n and authorities of New Orleans, to urge for re
lief and they have been joined here by on

a thority.
" Thirteen States, sending seventy eight Rep
lg resentatives nearly all Democrats, have yet t
ls make Congressional elections. Several of thes
do not elect until after August, and some hav
)y no provision to obtain an early election.
ed There is now no doubt that there will be
session of Congress called by the Presider
Y, earlier than the first Monday Of December mex
or but whether in advance of or directly after Il
No. autumn elections for Representatives, is not y
determined.
'ly Not only the Post-office Department, b
les other branches of the public service absolute
- require legislation before the usual time OF t
cy meeting of Congress.
