THE EXTRA SESSION AND THE pRRs1DExr's
MESSAGE. raR /
1t is possible to organize the. House
speedily-Hnd there seems to be nothing in
the way-the PRESIDENT will send in his
Message to Con ,tess on the Fourth-the
hrst day of tue session. 1t is expected on
all hands that this will be done. The Re-
publican members will meet on The third
and make their nominations for Speaker
and Clerk. As they will be largely in the
majority it will take bnt one ballot for
each officer. BY two o'clock the Congress
should he ready for the Message, and pro-
baby will be. Something, however, may
happen TO delay the organization an hour
or two; and If SO the Message will be re-
lained by the President till Friday, as it
is not customary to send in document of
that character after three or four O'Clock.
For the present the President is entirely
shut out fran visitors, nor can his Private
Secretary be seen in business hours. 1t is
understood that he is busy making the Off
cial copies of the Message. It would he
idle to attempt to indicate the more stri-
king points of the Message, but can MS
surs the readers of the EUeniag Post that
on one subject il will make no uncertain
sound. On the subject of peace aud COM
promise it will speak boldly, opposing any
tax OF compromise, any discussions Of the
blessings OF peace till the backbone of the
rebellion is broken.
THE PROPOSED IHcoNE TAX.
There is more talk within day or two
among the leading members of Congress
here of direct taxation, in the shape of a
very moderate income tax. Various opiu-
ions are expressed, some for aud Others
against tn e measure, though almost every
thoughtful man expresses the opinion that
there must be a small tax imposed to keep
up the credit of the government. still
Incline to the opinion that the Secretary
OF the Treasury will recommend 4 duty
on tea, coffee and sugar, genersl revf-
sion OF the tariff, and a popular loan for n
portion of the sum needed and for only n
portion. There will be no attempt mad e
on the part of the Secretary to make auv
war upon New York capitalists, unless
tney war upon the vital interests of the
9auHn; add at present the relation of the
secretary with the leading fuanciers Of
character.
