AN EXTRA SESSION.
OFrFRS TO LOAN GOVERNMENT THE MONEY FOX
THE ARMY-PREsIDENT HAYES NOT YET De
CIDED.
[nr TELEGRAPH TO TIE rRIRrNE.l

IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUSEl
WAsUINGTON March 1.-THE President has not
vet decided whether il will be necessary TO convene
an extra session OF Congress. A number of pitriOic
capitalists have; offered to loan the Government
without interest The S;,00O,000 or $j,000,0G
needed TO pay the army from July to December,
and the President is dCsiTOus OF accepting the offer
in case the prCprcty of such action IL generally ap-
proved by leading men Of both political parties.
The Republicans appear to bo unannous in favor
ing this method OF tlng over the difficulty; aud
thus far there is opposition manifested among the
Democrats The President is dcsirous that his con
duct in case he takes this course shall not he open
portisan attack from the opposition when Congress
meets. He is not willing therefore to decide
10 dispense with the extra session unless
n number of prominent Democratic Con-
pressmcn assure him that they approve
the plan and promise to vote for an appropriation to
refund the borrowed money as soon as Tie regular
session begins. All The Democrats with whom he
has conversed upon the subject thus far appear to
be as anxious to avoid an extra session a. the Ke-
publcaIs and the prospect is that the formal under
standing which the President desires 10 have with
the leaders of that party will be reached by the end
of The week, and thai tLe whole subject VIII thus
be removed from the field Of partisan discussion.
In case, however such an understanding cannon dc
reached, the President will call an extra
session. He appears TO be committed u
some date early in June as the tme
for tbe meeting Some of tie Republicans would
like to have It either earlier later. They fear
that if il is postponed long tlat The necessary
reaction which will follow the present enthusiastic
approval of the Presidents policy will set in, and
that the chances will moi bc good for the Admins
tration to organize the House. Afterward they
think there will be rebound from this reaction, 50

Col. Robert G. Ingersoll Of Illinois received no
doubtful welcome at Steinway Hall last evening,
and gave his personal Judgment on American poll
ties and government in no doubtful phrase. Tho
people OF New-York learned nc Cooper Union last
Fall that he was man OF commOn-sense ideas In
politics, and had an epgrammatic and forceiul way
of expressing himself. Despite the inclement
weather, Stenway Hall was flied both floor and
gallery many ladies being present, and
the audience representing the solid, thought
full clement of the metropolis. Perhaps
quarter of the audience was composed of Democrats.
Postmaster James, Cyrus W. Field Thomas c.
Acton, and Hugh Gardner among the gentle
men noted on the platform. A. b. Cornell introduced
Col. IngersOll, and was the cynosure Of all eyes
while the speaker denounced otfice-seekers in the
most scathing terms, calling forth applause and
peals of laughter Col. Ingersoll read from manu-
script and when following the text closely, in an
uneven and somewhat jerky manner, but when
speaking without this restraint his voice and gestures
assumed an impressive eOquence. The running,
easy way in which he hit of the salient points of
tie long campaign filed the audience with laughter
At the mention of Hayes and Wheeler there was "a
storm Of applause. Col. Ingcrso suggested that
hereafter the electors should themselves meet in
Washington and decide the vote, settling their own
difficulties. lie would engthcn the terms of office.
Elections were too frequent Some applause greeted
his plea for silver. An Outburst Of appreciation
followed his appeal for the paccatiOn of the South
and commendaion OF President Hayes's policy here
must be peace, he said. between the North and South
some time; not a conquered peace, but peace that
should conquer. Great enthusiasm evoked by
the mention of William NJ. ElartS. The whole
Cabinet was cheered and especially Postmaster
General Key. Col. Inqersol believed this appoint
ment wonld be proof of the Presidents wisdom.
The policy suited the moderate men Of business.
