NO EXTRA SESSION.
Nrw YoRK. March 26tb.-A Washington
IL. MI
night saws; President Garfield has completed
one of the best framed documents of his life.
It is against an extra session, showing that
besides being unwise. it was absolutely un-
necessary. HIS argued against it from all
points so far urged, stating that from politi-
cal view il would be unfortunate for the Re-
publican party. He calculated that Congress
would be in session until July, and that then
they would end in passing, too late for any
service, substantially the same bill that ex-
President Hayes vetoed. In putting this
into practical effect he thought there would
be difficulties to be encountered, such as the
fact that then the farmers crops and other
produce would bring lower prices; besides,
his idea was that there was not necessity to
keep the country agitated over the funding
bill, because there was no necessity for one.
We had S104 900, 600 in bonds to sell, either OF
+ OF AIS, whichever would fit the market
best at the time, and with the surplus reve-
nues could not only redeem all the 6s, but
some IS. and still keep the 5s under control
till Congress meets in December, and as long
afterward as is necessary. This is feeble
epitome of that remarkable document, but
gives an idea of it's strong and impassionate
intent. 1t was deadly poison to any idea OF
an extra session of Congress, and it con-
tanned good deal of political expression as

SENATE PROCEEDINGS.
WASHINGTON, March 26th -On as ;emblipg
this morning, fiibusteriug continued.
Malone is at present voting with the Re-
puhlicans in caucus.
This morning the Republicans had deter
mined to stand firm as long as necessary to
attain recess, but TO adjourn early this at
ternoon TO perfect arrangements for the re-
newal of the struggle Monday without inter-
mission.
Logan cited fifty-three precedents to show
reasons for the present change OF Senate
officers.
Farley replied that at this very session a
minority of the Senate had for two weeks
filibustered against nominations OF the Sen
ate committees by the majority.
Morrill, read from a speech made two years
ago bv the Nestor on the Democratic side
tSaulsbury) at time when the change Of
officers was proposed, advising the Repubh
cans to reconcile themselves to their position
as . minority, and like Christian gentlemen
bear it manfully.
Butler retorted by quoting from a speech
made at the same time by the Nestor of the
Republican side (Anthonyl, in which he
stated he did not think he would ever be
found advocating the removal OF otlcers VINO
had performed their duties faithfully and
efficiently.
Call opposed the resolution.
A motion to go into executive session was
defeated-ayes 20, noes y.
Beck referred to the statement made yes
terday by Dawes, that he supported Riddle
berger because be belonged to body OF men
who opposed that party which had It's heel
on the neck of the black man in Virginia,
and desired to call that Senator's attention to
n scsne which had taken place in the Vir-
ginia Legislature. Mr.. Morse, colored man,
who probably could neither read nor write,
and who, therefore, would not be entitled to
vote in Massachusetts,, had arisen and made
rather a rambling speech, in which he advo-
Gated the payment of the State debt, and
had then yielded to Riddleber2er. That gen.
tleman thereupoa had offered resolution to
expel Morse, which was rejected. The man
who had sought TO expel an ignorant but
honest colored man was the man who was
now ehampioned by the Senator from Massa-
chusetts (Dawes|.
Groome-Does it appear whether Riddle
berger proposed to expel him because he was
in favor of paying the debt?
Beck-POor man; l suppose he took
double chance on him. Laughter.
A motion to 60 into executive session hav-
ing been defeated, Malone took the floor to
address the Senate. This reused that body,
which had been very dull all day. into some
thing like attention. He was unfortunate,
he said, in having been absent from the
Senate Yesterday when some illusions had
been made to Riddieberyer and himself. be
had been indisposed. and was still too unwsh
to review the speech.
Dawes interrupted, and said if the gentle
man would prefer to speak on Monday he
would move to adjourn.
The motion was agreed to, and tie Senate
adjourned
