that Spotted
Tails mission of peace, which was
mentioned in the dispatches a few
days since, Is entirely voluntary on
his part. He himself proposed that he
should visit the camps of Crazy Horse
and other hostiles to endeavOr to in
duce them 10 come into the reserva-
ton. The Government fas in no way
aided him in his undertaking further
than allowing him to attempt it. Should
Spotted Tail be successful, the military
authorities will of course be very glad,
but General Sheridan says it is not his
purpose to parley with the Indians
any further or to delay the intended
campaign while negotiations between
Spotted tail and the hostiles are pend
ing. Supplies are now being rapidly
forwarded and everything is being put
in readiness for the campaign which
will be opened as soon as possible.
