zeal TO every suggestion of n concilatory
policy. determined to force this issue, and
thus to drive the more moderate wing OF the
Republican party into line.
The House of Representatives stood up
bravcly and faithfully to its duty, and in
sisted upon maintaining its position; and
the Army bill was lost by the obstinacy of
Hayes pro.cssed friends in the Senate. No
injury will be inflicted on the service or on
the country by this mishap. We rejoice at
the failure, because public attention will
now be drawn to the huge military cstab-
lishmcnt which the people are required to
support by oppressive taxation, and To the
disgraccfu abuses which have grown up un-
dcrit. The money for the army is already APP
propriatcd for the current fiscal year t. the
3Oth ofJunc, or four months ahead. There is
abundant time for reflection, and II an OK
traordinary session Of Congress be required,
why, let it como. Meantime, the Fraudulent
President will have shown his hand by acts,
and his intentions for the future can be
better gagged than is now possible.
During the last eight years, the army has
been used as II great machine to pull down
honest and set up fraudulent governments
in the South or in other words, to uphold
one party and TO defeat another The spec
tacr recently presented in South Carolina,
Florida, and Louisiana, was not only II hui
initiation TO American character, which has
submitted tamcly To these repeated scan
dals under GRANT, but was an outrage upon
the name Of free Institutions. Step 10y step
we have been following in the beaten paths
which lead to military dcspotism.
Now. when Fraudulent President has
been installed in Office, who sooner or later
must fall into the hands of the most dcs-
pcratc leaders, and who is already ruled by
the corrupt counscls of JOHN SHERMAN and
his Ring, the House of Representatives,
speaking and acting for the people, will axe
no cheap professions and canting phrases
for guarantees. They have locked the doors
of the Treasury after the lst of July, and
HAYES cannot repeat the burglary by which
he entered the White Housc without being
confronted with penalties that he Is not anx-
iou- to seek. If he and his friends mean
what Of late they pretend, what need is there

Mr.. HAYES. who has not been elected Prcsi-
dent Of the United States. but who has twice
taken the oath Of Office, a. If to make up 10y
abundant swearing his essential lack of
votes. delivered an inaugural address at
Washington yesterday.
A large part of it was composed of gencr-
alitics not glittcring, but dun.
Mr.. HAYES opened with the remark: 1--WE
have assembled to repeat the public cere-
monial begun by WASHINGTON This would
seem to bc an historical mistake, "A WASH
lSGroN went through no ceremonial of in
auguration until after his election Nr.
HAYES ceremonial might more APPLY be
compared to the mock funeral got up by
Lord TIMOTHY DEXrEE OF Massachusetts,,
during his lifetime.
Nj. HAYES next intimatcs that reason
nhlc doubt of his veracity may herctofore
have prevailed, by this remark: Il wish
now. when every motive OF misrcprescnta-
tion has passed away, to repeat what was
said before the election For a man who
assumes to bc President of the United Statcs,
this seems rather an extraordinary sell
ahn-ement.
Ca the southern question Mr. HAYES OBJ
servations are dreary and unmcaning plati-
tudos.
To civil service reform he rcncws his
pledges. Speaking Of the views entertained
by the founders of tho Government in refer
rncc to the tenure Of oflce, he asserts that
They meant that the officer should be
secure in his tenure n long "a his personal
character remained untnrnished and the
performance Of his duties satisfactory"
Such is the avowcd policy Of Mr.. HAYES; il
he keeps his word. he will, in this respect.
follow what he thinks was the doctrine of
the founders.
Now let us soc how long he will do this.
We predict that he VIII heyin by changing
his Cabinet. and that this will be succeededhy
n great many Other changes; and that the
cry OF civil service reform will prove TO be-
under him, as it turned out under his inn
mediate predecessor, the mcrest political
ohaif to catch votes with.
In glaring Inconsistency with his general
doctrine about the tenure Of Office Mr.
HAYES recommends an amendment Of the
Constitution 80 a. Ia make the President in
gible to a second term.
II tpho frrvcntly hoped that what thore Is
lott OF The Constitution, after tho creation and
the exploits OF the Electoral Commission,
may remain intact Ii there werc TO bee any
change, IL should be- 10 prevent. il possible,
not the reelection Of Il deserving President,
hut the assumption Of the Office by man
who hae not boom elected
Justices CLIFFORD and FIELD manifested
their sense of propriety by abSenting them
selves from the ceremony. Had they kept
away from the Electoral Commission it
would have been still better.
The crowd Of people at Washington is said
10 be immense largo part of them are
from the State Of ONO. Their purpose IS
generally understood 10 be To sustain Mr.
HAYES in hi views of civil service reform
at least to the extent that after they once
got Int, o.lice they are entitled TO remain in
for life.

Gen. Grant for the supreme Court.

The name of Gen GRANT is mentioned for
Secretary OF War under MIR. HAYES. But
GRANT has SO many competitors that We
think there is no chance for him for that
place.
Besides, GRANT is partial to ofllcc with u
a longer tenure. Why not make him Judge
of the supreme Court OF the United States!
