Frinds of Mr.. Hayes, now freely adj
nit his mistake in not calling the eX-
ira session last month, and that he
realizes it himself. Abundant time
has thus been afforded the sOreheads
to interchange opinions and form
their plans of attack on the Admins
tration, and all disappointed office
seekers will readily take up the hue
and cry of the leaders in the revolt,
and should the tall elections result
disastrously to the Republican party,
the blame will be saddlcd on the
shoulders OF Hayes, which will no
doubt strengthen the radical oppose
ton to him.
IMMUNITY FOR THE RETURNING BOARD.
The report that there was some
formal agreement for the immunity
of Wells and Anderson, between Mr..
Hayes and Governor Nichols, is en-
phatically denied in Administration
circles here, as no such agreement
could be binding, there being no one
with the right and power to make
such contract. The belief seems to
have been drawn from remark of
Mr.. Hayes that he looked upon 1t as
an ihdefensible violation OF faith. We
