Great Disappointment Among tbe De mocrats Hayes' Backbone Bent Badly Tbe Southern Queatlou. Special to Richmond Dispatch. Washington, March 21. The position of Sherman, Thomp son and McCrary towards the South ern question, as developed by the Cabinet meeting of yesterday, and the subsequent disposition of the Pre sident to yield to the scheme of a compromising commission, destroyed the confidence of Southern Democrats here in the firmness, and almost in the sincerity, of Hayes. Assurances amounting almost to a positive pro mise were given to representatives of Nicholls before the adjournment of the Senate, and they have since been encouraged to believe the troops would' be withdrawn from the imme diate flfepport of Packard. To resort to that-indirect means of establishing a government in the disturbed States compared unfavorably with the man ly course of meeting the difficulty stmarely by a direct recognition of owor-ihe other rival Governors, but ) i rBBssst-aaant q 1 ivoa r f "T i rK r la morn willTP to accept it as the best thev were likely to get aw the adminis- tr G na must Hayes is another THE CEPLUN- DEREES fastened upon them by the Wheehfr compromise a few years ge. That Hayes has disregarded the eloquence of Evarts and Schurz, id, yielding to the bitterness ot ihu Sherman and Thompson, has hrkea the very first serious obstacle the way of reconciliation ana lome rule at the South, proves a bitter disappointment to the hopes of conservative -men in this city, as it fast throughout tbe Union. RPET-BAGGERS WRUNG THEIE HANDS IN AFFECTED TERROR, and said if tbe troops were removed -roraWew Orleans they would not dare so back to Louisiana for fear of leicPurdered by the White League. Xcn&epublican would be safe, and hundreds of poor negroes would be butchered for opinion's sake That oiettled it. The Cabinet unanimously resolved at itsTSession this morning to send a commission to ascertain the actual condition of affairs, and to report whether the poor negro would be safe in Louisiana under Democratic rule, or to effect a compromise. Af ter tlie'secretaries retired the Presi dent sent for Representatives Gib son, Ellis and Levy, of Louisiana, and informed them of the decision of the Cabinet." He said the composition of the commission will be satisfactory to their people, and will shortly be an nounced, but it is not yet definitely made up. They told the President their people would be disappointed, and, on their behalf, protested against it. 1 he Jf resident said it was USELESS TO ARGUE THE MATTER, as the decision was irrevocable. He spoke with greater firmness than usual. Wheeler said the General in command will at once be instructed to preserve the status quo, and if Packard or anybody else (emphasiz ing these words) brings on a conflict the military (raising his arm and bringing it down sharply) will act with a stiff hand. Gibson, Ellis and Levy retired with the understanding that they would be allowed an audi ence to morrow to present a written protest. These gentlemen are bitter in the disappointment of their just expecta tion, based upon the assurances of Hayes and his most intimate friends. They point at the significant absence of Foster and Matthews from his coun cil, and begin to suspect they have been tricked. They say Wheeler, who is suggested as leader of the commis sion, ispeculiarly obnoxious to their people, because by the compromise he effected a few years ago Kellogg was enabled to defeat the passage of all THEY yji iu ami ssi KBM-ii-p i W sssssl ssssssssVa: iTT'sssi m D03si Wat VlTH 4t THE VOL.

For commissioners the names of Wheeler, David Davis, Kenneth Ray nor, Governor Brown, of Georgia, Stanley Matthews, Foster, of Ohio, Wayne McVeigh, John B. Hender son, William Walter Phelps, John Young Brown, and Rockwood Hoar, were most prominently discussed. Wheeler had declined, but may ac cept if pressed. Davis, Raynor, and Foster werebjected to in the Cabinet. The extension of the franking priv ilege to cover all public documents is flooding the mails with all sorts of publications that have accumulated for a year or two in committee rooms and at the lodgingsof Congressmen. The average of mail matter from the House post-office alone, not including letters, is abont two hundred and fifty sacks per day. Some members have sent off in the last three weeks two thousand volumes, upon which they felt too poor to pay the postage while tbe franking privilege was sus pended. An eloping oouplo and a party of friends arrived from Richmond this morning and registered at the Ebbitt House. The party consisted of Miss Linda Ragland, the intended bride; Mr. R. F. Sizer, the groom elect; Dr. Hatcher, John Ragland, and Furman Tupper. A license was procured, and the marriage ceremony perform ed by Dr. Hatcher in the parlor of the Ebbitt House. The Evening Star says: "It was the same old story of the unrelenting mama, who desired her daughter to marry the crusty old bachelor when she had given her heart to the hand some young gentleman, and was bound to have her own way." The happy pair left the city to night on their wedding tour north ward. Press Dlspatcbea. WHAT THE "HERALD" HAS TO SAY ABOUT IT. New York, March 21. The Herald says that the country will regret the failure of the Cabinet to reach any definite conclusions yes terday respecting the unfortunate po litical condition of Louisiana and South Carolina. The editor adds: "We trust this appearance of vacilla tion will not continue much longer, because it tends to undermine confi dence, not only in the sincerity, but in the steadiness of President Hayes. It will not do for him to let the coun- get the impression that, having decided on a course of action as right, he quails before obstacles. The Louisiana members reiterate their protest against it to-day in the most emphatic manner, and General Gibson told the President that he had no language in which to express to him their sense of disappointment and regret at the course which he has concluded to pursue, and they will to-morrow draw up a formal protest against the executive action of to day, which they will lay before the President. The President stated to General Gibson this morning that this step must not be construed as reversing his policy in regard to Louisiana, and that he had not been influenced by the bluster of Packard to a promi nent Senator. He stated that his purpose was to have the troops en force the peace more strictly than ever. Democratic OiHce-seckef s. "Correspondence of Norfolk Landmark. Washington, March 20. I had a long interview this morning with Colonel Mosby, and the result was that it almost changed one's idea of human nature, especially Virginia nature. To a man op the tree, and who bad no axe to grind, it is both lamentable and laughable to see the scramble after petty offices by men who were supposed to hold their heads high in the air. Col. Mosby told me that he had received many letters from the strongest Bourbon Democrats asking for place, and that they all endorsed his political course, and that those who wanted Tildeu or war, rights or blood ! are the very ones who now cringe before the powers that be. Some of these letters from prominent Democrats breathe the most fulsome adulation of the new regime that ever mortal read, and the writers eat their peck of dirt at one sitting. Mosby must be by this time both a misanthrope and cynic, for he sees so much of the despicable side of human nature that be cannot believe that such things as lofty honor, high pride and proud self-respect are in existence, and that, as Sir Horace Walpole would say, every man has his price and in these times a very small price would buy the best of them. He also informed me that two members of Congress from our State had requested his influence for places for their friends. An Historic Chair. Concord Sun. A chair of "ye olden time" was sent to Deaton & Castor's cabinet shop last week for repairs by a lady of this town who inherits it from her great-great-grandfather. It is built of walnut wood and its dimensions are bulky and the workmanship rath er rough. Several romances of the WILMINGTON, revolutionary war are attached to this chair. On one occasion it was barjed in the ground to prevent its destruction by Tories. George Wash ington once ate a ginger-cake and drank a glass of hard cider while seated in it, and for that reason, if none other, it sbould be preserved in the family as a relic of historical ro mance. Notwithstanding its age, the wood is yet in a good state of preser vation, being sound and solid, and the! only repair needed was a new rocker. Spirits Turpentine. Anson jail has ten boarders.

The weather yesterday was damp, misty and disagreeable, rendering it very unpleasant to those who considered it their duty to remain about the various poll ing places. Messrs. W. R. Stearns and D. S.

She was sitting in front of the fire place with her infant child in her arms, when her daughter came into the room and attempted to place a lighted kero sene lamp on the mantel-piece; but in do ing so the sleeve of her dress got bitched under the bottom of the lamp and in taking her arm down hastily it was jerked from the mantel piece and fell upon the head of her mother, from whence it toppled into her lap. Fortunately, at this critical moment, when the clothing of the lady and her child was saturated with the oil from the lamp, the light by some means beeame smothered and suddenly went out. To this fortuitous circumstance, doubtless, the lady, as well as her infant, are indebted for their escape from horrible suffering and perhaps death. As it was, the hand of thejmother was very badly burned by coming in contact with the flame before it was extinguished. An Old Acquaintance. The steamer Cumberland, which formerly run between this city and Fayetteville has just entered regularly on the river trade from Savannah to Augusta.

She has two powerful en gines and can make from twelve to thirteen miles against the current and seventeen miles with if. She will make the distance between Augusta and Savannah in two days. Her cabins are beautifully fitted up, and she has accommodations for thirty cabin passengers, and can carry at present four hundred bales of cotton. This capacity will be increased to five hundred bales." nVNICIPAL. The Election Yesterday. The municipal election in this city yes terday, for members of the Board of Alder men, passed off much more quietly than many had supposed would be the case. In the Fourth Ward, where there were two sets of candidates on the Democratic side, a few words of an unpleasant character were exchanged, in tbe midst of heated discus sions as to the merits and claims of the rival candidates, but no personal collisions oc curred. In the lower division of the First Ward a difficulty arose between the two white rival Republican candidates, but for tunately no more effective weapon than the tongue was brought into requisition. In the Second, Third and Fifth Wards, we believe, the election was about as quiet and orderly as usual. . In the First Ward there were no regular ly nominated Democratic candidates, as there was no possible chance of their elec tion. Messrs. S. H. Morton and John Wm. Strauss received a complimentary vote from some of the Democrats. The Repub licans had a regular ticket, composed of F. W. Foster, and James A. Lowrey, colored, and an independent ticket, composed of James Heaton, and Duncan Holmes, col ored. In tbe Second Ward there was no regular opposition to the regular Democratic nom inees, Capt. C. D. Myers and Capt H. G. Flanner. The names of Col. Roger Moore and Mr. John Colville were used and voted for by the Republicans, and perhaps by a few Democrats, but without their authority or consent. Col. Moore, ' as soon as he found that his name was being used, wrote a letter addressed to the challengers of the Democratic party in the Second Ward, which was posted in a conspicuous place at the polls, stating that he was no candi date and positively forbidding the use of his name, insisting that his friends should all support the regular ticket, as he himself was doing. In the Third Ward, as fn the Second, there was no organized opposition to the regular Democratic ticket, Messrs. L. H. Bowden and H. VonGlahn. The name of Mr. B. F. Mitchell was used, but without his wish or consent, and as soon as he was informed of the fact he wrote a note to the challengers on the Democratic side, stating that he was not a candidate and declining to allow the use of his name. Mr. L. E. Rice received a complimentary vote from the Republicans. In the Fourth Ward, as before stated, there were two separate tickets voted for, Col. W. L. DeRosset and Mr. Oscar G. Parsley, Jr., comprising the regular Demo cratic ticket, and Messrs. John Dawson and Hanke Vollers the Independent ticket. Here the moot of the interest and excite ment of the day centered, and the friends of the respective tickets labored faithfully and for the most part good humoredly for the success of the men of their choice. In the Fifth Ward Messrs. W. H. Good man and J. D. H. Klander, the regular nominees, were supported by the Demo crats, in opposition to Isaac W. King, and Jos. C. Hill, colored, the Republican can didates, but of course without the slightest expectation of success. We give the official result in the various Wards as follows : FIRST WARD (UPPER DIVISION). F. W.

Imposing Upon a Stranger. Yesterday morning a gentleman, who is represented as being a stranger in the city, went into the building on the corner of Front and Red Cross streets, occupied as railroad offices, on some business, leaving a couple of satchels containing wearing ap parel, toilet articles, &c, on a window sill in the corridor, while he was engaged in transacting his business in an inner office. The result was that when the gentleman re turned to the spot where he had left his satchels, they were found to be missing. The contents were valued at about ten dol lars. No clue to tbe perpetrator of the theft. Thermometer Record. The following will show the state of the thermometer, at the stations mentioned, at 4.35 yesterday evening, Washington mean time, as ascertained from the daily bulletin issued from the Signal Office in this city: Augusta, 64 Charleston, 37 Corsicana, 80 Galveston, 71 Indianola, 71 Jacksonville, 63 Key Weft, 78 Mobile, 68 Montgomery, 65 New Orleans,.... 70 Norfolk 44 PuntaRassa, 62 Savannah, .51 St. Marks, 64 Wilmington, 48 WHOLE NO. 3,004 Extensive Robbery store Broken open. The store of Mr. Daniel McEachern, on Castle, hetween Seventh and Eighth streets, was broken open Wednesday night, some time between midnight and day, and robbed of a number of articles. Entrance was effected by boring a number of holes in the front door with an auger, in such a manner as to allow of the piece thus encir cled being pushed out, when a hand was inserted and the fastenings to the shutter removed. The articles stolen consisted of about forty pounds of meat, a lot of sugar, coffee, rice, brandy peaches, tobacco, cigars, hominy, brooms, buckets, measures, &c. ; altogether amounting in value to be tween $200 and f 300. Mr. McEachern'was in his store until 11 o'clock, when he went to his residence, which is on the same lot, and but a short distance from his place of business. He knew nothing of the robbery until yester day morning, when he found the door open and the goods alluded to missing. There were quite a number of tracks visible in the wet soil, and there is no doubt that there were two or three at least concerned in the robbery, the Thieves having but little fear of detection on such a stormy night, with no policemen stationed in that part of the city. There is at present no clue to the perpe trators of the robbery. An Emperor's Birth-Day. The flags of the German Imperial Consu late and of the various German vessels in port were displayed yesterday in honor of the 80th birth-day of the Emperor William. R1VBR AND MARINE ITEMS. The Schr.
