wAsH1NGToy, June pa canvass OF the
House. made Immediately after the reading
OF the Presidents message to-day, to ascer.
tain the views OF the majority upon the
present situation, brought out three differ
ent propositions with regard to future ac-
ton. The first was to prepare and pass an
other bill precisely similar to that Just We
tocti. and il the President returned it un-
signed to adjourn sine die. The second
was to pass q joint resolution continuing

With the same limitations upon expenditures
ms were contained in tue vetoed bill, and II
it was not approved to adjourn; and II
called together again 70 repeat the process.
The third was 10 adjourn at once without
making any further attempt to meet the
views of the Executive.
The first OF these suggested courses or
action seemed to have the most supporters.
Cabinet officers, in discussing the si III
ton with members Of the House to-day,
said il the majority should pass another
bill similar to the one Just returned the
President would veto it. Ii Congress adj
journed he would call them together the
next day, and il the process was repeated
be would not reconvene them third time,

the courts on the Democratic party.
The Democratic senators were In caucus
three hours this afternoon discussing the
present situation, with the view to deciding
upon course OF action. Mr.. Vest favored
immediate adjournment. He thought the ma
jorlty was under no obligations to do more
than it had done. He was supported by

unwarranted, aud arguing that it would

test. oath, 10 which the President had made

adjournment without further effort. Sew
eral speakers, including Messrs. Bay

ton, said in the most emphatic manner that

mort OF every branch OF the Government
would be utterly uniustifables and indcfen-
sib!e.

money should be appropriated for the pay
ment OF deputy marshals OF elections.
At the conclusion of the discussion re-
solution in favor OF adjournment without
further action was rejected by an over
wbelming majority, having received only
three or four votes.
