Votlug with the Democrats, the Senate may be a tle; voting with the Republicans, the supporters of tho new Admiulstration will have a working may jority, They may still have Jt lf Senatar3ta- hone, of Virginio, acts with them; "but that eun hardly bo looked for. ‘There Is sony “ chance of the clection of a Republican Sena. tur in ‘Tennessee. But ‘in any cnse Judge Davis’ vote will nhuust avery day decide the questley os e—leaving that . Ea) duty to the Vice-Presitent. For the first half of his politlead Ife, Judge Davis was a Whig of anti-slavery proclivities; for the next third of his politica! life ho was a Republican, but of conservatlye sentiments; for two or threa years he was “independent” between tho areat parties, and during the Inst year he has somewhat leaned toward the Democracy, How he stants since the election we have not heard; he fs believer, howeves, to feel quite friendly townrds Gen. Garileld, and to esteem hime very Iiehly, althe tt fs satd that he voted for Hancock. ‘Tho Judge never was eutont for much of a partisan--his turn of mind being tov Judicial for that; he sees good nnd bed setions in both parties, aud estimates them according}, Tur Globe and Matt of Toronto ianturally take opposit ylews of the policy of the Canadian Government gvith reference ta tho new Pacific Raflway Syndicate, The Globe belleves that the Lake Supertor sectlon, for whict $12,000,000 and 12,000,000 neres of land, or nearly one-half the whole subsidy, have been allotted, ean be dispensed with for years tocome; and that Quebee and Ontario can have connections with the new system of ronds through the United States without detriment to the Interests of elfher country. The Malt, on tho other hand, insists upon tho completion of the whole work at once, on the ground that 1 vigorous national policy demands-an unbroken highway from tide- water to tidewater, The subsidies for the ditferent sections are as follows?

THE PROSPECIS FOR AN EXTRA SESSION. A tople which commands considerable at- tentlon at the National Capital ts the possible extra session of the new Congress which any follow the short closing session uf tho present Congress. (The present Congress In- augurated nn Inglorious career with an ex- tra session which was rendered neccssury by premeditated Inpses fn tho legislation re- quired fortho running of the Government, But partisan polities and reactionary meas- ures took the place of National law-making, ‘There, 19 a pratseworthy desire on tho part of many Republicans to offset the Dem- ocratle failure of tho Forty-sixth Congress with a Republican sucess in tho Forty: seventh Congress. It would unduubtedly bo better for the country if tho Jaw required the opening of tho new Congress contemporane- ously with the Incoming of the new Admin- istration, In the abseues of such legal re- qirements inany obstacles will be ralsed to prevent an extra session noxt March, ‘Tho Democrats will be averse to an extra session, and though it Is not expected they wil have much influence with the next Administration, they may do much > to avert any necessity for calling to- gether the “new Congress by provid- ing tho legislation that inay be actually demanded for Government purposes, The chlef objection to an extra session among Democrats 1s based upon the fact that a post- ponement-of the organization of the new Congress will leave a considerable patronnge In their hands, ‘fho present Demoeratte of- fleers and employés of Congress would go on drawing their pay durlug several months, whereas they would lose thelr pinces by an organization of the new Congress limmediate- ly following the close of the regular session, OMece Is the Inst thing that Democrats are willlng to abandon. ‘This consideration may induce the Democratic managers to yleld points at the coming session and: agree to legislation which thoy would other- wise contest. Ifnll the appropriation bills be passed, and a satisfactory Refunding blll bo adopted, it witl be contended with a godd deal of force that no emergencies exist re- quiring nn extrasession. On the Republican aldo thero aro several reasons for desiring an extra session outgite of the repossession of the patronage belonging to Congress. It is now conceded'that the Republicans will have n clear majority of not less than fourteen in tho new House, ‘The shrewder pollticians will want to guard against secldents by electing thar Spenker at onea and Insuring thelr controlof Congress, Jt will be argued on this sido that death and defection may possl- bly wenken tho Republican strength if the organization of the new House bo postponed till the following December, It will be feared that the genoral policy or somo particular nets of tho new Adufntstration may create dissatisfaction ameng the Gyeenbackers and Independents who ar sow. counted on to vote with the Republicans ia tho matter of organization, It will bo urged with trath that the country demands certaln fn- portant legislation ‘which the present Congress has thus far neglected, and which it will undoubtedly omit to mss this winter, Itis fulr to presume that the Tresident-eleet will carefully consider what the lending men a Congress will: sug- gestin thismatter, Ie will not show thesame disregard of Congressional counsel which duns Deon characteristic of Mr. Iayes’ Ad- ininistration, Garfield has been # mem- ber of Congress coutinuously during nearly elghteen years, snd his assoclittens have given hina high consideration for what lias been called “Congresslonut interference” with affairs of the Administration, Hoe will be Inclined -to defer to any preponder- ating sentiment on tha Republican sido In favor of an extra seaslon, It is ‘not yet certain that this course will be urged upon him, but there are circumstances whieh render it probable. All Jocal influences will be favorable ta it, because Washington with out Congress 1s 0 dreary and profitless place, and tho country at Inrge will not object if there be 5 fatr promise of needed Jeglva- tion, which the Democrats have neglected during thelr two years of Congressloyal supremacy, If there were to bea clear and trustworthy Republican majority in- the two Houses of the noxt Congress, the necessity for additional legisiation to In- sure thy enforcement of the Consti- tutlonal Amendments and the United States lnw In States formerly in re bellion, and to promote freo elections and a fulr count everywhere, would ben suficlent and tluely purpose for an extra session. ‘The present outlouk, however, Is that the Senate can only be contfolled by the Repub- Heans at best trough the casthiy vote of the ViewPrestlent, und tegistation designed to correct vicetlon abuses In the South ni be Juposstbly of uchleyement, Bub there Is another way In which the same end may possibly ho attalned and also arouse public concern fy thts phase of American polities to a degres that mere projects of legishation will not exelte. The President's vower to convene an extra session fs only Imited by the constitutional proyiston “that ho may, on extraordinary occasions, convend both Houses, or either of them.” Ifthe new President were to frame a proctamation stunt imontng Congress to meet In extra session on the ground that conspleuous and disgraceful frauils tad been committed in the Into elec tion In certain portions of tho country, and for tho purpose of affording an opportunity to Congress to purge itself of the members claiming seats on on negns tion of the popular will in thelr districts, he would) make 1 special session necessary. No other treatment of the ense would arrest public attention of completely. ‘fhe now House, which 1s the solv Judge of {ts own membership, would then have the opportunity to proceed atonca to send back frandutently-clected members to thetr constituencies, instead of dragging out stich eases through two years, and thus condoning the frands by delay and tndiffer- ence. It would be a notles to Southorn comuunities that they could persist In their bulldozing, thelr ballot-box stufling, and counting-ont, but they could not be repre- sented In Congress on that basis, This plan might provers effective n remedy for South- ern fraud as any nety strugele for additional legisiation to protect the electoral rights of citizens, It would certainly be a novel and striking procedure for the President to con- ven im extra session of Congress on that basis, anit would give to the Southern clec- tion practlees an tmportanca which they ought to have in the publle mind til they shall haye been reformed altogether, MONEY AND BUSINESS. Late official and commercial reports throw a good dtal of Hebt on tho conditions alfect- ing busiiess:and the money market, Both tho Bank of England and the Bank of France are shown, by their usual weekly reports, enbled yesterday to this country, to have again lost heavily of specie during the past. week. Five millions of dollars lias been taken out of the specte-reserves of tho Bank of England, now reduced to $120,600,000; and the Bank of France has parted with §2,000,- 000,—leaving It coln-reserve of only $110,- 000,000, Now York ts counting on the arrival of $12,000,000 of snecle, which Is known to be atloat for that port. 'This golden stream, while it contintes, will keep the moncy and stock markets of this country ina similar stato of exhilara- tion {o that produced in Germany by the French indenmity, But indleations are to be seen which point to a steady diminution of this irrigating flood, and posalbly to its be- ing turned the other way, A report Just Is- sued by Mr, Nimmo, Chief of the Burean of Statistles, states that the excess of this coun- try’s exports of merchandise over Imports of merchandise was but $155,572,153 for the twelve months cnded Oct. 381, 1880, aninst §269,257,183 for tho . twelvo months ended Oct. St, 1879, In other words, while tho exports “from all ports Increased during those twelve months from $742,500,564 In 1870 to $807,041,297 In 1880, the imports, rolling up much more rapidly, havo gone from £470,203,133 to $712,269,071, At that rate of Inerense, It will not take the imports much more than a year to outstrip the exports. Forefgn papers note a growing Atmerlean demand for Enropean luxuries, 'The bullion movement this way shows an tn- crease, . In the twetve months ended Oct. 31, we lmported in excess of exports $67,314,891 this year, ag agalnst $45,703,313 last year. Putting specte and merchundise together, the total exeess of exports over imports for tho twelve months fs but $88,357,335 for the year endl with Oct. 31 Ingt, aguinst a total of $025,400,739 In the preceding year. i No exaggerated importance should be given to tho fact that lnportations are swell- Sng in volume more raphily than the exports, But past experience proves too rapid an necoleration of purchases abrond to be an unerring danger-shnal of specuiation and extravagance at home; and those who want to know the true finnneial bearings of this country will do well to serufinizo, closely Its forelgn-trado returns. Our present position asa heavy importer of gold tg nota natural one, This country In ordinary tines fs seller of Its bullion-pradhet abroad. Euro- pean bankers begin to look with disgust upon the steady outflow of their specio tothis country. Nosteps have been taken by them to check if, as it usually arrests Itself about the end of November. But, if ft continue, there will withont doubt be some action by European financiers to anva the rest of thelr gold, or as much of Itas thoy can, 7 In the London money ‘market, as hore, there are to be felt the first pulsations of n ore active demand for’ money, Rates are rising legitimately, though exaggerated In New York by speculative manipulation, Present Indications point decidedly to the prospect that there will not agaln for many years be tho surplus of money for Inyestinont In high-priced securities thut thore has been during the past two or three. years, Indus try Ig taking one of Its perlodio starts forward all over tho world; and mill- long upon millions of dollars, and pounds, and franes that have been thmorously seeking refuge In Government bonds and giltedga securities will go forth into the world of business, islug prices of realestnte show that the capital market Js passing through a transition, People are looking for something better than 3} per cent, Vast profits are contingent ypon these enleulations of the future of the monoy mar- Ket. Above every other finauclal project for tho couing year looms the refunding ot tho United States bonds due or payable in 1851, amounting to Mnenrly $700,000,000, None of these are absolutely due except the In- considerable Oregon war debt of 1661, amounting to $711,800, Our+ per cents aro selling at n price which nets tho investor Jess than Sf per cent {nforest. It will make a differenco of nany willions of dollars a year to tho taxpayers of this country ff the 5 and 6 per cont bonds are refunded tnto Biya or 43, orare left to run at thelr present rates of In- terest. “ho rato at whieh they can be re funded wil depend upon the money market; and it does not seem hazardous to predict that Investors will not take, In a time of renewed enterpriso and moro actlyo demand for their capital, a security that ylelds less than thoy recolved from thelr Governments when these werd the refugo tor thelr {dle money, November's debt statement, Just published, gives a reduction of $3,000,201 luv the debt during the month, and of $37,201,128 In the past six montha, A re- funding polipy that would leave tho Govern: ment {reo to apply Its gurplus revenues, as heretofore, to the extinetion of the debt, would be of grent assistancago the financiers who have undertaken to float huge railroad Joana, like the Northern Pacific, as it would turn capital fron Governments lute other In- yeatinonts, Controller. Knox's statement of Dec, 1 shows an Increase of Natlonal-bank currency during tho year of $3,010,018, Iv is fact, notwithstanding the toud complaints of. the banks about the tax on circulation, that, at the present prices of 4 por cents, capital in- vested In circutation pays, by a slight per centage, a better profit than capltal tn or dlnary loans, Ifthe Government places. a large number of new low-rate bonds next year on tho market, one effect will no doubt bea large inerease in the National-bank note elreutation, which is now larger than tt has. been for several years. It !s now $13,8H,- 107, and was $323,701,074 In 1870, Better rales for loans, an urgent denand from tho in- terlor for currency, and n3i¢ per cent bond at par would give all the conditions for an Antlation of Nattonal-bank clreulation that would add materially to tho already enor mous volumo of our currency, A NEW ELECTORAL EXPERIMENT IN FRANOE. Among the new bills which have been pre- sented to the French Pariinnent Is ono whieh contemplates a radical change in the method of electing tho members of the Cham- bers, Tho present system, called tho serutin Warrondtagement, iy not Usatiaitar to our method of electing Congressmen, It divides France into 862 election districts, each send- ing one Deputy, and an additional Deputy, If its population excecds 100,000, for each 100,- 000 or fraction thereof, ‘Lhe new bill pro poses n system, styled the acrutin de liste, by which the department, Instead of the arron- dlssament or district, becomes the unit of representation. ‘here are elghty-seven of these departitents in France, ant tho Iaw allows one Deputy for every 70,000 people, nul one additional for every 85,000 exceeding that number, whieh would make the total number of Deputies about the sane as at present. ‘The metho of voting, however, will bo-radically changed, as each elector, instead of voting for the candidate from his district, as we do in this country, will, vote for as mnny candidates aghis department may be entitied to Jn the Chamber, whieh In some departments would be ng high as thirty-four, A falr illustra tion of the method would be to suppose tho State of ltinolg to be divided into two de- partments Instend of nineteen districts, each elector: voting fn ‘one department for ten Congressinen, and In tho ather for nine. It is stated that the majority of the Re- publicans In France favor the scrutin dc lsle and they offer various reasons, among then the following: 1. ‘Tat It would divide the voters into great polltical masses, voting for Ideas rather than for persons, and that local representatives would give way to national reprastntattves, the exponents of broad na- tlonal questions rather than.of narrow local Issues, 8 That it will tend to eduente the voter, and emanelpate the Deputies from the personal obligations which now cramp thont. 3. ‘Lhatunder the new system the Chamber will be national fn its character, and that Its legislation will bo correspondingly na- tlonal and the Influcnea of the Repud- Nean party can be brought more evenly to bear upon the whole country, and thus it can nyore easily contend with tho monarchical elements, which are massed in certaln locall- ties. ‘These may be advantages, but itis questionable whetuer thoy are not more than ‘olfsot by the disadvantiges, if not possible evils, that must iow frum such a system, The French Republicans have shown themselves possessed of 2 large degree of courage, intel- ligence, and good sense in admiulstering their public affairs, but it wil! hardly be claimed that thoy haye the intelligence or the exporience In malntatnings Republic that our own people have, nor have they been ex- posed to stich fearful tests. It ts certain that such nsyatem would not work in our own country, If cach elector had tho priy- lege of voting for twenty Congressinen In- stead of one, itis pretty certain’ that there would bo twenty times ag much ecorrup- tion ag fhero is now, and that. the caucus which nominated the twenty candidates would equal tho , sceno atthe ‘Tower of Babel for confusion. ‘The elector now has some partin the selection of candidates, but that he would liaye any yolcoin tho naming of all tho eandidates from his department would be us inaul- festly impossible ng it would bo for htin to have any Intelligent {dea of nineteen of the eandidates for whom he was voting, unless they should come from ils partleular tocality. Such a system would open the door wide to confusion and corruption in our own coun- try, ant {f thls were the ensoin a Republic so wall grounded agours, what would it prove in Franee, whera the republican form of government has hardly yet advanced beyond the atago of oxperiinent? —— eee THE PACIFIC RAILROAD ANACONDA, ‘Tho publication of Judgo Jero Black's ar- gument upon tho legal status of railway cor- porationg and railway property (which ap- peared In yesterday's TrimuNe) cannot fail to attract the attention of the whole Amort- can people; nor should 1t fail to command the action of Congress ityon the grent inter- ests involved and the outrages and abuses per- petrated by thesccorporalions, Judge Black Jnys down certain fundamental propositions which railroad corporations may find they fre not at liberty to disregard, Some of those may be thus stated: 1. Railroad corporations have certain vested rights which ara sacred, but ratlroads are not the property of the companies who runthem, to do with as they please. 2, In every cage the ratlrond belongs te the State, and all tho people have aright to uso {t, Corporations huye no proprictary title to tho ronds, but 8 mero franchise oxercisable thereon, i 8, Rallroad corporations ara tho ngents of the Stato for the performance of a public duty; and the Stato in any of a variety of contingencles may take the rond, operate It, or employ anew agent. The company can no more retain tho road than collector of customs golng out of offico can appropriate to hiinself tho custom-house In which he had performed his official work, Applying these principles, Judge Black, following the Supreme Court decisions in the Granger cises, uses this language: The two sompanios botwoon Omaha and San Franclago ralsod in cash out of Government ‘bonds, linda, and mine tise of tholr franchises four or tye thnes ag much na thoy necussurily expanse upon tho ronda, Tho atockholiers, without paylog anything, put tho enormeug surplus into their pocketa, These roads, thus built at the public expense, and in sume cases pald for by tho public five tines over, ure how claimed ag tho private proporty of the conipa- nies, und tha right of tho public to use them ux highways la utterly denied.
