- The Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore Sun, says it is positively certain
that at the extra session there will be deci.
ded stand taken against Hayes and his policy,
by his party friends in both Houses of Con-
gress. 1t will be initiated in executive session
in the Senate, but will soon spread to the
open sessions. In the present very nearly
equal political division Of parties in the Sen.
ate, the result will be that even in the ab.
sence of any formal alliance or understand
ing with disafected Republicans, the Demo.
cratic Senators will, nine times out of ten, be
able to control both legislation and the ap-
proval or rejection of appointments. ....

A Hint to Political Agents. -. 49,
"A Washington dispatch says that some
time since a special agent Of the Department
was appointed from one of the Southern States
and assigned to duty in the South. This
duty proved arduous and sometimes disagree
able, and led to letter from the new special
agent, in which he insisted that his 1abors
should be confined to his own State, and that
the understanding when he was appointed
was that he should aid his party friends in
organizing an administration party in hif
State. This assumption on his part called
forth letter from the Postoffce department.
in which the following language, is used: :
"You were not appointed to: organize apd1
build up an administration party in. your
State or elsewhere. You were appointed to
do the work of the Postofiee department.
You serve your party best by doing that
work, and 1 shall take great pleasure in re-
moving an agent and reducing the force when
discover that he has time to attend to party
organization and party discipline. We must
have no greater force than is necessary to dc
the Postofice work, and politics is no part o.
this work." ,.......,. ....
