VIII There Be nm Extra

VIII There Be nm Extra Session Of Congress?
Tho idea of an extra session Of Congress
has been based almost altogether up to this time
upon the necessity of action on tho army appro
priation bin, which failed, but there are other
questions which enter In tho probabilities of A
new session. Several Senators and Representa-.
tivos who have looked into the matter SEQ no
necessity for called session merely on account
Of tho army bull. II, of course would not take
effect any how until the first Of July. There is
provision under other laws for the subsistence of
the army until December /, and the only question
would DO as to the pay. This, II ia thought
could be bridged over for tho time being The
other important subject that has entered into tho
discussion OF tho call Of an extra session Is that
tho President would be pleased to have an OK
preston ofopinion from both Houses Of Congress
In relation to some of tho very important aues.
tons that will arise early in his admins ration
Upon this point ho asked tho advice of q nun.
bcr OF political friends who called upon him yes.
torday. These gentlemen represented tho m 70
conservative element OF the Republican party
liberal Democrats. whiio there is no doubt Thai
the President is prepared TO act with indeptnd.
sncc on OIL questions, and to accept the RESPONSE
bilty for his ncts, he would not be avcrss to hay
ing some expression OF opinion, by debate or resl-
luton, upon questions which might naturally
he fact that the debates in tho eSirn session of
the Senate have taken such turn as shows 81.
obiec to hear the opinions Of the immediate rep.
resentatives Of tho people as we'll.
mThero Is a great division Of sentiment among
the Representatives themselves on this question:
nnd which Is rot confined TO either party First
there I, the organization which all would liks to
have well over, on account of tho coseness OF tho
two parties. Noxt, thero is the fear that n tho
House once meets thcro may be such ronewcd
agitation as Will cause another disturbance of
business, which has been quleting down since the
settlement Of tho Presidential question. On tho
whole, therefore, 1t may be faid, that tho aues.
tion OF calling an extra session IL still held in
abeyance. A large number OF members still re.
main horc, and they urge that II II Is TO be called
at all II might as vol be called early, SO that
members who live at q great distance need not 10

The central portion Of the United States
is represented in President Hayes Cabinet
by five gentlemen-Mr. SHERMAN, of
Ohio Mr.. KEY, of Tennessee Mr.. Nc
CRARY, of Iowa Mr.. THOMPSON, OF Indi
ana, and Mr.. SCHuRz, of Missouri, while
the East has two representatives, and the
Pacific States, which really accomplished
the triumph of the Republican party, isnot
represented at all. 1t was generally be
lieved two weeks before the Cabinet was
announced that the Pacific States, with
their undoubted claims to representation,
would secure at least one representative in
the Cabinet Why they did not remains a
mystery, but undoubtedly President HAYES
has some proper reason why their demands
were not granted.

VICE PRESIDENT WHEELER will not
prove mere nominal appendsge to the
Presidency. The President will undoubt-
edly avail himself of the excellent counsel
and advice of Mr.. WHEELER, whose as.
sistance at the White House will often be
required. Should he go to the South, US
has been suggested, at the head Of a com
mission to examine critically the state of
affairs there and learn the views of both
sides about the settlement of existing trou-
bles. he will undoubtedly command the
greatest confidence and respect.

made to the argument of Mr.. BLAINE on the

The organization Of the next National
House of Representatives may turn upon
the result nrx. Tuesday in the three Con.

IS important to the country, as well as to

TOLITTCIL NOTES.

President Hayes has been very suddenly
called on to decide whether he proposes to have
any influence with the present Administration.
The political situation was terselv
summed up the other day by COl. Ingersoll whom
should like to know"
The happiest man in Washington Is ex.
President Grant. II he could have taken the
floor In tho Senate he would doubtless have said,
go on with tho procession, gentlemen. 1t Is not

Hewitt and Tildcn.
A republication Of n few OF those Demo.
cratic editorials printed before election, whercin
II was conclusyely proved that Hayes would be
supple tool in the hands OF Senators COnkling.
Cameron and Morton, would be juicy reading
Just now.
When the Senate Of the United States
goes into executive session TO ponder over Presi-
dent Hayes Cabinet It would be we'll to consider
the fitness Of the seven gcntlemen who have been
nominated before discussing the. claims of tho
seven thousand seven hundred and seventy seven
gentlemen who think they ought to have been
nominated.
Faint. hearted patriots, who are everlast-
ingly on the lookout for portcntous shapes and
who imagine that every rumble Is the precursor
Of an earthquake, are ncedlessly alarmed at the
furry In Washington. There scoms to be no oc.
sasion to "iain, With fear fear Mr; Hayes has set
will be very likely to succeed.
Most of the Democratic journals are not
In humorous mood these days, but the Cincln-
natl Enquirer cannot resist the tempta tion to
poke q little fun at MIR. Tilden. 1t says: "Mr.
1ilden will not be q candidate for President in
1850. The House formally declared him elected
by resolution on the Sd instant, and Mr.. Tllden
has emphatically announced nll along that he
was a one-term man.
This Is a suggestive paragraph from the
Clereiond Leader: President Hayes cannot ex.
pect to escape criticism. Ho cannot serve botn
the people and the politicians who think that
the party IN power owes every voter u living.
There must be a collision between the Admins
tratiOn and the abuses which II would reform.
That collision may as we'll come now at any
time" That is about the size OF the tight, and
the new occupant Of the White House seems to
have measured 1t pretty accurately.
With the Vice Presidency and the chief
places In the Cabinet New York is doubtless well
satisfied with her position in the new Admins
tratiop, and Is not disposed to speculate on what
might have been. The truth of the following
from the Chicago Journal is nevertheless appa-
rent: "a year ago the name of Wheeler was
more familiar to the American people than that
of Hayes. The truly great service rendered by
Mr.. Wheeler In Louisiana as an arbitrator gave
him an enyiable national reputation. Had Ssna-
tor Sherman been COnkling and Senator COnk
ling q Sherman, tho order OF the ticket might
have been reversed. Tho truth Ia, tho two men
are peers, and We confidently believe that tho
Vice President will be an important factor In tho
new Administration"

MR.. TILDEN strosgly opposed the CON-
promise, and often expressed himself in
that sense to members of Congress. Had
he thought the Commission WAS going to
be eight to seven against him he would
have made a public declaration of his op.
position to the Tribunal on the grounds Of
its being unwise and unconstitutional.
This Is n case where "better late than
never" will not do.

THE coRoSER's JURY have at last returned
q verdict upon the fatal Ashtabula catas-
trophe that occurred some nine months since,
and lays the entire responsibility upon the
railroad company-frst, for defects IN the
construction of the bridge, which was erected
under the direction Of the company; second,
the apparatus by which the cars were heated
having been not so arranged as to be easily
controlled n case Of confsgration; third,
tho fre.exting uishirg engine being sadly de-
layed in passing over a circuitous route to the
scene of horror. The verdict closes ss fol-
lows:
That those persons deceased before mentioned
whose bodies are Identified, and those whose
bodies and parts of bodies unidentified, came to
their deaths by the precipitation aforesaid of the
ears In which they were ridihB mo the ehasm In
of the bridge as afOre said, the crushing and burn
ing of the cars Aforesaid, for all Of which the
railroad company Is responsible.
This Is Just as II should be. But will the
hundreds of bereaved families or the many
newly made helpless orphans find any mate
rial remedy for this act OF the compauy's neg
ligence, that has perhaps by sing ie accident
changed forever the fate of so many lives
Verify, the time has come when railroad COM
panIes as well as individuals should be hed
strictly accountable for the charges entrusted
to them, whether they be of lives or property.
When bridge is erected the engineer In
charge OF the work should be regarded as
vouhing for It's safety and strength in the
minutest particulars, and in case of death or
accident through any of It's failiDgs he should
be held amenable to the criminal law of the
land. Until then the travelling community
may well feel sense of instructive horror as
they are rolled over the rails-somstimes to
the doom of mos. torturing death.
