THE UNITED STATES.
THE FREEDMEN'S BUREAU BILL.
A letter from Washington, of the 16th, says

The action of Congress this afternoon on the veto of the
Freedmen's Bureau Bill was as prompt and decisive as
anyone could have wished. The presidential objec-
tions reached the house at half-past 2, and three
hours later the bill had become a law by a
two-thirds vote of each branch. In the house
Mr. Eliot, who originally reported the bill, proposed to put
the veto over till to-morrow, and ask action without debate
at 1 o'clock. But Mr. Le Blond sneeringly remarked that
action had better be bad at once, as to-morrow might
be too late. " Agreed, agreed ; now, now ; go on
at once," responded a score of gentlemen on the
republican aide. " Yes, go on now," said Le Blond, as
he sat down. The house took Mm at his word and
immediately sustained the demand for the previous
question. After this had been done, Rogers rose in a
state of great excitement to debate the bill, and wits
greeted with shouts of derisive laughter as the Speaker
told him be was too late. There was some excitement
on the Boor and in the galleries during the calling of
the roll, and very hearty clapping of hands on the an-
nouncement that the bill had readved the requisite
two-thirds vote. During the cell excuses were
made for a considerable number of absent mem-
bers, and Phil Johnson essayed to be witty by
remarking that a good many more voted aye now
than would do so the next Congress. An examination of
the vote-103 yeas, 33 nap--shows the names of Messrs.
Raymond, Koykendall, Phelps and Washburn of Indiana,
elected as republicans, in the negative, with those of Hale
of New York, Thomas of Baltimore, McKee and Randall
of Kentucky, and the three West Virginia members in the
affirmative.
