Up TO the hour Of recess, last evening, the
democratic members Of Congress. in The ex-
pressiyc language OF Que OF them, were like
flushed c,yey Of cartridges" Each one saw
the danger that threatened himself and his
country, aud, though all wanted to avoid It,
none seemed to know exactly how such avoid
ance could Lc effected The near approach OF
The c)usummalioa OF The fraud by the lnaugu-
ration of Mr. Hayes seems to have paraIyzed
their efforts 1T resistance, and, like the despair
ing, reckless crew OF q sinking ship, instead Of
dcvotiug thcirromaii:iug energies TO staVlng OH
the impending ruin, they wasted them IN un-
necessary souabbles among themselves. We
seriously fear that the condition Of the party IN
Congress is q GORGE: reflex Of that in the coun'
try at large, for, though men who are actuated
by principle will continue to pursue the course
their consciousness approve, uumindlul oil the
distinctions thrown 10 their way, others, whose
ilnpeiiug motives are rot 50 high, are easily
turned aside, aud 50, many who have heretofore
ac,edwilh the party, will, We hear and believe,
gladly avail themselves OF the opportunity al
torded by lis present disorgaaizsd condition, ia
