The Recognition Hampton Wants.
([hicago Times.]
There is not much favor among the Southern
people for the Hayes plan of a nt w election.
Wade Hampton denounces it as an insult to the
citizens of tiouth Carolina. He does not want to
be " recogniz.,d," he says, or patronized in any
way by the authorities at Wasbington. All he
demands is that the Federal soldiers who have
been so long employed in levying war upon the
p3aple in the interests of a crew of brigands shall
be st ut about their busi ,ess. As the lawlully

The Administration in a quandary About r
an Extra s sion.
A Deep Scheme of P chlur's, Whieh May
or May Not Work. I
[Speelal Correspondence N, 0. Democrat.]
WAmINITON#, March 14, 18717.
The Administration is in a state of mind about E
the extra session of Congress. There are several
reasons why Mr. Hayes wIhobs to avoid calling an
extra session if he possibly ca,, chief of which is
the fact that aborut half th9 Dl)cnucrats and near
ly all the Republicans in the next Homse dt not
want to be calleds hither in nidsunoimmr and be
precipitated into a long Tilperary fight for the
mpeakership under the brollic, nn uof a Washing
ton July. You ujuet know that it is the intention
to smash the cateas itn the nrext lous'. The
Senate caucus is as good as smnashed already and
among the pet pruojros of Mr. isljes is to have
b th ibranohies or (Jmgress free at lres, from ab
solute caucus rule. He regards the caucus s.s
temrn as antagonirtic to hiW scheme iof
CIVIl RERVICg REFURN
and is desirons that members and ~enators
shabould be freo at all tmes to so act upon ndividual
o rmvti'mn instead of being bourltt by a it etum
reso'ved upon int a caucus star chamber. He be I
lieves that by n. at December the policy lie has
inaugurated will hava so far broken the party
lites in the Mouth that it will be impossible for
the Democracy to control the organisation uf the
Iouse on th canines sysem, and that it will be- I
come possible to organi.e that body upon a com
posite basis, after the fashion of his Cabinet
whiobh, by the way, plenases him exceedingly thus
far. For these reasons Mr. Hayes is anitous to
avoid
OALLtWO M aN tnA arestoN.
But there is a difficulty. On the most econom
loal basis possible it will cost $8,000,000 to run the
army from the close of the present iscal year to
the first of January next, making all due allow.
anoe for the supplies of clothing, ordnance and
commissariat stores already on hand, and Mr.
Hayes feels a little uncertain as to the wisdom of
expending that large sum of money without due
warrant of law, particularly at the outset of an
administration which, to say the least, is strictly
on its good behavior before the country. There
would be no precedent for sunch action in the an
nals of the country, except a precedent set by
Morton when he was
" WAn OOVaRIOt " OF INDITAA.
Now, Mr. Hayes, who is a cautions man, hes-l
tates at the proposition which some of his ad
visers are urging upon him, to tide the army
over till next January on a deficiency, which can
be currently met only by either borrowing money
on Treasury warrants unauthorized by law, or
by drawing on appropriations voted for other
purposes, which would be equally Illegal and
revolutionary. And Mr. Hayes is a man of too
sound sense and too cool judgment not to discern
that his administration exists under auspices
peculiarly unfavorable to any action admitting
of ornstruction as revolutionary or high-banded;
even were he naturally disposed to such meas.
ures, which he is not.
In view of these conflioting considerations our
President,who was counted in. is, as I said before,
in a
PROFOUND STATh or MINI).
On the one hand he thinks that it would be noth
leg more than business-like and practical to
carry the army over upon the general resources
of the Treasury, and then have Congress kiadly
allow his little deflcieney at the beginning of
next regular session. But, on the other hand he
is perplexed by the troublesome question, Could
the people be made to understand the patriotism
of his motives, and eppreciate the honesty of his
Intentions? Or would they not be disagreeably
whooped up by the opposition press to believe
that he had been guilty of illegally causing the
feunds of the United State to be divertedI from
their authorizad uses and of "maintainiug a
standing army in time of peace without the con
sent of Parliament," a crime which once cost an
English king his head and which subsequently
cost another his throne. For my own part
I think Mr. Hayes might try the experiment of
expending seven or eight millions on the army
Swithout due process of law, that is to say, pro
vided he wants to test the sense of the country
on that point. He might wake up next Decem
b her to find that the handful of bummer politi
cians who are advising such a policy merely be
cause it suits their personal convenience, do not
accurately ripresent the temper of the country.
That is a good deal of money to sp nd on an
army in time of peace, without sanotion of law.
But perhaps the experiment is worth trying.
There are signs that among the experi ents to
be introduced in the way of Civil Service Reform
by this wonderful regine Is that or reforming the
patronage of the State of New York. That is to
Ssay, the friends of Mr. Conkling are to be re
formed out and the adherents of Mr. Fenton--or
those who are willing to be hired to become his
adherents-are to be reformed in. And this, 1
am told, is to be done at the statesmanlke in
r sanoe of Mr. tchurz, who, by the way, d.,es tnot
like Mr. Oonklini, and who is enamored of Mr.
Fenton. I think I can understand the secret of
this preference. Mr. Dans calls Mr. Shobnrz the
"Flying Dutchman" of politics; and everybody in
New York knows 1Mr. Fenton as the
great political peddler of Yankee iotions
and wooden untmegs. iBut there is this
essential difference between lchnrz and Finton:
Nchurs always makes his great flting leans in
pursunit of an idea-with an ofice attached, while
Fenton taxes his long p:olitical pilgrimages in
purent of an office, witlhou any ideal attach.
ment. Now, as a native of New York, and as an
Soriginal Repubhcan in the polita'c of that State, I
can give his Excellenoy a few hints. Mr. Fenton
has frequently slid into ofli'e through the back
hoor of a caucus, and by virtue of patronage.
The people of New YTrk have frequently woke up
in the morning to find that Fenton had
slid into office liko a greased el
over night and unbeknownst to them. Then, as
soon as the people of New York have discovered
that Fenton has stolen in upon them they have
gone to work to
RAILROAD nIX OUT.
And they have always succeeded in doing it.
I understand the otject of this peculiar develop
ment cf Oivil Service Reform is to enable Mr.
enton to captar. the BSea mhbip at the ezxpir

Lion, married him retretly fr professional re.

men of that city gave a supper. Among the
company wees Mr. Byrnes sad a weil-known
writer who has since removed to New York, and
who at that time was living on lntimate terms
with a Miss taigely, then very well known in
thi- city, and who bore a striking likeness to
Miss Heron.
While the wine and cigars were circulating,
the gentleman referred to to ,k from his p eket
Miss ltilnrly's ploture, and at the ste e time ex
plained her charaoter, but without disclosing her
name. Those present assumed it to be the por

turned pale with grief and rage, believing this a
proof of his wfr,'s itfldellty and the true reason
of her refusal to in arry h ptn licl . Hoe hastily

On receiving the letter poor Miss Heron was
thanderstruck. It was a long time before she
discovered the cause of her hnsbanr's strange
behavior, and then she wrote to the journalist a
letter, which to still iun oistenoe, begging him to
repair the injury which he had unwittingly done

gotne too far for a reconciliation, and Miss Heron

reputed wealthy. It appears Pike and his wife
have been rooming i J.lnes' blildidg this winter

have caused the trouble.
Pike al~eges as a reason for the killing that
Joues seduced bit wife, and he praduces a o n

Pike confirms her husband's story, but friends of
the deceased declare he was incapable of the
crime. Alu the parties involved are spiritualiste,
and the affair causes considerable eotement.
