April 6, 1882/ The Extra Session. Without any premonition' wlmtover the ques tion of an extra session of the L?glsloturo has naen raised for the purpose of ro-distrloliug the Hiato before tbo Congressional oleotion ooours next fall. Our Senators aud some of our Rep resentatives at Washington favor this course. Col. Aiken opposes it, but nono of them givo reasons ono Way or the other for tho course marked' out by them. This is to be regretted, because il might have thrown light on (lie situa tion and enabled tho peoplo of tho Slato to come to a proper conclusion. Thcro seems to bo no doubt but that tho Governor will convene the Legislature in extra session for this pur pose Aocording to tho apportionment of Congress We are to have seven Representatives. This WOUld givo tho oleotion of two members by tho State at largo, and tho Legislature beforo its Adjournment made provision for holding au election for this purpose i'lio Legislature also passed a law which pro vides that Ibero shall be separate boxes and ecparato managers of election for tho State and Federal oleotiona. This law practically divorces us from the Federal elections and really gives them up to tho Republicans. If tho L?gislature Is to bo called together wo hopo this law will bo. repealed und tho peoplo left freo as in Ibo Other States to join iu oil tho eleotions In which tiao Demooratio party is in anywiso interested. It ought to bo remembered that tho Legisla ture hos been in ?ession a muoh longer period tbo last session than usual, nnd that its legisla tion, whether for good Cr evil, has hud a prcju dici.il' effect upon th? p?blio mind. ?If tho Legislature itt called together what will it dot JUdged by (ho past we aro unable lo say. We are, howevor, uncompromisingly opposed tc the extra session if other legislation than thal mentioned by tis is to bo acted upon. Federal Prosecutions. There has not been a day since tho death o President Garfield that tho Stalwart tendenoiet of Arthur hos not shown itself moro or less His appointments, with ono or two exceptions have b?cn taken from that wing of tho party It waa natural, therefore, for Mr. Brewster Attorney Goneral, lo give a Stalwart yell in tiwi direction beforo the day fixed for Ibo prosecu lion of these cases to commence. Wo think however, it was a very harmless proceeding although it exhibited tho partizan animus of th accidental administration. lt has been two years since tho election wa hold at wbiob it was alleged that corrupt an fraudulent practices occurred. Why this doloy if the Government was in earnest in vindicatio] tho rights of the negroes and a handful of lo\ while mon who volo tho Radical ticket for tb purpose of holding and enjoying tho Fodcru offices in Soulh Carolina? This to our mind i bOnol?sive-that tho Government is moro in ? crested in fostering a hybrid party ia Soutl Carolina than In vindicating tho purity of tb ballot box, and wo believe Ibis will bo tho vcr diet of tho whole country. ?ndor this belie the people Of the State aro rallying to tho sid of those who'have been long indicted, bular now for tho first lime in two years brought u for trial. Money ls being raised by tho Demo orals in their behalf and able counsel have bec employed for Ihoir dofence. Wa aro not to bo frightened by Ibis St al war raid into tho bcliof that tho persons indicie will necessarily be conviotcd. Some of tb witnessos against thom may bc ignorant un Yenttl, but wrong cannot in open day bb dori In the court room, although somo of the mr Ohinery of tho court is no better thnn it ougl lo bo. If these persons aro guilty of tit OtTenocs ohnrgod let them bo punished, and lc tho country know that justice can bo dono i the South as well ns elsewhere.

EDITORS KEOWBK COURIER- Dear Sirs: I havo just roturned from a short visit to Washington, D. 0., Now York and a portion of the East, a running sketch of which may be of interest to'some of your readers. On tho morning of tho 9th instant I left Westminster by tho 11.50 North bound train, vin Richmond, and arrivod nt tho B. & P. R. R. dopot, Washington, at 1.30 P. M. tho foltowing day. Tho purposo of tho visit there was to secure patents for certain im provements in gouring for what is generally known ns traction engines or steam wagons and an automatic steering device for tho samo. Whilo attending to these mutters I was shown tho workings of tho various departments of the Patont Office by Mr. Wm. R. ?ingleton, who waa for Bevon years an assistant examiner in tho offioo and has bcon for tho last seven a Solioitor of Patents. Tho pntcnt office'building is mudo of sand stone-tho extension of whito marble Tho cxtornul finish is plain and simple nnd is ndmircd for its majestic grandeur. It measures 410 feet by 275 feet. Tho interior is simply grand. It contains 191 rooms and cost $2,100,000 and is now more than self sustaining. Tho model rooms, with their thousands of models of tho various machines that huvn been patented, wore quite interesting to mo, ns well as many oilier things to bo seen in this building. Near the entranco aro many relics of interest, such n's Washington's ton sot with its colored Ohiliaa (blllO predominating), Franklin's printing press, ito., &c. After finishing business in the Patent Offioo I went forth for a look nt tho city. Tho limo allotted to mo hero was too short to go into details, so I had to bo content with a general survey, going first to tho Capitol, tho center and the center of attraction, mounted Cn an eminence known as Cupitol Hill. Il being Saturday tho Senato and House wcro not in session. Pings wero unfurled; tho pince looked somewhat deserted, there being but few persons about tho grounds. On Sunday I accepted an invitation, courteously extended by Congressman Aiken, to attend sorvices with him at tho r.cw and beautiful church of Dr. Hix. Tho building is truly charming und comfortable nnd tho discourso wrls nbl?, delivered in behalf of associated charities of tho District of Colum bia-text "Mercy." Dr. Ilix's appeal to his people to ho merci lui io tho cbjccts of charity in their portion cf tho field was uiado with groat forco. On Monday I ngain visited tho Capitol, this limo at thc solicitation of Col. Aiken, a faithful guardian of tho rights nnd an earnest wot ker fir tho interests of his constituents. He gavo mc a brief history of tho workings of tho Congressional body, pointed out mem bers of influence and noto, tnlked freoly of things connected with this body and matters in general, then showed mo through different apartments of tho building, library, &c, after which I bado him adioo, passed out through tho rotunda and entered a stairway, by which, after a long and laborious climb, I found myself upon tho dome of tho Capitol, upw ard ol 300 feet from tho ground below. Hore I had a fino air-braving viow of tho city and its surroundings. Tho Capitol is situated about tho centre of tho plot of the oily, lying N. E. of the Potomac, ? distance of nbout ono milo. Rather on the South sido uf tho city hud nt the confluence of Anncostia, or East brunell, with tho Potomac, tho river may bo said to widen into a bountiful bny of placid wator of about two miles width, making tho wholo a quiot water panorama of rare beauty. Tho plan of thc city nt once presents to the eyo of tho beholder a picture of grandeur. Thc distance of tho public buildings from each other, tho number of parks scattered hero and thcro throughout tho oily, thc breadth of its streets and avenues suggest com fortable situations ot nbodo for a popu lation which may in tho futuro prove a task tu estimate, instead of, ns now, tho habitation of about 15?.000 souls. Reckoning tho Capitol ns it now stands, its extremo length North to Sooth is 731 foot, width 324 feot nnd its white dome towers in tho air 390 foot. Tho old portion of tho building, which is tho control portion, is mudo of yellow sand stono, painted white, nnd tho addition or wings of white marble. Tho domo is made of cast iron, painted white with a copper roof, crowned with a oolloqsul statue of free dom in bronzo 18 feet high. The wholo has cost tho people to construct and maintain to tho present timo upward of $15,000.000. A beautiful pork surrounds tho Capitol from which radiate four avenues and three streets as tho spolies of a whoo) radiate from tho hub, except that tho four avenues extend, as it wero, through tho hub, making eight spokes, which, with tho throe streets, moko eleven, and that they aro not uniform in their radiation. Tho streets run North and South, Mast and West, and out from tho Capitol tho avenues aro riot concentric, but run nt various anglos to tho streets rind ns well ns thoso first mentioned aro named for tho States of tho Union.. Pennsylvania nvonuo is tho principal thoroughfare of tho city. On it and in its immediate vicinity aro seen tho following: A monument crootod by officers of the navy in memory of tho fallon of that branch of tho service in tho Into civil war, the botanical garden, city hall, city post offioo, post offico department, depnrtmont of interior, treasury dopartmont, President's hotiso, Stnto, war and navy dopartmont, Washington and Jnckson statues, 1(0. I will mention only ono moro object of tho capital city of tho United States-that of tho nionu : mont now being cr?ot?d to tho memory of . ..; . V'- .' ; nu.?im i ml. ' 'MI Wi m t\u-m. Washington, tt ts situated on tho bank of tho Pot om no, duo Wost from tho o?jpl^ol-a murblo obelisk,' whoso baso is fifty fl*o foot square, hoigbt &s it now stands 260 foot, but whoo finished will bo 550 foot. The walla ore fifteen feet thick at the base, gradually tapering nt the rato of \ loob to the foot on the outside. The inaido wal] is perpendicular and is being adorned with stone from many coo ii trios ns tributes* to tho memory of Wash ington. All tho steno used in building ia onrried up on tho insido by an elevator. Tho marble for tho extension work is obtained ooar Baltimore Md., ?hilo tho insido or backing is of granito from Maine. 1 loft Windiington at 1.30 P. M., 14th instant, by tho Pennsylvania ronlo nod arrived in Hartford, Conn., tho following morning at 4, without chango of oars, tho faithful steamer Maryland having oonvoyod us snugly snoozing in ooaob safely around tho city of Now York toa station a fow milos above, whenoo WO proceeded. Tho object of my visit thoro was to learn of an improved engino now being manufno ured by tho Colt'? Fifo Arms Co., with a viow of usiug it in connection with my improvement on tho traction engino. This ongine is an English invontion, brought out and improved by tho Colt's Company and proves to bo equal in ovory respect to tho reciprocating ongino in general usc and much superior to it in many particulars. Tho Colt manufactory is quito extensivo. They manufacturo a variety of guns, putois, email c'lunon, shot and sholl, sevf lng maohinos and diso engines. Hero tho Gatling war gun is made, said to bo onpablo of firing 500 shots to tho minuto. Tho floor loogth of their buildings if laid end to end would reach seven miles. Hartford is a manufacturing place, and I risitcd quito a number of tho factories, but cannot in this short letter mention but one tither-that of tho Weed Sewing Machino Co., who mnko sowing machines and bicycles. Mr. Belohcr, a young man connected with tho company, eh ow od mo in detail tho con struction and workings of thoir new sowing machine which thoy christened "Tho Hart ford." It is very simple, proportionate, strongly made, light running and almost noiseless in its oporation. These machines may bo seen at Westminster with their -gents, Messrs. Zimmerman ami Johns. Mr. B. kindly conducted mo through their entire works, pointing nut things in general, then loft mo at my leisure to study tho workings .if the various machines in their shop, which I enjoyed to tho fullest extent possiblo for tho Limo to which I hud limited myself. They make bicycles suitable to tho length of nil legs and to tho size of all purses and sowing machines suitable for nil cloth. From Hartford I wont to New Haven, Conn., another manufacturing pince, to soo a now steam boiler, tho invention of Professor Wm. P. Trowbridge of Colombia College N. Y. lt is a coil boiler, said to bo automatic in its Fiction nod absolutely safo against explosion, having been tested as an experiment with a pressure of 2,000 pounds to thc squnro inch, much lighter than tho boilers in common usc und occupy less space. I have mudo theso investigations simply that 1 may get tho best and most improved combined with my improvement, that I may hnvo a fir.-t cluss traction engine in every particular und of which I am very sanguine From Now Haven I bent my way home ward, plopping two days in New York, not on business, but to seo thc great Northern city of the Union-a grand depot for thc reception of all articles o? trado for both buyers and sailors; but it should bo borne in mind (hut the prico of storage enrichos many and feeds thousands. For IV.? benefit of tiloso of your readers who have never visited tho city of Now York I giro thc fol lowing sketch: It embraces tho whole ol Manhattan Mond nnd many small islands in its vicinity. It embraces a considornblo portion of mainland North of tho Harlem River. Manhattan Island lies betweon the Now York bay, East River and tho Hudson or North River, separated from tho mainland of tho Stato by tho Harlem River and thc Spnylcn Duyvill Creek, whioh two ennncot the East nnd Hudson Rivers. Tho city ol New York is sixteen miles long with an avorngo width of about two and a half milos and embraces 26,500 acres nnd has 1.500.00C inhabitants. Its vastness, situation and surroundings givo it n great deal of impor? tunco, nnd it dubs nil tho cities nnd village." in its vicinity "suburbs of Now York." Il is tho ehiof port of entry of tho United States, comprising all other municipalities on tho New York bay, tho Hudson and East Rivers. About 00 per cont, of tho foreign trado of tho Uoitcd States is carried on through this port. Tho upper portion of thc city is rogularly laid out with broad nvonncs running lengthwise, the city crossed nt righ angles by tho streets. Tho lower part it somewhat confused in pinn. Tho strceti conforming first to tho water slopes on cithci side, thon changing to blond with tho uppoi portion. Broadway, tho groot thoroughfare it bont rathor through tho centre of tho citj from tho bottom to tho .Central Park,( distance of fivo milos. Its upper portiot crosses tho avenues and streets diagonally Broadway alono affords a field of study, wit! its massive buildings, somo of thom covering a squnro and whoso height overshadow nnd dwarf the streot below. Commodious hotels spacious theatres and towering stooplos, ali ns varied in their nrchitccturo ns in tin material of which thoy aro constructed being of granito, brown steno, sand stone mnrblo, brick and iron-in sonto instances i combination of two or moro of thcio mato rials. Taking in all in all it may bo snit to present a chaos of colors. Tho variety o its shops, tho moil and turmoil of its traffic its pooplo, the crowding and jambing of it vohiolos, which nt a point immediately bolov the massive post n[lico building, just wher Park Row branohos out, mny bo said to mah crossing it an art requiring much courage and pro?enco of mind. Tho battory is ful of interost, with its many visitors watohinf tho ceaseless plowing to and fro of tin steamers, ships, noisy puffing tugs, &c Cnstlo Gurdon, noar by, presents n poouliarl; curious interest arid mingles ono's thought with tho "confusion of.longuos." A short wnlk round Ibo East River sidi brings to viow tho groat East River bridge Tho wbolo longth of tho bridgo will bo *i,00i feet.

Tho floor in the centro of tho bridge will bo one hundred nod thirty-five feet abovo high water, so that navigation will riot be impeded. The control span, 1,690 feet, will bo sgspendod to fear cubics of stool wire, ouch sixteen inches in diameter. Thoso cables, from tower to tower, havo a deflection of 128 feet. Tho height of towers abovo wator ia 208 feet and they aro sunk to tho rook bed boneath to a depth of 45 foot on tho Brooklyn sido und 85 feet on tho Now York eldo. The four cables, aftor passing ovor the towers enter tho anohor walls ubont 80 i oct above water, pass through tho masonry, a distunco ol 20 feet and oonneot with tho anohor ohnin Each anchor contains about 35,000 cobie ynrds of masonry. Tho approaohos on bulb sides uro suspended alu ve tho roofs of tho buildings underneath. Upwards of $15.000.000 will bo required to foot tho bill of this groud project. The inadequacy of tho ferries to uocummoduto tho daily crossing and an occasional interruption of loo and fog lcd to this enormous bridge project. 00.000,000 porsoos crossed thc East Uiver ferries in 1872. Central Purk, prided by Now York ns being ono of thc most beautiful tho world ovor saw, is troly ohurming, especially when tho beholder is told that up to a fow years past it was but a waste of rook and swamp. It embraces BOO acres, hus nine miles of drive nnd twenty eight milcv of foot path. 10,000 seats, 30 buildings ol ali kinds, 48 bridges arches and tunnels and a wnter expanse of 185 acres including two largo reservoirs bolonging to tho city waterworks and about sis other divisions culled lukes and ponds. Tho central ornament of the park is tho Bethesda Fountain, tho figuro of an angel ?a tho nttitudo of blessing tho waters hovering over a muss of rock from which thc wnter goshes, fall ovor tho edge of thc busin, vcilitg a group of four smaller figures emblematic, of the blessings of temperanco, purity, health mid peace. Standing,on a knoll in tho grounds adjoining tho Metro politan Musoum of Arl is scon th- obelisk, 1 an ancient monumont, Cleopatra's Noodle, n monolith looked upon by Mo-cs and had grown dim with ugo at the lime of Augustus 1 Caesar. Thc notion of the ruin und sunshine of centuries have roudored part of ibo in? bcriplions illegible 1 could mention many attractivo things that cunio under my observation, hut will now speak briefly ol tho elevated railways and clouo. Thc devoted railways have been in operation something moro than two yours nod ibero appears yet to be a difference of opinion as to whether or not it is host for the city; but it eertuinly volvo* tho question of rapid transit. Tho city being long and narrow but few lines are necessary. Thcro uro lour now in npernttion, running the avenues lengthwise the city, having stations at convenient distances on tho cross st roots. The Hunks uro erected upon a line of iron columns nt each side ol the street cur trucks nnd tue connected nt ibo top by oliptio arch girders. At all ibo stations there aro two sluirwnys on either side leading up from tho streets below. Tho curs mo luxurious, artistic in design nnd thc little locomotives neut and compact. There is ono thing more, however, 1 cannot refrain from mentioning: Of all thc railways starting from or terminat ing in New York, there is but ono passenger depot in tho city-Iii nt of the Grand Central, ll extends from 42nd slreet to 45th street, between 4th or Park mid Vanderbilt avenue Tho space for trains is covered by n glasv and iron roof, having a single arch of n spun of 200 feet, altitude of 110 feet, length of 095 feet and a width of 240 feet, a train consisting of a locomotivo nod twolvo pas senger oars finds streaching room in it, und twelve such trains can be admitted side by side nt the sume limo. About 125 trains arrive mid deport daily with loss than half tho noiso and confusion witnessed nt tho car shod in Atlanta. livorything is dono with such thorough system that crowding or confusion is a thing almost unknown.

Editors: As stated in my last letter I got aboard of tho Central Railroad train ou Surduy night at 12 o'clock, pass ing by many little towns, whioh I could dimly seo by moonlight. Tho railroad from Atlanta to Macon-103 miles-is upon a dry ridge, not crossing even a branch. Tho waters on tho right hand, as you go, run into the Gulf of Mexico nnd these on thc left hand run into tho Atlantic Ocean. I only got n slight, view of Macon, n con* sidcrablc city. Thc houses nrc quito scat tered over perhaps os much territory as is covered by tho great city of Allant?, but not more than one third of tho inhabitants arc living in Maoon that do in the crowded oily of Atlanta I changed cora nt Maoon at 8 A. M. still OH tho Central Railroad from Maoon to Savannah, whioh road I traveled about sixty miles to Sun Hill, right through ewamps larger than I hud ever be fore had seen. Got to Sun Hill station about ten and a half o'clock A. M. Put up with Mr. Riddle, where J. lien Wilson boards. Col. R. J. Wilson of Atlanta owns a largo tract of lund at this station, 6,000 or 7,000 aores pretty well tenanted. He also has a lime deposit on it, which is being utilized. They aro putting up a oar load per dsy of tho limo, iotcrmixed with potash, and ero shipping it constantly at 816 per ton for fertilizers. Tho deposit is a wonderful col'ootion. Some tremendous commotions of naturo piled up thc great monsters of thc deep ut this plaoo years ago whero they have petrified and bocomo hard lime. Tho shapes of star fish aro plainly shown in tho lime, nlso thousands of teeth mixed through the deposit. Thc limo is so hard they havo to blast it to get if so they can get it into thc kiln whero they burn it. Tho swamps aro covered with boy trees, magnolias and palmetto, growing natural.
