A letter received hore to-day from Dir. Bigger,
secretary of the Virginia democratic State con-
mittee. says that while tie hopes of the demo-
Gratis of his State ara not 30 buoysnt as they wero
before the recent elections they are by no means
depressed. and that doubt is expressed in thst
State of the succe,s Of either the Slate or tie
national TICKET.
Should both houses OF Congress be republi
can and Garfield be elected it is by no means
improbable that an extra eession Of Congress
will be held IS soon after the 4:h of next March
as 1t can be convened, and the excuse for it be |
based upon the ground of the failure of the de. !
mocrats to provide tor the payment of tho su-
pervisors of ee c!ions.
