THE EXTRA SESSION.

| The determination reached on Friday last,
to postpone the time for commencing the extra
session Of Congress to October i will excite
surprise v hch, in few quarters, will proba-
bly, be mingled with disappointment and
/ dissatisfaction 1t was manilestly the desire
/ Of the administration 10 avoid calling an
extra session, aud il il had been possible TO
provide means for defraying army expenses
until December the representatives OF the
| people would have been left free to enjoy the
| full period of their legal recess.
The storm which is evidently brewing in
the ranks of the former friends and sup
porters of Mr.. Hayes no doubt had its effect
in causing that gentleman 10 desire post
ponement. This, however, will be but a
temporary relief, for after the crushing defeat
which awaits the party of fraud in the Octo-
Der elections the old leaders like Wade, Blaine
and others will only wish for an excuse TO
leave the sinking ship.
To the business public and the main body
of American citizens the postponement will
insure an avoidance Of disturbing legislation
during the next six months. The industrial,
commercial and financial situation will not
be improved or injured by the passage or re-
peal of laws relating to debt, taxation, the
tariff, currency, banks, coinage or specie pay
ment, and toilers will be left free to work out
their own salvation without any new govern
mental help or hindrance.
The following is the text Of the proclama-
ton on the subject
Whereas the final adjournment OF the Forty
fourth Congress without making the usual
appropriation for the support Of the army foi
the fiscal year ending June 80, 1873 presents
an extraordinary occasion requiring the Presi-
dent to exercise the power vested in him by
the Constitution to convene the houses Of
| Congress in anticipation of the day fixed by
| law for their next meeting:
Now, therefore ], Rutherford B. Hayes
President Of the United States, do, by virtue
OF the power to this end in me vested by The
| Constitution, convene both houses of Con
gress TO assemble at their respective chamber!
al II o'clock noon on Monday the fifteenth day
| of October next, then and there TO consider
and determine such measures as in their wis.
dom, their duty and The welfare Of the people
may seem to demand.
in witness whereof have hereunto set my
hand and caused the seal of the United States
to be affixed.

DAWN.

The lilies droop the red rose pales
The tender violet's perfume fails
The birds are dumb, the leaves are still;
Nights dark shade infolds the hill.
0 eyes so dim with unshed tears
0 heart whose pain through smiles appears |
Thy bitter cup of sadness fill,
For night and darkness hold thee still.
The clouds are gone, the sky is clear
Nights shade has flown, the dawn is here
Warm life and love the glad air thrill;
In golden sunlight laughs the hill.
The lilies raise their dropping heads;
Fresh fragrance steals from violet BEDS
The rose with crimson bushes now
The song-birds tril, the tree-tops bow.
Oppressed with fear, no light hath shono
My weary, tangled path upon,
While Time, with swift, remorseless tread,
Cried, youth and joy for thee are dead"
Sad heart, awake and greet thy morn;
Fresh life and light for thee shall dawn;
Through skies made clear by love bright ray,
Thou, too, shalt know the perfect day.
