The Extra Session to Last till March,
1880.
WASHINGTON, March Z.
Opinions are almost universal that the
extra session Of Congress will be long, .
few predicting that no adjournment will
be reached until July, and Chandler and
Secretary Sherman expect it will be con-
tinuous until March, 1880. A ugly dead
lock is expected on account of the looked
for veto Of the President of the Legislative
Appropriation bill, with the amendment re-
peaiing the Election and Test-oath laws.
All important bills, including the Chinese
bill, which have just failed, will come up
again. On the whole, the Democrats look
with great misgivings to the ex-
ira session, which will solidify the Repub-
licans; even Conkling is ranging in line
the President, and will greatly demon
alize the Democracy, especially if they in
on passing the objectionable Legisla-
bill, and are compelled to yield.
