WASHINGTON. May 6.-The President has issued
his proclamation calling for the extra session Of
Congress on Oct. 10. II is as follows
Hy ne President Of ne United states Of Ameriea
Of the NLIVth Congress, without making tue usual
appropriation for the support of the army Tor the Scal

vested in him by the Constitution to convene the houses
OF Congress IN anticipation OF the day hXed by law Tor
Now therefore, l. Rutherford b. Hayes President 81
the United States do by OF the power To This end
IN me vested by the Constitution convene both houses or
Congress TO assemble at their respective chambers 10 II
o'clock noon Monday, the 1jtn day OF October next,
then ana there to consider ana determine such measures
as in their wisdom their duty and the welfare OF the eo-
pie may seem 10 demand.
In witness whereof have herpunfo set my hand and
caused the seal Of the United states to be aiiNed
Done at the City OF Washington This 9th day of Nay in
the year Of our Lord ST. and indie peudcucc
the United states Of America the lOlst. ,,.,.u.
WM. NJ. EyAETs, Secretary OF state.
Secretary Evarts has expressed regret at the post
ponemcnt of the session of Congress one account
only, and that is because it prevents action by the
Government in reference to the French Exhibition
Of 1873 Nothing can be done by the President or
by the Secretary of State toward creating a commits
sion or accepting the invitation of the French Gov
eminent to JON in that exhibition without the au-
thority of Congress- and even if such authority
should be given in October is doubtful il sufficient
time would then remain in which to arrange an
American department in that exhibition. II is pos
sible that the President may address commit
nication TO the French Government through
its representative here expressive of his APP
proval of the exhibition, and explaining the reason
why we cannot officially accept their invitation.
WLilp Soma politiciaug auDrpyp and others 1i.aD-
prove of the action of the Administration in post
ponng the extra session until October, it is notice
able fact that in army circles the change is received
with very much more favor than it otherwise might
have been, because the officers particularly are CON
WINGED that the postponem"nt Of the session renders
legislation hostile TO the army and TO their OWN
positions less probable.
