Work of the Extra session.

Washington dispatches state that the
army estimates are ready to be presented to
Congress when it meets in extra session On
the 18th of next month. 1t is said that the
President and Cabinet have considered the
advisability of sending to the extra session
the annual Message, with the accompanying
documents, but that at present it is
thought best to propose no general business
to Congress, and Tor this reason, reports
say, the Message will be brief, and confined
to the special business for which the Presi-
dent has called the session. There will not
be much trouble or delay over the army
appropriation. The democratic House re-
fused it at the last session because the re-
publicans had for years used the army to
interfere in southern political affairs and
would give no assurance that this ille-
gitimate use would not be continued The

President has fortunately settled this ques-
tion. The House on meeting in October
will have to elect Speaker; the Senate
will have to act on the appointments
made by the President since it ad-
journed. If we may believe the threats
privately made by republican politicians
in different parts of the country the
confirmation of these appointments will
become the occasion OF an organized
There is general belief in republican
political circles that the Senate will show
great bitterness of spirit, that not few of
the Presidents nominations will be re-
jected, and that he will be subjected to sys-
tematic annoyance from many of the leaders
of his party.
If this expectation should be confirmed
the extra session will be exciting and will
last until the time when the regular ses-
sion meets. That it will last, and that, in
fact, Congress will sit continuously from
the 18th of October until the Christmas
of both parties. If republican Senators
should really venture on an organized at
tack on their administration the session
might become important as we'll as
interesting. There will be enough
republicans to act with the demo-
Gratis in both houses to repeal
the Tenure of Office act, and if they
should at the same time repeal all laws pre-
scribing four years as term of Office for
subordinates appointed by the President
they would enable him to do all that is
necessary to reform the civil service of the
government.
On the whole, it is probable that the extra
session will witness some interesting de-
bates, and it may see the beginning of that
division of parties which the regular session
is sure to complete, to the great benefit of
the country and to the satisfaction Of the
mass of voters

Closing on Plevna.

Whatever may be the issue of the struggle
now in progress before Plevna, certain it is
that the Russians are drawing their
lines closer every day around the posi-
ton Of Osman Pacha The latest news
informs us that the strong lines
at Grivica, on which the Turks have placed
much reliance, have been carried by assault
by a combined force of Russians and
Roumanians after enormous slaughter
1t will be remembered that it was
at Grivica Baron Kriidener received
the check which proved SO fatal to the
troops Of Prince Shackoskoy in their assault
on Radisevo. The Russian right was held
in check while the bulk of the
Turkish army was hurled on the left
and swept it off the field. Now the
weight OF the Russian attacking army is
thrown on this strong line, and, as the de-
spatches state, with the result Of the cap
ture OF three important redoubts
that command the rear of the
Turkish left. If Osman Pacha is
driven out Of Plevna he must either
make a precipitate retreat with Russian
cavalry on both his hanks and rear or sur
render his army. There are, therefore, good
reasons for believing that before he is com
PEELED to abandon the town he will fight as

The Great Rine Mu tch.

America may we'll be satisfied with the
work of her representative marksmen
at Creedmoor yesterday, and if the
British riflemen were some points be-
hind Great Britain may, nevertheless,
point with pride to their record in
the match thus for. It does not often
happen that rifle match is shot under
such favorable conditions, and, therefore,
the work must be taken as fair measure of
the work in the respective teams. Our
marksmen have held the slight superiority
they manifested in the practice COM
petitions; but, after all, their lead Of
twenty-six points is none too great
for determined opponents like the
British rifemen to reduce to less than zero.
It would please us, indeed, to score COM
plete victory in the match and to keep the
Centennial trophy on this side of
the Atlantic for another year at least,
yet defeat at the hands of such
mighty rihemen as represent Great Britain
at Creedmoor would not be at all
humiliating. How strongly they fired is at
tested by the fine targets made by them yes
terday. Accurate transcripts Of these tar
gets, together with those Of the American
team, will be found elsewhere in
our columns, SO that those who could
not visit the beautiful range ON
Long Island yesterday may see at glance
the splendid shooting done.
The greatest interest of the match, of
course, centres in the shooting of to-day,
which will give victory to one side or the
other. To the end it will be contest
fought out with the sternest determine
ton. Of that all may be certain.
The pride Of nationality and the
grasp for the highest individual score
will stimulate the rifemen on both sides to
the most strenuous exertions to secure o
victory, and however it ends we shall un-
doubtedly have to chronicle the best rifle
match ever yet shot on any rifle range. The
perfect good feeling which exists between
the two teams is in itself an assurance that
tho sport. although intensely exciting, is
capital medium for the cultivation Of the
pleasantest kind of international friendli-

arena In which the battle Of the constitution
Is to be mainly fought, is perhaps too much
to suppose that any man could quietly
accept. 1t is known and recognized, how
ever, in this country. that the influence Of o
great name and great capacity for politics
are not neutralized, not even belittled, by
exclusion from the representative chamber
or from the active lists OF the conflict. This
has been seen in France ALSO In certain
crises of French history Talleyrand in the
Rue St Florentin was of more consequence
than whole Senate and the influence Of
names is as great in that country now as
ever. Although we sincerely hope the
appeal may result in sparing the republic
cans this injurious stroke we are of opinion
that if the government can impose its pen
atty it will eventually have no reason to
rejoice over it.

Church Imdeb ted ness.

It was of course natural that in the past
eight or ten years of commercial expansion
of all kinds devoutly ambitious pastors
and congregations should have been carried
away on religious wave of imitation and
erected moro houses Of worship than were
actually needed. 1t was the temper, or
rather the distemper, OF the time, and re-
ligious people, like every other class, caught
the contagion. We built too many rail-
roads, and q third of them are bankrupt /;
we built too many factories, and half of
them are idle !; we built too many houses,
and large percentage are tenantless. The
reports which we printed few days ago in
regard to the condition Of large number of
the churches in Paterson, n j., and the
financially crippled state ofnumerous others
all over the country, show that our church
supply has been for too large. A church was
sold in this city couple of weeks since.
Ministers ore nearly every day appealing to
the bankruptcy courts to relieve them from
pecuniary embarrassments caused by the
erection of expensive and inexpensive relig-
ious ediices. Congregations are in many
places largely indebted to their pastors, and
mortgagors ore clamoring for the money ad-
vanced by them The fact is, religious as
sociations individually rich some years ago
are poor to-day, and their places of worship
are involved in debt, not because they have
lost faith or grown tired of giving, but
because they are financially unable to
do so. This may appear at the first
glance very unfavorable and disastrous
so far as religion is concerned, but
we do not so regard it. II, unfortunately,
some poor congregations should be COM
PEELED to give up the contest in which they
are SO manfully battling, religion will be
rather the gamer than otherwise. There is
really no reason why there should be three
or four houses Of worship of the same de-
nomination in towns of twenty or thirty
thousand inhabitants when one or two
would be sufficient. This division weakens
instead OF strengthens religious effort, and
interferes with its usefulness. Better one
strong, fourishing church than two weak
and struggling ones. We hope our religious
friends everywhere may come out of their
difficulties, but if they do not their chances
for salvation will be improved rather than
impaired by the fact that their zeal was
greater than their discretion.

The Case Uf Gum b etta.

If the statement made in some Paris Jour-
nails, that the sentence pronounced on M.
Gambetta carries with it loss of civil rights
for five years, is true, the blow in affected upon
the republicans is, Of course, seriously age
gravated. Greatly increased Importance is
given by it to the possibilities of the appeal.
Without this additional consequence of the
sentence it was doubtful whether it was
wise to disturb the result by an appeal that
might change it; for though the inculpated
gentleman naturally desires that the courts
of the country should render him justice,
yet this is really political battle, and an
individual might welcome personal op-
preston which procured great advantage
not only to his party in strict sense but to
the progress OF those principles of popular
freedom for the success of which he strug-
giles. In all countries and in all
times it has proved in national divis-
ions of this nature that gross acts
of injustice injure only those who COM
NIT them. Indeed, where tho people are to
judge, where the final decision is to be
rendered at the polls, and is to flow, con-
sequently, from the opinions, sympathies
and sentiments of millions of fresides in
civilized land, there the same principle
is at the basis of politics that is the central
thought Of Christianity. II is better to be the
victim OF great wrong than its author. For
a government to use the machinery Of
justice with which to do injustice is the one
thing it can never excuse and that the
people can never forgive
Remember March, tho idcs OF March remember

admitted to all the advantages of the Syndi-
cate, with others in addition. Mr.. Coe de-
sires for the national banks the privilege of
selling one hundred millions of the national
bonds within the ensuing year with the legal
allowance Of one.half of one per cent for
expenses. So far the union of national
banks would stand in precisely the same
position as the Syndicate. But further
advantages are asked which would vir-
tually terminate the arrangement with the
latter. The substance Of the proposal
stripped OF its costume is that the
confederated national banks shall be per-
mitted to pay for the bonds in greenba backs
that as fast as the banks sell the bonds they
shall send greenbacks to the Treasury for
security and then be credited with the
amount of the bonds as a deposit in gold,
which deposit is not to be called for till the
date of resumption, when the government
greenbacks as an equivalent. Meanwhile
the banks could put their own notes in cir
culation to fill the chasm created by the with
drawal of grcenbacks and thus save the cost
Of carrying the government deposit. They
would make by the transaction not only the
half of one per cent allowed for the sale
of the bonds, but the three and half per
cent difference between the price Of gold
and greenbacks. That is to say, while the
Syndicate gets half of one per cent for sell
ing the bonds the national banks would get
four per cent Whether the cooperation
OF the banks is worth purchasing at this
price We do not undertake to say, but fair
ness to the public required us to point out
the real nature OF the proposition.

Ths Maasae On .s.t.s Democrat..

The proceedings Of the Democratic State
Convention, at Worcester, yesterday were
lively and animated but after the
withdrawal of Mr.. Adams name as a
candidate for the leading nomination
they were sufficiently harmonious. WILL
lam CASTOR, who was nominated for
Governor, is one of the most popular
men in his party, and the whole ticket
is respectable. 1t will be recollected that
in 1874, the year Of the so-called tidal wave
Mr.. CASTOR was elected Governor, to the
great joy of the democrats, the dismay of
the republicans and the wonder of
everybody. Such q triumph in Massachu-
setts, which had been the chief stronghold
of the republican party for twenty years,
was bright feather in Mr.. Gastons politi-
col cap. He made IN able and admirable
chief magistrate, as he will again if he
should be elected Mr. Adams had q strong
body of supporters in the Convention, and
it is fortunate for the party that his name
was Withdrawn; for although he is a broader
and ADLER man than Mr.. CASTOR he does not
possess anything like his running qualities
as a candidate. If Mr.. CASTOR should be
elected it will not be so electric o surprise
as his memorable election was three years
ago, for with laborers' ticket and o pro-
hibition ticket in the felr and tho repub-
lican party shaken by intestine dissensions
stranger things might happen than another
democratic victory in the old Bay State.
The platform is we'll contrived for its pur-
pose While edenouncing the election of Presi-
don't Hayes as fraudulent it does not contest
his title to the Office and encourages no steps
to upset il. After growing acceptance Of
him as President for the four years Of his
term it proceeds to indorse and praise in
the strongest manner his wise, just and
truly national policy in the South and to
claim it as q splendid success OF democratic
principles. There is too much truth in
this way Of putting it for success
full denial, and because it is SO
true it is calculated to gall the more radical
wing of the Massachusetts, republicans. It
is precisely the description they would be
inclined to give Of the Southern policy Of
the President if they were to put off their
sullenness and declare their real sentiments.
Some Of them may be in no mood to indorse
in the election policy which elicits such
hearty approval by the democrats. At any
rate, the Democratic Convention has adopted
the ikeliest method of inducing the dis
satisfied republicans to stay at home. But
a more promising stroke for success is the
strong declaration against prohibition,
which will unite all its opponents in sup
port of the democratic ticket.
