EXTRA SESSION OF CONGRESS.

After the authoritative announcement had
been made for a week IN advance that The
President would issue his proclamation on
the 9TH inst calling an extra session of con
gress on the 4th of June, the country was Ia
ken by surprise on Saturday by the decision
of the President to postpone the extra session
until the 10Th Of October. The only reason
given for calling congress together at all in
advance Of the regular day of meeting Is that
the appropriations for the army run out on
the Both OF June, and if no previous provis
ion is made for its support after that date the
army must be disbanded. If the President
can undertake to tide over the army without
legal authority from June Both TO October
18th, there Is no reason why he cannot tide II
over SIX or seven weeks longer, until the regu
lar meeting of congress in December. Oh
course the President has no idea Of disbanding
the army, yet he is violating law just as much
in maintaining it three months and hall
without legal warran, as If 1t was five months
Certainty there is no argument in favor OF the
postponement to October that would not be
stronger in favor OF the pOstponement tc
December.
AS no explanation Of this extraordlnay
postponement is given, the reason for i, can
only be guessed at, and all parties making
an essay IL that direction seem to make the
same guess, and that is, that in the present
condition of the republican party the Presi
dent dare not risk a meeting of congress
Blaine Butler, Wade, Chandler, the Cam
erons, &C. have shown such belligerent dis
position that If congress were to meet it is
certain formidable opposition to the Hayes
administration and policy would at once de-
velope itself; and that opposition would show
itself also in the various combinations in
the states with reference to the fall elections.
BY putting off congress to the middle Of Oc-
tober this opposition must necessarily remain
without organization or head to that time,
and when the November elections are held,
by summOning congress TO meet in October,
the leaders will be away from home and SO
the opposition will still be without head or
leadership,
Hayes Is certainly exhibiting no little Gun.
ming in tie matter of heading off the bloody
shutters, but whether they Will not be made
only the madder and less appeasable by this
ere little maneuvre, remains to be developed.
