WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON, d. c., May u, IT.
No political event of the last ten
years created greater feeling among
politicians than the postponement of
the Extra Session ofCongress to Oct
18th. The day first spoken of, June
4th, world have given time for Con
gross to make such changes as SEEM
ed proper in regard to the army, and
to furnish money for it's support, and
the changes and appropriations could
have taken effect when the current
years appropriations will expire
June 3Cth. For some unknown rea-
son the President chose to defer the
meeting until three and half months
after that time, and will have on his
hands an army for which he has no
legal means of providing, but which
must still be provided for. The act
seems to be most serious one, as it
shows disposition to disreg. erd law.
This act will certainly lead to two
consequences unpleasant to the Pres
ident, 1t will make him enemies in
his own party, for it will be looked
on as confession that he fears the
OPPOSITE on among Republicans, which
an Extra Session would be sure to
develop and consolidate. 1t will in
jure him among those Democrats who
were incline d to give him even a quail
flied support, for if there is one thing
the Democracy is united in to-day it
is the determination that the army
shall not become the instrument of
executive oppression. Under this plan
of Hayes the action of Congress, in
refusing to make appropriation for
the army is nullified- The army be-
comes merely the creature and de
pendent of the President.
The Republican of this morning
says it is likely session will yet be
called for June, but this is hardly
likely.
The Republican also gives curren-
cy to rumor that General Gordon
will soon be made Secretary of War.
An Ohio politician visited the
White House to make plain talk to
the President, on the 9th inst, in OPP
position to his Southern policy. The
President was surprised" / Won
der what his sensation would be if

FOR THE
Campaign Against National Fraud

A President who was nor elected by the
people having been inaugurated at Wash>
ington through processes .! fraud we call
upon honest men cf all parties to rally to-
gether in a determined and persistent eff
forts for the correction of this great wrong
and for the punishment of the guilty to be
enforced through the ballot box.
For this outrage upon the right of sells
government the Republican party and its
chosen managers are primarily response Die;
but the men who have taken Office th rough
such means and who are actually eXercis-
ing the power of the Government upon
such authority are scarcely less guilty than
they who conceived and executed this I'm
paralleled political swindle
The Fraudulent President and his adviS-
ers having undertaken to torsake the an,
cient ways of the Republican party; and
having invited Democrat and former
Rebel to occnpy one of the most important
offices in the Cabinet, propose to debauch
the honest public sentiment of the South
by the bestowal of Offices and by an enor-
nous system Of Government subsidies to
railroads and canals, hoping thus TO cons
plete in corruption the work begun in
fraud. At the same time with hypocrltic-
al pretences of reforming the civil service,
they llatter the vanity of Northern theorists
to the end that the great crime in which
this Administration is founded may be over
looked and coudoned.
Against this complex scheme, as against
the conspirators with whom it origin tied
we call upon the people to commence inns
mediately a campaign alike mercless and
pertinacous. We promise them that from
the beginning to the end THE SUN shall
rever be found laggard or timorous in this
holy crusade; and we invite new recruits
from every quarter tojoin in the movement.
To our old friends and readers, body
Of about million OF sous-the same nuns
| Der as the majority of white citizens who,
In November last, voted for Samuel j. Ills
den for President--we need only say that
we shall continue hereafter, as in the past,
to contend for honesty, real reform, econo-
my and justice in public affairs; and that
we shall still endeavor to supply all who
may consult our columns with careful, COM
plete aud trustworthy accounts Of current
events and news from every part of the
world, while from Washington especially,
our reports win continue to ce full, accu>
rate and fearless.

Gen. Grant was the only President
who took advantage Of the opportuni-
ties offered by his office to gather in
wealth. That wealth, if general re-
port is to be credited, has slipped away
from him through foolish and unlucky
speculations. Thus, if the stories are
true, he has lost both his reputation
and his money; and not one of those
who bought his favor with magnificent
gifts comes forward now to assist him

Nothing could be more creditable
thar the disposition shown by the
South Carolina authorities to restore
the credit Of that State. For years

IT is reported that in Difference to
the high position held by cxPresident
Grant, Queen Victoria will honor him
with a personal visit upon his arrival
i'll London. AS Grant was lawfully
elected and inaugurated President,
her Majesty's courtesy will be accept
ed as compliment by all citizens of
the United States. If, however, Mr..
Hayes should visit England after his
retirement from office, he might dis
cover that the moral judgment ofman-
kind touching his fraudulent tenure
of the Presidency is the same on both
sides of the Atlantic-N. J. Sun.
