Spectal Diapateh to The Chicago Tribune. Wasiisaroy, . D, C., March 8—There has been during the day o great deal of talk about an extrn session of the Forty-seventh Congress, but these foports are based elther on tho fears of tho Democrats that there will be one, or upon the wish of an interested lubby that there shall be. The Democrats aro very much opposed to an extra session, and they scem to care very little whother or not tha debt shall bo refunded, provided that they can retain the petty patronage of the two Ilouses of Congress, With- out an coxtrn session, of courso, thay will retain coutrol of the Lower Ilouse until December, and thoy are now proposing tv take advantage of the oppor- tunity afforded by the four Republican v~ cancles lf;thu Senate to rotain the patronngo of that bdy. Tho fears that thoy.will loso these petty spolls of oflice have given rise to the rumd¥s that an extra session Iy probable. . TR FUGAR LOBHY 1s very abtive in ndvocating the necessity of an extin sésslon, ns they desiro to have some bill passéd -which shall fix the status of the polariseopo In some legal way, and deter- mine thie compliented dutles by defit statute rather .than by changlng and changeablo Prensury.. regulutions, Diligent inquiry among those who ought to know the most obout tha subfect, howover, Including men- bers of the Cablnet, shows that thero Is no reasonable ground to appreliend that there wil be “an extra session,—that, on tho con- trary, the Indications all are that there will not be one, and that, If it fnally should be found necessary to call one, Congress wil not be convened before enrly fall. TIMZ HEASON FOI THE POSTPONEMENT on politienl grounds would be obvious. There are now, or shortly will be, four va- cancles In the next House, threo of which areon the Republican side—namely: Fer- nando Wood, Democrat, New Yorlk, and the vacancies created by tho electlon of Conger, of Michigan, nnd Frys, of Muing, to the Sen- ate, nud by the appolntment of Lovi P Mor- ton, of onw of the New York City districts, as Mlunister to France, 'The Republicans would hardly venture to convene the 1louse on so slender o majority as thoy, at best, have in it, without making it certain that at least these three vacancles shall ba filled by the Republicans. Some of Mr. Morton’s friends, indeed, say thnt 113 ACCEPTANCE OF THE FRENCIL MISSION, which has already been made, is conditioned upon the probabillty of the election of u Rtepublican to suceeed him in the llouse, and that, if it should seem probable that a Democrat would take his place, he, after all, might deeldo not to go to France, IN MICHIGAN, 100, it 1s sald that wnder n recont Inw slxty dnys’ notice of a speclal eleetien nrerequired, Tt is not learned that that notice has yet been glven, so that, It it should be hamedintely given, tho vacancy could not bo filled beforo tho nlddleof May, andno Administration that lius not lost Its senges would convene a new Congressin speclal sesslon at the bezinning of the torrid term In_ Washington® oxeept i the event of n greay Natlonal emergoncey. 1t 15 claimed that THE EMEROENCY EXISTS, owling to the fallure to pass the Funding bill. The vapulur imopresslon, however, that the ‘Freasury is now poworless to refund any of the redeemnkie bonds without furthor legis- Intlon {s erroncous, The Secrctary of the ‘I'ronsury, in ils annual report, stuted that, under existing Inws, which have not sines been repented or modified, ho lind authority to fssue, for the purposes of fund- g, an additlonnl $104,000,000 of 4 per cent bomds, ‘That authority exiats today, ‘Theso hundred and four millions would realize, nt tho presont prico of bonds, Bonte 8114,000,000, On'the basls of the prop- erty of the country of last year, and of the surplus revenue foy that poriod, tho Lreasury would slso have at 1ts disposal for uso for tho next liseal year $90,000,000 of surplus, be- sldes the Sinking ¥und, for which provision would have {n addition been mndo, Theso §00,000,000, added to tha mmount realized from the sale of the romaining 8104,000.000 of the 4 per cents would provide for the redemp. tlou of all tno outstanding 6 per cents which can be paid this your, the aggregate of which 13 201,000,000, s0 that, fwnll probability, the Treasury WITHOUT ANY EXTILA SESBION and without any new loglslation, can pay all the outstahding 6 per vents during the year, leaving only the 5s unprovided for, A few lines incorporated in the Sundry Civil Ap- propriation bill, which probably wero not undorstood st the thme by wany in either House, which were prepuredat tho Treusury A nncaus 1o usslst tho Treasury to uso lis surplus revenue for the pureliaso or redemp- tlon & bouds, will enable the ‘Lreasury to use any of Itg surplus revenue tor that pur- pose. These few lines nre known as TI: DAVARD AMENDMENT, which ls in these terms: ‘That the Sceretary of tho Tmnnur{ may at any tie apply tho surpius money in tho Trens- ury not otherwisy approprinted, or 0 much tharcof as he inay conslder proper, to the .pur- chuse or redemption of United Statos bonds, provided tho honds 8o purchased or redeemed shall conatitute no part of tho siukiug fund, but shall bo canceled, 1t perhaps 1s not generally known that hefore the adaption of this mmendment fo the Sundry Civil I the Secretary of the Treasury, no matter how much surplus niouey he might have, could not apply it to tha purchase or redemption of any bonds with regard to the payment of which the Govermment had an option. Of course, honds whicl mnatured and were payable ear- ried upon their face the anthorlty for tne I'reasury to redeem them, but the Seere- tary’s hands were tled as to the purchase of any other bonds, ‘This Bayard amendment will enable him to use tho surplus revenuo for that purpose. ONK INKASON 1N SUPPORT of thelr position given by those who advo- cato nealled session of the Forty-seventh Congress s, that o Funding bili should be passed as soon as possible, In order to re- duce the [nterest clinrge upon the public debt, The advoeates of an extra sesslon ar- gue that the failure nlone of a Demoeratic Congress to pass apracticable blll is suflicient reasun why o Republican Ilouse of Repre- sentatives should be convened as early as practicable for that purpose. They think, too, that the Demoernts may be able to mage _considerable political capital out of any failure by the Republicans to take vrompt action i regard to the matter, Sev- eral statements have been published to show what the amount of extra interest will be in case refunding shall be pogtponed until next winter. Assuming, what-is reasonable, that a postponement of lexislative nction until that time will involve the payment of higher rates of Interest for twelve months longer, THE AMOUNT OF EXTIA INTEREST which will be required to be paid is shown in the following statement, prepared in the Treasury Departinent to-day, in mnro to the request of 4 TRIBUNE correspondes Amount of per cents outstandiu. . 82003UL,55) Amount of 6 bor cents outatanding... 09760 5 ) Twelve months’ fntercst on 6 percel 2, 1155, Twelvo ioaths’ Intereston hpercents ZLiMGE Totul yoarly 1ULerest.cs e, oessennne GHO020N Intercst on same nmount at:3per cent 2,147,618 Intercst on same amountat 3% per cont.... e ZRAGH02 Faving of fnterost at 3 per A 15,4584 Baving of {nterest nt di3 per con 12,000,473 BUT TIE DIFFERENCE will be somewhat fess than that above indi- cated, because of the purchase of bonds to meet the requirements of the Sink- ing Fund, It s _cstimated that the amount required for that purpose from Mareh 1, 1851, to March 1, 1882, wllP be $43.445,620 The interest on that at 3 per cent for one year will amount to #L17318L Of course, the saving of Interest in this way will amount to Jess than that, because the pur- chuses of bonds on_ncconnt of the sinking fund will be wade from time to thne during the year, nud not alf at onee nt the beginning of the year, There may possibly be n still further saving of interest by purchases of Dbonds made out of the surplus money in the Treasury and canceled under tho nuthority of the Bayard amendment. It i3 mpossible o estimate what amount of Interest will thus be saved during the next twelve months, It Is perhaps fair to nssume, therefore, that THE EXTRA INTEREST to be pald on account of the fuilure to pass o Funding bill before next winter will be about 810,000,000 on_n 8¢ per cent basls, or S1:3,000,000 o1 1 3 per centbasls of refunding. There remain unsold $104,053,200 of 4 per cents which the Seeretary of the Trensury may sell and with the proceeds purchase re- deemnble 5 percantsor Gper conts, Whother hio will think it wise to do this muy be re- garded as very dountful, THE NATIONAL BANKS, “THE DESIRE TUETR MONEY BACK, Spectal Disvate (o The Chicago Tribune. Wasniyatox, 1), C., March 8.—~The first fmportant decision which Secretary Win- dom will have to make will be upon the ap- plication of the Natignal banks which depos- fted Inwful money to retire their circulation and thelr bonds durlug the recent flurry, to withdraw thelr Jawful money, and to have canceled thelr application for the retiroment of thelr elrculation “and the withdrawal of theirbonds. Thobarks, which have seen thelr mistake, now that the Funding bil falled {o become o) Inw, ‘are mmking des- perate cfforts 'to have the declsion ren- dered in thelr; favor, It is not so much n watters of expense, as, under the fourth section of the net of June 20, 1874, which is. not repeatad, they could tuke out new clre lation by tho doposit of bonds and the pay- ment of express charges of some 10 cents per $1,000 on the new circulation, but that would require thom to -deposit new bonds, which wonld love different numbers, and theso Londs would notba so valuable ns the ones they now hava on deposit, as, under the reg- ulations of the ‘Treasury, THE NEW TONDS which they would have to deposit would be subject to call the earllest, and, con- sequently, would mot be ns valnable ns the present numbers which they have. Secretary Sherman, Dbefore lenv- g the Treasury, deslred to have thoe United States Treasurer, who has the fumme- dinte control of tho matter, surrender the Iawful money that had been sdeposited nnd to conslder the proposition to retire the circula- tion as not having been made. United States Treasurer Glfillan” declined to do this, not- withstanding Secretary Sherman lad so re- quested, and insisted that 1t was a question that tho head of the Department should de- termine by an open declslon. ML GILFILLAN himself was opposed to auy such scton his purt. The lawful money hns beon deposited in accordance with the plaln requirements ot the statute, and the only lawful thing that he can o with this money Is to hold it for tha redemption of the National-hank notes when thoy shall come on, aud to surrender the bonds deposited ns security for that cireula- tion nt thoe proper time, THERE 18 NO PROVISION OF LAW which would suthorize him to mnke any other disposition of the money In hls judi- ment, The Controller of the Curreney, howaover, -whoso opinlon hns been nsked upon this subjeet, has s different view, and behteves that tho money should be re- turned to the volume of the currency, As- sistant -Secrotury Fronch has prepared o memornndum of facts to he presunted to the now Secretary, Mr, Windom, and Is under- 5t00d 10 ngreo to some extent with ‘Ireasurer Gilfillan fu his view, Afr, Windom took the papers homo with hlm to-uignt from the Prensury, and will decldo the questlonina day or two, perhnps to-morrow, It Is, of course, & matter of & gkeod deal of intevest to tho banks, SHALL THEY GKT OUT OF IT BCOT ¥REKY Tv (hs Western Ansoclated Press.
