RECEPTION OF THE VETO MESSAGE.

RECEPTION OF THE VETO MESSAGE.
| WASHINGTON, March 27-The leading editoria
in Saturdays Intelligeneer, known to have beer
wholly, or in part written by the party who furn
ished the legal argument of the message, has sc
well prepared the public for the points which tn,
President would urge against the civil rights bill
that there was less interest in hearing the veto
message, to-day. than in hearing that on the freed
mems bureau bill. The galleries of the Senate
were well filled to hear any chance debate which
might i arise.
The message came in at one o'clock, and lay
upon the table four hours, while the Stockton case
was pending, and long before that time it had beer
circulated through the Chamber, and read by suci
Senators and Representatives as were disposed tc
look through it. ~
After it had been formally read by Col. Forney,
the Presidents special friends sought to force ar
adjournment. This, however. was resisted by the
majority, who meant to pass the bill over the veto
| tonight A call of the yeas and nays revealed
the fact that Messrs. Grimes and kirkwood had
| left the Chamber. This left the Union men with
out sufficient strength, and they were consequently
! obliged to adjourn.
| The bill will come up tomorrow, and Judge
Trumbull will probably review the message a,
| some length. But for the absence of the Iowa
Senators, the measure would unquestonably have
| been put through tonight Its friends are conf
dent that it will receive the necessary vote to-mor

THE NEW JERSEY sENAToRsHIP. s
The New Jersey Senatorial case occupied nearly
the whole of the session of the Senate again to-
day. and the long and closely contes,edfght ended
III MIR. Stockton being unseated. The first ques-
ton arising was the motion of Mr. johnson of Mary
land to postpone the further consideration of the
subject until Thursday. The speeches upon this
were quite brief and the real struggle began after
its rejection, when Mr.. Clark, of New Hampshire,
moved to amend the Judiciary Committees reso-
luton us to declare Mr.. Stockton not entitled to
seat. On this motion to amend, Mr.. Stockton made
speech over two hours in length, going over the
whole history of the case, and reiteratiug the
guments which had before been so often repeated
that no one listened to them EayF
The motion to amend was carried by % to 81,
and Mr.. Stockton, putting on his coat, shook the
dust Of the Senate Chamber from his boots and
left the Capitol in disgust. The amendment reso-
luton was then adopted by precisely the same
vote, when Mr.. Riddle, Of Delaware, changed his
vote from the negative to the affirmative, in order
blocked, however, by Mr.. Clark moving a recon
sideration at once, and the Senate voted it down.
30 Mr.. Stockton must remain excluded from the
Senate until he secures a legal election. The
evident purpose of Mr.. Stockton's friend, in his
effort to postpone action, was to secure the vote
Of Mr. Stockton in support of the Presidents veto.
Its well known here that the health of Sfr. Wright
IS such that he cannot return to the Senate for
long time, if ever, and the attempt to tie Mr..
Morrill, indefinitely on the strength of his pledge
to Mr.. WTightWaS notable instance of effrOntery.
