Extra session.

II is understood that Gov. Lowe, OF Iowa,
10 about to call an extra session Of the leg
islature to determine the policy OF issuing
State BONDS to be sold, and the proceeds APP
piled to the purchase Of iron for railroads
now in progress through the State Gin
cinnati Gazette.
The above is another illustration of the
saying "f you want to hear the news you
must 20 away from home"
We don't understand" that Governor
Lo ~e has any present intention whatever Of
calling an extra session Of the Legislature.
Indeed we arc very confident he will issue no
such call, except there should be an unmis-
taxable and overwhelming call upon him
from tho people Of the State in behalf Of
such o measure.

We have.no received sufficient news from
Illinois to enable us to form any definite con.
clssion az to the result. Chicago gave Re-
publican majority OF about 1000. Quincy
also gave small Republican majority.
Morris, the Democratic candidate for Con-

In WISCONSIN the Republicans have elected
Potter to Congress in the Milwaukee District,

MICHIGAN. The report from Michigan is

the entire delegation to Congress again, and
carried their State ticket.

WASHINGTON, Oct. %.
The President spends much time daily at
Department Of State, preparing himself with
data concerning Mexico and Central Ameri-
ca, which are to furnish the principal topics
as respects foreign policy in the forthcoming
message. Last year no allusion whatever
was made to Mexico, but now pretended
claims, heretofore FLED away as unworthy of
our interference, will be revived in conneo-
ton with the recent alleged outrages on
American citizens, proceeding from the rev.
olutionary condition OF the Government. All
facts and fictious alike will be urged as rea-
sons for decisive action.
Col. Preston has not declined the mission
to Spain, and there are many reasons why
he should not decline. He aimed at anoth-
or post, but is satished--unless he can do
better.
Although no change in tho Cabinet IL now
intended, it is, nevertheless, well known that
the President is dissatisfied with Attorney
General Blacks political counsel, and is
willing to burthen him with all the disagree
able responsibilities which are thickening at
every election.
Mr. Clay has not been recalled from Peru,
but il coming home of his own free will.
Col, Denver claims place in compensa-
WON LOT Ills ipSs VI tut AuulhiI
and will get one.
The report Of Cabinet rupture is denied,
but trouble exists, and will come TO q head
after the message has been delivered. The
cause of dssenson is said to be the position
taken in the message on the tariff. The most
pressing difficulty, however, is that the
Douglas Democrats in the House threaten 20
bolt unless Secretary Cobb and others are
dismissed. The President will listen to no
terms, and when the explosion does come,
the Cabinet will probably be re-organized
in such wise as to be a unit against MIR. Doug
has.
The personal breach between the President
and Mr.. Corcoran is reported to be caused
by the Presidents refusal to require the dis
| missal of Muruaga from the Spanish mission
after the little difficulties between the bank
er and the Secretary, which so agreeably d.
versifed life at the federal capital short time
| ago.

G y Elections will DO held next Monday
for members Of Congress in Delaware and
Maryland. Little Delaware, we presume, is
all cafe IN old Bucks pocket, but tho pros
poets are aattering for an almost unanimous
opposition delegation from Maryland. The
Richmond ''hig sa5s:
Maryland will have no Democrat in her
next Congressional delegation. She will
lead the mighty column which is preparing to
march upon this imhecile aud proagate Ad-
ministration. She
has beeus openly charged With aboli.ionism
by those who gnnshed their teeth because
she could not be induced 70 cast her vote for
James Buchanan, who has done more to ia
vor and encourage the spirit Of abolition
than al the Presidents from Washington
down. She hos rejected these insults with
calm dignity. She has rctorted by holding
on the track she entered upon four years ago.
Neither threats nor cajoiery have been able
10 turn her an inch.

publican Mniorit In the House,
a Republican Scnator succeed
Cen. shieIds.
The Minnesotian Of October 30th says the
whole OF the State has not yet been heard
from officially. There is a member Of the
House in doubt in the Blue Earth District,
and another in the Brown and Nicolet Dis
trict. Aside from these, the Republicans
have elected 40 members Of the House, and
the Democrats Of all shades, regular and ir-
regular, just 29-with two members doubt
full. In the Senate, the Republicans have La
members, and the Democrats IT; besides
Eli Robinson, Independent Democrat, and
Joe Rolette, who is on bis own hook. Count
ing these two with the regular Democracy,
and the latter have one majority in the SEN
ate.
On the joint ballot of the House, the Re-
publican majority will certainly be seven
teen, and may be nineteen The Democrats
in the last Legislature had ten majority on
joint ballot. Minnesota is Republican to the
core, in spite of election frauds, now, hence
forward and forever.

A BeauslfuH Paraphrase.

from tae Phitadeiphia Press.
As we have got into sacred poetry, we
may as we'll remark, as an nexpIicable Gu
riosity, the intense badness of rhyme in
most Of the psalms and hymns used in pub
lie and private worship. Watts, Wesley,
VIM. Cowper, Jas. Montgomery, Kirk White
and Thomas Moore arc almost the only poets
who, writing upon sacred subjects, have ad-
hered to rythm, a. well rs appropriateness Of
expression. We have lately fallen upon
something very different from the usual DO.
eteal paraphrases OF Sacred Writ. 1t is a
versifcation OF the Lords Prayer--an ORR
son, the breyity and concentration Of which
ought to be . lesson to those who indulge in
many words when they pour out prayer and
praise. 1t has recently been published in
London, is composed as a duet, and harmo.
nized Tor four voices, with an accompani-
ment for the organ or piano forte. 1t runs
thus:
Our Heavenly Father, bear prayer
Thy name BE- hailowed everywhere;
Thy kingdom come; by pertecg Will
IL earth, rs Heaven, let ali fulfil
Give this day a bread that We may live;
Forgive onr sins rs we forgive;
Help US temptation TO Withstand,
From evil shield Ut by Thy hanl;
N9s and forever unto Thee,
The kingdom, power, and glory be.
Amen.
Here, nothing is redundant, nothing want
ing The music, simple and melodious, is
said to be worthy Of the words. The most
curious circumstance connected with this
paraprase is, that all persons concerned keep
their names concealed. The authors are "J.
NJ" and "W. H.n The artist who has beau
tifully aaornel tho music is ar. To The
musical composer is sc. 4. H.'' The para
phrase, which is as near perfection rs hu-
man talent can make it, has been duly cen
tered at Stationers' Hail." but is not pub
lished. IL is to be hoped that it will be pub
lished, SO that it may be adopted in public
and private worship.
