WASHINGTON, March 27, 1865.
VITO OF THE CIVIL RIGHTS BILL--THE CASE OF
SENATOR STOCKTON.
This has been ono OF the exciting days yet expe-
snced during the present session OF the Senate. The
interest manifested in the Stockton and the antic
patton Of the Presidents veto Of the Civil Rights bill
a1sacted crowded attendance not only the galleries.
bat also large representation OF distinguished gentle
men on the noor Az early as bafpast eleven o'clock
fully snshaK Of the seats in the galleries already
arsd, and by the time the Senate was called 10 order
sAere was little room le for the large numbers con.
Nnuug TO arrive By one O'Clock several OF the doors
n the galleries wore closed and the admission OF visitors
shut on.
Dub.s the morning hour q bill was introduced by
senaior Docshtle, which, is said the whole
around takcn by the President the important ques
tsons now agating the country Senator Stewart also
broughtin bill - o substitute to the he intro
Auced some days ago.
Al one O'Clock the Stockton up. and great
sGsst made by the genteman's friends 10 effect a
poetponemcnt During this controversy, at quarter
past one, message from the President Of the United
States announced This information prompted n
general leaning forward In the galleries and sudden
stilines pervaded the whole chamber. Evscy one
listened with the utmost eagcrncss to catch the words OF
tho bearer Of the message Colonel Moore, privsGe
announced To tho Senate that the President
Of the United States returned the bill protecting citizens
IN their civil rights with his objections thereto in writ
ing Az might be expected-the impression having
bcen previously formed in the public mind that the bill
would be vetoed-nobody appeared much surprised,
though there apparently ardent curiosity to hear
che objections The curious, however, were doomed TO
o serious delay. No the message received
BY the Speaker than the conflict the pcsponement Of
the Stockton resumed. and when pushed 10 a
vote was lost Mr.. Stockton himself took the floor
and consumed two hours and half In reading hla
argument In vindicailon Of his claims to his seat
During this speech the arrival of the veto came
the Of the members OF the House Of Representa-
Gives and attracted large attendance upon the floor Of
che Senate Ansr waiting about hour a member
fn privately announcing unookedfor operations
IN the other end OF the building. when general STAN
pede Of members took place look after their in
serests When Mr. stockton took his cross-nre Of
amendments and motions 10 postpone came mp and

Mr. stowarL II I've O'Clock, and silil furtheI
efforts wcrc made renew the discussion, but without
avail Several members here moved 10 adjourn, but tn
will Of the Senate 70 the contrary.
The reading Of the Presidents objections 10 the civi
Rights bill was ip order and the Message stene,
ing the radicals for pushing the question
OF passing the bill the veto, and for line affair
looked stormy but the elements OF opposition soo
dispeIlcd wnen understood thai Senator's Crime
and Kirkwood by the irresistible attacks o
che inner man, had gone Oh 10 dinner The further con
alteration of the question therefore postponed uni
so.monow.
Amer the adjournment .of the House Of Representa-
elves large number OF members again made their ap

Minister; Freeman Clark, Judge swaype Of the Unite
States Supreme Court, and Major Morrow we're als

The radicals are exceedingly sanguine of beng able
pas the Civil Rights bill over the veto They caln
that they could have accomplished that result night
