The President Threatens to Call
an Extra Session.
Especial to the sENrISEL]

WASHINGTON, April 19.-Blair of New
Hampshire tRep.), offered the following
Resolved, That in the judgment of the
Senate, the public interests require Con-
gress to be convened in public session i'm
mediately.
He read a letter asserting that the re-
cent decisions of the Supreme Court meant
ruin to hosiery and knit good, and the in
dustry of New England, and suggesting
an extra session as a relief. He called the
attention of the Chairman of the Com
mittee on Foreign Relations to the fact
that De Lesseps is digging his canal to-
day, and that it was becoming a vested
right. There would be no remedy for this
if immediate action was not taken, except
war. There were other considerations
which made it almost imperative that
there should be an extra session, and that,
as loon as the House could be called to-
gether. The Senate was booked until
December. The Democrats had taken
their position, and it would be cowardly
for them to retreat. The Republicans had
taken their position, and it would be
cowardly for them to retreat. He offered
the resolution without consultation with
his colleagues. Let the deadlock be broken
in a way which the Democrats would con-
sent to have it broken.
Logan spoke in refutation of the charge
made, and which he characterized as a
SANDER, that he at any time sympathized
with secession. He read in supper of his
denial a letter which he had received from
Senators Lamar and Pugh, who served
with him in Innnrlcc OF fha Ar4hrno1r ~
the war, bearing testimony to his (Lo-
gan's) loyalty at that time. He also
quoted from speeches made by himself to
show his opposition to secession, and chal-
lenged anybody to show any speech in
which he had upheld the rebellion. He
denied explicitly the various charges that
he had raised a company to join the rebels,
n read letters to prove these charges
absolutely false.
Proceedings of the New York
Branch of the international So
ciety.
PHILADELPHIA, April 19.-The Ledger's
New York special says The New York
branch of the International Society, at a
secret meeting yesterday, are said to have
gone through the formality of trying and
condemning the Gar, Alexander III, for
the murder Of Sophia Perofsky and her
confederates. On such occasions it is said
that all the regular forms Of judicial pro-
ceedings are ~scrupulously obseryed-the
accused Gear being allowed counsel, even
to plead against the Indictment, and the
verdict being dependent upon the decision
OF twelve men regularly sworn, the Presi-
dent Of the society acting as Judge. When
the proceedings are concluded an official
report is drawn up and forwarded to the
parent society in London or Geneva, or
wherever else it may be located. The same
ceremony is said to be observed in all the
great cities where a branch of the Interna-
tional exists. The evidence of a branch
society in New York, it may be added, is
well known to the Russian Embassy at
Washington, as well as to the Russian Con-
sulate here, and 1t is certain that out
going lists of passengers for Europe are
narrowly watched by their paid agents,
with a view of keeping track of whatever
suspicious characters may be on board.
If any such are discovered, a full descrip-
ton of their person is eabled to the Consul
residing at the port for which the steamer
is bound, and also to the military head
quarters at st. Petersburg. How these
agents manage to do this work without un-
covering themselves is a mystery, but
some of the more shrewd of our New York
detectives, who appear to know all about
it, profess to be able to single them out on
the wharves almost any steamer day.
