A Mad COngressmRns

New York, 19.-The Washington spe.
cial 10 the Commercial Bulletin, Usually
well informed, says President Garfield
told a senator, to-day, that unless the
deadlock in the Senate was broken this
week, he would call an extra session OF
Congress on Saturday to convene
within reasonable time.
Senator Logan made g speech this
afternoon in reply to tae oft-repeated as
sertion that he had favored secession prior
to the rebellion. He read from his
| speeches of those days and presented
documentary evidence to show his devo-
ton to the Union, and refute the charges
so often made.
| When he finished. Brown, of Georgia,
declared the speech satisiiei him, and
other democratic senators, freely admit
that they are convinced that injustice has
been done Logan by these reports.
Senator Blair, in his speech, to-day,
stated that the President was anxious to
have his nominations confirmed In
fact, it is no longer sny secret The Pre-
sidens expresses TO his friends his desire
20 have the nominations confirmed. Some
republican senators favor caucus to con-
slider the matter and devise some plan for
executive sessions, and few days ago it
was believed this sentiment would pre-
vail. Now the majority seem to favor
continuance of the deadlock. Republi-
cans agree that they will not back out
Democrats do not believe there will be an
extra session, hence they will not outline
policy in case Blair's resolution is
adopted.
