Great excitement prevails among the friends of
the River and Harbor bill to-day, in consequence
OF the Presidents veto of the measure II is not
generally known that this is the fact, but the veto
Is written, although it will not be sent in until
Tuesday. Last night and this morning several
Western members of both Houses called on the
President, to enquire as to the fate of the BILL
His answer was that he had not examined it, At
this time the veto was written You may recollect
that few days before the passage of the Tariff
bill, an article appeared in the administration
gan, commencing and approving the Harbor and
River bill. This was designed to catch the West
ern members, and il succeeded. they thinking the
article was written in good faith and that the bill
would receive the Executive sanction. The Ia
riff bill was passed-'he obiecl was attained-and
DAY or two ago, the same organ contained an
article condemnatory of the River and Harbor
Dill. AS stated before, the veto is already writ
ten, 1t will not be sent in, however, until Tues
day next. The reason for this is obvious The
bill passed the Senate by two third vote and two
over-34 TO l6-and there is ssibility of its be-
coming law, by two-third vote Of both houses
members are leaving for home, and consequently
the probability of the passage Of the bill on Joint
ballot will be daily diminished | of course, make
no comment. There is a firm determination on
the part Of the friends OF the measure, to poll
every available vote in order TO upset the veto.-
There IS probability that they will succeed.
The Senate has just Is o'clock) passed the Con-
sttutonal Treasury bill by strict party vote of
rs TO 70. The bill as it passed the House has been
subjected to some amendments. The Warehouse
bill has passed the House to-day without altcra-
ton or amendment, and awaits but the signature
OF the President to become a law.
/ hope the private calendar will be taken up
next week, and some relief given to the many
who have been for years clamoring for justice at
the doors of Congress. Mr.. Hannegan stated to-
day III his place IN the Senate, that there were
numbers who, to his own knowledge, had been
IN this city for the last eight months under great
expense, and whose cases had not been as yet
reached. This is really hardship. There is
time enough in any long session to reach all the
private bills, provided the time be economical
For long years some OF those applicants have been
in restless expectation concerning their claims,
and session after session passes by and still they
without a remedy for their grievances.
The friends OF the Tariff bill are in the
best possible humor with themselves and all the
world. They predict the most glorious results to
the prosperity of the country, from the operation
OF that measure. They expect these res ults to
make themselves apparent before the expiration
Of twelve months. / trust il may be So How
ever that may be, as the bill has now passed into
a law, let us give it a good trial. There is use
in clamoring about it now. GALvIENsIs.
