An Extra Session TO be Hold.
There is a growing impression that
an extra session of Congress will be
decided On from the fact the limited
number OF working days remaining OF
the pr esent session, may render an extra
session necessary to complete the ap-
preparation bills, several important ones
not yet having been touched. The
Democrats are exceedingly anxious that
the Investigations which are now in
progress should be continued, and a
large majority OF them will vote tor an
extra session. In this movement they
will be backed by eeveral prominent
Republicans, among whom may be
mentioned Speaker Blaine and Messrs.
Butler, Garfield and Banks.

The Louisiana Investi cation Cone
nllttcc
held long secret session to-day for the
purpose of discussing the evidence al
ready taken and finally, according to
the best in formation obtainable on the
subject they have concluded to report
as much of the evidence as has al
ready been taken on Monday without
any recommendation, leaving it to the
ioint committee of the two houses TO
decide on Wednesday whether or not
the electoral vote OF the State shonld be
counted. The committee are expecting
further evidence from New Orleans
which will perhaps arrive here early
next week and after its receipt they
propose 10 close the investigation and
r. AXE their fiusl report. A rumor pre-
walls here tonight that the committee
to- day decided TO recommend on Mon
dav next that neither Of the parties
claiming to be the legally elected Gov
ernor OF Louisiana should be recog.
nized, and that a new election should
be ordered, but it cannot be authentic.
Both parties to the investigation, how
ever. seem to be at sea on the subject
and express vast deal OF concern re-
garding the action OF the committee.
1t is generally believed that the evil
deuce taken before the committee
vitiates Mr.. Syphers election as Repre-
sentative from Louisiana
