The danger of a long session is that the demo- erats Will sti!l insist upon repealing t for which they have contende: y reason of which an extra session was rendered neces- sary.

They can, of course, pass the bill with the repeal clause o it, but itis even then belleved that the Presi- dent will veto the aes DIL having thls legislation attached. In turn, the demo- erats can say, “You have declined to sign the Dill as a separate proposition. You must either sign it in an appropriation bill, or we will stop the supplies.” It would not be, therefore, sur- prising if the session were many months. THE ORGANIZATION OF THE SENATE. Of course the organization of the Senate will be smooth enough. There is no presiding ofticer to elect, and the body can hold itsown and move along, even if it takes time to choose a Secretary and a See ae ae Senator Thurman will undoubtedly be elected President pro tempore. The committees will be early or- ganiz Even before the extra session became a fixed fact there had been quiet caucussing, at which this much was decided: that Senator ‘Thurman should be made chairman of the judi- clary committee and Mr.Bayard that of finance. It is believed that the chairmanship of the gE ncipal committees will be about as follows:— Elections, Mr. Saulsbury; foreign affairs, Mr. Eaton, of Connecticut; tinance, Mr. Bayard, of Delaware; appropriations, Mr. Beck, of Ken- tucky; commerce, Mr. Gordon, of Georgia; judi- ciary. Mr. Thurman; public lands, Mr. Mc- Donald, of Indiana; private land claims, Mr. Edmunds, of Vermont; pensions, Mr. Vooriiees, of Indiana; District of Columbia, Mr. Merrimon, of North Carolina; ratlrozds, Mr. Lamar of Mis. sissippl; printing, Mr. White, of Indiana.

MEETING OF THE SUB-COMMITTER. The sub-committee of Teller committee, con- sisting of Senators Hoar, Kirkwood, MeMillan, Wallace and Garland, held a meeting yester- day. Their business is to inquire into the Thur- man branch of the resolution under which the committee are acting, including the sudjects or supervisors of elections and assessments for litical purposes. As the President has issued his proclamation for an extra sassion of Con- gress on the Isth Inst., it was concluded that mie commitee could not proceed to business at this ume. On motion of Senator Wallace, it was re- solved that the attorney general ‘be requested to furnish to the committee a detailed state- ment of the numbsr of deputy marshals ap- pointed under the federal statutes by the mir- Shal of the United States in reference to the direction of elections in the several states dur- ing the past year—where employed, the names of such deputies, how much paid to ¢. the length of time each of sueh di employed, and the states and districts in which they were employed. ‘rhe committee adjourned to meet on the 19th of March, Concins vestigation.
