It is not yet determined upon whether psoclsmston
shal be written for Myron 81. Clark to sign calling
extra session Of the Legislature The dctators here,
ard lobby outside have not yet concluded their consul
taons upon the subject They have not yet discovered
q sufficient number Of "weghty reasons" to justify
them in the eyes Of the woosy wings to ISSUE the
mandate The lobby the wing party, and the Governor
have separate views but the ateris not suited
any more than the Attorney General upon questions Of
political expedisncy it only requires the leaders OF the
lobby who compose the entire party to agree whether
or session shall be held If the courts should
decide the Prohbitory law TO bs unconstitutional then
Clark wants the fanatics to and amend the
law. II the thousands OF census marshas shau give
favorable reports to the strength of the Seward wings
then the lobby will have the session to reorgan!ze
the Senate districts. The little villain too, will urge
an extra session in order to make another attempt to
lobby through the New York Police BILL the original OF

The bill forced through the Legislature during the last
moments Of the session, making board OF railroad %
roads of this State receives favor either from the
pie or the railroad companies themselves From the
manner in which the bill was pushed through it plain
y evident that the law intenoed for the sole
pose of making places for some half dozen political pets

cised it'll Eotorously ignorant persons, men whose
lifetime has been pent the roads and whose daily
experit qualities them for the position The com
panes, for their safety and security, employ the
very best talent avaiable-men Of strict watchulness
and care who devote their whole time and thoughts
to their business. The superntendents of roads are
necessarily who have been thoroughly educated in
the toilsoIne dgent and extremely laborous railroad
schools They not only required to be practical
greers verseo in mechanical science capable of judging
the capacity and power of locomotives, the time they
can safely make with the loads attached to them but
they necessarily of the most yeepless vigilance,
never disconnected. with mind balanced to penny
weight. What other men be found so well edu-
Gated, fully competent for railroad management
Certainly net the State Engineer, however well
versed paper, in mathematics, hydraulics,
grades, elevations and depressions Certainly, most
certainly, not person entirely ignorant of the quantity
of steam required to drive train Of cars twenty miles

sioners under law, who are entirely Unparalleled in

missoners named in the BILL will not serve any longer
than the rst of October when the several rsro I'd
