THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.
WILL THERE BE AN EXTRA
SESSION!
Wide Diherenee of Opinion Upon
the subj eet-The senate Organized
by the RePublIeans-The New Conn
mittees-Garfield and the Southern
Place-Hunters.

want an extra session, and have urged upon
President Garfield to call one. The ques-
ton was considered in a Cabinet meeting
this afternoon. While not definitely set
tied, the impression gained from members
OF the Cabinet is that there win be no such
session called. A canvass OF the Republi.
cans in the Senate was made to-day, at the
request OF President Garfield, and ohly
three Senators were found who favored It.
1t seems to be more certain than ever that
there Will be no extra session.
The Southern Republicans of the style
and type which have since the war
predominated and grazed, are disguated.
They take no comfort to themselves Of
nights and wear gloomy looks by day.
They swarned upon Washington with Gar
fed. They came fully prepared to scoop
in everything and anything. They were
ready to sacrifice themselves upon the coun-
try's altar for anything that
ranged from five hundred dollars per annum
upwards. They had heard that Garfield
wanted to build up the Republican party in
the South, and were thoroughly convinced
that they alone could be the accepted stones
for the masonry. Therefore they come.
They come in large numbers. Garfield has
had them upon him without cessation of
day, and without a chance to protest that
they shall come no more. He saw thems
They were the old gang. But they are
disconnected. They got M salts
faction. In fact they got nothing.
They left the White House daily with their
inner consciousness telling them that their
day is over. They have no more influence
upoa him than l have. They see this and
lament and get mad. Garfield don't want
them. He knows who they are and that IL
he wants to do any building up in the South
they will have to be given the seats next to
the wall, or rather not admitted at all. His
idea is to get men who are responsible and
at the same time respectable Not finding
them among the old gang he will look else
where. Hence the tears of the Southern
Republican bummers. They came aud have
not conquered. They will not be even
given a smell.
w. L. Clarke, of Atlanta, who edits the
RspatbticGn, q so called newspaper in that
/ city, is here. He Is very unanimous and is
/ whooping it up for himself for place
/ somewhere in the public crib. He will take
anything-if he can get it. But he does
not stand much chance OF getting 1t. He
/ has 'opes, though, be It borne in mind, and
is said to be backed by Bryant, John E.
SENATE PROCEEDINGS.
In anticipation Of a renewal Of the debate
upon the subject Of organic alton, the gale

to their utmost capacity, while many per-

nays 81. Mr.. Davis, of Illinois, voted in the
negative with the Democrats. When Mr..
