WASHINGTON May 26.-At the start Of his
Administration Hayes feared inquiry. To
avoid IT he set the Constitution at naught and
refused to call Congress for three months and
ahnlf. Hayes now fears tho result OF inquiry.
He IS again anxious to have Congress away from
Washington. To secure its first absence he put
the Treasury to the cost of I'm army eus-
.tained contrary to law. To secure its
adjournment now the Administration is
willing to open the Treasury TO every
Job. The plan Is clear. The Senate resolution
providing for an adjournment on June 10
comes before the House on Wednesday next
II tho resolution can be passed two things fol.
low: the Appropriation bill must be hastily
passed. and every job will have its separate
chance In the rapid rush OF business. Neither
the Sundry Civil nor tho General Deficiency
bils-bills in which any JOB can be inserted. and
in which many jobs always are-have not yet
been introduced into the House. II their dis
cussion proceeds under tho certainty that
their passage must bo reached by June
10. careful consideration will be impossi-
bic. The other Appropriation bills which
block the way in all stages. from a conference
committee report to their first consideration in
Committee of the Whole must OF necessity be
taken up. considered rapidly. and crowded
through at all hazards. More than all. in this
rush and hurry inbs flourish and the time of
advantage can be- taken Of the six days before
the close of a session allowed by the rules
within which the rules can be- suspended and
any job passed. These make the passage OF the
senate resolution tns week dangerous. They
make combination In its favor easy. To secure
! adjournment without regard TO its effect
on the Treasury or on legislation. efforts have
| been made to make this combination. There ia
| too much reason to tenr that these efforts have
| been successful II Is the belief OF some promi-
| nent Democrats that twenty votes have already
| been secured through whom this resolution can
! be passed. Add to the men Interested in Jobs
| and those who live by careless legislation some
Southern Democrats who have shared in the
! patronage Of the Administration and now fear
! two things-irst. that their patronage will be
| takcn away. ami second. that its b.stowal will be
made known-and 1t is plain that 1t
| might be easy. to command more than
! twenty votes which proposes to relieve Hayes of
the presence 81 Congress at "A critical Juncture.
! This HAYES wants. For five months az least he
would be secure from any impeachment The
| inquiry would proceed without the presence OF
| Congress to enforce the attendance of wit
nrssos. His Secretary and his Minister. ono
| his party agent In Louisiana and the other in
| Florida-Sherman and Noyes-will be secure
| from all punishment until December. for such
| share in the frauds in those States as may be
| proved home to them. 1t is not strange hard
| work should be done To make this combination.
| 1t ought To- be prevented. No Democrat can
| afford to vote for it,
