The Extra Session.

Tne Washington correspondent of the Bos-
ton Advertiser under date of Friday writes:
Inc action OF the Cabinet to-day, in postponing
the extra session of Congress until the 18th of
october, was complete surprise to everybody,
and for some hours after the news became
public it was dlscredited, or believed to be
mere rumor. The surprise was the greater
because it was understood that the President
had said up to last night, and members of the
Cabinet up to within half an hour of the time
OF the Cabinet meeting, that the session would
be called for the 4th of June. There is great
deal OF speculation tonight as to the cause of
the sudden change in the date, and members of
the Cabinet refer all applicants for information
to the carefully prepared statement made up at
the White House, which puts the postpone
ment upon two grounds: First, that the busi-
ness interests of the county do not warrant an
extra session in June, and second, that the
session may not be held in hot weather. The
truth is, however, and it is idle to ignore it,
that the sole reason for not calling Congress to-
gether urtil October is to give more time for
the development of the Presidents Southern
pohcy, and afford the people of the country
ample time to see its practical workings. The
President has been advised that the Southern
men intended to come here in June and clamor
for additional legislation. This fact, coupled
with the readiness OF a certain class of Repub-
licans to attack the administration if any weak
spot became exposed, would lead to embarrass-
ment. By postponing the session for few
months it was thought the political feeling
would cool down and Congress would come to-
gether in better frame of mind to deal with
the pending matters of legis alton. OF the few
Republican Senators IN this city all express
and the necessity of remaining here through
June and July avefted. Very grave douots
are expressed by some Republican Senators as
10 the legal right of the President to maintain
the army without specific appropriation, and
1t is held by some that such action is directly
contrary to the statutes, which expressly say
that no officer OF the government shall involve
the government IN any expense, nor shall any
money be spent in excess of the appropria-
tions made. To keep up the army without
money to pay them is regarded as a violation
OF this law. A Democratic representative
said, in speaking of this matter, that COL
gress, If called together in June, would have
provided for a reduction of the force of the
army from 5000 to 10000, and the action of the
President, in postponing the extra session un-
til October, would require that the army
should lie kept at its present strength until
next winter. 1t was the opinion of this mem.
Der that this fact alone would bring down upon
the President the censure of the Democrats in
Congress and injdre his policy throughout the
South. 1t is said that strong influence will
be brought to bear upon the President by the
Republicans to induce him to change the course
agreed upon to-day, and to call the session as at
first agreed upon, the 4th Of June.

WArERBuRY.-lhe series Of religious meetings
in this village, conducted by gospel workers from
St Adams, and noticed in your last weeks issue
as closing Sunday evening, were renewed ON Thurs
day evening Of last week, in the Congregational
church, by two of the brothers (AIessrs s. 5,
Bedard and Whitehead who took part in the pre-

singing, left Friday afternoon to attend an occl-
sion Of interest in his church at hone. But Mr.
Bedard was reinforced saturday evening By his
brother, |. A. Bedard, MI, Cooper aud Mr. Ilar-
yey, the latter leader and principal in the singing
Saturday and Sunday, six services, including two
pray er-meetings, were held in the Methodist
church This last series, rs in degree might be
said of the first, of surprising interest to
many of our people. Though scarcely the least
indication of excitement was manifest, 1t evil
dent that deep and serious feeling peryaded the
large assemblies on each occasion. Sunday morn
ing and evening, we should judge that not less than
four hundred were present; in the AFTERNOON no
quite that number. At the closing services Sun

we're about TO take leave of their many interested
hearers, not a few were deeply affected Thos,

had knit together hearts in most sacred sympa-
titles. Many Waterbury Christians, and som,
who do not claim that appellatlon, will long re
member with gratitude those faithful St Alban,
brethren. OF the general manag ement of TIT
gospel meetings it may be said that there wa,
much reading of Scripture, with few comment,
pertaining to the subjects selected for consider.
