A Washington dispatch, Of the 18th, says
that the Cabinet on that day virtually deeid-
ed the Louisiana question. Its conclusions
were fclcgaphed 10 New Orleans 70 Gen.
Emery, and amounted simply 70 this: that
whether the Commission secures plan Of
settlement or not, the troops win be with
drawn at an early date. II was thought in
the Cabinet that the Commission would fail
10 accomplish any thing. The President looks
upon the situation there, as he did upon that
In South Carolina, as merely a political
one, and not legal one. The Louisiana
Commits ion had telegraphed the President
that they found that Packard's was the de
lure Government Of Louisiana, but that he
exercised no civil power outside Of the State
house in New Orleans. They also submitted
plan for a fusion Legislature and the cleo
ton OF Republican a. one Of the II. ;. Sem
stors. This, il Is understood, means the
election Of Packard, who, 50 far a. learned,
has not agreed 10 it.

that he had no concealments Rgarding his
Southern policy, which had been foreshad-

snces, wherein he had earnestly condemned
the reopening Of old ISSUES between the
North and the South, believing that the time
had come for complete reconciliation
snd the permanent paciication Of the

II discard. This policy, he said, had
been enunciated by the National Republican
Convention which placed him in nominal
ton, and fully endorsed by him In his letter |
Of acceptance. In conclusion he added: 81

rying II out, because there are Northern and /
