Epectat Dirpateh to The Tritune. ‘WasminaTon, D, C., March 21.—Two Cabinet, meetings woro held to-day, the greater portion of the time of cach being devoted to the con- sideratlon of the Loulslana question. After Alscussing the question fn all ita beariogs, snd consldering all the Information that bas been furnished the Pecstdent by tha ageats of the two Governors relative thereto, it was finally concluded to send a Commission to New Orleans, and to awalt ita roport beforo dis- turblng the present status of affalrs there, 1t is reparted that there was some difference of opinion as to the wisdom of fminediately ordering the United Btates troops away from the viclnity of the State-House in New Orleans, although there was nono as to the general detalls of the Tresident's palicy, and, after a full consultation ond n vote, in which Messrs.' Evarts, Schurz, and Key favored the immediate withdrawnl of troops, it was the unanimous oplnion that the Commission plan was tho best. This decision waa reached at the first mecting, and the nantes of soms sultablo gentiemen were qutlonud for scrvice on the Commission, AT THE BXCOND MEETING it {s understood that tho orzanization of tho Commission and its personne) wero considered. 1t was tho unanimous desire that Vice-Presldent Wheeler should be Chalrman, but it is very His health Is not bimeelf {n regsrd to any question that may Ho went to Now York invitatlon was but he David Davis, An to him . this afternoon, His cxcuss waos his physleal condition, private busincss that has to bo attended to, and dell- cacy about acting on a case which may coms be- 1ore him as Benator, EX-GOV, BROWN, OF GEORGIA, will undoubtedly become a menber of the Com- missfon it he will” accept, and also Judge E.

Other members have not been determined upon, Asfarascan bo learncd tho South Carollna casc was not fully consldered, but it is belleved that it will be acted upon Inafew days, and that Gov, Chamberlain will be doprived of the support of troops in the BState llouse. No Commission will probably bo sont to that 8tate. PERPECTLY CONSISTENT. The determination of tho Presldent to send n Commisslon of eminent citizens, conservative In thelr political vicws, to Louisians, before dis- turbingg the prescnt status of atfalrs there, is {n no senso an abandonment of the policy outlined In his inaugural address, ome of the Dem- ocrats from Loulsiana appear to suppose, nor is 1t iIn conflict with any pledges or assurances which tho President has given' clther beforo or sinco his lnauguration, Every day slnce ho ar- rived in Washington the President hus been visited by tho representatives of the rival Gov- craments {n Loulslana, and urged to take somna action in accordanca with their respective views, The agents of Uov. Nicholls have on every oc- casion requested and urged him to direct Gen. Augur to remove the United States troops from tho vicinity of tho Btate-House, in order that tho people of the Now Orleaus and Loufslana might aco that the Admninlstration proposed no .longer to UPILIOLD GOV. PACKARD by the use of tho military forces, Bo anxlous have they been to sccure this changa that they have uot hesitated to give numerous pledges, pot only that foreible means should notv b e~ ployed to displace Packard, butalso that Gov. Nichotls would support the Southern policy of the Admin{stration, and doall in hls pawer to 1ead his followers to do the same, Tho Prosk dent has on cvery oceaslon IHstened with great patience to the srguments and oxplanations of both partles, but has never {ndicated Just what bo intongod to do. During the special ses- slon of the Benate he told every one who called upon him to talk on tho subject that ho could not give it that careful attentlon its importance domanded until after the sdjournment of that bady, aud the ntlma- tion that tho subject would be taken up for consideration early this week was futerpreted by tho Nicholls ant Puckard men alike to indleato Lis inclination to ACCEDE TO THH WISIES OF THE DEMOCIATS. At tho same time Gov. Penn, tho principal rep- resentative of the Nicholls Adminlstration now in Washington, admitted no longer ago than Mondsy that the President had In none of the conversations promised bl to withdraw the troops from the Btate-House, and that his belfef that ho would do so was ‘founded wholly upon {nfereoce. % ‘The President’s purpose jo sending o Commls- slon to Loulslana fs probably two-fold. First, to ubtsln, through the fuvestigationof dislater- ested, non-partlsan geotlemen, a conipact state- ment of a!l the facts in the caso, and, second, to sscertain, If possible, the best method of deal- 1og with the anomalous stato of affairs now cx- tsting there. He considers tho Southern ques- tion a3 embracing much more than THE FATE OF ANY POLITIVAL PARTY elther {n Louisiana or 8oath Caroling, sod that any solution of it sbould have In view tho wel- faro of the whole douth, and,to be based on & principlo spplicable to that cntiro soction of the Relp Administration. ment or hy the United in tho meantime Packard will not be allowed to galn any advantage cxcopt such as would nate urally ariso from delay, whilo tho Nicholls Gov- ernment will probably continue to cxercise all the functlons of grovernment now performed by it. ‘The purposcs of the Adnministration is not ‘The members who voted n?'u hava country, should troubles arlso In other Btates, as they are likely todo nt any time. Whatever policy the President may adopt after the return ol his gu safely predicted o halt clvll, hand-to-mouth policy which dlstin- pulshied the dealings of the jlato Administra. tiun with the Bouthern question. As lias been frequently announved, the Prestdent believes that the {imo has come when ¢lvil government should be catablished In all the Southern States, and when military {nterference should not ba resorted to as a curc fur the cvils from which that section of tho country has suffered so much. At thesamothno itis equally incum- bent upon him to sce that the rights of the ne- groes nro respevted and protected all over the country, and that all tho amendments to the Constitution of the Unlted States are main- tained, not only In their letter Commiasion, it may that 1t wil not halt military, Loulslana that hap-hazard, BUT IN THRIR SPIRIT.
