March 10,—There Is very much less talk of an extrasessionte~lay than there was yesterday, and there are some Indications that the reports that the Admin- istration was contemplating calling an extra session were put out by persons interested to know what public’opinion would be upon the subject. ‘The responses have not been favorable, ns there Isa very gencral expres- ston of opinion against a called session. While something might be zalned by vasaing anew Funding bill, the generat impression is that more politically would be lost, To-lny some of those who have beon the most persistent in declaring that an extrasession was certain acknowledge that it is now improbable. The Cabinet offt- eers who have been quoted as favoring a called session deny that they have been cor- reetly reported. Tho decision of the Repub- Nean Senators with respect to thelr course in the matter of the organization of the Senate {s not In entire harmony with the theory that thoy believe nny session of the present Con- gress will bo held before winter. ‘The Re- publicans have decided to resist . THE ORGANIZATION OF TItt SENATE by all parlinmentary expedicnts short of fill- bustoring, nutil the vacancies can be filled. ‘They will jusist pon the ‘necessary number of votes for each Committee, and will debate the propositions at some length; but, if it shall appear that the Democrats are deter- mined té-force the matter by night sessions and the like, the Republicans will not make a mere factions opposition. ‘They are yery confident of thelr ability to organize tho Senate as soon as the vacancies can be tilled. Stil, there is a very wide difference of epin- fon regarding the policy of an extra session. Southern Republicans, without, ‘perhaps, a -singlo exception, are In favor ot It, and most of them belleve that one will be called, The local influences of Washing- ton all favor It; for obvious reasons, THY GREAT ARMY OF OFFICESEEKERS advocate it because they believe it will im- prove their prospects. Tenving out all these, one stilt inds many Republicans wiio think it would be a wiso polley for the President to call an extra session, and a fair proportion of these express the opinion that he will do so. Salda New England Representative to Tur Tiupune correspondent this evening: “1f we wait until December hefore we organ- ize the Committee on Elections the chances are twenty to one that nothing will be done within a year after we meet in regard to the contested seats from Southorn districts, in which, wo havo every reason to belleve, cer- tificates have been given to men who wera not {nirly elected. Before these cases are settled at all another elvction for Congress- men will bo held, and the ola game of fraud, and Intimidation, and false counting will again be successfully played by the Southern Democrats. I beliwye, therefore, that, on accountof our promises to the country In behalf of a free election and a falr count, if for no other reason, an oxtra session ought tg’ be culled, and Tain Inclined to think it vat be, although L do not believe ft has yet been decided upon by President Garfield.” «© ON THE OTHER UAND, " many Republicans whose opinions are en- Utled to great welght say that, while willing to admit tho probability of an oxtra sessfon, they do not belleve that it would be geod policy tocall’pne. The main reason given by all of thom Js that an extra session would unsettle business, and thus cause to the country a gteater loss than would bo tho ten iillions of extra Interest to be pald on aceou, t of the postponement of refunding until next winter, ‘he vacancies Inthe House nre an iniportant element to be considered fn connection with the calling of an extra session. ‘Phe special elections to choose a Representative to succeed Senator Hawley, from Connectivit, Senator Mitehall, o¢ Pennsylvania, Senator Conger, of Aflebl with, and Minister Morton, of New York, could be called and the elections held by the iniddle of April, Butthe Governorof Maine {s- n Democratic Greonbacker, and he might not ehvose to hurry himself in’ issulug the of election far A successor to Frye.
