Nashville union and American. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1868-1875, 1874-04-26

to question regarding the probable policy
the infiationists would adopt in the emer-
gency, Mr.. Logan said he would not speak
Tor his associates, but that personally he
was for war. 1t had been his fate to op-
pose every Administration since he had
been a member of Congress, and he was
ready for a break with the present one.
The above is fair sample of the great
Senator's conversation to-day.
oGLEsBY Is UNCOsDfUNIcATTvE.
Senator Oglesby says very little one way
or the other, and thus far during his career
in the Senate Mr.. Oglesby has been over
shadowed by his colleague, in whose trail
he has followed with passive patience. He
IS on intimate terms with the President,
and, it is thought, may take this opportu-
nifty to declare his independence Of Logan.
SENATOR sCHURZ,
when the proper time arrives, will be found
among the sincere defenders Of the Presi-
dent. He is delighted with the tone Of the
message. and frankly commends it as the
great act of Grants political life.
THE HON. c. u. FARwELL Is PERFECTLY
SERENE.
He never liked the Senate bill, and was
only induced to cast his vote for ii at the
earnest solicitation of Senators Logan ana
Morton. Mr.. Farwell has great hopes that
the Senate Finance Committee will Origi-
nate some measure that will give satisfac-
ton to both sides in the present contest.
OTHER ILLINOIS REPRESENTATIVES,.
The Hon. G.. L. Fort, of the Eighth llli-
nOis District, mildly protests against the
veto, and expresses apprehensions for the
party in the West.
The Hon. John B. Rice, the solitary Illi-
nois member who voted against the vetoed
bill, does not exult in the hour of victory;
however, he appears to take a quiet salts
faction in the knowledge that he is the only
man of his entire delegation who called
the turn, as it were, on the President.
CARPENTER READY FOR VIOLENT MEAS
URES.
Senator Carpenter, usually placid and
serene, was not in pleasant mood to-day.
Having given up all hope Of being returned
to the Senate at the end of his present
term, he is in humOr for mischief, and
may be counted on to follow Logan, should
the latter make break from the Grant
party.
THE IOWA DELEGATION.
Senator Wright, Of Iowa, is absent from
the city. His colleague, Allison, is mildly
sad, but does not give expression to his
opinions Of the veto. He is very much
occupied with the details Of the District of
Columbia investigation, and thus escapes
from the importantly of the interviewers.
The Iowa members Of the House are rep
resented to be in great state OF agitation.
VARIOUS SENATORIAL. OPINIONS.
Senator Bogy, of Missouri, though a
supporter of the bill, is not greatly grieyed
over its destruction. He consoles himself
with the reflection that, in killing the
measure, Grant, likewise, demolished the
Republican party. Senator Thurman COLL
mends the message in the warmest terms,
and will take great delight in defending
Grant against the assaults of Morton, Lo-
gan, Ferry, and others, If an attempt is
made to pass the bill over the veto.
THE OHIO DELEGATION
do not, in the majority Of cases, feel bad;
few who, like Fosler, voted for the bill to
settle the question, and in despair of doing
Banning, who voted against the bill, of
course is pleased with the veto; while Say
lor, who voted for it, is not displeased with
Tue pTuSpcCt OF lllc ulNlSlOn luc NCOO VIII
make in the Republican party.
THE INDIANA CoNGREssMEN
having all, save Holman, attached them
selves TO the imitation balloon, are, at the
collapse thereof, very much cast down, in
dignant, and despondent.
THE PRESIDENTS INTENTIONS.
In conversation with Gen. Garfield to-
day, the President said that he would ap-
prove a free banking bill containing Fos-
teT's provision, that as fast as National hank
currency is issued, greenbacks, to the
amount of so per cent Of the newly issued
bank notes. be retired, till the volume of
greenback circulation is reduced TO $780,
100000.
A COMPROMISE HOPED FOR
Senator Sherman, at present in Ohio, tel
eeraphed TO Morton to do nothing rash; that
he had no doubt a measure satisfactory to
all parties could, and would, yet be agreed
upon.
A REPUBLICAN CAUCUS NOT PROBABLE.
The proposition for Republican caucus
on the veto is likely TO fall through, as il is
anticipated that the caucus would only
serve to make iTreconcilable the split in the
party. The sober men discourage the idea,
saying that they have no desire to have a
hand in the death of the organization, re-
serving their demonstrations till they are
called upon to drop tear of affection and
grief over the coffin; so at least for the
present, there will be no caucus.
