A Short Extra Session Anticipated.

According to the Star the general i'm
preston in Washington is that the extra
session of the Senate will scarcely extend
beyond a week, as there will be but little
for it to do. Nothing but executive bust
ness can be transacted, and it is not be-
lieved President Arthur will have much
to submit. The theory of a short session
is founded upon the suppOsitiOn that the
organization viii be effected without a
partisan fight AL the indications point
to a quiet and peaceable organization
through mutual concession. Should a
dispute over the offices to be filed arise,
a deadlock would probably ensue and
continue until the regular meeting of
Congress. But there is no reason to appre-
bend such unseemly conduct on the part
of our highest legislative body. The COM
mittees, according to a custom Of the
Senate, are created at each session to ex-
ist for and during that session; but
should any dispute arise at the coming
extra session over the division of COM
mittees, the whole question of their for
nation may be deferred until the regu-
lar session, as the few appointments
likely to be made by the President will
not necessarily require consideration by
committees. The plan of conceding the
President pro tempore and the-Secretary
to the Democrats and of according the
committees to the Republicans seems to
meet with general favor, and, no doubt,
some such compromise will be adopted.

The Legislature and the State Road
Lease.

The able speech of Senator Brown,
which we published on Monday last,
would seem so clearly to vindicate the in
tegrity Of the lease Of the State Road, and
tOs how the purely trivial and technical
character of the grounds upon which the
action Of the Legislature authorizing
proceedings for canceling the lease is
based, that nothing more was necessary
to be said on the subject. But as the
question is one involving, as we conceive,
the good faith of the State, as well as the
interests Of the people, we present in an.
other column an able editorial from the
Atlanta Constitution, in which the views
of Senator Brown are fully indorsed and
sustained, as we doubt not they will be
by the voters Of Georgia whenever their
voice can be heard.

1t is curious fact that the census of
Utah makes the number of females in
that land of many wives but SO, 4S6, OF
less than the number of males by 5,035.
If the census be correct there is but q
fraction of female to each male of the
population. OF the total population,
143. 9O7, there are 90, 974 native born.and
43, 933 foreign born. OF the whole
number Of inhabitants, &c. 900 in round
numbers are Gentiles and 124. 600 Nor
mons, and of the Mormons but 1000
have more than one wife. There are.
however, 1000 women with but a frac.
ton of a husband apiece. Most of the
polygamists are old people. The expen-
siveness Of feminine apparel OF late
years has put an effective check upon
the disposition of the young to poly
gamy.

New Orleans Democrat "a press
dispatch from New York announces the
consolidation Of 2,13S miles of railroad,
hitherto under different management,
but now placed under the sole control OF
King Cole These railroads reticulate
seven border and Southern States. The
consolidation seems to have had for its
purpose the interests Of the port of Nor
folk, Va. Thus it may be safely assumed
that large quantity of the cotton of the
South Atlantic States and the varied
produce of the border States, will pour
through Norfolk to the different foreign
markets. This new railroad monopoly
cannot help but injure the traffic OF
Charleston and Savannah, and perhaps
both Pensacola and Mobile"
Was it to accomplish this end that our
Georgia Legislature gave 'this new rail
road monopoly" a charter to build a
line parallel with that Of the State Road
and run rough-shod over other railroads

feIted and take charge immediately. Then
why all this Htigations What motive could
either the committee Of the Legislature
have had for authorizing any such pro-
esedingg
The most importsnt point to the public
was whether the road is run fairly SIS trunk
line, giving all connections just showing,
or whether they Disseminated in favor of
their own favorites, Il they had any. But
after the investigation the committee say
there is no evidence Of any discrimination.
The road has, therefore, been worked fairly
and justly.
We believe, however, that the Governor
and the Attorney General, in looking into
this whole case, will see the utter absurdity
of the proceeding, and that they will refuse
to involve the people and the lessees IN a
senseless and expensive litigation, when
neither party desires il. Doubtless the eyes
of the tax payers will be upon the Govern or
and the Attorney General in this matter,
and they will want very substantial reason
for the litigation II there should be one. To
put 1t simply on technical grounds will not
satisfy them. They will want to know how
tho public interest is subserved by it. As
far as the question relates to the action of
the Legislature We do not care further to
discuss It. We have no doubt their con-
stituents when they look into It will put
the proper estimate upon their services and
reward them accordingly. And we shall
not believe till we see it, that the Attorney
General has been guilty Of the folly of in
volving the people and the lessees in liti-
cation which can result to the benefit of no
one but the attorneys employed.

A Candidates Woes.

The Hon. Charles S. Wolfe, the indie
pendent Republican candidate for Treas
urer Of Pennsylvania, is already having
a rough experience. Immediately on the
commencement of his candidacy the Re.
publican press of Pennsylvania opened
a broadside on him along the whole line,
in which such epithets as TRAITOR,
"deserter, etc.. were fercely hurled at
him. Hardly had he recovered from this
raking, when some thief entered his
apartments in a Philadelphia h.-tcl and
stole therefrom his carefully prepared
speech with which he had expected to
startle the natives and win thousands of
votes And now comes the Building
Association League OF Philadelphia,
which denounces Mr.. Wolfe for his op-
position in the Legislature to building
association interests, and declares him
unworthy Of the votes Of the members
Of these associations. For a man who
has been a candidate but two weeks it
must be conceded that Mr.. Wolfe has
had it little rough, but it is likely only a
foretaste of what he will experience by
the tides of November.

Of last years campaign, and at ban
ouet given him in New York city, at
which the then Vice President complI-
mented him very highly, was given ex-
elusive credit for the purchase of Indiana

member, Mr.. Arthur then credited him
with the Republican success in the gen
eral election. It is certain, remarks the
Bridgeport Farmer, that he rendered
valuable and conspicuous services, and
has been rather prosecuted than rewarded
for them. But, despite these facts, it is
scarcely probable that the President will
dare to appoint so prominent 'star
reuter-" to the Post Office Department.
Mr.. Dorsey should feel content with the
probable Limitation Of the star route

THE report of immigration for the six
months ending with December has Just
been issued, and it shows that the immigra-
ton for 1880 was the largest ever known.
More than half of the immigrants are from
Great Britain, and only one-seventh from
Ireland The New York Tribune COM
ments: Nearly 100000 immigrants have
arrived in single year. The increase in
population from 1870 to 1880 was IL ,594,
1873, while the immigration during that
time was 1865, 245, leaving an increase of
only 1855, 900 due to other causes. This is
an average of S58 900 yearly, but the immi-
grafton in 1880 has been nearly 20 per
cent. of that number. In olden times,
when certain men and women in this coun-
try were valued in dollars and cents, an
able bodied adult was thought worth more
than 81 900, and there is no doubt that the
free laborers who are coming from other
lands, with their enterprise, thrift and hab-
its of industry, add to the net product of
this country far more than the interest on
$4,000 each. In money value only, there
fore, the country is the richer by more than
$1,200, 600, 600 for the immigration of 1880.
Moreover, the amount of money brought
with them by the class of immigrants who
have been coming for year past has been
larger than usual. Those who are most fa-
miliar with the facts estimate it at over $50
per capita. If this is correct estimate,
the immigrants of 1880 brought hither, be-
sides themselves and their energy, industry
and producing power, nearly $3O,OO0,OOO
in gold of which the returns of exports and
imports give no account

Nor a word has been heard from Ben
netts arctic steamer, Jeanette, for over
sixteen months, and dismal fears are enter
tanned that she is enlarged in the ice of
Wrangell Land, from which the difficulties
of extrication are very great. The govern
ment will send vessel to her relief. which
will make an effort, next season, to reach
Wrangell Land. The pole of maximum
cold" is located by geographers near Va
kutsk, in Northern Siberia, and from the
great Siberian plains issue the most power
full and intense icy blasts that reach the
regions surrounding Wrangell Land. Pro-
fessor Nordenskjold, writing his winter ex-
perience in the Vega, when icebound on the
Siberian coast south Of Wrangell Land
says: The coldest winds came from south
west to west, that is from the Siberian
plain" Intelligence has been received re-
Gently from st. Petersburg, to the effect
that this winter in Tobolsk and in North
western Siberia has been the severest
known there for forty years, the Yenesei
and the Obi having frozen so early as to
cause much damage to shipping, and every
indication gives rise to serious apprehen-
sion as to the condition of things in the
Arctic. So it appears that great uncertainty
would attend any expedition for the relief
of the Jeanette. Even under the most fa-
vorable circumstances it would be full of
danger, and the hope OF rescuing the be-
leagured vessel and her crew of the slight
est substance.
