Proctor Knott made a speech in Leb anon, Ky., on the 10th inat., in whioh be juatliied tha filibuatara in Oongraaa, oon damned the Electoral Oommiaaion, and alleged that the eatabliahment of the Oommiaaion and the defeat of Tildon ware due to money. Taa Bev. Dr. Bndington, the Brooklyn Oongregationaliat miniater who refusea to take part in the inatallation of a paator because Beeoher ia to preach the inatalla- tion aeruaon, ahowa by that act he ia a man of principle, faithful to hia oonvio- tlon of Deeeher'a guilt and oonaequent unfitness to preach from a Christian pul pit. Aa a Cabinet member Mr. Key repre- aenta a policy of line worda, already half belied in equivooal deeds. Aa the execu tive head of a Department, he repreaenta a aentiment of “reform” praotioalized in being anrrounded by a bummer brigade of Indiana atrikera, oreatures of that embodiment of all that ia meohanioal, not to say bnmmerly, in politics, Senator Morton. Gbn. Gbant in conversation on Friday last he said that if he had not kept troopa in South Carolina, Florida and Louisiana, the Demoorata would have had no trouble in securing all of those States. He thought that the appointment of a com mission to go to Louiaiana waa n very good thing, aud he expressed the belief that the result of it would be the recog nition of Paokard. A prominent opera-bouffe actress com plained to a distinguished author : “Dear Mr. B., I am in such a dilemma. The poor, dear Marquis is plaguing me to marry him, on the one hand, and a part ner in ltothschild's bauk wants to make me his wife on the olhor. What am I to do?” Beplied the distinguished author to the opera-bouife actress : “Marry the banker, my dear Mias H. Get him to take a theatre for you, and I'll write the piece.” It seems that Ohriatian Hansen, the tramp, who won the sympathies of many oharitable people by seeking an admission to the State prison in order to save him self from starving, and who declared that he waa a burglar, lately released from an Ohio penitentiary, lied in that pretended oonfeaaion. He says he made himself out a great oriminal, thinking that so he would the surer win sympathy. We hope it ia true that he desires to amend his life, but he has begun badly in bis re formatory steps by playing the par? of a fraud. Tux Extba Suasion.—Mr. Wheeler, aaya the Baltimore Sun, of Tuesday, has been in consultation with soveral of the prominent Democrats of the House in ref erence to the probability of obviating a call for an extra session. Neither Repub licans nor Demoorata desire an extra ses sion if it can be avoided without detri ment to the interests of ^either party. It baa bean suggested, in behalf of the Re publicans, that if the House will make the required appropriations next winter it will be possible for the administration to make such arrangements aa will include all necessary provision for the army. The Democrats say they are willing for this on the condition that the army be rigorous ly withheld from any interference in Southern affairs. It is understood that there is a disposition on the part of those authorized to speak to givo such a pledge. If the matter can be satisfactorily ar ranged the extra session will undoubt edly be dispensed with. Bonn's Opinion.—General Butler baa bean interviewed by e Tribune reporter. He expressed himself freely, and endors ed the polley of the President toward the South. He was not, he said, “Ie a posi tion to indicate what would be the work ing of the new polioy in Louisiana, but he believed if the protection of the Gen eral Government were withdrawn, that the Democrats would quickly get posses- aionof the State House, if it had to be done over the dead bodies of their oppo nents, aa in 1866. It might ba tha beat thing to do, though even at such a coat, A general some times aant a brigade into action to be ont to pieces, so that he might get time to dispose other troops advantageously. The brigade might thiuk it vary rough on tbsm, and not be able to see that it waa for tha general good.” Ha would be glad, ha oontinned, if the power of controlling appointments waa taken out of the hands of Oongreaamen. Hia viow of eivil aervioa reform waa a Bhangs of offleei* ones in four years. Ha will satisfied wilb the Cabinet,and thought that the President should have a chance to Inaugurate hit policy before judgment was passed suit. RO SHAMEFUL COMPROMISE*. The general tenor of diapatobm aeema to indicate that Hampton, in South Caro lina, may be granted what he desires— the removal of troopa from the State Houao; but thet Packard will be sup ported in Loulalene. Bight-to-Beven has simply transformed himaelf into a trim mer, a ahamelesa figure heed, governed exactly by what John Sherman—the man who, on $6,000 e year salary, has become a millionaire—dictates. He ia deairons of effecting a compromise that will suit the Conservative element in no aeotion of the country. He pnrpoeely misapprehends the purposes and aims of tha entire South. Neither Hampton nor Nioholla have asked him for recogni tion. Neither desire it. All ever asked of him—all that ianow demanded—la that he will withdraw hia troopa and allow the two StateB aa mueh fltodom to support the government of their cboioe aa ia al lowed New York or Ohio. Barely this la not unreasonable. Tha Democratic lead- era have pledged themselves that no bloodshed will ooenrbnt that the lews will be observed with equal justios to all, re gardless of oolor or previona oondition. They do not intend violating solamn ob ligations like Foster, Matthewa and Hayea, who authorized them to do what ^boy have, and then deolared he did not, as soon as the frand that gave aucoesa to him was consummated. Hia Fraudulenoy answers thia request, regardless of his plighted word, by sending a Commission to Louisiana, and inviting Chamberlain aud Hampton to Washington. Tha pur- port oan bs easily understood. It is doubt ful whether troops will be removed from South Caorlina, aud aa oertein aa thraa Bepublioana and two Demoorata are gent to Louisiana, the Oommiaaion will deoide in favor of Packard. It will ba three to two aa it waa eight to aevan. This ia the mode by which Bradley’s man proposes to draw the old Whigs to hia support. He will not win one. He is faster gaining the hatred and contempt of the South than ever Grant did. They infinitely prefer the latter for he made no preten tions to a hyproeritioal pacificator. Ha waa bold and open. Hayea approaches with a loving smile, and while ono is shaking hands, like a treacheroua coward gives a blow. Nothing oan be expected from a ohoat and swindler. Congress meets in two months. The House has sevenfeen majority. Let the Democrats iusist on their amendment. Make no appropriations for the army until troops are withdrawn from Louisiana and South Carolina. Trust to no agree ments. Hayes is false and faithless. Ha has shown hia trne eharaoters. If Kay was a trne Democrat he would no longer romain in that Cabinot. Hayes’ fine promises and fluent words have been proven a snare and a cheat. No confi dence is to bo placed in him. His policy is that of the narrow-minded bigot who believes none outside the Republican party have any rights. The rest aro not oitizeng of this county. The Demoorata have the power. Let them oxoroiae it. Meet foree by forae. That's the only way by whioh Elght-to-sovon oan be indnoed to oome to terms. LOUISIANA SITUATION. Tho people are rallying unanimously to the support of Governor NiohollB. Tha Chamber of Commeroe, Cotton Exohange, and thousands of merchants in New Or leans have signed resolutions that they will support NiohollB and no other. Tho sentiment of wealth, position and intelli gence is universal. Paokard has*no sup port except Ignorant negroes, carpet-bag gers, bniumers, United States officials and onstom house officers, who expeot a share of the “swag” he expects to realize. Gov. Niobolls has issued a manly procla mation,atating hia goverumentis complete in all departments, and oalling on the people, ns they have already done, to continue in the support of the govern ment of their ehoioe. He adds that the rights of the people will never be com promised by him. Paokard also haa issued a proclama tion. He announces that the Nioholla Government haa not a single legal right. We suppose he bases thia on the state ment imputed by Kellogg to Hayes— that Nicholls’ courts had no legal author ity. One thing is very evident. If Hayea oarried Louiaiana, so did Packard. The returns show that both were defeated by 8,000 majority, but four Radicals, con stituting a Returning Hoard, said they were eleeted. We do not believe there ia an honorable man in the United States or elsewhere who believes Hayes waa legiti mately eleoted in Louiaiana. He ia tha aooeptor of bold, deliberate frand and perjury. He aud Paokard are in the same boat. He can't go book on bie pal. He must keep troops there to support him, for he shared in the robbery. Both aro partners in orime. Iu South Carolina the caae was differs ereut. There, Hayea waa eleeted end so waa Hampton. If Hayea will take his bayonets from Louiaiana the Paokard Government would not live a week. MOW SHALL WE BE6EIVE TMl COMMISSION T The New Orleans Picayune thus speaks of the intended oommiaaion, and it apaeks to the point: “The poor camp of Spartaona ia hon ored overmuch." Sinoe 1870 New Or leans haa bad the privilege of extending her hospitalities to Congressional oom mittees of every politioal complexion, oommitteea of investigation, committees of compromise, irresponsible oommitteea of “distinguished visitors,” and now to orowu its exalatation this favored city is about to reeeive a real liva oommiaaion appointed by a man himaelf the produot of a commission. If Mr. Nioholla is not the Governor of thia State the Proas ident knowa it and haa known it ever sinee his own eleotion or Donat ing in. When, therefore, be proposes to aceord or refuse him recognition acoording to the politioal bias of the gen tlemen whom the General Assembly may aand to the Senate, he not only groaaly violates the autonomy of n sovereign BUte, bnt he atnltifies himself end rever ses his distinctly ennonueed Southern l polioy. We have so favors to ask of tha President. Ha owes his seat to the refns- j el of the Southern members to join in the filibustering whioh so nearly defeated tha ! electoral ooont. If be surrenders now to the Morton end Blaine wing of his party ha will unite tha Sooth against him, and will place himself in antagonism to those better Republican elements represented in hia own Cabinet by Sohnrz and Evarts. He cannot afford to do that. We hold the key of the position, and it would be oriminally weak In ns to listen again to that siren voioe of compromise whioh in times past baa led na into anoh devious way*/ There la a rumor in circulation that some oorreapondenoe haa passed between Judge Joe Bradley, the patent President maker, otherwise known as “the fifth judge,” and Judge Jere Blsok, “the no. blast Roman of them all,’’ who had some thing to say, it will be remembered, on tha occasion of the final argument before the Electoral Oommiaaion, abont the mills of God grinding dreadfully fine—not ex- oeeding fine aa the poet pat it—and about the water being about to be turned on, and a foreshadowing of what may ba ex* peeted in oonaequenoe. The fifth judge took a great deal of this to apply to him aelf (and thet ig exactly where Judge Blaok intended it should apply), and tbs oftener he read the closing paragraph of Blaok'a great and grinding speeoh, the more ha beoame worried over it. Finally tha atoiy goes, he made up hia mind he would address Judge Blaok a letter, asking him to explain, hoping that in the goodneas of hia heart, the exoito- ment of the hour having to some extent passed away, he would answer in an apol- ogetio way, whioh apology would bs a very handy thing for Judge Bradley to show to bis frinds, even if he waa not allowed to have it printed for the eye of tha public. Well, the note to Blaok waa aant, and in reply, the f. j. received one of Judge Black’s famous four-ootamn, ponderous notes, whioh set the f. j. wild. This reply has not been shown bnt to a few personal friends, and it is aafe to wagor, that Judge Bradley will never print it. It ia ten times aa grinding aa Blaok'a Bpeoob, and leaves no room for doubt as to who was referred to by him. The Speakership.—A dispatch says The names of two hundred and eighty members will be called, of whom one hundred end fifty are Democrats, thus giv ing a elear Democratic majority of twenty on the organization of the Honse. Mr. Randall, who is here, has, it is olaimed, seventy votes pledged to him. Mr. Mor rison, it is said, oan control from twenty to thirty, whioh he will oarry over to Randall when he finds that he has no ohanoe himself. It ia said that somo of the Southern Republicans have made overtures to Mr. Saylor, but it is more than likely that there ia nothing at all in thia statement. Mr. Cox's votes, it it •aid, oan only be nsed os a whole for him, and when he ia out of the way they will •eatter. There is a generally expressed belief that John G. Thompson will be re-elected as sergeant-at arms, while a new man will Bnooeed Mr. Patterson as door-keeper. Mr. Caldwell, of Alabama, haa considerable support for the olerk- sbip, bnt Mr. Adams will in all probabil ity be re-elected. Acts vs. Plei qes.—His Fraudulenoy haa talked pages about home-rule and local self-government, and paoifying the Country. He gives two States the bayo net,aud supports with them every lladieal be oan disoover. He professes to love the nogro, and gave a mulatto, Fred Douglass, a big place in Washington be cause he was remotely eonueoted with that race. Douglass won't speak to a common negro, and ban more white than blaok traces iu his veins. All this is very gratifying to the Dem orats. They’ll beet Hayea and bis crowd so badly in I860 that the Returning Boards will not have an opportnnity to count. He has solidified the Southern masses more strongly than ever against him, for he has forfeited the most solemn pledges, aod for a frank, open policy substituted that of compromises and John Sherman. A MASSACRE JUSTIFIED BT T1IE HIHLF. Ex-Bishop John D. Lee, the Mormon who was shot last Friday for being en gaged in the bloody and treaaheroua mas sacre of emigrants in Utah Territory in 1857, haa this in his oonfession : “It waa further told the men that Presi dent Haight said that if we were faithful in oarrying out the inseruotions we would all reoeive a celestial reward. I said 'I waa willing to put up with a leas reward if I oonld be excused. How oan you do this without shedding innoeent blood ?' Here I got another lampooning for my stubbornness and disobedienoe to the priesthood. I was told that theie was not e drop of innooent blood in the whole oompeny of emigrants. They atio referred to the Gentile nations who re fused the obildren of Israel passage through their oountry when Moaes led them ont of Egypt, thet the Lord held that orime agaiost them, end when Israel waxed strong the Lord oommanded Josh na to alay the whole nation, men, women and ehildren. Have not these people done worse than that to ns ? Have they not threatened to murder our leaders and prophets, and have they not boasted of murdering our patriarohs and prophets, Joseph and Hyram? Now talk about shielding innoeent blood. They said I wax a good, liberal, free-hearted mau, bnt too mneb of this, sympathy would be always in the way; that every man now had to show in colors; that it was not aafe to hove a Jades in camp.” Tax Constitution of Massachusetts dis franchises persona dependent on publio charity, bnt the law has been for a long time almost a dead letter. It ia now pro posed to revive it. The pauper vote is used in country towns by overseen of the poor to perpetaate themselves and their friends in offioe for the paupers are not likely to go contrary to those who feed them. It is alleged that there are not leas than 20,000 voten receiving publio aid in Massachusetts, and the withdrawal of snoh a pliable element from tha politi cal field must produce a marked effect in the loeel elections. —The Conetitution soya Senators Gor don end Hill ere exported home this week. SERIAL RMRAPMIfTS ro* KEZPIN0 FAITH WITH THB SOUTH—WHAT THB%HOLH COUNTRY REQUIRES. Special to Jonrast or commeiee.] Naw Yobs, March 24.— Of the oonrae of the President on the Sooth Carolina osse the World rays: “There is nothing left bnt for President Hayes to take the responsibility of continuing or discontin uing the use of the United States army to enforoe the el aims of beaten candidates for Southern State offlocs. One line or the other he must take; tkere is no snoh thing ea a diagonal between lines directly opposed. President Hayea has been wasting hia time and tha patienee of the public, in aearoh of snob n third line. Mr. Matthews had tried, end failed, to get Chamberlain and Packard to help the President shirk hia rsaponaibility. The President he* tried again for himself, by a fresh Commission in Lon- isiana, and now by an invitation to the Governor end the claimant in Bonth Car olina, to meet him in Washington and talk it over. Republicans and Democrats alike mnat be indignant at this solemn trifling. The pretext that the President needs information on the condition of these two States is ridiculous. Home thousands of pages of information acquired for the use of the President and Congress, and print ed at the government printing offioe, are now extant, and aooesaible to Mr. Hayea. The Sun under the Caption “Booth Carolina CarpaAaggers Win,” says: Mr. Hayes has lowlurued his baok upon bis so-oailed polioy in Booth Carolina, aa wall aa io Louisiana. Ha has invited eaoh of the rival Governors to oome to Washing* ton and present hit esse. In thia measure the esrpet-baggera win another victory, while those two spepisl rascals, Chamberlain end John Pattereon gain a new delay, leaving the door open for the final adoption of the old method of maintaining fraudulent State Govern* meats by the use of Federal bayonets, whioh Mr. Hayes professed and promised to repudiate. Toe Republican journals that have been orowing over the defeat of Blaine and the bloody shirt, and praising Hayes’ con ciliation of the Booth, had better prepate to change their tune. Mr. Hayes oosnges what he is pleased to oall his mind, and they most obange iheir'a with him. ‘ The Journal of Commerce editorially says: It President Hayea ia coquetting with the Southern Conservatiee, the pa pers representing the latter do not seem io be in the secret. The Conservative journals of Nsw Or leans and elsewhere in the South are unit edly opposed to further delay in the oases of Louisiana and Booth Carolina, on any pretext or conditions. The only reasonable way of settling the difficulties at the South is to make no bargain at all. If the President will bnt set right in this business, and honestly try to fnlfill the spirit of hia inaugural address, he oan implicitly trust the South ern Senators and Representatives to stand by bim in every effort he may maka to give good government to all parts of the oountry. Whatever the President's motive may be, the idea of appointing a commission to visit and report upon Louisiana is a mistake. In his publio utterances he has pledged himself to a polioy non-inter* fereuoe in Southern States affairs, and has repudiated the use of Federal troopa in that oonneotion. These promises were hailed enthusiastically by the moderate men of both parties in all seotiona of the Union. Had the President’s first official act been the withdrawal of the troops from Lonisisna and South Carolina, it would have been very generally approved on all Bides. The Herald on the snbjeot of the anr* render of the President, says: “The poli oy anoounoed in his inangnral message exeited the moat bitter opposition, but the oountry approved it so deoidedly,that the opponents were silenoed almost before they oonld speak. They ‘hung it np’ in committee. But the country once more spoke and tbs Senators were eowed into confirming the Cabinet. Then Senator Blaine demanded the installation of Kel logg aa the means of making Paokard Governor of Lonisiana,but the President's wishes triumphed, Kellogg slumbered in the eleotion committee, and the Senate refused to settle the Louisiana question. The oountry expected a settlement of the Southern question. Everybody understood that that bars the way to all other reforms now, as it has done for the- last eight years. It is thought that the great President must pass to all the fields he bee laid ont for eonqueBt. He oan neither reform cur rency, nor reform eivil eervioe, nor re form parties, nntil he.haa brought the oonutry baok to constitutional govern ment, and yet he delays. Ten days ago he had vanquished ell opposition. The carpet-baggers were demoralised. Mr. Blaine was silenced, and the country was st his bsek regardless of party lines. This was the time to withdraw the troopa, to tell the country that hereafter the Constitution should rule, and Louisi ana and South Carolina ahonld govern themaelvoa as New York and Ohio does to-day. Thia work will probably seam to him more diffienlt, bnt the difficulties are of his own making. Ten days hence they will be greater yet. < HENRY WATTERSON. PUBLIO BSOBPTION AT LOUISVILLB. Louisville, Maroh 22.—The pnblie re ception to Henry Watterson earns off to. night, end was an imposing affair. Jndge Barnett, Chairmen of the Demooratie State Committee, presided. At 8 o’clock Mr. Watterson appearing before the audienoe surrounded by the moat prominent oitiaeoa of Lonisvil|e, waa enthusiastically cheered. Aa address of weloome was delivered by Hon. Charles D. Jaoob, Mayor of the oity. In response, Mr. Watterson reviewed at length the oirenmsts neea oulminating in the defeat of Mr. Tilden, telling the story of the last session of Congress in a straightforward, nnexoited way. He then disonased the present sitnation of the oountry, declaring that the hope of the South lay exolasively in material development. He advooated i Southern railroad to the Pa aide, and said that if the Mis sissippi ran through New England, it would have been leveed np to the moon long ego. He spoke temperately of the President, promising that the Booth wonld give e non-partiaan support to suoh of hia measures ss were lost. As for the Demooratie party,it would not be dis- oonraged or divided. Mr. Hayea might strengthen the Repnbliesn party in the Sonth by a genuine polioy of reconcil iation and reform. The speaker hoped that the President would, for the Bepublieen party in the Booth needs improvement, and Mr. Wat terson wanted to see it good anongh to re spect. Mr. Watterson closed by predieting that the Democratic party wonld prepare, by peaceful arts and the development of the materiel intereats of the oountry, to oome into power four years hence as the friend and promoter of trne American citisen* ship. He wee warmly applauded through out. After the reception a banquet waa giv en him. _ The Texas Tribune says: “The late ‘atmospherical freshness' haa brought on many oaaee of Coughs and Golds, and Dr. BoU r a Cough Syrap ia in greater demand than ever. Mb. Nobdhoff, writing to the Herald, from Washington, says: The President’s letter to Gov. Hamp ton and Mr. Chamberlain is the ning of the end of the Sonth Oai troubles. Mr. Chamberlain will ’ civil bearing.

This ie the plain trnth of the matter. It ia worth telling, because Washington wee never so fall of false rumors as it bee been in these days Wbenthe oarpet-baggers are making their last desperate (tend. In reply to the charge that Carl Bchars wrote Hayes’ letter of eoeeptanoe, the Cincinnati Commercial aaya: Mr. Hayes wrote the letter himself, end was occupied with it only s part of one evening. It happened, we under stand, that Sohnrz sew it on the Batarday before it was pnbliahed, end that be made e suggestion to change a sentence in the civil service reform paragraph, which waa’ aooepted.
