Our city during tue week has been
visited by numerous seekers for cup
plies during the coming year. Gene
rally speaking they have been unsuc-
osssftl. We are Of the opinion that
tho majority of those who apply
thus early for assistance from msr-
chants arc not worthy Of help, a.
they mainly depend upon the stores
for supplies of meat and bread when
they should rely upon their labor. A
larger crop of corn, come cane and
rice, and q few hogs with less cotton,
will be a grsatadvantage to our farm
srs; until they adopt that line Of ag-
riculturs, the demand for advances
each year from merchants will in
crease.

Washington, d. c., March 22.-1n
the Senate consideration of untin-
ished business being tho resolution
approving of the action of the Presi-
dent in regard to Louisiana was re-
sumed, and ex-President johnson
began to speak at ten minutes past
twelve o'clock.
Senatc.-Every seat is occupied.
Thousands are surging through the
galleries to hear Andrew johnson
and after II o'clock iugress was i'm
possible. The diplomatic gallery is
well filled and the Senate floor proper
is crowded with privileged outsiders.
johnson was dressed in his usual style
of elegant neatness; he has a full
suit of grey hair. His voice, first
low, gradually swelled until it rang
through the corridors. He spoke
without notes. He was loudly ap-
plauded when he said: "If Grant Is
elected n third time then goodbye to
the republic" He spoke two hours.
He received great applause from tho
galleries and congratulations from his
friends on the floor. johnson spoke
at length Of the traditions of the re
public, saying when Henry Clay in
PRODUCED resolution denonncing
jackson for removing the deposits it
was then decided tho Senate had no
right to pass upon the action of the
President unless sitting as court of
impeachment. He alluded to trou.
bles in Tennessee in 1866; when res
ignations defeated a quorum Gene.
raj Thomas xas instructed strictly to
abstain from any interference. This
dispatch was written by the Secreta.
~ of War in the presence of the
President. He declares it was not
intended Ia give utterance to sin
gle personal matter, but to speak of
public acts. He then referred to the
removal of Sheridan from command
Of the Fifth Military District in 1867 {;
it was in consequence of the vail
which came up from tho people in
that section. Why was it that Sberi-
dan was selected to send back to
these people who before condemned
him aud prayed for bis removal. He
(Juhpson) knew the determination of
tho people of the South; their great
object was to he restored to the
Union. Referring to the action Of
Grant toward Louisiana, he would
say to this emperor what Cato said
to the ambassador Of Caesar, let him
disband his legions and restore the
commonwealth to liberty; let him
10 that and he (Johnson) as humble
as lie was, would mount the rostrum
and strive to have an indignant peo-
pie forgive him for his violation Of
law,

Extra Session.

6ANA q 0V00AVAs
It is certain that the "boys" Of the
Republican party land they are both
numerous and Loudly have nothing to
gain by an extra session Of the Leg.
islature. An extra session is fraught
with danger to many of their most
precious interests, and doubtless
wears the general appearance, to
them, of q "section Of the day of
Judgment" 1t will have tho effect to
lop off the gorgeous "lIonorable"
pretixed by the Returning Board to
sundry field hands aud bummers. 1t
will also turn a stream Of grateful
perquisites in the way of clerkships,
etc, from needy pockets, and play
the mischief with the hosts of neat
operators in the way Of jobs and leg
islative swindles, which could be
worked through the Republican fam
lily, rs long as it was unmolestcd and
unopposed, with very little difficult
ty in any case, and with absolute
eclat when a ''fair divide" was made.
These inroads the boys cannot but
regard a. altogether abominable, and
being the lungs of the party, they do
not fail to make their views known.
The consequence is a lively nantes
tation of disgust at the very name Of
extra session. They doubtless rely
on the courts to uphold the acts of
their Legislature, and having drawn
their mileage and per diem, and Sc
cured everything Gin sight," they re-
gard any measures looking solely to
tho welfare of the State as superau~
GUS foolishness.
Governor Kellogg will do we'll to
disregard these views of the ritf-raff,
and proceed with adjustment accord
ing to the letter aud spirit of the
original understanding. The gentle
men who have favored adjustment on
the Conservative side are not the
stilted and stormy politicians whose
declarations are rightly classed as
cor ct pr@terea mihil, but the bone and
sinew of the party, who have acted
with moderation candor and in good
faith, and will insist on something
like the same thing from tho other
party. For this reason it would be
particularly unwise for the Executive,
and unfortunate for the prospect of
tranquility, to trif1e with them. 1t
is their understanding that there
shall be an extra session in order to
fully and legally recognize, ratify and
confirm the adjustment, and to give
the people tho fruits thereof in Ger.
tain necessary measures of reform.
The session need not, and should not,
be long, but it is necessary to demon
strate the COED faith of the Repub-
licans, which many doubted, and to
seat Immediately, before further pos
sible complications can arise, the
Conservatives declared by the arbitra-
tors to have been elected, thus put
ting an end to the controversy, 90 far
as the election Of 1874 is concerned.
Mr.. Kellogg, by disregarding tho
appeals Of interested Radical extre-
mists, and standing firmly and fairly
up to the spirit of tho understanding,
will simply 10 awaiting ]limself Of an
opportunity never heretofore present
Ell to him, Of securing place in the
good opinion of Conservatives, and
he will, in our judgment, make fatal
mistake if he fails to comply with tho
almost universal demand for q short
extra ression.-N. o. Times.
