WASHINGTON, D. c., February %, 1866.
This city has been agitated by political excite
nent since Monday morning, the date Of the recer
ton Of the Presidents veto message. It wa
thought that the accumulation Of business at TIL
White House would have delayed this event unit

the Executive consideration Of any Congressional

Y President johnson was therefore surprise to the
public. Late on Sunday night messengers were
\ dispatched 70 the residences Of Cabinet officers
calling them to special meeting on the morrow
and 1t this meeting the President obtained the
opinions Of his advisers on the veto message
Seward, McEulloch and Weles supported the Elk

favored the bin. A copying clerk was soon OBJ
tanned from the State Department, and before
Yates, Of Illinois, had concluded his violent har
angue, he was interrupted by the arrival o.

Witnesses Of the great field encounter at the
capitol. Foreign ministers, the principal members
Sof the House and forty-seyen Senators were
present on the floor negroes, soldiers, large
number Of ladies, officers Of the diplomatic corps,
government appointees and citizens Of the District
