STILL UNDECIDED, Bpectal Disvateh to The Chicago Tribune, Wasiixotoy, D, C., March 21~The ques- tion of an extra sesston sthil hungs In the bal- ance. Gentiemen who have talked with the Prestdent to-day again upon the subject say that he is undecided, and that he feels that tho responstbilities of the declslon are very great, At the Cabinet meeting to-morrow the matter will probably be determined, and it 18 possible that the public may be in some way advised as to the decision, notwithstund- ing 1t Is understood to be the pollcy of the Administration that the pro- ceedings of the Cabinet mcetings aro to bo regarded as State secrets, There are strony differences of opinfon amonz Republican Senutors und Representatives as to the proper policy, but there is no differ- ence of optnion among Democrats. Outsldle of anarrow circle of Demoeratic placemen who do not wish to have a catled “session, because, should Congress convene, n few Democratle clerks [n the House might cease ta denw saluries during the summer for doing nothing, . THE DEMOCKATIC.LEADENS aro united in favor ot nn extra session. They see in it un opportunity to prepare . polley upon which the next Congresslonal elections shall be conducted. Ex-Speaker Randall, who will be the leader of tho Opposition, is reported to have privately manifested o’ good deal of enthusl- usm over the possible prospect that there would bs an extra session. Hls argument i3 reported In substance te have been that an oxtra session may possibly result in dis- turbing business and in retarding the present prosperity of the country, Continued pros- pority means the perpetulty of Republican rutle, whito In bad thues the Democrats are more apt to b successful. Consequently, the Democratic hope lles fn an extra session, This, w sentiment, 1€ not In language, is stutecd to be the private apinion pf ex-Speaker Randall.” 1t certalnly Is the public opinfon of some Democrats hiere who generally are shrewd in making politleal forecasts. TUE ONLY ARGUMENTIN FAVOROF A CALLED BEYSION is the financial one, The sum which it Is ex- pected my; be saved by effecting n reduction of the Inerest on the public debt of n year orsix wonths even is tho basls of this argu- ment. ‘I'hose who favor an extrn session clalm that the Trensury, even by straining to tho utmost laws not intended to be used for present emergencles, cunnot meet elther class of the bonds, which become redeem- able this summer, without selllne thirty- year 4 per, cent bomls, nor cun it ever with such sales meet the bonds of both einsses. It Is doubttul whether it is desirable for the public Interest to lssue any more long-term 4 per cent bonds when the country s able to clear off its debt at the rate of 8100,000,000 & year, ‘They argue, turther, that, In view of the fact that more than 3200,000,000 of money has beon ab- sorbed in holdlis outside of the banks and the Treasury shico resumptlon, thero is need of such legisintion as may lnvite the Invest- ment of these savings ju public funds. THEY WAk that by clling out this 1dlo capital an equal amount now invested In Government bonds by larger holders will bd dislodged, and those persons of lurger moans witk be pushed to employ thelr monoy In the support of pro- ductive Industry, The publie benefit to be gulned by u speedy relesse of tho miltlons now locked up in small hoards all over the country would be incatculahle, ‘The effect wouldbo felt in every brunch of trade and industry, Great good may bo walned i tho work of refunding Is undurtaken in the prasent fuvorable condition of the world’s money markets. There s strong prospeet that the situation in that respect will be changed before noxt year, Shrewd observers throughout the counuerclal world belleve that a porlud_of higher rates of fntorest ls approuching, 11 the opvortunity now otfered should not be embruced, the loss to the coun- try may be several willfons yearly for twen- Ly or thirty years, g BUT THIS ARGUMENT I8 ANSWERED by those who huve glven a good deal of care- ful attention to the subject by a denial of the premises, They® say that, de- ducting the bonds purchnsed slnes March 1 on nccount ot thy Shiking Fund, the amount of 6 percent botds nuw outstand- ing i3 §190,300,550, and of 5 per ecut bonds $463,0600,850, Slx months' Interest on thuss two amounts at 6 and 5 per cend par annuin respectively would by over §17,000,000, Sonie udvocates of an extrn sesslon lave er- ronuously ussuined that that sum represents the loss the Treasury will sustuln by a fall- ure to refund. ‘I'his {s not only an vrroticous but an unfair statement, It the Itefundiog bl of the last sosslon had recelved Ex- ecutive approval, : THE ENTIRE ::Lt\;‘mu. i W t possible to refun 6 aggregate of m%r:x}\l\mm: bonds in six monlh‘s,‘ wg::hl ba 8 per csiit ol unw of the twu Amounts of bonded debt above stated and 2 per cont on the other, which would aggregute $7,584104, and this sum nmPurly ropresents thy pecus niury loss that will be sustained by the fall- ursto sofund at § per cent, Assiming the entirn debt to be refunded on July i, how uch coutd be refunded before Jai. 1, 1833, at$ por cent caunot be approxtmated with any degree of aceuracy, but, it unc-half of 19 80000000 ‘coutd Bb M aleposed of, the netual saving would be only onc-half of tho amoitnt above stated. BENATOR FIVE to-night sald: “Some time ago 1 wag in fuvor of au extra sesslon of Congress, Now T am rather disposed to oppose 1t 1€ it wers luft to me to ddcelde, I should hardly know whih course would be best. If thera coulid be an extra sesslon Insting not more than & month, and if @ Funding bill could be passed in that time, it would be a good thing, and no harm to businesy could result, 5!1& 1 very much doubt whother that could he expected, It an extrn session should be called amd a Funding bl should e brought logp the Iouse, Randall and Carllsle would "use tho caucus to make the Dentoerats oppose 1L solldly, unless the pro- vislons of the filth section of the vetoud Funding bilt were Included in it. ‘There would be a long discusston, und I am afraid that, ut the end of it, u number of THE WESTERN BEPUBLICANS wonld vota with the Dentoerats for the anti- bank feature of the bill. ‘Then I shunld ex- pect to see offorts to provake & dlsenssion of il questions. Besides, should the Republicans attempt to _ authorlze in- vestigationy _of ‘the Southern elee- tlons, the Democrats would probably resort to tacties of obstruction, and no vne coull foretell when the session might end, for the Republleans huve so small a majority in the Hnuse that It would be practicatly Im- possible for them to keep a quornm of thelr own members in Washington for any great length of thine, So far as the party necessity for un extra session on aceount of refunding Is concerned, we onight to take into eonsld- eration the fact that the Greenbackers nll are ou record ns t OPPOSED TO REFUNDING AT ALL. ‘Therefore, their mouths would be stopped wgainst crlticlsing the Republieans for tall- ing to do what they themselves decinre they are _opposed to. As for the Demoerats, T don't think it makes any difference, whnt- ever they may say. 1 understand that Sena- tor Shermanis Inclined to favor an extra session,” CONTROLLER KNOX i3 very outspoken in.his opposition to an ex- tra session of Congress, 1le expresses tho fear that If Congress should take “P a re- fumlmr measure now there would be dan- t:ur of legislution unfavorable to the Natlonal hanks, while, if the subject should be post- poned untll nexe winrer, such o donger would not then exist, 2 ANOTHER DISPATCIL To the Western Assoclated Press, WasuixeroN, D, C., March 21,.~A Dem- ocratic Senntor asked the Iresident to-day it there would he an extra session of Congress. The President did not answer positively, but the Senntor says he inthmated - In Ianguage rot to be mistaken that an extra session witl becalled, The President also gave Sunset Cox to understand that the calling of an extra sesslon had been determined upon. ‘The Re- publican Senators all aureed to-day thatu ses- slon will be ealled, and soveral of” thewm said n proclamation will be issued next Wednes- day. ‘The best informed sny Congress will be'convened in May, so as to give time for suficlulcleclhms to_fill vacaneles in Maine ot New York, Mr. Morton, it is under- Il not ro to France until after the of Congress meets. This would filled 1n New York. A report has renched the Democraticleaders that Comell would not call an election this spring, thus preventing the election of a Democrat in Wood's place. The Democrats have conununieated *with Gov. Plaisted, of Malne, and it 1s reported he has assured them that he will not order an election to fill Frye's place untll one Is or- dered In New York to fill Wood's. T0 BE BETTLED TO-MORIIOW, 1t can be stated officlally that the President has not definitly determined whether or*not tocall an extrn session of *Congress, The matter, in all prohabllity, will be’ settibd In to-morrow’s Cabinet meeting. 4 THE 80UTH, REPUBLICANS WILL HAVE A CHANCE. Hpectal-Dispateh to The Chicago Tribune, WasuingToy, D, C, March 2L—It the statements of leading Southern Republieans now In this city are correct, there ure few nctive, reputnble men of their party in oftice in the South. As an example of how tho appointments were wagde under resident Ilayes' Admintstration, a Mississipplan who ran for Congress Inst fall and was_counted nnd cheated ontof o legitimate majority of 1,000 says that In the fitteen counties of his district, there are only five Itepublican Iost- masters, , At the county-seat tuwns, when he camo Yo send out his tickets beforo the Inte election hie had to send speclal messen- gers with them to ten counties, beeause he knew that the Postmasters would destroy them [ heput them In the mails, The ap- polutiment of JUDGE JUNT to the Cablnet Is taken by Southern Repub- lleans ns an earnest of what the President means to do in their seetion, There is a be- 1lef on all hands that the Southiern uppoint- ments will bo made to forward the states- wan-like object of helping brenk up the in- tolerant one-party system by strengthening the Republicun organization and ralsing the somewhat fow level of its leadership in the South, ‘There will bo no search among the tombs for old Whigs, and no cifort to con- vort Democrats In s day by the fiat of ofticial saluries. DEMOCTIATIC SENATORS will no longer bo able to dispose of the pat- ronngu of thelr States on the plea that thero nre no honest, competent Republicaus to hold the places, Whatever inay be sald In defense of the course Mr. Hayes pursued In Southern appolntments, atl will aduiit now that It was o part of an epoch which has gone v, Perhaps Mr, Hayes himself would not contline It 1€ still in the White House, Cer- tuinly Gon.
