Extra Session of Congress.

A special from Washington to the New
York Herald of to-day says: 1t now Appeals
probable that General Harrison will. imme.
diatsly upon his induction into office, call
the members of the Fifty irst Congress to-
gether. His motive for this will be to ar
range some plan for the reduction of taxa
ton. There is no reasonable ground for The
belief that any concurrent action upon the
matter will be had at the session beginning
In December next. TO wait until the regC-
lar assembling of the Fifty first Congress,
which will be republican in both branches,
would be to postpone the subject until the
session was well under way. In other words
year and half from the present time
would necessarily elapse before tariff bill
acceptable to the administration could be
passed General Harrison's friends say he
will be unwilling to wait eighteen months
before moving in matter SO important, and
that the outlook therefore for an extra sea
sion is one which may be cassed among the
strongest probabilities OF the near future.

The Result.

NEW YORK, Nov. 9.-The Herald of to-
day says California aud West Virginia are
added 10 the republican column. General
Harrison will receive 239 electoral voter,
against l62 for President Cleveland. The
republicans claim majority in the Legsla-
ture of West Virginia, and if the claim
proves good republican will succeed United
States Senator Kenna, of that State, whose
term expires next March.
The Sun says the latest returns
from West Virginia, by which the republi.
cans gain three Congressman in that State,
undoubtedly give the House of Representa-
tives in the Fifty-frst Congress to the re
publicana and the indications are that their
majority in that body will not be less than
five. Three or four districts which are yet
in doubt may alightly increase this figure
The republicans have carried the Legisla-
lures 10 Delaware and West Virginia, which
will elect United States Senators to succeed
Salisbury and Kenna, democrats.
Corrected returns from New York State
make only trhing changes in the vote for
President and Governor. Harrson's plu-
relity in the State will stand at about IL,
000 Gov. Hills plurality will not vary
much either way from 10 600. Lieut.-Gov.
Jones and the rest of the democratic State
ticket are elected by about Hill's plurality.

A DISPATCH from Raleigh, N. c., says :;
"Y yesterday morning negroes burned the
house of the chairman OF the democratic
compittee. To day they broks into rail-
way warehouse aud took number OF dyna'
mite cartridges. The negroes are excited
by white men, and serious trouble Ia feared.
The military are in charge Of the city"
This is only a fair sample of the effect the
republican victory will have in the South,
unless the white men thereof let the negroes
plainly understand, and at once, that law
and order must be preserved. Ii the repnb-
lic4n threat TO reopen the Southern quesi ion
be put into execution, there will be no help,
and such outrages will be the rule, instead
of lhs exception, throughout the entire
limits Of the South.

FRIDAY EVENING. NOVEMBER 8.

WHILE NO body denies that the President
has made an honest chief magistrate, few
DENY that he can blame himself alone Tor
his defeat. 1t is very different, however,
10 another respect, with the vast ma
iority of the voters of his party:
They blame the men who nominated
him KNOWING, as they did, sthat he had
tprned his back on his party, and was not IN
accord with nine tentbs of its members.
There is hardly Senator or Representative
in Congress, or prominent democrat out
side oft, who, previous to the St. Louis
convention, had not prirete'y condemned
the P. esidept's policy, as Injurious to the
future success of their party; and yet anere
was not one single man in that convention
with moral courage enough to oppose MS
reorganization Should such men be the par
Tvs leaders in the future?
