C., Fob. 12.—The late oo~ currences in Loulslana wero the subject of carncat discussion in the meetingof the Cabinet to-day, nnd the fact was declarcd that the Presi- dent and his constitutional advisers sro unanimous {n the belief that the presccus tlons of iho Returning Board are breach of good faith on the part of tho Demo- crata of Louistana, arein violation of tho under- standing between the President and the repro- scotatives of the people of that state, and that thelr tendency wiil bo to destroy the confidenca of the country in the good intentions of the Southern Conscrvatives and to reopen old ecctional controversics which it haa been the alm of thoe President to closs forever. Boma members of the Cabinet, either from having been witness of what took place fo Loufsiana a a year ago, or from thelr less conscrvativa tendencices, show greater Indignstion than others, Becretary Sherman’s opinions are known, for ho has already published them to the world, What be says in such forcible languago is {n- dorsed by Sccretaries Thompson and McCrary and by Attorney-General Devens; and fn re- ®ard to any measurcs that may be adopted by the Prosident it may be sald with confidence that there will be NO DIVISION IN TIIE CADINET. The President has already addressed a letter ta the Attornoy-General calling his attention of- ficially to the conviction of Gen. Anderson and the arrcat of other members of the Returning Board, and asking for his opinion ss to what the Exccutlve can do, If soything, to lusure ‘to Wells und Andorson and their aaso- clates falc and just treatment. In this letter, which will probativ be published to-morravw, with Gen. Devens' reply, the President takes occasion to cxpress in very ~vigorons language his opinion of the procecdings before the court in New Orleans, and to characterize them as he thinks thev deserve. To glve more force to tho communication he reviews briefly the history of the cvents which preceded tho nccession of the Nlcholls Admine istration in Loulsiana to undisputed power, aud recalls the gencral understanding thsg was arrived at, giviog omphasis tu the wholu by quoting fromn the resolutions of tho Nichiolls Legisiuture, and from letters write ten by Gov. Nicholls. Vreaident Haycs' letter is not long, but, Mk all his State papers, It 1s direct, polnted, aod uncquivocal, and shows bes youd ali question his DETERMINATION NOT 7O BIT 8TILL and allow men whom he believes to be innoceny to bo outraged and oppresscd, as hie thinks the members of the Returning Board are. The lot- ter would probably have been published to- night but for tho fact that ft fy belog revised, Morc “snap" s _being put Into it, Attorney-Uoneral Devens will act very promptly in this matter. o has never looked upon the Southern policy of the Administration with that unquestioning contl- dence that has bocn felt by the President and some other members of his Cabinet, and has never held that tho Uresident could not change his policy nt any time f circumstances should scem tu demand, Not that ho or any one else to whom the Presldent looks for advice contem- 1 the possibility of military Interference y circumstances, but ho has looked upon the overtures of tho Prosldent towards the South as 1u somo degrec experks tnental, not to bo persisted in unless tné South shuwed itself ready to reclorocate,—to meet the Prestdent at least half way here ure several wuys in which steps can be taken ta hove the proccedings of Judge Whittaker's Court reviewed, aud une of thess (Can, Devens will, undoubtedly recommond to the Fresident to-morrow, The Prealdont has spoken without reserve on this subject to-day tu every uno who has approached him, and ree terred to [t In conversation, lio has shown XO IMPATIENCE OK YINDICTIVENESS, but ho has ovluced n deop feellng which some deseribe as a seuse of lnjur‘. and a deter- wiuation that will not be shaken tg act with promptoess and decislon. No mau fo the country believes more m;&umlr in the law- fuluess of all tho Heturning Board's proceodings than Iresident Hayes, o thiuks the members of {t did thelr duty in countiy the vote of Loulslsua consclentiously an fearlessly, and he does not believe that any other result than that which was nounced could have been legally reached, It fs not, therefore, from any seuse of obligations to Mesars, Wells, Anderson, and thelr associatos, for a service of doubtful character ef to tho party or to himsclf, that ho now feels bound to DO WHAT I8 CAN tosavo them from the maliguity of Bourbon l:maccutlon: hut it 18 from his sonsoc of justice, ased upon & belicl that they are belng dursued simply bocause they did thelr duty consden- tlouslyin a thme ol great trial if not of dan. ger. As an examplo of the . President’s ’“"“f on this subject, reference may be made to an uterview between bim aod Dr. Lorlug, of Massachusetts, to-day, in woich be spokoe very indiguantly of the tourse pursucd by thosa haviug clarge of the Returning-Board trials in New Orleans, ond by the Bourbons who aro urzing them on, He fs reported as baving said to Dr. Lorlug that these prosccutions wera fusplicd “by the, devillshness of the worst clements of Loulsiana politics,” 1o added that he sbould give the subject instant cousld- eration, aud that bo would resort to BYBHY LEGAL EXPEDIENT 10 arreat any further persccution of the genfle- men reterred o, llwku of tho lotter that he lad slready addressed to At'y-ten. Dovens, usking bis opluion 88 to the powers of tha Ex- ecutive In the premises, and as to the most di- rect uud effoctlve meaus of reaching the case, 1o a conference with several other gentlemen, the President EXPRBSYED IIMSELY wnunnnnmnnxul and sald that bo was wliling to uso all peacefy ineans 1o arrest this jujustice, but absolutely refused to entertain the fdea of empln’ymg)lum.
