THE 'EXTRA SESATE SESSlOX. SEW PRESIDENTIAL DEPARTURE. OFFICE SEEKERS SCOTCHED. the I'RESIDEXT NOT AT HOME. From our regular correspondent.

Washington, Oct. 8, 1SS1. In pursuance of the call fur an extra session, senators have nearly all arrived, and each party is in caucus today to agree or disagree on a programme of organization. I will not attempt to predict what will be the out-come of the special election for which the extra session was called, for fear the wires may prove me a false prophet before this is put in type. But, beneath the enforced calmness which both parties feel is befitting this "sad crisis, smoulders much excitement.

In electing a president of the senate, it is realized that a possible president of the United States will be made. It is idle to say that such a thing is not probable. The tragic occurences ol the last three months have educated people to anticipate tho improbable. If there shall be a long and bitter fight over this usually uuhonored office, it will be because senators realize that hut one life stands between it aud such power as few sovereigns sway. If a Democrat shall be elected, then, it is possible that, without the din and turmoil of a presidential election, but by the extinction of a frail human life, the political administration of the country may be changed.

The situatiou is generally and particularly interesting in Washington. The President has returned to the Jones Mansion, but is inaccessable to the ordinary politician and office seek Tcffo ILiOta cf HATS, us! ap mm -AKD- NOTIONS, Sold at Astonishingly Low Figures.

W. F. Iliatt on the evening of September T. 1 Milestones lie along life's way, Passed unheeded every day And our hearts though sad or gay Still beat on with no delay. i Hastening to the river, Where the boatman waiteth still, This cemmissiom to fulfill.

Watching for the good or ill In his task ne'er passing till AH find the great forevei." Just fifteen years ago to-day Two young people, so they say, Were walkling on a quiet shore Just where a million walked before And passed a common greeting. Converging into one bread street Where two Ways met they chanced to meet And seeing other pairs of feet Went in unison complete And lime with them so fleeting. Vras biding them make no delay The dial shadows miht not stay And ne'er again they'passed that way They would they never more would stray In separate paths, no, never! For better or for worse they said, Lifes bright or cloudy way to tread By the good Shepherd onward led Till all thine earthly days had fled And death alone should sever, That Milestone planted years agone We through the vista gaze Thro mist and shadows it has shown Amid liies scenes it stands alone Of hopes and fears reminding. Another shaft time lifts to-day Fifteen years have gone for The dial shadows, may not stay, Then let this milestone briefly say, The river you are nering. So let the seeds of kindness Be scattered thick and far, Lifes' golden opportunities Wi 1 soon be wholly past.

You may not see the twenty-fifth Altho for this we pray, Long life with all its blessings, And God to lead the way, Kind friends are here to greet you, The gifts we bring accept, We pray that we may meet you Where Gods' bests, gifts are kept. In your issuo of last week your cor respondent W. says in his account of thovery enjoyable celebration of the anniversary of the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Hiatt that we are to have a real wedding soon; it occured on the evening of the 20th, at the residence of the bride's.

The principal parties in the contract were Hannah Elk, one of our Bourbon county school teachers, and Mr. Charles Millingtou, formerly of Crawford county, but now one of our residents; he is a young man every way worthy of the rare good fortune that has fallen to his lot in becoming the husband of Miss Eik. Of Miss Eik it is superfluous to speak. They commence wedded life with every promise of happiness that thier friends could wish them. The Rev.

Mr. Combs officiated. Some 30 'relatives and friends were present, and a most bountiful repast was 'served. A large number of useful 'and ornamental pjeseuts were left with the happy couple as evidences of the respect and affection in which Mr. and Mrs, Millingtou are held by their neighbors.

He has given out that cabinet officers must make appointments in their several departments, and that he will not listen to 'aspi-rauts for petty places. This is certainly a move in the right direction. It will relieve the President of the chief annoyance of his hirrh' position, such annoyance as the heads of other nations will not and ought not to tol erate.

Of course, there will oe mucn complaint and criticism, to Ihe effect that an American Presideut is assum ing undemocratic airs and seeking the haughty seclusion of European potentates. But, looked at rightly, President Arthur can. serve the interests of fifty millions of people in a much broader and more democratic way if he will snub tne ten thousand beats who come begging for office, thus refusing to selfish individuals that time that he owes not to a man. not even to a party, but to the whole country. It will doubtless recpuire some time to teach the thick-skinned office seeking world that, the President of the United States, has something elso to do than to appoint them 'to lucrative sinecure's.

But President Arthur must, at the outset, be credited with strategical skill. Instead of going to the White House, winch has always been, a resort for office seekers, he is staying at the private residence of Senator Jones. This is calculated to throw the office, seeker' off the scent, to confuse and make him dependent; But this is not the worst. In, a few daj-s President will re move to Soldiers) Home," a beauti-; ful park thre-s miles from the city The mob of office seekers, who come here every winter about the, begin ning of the congressional session, can not reach him there, because not one in a hundred, can hire a carriage, and they, will not walk tJiree mils i the mud The President will remain at "Soldiers' Home until the White House is fully repaired, which, will probably not be before mid-winter, and his absence from 'the itsual abode of head of, the nation, will have a marked Influence on social life in Washington.
