A number OF l-adnS Republicans
heid an informal coul-lence last even
lug upon the question OF calling another
extra session, and the opinion was
unanimous that it would be better not
to call it unless the President is con-
viLc-d that the public interests require
such a course. Representatives Gar
field and Townsend, of Ohio, called at
the White House to night, and ac-
quainted the President with the views
of tie Republicans on the question.
The President informed them that the
matter was being carefully considered,
and that no decision would be announc-
ed until to morrow.
Before final adjournment it is custom
AIRY for joint committee of the two
