The Cabinet has not yet concluded instructions to Louisiana Commission. No decision as to S. C. Hampton declines the President's proposition to arbitrate. Latest By Mail.

From Washington. Special to Richmond Dispatch. Washington, March 30. Republicans persist in talking of the conferences of Hampton and Cham berlain with the President as the "negotiations between the rival Governors undei the auspices of the General Government." Chamberlain seems ready enough to negotiate; but to every intimation of the possibility even of a compromise Hampton firmly replies that he has nothing to com promise; that so far as he is mdividu allv concerned he would be WILLING TO SACRIFICE FEELING PERSONAL to the peace of his State, but he "can not and will not compromise the rights of those whom he represents." He pays the people of South Carolina will now be content only with his government or military rule. If his government should be established as it will be if the military be withdrawn from the State-House peace and order will follow, and the negro will be fully protected in all bis regbts.

In fact by the accident of things, be is the only man in the State who can at this time protect the colored man and bring peace to his State. Chamberlain suggests that as President Hayes' election was considered by an Electoral Commission it is equally appropriate to attempt a peaceful and satisfactory solution of the question in Sonth Carolina in some such manner. Yesterday CHAMBERLAIN WAS COMPLETELY OVERSHADOWED by Hampton's presence. All day he sought an audience at the White House, but it was not accorded nntil night, and then only to be told that the President had had a little confab with Hampton, and would have another to-day. Hampton is the lion of the day.

Public curiosity to see him attracted a crowd to Willard's that was always changing but never grew less. Expecting he would emerge from the hotel by the private entrance to visit the President, the crowd gathered about the door and extended almost across the street. There they waited for hours, and the presence of a policeman was necessary to keep them back. CHAMBERLAIN HAS SUBMITTED TO THE PRESIDENT CERTAIN PROPOSITIONS which he says may, if accepted, form the basis of an easy solution of the dispute between him and Hampton. He says his own views and those of Schurz very pearly agree, and if the present difficulty were in almost any other State than South Carolina there would be no trouble about a settlement.

This mysterious statement he declines to explain to-night, as the two propositions have been submitted to the President, and premature publication might appear disrespectful or defeat their object. The Cabinet has deferred Chamberlain's proposition to Secretaries Evarts and Schurz, both of whom are understood to be inclined towards acknowledging Hampton's pretensions. In fact, the Sonth Carolina Democrats think only Thompson and Sherman are opposed to the immediate withdrawal of the troops from the State House at Columbia, they holding that the question who was elected Governor should first be decided. But for Chamberlain's new scheme the troops would have been probably ordered away from the State House as soon as Hampton returned. By request of Evarts be will remain here twenty-four hours longer.

Special to the Baltimore Sun. Washington, March 29. The Louisiana Commission are nearly all here, and hope to leave for New Orleans on Sunday. General Hawlev and Judge Lawrence, of lUi nois, arrived to-day. An examina tion of the record of the majority of the Commission shows that they have heretofore been opposed to the use of troops in the South to sustain State governments.

Gen. Hawley made a speech a year ago in which he opposed all force laws or use of mili tary except to preserve the peace according to law. Gen. Harlan, of iVentuoky, has taken practically the same view, and the Democratic dele gation from Louisiana are in great VOL. XX NO.

The Board of Directors of the Merchants' Exchange this noon, at the request of a number of prominent merchants of that body, adopted the following Whereas, The continued delay in settling the political troubles in Louisiana is proving very detrimental to the interests of that State agricultural, commercial and manufacturing, and as this condition of things reacts injuriously on the industrial and commercial interests of this city and the whole Mississippi Valley, be it therefore Hesolved by the Hoard of Direc tors of the Merchants' Exchange of tit.

We also reproduce in other parts of the paper such articles from our State contemporaries as appear to us of general interest.
