New ORLEANS, La, March 25.-Com-
mentlng on the call of the extra session Of
the legislature, the Times says: 1--WE re-
gard the extra session as simply affording
an opportunity to do now what has been
neglected in the past. Everything de
pends upon concert of action and deter
mlnatlon on the part of those having the
material interests of state at heart, to see
an adjustment carried in good faith by
both parties to an agreement, and that
nothing shall prevent the reformation to
gain which this arrangement is made
The Picayune says: 1.-The subjects of
legislation selected for precedence in the
order of business are certainly of impor-
tance, and if appropriate action shall be
taken upon them, much good may be ac-
complished. The several sessions must
not be made the agency or pretext for
revival of partisan schemes, or for the
perpetuation of party conflicts. It should
be devoted solely to the task of adjusting
political differences and enacting necessary
measures of reform"

Packard, Mr.. Pardee and Colonel Fish. of

that the Office remains vacant until the
next session of congress, as it was said in
the executive session that the president
has no power to make an appointment
until that time. At the last hour, ex-Sen-
ator Pratt, of Indiana, was suggested to
the president by the committee on the ju-
dietary. The president was assured that
Pratt would be confirmed but the president
adhered to Pardee, whose nomination was
laid on the table.
