Prospects mt the Capital for the Dis.
pOsftfOn Of Bills.

WASHINGTON, July 1.-The appro-
priation bills are still in an unsettled
condition, with prospects of favorable ad-
justment no farther away than on Satur-
day. The sundry civil bill was fixed upon
Friday last in conference, aid was sup
posed TO be ready for re-
porting to both Houses. To-day,
however, the bill was taken
up again and new propositions enter
taincd which will require at least one
more day for adjustment, if il does not
delay the bill much longer time. The
same thing has occurred to the army bill.
The conferrees agreed on report on Sat-
urday, and it was written out. To-day
when 1t was resdy for the signatures of
the conferrees it was ascertalned that some
of them had new amendments to SUBJ
NIT, and the bill will be delayed another
day. The conference committee on
legislative bill spent the whole time at
their meeting in discussing the diff
ferent propositions for agreement, but in
reality made no visible progress on the
bill. Propositions were submitted look
ing to the entire resdiustnent Of some
portions Of the bill, which, if agreed TO,
will require week or ten days to pre-
pare the bill for action Altogether, the
outlook is not so favorable for satisfsc-
tory termination Of the differences be-
tween the two houses as when the ad-
jourment took place Saturday.

A SKETCH OF THE REPUBLICAN
CANDIDATE.

Judge STALLo, of Cincinnati, knows
Governor HAYES personally and esteems
him, as no doubt he deserves to be es.
teemed, for his smooth and passive vir-
tues. He expresses his "faith in Gov.
HAYES personal integrity" his "admira-
tion of him as brave defender of tho Gag
of the Union, and testifes his "kind feel
ing for him as genial companion and an
old fellow.member of the bar" in way
that does rs much credit to Judge STALLo
as to Governor HAYES. But these
gentle virtues do mott indicate the man
for the rugged and difficult duties OF
President of the United States at this
time. sit is my sincere belief" says
Judge STALLo, "that the very social vir-
tues of Gov. HAYES intensity the mis-.
chief and danger Of his nomination"
He thinks that Gov. HAYES as President
would be powerless to resist the great
leaders who have permitted, if not en-
coursged, the abuses that have grown up
under the GRANT administration, and
who will not permit reform of them, if
they can prevent it. Here is his sketch
of HAYES as public man:
"A man whose record could be said to
be good simply in the sense that upon all
questions which just now disturb the
minds of serious people, with the excep-
tion of the currency question, on which,
of course, he had no record at all-whose
personal honesty was above question, but
who belonged TO that familiar type OF
amiable men whose chief business is to
make no enemies, either by openly
discriminating between rogues and
honest men, or by expressing convictions
which are for the moment unpopular.
Nobody, when he was nominated, had
ever heard of his giving utterance to
the least sympathy with the reform ten
denotes of the last five years within his
own party; or of having indicated his
discomfort with the administration of
Gen. Grant even by the shrug of should.

of the noble efforts of Benjamin Bristow

welcome OF his friends and neighbors,

.aMR. GRANT" says the New York
Trib4ae, "is the same man to day that he
was when the Liberals refused to sup
port him four years ago. Men OF ordi-
nary intelligence and candor do not
know him any better now than they did
then. But the same spirit which in
duced the Republican party to nominate
him in 1872 has again induced the party
to insult the better sentiment of the coun-
try by indorsing his administration in
1876. After Whiskey Ring exposures,
after the acceptance Of BELKNAP's resig
nation with regret after the trial
of BABcoCK and the shameful interference
in that case, after the exposure made by
WHITLEY, after the misconduct OF DELA-
NO and ROBSON, after the notorious dis
agreement between GRANT and Secretary
BRIsrow, the Republican party endorsed
GRANT again. Of course it suffers. 1t
deserves to suffer, and at the hands OF
the very man to whom it has sacrificed so
long its decency and self.respect. He turns
out BRIsTow, YARYAS, JEWELL and
PRATT. Why not? 1t was his administra-
ton, and not theirs, which the Conven-
tion approved. He contemptuously kicks
the party fswning at his feet Why not?
IL has behaved as if it wanted TO be
kicked"
