Show A recent dispatch says that President Garfield has fully decided not to call an extra session of Congress. Hence it seems to be definitely settled that no extra session will be held, and that there is no possibility of having the Cannon-Campbell controversy settled before the opening of the regular session next December. Had an extra session been called, it would have brought that case before Congress in a manner to have effected an immediate decision respecting it, unless Campbell's friends could have succeeded in having it continually staved off and postponed. This will no doubt be their policy when Congress shall convene in December next, but if Mr. Cannon can prevent the staving off of the question there is little doubt but that it will be promptly decided in his favor. |
