EXTRA SESSION OF CoNGREss.-The Wash.
ington correspondent of the N. Y. Herald
says that an extra session, in consequence of
the delicate state of our foreign relations, is
freely spoken of in Washington as inevita BILE,
and that many of the Western members of
Congress are holding over to await the issue.
The Herald thinks it possible that the report
may arise from the necessity of having an
extra session of the Senate to re confirm the
schedule of our consuls abroad, whose Off
cial existence under the new law will expire
