Extra Sessions.

There have been six extra sessions
called. in the history of congress, beside
that just ordered by President Hayes.
Adams called one in 1897 to prevent
the threatened war with France; Van
Buren, called one in 1887 to remedy the
financial distress of the country after
the great panic; Harrison called one in
1841 to consider revenue matters;
Pierce called one in 1856, which was the
first time an appropriation bill failed,
which was the army bill, because pro-
viso prohibiting the use Of troops in
Kansas against free-soilers was attached
to it. 1t was during this session that
the long fight was made in. the organi-
zation of the house, resulting in the
election of Banks as speaker, and this
was the time when Sumner was attack
ed in the senate chamber by Brooks.
In 1861 President Lincoln called an ex-
ira session to provide for the emergency
of the war.
