40 EXTRA SESSION.

There is little prospect of an extra ses-
sion of Congress. Although business is
backward on account Of the time spent in
the several investigations that have taken
up the attention OF Congress, there is a
determination to push through the most
important matters and avoid an extra SEES
sion. The republican Senators have come
to this conclusion. and the House is prob
ably of the same opinion. 1t is thought
that by strict attention to business all may
be done that is absolutely required previ-
Gus to March. After the turmoil and ex.
element of the present session, it would
seem that a season ofrest would be agree
able, and legislation perhaps more whole
some. We trust there will be no extra
session, but that the new Congress may
have until December to get ready fol
work, and the country be spared an I'M
necessary expense.

At a meeting of the Ship Owners Associa-
ton of New York Wednesday evening, me.
mortal was adopted to Secretary Fish asking
for protection against fines levied by the Gus
toms authorities in Cuban ports on pretext
of errors in manfests Of cargoes. A memo
rial was also adopted praying for substitu-
ton of fine or Imprisonment for persons
smuggling instead Of the forfeiture of vessel
which was pronounced "parody of justice, -
as owners have no control over the actions of
the crew or passengers.

SATURDAY MORNING, Feb. Is, 1873.

The effect of the election Of demo-
cratic Mayor in New York by the aid Of
republican votes, is not favorable to re-
petition of the act. They are fast learn
ing that their votes were very acceptable
but their assistance to fill the offices Is
not desired. The new mayor Is not dis
posed to regard the allies OF the demoera-
cy as having any claims to places, al
though he owes his election to them
That is about the usual experience in such
coalitions.

The report of the superintendent of pu

The report of the superintendent of pub
lie schools in Illinois states that of the 9s2,.
G93 persons of lawful school age in the State,
only CG2, 049 were in the schools at all, in
1872, and that less than one half even of that
number were in daily attendance. The num-
Der of private schools in the State in 1872
was niaety-four less that two years ago, with
a decrease in attendance of 62l7. The sum.
ming up Of the report seems to show that
while the common schools of the State are
not accomplishing what they should, either
in the amount, kind or quality of the instruc-
ton impaired, that better and more practical
school work was done by the teachers during
the past year than in any preceding enc. The
superintendent closes his report by urging
the establishment Of normal schools, and the
enactment of legislation in support Of COM
pulsory education.

Let us make the Imposition that vote
represents home, which to my mind is the
nearest the true view OF the matter of any
yet suggested. Then in well constituted
family woman is represented, 1t is fact
to-day, that in any election the sentiments of
woman are expressed at the ballot box. True
conjugal attachment bespeaks for woman the
lions share in an expression that represents
the family. We have known many young
men to vote exactly opposite to what they
had previously been accustomed to, after they

Thurlow Weeds Secret.

~ Correspondence Cincinnati Commercial
Some people are not little surprised al
Ill" frequent appearance nowadays OF
in the Tribune from 1T.
w." the well known initials Of the veteran
Thurlow Weed. For years past Weeds
organs have been the Timts and Comn,er-
ciM .ldtertiscr. but not long ago he had
personal quarrel with the Times and strange
to say has now taken up with the Trib"ne.
When we consider the nature of the Il,mpus
that followed the dissolution of the political
firm of Seward. Weed l. Greeley. and the
nature Of the compliments that durin. many
years were interchanycd between Greeley
and Weed. and the uttcranccs of Weed
about Greeley during the last Presidential
campaign, there may seem ground for sur
prise. but it must Ike remembered that
Weeds bitter and long continued a.,im">ity
against Greeley disappeared mt Greelcy's
death. that he was one Of the mOurners at
Grccley's funeral, and that soon afterward
lie took occasion to cuiOSize the good quail
tiles Of his ancient enemy. It is a good
thing for the Tribune, ''fol,nded by Horace
Greeley; to have Thurlow Weed among
it's contributors. His articles are always Of
interest to a great many people. lie con-
tributes this morning some notes about his
friend, the late Sir Henry Holland. He
promises something still more interesting,
saying that Sir Hcnry's death has ''broken
one seal If confidence" that he can now
"rvcal a conversation between Queen Vic
toria and her physician fitted to establish
grateful and enduring regard for Her
Majesty in the hearts Of all patriotic Amer
leans" and that he hopes ere long to find

persons in the saloon mt the time Of the

thing that occurred was the violent shaking
"f the doors Of these rooms. Those present
thought it was a trick by some person in
one of the rooms. but on taking q candle
and looking into the rooms no one was seen.
though the shaking continued. shifting

fixtures on the bar began t" slide together

tumult would then suddenly shit 80 the
