New Yoiik, March 20. The Tribune's

of the administration, and this greatly

Nhw Y'ohk, March 21. The Times'
Washington special snys ut the Cabinet
meeting the Southern question occupied
most of four hours' discussion, each mem
ber giving his views upon the complica
tions in Louisiumi and South Carolina, and
upon the general policy marked out by the
President with reference to Southern
S ates. The President did not nctively
participate in the discussion. but In u meas
ure directed it by propounding numerous
questions, showing that hu has boon giv
ing the matter careltri cjns'uleratloi). Up
on the general policy of the President to
build up and strengthen local government
in the South, and to use every legitimate
effort to bring about a thorough and last
ing pacillcation between the sections, mem
bers of the Cabinet agree, but in reference
to the Immediate withdrawal of tho troops
from Louisiana and South Carolina, it is
understood I here is some diversity of sci -tiinent.

President stated lie was anxiom to have
this question disposed of at the earliest
time practicable, but In view of Its gravity
and Importance he desired to proceed
with the utmost deliberation and caution,
and h hoped such conclusions would lie
reached as would prove beneficial to the
people of Louisiana, awl South Carolina,
and satisfactory to the country. He ex
pressed a desire to avoid any action that,
would appear like interference with the
domestic, affairs of a Stato. hut added that
he wa determined to do all that was re
quired of hitn by rim constitution and law
to protect the person? and property of nil
clashes of citizens. There was no proposi
tion presented with relereuee to the with
drawal ot the troops and without arriving
nt any conclusion the meeting adjourned
until 10 to -morrow, when It. is expected
that tin; question will be definitely determined.

until this afternoon. The Southern ques

Douglass, .loo. F. Cook, Dr. Charle3 B
Purvis, Charles II. Peters and others, of
Washington, called upon the President
this afternoon to tender their thanks for
the appointment ol Douglass, marshal of
this district. Purvis, chairman, in a brief
add i ess explained the object of their visit,
and said the appointment was gratifying
to the colored people, because by it he net
onlv recognized thrir claims but struck a
blow at the prejudice of care, and they
wished him succe-s in his policy of recon
ciliation. The Pes dent said In appoint
ing Douglas', Lis b ect was to show the
country that it whs his purpose to fully
carry out the declaration in his inaugural.
The amendments to the constitution must
tie Mrletly adhered to and all citizens pro-
tccted in their rights. He referred to the
appointment of colored persons, and said
no discrimination must be made on
account ot color. Should any' pnhtt? offi
cer having positions to bestow, tnke ench
discrimination he would consider it suffi
cient cause for his removal. Iu conclusion
he referred to his policy ot conciliation,

There are onlv a few cunpiaints regarding

of Danzig nud Indian descriptions. There
have been no arrivals rrom A'lantio ports.
Conmderable Irmness prevailed in trade,
albeit transactions were not large, and some
quantity of low class Indian wheat was
taken off our market for the continent. Al
though business was unanimated a steady
consumptive demand has been shown, and
the depletion of granary stocks in Londou is
going on with few arrivals at ports of call.
The rioatiuii cargo tradt has ruled steady

The popular belief that the moon's rays
will cause madness In any person who
sleeps expesed to them has long been felt
to be absurd; and yet it has appeared ro
have its source in undoubted fa on. Some
dcle'erioiw Influence is experienced by
those who rashly court slumber in lull
moonshine, and probably there is no su
perstition in which the well-to-do pay
more attention. Windows are often care
fully covered to keep the moonbeams from
entering sleeping rooms. A gentleman
living in India turn Mies Nature with an
explanation ot this phenomenon, which i
at lease plausible, lie says: "It has of
ten been observed tint, when tliu moon is
full, or near its full time, there are rarely
any clouds about; and if there lie clouds
before the full moon rises, they are onn
dissipated; anil therefore a perfectly clear
sky, with a bright full moon, is frequently
ob-erved. A clear sky admits ot rapid
radiation ot heat from the surf-ice of the
earth, and uny person exposed to such
radiation is sure to be chilled by rapid
loss of heat. There Is reason to be
lieve thai, micier tho circumstances,
paralysis of one side ot the face
is sometimes likely to occur from chill, as
one side ot the face is more likely to be
expos' d to rapll radiation, and conse
quent loss ot heat. This chill is more
likely to occur whim the sky is perfectly
clear. I have often S'ept in the open
in India on a clear summer night, when
theie was no moon; and although the first
part ot the night may have been hot, yet
toward 2 or 3 o clock in the morning l la-
chill has been so great that I have often
been awakened bv an ache, in my lore-
head, which I as often have counteracted
by wrappyi- g a handkerchief round niv
head, and drawing the blanket over my
face. As the. dull is hkclv to be greatest
on a verv clear night, and the clearest
nights are likel lobe those on wide
there i a bri ;ht moonshine, it is verv po-
sible that neuralgia, paralysis, or other
similar Injury caused by sleeping iu the

when lhe proximate cause may really
have been the chill, and the moon only ii
remote cause acting bv dissipating the
clouds and haze (if it do sol. and leaving n

It is easv enough to understand how the
sight of a picture should n fleet us nearly
lhe same way as the sight of the original.
There are. of cumse. different kinds of
scenery, according to the different, conn
tries. Take, for instance, the case ol
a common Knglith landscape green
me.adows with grazing cuttle, well-fenced
and well-cultivated fields, scattered cot
tage, antique churches all seen under
bright skies and in good weather; there is
much benify, hut it noes not consist in
mere mixture of colors ai d for ns, but in
the thought ot the happy condition of the
humble inhabitants, who have plenty and
are content.
Instead of this quiet English landscape,
let, us take a scene something like we
have in many parts of Oregon. Here we
have lofty mountains and lonely recesses
surrounding ample valleys; numerous lit
tle streams and rapid rivers rushing forth
from the mountains; mountain echoes re
peating the cry of the eagle and the roar
of the cataract. Ibis, too, is beautitul
and to those who can appreciate it. far
more so than the quiet scene with which
we have contrasted it. Yet it is to the
recollection of man and of human feelings
that its beauty is owing. This kind ol
scenery is t lie retreat of people from
'towns and toils remote." and also poets
and philosophers communing with nature,
