PkFsIDENT GARFIELD is inclined to MAKE
haste slowly about calling an extra session
of Congress, and it is probable that thu
Treasury will be able to meet the absolute
necessities which may arise without cal
led session.
SENT TO TIE PENITENnARY In the
cases of Haines, Miskry, and Clements
convicted of conSpiring to defraud the
city of Philadelphia, Judge Finletter on
Saturday oyerruled the motion for new
trial and in arrest of Judgment, and SEN
fenced the prisoners to pay fine OF $500,
costs Of prosecution, and to undergo an
imprisonment Of eighteen months in the
Eastern Pententiary 1t is said that this
is only Il commencement That others
will 90 the same road. The sentence fell
like a clap of thunder on the political
culprits.
President HAYES vetoed the Funding
bill solely ON account of the fifth section.
which compels the banks after July /, to
take the per cent bonds as the security
for circulation. He says such law
threatens destruction to the national
banks that the organization of new
banks would be prevented, and that the
national banking system become a mo-
nopoly in the hands Of those already en-
gagged in it. Believing that any refund
act would defeat its own object, if it i'm
perilled the national banking system. he
declined to sign the bill
THE new Senate would have stood 81
Republicans, 81 Democrats and indie
pendent Democrats on the 4th of March
had Carpenter been alive but Carpenter
is dead and his place can't be filed until
Tuesday next Now Blaine, Window
and kirkwood have withdrawn to enter
the Cabinet, and the Senate can't be full
again for a week. The reorganization of
the Senate by the election of officers and
the appointment Of committees, will likely
be made by the Democrats during the
present week. Malone of Va is the un-
known quantity. He took his scat with
the Republicans, but it is not known how
he will vote.
EVIDENCES multiply that President Gar
fields Inaugural has made a most favor
BILE impression in the South All the
leading journals praise it and accept its
declarations. This is reassuring in the
highest degree. What he said about the
South was manly, clear and uncompromis
ING and il was said ina spirit which showed
that he was determined to stand by his
wold. The South likes this vigorous
talk. and for the first time shows n desire
to leave the past forever and advance to
higher ground. 1t is an interesting situa-
ton. Perhaps the real explanation is that
the South with the North is convinced at
last that the old principles have had
their day.
Tie skies are Frightening in Ireland
The Protection Act is not to be applied
hastily and capriciously, but prudently
and intelligently. The tremendous en-
CINE OF repression which has been set in
motion is to be brought to bear only
where force is absolutely required. Lon
don telegrapEs state that Mr.. Forster
Is in Dublin acting laborOusly and care
fully. and that it is not probable that m1ny
arrests will be necessary With Mr.. Par
nell fitting to and from Paris like a rest
less storm-bird, and Mr. Dillon taking re-
tnge III Ireland, where he will be certain
to be run to earth after defying the Gov
ernment, the Home Rulers are left in the
Commons without leader.
THE train on the Baltimore and Poto.
mac Railroad, on which ex-President
Hayes and his family and friends left
Washington Saturday afternoon, met in
collision few miles from Baltimore a
tram consisting of two engines and seven
empty passenger cars going south. Two
men, j. Wyman Young, of Shamokin.
Penn and John Oliver, the baqgaoe-
master were killed, and twenty "persons
eleven passengers and nine train-men"
We're injured, some of them. it is thou0ht
fatally. The engines and several of the
cars were wrecked. The chair in which
ex-presldent Hayes was sitting was thrown
several feet forward, but neither he nor
Mrs Hayes was injured.
