AN EXTRA SESSION.

Reports from Washington indicate
that an extra session of Congress, will
be called to provide for the raainten.
anee of the Army. In the closing
hours of the last Congress. whom the
majority of the members of the House
of Representatives were excited over
the. result of the Presidential contest,
and smarting over the defeat of the
popular Candidate by the partisan vote
of the Electoral Commission, the
House tackled an amendment to the
Army appropriation bill prohibiting the
use OF troops for maintaining bogus
Governments in the Southern States.
The Senate refused to concur in the
amendment, and pending call for the
yeas and nays on the bill in the House,
Congress expired by Constitutional
Limitation. This left the army with
cut an appropriation for its mainten-
ance after the current fiscal year,
which expires next June. 1t was be-
ieved that under an old law Of Con-
gress the President could provide for
the army for stated period after the
appropriations was exhausted. It is
now ascertained that this law is too
vague, and that an extra session of
Congress will have to be called. The
necessity for this is attributed to the
Democrats for amending the billso as
to'prevent the use of Federal troops
IN the South for political purposes,
which Republicans claim is unprece-
aented, seemingly forgetful of the fact
that Republican House OF Repre-
sentatives tackled similar amendment

A Washington special says Judge
Mackey Is authorized to speak for
Hampton on the proposed new election
and to say that he would utterly refuse
to agree to it, as not only was he elect
ed, but his title has been affirmed by
the courts. Patterson. says if Nichols
and Hampton don't accept the propo-
sition. Hayes will recognize their oppe-
nents.
Col. Bob Ingersoll leetuped ia Stein
way Hall, New York City, last night to
large audience, on political questions
and answers in regard to the policy of
the President. The speaker changed
his notes since before election, and
said there must now be peace between
the North and South. He said proper
means were now being taken for bring
ing about unity and friendship, and
joining hands of North and South.
Senator Robertson, of South Caro-
lima, and ex-Congressman. Wallace
called on the President last evening
and protested against new election,
on the ground that the substantial and
industrial interests of South Carolina
would be materially damaged by such
election. The Democrats and conserv-
atives Of South Carolina are opposed
to u new election. and Hayes wllLnot
encourage it unless both parties favor
the proposition.

w. M. Drum, Judge Advocate of
the United States Army. In a, letter to
Gen. Sherman expresses the opinion
that in absence of appropriation or
other specific statutory authority for
Military Department of the Govern
ment he would at this time be author
izei,. by Section 1892 of Revised
Statutes, to purchase or contract for
any of supplies for army mentioned in
said section, for any longer period
than during remaining part of present
fiscal year. -
A Cabinet conference was held last
night and the principal topic was a
general plan for regulation of appoint
ments to office. This was very gener-
ally discussed; but there has not been
a very definite determination. A. COM
aittee, consisting of Sehurz and Evarts,
who have had. the subject under ad-
visement, have not yet completed Civil
Service rules. The condition of the
States of Louisiana and South, Caro-
lima did not form part Of the proceed
ipgs last night. Some consideration
was given to the subject of calling an
extra session Of Congress, but that is
still for future determination by the
President. It was. settled that no
necessity existed for an extended ses-
sion Of the Senate.
