WAIIIIVOTOV , I ) . C. . Jan. 12 ) It Is safe to say that three-fourths of the republicans in the senate and hotlso of repre sentatives nro in favor ol nn extra session of tlio Fifty llrst congress. Not moro than half of the ono fourth classed In opposition to nn cxtih session oppose It on other than econom ical grounds. Tlio remaining one-eighth maybe bo said to onposo nn extra session because the.v think It would bo bad politics or would bring upon themselves and General Ilnrri- HOII extraoiitlnnry duties on account of ofllco scekeis. Interviews with fifty republican representatives disclose thirty-six who take open grounds in favor of nn extra ses- nlon , six who regard nn e\lrn session Inadvisable , but would accept It if the major ity bellovo it proper , and eight who oppose it on | Xlltical or personal grounds , Fourteen out of twonty-ono rcpub'icau ' scnntots Inter viewed are strongly iu favor of an extra Bcssioti , while seven oppose It or regard nn extra session improbable , liclovv I quote on this ftubjcct soum of these senators whoso names mo most familiar to Tin : liii : lenders : Senator Mundcrson : "Things me drifting now lu such a helpless , aimless way iu the ' house that it looks very much as If it would bo neecssaiy for the president to call an extra session.

Mr. Oorsoy , of Nebraska : "It seems to mo ' thnt there will bo but a very small amount of the pressing business done during the re mainder of the present session , and the i business interests of thu country will i .demand caily netion upon somewhat important subjects nt the hnnds of the next , fcougiess. In view of the fact that the Fifty- fllist congiess will revive tlio tariff in some way , I think It is best to relieve the business ' interest * of the suspense they will labor un der by Having to wait a year or so to sco what will bo done In the regular course of cougicssionul piocccdings. I favor anextra t , session , if for no other purpose , to organize the house and revisu the tariff. Mr. Htrublo of Iowa : "On the whole , nnd especially as the terntoi iul question will not bo properly disposed of at this session , 1 re gard it as ndviseablc and probable. The con trol of the liouso may bo at stake and the country demands a revision of the revenue laws. " Gonornl Henderson of Iowa : "I think a called session to meet , say October 1 , would 1)0 desirable , and that one may bu held. It is pretty clear that nothing will be done at this sobsiou iq tegard to pensions , the tariff , the territories , or other important measures. Our slim majority in the next house will not permit us to niovo rapidly , uud un extra ses- siou probably will bo found necessary. I Shall regret the necessity. " Governor ucar , of Iowa : "I believe that nn extra , session will be held. I regard it as liecessnry and desirable for the country , ' though probably not regarded ns personally dcsiruulo by Pie-sident-cleet Harrison. Tins do nothing congress , of course will do noth ing , and there are some important mattcis ivhich will not biook delay. " 10 STor rii.inusrBieiNO. Ancnt the filibustering in the house which has caused n deadlock for ten days , there is " a great dcnl of talk now miiong"members - elect to the Fifty-first congress about mles Winch shall be adopted to govern that body. The actions of General Weaver have HO dis gusted mid impressed the members with this one-mail power that they nro determined , such leverages shall bu impossible iu the next house. Great care will bo exor cised In the formation nnd adoption of the next set of rules. It will not bo pos sible for one man , or tlvu men , or tun men , or any smalt pjr cunt of the minority to band together and create a dead-lock , or to any * considerable extent impede the progicss of legislation. Thcro is too much important worlc to bo done by the Fifty-lhst congress to penult anything ot this kind. Thu pios- , poets are thnt In the adoption of the rules 'Which will govern the next house , ono of the ' 'greatest ' lights will arise which has over boon known in tongi ess. It is tlio intention Of the democrats in the FIfty-IIist congress > to defeat certain legislation contemplated by the republicans by filibustering tactics. ' T They Intend to keep out of statehood ceitaln tcrritoilcs , if possible , und defeat llio pas sage of coitnin fcututes in the proposed UnlT " bill , and in the minority they can accom plish tholr worlc only by filibustering. xnuiw : Hii.ts. The lopubllcaiis propose to leave out of the rules the customary clause which required u two-thirds vote to amend the rules , anil the.v will make It possible to adopt tiny kind of alterations by a more majority. This will give them the bundle end of the whip in case of any emergency , nnd they cunuxliicatc themselves from nny predicament the demo crats may force upon the , houso. To defeat ( ho adoption of such ruins , the democrats , of course , will light like tlgeis and rusoit to all conceivable tactics. The present mles will , ' of course , pmvail until the now rules aio pdoptcd , nud therefore the democrats , in lighting against the adoption of the nuw set bf rules , with certain advantageous elements for the republicans , will have a great advantage - . ago , and it is moro thnn likely that a deadlock - lock will ensue at the very outset.

The present system was compiled from the town orpniii/ition laws of different states , and is very badly mixed up. The object ol the coming meeting will bo to have the de fects of the picsuut law pointed out , and to ngiec on a simple and bolter law. If no law is enacted countiot will have to tall b irk on the commls-iioiicrsliip s.vstum. Thuie aio now twenty two counties under the township orgnni/atiou sjstom , mid the lumainlng counties am under the coiiimissionciship system , which prevails iu Douglas county.

The question of the submission of a consti tutional amendment prohibiting the inatiu fiieture und sale of Intoxicating liquors is not uxcitiui ; much public attention as yet , but members are quiutl\ discussing the matter I tallied with several gentlemen of the sen ate and hoiiHO to duy , who made an approxi mate estimate of thu votes which such a measure will iccoivo in both houses. The committees are elose-mouthud In regard to what their action will be. Nothing is known bo\ond the fact that both majority and minority i oporto will bo submitted In both houses. I give the estimate of these gentle- moil , Tnero are thirty-three members of the senate , The utmost number of votes In favor of submission is lit , with ouo or two of them doubtful. Thuio are thiiteen who are known to bo iigulnxt , with one member who is of the clasi who wnlt nnd espouse the pop ular side when the result is clearly foru- flhadowcd. It will require twenty votes to make Uuoo-Ilfths of thu hcuato. The doubts are nil on the side of the piohlbltlonfstH , with the probabilities in favor of the failure of the measure in the bon- utn. In the liou.su I talked with three or four mcmibora , one of whom Is a member of thu committee on ronstltu tionul amendments. Thcro are 100 incmiicis in that body. These gentlemen agreed in the statement that tl.e number of tnoso who are known to be in favor ot Kuch an amend ment Is 41 i thu number known to bo opposed to. the measures Is 3-t. Tlioro uro 13 who uro doubtful , uud out of this number prohibition must sccuie Hi votes In order to got thu ( 'ft votes necessary to prevail lu that body. A majority of the house committee are opposed to the measure ; a majority of the scnato committee favor prohibition , und yet thu house has been supposed to have this neces sary majority for the measure , while the senate - ate has been supposed to oppose it , It is the view of a number of members with whom I have talked , that the time has passed when the people of the state will give u m.ijoi ity for prohibition. Eight years , or oven six years ago , they say , such a measure might have carried by u goodly majority Hut the immigrants to the stnta during tl o past four years have bean of a class who npposa such a measure. They ny that the people of nnv section of the stuto favoring practical prohibition , Intro it In tholr power now to adopt a measure which will bo effec tive ; they van refuse to llcensp saloons , lu cities they can raise the llcenso to $ JWO , under which arrangement only snlorms of the higher clnss can lhrl\e nnd pay thetnv. That suc'h a law Is Infinitely to bo preferred to the abolition of all license , nnd permitting hun dreds of "holes m the wall" to lluive ns the.\ do in the state of Maine , in Kansas and cveii in low.i , needs no demonstration. The lire-sent legislature has , these gentle men think , a sufllclent minority ot sensible nnd level headed moil who take Ihls view , to fissure wholesome legislation In the diree tlon of restriction rather than of Intemperate and fruitless legislation seeking to prohibit a trafllc that nourishes in states which have tried prohibition , mid Imvo so far fulled to enforce it.
