AN EXTRA sEss1pN OF CONGRESS-,

AN EXTRA BE83I0N OF CONGRESS-.
There has arisen new controversy ut
Washington. Tho Democrats last fall elected
nearly two-thirsls Of the next House Of Repre-
scntativca, and were able to mako immense
gains In the Senate. They are entitled by
the popular voice Of ha1f-a-mil1ion majority
to take charge Of the Legislation Of the coun-
try. In any other country than this, the
Democrats, representing tie popnlar senti-
ment at tie November election, would have
taken possession Of Congress in December,
1874. Under COR laws, however, their official
term does not begin until N1arch, and tho reg
,,lar session Of Congress will not begin NATL
December next. Thia Democratic pnrty OBJ
timed their majority by protesting devotion
to variety of reforms, among which may be
enumerated:
!. 4 retrenchmcnt Of expenditures.
9. 4 reduction Of taxes and preservation Of
the national credit.
8. A Yoform of the currency.
1. 4 publication Of the Government.
8. A zepeal Of all subsidies, anl general
correction Of Ill abuses.
6. Establishment Of peace and harmony
between tho whites and blacks In thu South.

Wo hays received several communications
from e1-soldiesa, complaining ulat injustice
has been done them in an article printed In
Tm TRIBUNE recently, commenting upon
the bill to 's 'sequalize bountics," which WIS
passed by the House Of Representatives On
Saturday last, Our correspondents wholly
mistake tho position Of Tnz TR11usr On this
measure. Wo did not oppose the payment
Of bounties to soldiers who had seen actual
service md had suffered in the cause Of their
country, but We did oppose. and do still op-
pese, squendering the public money BY tens
OF millions upon the miscellaneous herd Of
applicants provided for by TINT bill o. amend
cd, which includes artidcers, mule-driyers,
musicians, slaves, 1ndians, sailors who did
nothing but cruiae from port to port, aud
homo guards, Of whom there were 4 dozen
or mora regiments In Missouri alone, who
never Baw my service Ut al and who have
already baen amply paid. We opposedthe bill
further because tho 1louse made no provision
to pay tho money It calla for. Now, II the
bill were mada to include only those who
fought for tho country, and tho House had
made Bomo provision for the money, TuR
TRIBUNE would have favored it; but 80 long
a. the bill includes tens Of thousands Of per-
sons who have no equitable claim upon the
oyerburdened taxpayers, SO long It will be
impossible to convince them That the blu
should become law. 1T this time, when the
Iroasury il baro, business staguant, antl
umes hard, tho enactment OF 4 bounty bill

soma who are not Justly entitled TO nilitary
