WAsmNGIoN, May Tt seemed az one time pos
sIblc that the President might Issue proclmat"n'
which would have been an international surprise,
in the place of that po,tponing the extra SESSION.
The subject was two three times seriously as
cussed i'm Cabinet whether it mi-ht moi be "ir.
patriotic and cXpedielt to decline TO call an extra
session of Congress altogether and to permit Use
army to- be disbanicd. The argument of the AicH-
b.r, Of ihc Cabinet who favored tins plan was SUB
stantiaily this: Congress by It's action III refusing
a appropriation had expressed lis opinion thal jhe
army was not needed; that il woHld be becoming Ia
the Executive 10 recognize this opinion and give IL
its full force; that tie country was in state OF
profound peace and about to enter upon Il
new era Of prosperity; that tn real the
orv of the American Republic is that among It's
citizens are enough able, welcondltionei oOeulehl'
loyal men, ready at any moment to spring TO the de-
f.nse Of the country at the tap of the drum; that
the Governors of the frontier Srates are quite Viii
ing aud able to protect their frontiers without
tbo army: that there Is 10 national cXgcucy winch

is ~, Ioaev to pay Tor It's support aud Congress mas
nor Thought its services necessary, the President
would inform the army that under the laws he las
no service for them do, AID that far aa the IN

ported by rs good IA lawyer as ChciJusticc Cartier
OF the Supreme Court of the DistIic and 1t is Sai'1
that vote even was taken upon il ia Cabinet ana
that at least three of those present heartily favored
it. While other, could not consent, il was argued
that under the law and the Constitution, IN view OF
the action Of Congress, such proceeding on the
mart of the Executive would certainly have been
regular. and doubtless would have received The "p-
