ION flag floats over the Custom House at
Calais, Me. The inspector who hoisted it
thinks Republicanism is worth more to him
than So day, so he takes the risk. Good

FiLlBusrER, (fe-le- boos- ter, name given to
frcebooters or buccaneers who plundered
America in the 18th century.-[Seoane's
Spanish Dictionary.
The followers of Mr.. Buchanan, q pro-
fessed Filibuster, are BUCCANEERS, literally.
The terms Filibuster and Buchanecr, us APP
Piled to his partizans, may therefore be used
INTERCHANGEABLE, with equal propriety. The.
Filibusters were the Buccaneers Of the 18th
century; the BUCCANEERS are the Filibusters
of the 10Th century.
THE KANSAS AFFAlR.-A true version Of the
affair at Franklin is doubtless presented in
an article from tho st. Louis Democrat,
which we publish o.day
Mr.. SuNsRR.--This gentleman is at last
convalescent. The mountain air Of the ALLIE
ghanies has had beneficial effect.

The special Geographic dispatches which
were sent to the New York Tribune from
Washington on the 18th inst. contain fuller
details than those published in our paper.
We make the following extracts.
| The Speaker announced that there had
| been discovered an error in the vote of the
House on Saturday night upon receding from
the proviso to the Army bill-that upon cor
rection, the vote was found to be IS yeas to
9S nays, throwing the casting vote upon the
Chair, and he should vote in the negative,
and the House would thereby still refuse TO
recede-
Mr.. Campbell Of Ohio, from the Commit
tee Of Conference on the Army bill, reported
that after full and free conference they
could not agree, and asked to be discharged.
Mr.. Campbell then stated that the Senate de-
sired another conference. and he therefore
moved that the House insist upon its dsa.
gr-eement with the Senate and agree to an
OF her conference, and upon this the Yeas and
N,ays were called, and the motion was lost BY
u vote Of aS to LOB.
The Speaker declared the bill passed,
when Mr.. kunkel of Pa. appealed from the
decision of the Chair, and thus its passage
was prevented.
The appeal took the South 80 BY surprise
that they did not appear to know how to ap-
propriate the triumph of the moment before.
About thirty minutes before il was time to
adjourn under the joint resolution, u reso-
luton was offered by Mr.. Miilson of Virgin
TO extend the session two hours, and the
\ as and Nays were called on suspending
the rules by vote Of l3l to 6s. A similar
:esolution came from the Senate which cour-
tesy demanded should have the preference,
and upon the question OF concurring with
the Senate in the adoption OF tho resolution,
the Yeas aud Nays were ordered, and just as
the Clerk was about TO call the first name the
dial signifed to the Speaker n duty which
without hesitation he performed. II was /.
journing the House, and thus the Army bill
was lost.
The city was soon filed with rumors Of ar
Extra Session. Not until the Al o'clocl
train was leaving WAS it fully known that tn,
President would call session, when lively
scene was Witnessed. The Depot was fllcl
with members, each with bag and baggage
A good deal Of temper was manifested to
ward the President by both sides, ant
pairing commenced, aud very few returned
IL any.
The President and Cabinet we're in session
Mt the Capitol when the adjournment tool
place, and it was immediat ~ understood
that an extra session would be called, al
more than twelve millions are involved il
the appropriations lost. Accordingly,
proclamation was issued this afternoon, con
yening Congress on Thursday. Numbers Of
members lief, in the O'Clock train, but til,
telegraph will recall them generally in sea
son. They are entitled to mileage, and il
absent viii be deducted ~ 80 daily under thu
new law.
Little doubt is entertained that the bill
will pass in n qualified form, as the Hous
vote indicated in the morning. Such re
suit would probably have been attained il thu
additional hours asked by the Senate ha,
been granted. Il is understood that tn
| Senate will meet and adjourn daily At moor
without attempting other business until tn
House determines upon it's course. An at
tempt may DO made in the House, IL the Re
nublican aide should be thin. to press Mr.
'roombs' kansas bill through, which ha
,, been waiting convenient opportunity.
Gen. Cullom, Clcrk Of the House, was to
day presented with IN elegant silver servic
BY the Clerks in the Map Office. This de
, serving tribute Of respect learn il soon L
be ec!ipscd by another from the Clerks OF tn
House, w'o, by the way, have performed tn
arduons duties OF the closing session withou
employing extra help. Gen. Callom ma,
well be proud Of his staff.
II is said that Granger was handling Nc
Mullen when they were separated. Boil
parties were marked on the face.
