New Yohx, April 15.—The Herald's New Orleans specials referring to the proposition of the Demooratlo osnous to the Commission to admit to the Legisla ture all members elected by the Parish Commissioners’ returns says: It is now generally believed that Paokard’s assent bad been privately obtained to the ar- i rangement before it was inangurated in its present form.- At all avants, the Com missioners appear to be thoroughly re lieved from anxiety, and wear the air of having accomplished their work. FINAL ADJUSTMENT PROBABLE. Naw Orleans, April 16.—The Commis sioners will remain for some days for final adjustment, whieh now seems probable. WABMOUTH TO Join NIOHOLL8. Washington, April 16.—The Herald's New Orleans apeoial says the opposition in the Demoeratio canons to a compromise is smoothed over. Coventor Warmooth is only waiting for the plan to assume acceptance by the Nieholls Legislature and the President, when he and friends will go to Niohoila’ Legislature, regardless of Paekard’a wishes. Paokard still insiats upon a recognition by the President of himeelf or Nioholle, intimating this will place the President end Commission on moord before the people. the oontbovebsy pbactioally settled— BBBOLUTIONB BY NICHOLLS’ LEGISLATURE. The Tribune's apeoial rays the contro versy is praetieally settled, but two or three, days are required to arrange details. The compromise is that the Legislature is to be organised when the prime fuels right to seats are presented, disregarding the aotion of Wells, Ander son & Co. This theoratioally leaves the Gubernatorial question open, bnt practi cally inaugurates Nioholle. Ills dispstoh rays the Nioholle Legislature to-day (Monday) passed a resolution giving effeot to the programme of the settlement, and Will alas pass resolutions covering the fol lowing points: Confidence in and support of President Hayes. A guarantee to aooept the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments to the Constitu tion. The fullest protection of the colored people in all the rights and privileges of parson and property.

Special to Enquirer-Sun.] Washington, April 16.—The President has received only one communication from the Louisiana Commissioners, end that was on Thursday last, giving an ac count of the progress of affairs np to that time, and asking for additional inatrnot. ions, wbioh ware promptly forwarded. They did not modify the original instruct ions, hot ware merely explanatory of oertaio of them in regard to whioh the Commission desired farther information. The President has no intimation aa to when the Commission will return to Washington, bnt the opinion is expressed that they may oomplete their business so as to return here by Saturday or MotfBay next There is no doubt that the troops will be withdrawn from New Orleans, as inti mate friends of the President say that it is not to be expected that be will pnrane in Louisiana a oourse different from that in South Carolina; bnt it is an open question when it will be beat to aat, therefore no time is fixed for the banana* of an order for the with- draws! of the troops. It is the desire of the President that the Commission shall have the tallest opportunity for the com pletion of their work, and Speclel to Enquirer-Sun.] Washington, April 15.—President Hayea said, in the ooorsa of a conversa tion yesterday, that he bad no conceal ments regarding his Southern policy, whioh, however, have been foreshadowed in oral and) written ntteraneee, and in this oonneotion he adverted to the Guber natorial campaign in Ohio in 1875, whioh resulted in hit election over Governor Allen, the people of the State having a fall knowledge of his sentiments on na tional questions, including, of eonrBe, those whioh related to the Sonth. The opening speech of a gubernatorial candidate is generally considered to be the key note of the rampaign, and in suoh a speech as early as the Slat of Jnly of that year at Harioa, be freely and dis tinctly sxpreaaed his opinions. This speeoh was published at length in all the Bepnblioon and many other newspapers, and, therefore, his views ware generally known. In that speeoh, after eongrato lating his fellow oltlxens in the oomplete triumph over those who sought to destroy the Union, and the grand results of the war, he alluded to ooming together again of Northern and Southern aaea 4* n epMtof harmony and friendship, inolnding those who had fooght against one another, and aa a prominent feature in this evidence of good feeling, he on that oooaaion spoke of the kindly manner in whioh Vioe Pres ident Wilson wes reoeived on his visit to the Sonth in this era of good feeling and reconciliation. He farther said that there were still persons who talked of bayonets and wbo sought to revive the prejndioes of the post. This was mnoh to be regret, ted, bnt there was enough to fill every heart with gratitude, the Sonth being no longer divided and all the inhabitants having a fair start in the raoe for life. In this and in all hia other speeches he earnestly condemned the re-opening of the old issues between North and South, assuming that the time had come for a oomplete reeonoiliation. The President, in farther conversation, referred to the feet that the National Re publican Convention whioh nominated him for the Presidency passed a resolution saoredly pledging the Republican party te proteot every oitixen of the United States in all hia oivil and politieal rights, and declaring that the permanent paoifl ration of the Sonth should be offered by removing all causes of disoord. The spirit of this resolution was in perfeot aooord with his own views previously ex- pressed, and he repeated them in hie letter of aeoeptanoe of the nomination, and more folly elaborated them in hie in augural address, consistently maintaining the polioy of reoonoilation and local-self government apart from military support, and whan he entered npon the dntiee of the Presidency,he intended that his polioy shonid not be one of* sentiment merely, bnt of aotnel administration. He spoke with emphasis, when hs said “My belief is this coarse tends to give good government to the Sonth. It tends to secure peace between the Motions and between reoes and parties at the Sonth, and it tends to seonrs the rights, interests and safety of the oolored people. There, fore I am in favor of the polioy. I do not know whether I shall snooeed in mrrying it oat, because there are Northern and Southern man, who, in various ways, may possibly thwart mi, bnt of one thing I am oonfldent, namely, I think it my doty to try to oarry'ont the polioy, and I going to do it I ” War Regarded by All as Inevitable. The Russian Ambassador Has Probably Left Constantinople. DBTAILS PERSONAL AND OTHERWISE. Washington, April 16.—The apeoial oommiaeion investigating mail transpor tation will be at Montgomery to-night. The delegation at the White House to day was in bshalf of Miss Van Lew, of Richmond. The President gave them no satisfac tion, beyond hia usual phrase that no one wonld be removed without ranee. It may be stated the President has so far shown little snieeptibility to the influ ence of delegations. There are UOO employed in the the Bu reau of Printing and Engraving, and 200 will ba discharged Wednesday and 300 the 1st of May. A Quaker delegation oalled on tha Press ident in behalf of the Universal Peace Union. Replying to their address, tba President said ha was in favor of pesos everywhere, whioh would be his guide for the next four years ss fully stated in his intngnral.

The engineers report foundation not sufficient to bear addi tional weight. THE SPEAEEESHIP AND PASTIMS. The Democratic Congressional Com mitte here,have advioeefrom every Sonth ern State and dlstriot in, regard to the coming contest for Speaker. It ia assert ed that there ia not a aign or probability of defaotion in any quarter, and all alio gationa to that effeot, or aa to a possible coalition with the Administration to oars a Republican Speaker, are denied oe absolutely unfounded. Alexander H. Stephens, who is grade ally improving in health, annonnoes bis intentioa to bn carried to the House of Representatives in order to vote for Speaker. The Democrats confidently claim ten end perhaps twelve as their majority. Some Bonthern Repnblioans oontinue to threaten to bolt a oanona nomination, bat it is expected that all will fall into line when the time for voting arrives. MAIL BXBVIOE.

The Standard's apeoial from Pesth rays all the journals here have agreed that it is impossible for Austria and Hungary to remain neutral in the war which impends. They unanimously argue in favor of an alliance with England against Russia. Anstria and Hungary are even more in terested than England, in preventing the entrance of the Russians to Bulgaria. DEBATE pi BOOM OV HMDS. London, April 16.—In the House of LordB this afternoon Earl Granville criti cised the Government’s policy toaohing the Eastern Question. He said the pro toeol was nearly the seme os the Berlin memorandum. Why did not the Govern ment aooept that? The united aotion of Europe at that time might have prevented war. Neither Russia nor Turkey had then taken an irretraceable position. Hs at tacked the Minister’s boasts about raising England’s position abroad whioh now sab. jeots them to ridiaale, and be advooated an European oonoert for the better gov ernment of Tnrkey. Lord Derby in reply vindicated the protoool. He said he believed the House wonld agree with him that nnder existing oironmstanoes it was best not to say any thing oonoerning the future. PHILADELPHIA.

Editors Chronicle and Constitutionalist : The oironlar letter to whioh Mr. Wright oalled my attention has not been receiv ed. I cannot, therefore, answer the spo- oiUo questions of the letter. The inquiries of many persons, daily ooming or writing to me, will, perhaps, render it proper for tna to explain moro fully than 1 have yet done tba rule which I have prescribed for myself as a Senator on the subjeot of appointments to office. 1 do not intend to prescribe s rale for others,nortooeiuare others who may dif fer from me, and who have prescribed or may prescribe for themselves a differ ent rale of oondoot on this subjeot. When Mr. Hayes was inaugurated and ennonnoed his patriotic purpose to give the oountry a non-partisan administration and a better oivil service, I deemed it proper to oonsider what wonld be the proper relations of a Southern Democrat ic Senator to suoh a President. This inquiry soon led me, for the first time in my life, to a full investigation into the whole question of the proper relations of a member of Congress, and especially of Senators, to the appointing power. The oonolusion at whioh I arrived was an nounced to the publie in a telegram in these words: With my sense of pnblio dnty, I cau make no reooumendation for office—ea- peoially for offlaes to be passed upon by the Senate. There oan be no reform un less Congressional control of exeeutive appointments be broken up.” Farther reflection, greatly hided by a rapid experience, has most thoroughly confirmed me in the exeot correctness of this oonolusion. Some of the reasons in support ot this oonolnsion I will now I mean the use of the offices of govern ment to promote personal intersets and ambitions. Three-iourths of tha evil* that now enrse the oountry, and nearly all the perils that have tnreateued the - ** Government, have sprung from thin great orioie. There ere men—noisy men, too -in both the Senate and House M Washing ton, whose only idea of the catenae of government is defined by tba aft at con trolling the poblie patronage as a mapp* of bolding power. They form rings, make combinations, organise cliques, and in some instances absolutely control large Slates.

Louis Globe-Demoorat.] Mr. aud Mrs. Andrew Einstmann and Mrs. Soott, tba mother, of the latter oc cupied a room ou the Fourth street front. They received tho warning late, and all hope of esoape by the lislls was vain. They rigged pne of those vain and delu sive ropes of blankets. Mr. Einstmsnn, iu order to test the strength of the rope, started to come down first. Slowly but surely one of the llimsey blankets parted its threads, and away down on the bard pavement he fell, with a sick ening thnd while the vest orowd groaned in unison. Mr. Einstmsnn never moved. Mrs. Soott, an old lady, feeble aud weak, did not see the horrible fate of her son-in-law. She started down this ladder of dealh, aud tha poor old lady fell to the pavement below, aud lay motiou- loss, bones brokou add blood oozing from a terrible out across the forehead, whioh dyed her silvery hairs. She was not killed, but last night she was vary pale and weak, in a bed-room in a rssidonoc at No. 667 Catalpa street. The dootor said she oould not live through the night. Down in the parlor the form of pour Audrew Einstmann lay, await ing tha burial of to-day. Mrs. Eiusinann alone survived.

L Under the Constitution the fane tfan* of government are divided and veeSed in three separate deportments. This division was unwise unless it was necessary and promotive of efficient aud harmonious administration. If the division is unwise the Constitution ought to be obsnged. If it is wise every good oitizen should aid its purpose by observing its terms. But whether this division was wise or unwise, it is the Constitution, and every man wbo is en trusted to take part in the administra tion of that Constitntion is under the most solemn obligation of bis oath to re- speot and observe it. Now the fnnotious of Congress are legislative. The luna tions of the President sre executive. There are oertaiu checks npon each not material here to mention. The appointments I am now oonsidering are exeontive. A mem ber of Congress who seeks te interfere with and oontrol exeontive functions is just ss mnoh ont of his plsoe snd his duty as wonld be the President undertaking to interfere with and oontrol legislative fnnotions; and either, in the oase sup posed, would be jast ss gailty of violating the Constitution as if he were to negleot and disregard the fnnotions of the depart ment to whioh be belongs. 2. Bat the Senate ia clothed with cer tain executive functions and dntiea. It is, in this respeet, the advisory body of the President. But advisory, bow ? is a Houa tor to advise the President whom he, the Senator, woubl like to have nominated V Is be not rather to advise the President whether nominations made are of fit aud proper persons for the offioes designated ? This advisory position is a pnblio triiBt. each Senator is a trustee, not for himself nor for his friends, nor against bis ene mies, bnt for the pnblio good. The Sen ator represents the whole State and every oitizen in the State. Every citizen is entitled to have that representation fair, equal and impartial. When a Senator selects one Spplioant for an offloe, and represents that one, ho bo- oomes partial for that one, and partial against all others. He abdicates his of fice ot trustee tor all, and beooiuos the attorney for one, and, as experionee sadly shows, loo often for a consideration in some form ; and any consideration which iuduoes suoh partiality is quite as bsd, morally, as a consideration in monoy. Each applicant for an office is ontitled to an impartial consideration ot his merits for the offloe sought, and he is entitled, not only to that impartial judgment of his Senator, but also to impartial information from hia Senator as an adviser of all others who are to pass on the application. When the Senator becomes the advoouto for ono applicant, ho, by that aot, disqualifies himself both as a judge and an advisor npon the merits of all other applicants. In my opinion a Senator has no more right to seleot one of a number of appli cants for office, snd use tho influence of his position to give that applicant suc cess, than a Jrnlge on tho bench has the right to seleot one litigant in his Oourt snd use all the powers of his judicial posi tion to secure success for thut litigant. No man cau be fonder of bis friouds than myself. No man ean be more grati fied when bis friends succeed under a fair and impartial consideration of their merits. But restoem the pnblio good and my own duties as a pnblio servant to promote tho publio good, far before all personalities or obligations. If I were to use a pnblio office to gratify private friendships, or to avenge private wrongs, or to promote, in any way, my private or political interests, I should feel that I had become gailty of a gross breach of trust, for wbioh the proper penalty would bo disqualification to hold any pablio office whatever. These views, so plain when once stated, prevailed with nearly all—if not all—of oar leading statesmen in our early his tory. The first departure from them was partisan in its oharsoter and purposes. The departure has progressed until it has tool regards it aa hia aeored duty to krap the punliu aupplied with puffs of til* noble deeds and great eloqneno* of hi* beuefaetor. Thousands of offloe* hsv* bran floods solely to provide plsoes for friends of members of Clongrees. Millions of money are levied in taxes upon the people atraa- ally to feed these supple servants of sorao of our great meu. The President often finds himself denonnoed or his nomina tions opposed solely because they do not suit the purposes of these ring-chiefs in Gongross. The large orowd of osrpet-baggers that were sent South a faw years ago wore tho more tools of leading men who desired, through their tools, to get oontrol of tho Southern States for their own advanora ment. And there sre men now in tho Senate making themselves most valiant defenders of those who lings! to annoy our people aud disguat oil good mon, solely because they hope, through th*M few who remain here, to get delegation* to suit them in the next nominating R*> publican convention. Tho uffloea of the oonntry, too, ore filled with mere politicians reedy to servo their masters, instead of with men of basin*** experience and qualification. Iu their struggles to oontrol th* pablio pstronsge end wrench the Government from its real fnnotionB and to make it n machine to serve individuals snd rings instead of the whole oountry, we will find tho aotivo cause of the evils so forcibly snd truthfully dosoribed by Judge Hook: “Onr national politios have been mar red by bad passions snd seotionsl animos ities for rnaoy years past, and tha only legitimate offspring of them have been in tense strife and bloodshed, snd the hatch ing .out of a brood of small politicians oil over the laud, whose brains aud patriot ism ure as limited us their statesmanship has been contemptible.” How oon wo ever expect to elevate th* statesmanship yf the oountry, reform abuses and nationalize our politios if oven the high position of Senator is to b* de graded to an agenuy for offloe-sooksrs and general politioal jobbery? Even if the foregoing lessons were not sufficient to justify the conolaaton an nounced iu the above telegram, I am frank to oonfeas that, with my limited abilities, I am not able to discharge th* higher dutira of the Senstorship if I give my time to the business of procuring offices. The proper rule is for applioanls to for ward their applications for offloe directly to tho appointing poioer. Every applicant from Georgia has the right in hia applica tion to refer to me or any other Senator or Representative, for information touch ing his fitness for the office sought. I will obeerfully and honestly give suoh in formation as I possess to the President, if asked, before the nomination, and to the Senate in passing on the nomination. Before the President and the Senate every muu shall have from me an equal chance on his merits. Disregarding tho abuse aud misrepresentations of thow whom I cannot accommodate with a viola tion of my souse of duty—the least wor thy being always the most exacting snd spiteful—I shell rely only for support on au intelligent people who have no inter est hut in good government. We nro entering upon a new era. New and great questions will soon press ns for solution. If we would avoid s oontinusnoe of tile evil) that have cursed us in the past, wo must abandon tbe eauses that produced them. If we would elevate onr politios wo must improve the ways of onr politicians. If we would relieve tbe bur dens of the people we must sustain hon esty to government. We must have no office that is not needed and no officer that is not oompetent. Benjamin H. Hill. Two Irreconcilable Conditions. Debility and health are Irreconcilable cos- ditto os.
