Extra Session of the Legislature.

In accordance with general expectation,
Gov. Oglesby has called an extra session of the
Illinois Legislature to convene at Springfield
on the 18th ipst being one week from next
Tuesday. The Governor has wisely restricted
its action to few clearly defined subjects that
can be disposed of in single week. The
people will breathe freer when they find that
no f1oodgates are opened for general legisa-
ton, approaching with all its force, as pecu-
liarly applicable to the present Legislature of
Illinois, the remark once made by Judge
Pope, that :" When one of these western legis-
latures once fairly get to work, there is no
telling where the work of devastation and
ruin will stopw
The following are the subjects named in the
Governors proclamation upon which only the
Legislature at this session can act:
l. To provide by law for the taxation of shares
in the national and state banks and banking as
sociations in this State.
2. To provide for continuing the military state
agency at Washington city.
.. TO create IN inferior court of criminal
jurisdiction in the city of Springfield.
4. To legalize the action of the town Of Auro-
ra, in Kane county, in relation to levying a tax
and issuing bonds to secure the location of
machine shops at Aurora.
D. To provide for levying a special tax in
Henderson county, for repairing roads and
bridges.
q. To amend an act entitled San act to reduce
the several acts relating to the town o. Hyde
Park, in the county of Cook, into one act defin-
ing the limits of said town, and the powers and
duties of the officers thereof" approved March
9Th, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight
hundred and sixty-seven.
Z. To correct, by amendment the acts incor-
porating the Wisconsin State Line and MISSISSIPPI

BooTHs BoDY.-Until quite recently, we
believe, it has remained profound secret
what disposition was made of the body of the
assassin Booth. In Chief Detective Bakers
new book, History Of the Secret Service"
the manner of the burial of the body, grave.
&C., are infinitely described. Gen. Baker de-
MES that the body was in any way mutilated,
beyond that Surgeon General Barnes cut from
the neck about inches of the spinal column,
through which the ball had passed. When
the body had arrived on the gunboat ut the
navy yard at Washington, Gen. b. says:
With the assistance of Lieut.. l.. B. Baker. I
took the body from the gun.boat direct to the old
penitentiary, adjoining the old arsenal grounds
The building had not been used a. prison for
some years previously. The ordnance depart
ment had filled the ground floor cells with fixed
ammunition-on. Of the largest of these cells
was selected as the burial-place of Booth
the ammunition was removed, a large fiat
stone lifted from its place, and a rude grave
dug. the body was dropped in, the grave filled
up, the stone replaced, and there rests to this
hour all that remains Of John Wilkes Booth.

In reply to our statement that the decision of
the L. S. Supreme Court in reference to the tax
alton of National Bank shares was not known by
the State officers until the day before the adjourn
ment of the Legislature, the Ottawa Free iluder
says: 1--WE can prove in dozen ways that the
statement of THE JOURNAL is shamelessy and
audaciously false upon its face The Free Tru.

The editor who can make such a reply to
the article of the FREE TRADER to which the
above alludes, is disgrace to the profession.

one of these decisions made over a wear. and
the other some six weeks before the adjourn
ment of the legislature; and we also pointed
to the associated press dispatches, published
IN every daily paper in the country, an equal
length of time before the adjournment of the
Legislature, announcing these decisions to the
country. We also showed that the printed re.
ports OF at least one of these decisions were in
the Library in the State House at Springfield
during the whole session of the legislature
We also cited the fact land dared the ,Zourno1
to deny iD that over two weeks before the ad.
journment of the legislature prominent men,

their attention to these decisions and urging
them to act upon them. And finally we showed

Mexico,

About the most discouraging task an editor
can undertake is to give an ineligible synop-
sis of the current news from Mexico. The
daily papers generally give several columns of
dispatches during each week, but we defy the
acutest analyzer ordinarily to extract from
them consistent statements enough to make
one decent paragraph The Mexican dcspath-
es of Tuesday, however, do with toerable con.
sistency state one important fact, and that is
that Macmillan, who we are authorised to
infer has for some time past been cooped up
with an army of from five to twenty-five thou
sand men at Quaretaro, has been obliged to
surrender to the army of the "iberals," or
Juarsts, and is now prisoner of war, with
all his leading adherents, with fair prospect
before him Of being shot. For an heir appar-
ent to the proud throne of the Hapsburgs, this
is certainly predicamcnt no less humiliating
than unpleasant. Will the Emperor of France,
who got poor Max in this uncomfortable DO
sition, desert him in his present extremitys

Southern Missionaries.

We believe the outbreak at Mobile, when
Congressman Kelly got such scare, has ex-
cited less surprise than the fact that there have
not been great many more and bigger riots
of the same sort. In the case of Kelly, the
immediate prOvocatiOn to riot was certainly
very great An American assembly, using
their right to express their displeasure with a
speaker by groans, is certainly disinclined either
in Chicago or in Mobile to quietly stand the
remark that the orator has regiment of sold
iers or even the whole army of the United
States behind him. Russian peasants may
listen patiently to such an insult, but not
Americans, either North or South. An Ameri-
can audience may tolerate an offence, but
threats with the bayonet, never. But aside
from the immediate provocation in the case of
Kelly at Mobile, there is a still greater provo
cation at the bottom of this whole radical
political missionary business at the South.
These missionaries have gone there to head off
Gov. Orr, Wade Hampton, and men of that
class, who, seeing that negro suffrage was in
cyitable, undertook to make the negroes com.
prehend, in advance, their true position and
interest, and that this lay in their political
union and assimilation WITH and not in their
arraying themselves in hostility to the whites.
The radicals took alarm at the apparent sue
cess of the southern leaders in this sort Of
teaching. 1t threatened to demolish their
whole scheme of making radical states of the
south by means of the negro vote. So these
missionaries have gone south to head off Orr,
Hampton, sc, and to consolidate the'negro vote
in one body against the southern whites-in
short, to split up the entire population into
two hostile castles. Instead of laboring to
establish friendly relations between black and
white, their programme requires, and the facts
show that they are now engaged in fostering
among the negroes prejudices and hatred, and
rousing passions of the most baleful and de-
structive character. The most agrarian doc.
trines are taught. The negroes are told that
the large estates of their late masters are all to
be confiscated, and that now being voters and
having the government in their own hands,
they can take and divide these estates among
themselves, driving off the present white own
ers and occupants.
And missionaries like these the southern
whites are now quietly tolerating in their
midst, and one of the most blatant, unprinci-
pied and reckless of them is this man Kelly
himself Would man who went among the
operatives at Lowell and taught them such
doctrines-who advised them to seize upon
the immense property of their employers and
divide it among themselves, expellipg and
killing thepresent owners, be quietly allowed to
go in and out in the peaceful state of Massa-
chusetts Move are not surprised that
Kelly was mobbed at Mobile; our amazement
is, that any of these black republicans are
allowed a day to move among and poison the
minds of the negroes of the south with their
infamous teachings.
