pondents say on the subject:
The indications are that the anticipated
veto will be succeeded by violent outbursts
in Congress- Many of the extreme Radicals
feel that they are cornered here, and they
want to get home to influence the people by
stump speeches. They will probably pro-

Stockton's case, (which would give them two
thirds of the Senate) Mr.. Fessenden has
been quite active since Friday.-AIpha in
Baltimore Sun.

The Second Comptroller of the Treasury
has decided that the claims against the gov
eminent of persons domiciled in the South
ern States before and during the war, now
