lore the Court of Appeals. LETT for his
lone in Franklin county yesterday. Mr.
Saunders said he could not understand
the position of Governor Tyler in post
poninG his call for the extra session of
the Legislature. He said that in his
judgment the body should be called to-
gether Immediately after the holidays.
SO that the convention might be elected
and get to work as early as possible.
He said the extra session would not
take up the question Of redistrtcting the
State. whatever might be the action of
Congress. as there would be no necessity
for hurry. and the extra session would
really not have the time to properly deal
with such an important matter. which
could very we'll go ever until the next
