TWELVE EXTRA SESSIONS
Of C'oneress Will if av Been Convened

I Wm Called in March, 1870. Tha
I 1'irst Held in 1797.
The last extra (issiuit of Congress was
convened on March IS, H7fl, over 14 years
ago. The one which will meet on August 7
will be the twelfth in the history of the Gov
ernment. It is impossible to determino
from the length of any of the previous ses
sions what the duration of the one now
lending will be. The day of extended ora
tory is not pased by any means, and while
the early polit cal fathers delighted to
lengthen debutes and sometimes extended
the sessions of Congress In order to indulge
their passion, the present generation of
statesmen is not much different. The mem
bership of both bodies is greater thun evet
before and thrre are more emulators of Clay
and Webster to till the Congressional record.
The first extra session of Congresa was
convened under a proclamation of Jii
dent John Adams on May . lT'.'T. the oc
casion being the suspension of ditilumanc
relations with France. Thomas JefTeison
found it necessary to call Congress infetfier
twice during his adminis'rHtion. The tir-t
was called on October 17,lfcj on account of
trouble over tha secession of lxiuisianit bv
Spain to France. 1 Ins session did not ad

awaiting policy rules. New York hanks
have received some money from Ihe inter

tire clearing house certificates, because they
are said to be weak spots which may yet re
rjtiire liberal extension of credits. Other
cities have drawn less from New York be
cause their business is restricted. Some
