CUsTOM-HOUsE NOTES,

The outs are beginning to lose that hope with
which they have been buoyed up ever since the
removal OF Collector Smith, for very few Of
them have been able to see the new Collector
Gen. Badger. the business Of his Office leaving
him but little time to receive applicants or listen
to their claims for appointments.
The storm which was reported to the Signal
Observer as travelling down In this direction has
either spent itself or taken another course, and
the storm signals at Galveston and Indianola
haye been ordered down.
Special Agent Weeks was before the United
States grand jury yesterday. telling them what
he knew OF the inside workings Of the Custom
House.
The books Of the Collectors office are still
travelling between the grand jury room and the
vault.
And now 1t is reported that Gen. McMillen, the
new postmaster, does not intend TO take Antoine
as his assistant. but will install In the position
Mr.. Z. Hunt. now In the Internal revenue Office

WASHINGTON, June 2l.-The Sunday
Herald the leading Democratic paper oi
this city, contains the following editorial
structures on Senator Bayard: Senator
Bayard's associations are all OF kind
which bring him into communication with
the capitalist class. When he goes to
New York he is taken in hand by repre-
sentative Of the Rothschilds, and is sur.
rounded by the wealthy magnates Of the
American Metropolis, and he has certain.
ly earned the gratitude Of this class by the
manner in which he has defended their
interests. Thus, while the Senator from
Delaware is thoroughly saturated with
the ideas, opinions and prejudiCes Of the
moneyed aristOCracy, he never comes in
contact with the laboring masses and the
small property holders, whose interests,
especially in the measure in question, are
Numerically opposed to those Of his own
aristocratic associates. Mr.. Bayard Is by
birth an ariStocrat, by training an aristo-
Crat; and ON this great financial question,

ous possibilities for good or evil

OF the party with which he has hitherto
been associated. EIe is not in sympathy
with that party upon the questions re-
specting the currency, the public debt
and taxation, which will be the impor;
tant questions at issue between political
parties for some years to come. Il Mr..
Bayard remains nomlnally with the Demo-
cratic party, he must necessarily be relee'
gated, or must rclegate himself to o back
seat. Nothing but the fact that the praC'
tical remonetIzation oisilver Is at this tins
unattainable, in consequence Of the !op'
position thereto by the President, makes
the act OF the ma jority Of the Democratic
Senate in submitting to the will OF Sena-
Tor Bayard any thing but an act Of politi'
cal suicide. Had the case besn ono where

TIE APPROPRIATIONS.


The President Will Sign the Army and
Legislative Bills anI Veto the Judi
cInl Bill.
WASHINGTON, June 2l.-It Inns beer
very quiet in Congress to-day, contrasted
with the excitement Of the past few days.
All hands are waiting the action Of the
President, which will be known on Mon.
day, and there will undoubtedly be re.
newal Of excitement.
To-day the three appropriation bills
Legislative and Executive, and Judicial,
and Army-were sent to him. The first
reached him about 9 o'clock, and heimme,
diately signed and returned it. The last
two came while he was out driving, and
were upon his table when he returned at
8 o'clock. His course OF action is decided
upon. lie will sign the Army Bill and
veto the Judicial, and send them both to
Congress Monday, between 12 and l
O'Clock. He does not wish to appear to
crowd matters, but at the same time he
does not want to be the cause OF unneccs-
sary delay.
II Congress should adjourn without
making appropriations for judicial ex,
penses, hewill call them together the next
day. What action the Democrats will take
upon the announcement of veto on Mon
day it is impossible to say. Their first
action will be to hold a caucus, but in
their present temper it is evident that all
their men cannot be held to line of ac-
ton sanctioning the starving policy.
Speaker Randall said to-day that in case
Of veto he thought Congress would be
in session month yet, but beyond that
he seemed to be in great doubt Many
Republicans think there will be enough
Democrats to vote with them in both
houses to pass the judicial appropriations,
pure and simple, on Monday or Tuesday
and go home; but this is doubtful.
