The Veto Messages.

NEW YORK, March 1.-The Times special
says: No part of the Reconstruction veto
message was prepared until Wednesday,
and it was not completed until last night.
The reports of the Cabinet considering it
op Tuesday are unfounded. The message
will be read by the Cabinet to-day noon,
and Immediately thereafter sent to Con-
gress. The veto of the Tenure of Office bill
will be sent in on Saturday. s5f a. ~.
The necessary papers having been laid
before the President, it is probable Nebras-
ka will be represented in the 10th Congress
as State. s ..-,. -...
The Bill for Relief of IrOnc1ad Con-
e5s-i tractors. f.,. ga .
The Tribune's special says: The confer
ence committee on reimburSing ironclad
contractors have agreed to the House
amendments to the Senate bill, which sends
the whole matter to the Secretary of the
Navy and virtually ends all hopes of relief
to contractors. a . a-f -.s
why the VetOis Held Back.
The opinion prevails that the President is
holding back his veto of the Reconstruct
tion bill so that the Democrats may fill
buster the bill to death when the message
appears. #'e $50

Louisianians in Washington say if the
Reconstruction bill becomes a law, Gov.

remodel the Constitution and have Louis

sible. -.i"

sorbing all the profits. s-.r .-+
RumOrs i'm Regard to Cabinet
| .-. Changes
l. The Herald's special says: There was a
rumor in Washington last night that the
President contemplates a clean sweep of
his Cabinet, with but one exception. 1t is
said Judge Black is to become Secretary of
State. The one exception is Judge STAN
berry, Attorney General.
. Oh, Get Out! s- s.1
A gentleman who has been member of
the Cabinet, and who served as a General
! in the rebel army, now in Washington,
says the President at first intended to sign
the Reconstruction bill, but afterwards
changed his mind and thought he would
| pocket it, in accordance with the advice of
the elder Blair. Again, afterwards he said
he would veto it, and the message would
be strong loyal document. The gentle
man is of opinion that Mr.. johnson is to-
tally incapable to fill the position he Occu-
4 pies, as he is too much under the control
of his Cabinet and one or two outside rings,
and he firmly believes the President would
have signed the bill had it not been tor the
influence of MIR. Seward and MIR. McCul-
loch. .... -.-8.
