Mr.. Iayes's Chances for the Republican

Tho Fool hunter has made several i'm
portant captures recently, but he seems TO

cratic majority in Congress should be pro-
longcd, a now issue, which it terms Presi-
dent coercion" might come TO tho front
bringing HAYES into great prominence as q
candidate Tor the next Republican nomina-
tion.
The Springfield Rcpublicdn newspaper
which Is never designodly humorous, thinks
that the veto of the Army Appropriation
bill has given "a great impetus to the
project of renominating Mr., HAYES in 1880"
II names over what it considers his peculiar
qualifications for Office chief among which
it mentions the fact that no is reported to
have written the veto message himself
without any assistance from Mr.. EyARTs or
w. X. RoGERs, or even from his former
business partner, LIE DUO. This surprising
and unexpected display of intellectual re-
sources, together with his talent for pro-
serving an importulbable serenity" when
kicked and cursed by tho men who put him
into tho White House, has, according to the
Rcpublicdn, suddenly opened the eyes OF the
Republican leaders, so that many who have
hitherto scoifed at Mr. HAYES as n spineless
jackass are now "eagor to take him for a

shown that Mr.. HIATT allowed deceptive

them up, clearly no was not Mt for his place
In that company, and is not at fer his place
In the Indian Bureau. The cautious sug-
gestion which Mr.. BoHURz so Indignantly
resented. was not that Mr.. HAYT as Com
missioner had knowingly done wrong, but
that he was imposed upon by those who did
and that he then backed up the wrong
doors. II Mr.. HAYT's name hos been used
in defrauding the Jersey City families Of
their earnings, 1t will no longer appear 80
monstrous as Mr.. SCHURz declared, 70 be-
lieve that his name and place have also been

The fact that he belongs to the Fraudulent
Administration Is hard fact to reconcile
with the theory that he is intrlnsically an
honest man.

The Troubles of Commissioner nayt.

The indictment OF Indian Commissioner
HAYT, in mis- capacity as President OF the
international Trust Company Of Jersey
City, for false and fraudulent statements in
regard to the solvency Of that company,
might perhaps excite less attention but for
the enormous putting which CARL SCHURZ
has given TO the head Of the Indian Bureau.
or course, the Hudson County Grand Jury,
In its action Of Wednesday last, did not In
any manner connect Mr.. HAYT's peculiar
banking in Jersey City with the same gen
tlemans function as an ornament OF the
Fraudulent Administration. All that the
Grand Jury cared to know was that, appar-
emily, by false and fraudulent representa-
tons Of the assets Of his company, de-
signed to attract the savings OF people who
wished to put them in secure place, he
had made himself liable, on conviction, to
penalty Of two years Imprisonment at hard
labor and 500 fine, imposed under the New
Jersey criminal code.
When Mr.. CARL ScHURz took up, last win
ter, with such an outburst Of outraged
virtue, SHERIDAEs suggestion that the
Indian Bureau was not all that it should be,
he dwct particularly on the strict business
principles and rigid adherence TO law which
he said had been introduced into the civil
service under the Fraudulent regime. Now,
undcr this Administration" he wrote, " the
thieves are at last on their way 10 the peni
tentiary, dishonest or incompetent agents
are held TO account and dismissed without
mercy the Ring men and fraudulent claim
ants unite in n chorus Of curses against the
Interior Department and struggle to get
out Of its clutches, the leaks and oppor-
tunitcs for fraud and pcculation are stopped
one after another by effective business re-
forms, and overy possible effort is fearlessly
made TO raise the service TO a proper level
OF honesty and efficiency" The Grand Jury
writes curious comment on this pancgyrlc,
when it indicts as n fraud, and n maker and
publisher Of frauds, that very one of iAYEsS
officers whose administration formed the
basis of Mr.. CARL SCHUR2's fro'hy rhetoric.
The grayamen Of tho offence charged
against HAYr seems to be that he pub
lished slips Of colored paper containing the
assertion that the company Of which he WAS
President is the only savings bank in the
State with paid up capital OF 100000 for
the security Of depositors." On the other
side OF the slip was yard measure, marked

Grand Jury deliberate and fraudulent lie,

10 prove that this fraudulent representation
was concocted by Mr.. llAYT himself after
consulting with Secretary CARR and Director
FIELD. Undoubtedly Mr., HAYT. though the
fact that he serves the Fraudulent Admin

against him, is entitled to suspension Of

This is the season when the great religious
societies take an account Of stock on hand

gains for the year, 1t is proper that they

man life. He went to work with promptitudo
and energy. He shot one man dangerously
