[From Our Regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON, June 23.-My information
last night from the White House was that
Dir. Hayes would base his veto Of the judi
cial bill entirely on the clause relating TO
deputy marshals, and when it was read to-
day it fully confirmed this report. I was
not at all surprised that he did not object
to the provisions in regard to the Jurors,
test-oath and the drawing Of jurors, be-
cause last night he also stated to leading
Republican correspondents that be is in ia
vor OF The repeal OF the Jurors test.oath.
This, he thinks, ought TO satisfy southern
Democrats, because the South is more in
| terested in securing impartial and n-part-
| isan jurors than in anything relating to
deputy marshals or supervisors OF elections.
| The Democrats OF the South and North,
however, are making common cause in de-
handing the repeal OF "the obnoxious
laws" and what interests one interests the
other.
THE QUESTION OF ADJOURNMENT.
Everything now is subordinated to the
question OF adjournment, and there is not
man in either house who, in his heart. is
not Drawing for a solution Of existing diff
culties so that he may get home before the
close OF the week. The Republicans say
they will not, however, allow any adjourn
ment until the courts are duly provided
for, and that they can prevent it oy re-
fusing to vote. OF course they hold that
there cannot be a sine die adjournment
unless quorum votes. There are Demo-
Gratis, on the other hand, who contend
that less than quorum can adjourn
until the regular session. The idea at the
White House to-day was that the difficulty
will be solved by extending the approprla-
ton made for the courts last session until
Congress meets next winter. This would
amount to truce until then. The Senate
Committee on Appropriations to-day re-
I ported resolution fixing Wednesday as
the day for final adjournment, but it went
over under The rules, and will be consid-
cred tomorrow.
THE sITUATloN-wHAT THE DEMOCRATS CAN
| Do.
Democrats say that the Appropriation
Committee has the matter entirely in their
hands, and need not report a judicial bill
until they choose. To force them to do this,
they contend, will require two-thirds vote
OF the House. The Republicans say they
have enough Democrats ready to vote with
them for a bill pure and simple, such as the
President will sign without hesitation, to
carry it in both houses; and that while
there may be Il little delay, they will event,
ualy be able to get such Il bill through. II
was q noticeable fact to- day that the Demo.
Gratis, in the most quiet way, after the vote
was taken on the judicial bill, voted with
the greatest unanimity to adjourn, but did
not, as the Republicans expected, go imme'
dlately into caucus. There was no excite
Iment and no evidence OF hot-headedncSs in
their movements.
WHAT IF NO PROVISION is MADE FOR THE
COURTS?
The salaries Of the Federal Judges are
provided for in the legislative and eXecu-
tive bill, but the one vetoed, and generally
known as the Little judicial bill, provides for
the payments of jurors, &c. Now, section GAS
OF the Revised Statutes OF the United States
reads as follows: "lSsues OF fact in civil
causes in any circuit court may be tried and
determined by the court without the inter-
yention OF jury whenever parties OF their
attorneys of record file with the clerk q
stipulation in writingl walvIngH a jury"
Under this provision OF the Revised Statutes
| am informed that nineteen out OF twenty
OF all the cases in the South are now tried
by the Judges (both law and fact), because
parties prefer to have issues OF fact tried by
intelligent judges rather than by partisan
or iron. clad jury. This indicates that the
South will not suffer any very great hard
ship, il no provision should now be made
for the payment OF Federal jurors.
Personal NEWS ITEMS.
The report is that all absent Democrats
have been telegraphed for, but the trouble
is that some are so far away that they could
not well get back. Mr.. Evarts does not
seem to be in the confidence OF Mr.. Hayes,
but Garfield is completely so. The star Of
no public man is so rapidly on the wane as
that {. Conkling, but Mr.. Lamar will not
be able, when it sets under dark cloud, to
say, IL did it," Mr.. Mcmahon and others
threaten to so into general legislation, but
how can they when the Republicans will
refuse to vote and prevent quorum
General Johston shows not the slightest
yeXution at tue situation, and Mr.. Stephens
wants to proceed with legislation for the re-
lief of the people. John Ii. Thompson and
Frances Z. Dawson, OF Fairfax. county,
were married here this morning. Each is
seventeen, and the course OF true love did
not run smooth.
