EXTRA SESSION OF CoNGREss.-Th
St. Louis correspondent of the s. f.
National, says:
1t is now certain that an extra session
of Congress will be called. This is alb
solutely necessary. on account of the
confused condition in which Congress
left the exchequer of the nation, and
the responsibility of which belongs to
the Republicans with Grow at their
head, in the House, aided by no less a
man than Hon. Robert Toombs, in the
Senate. The session will not convene
till after the August elections, if the
interest of the Post Office Department
will admit of its postponement till then.
The whole matter will be definitely
determined in shor: time.

MORE TROUBLE WITH THE MoRMoNs.
In the S. +. Bulletin, of the 18th, we
find long and exciting letter from Utah
relative to Mormon affairs. Another
difficulty has sprung up with the Saints
originating in determined attempt on
the part of Judge Cradlebaugh to up
hold the laws and administer justice,
even against the leaders in the church.
The Judge obtained the most relia-
BILE information of the completely of the
Mormons in the Mountain Meadows mas
sacre, and charged the Grand Jury to
do their duty. naming the men engaged
in the murder. The Judge made an
extraordinary charge to the jury, and
most fearless one under the circum-
stances. The Mormon leaders remon-
strated against his course, and INDUCED
in their usual threats and buster, but
Judge Cradlcbaugh made a requisition
on Gen. Johnson for detachment of U.
S. troops, which was granted.
The Mormons saw an appearance of
earnestness in the proceedings, and a
great many of the guilty wretches al e
fleeing the country. At latest accounts
the Mormons were working themselves
up to high pitch of excitement and
threaten to attack the soldiers. The
time has come when the Mormons must
succumb to the reign of law and order.

The Great Debate,

AFTER careIui redulIlS vi tuc fcccHI
great debate in the United States Ser
ate, we have been strengthened in
conclusion years ago arrived at, that the
doctrine of popular sovereignty was
never but imperfectly understood by its
leading advocates, and scarcely at all
by the people The whole country has
been humbugged with an undigested and
indigestible abstraction. Hardly two
Senators, even those who took part in
inaugurating the new doctrine, can agree
what the doctrine really is. Mr.. Dong
las admits that the constitution carries
slavery with it into Territories. Mr.
Pugh denies it. Mr.. Broderick agrees
with both. Mr.. Brown, Of Mississippi,
repudiates the whole doctrine of popular
sovereignty, in toto. jeff. Davis argues
that if the constitution carries slavery
nto Territories the right to hold slaves
there is not barren one but to be Sc
cured by Congressional Interference
This view is concurred in by Mason and
Green.
Mr.. Clingman, of North Carolina, says
the views entertained by Douglas of
the doctrine is the Interpretation given
by the Democracy in 1856, during the
presid dential election of that year. Mr..
Gwin says it is not. Mr.. Brown. de-
clares, if the present position of Dong
las is correct, the South has been cheat
ed. and be and Mason swear as usual
that the Union will go to smash if their
notions are not carried out. The Re-
publican Senators enter the arena with
eonsiderabl power; but the most in
teresting spectacle is that of the Democ-
racy warning about matter that Bu-
ehanan thought SO plain it was wonder
every body hadn't seen it before.
With all due reference to the opin-
ions of Mr.. Douglas, we must say that
admit his premises and the conclusions
Of JEFF Davis are irresistable' If the
constitution takes slaves into Kansas,
and the Supreme Court so declare, there
must be scme power somewhere to sup
port and sustain the rights thus guar
anteed. Mr.. Douglas and his support
ers say that the Territorial Legislature
has power to override the Supreme law
of the land-the Federal Constitution /;
that it can abolish slavery directly or
indirectly that the redress of the slave
holder is in the Supreme Court; but if
that Court decide the act of the Ter
ritorial Legislature unconstitutional,
there is no help for the owner of the
slave. They will not sanction the in
reference Of one arm of the govern
ment TO save another from contempt.
Now, if the Dred Scott decision de-
clsres the right to hold slave property in
Kansas; and whether it does so or notis a
matter ofsmall account, as from the opin
ions of Judge Taney therein expressed,
it is quite certain that such will be the
opinion of the Court should a case be
brought of nature to bring the decision
out-the conclusion is logical and legal
that the right must be maintained.
e We deny the premises.

II is conceded that the Republican csn-

BY at least 10000 majority. That f. w.

antagonism on one ticket are also elected
is nearly certain. The New York Tribune
Of the 18th makes Leavcnworth's majority
about 5000, and an Albany despatch o.

not be less than 1000. Though the ma

State BOARD or FoualIzarIon.

After the organization of the Board on
the 9th, it was found that several of the
counties had not made their returns TO the
State Auditor, and of necessity they were
obliged to adjourn on the 9th, to meet
again in Columbus on the first Tuesday O.
December. The law passed by the las
Legislature fixes the meeting of the Board
on the first Monday of November, but does
not require County Auditors to return the
abstracts Of their respective counties before
the first Monday of December. Such blum
dering legislation is without excuse.

The speakership.

In all parts Of the North, opinion seems
to point to Hon. John Sherman as the most
likely member upon which the Republicans
of the House can unite in the choice of a
Speaker with sufficient number of the
other branches of the Opposition to effect
an organization. Should this distinction be
accorded our representative, his constituent
cy will not only feel proud of the honor
they will share with him, but will rest sat
is6ed in the confidence that they have Civ
en- to the House man who will preside
over its deliberations with rare ability and
distinction.

SUSPECTED SYMpArHIzERs WITH BRowN

SUSPECTED O1MPAIHlLhRS WITH DROWN
Wesley G. Simmons, arrested at Rich
mond, Va, charged with uttering seditious
sentiments, is native of Anne Arundel
county, Nd, but has lived ten years in Bel
mont CO., Ohio. If convicted he can be
imprisoned one year, and fined five hund
red dollars.
1t is stated that Gov. Wise has received
dispatch from Wytheville, Va, informing
him that Coppie brother of the one now
in Jail at Charlestown, had been arrested
and lodged in Jail at Wythevile. AS that
is not the direction the Governor supposed
the fugitive would take, he doubts this be
ing the man.
Among old Browns papers was found an
abstract of a letter in Browns handwriting
in which the name of Thomas Henry, foi
many years colored clergyman of Hagers
town, Nd, and long suspected of an i'm.
proper intercourse and intimacy with the
abolitionists of the North, is significantly
mentioned. The HNgerstown Herald state;
that this Henry has, within tho last siA
months, sold off his property and left the
State. Browns alusion to him shows pret
ty conclnsively that be has been one of bis
confidential friends.

THE ENGINE Room AT HARPER's FERRY.
The room, in which Brown and his party
took their position, remains untouched since
the day of the struggle. The broken sides
arc still unrepaired, and che doors are per
forated with bullet-holes. The white
washed walls are stained in more than one
place with blood, and at the back there is
a horrible long red splash extending nearly
four feet and more than four inches wide,
thick and encrusted, and hero and there
dotted with something beside gore---small
fragments of human flesh--which is pointed
out with ferocious exul,ation as the blood
of Brown, which poured from his face as
Lieut.. Green struck him with his Sabre,
while he lay PROSTATE before him. They
keep this stain upon the walls of their Ar
