SYNOPSIS OF THE VETO MESSAGE,
Congress Ready 10 Adjourn.

The legislative bill is n law, the Presi-
dent having attached his signature to it
at noon to-day. The army bill will be
signed, although the Stalwarts are NOV
ing heaven and earth to induce Hayes
To veto it. The judicial bill will be
vetoed, and will be returned TO the
House, where it originated, with the
Presidents objections, on Monday next.
The Republican leaders say the changes
made i'm the bill since its inception have
been important. The bill as first pre-
pared would, it is said in the EXecu-
tive Departments, have intcriered most
seriously and disastrously, if it ever
became q law, with the execution OF
their regular business. Its defects OF
this character were so glaring that they
alone would have formed excellent
reasons for veto. The bill, it Is said,
in its present shape removes these OBJ
.icctionahle features. While it still
leaves the amounts appropriated so
small rs to make deficiencies inevitable,
il further provides that no deputy mar
shals shall he appointed to carry out
election laws. This latter proposition
makes up the simple issue between the
Republican and Democratic parties.
The laws directing the appointment OF
such officers remain on the statute books
unrcpcaled; but it is proposed, say the
Republicans, To prohibit their execution.
Ii is another way, they say, on the part
of the majority in Congress to attempt
To secure what a previous disapproval
from the President prevented. That be-
ing the case, u veto is certain.
The President, it is stated, will take
the ground that he is obliged by his oath
To enforce all the laws. 1t is now pro-
posed 10 prohibit him from enforcing
certain still unrepcaled laws. General
Gaaficld, in his speech in the House,
set forth the objections TO the bill. lie
said i'm the course of a short speech:
"The President has taken an oath that
he will see To- it that the laws be faith
fully executed. You do not repeal the
election laws, but you make it imposSi-
bic for him to execute them without
violating another. You seek to place
him i'm reach of your impeachment on
the one hand, or on the other compel
him to neglect his duty and violate his
oath. We have no legal or moral right
tu put the Chief Executive in such an
attitude" The President, it is cX-
pected, will act promptly. There is a
good deal of diverse opinion as
To what the President will do in case
the Democrats adjourn next week with
out passing some provisions Tor the
courts. \ good many think that the
President will not Immediately call Con-
grcss back, while others say
that en- the day Congress
aGiourns he will issue proclama-
tion forthwith, convening it in session
the day following The Democrats will
try to put through = resolution fixing
Tuesday next rs the day of final adj
iournment. The Republicans say they
will not allow the resolution fOradjOurn-
mcnt to pass without it is ascertained
whether or not the President will sign
the Judicial Bill. This they can do by
Withholding their votes and leaving the
House without a quorum. The Demo
Gratis cannot pass the resolution because
they do not have a quorum OF theirown
members in attendance upon either
House.
Every Thing is Lovely.
The following. in to-day's Post, very
accurately sets forth the situation touch
iug important matters concerning the
next Ohio campaign from Democratic
standpoint: a great deal of speCula-
ton having been INDUCED in by Wash
ington correspondents Of Western pa
pers concerning the relations Of Senator
Thurman and General Ewing, especially
i'm regard to the Chairmanship OF the
State Executive Committee, a Post re-
porter Was dispatched yesterday TO get
at the true inwardneSs of the whole
affair. He found that, far from there
being any feeling of hostility or
rivalry between these two gcnle-
men, precisely the contrary is true.
They have had, within two or
three days, frequent conferences rs to
the best and most efficient manage
ment of the campaign, and are i'm hearty
accord as to the desirability otwurkinr
for an overwhelming victory, leaving
mere matters of detail and courtesy to
10 be settled when the fight shall have
been Won. General Ewing does not
protest. SS has been asserted, against in
trusting the management of the cam
paign to Mr.. John G.. Thompson be-
cause he thinks that gentleman hostile
To him; but ne thinks that,
~ Mr.. Thompson took very
active part in the campaign Tor the
nomination, and is credited with hav-
ing organized the movement which re-
suited i'm the defeat of Governor Bishop,
some other person could bring out bet
ter work on all sides. judge Thurman
does not, on the other hand, rs has
been reported, insist on the selection of
Mr.. Thompson; 50 that the widely
circulated report of difficulty over the
Craftsmanship of the Campaign Com
mittcc is without the slightest fOunda-
tlon in fact. But, more important than
either of these statements, Is Mr..
ThOmpson's own declaration that he
does not want and will not take the
| Craftsmanship unless it is the unanl-
nous wish of all the interests in
yolued that he should DO SO.
| Mr.. Thurman is not at all con-
cerned about the LegiSlatureOr or the SEN
/ atOrlGl SNCCtSSSbu. DUN llC anu Nitis
/ Ewing recognize that there Is but one
thing To do, elect the State ticket nOmi-
mated at Columbus by from 10000 TO
| 5000 majority; and that, in order 10 DO
| this, the only rivalry that can be recOg-
| nizrd between their respective personal
| friends and adhcrcnts is to see who shall
| contribute the most toward this result.
! There Is, therefore. no truth in any re-
port that represents the recognized lead
ers of the party in Ohio aS otherwise
| than friendly ami in hearty political ac-
| cord. or the division of the Ohio Drmoc-
racy into Il Thurman wing and Ewing
wing. Both gentlemen claim the whole
| bird.
