WASHINGTON, April 6.
Probable Passage of the Civil Rights
BtlI Over the Presidents Veto.
Senator Trumbull and his friends are confident
that the Civil Rights bill will be passed over the
veto this evening. Mr.. Stewart and Mr.. Wiley
have both pledged themselves to vote for it, and
it is believed that Mr.. poolittle under the unani
nous demand of the Legislature of his State,
will have to vote for the bill or absent himself
from the Senate to-day. AS the matter now
stands, with Senators Wright and Nixon well
enough to attend the Senate, there will be SO
votes for the passage over the veto, and l6
against. Senator Trumbull's canvass this morn
ing shows the following Senators favorable to
the bill, with possibilities in favor of obtaining
one or two others:-Foster, Trumbull, Conness,
Yates, Grimes, Pomeroy, Lane, Morrill,, Fessen-
den, Sumner, Wilson, Cresswell, Chandler, How
ard, Ramsey, Norton, Brown, Henderson, Nye,
Stewart, Clark, Cragin, Harris Sherman, Wade,
Williams, Sprague, Morgan, Anthony, Poland,
Edmonds, Wiley, and Howe-33. 1t is believed
that not more than Is Senators will be found
voting to sustain the Presidents veto.
The New Jersey senatorshtp.
| Several kilograms were received here yester-
day from Trenton, announcing that the De-
| mocrats have agreed to coalesce with Scovel,
and enough Republicans to elect Dayton, ON
written pledges that he will sustain the policy
Of the President. 1t is claimed that this trade
has been brought about by Judge Hughes, of
Indiana, and Ward II. Lamon, who went to
| Trenton to represent the President. This bargain
and sale will probably be opposed by Mr.. Stock.
| ton, who expects to be his own sue
cessor. 1t is well known here that not
a single Radical Republican Senator or
member has any longer any confidence in Mr..
Scovel, and none believe that any radical ideas
are prompting himIto his present course. He is
openly denounced by Mr.. Stevens as being guilty
OF great outrage in opposing the election of
Mr.. Cattell. A leading Democratic Senator yes
terdaY was handing around the Senate tele-
gram from Trenton urging him to secure a delay
OF the vote until they could get into joint ballot
and elect man who would be for the veto.
This unexpected turn of affairs created sensa-
tiop, and the Opposition are quite jubilant over
their prospects.
The Currency Pictures.
Thayer's amendment to the Treasury Appro-
priation bill, TO prevent the face of one Clark
from defacing the currency, was lost because OF
the difficulty in making new plates for all living
men who are now engraved. Had it been simply
striking out Clark no one would have objected.
The Committee on Banking have a bill for that
especial purpose drawn and ready to report.
The Canal Nuisance.
The Washington Canal, which for anumber of
years has exhaled its noxious efluvia, and
caused, according to the opinion of the medical
fraternity here, large amount of mortality,
has at last been pronounced q nuisance by q
competent Board of United States Engineers,
who recommend to Congress the adoption of I'M
mediate measures to secure the thorough exca.
walton of the filth of which it has so long been
the depository The estimate of the Commits
sion for cleaning the canal is $4,000,
