Meeting OF Congress To-day.

It is safe to infer that President Hayes
desires o short session from the announce
ment that his Message will touch on no
topics Of general policy and be strictly con-
fined to the objects for which the extra
session was called. Congress is indeed at
liberty to disregard his wishes in this re-
spect once assembled the two houses can
protract the session as long as they think
fit, and either House can take up any SUBJ
jects of legislation it pleases. But if Con-
gress is prudent it will not 60 into general
questions now. There can be no intelligent
the transactions Of the year. This infor-
nation is furnished at the open
ing Of every regular session, in the
Annual Message OF the President, the
annual reports Of heads of departments,
and the detailed statements Of the subordi-
nate bureaus. 1t would be absurd to legis-
late without this information, and it would
be a serious interruption Of the business Of
the departments for Congress to call for it
in fragments, on this subject and on that, at
o season when the whole clerical force and
the utmost industry Of the departmental
chiefs are needed for getting up the regular
annual reports. Even the briefest session
will interfere more or less with this neces-
sary labor, and no useful end would be
served either by attempts to legislate in the
dark or by such constant calls on the de-
partments for special information as would
interrupt the preparation of their annual
reports. II would, therefore, be wise to
confne the work of the extra session to
matters Of urgent necessity.
There are political reasons which should
operate with equal force to shorten this
extra session. Congress needs to act, not
only on the full and accurate information
laid before 1t in the annual reports, but also
on a correct estimate of the public opinion
of the country. The unexpected result of
the Ohio election confuses all judgments on
this point. One set of interpreters, with
President Hayes at their head, attributes the
surprising result in Ohio to local causes
peculiar to that State; another set regards
the Ohio election as a symptom Of general
dissatisfaction with the policy of the Presi-
dent in his own party. The November
elections will determine which OF these views
is correct, and any opinion formed
on the subject in advance will
be mere conjecture. When New York,
Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and the other
November States shall have spoken both
political parties will see where they stan d..
Neither party can take advantage OF the po-
litical situation until it knows what it is
The result in State so peculiarly situated
as Ohio is too narrow basis for q safe judg-
ment. Since it is not prudent for either
party to take leap in the dark it is to be
presumed that the cautious and sagacious
leaders of both will prefer to await the reg
ular session before going into large meas

security that can SO well cover their iniqui-
tous practices
But if the voice of the country can be
is this great satisfaction-it fully compre-
hends the issue before it. France is to de-
termine not simply on form of govern
ment, but on it's fate as nation. 1t might
almost be said that the Independent exist
cnce OF the French people is at stake; for
where people is compelled to conform its
conduct to the will of q neighbor its inde-
pendence ends, and if France does not put
down this gigantic papal intrigue that fights
oil progress and liberty in the name of con-
servatism and order if it accepts that die
tation from Rome which its government has
accepted it will find itself face to face with
Germany and Italy allied in view Of this
very contingency, and will be compelled
to renounce automatically before Eu-
rope that which it had formally nc
cepted at its own affairs by great
electoral act. But the French people will
scarcely need an incentive like this to in
duce them to reject the candidates of the
coalition. France is republican to the core !;
republican in the sense that she will be
controlled in her political functions by her
own will, and not by the will of any indi-
vidual who fancies himself fit to be her
master Every nation that is proud, intel
ligent and self-conscious is and must be
republican in this sense. That is the spirit
of the nation, and they who would sup
press this spirit recognize at once its ex-
istence and strength by pretending that
their only desire is to serve it.
But it is impossible that the nation can
be deceived by this prctence. It's percep-
tions are too acute for it to accept as friends
of the constitution and republicans all the
fag ends of the parties that have fallen to
pieces through the fact OF republican sue
cesses. When bishops command services in
the churches that the faithful may pray for
the success Of MacMahon's candidates, and
add that the Pope has decreed certain in
dulgences for whoever takes part in
these services, he must be an unusual
kind Of Frenchman who does not
deem it strange that the Pope should
take such an extra religious interest
in the political fortunes of France. And
when M. Rouher is presented as an official
candidate and urges the cause Of MacMahon
people will certainly contemplate Mac
Mahon's good will toward the Republic in
the light of the political company he keeps.
It is not possible for the nation to mis-
understand the intentions of the admins
tration, and it is not possible for the ad-
ministration to give effect to those intentions
unless the popular will is suppressed

THE SERMONS IN THE CHURCHES. yesterday
covered wide range, and were Of unusual
vgor and excellence. Nearly all Of them were
marked by the broadest spirit of catholicity
and were wholly free from the blemishes of
denominational rancor and bitterness. Mr..
Bcecher enlarged upon the great need Of the
time which, in his opinion, is simple honesty.
DIR. rockingham spoke interestingly and clo-
quently on the imperfectDon Of man. Mr..
Talmage on the annoyances of life, which he
illustrated in an apt and suggestive way.
Stanley, sitting down the West Coast of
Africa, sick and worn out at the end of his
great journey, reading tie fippant filings Of
some OF his critics, was graphically pointed by
him as an illustration OF his text Reports of
other sermons equally strong, and eloquent will
be found in our columns.

We print elsewhere an interesting collec-
tion Of private letters written by illustrious
men who were prominent in public affairs
twenty or more years ago. Among them
are several by Abraham Lincoln before his
fame had become national long one by
Salmon p. Chase SO early as 1841, when he
was already an ardent foe of slavery two
or three brief ones by General Scott
in the first and second years Of the
war; one by Henry Clay explaining
the absurd charge that he had stolen q
negro boy and one by Secretary Stanton,
intimating to Mr.. Chase President Lincoln's
probable intention to appoint him to the
written in the confidence of friendship,
give truer glimpses Of character than for
NAL productions, prepared for the public
eye. They are all honorable to the
writers, but those of Mr.. Lincoln
will be read with most interest. On
one point, the Fugitive Slave law, the views
which he held will no doubt shock some Of
his admirers, while others will regard them
as proof of the rugged honesty of his char
acter. SO long as the duty of surrendering
fugitives from labor was made duty by the
constitution Mr. Lincoln was strongly op-
posed to attempts to circumvent that
plain constitutional provision either by
legal refnements or insidious legis-
lation. He did not believe in getting
round positive engagement by any sort of
chicanery. The man to whom the country
is most indebted for the abolition Of slavery,
and whose name will be hallowed by the
African race while the world lasts, respected
the faith of contracts even when the con-
tract was condemned by every instinct Of
humanity

THE ALPHA MINING SUIT DECIDED.
DEADwooD, Nov. /

DEADwooD, Nov. 10.
One of the most important mining
cases in the Black Hills Court has Just
been decided bya jury who remained
out less than fifteen minutes. The case
was a suit against the famous Alpha
mine brought, by W. C. Bennett, for the
recovery of a o%ne-fourth interest that
he claimed to have purchased. The
verdict was rendered in favor of Pin
ney, Lorton & Co., the original and
present owners of the mine.
The points in the case are that a year
ago Mr.. Bennett purchased said inter-
est, paying therefor $500 down and re-
ceiving a deed, conditional that if with.
in 90 days he should pay u balance Of
$4,000, his title should become absolute.
He went east to secure the money, and
upon his return, as he alleges, was de.
layed in Cheyenne by Indian hostilities
which prevented his reaching Dead.
wood on time, whereupon, and after
further delay, defendants declared the
sale null and void.

The Legislative Excursion.

The Legislature on yesterday was
formally invited by General Manager
Loveland, Of the Colorado Central, to
take an excursion over the newly COM
pleted road to Fort Collins, Longmont,
Denver, Golden, Boulder, Idaho Springs
and Georgetown, starting on Saturday
next and returning ON Tuesday. The
invitation has been accepted and all ar
engagements are being perfected.
The Territorial and Government Off
cials, members of the press, together
with Gen. Merritt, several officers of the
Fifth Cavalry, and the splendid band of
that regiment, will be the only guests
invited in connection with the Legisla-
ture and its officers.
Mr.. Loveland desires us to state that
he would like to carry the entire city
oyer his road, but that owing to the
limited rolling stock the party above
mentioned will he all that he can carry
at present. None can feel sighted,
taking this view of the matter, and all
must acknowledge that the party above
named are the men who should first
ride over the road,

There are quartz mills with a
capacity of one hundred and fifty
stamps at work in Central City.
A recent assay made from the Flor

piece to be one third silver.
The owners of the City Creek water
right are talking of bringing the water
into the city. If they do. a long felt

property built up.
The extreme upper end Of Sherman
street, Deadwood, is being built uprap-
idly. Since this thoroughfare has been
widened and leveled, it has become
quite desirable for residences.
Lead City will soon be one of the
largest camps in the Hills. Eighty-fve
stamps are now in active operation,
crushing ore taken from the mines in
that immediate vicinity. Several other
mills are in course of erection, which,
when completed, will swell the number
to one hundred and ifty-ive.
A ditch from the south to the north
fork of Gold Run has just been com
pleted, for the purpose of supplying the
placer claims Of the latter with water.
This gulch is very rich, thu lack Of
water having prevented the claimsfron
being worked. This ditch will furnish

at the theatre, have begun quite au-
spiciously, and as Mac. has promised
a steady increase of attraction and new
faces, at an early date, there is little
doubt but that soon he will far surpass
any thing that he has yet produced. 1t
is very noticeable that his admirable
system of furnishing only the best class
of performances possible is rapidly in
~creasing his list of patrons, as nearly
every station of life is nightly repre-
sented among the frequenters of his
pleasant little theatre.

A committee of the workmen who
are in possession Of the Keets mine
waited upon the district attorney this
morning with a proposition that they
would abandon the property provided
they were assured of immunity from
criminal prosecution. This the district
attorney refused to promise, and the
committee retired. 1t is probable that
they will evacuate the mine tomorrow.

Bullock in this case have not put in an
appearance yet, though they are report
ed to have been within ten miles of the
city for the past three days.
