From our special Correspondent.
Washington, d. C., MAY ., 1877.
The President is in daily receipt of letters
from members OF Congress and business men
from all parts of the country urging him not TO
call an extra session If It possibly be avoid.
cd. That question was decided some time ago,
however. by the President and his Cabinet in
that the army cannot be legally provided for
without Regular appropriation by Congress,
winch It failed TO make during the last session.
Other departments also require legs atlye aid
notably tine justice and Navy Departments
The Eastern war increases the importance OF
immediate attentions being given the navy
since that force s particularly inefficient, eSpe.
cially when compared to that OF other Couutrle
less prosperous As regards all other condltions
than is the United States. AS our naval force
now exists it would hardly be able TO enforce
the strict neutrality laws proposed by our Gov
ernment toward the war between Turkey and
Russia, nor TO protect American commerce
abroad. The time fixed iOr the couvening OF the
extra session is June 4th but IL will MOI be pro.
cIallneu olntlhlly until the return Of Secretary
/ Evarts, now IN New YORK.
