This ' summary is enough to convince ji3 that Uie .message is n plausible document. We have not yet been informed who prepared it, but it is a much more able" and ingenious paper than the message accompanying the iprraer veto, it is a -tissue bf sophistry, it is true, but it was not expected that Mr. Hayes would meet the issue fairly. It uxts expected, that he would dodge the real point in controversy, and, following the examr ple set him in Congress, lug mextran'e ous matter and deal in platitudes and fine-spun theories.

Another issue, deliberately made up, will enter into al become, a lead inwtIoif$rthe cajnpaigJi of 1880- whether the President of the United States shall have he jwwer to station troops at the polling places to superin tend the conduct there 'of his masters, the people.

The Democrats in Congress have by this time learned that they may expect no concessions from Mr. Hayes in their efforts tureHestablish , the purity and the freedom of the ballot. They have conceded to him 11 that they peuld con cede coWstentl i with tlleir declared purpose in the beginning, and nothing has been accomplished. We are just where we were when the extra session ' of Congress "began iwp;i' months ago; indeed, we are, if there is any difference, a little farther -effthan we jthen were, from the 'fruition of bur purposes to this extent: that Mr. Hayes was never ' in his life so: stalwart' a Republican as he is to-day.

With the House Host in three-coiisecUveicontestsVwith the Senate lost and, with a popular ma jority of a Quartet of 6 million f against the Republicans in the last .residential struggle, it requires no prophetic pow ers to point the inevitable and early success of some form of opposition to the demoralised Republicanisms pff to day and wheii that victory; shall be acliieved, as it soon must be i achieved despite bayonets visiting statesmen and returning boards, who shall then complain if tlie new victors summon the bayonet to perpetuate Republican defeat? If the positions of parties were reversed, and the Democrats , had, the government, the Republican leaders who are calling for bayonet elections, would resist such authority in Demo cratic hands to the uttermost even to civil revolution.

Failuhe to Freeze Out Fever. Recently, it will be remembered, the United States steamship Plymouth, on board of which there were several cases of yellow fever last summer, started to the tropics, after having wintered in Boston harbor and been frozen and dis infected, when the fever again mani fested itself. Experts have just now concluded an investigation of the steam ship, and, as the result, give the start ling opinion that the. vessel is still in fected with the fever germ and will be until rebuilt. If this opinion is confirmed if, indeed, it needs any confirmation it destroys another theory in reference to the yellow fever, aiid Congressional ac tion, with a view to freezing, the fever out. by the Gamgee process or other wise, goes for naught. We make acknowledgement to Hons. Geo. H. Pendleton, of Ohio, and R. F Armfield and J, Ji Davis, of North Car olina, for public documents. Kitchin and Russell will keep' bh at their foolishness till somebody will get hurt yet. 1UU11 8 HAIDERS. Report of Internal Revenue Commis sioner of Operations in the South. Washington, May 13.
