POLITICAL On DIT.

| Extra session gossip seems to be the favor
ite subject just now in political circles. Those
who sit near kelloggs throne are satisfied
that it will come about now. and they are
trimming their sails to the coming breeze.
| Pitt is patiently awaiting news from the
champion compromiser, Wheeler, who is sup

| turns up, and the returns too, the business
of an extra session Will be entered into at
| once, at least Pitt says So What they are
going to do when the members meet, seems
TO be something like a conundrum, but all
sorts OF good things are promised, and new
millennium Lay be expected, Judging from
what the faithful say.
sheliey-NOi The Poet.
There was considerable merrment here ia
newspaper circles over the flying trapeze act
SO artlstlcally performed by the sentimental
Shelley he Of the ambrosial locks. After
years OF innocent cayorting between New
York and this city, it seems that at last he
decided to go through the double somersault
act with fair daughter of Washington City,
and according to the exchanges he success
fully went through the role at Epiphany
Church in the District Of Columbia
Mr. Sewel, father Of the bride, it seems had
but little appreciation of acrobatic skill, and
putting on the harness of war, he has started
out on a crusade after the oleaginous Shelley
The young lady is wealthy and is said to be
very comely, and there is considerable mys-
terry as to how the travelling correspondent
succeeded in winning her affections Shelley
was once the representative here of the New
York Tribune and it is said prided himself Oh
his personal beauty and Don Juan persua
siveness.
On the Grindstone.
Little Senatorial hatchets are plentiful in
the market just now, and they are awaiting
grinding with not exactly that patience which
has always marked the previous character and
disposition of good little axes The Custom
House Ratchet particularly is smiling a
CHASTITY, grim sort OF smile in. its place on
the bench, whilst the severaY compromise
blades scowl back kind of tonsorial s.my
next"
The amount Of pure patriotism wasted in
the business is said to be alarming. and it is
not improbable that some twenty-five self
sacrificing gentlemen willing to serve the
State, even though it be in the United States
Senate, viii kindly allow their names to be
put before the Legislature. Rumor has It |
that perhaps after pinch, Pitt would ac-
cept, if the people coaxed him.
No sugar in Their'n.
The Civil Rights business has not as vet |
amounted to much here. The extravactnt
amount Of rights they have enjoyed here
since the Kellogg regime first was inaugur-
ated has left to them 50 little to acquire that |
they don't know where to seek it. We hardly |
think the colored people here will attempt to
indulge in fifteen cent cocktails for the fun OF
,esting Civil Rights 50 long as the barrel
houses serve out the same beverage for i've
'ents, and the act OF Congress doesn't provide
anywhere for remunerating the difference.
The City Bill.
1t is understood that Kellogg is not satisfied
With the new City Charter bill, and the prob
bilities are that he will not urge it until the
lext meeting of his Crowd. The failure to
Jet through that measure giving him the
'ower to appoint the City Surveyor, spoils all
lis little plans, as without it he is not at all
benefited by the City bill, and he will hold it,
n the hope that it will come in handy in
coping the City Administrators in the way
e would have them 60
The City Surveyor bill remains on the cal
ndar and when the Crowd convenes again
here will be strong effort to put it through,
nd there is but little doubt that these efforts
Ill be successful.
