AN EXTRA SESSION.

An EXPECTATION THAT IT MAY BE NEEDED.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-The prospect OF an extra
session Of Congress has been of the most general
topics of conversation at the Capitol to-day. Intiu-
entail Democrats including Speaker Randall, ex-
press the opinion that none will he necessary. The
appropriation bills, they say, will all be disposed OF
before the 4th of March. AT the time it is un
doubtedy true that majority of the House of Rep
resentatyes will vote for reduction of the army
and in favor Of adding proviso to the Army Appro-
pation bill forbidding the use of troops in cOnnec
ton with State elections The Senate would prOba-
biz refuse to accept any such legislation as this and
if the House should insist upon it the Army bill
would probably fail. The determination Of leading
Democrats to carry these points are the principal rea
sons why an extra session of Congress is looked upon

THE PRESIDENCY.
OREGON sENT no ME COMMISSION.

OREGON SENT TO THE COMMISSION
Mr. TlLDEN PUBLICLY DENIES THE OREGON SCAN
DAL-sURMIsEs as TO THE NEW CABINET-NIGHT
SESSION OF THE COMMISSION.
The House voted yesterday not TO sustain
the objections TO Nevada. The Joint COnven-
ton accordingly met, and the votes of Neya-
da, New Hampshire, New-Jersey, New York,
North Carolina, and Ohio, were counted.
Reading of tedious papers was omit
ted, and the count took place rapidly.
Oregon was objected to by the Democrats, and
was referred to the Commission. The Com
mission resolved to finish the arguments at
once. 1t remained in session until late at
night. Messrs. Kelly, jerks, and Hoadly
spoke for the Democrats; and Messrs Mitchell,
Lawrence, and Evarts for the Republicans. In
published letter to Senator Herman, Mr.. Tilden
makes full denial of all knowledge of the
use of money in Oregon, and he repudiates
the agreement not to investigate his bank
accounts. Gov. Hayes has been asked to come
to Washington in February to consult about
a Cabinet. Mr.. Evarts is generally mentioned
for the highest seat in it.

WASHINGTON Feb. PA few leading Republic
cans have yesterday and to-day written letters to
Gov. Hayes urging him to come here four OF hve
DAVIS before the Inauguration, in order TO have time
to confer with the groups Of men representing the
different shades of ideas existing in the party prior
TO making up his mind as to Cabinet appointments.
Ii is believed that he will leave Columbus about
Thursday next reaching Washington the next day.
SpecuatOns as to the composition OF the new CaDl-
net are abundant, but it is agreed upon every side
that they are all mere guesswork. Some OF
this random guessing will no doubt Int the mark,
however for there Is beginning to be a substantial
unanimity of opinion among those who know the
new President well as to the motives which will
govern him in making his selections Personal pref
erences 1t is believed will be subordinated to the
desire to choose of recognized prominence, abii-
ity. and worth. As New-Engand Senator re-
marked recently, 1t will not be Cabinet of
scrubs and nobodys." proper regard will no doubt
be had for the traditional geographical considera-
tions.
II is generally thought that no member OF Presi-
dent Grants Cabinet will remain, not because they
do not enjoy the esteem of Gov. Hayes, nor because
they do not have notable claims on account OF party
seryice but because t would be nvidiOus to retain
any without retaining all, and TO retain all would
be to disappoint the country, which does not want
