THE MEETING OF CONGRESS.
On Monday next, Congress called in Ex-
ira Session, will assemble Ut the National
Capital. The moving cause Of the call was
to provide for deficiency in the Army ana
Navy appropriation bills, owing to dis
agreement Of tho two Houses at the last ses.
sion. 1t will be remembered that clause
was inserted in the bill rs it passed the
House Of Representatives providing that no
appropriation should BE- mado including
provision for troops quarscrei in the South
ern States for the support Of contestants for
disputed state administrations. The So.
nate would not agroo to this; the House
would not reccde; and SO the necessity
arose for future consideration Of the same
measures.
We presume the House will still couple
its proyiso to any similar bill. True. Mr..
Hayes has withdrawn all troops from the
South /; all disputes in relation to the cone
troll Of contested zovernments arc settled &
the only present use Of the army is duty on
the Mexican frontier, or the conflicts with
Indian tribes. But the principle upon
which the demand Of the House was made
is still impregnabie. and "a fundamental
principle, it Il as we'll worthy of assertion
and defence As when first announced.
Mr.. Hayes is all AVAILABILITY at present.
His pleasant words for the South, bis real
y efficient deeds 10 its favor. might disarm
apprehension for the return Of past tribula-
lions, did We not remember that with all
his fine phrases. Mr.. Hayes is still Repub.
lican, and has infinitely moro to lose BY G.,
nal severance from bis old party affiliations
than be has % expect BY junction with The
Democrats. These are the alternatives be-
:oro him. II he adopts the latter. he is
more readily caught with chaG than We sup
pose him to be. Even that portion Of the
press aud Of the politicians who most loud.
y applaud bis Southern policy, tl4irr to be
6rn IN their faith 70 tic Democratic party.
Il
They make no sign Of going oyer u Mr..
Hayes. And they have little hope d his
coming over to them. They know he i
wise enough TO remember from examples Of
which the worlds history gives enough. that,
while mon love the treason. they despisc
the traitor. lie must therefore remain .
Republican. and lie must como 10 obey
Republican discipline.
Now, il Is clear that tho leaders Of that
party are far from pleased with tho tender
handling Of tho South BY Mr.. Hayes. Il
is rebukc to all pat thoUries and practice,
and the efforts Of those leaders i. and will
be. u bring back tho Northern mind to it,
old aud natural way Of thinking. A cons
fession Of error i one Of the hardest things
TO wiring from the human mind least Of al.
is error to be admitted BY men who pride
themselves upon the erection Of q system
claimed 70 be fundamentally sound, and
who scorn 70 coucade u violation Of il un-
der the lead u one risou..to pre-elnincncc
