WAsHrEaroN. June 23.--As intimated in
Saturday nights dispatch, Hayes's veto o.
the judicial bill has produced another panic
Iii Democratic ranks, ut least 10 1ar as tne
SENATE is concerned. There Is no means o.
Judging the temper Of the House, beca1se
that body adjourned to-day, imrnediately
after formal vote on the bill, irrespective of
Hayes' objections, and did not call cauc1ls
The Senate Democrats, however, held 9
caucus Immediately after adjournment, and,
by vote Of twenty to seven, instructed
Thurman's committee to prepare new bill
calculated to obviate the objection OF ME-
HAYES. This was done after sharp debate.
In which Messrs. Cockrell, Vest, Vance,
Jonas, Withers, Wallace and Walker took
strong ground against further surrender,
and Messrs. Thurman, Bayard, Hampton,
Mcdonald and others contended that adj
journment without passing all the appropria.
tion bills was not to be thought Of. The conn.,
proInisers have, therefore, carried the day 10
the Senate, and another contest OF phrase
mongering ID to be waged between Thurman,
who draws up the bills, and Garfield. who
writes Hayes's vetoes
The vote of 20 to- ID not d fair test OF the
sense Of the Democratic Senate caucus as o
whole for most OF the absentees to-day were
stalwarts, who knowing beforehand what
would be done staid away Jonas, Vest,
Cockrell, Withers, Wallace. Walker and Vance
we're the only stalWarts who staid the thing
out.
OF course nothing definite can be learned Of
the temper of the House. Mr.. Sparks, OF ILL
nois, who Ia the leader OF the stalwarts In that
body, says tonight that there are at least
eighty Democrats who will desert from the
action Of the Senate caucus to-day. but their
strength will be paralyzed unless some sorto1
compromise is made. Enough Democrats
will vote with the Radicals out and out te
pass the bill without instructions.
| On the whole the Indications are that q
bill will be drawn by Thurman's COMMITTEES te
meet Hayes's objections and will be passet
without much debate, and that about sixty
| Democrats In the House and twelve In tht
Senate will vote against 1t. The remainder
| of the Democrats III both Houses will vot'
against the new bill.
| A member Of the caucus COMMITTEES informs
me that the new supplementary judicial bill
will be drawn, making clean appropriation
for all expenses Of the marshals and regular
deputies by specified Items, but omitting any
reference whatever to special deputies undel
the election laws. The compromisers say
Hayes will have to sign the bill, as 1t will con
tain nothing on which he can base objections
Then If he chooses to call another extra ses
sion solely to make provision for special dep
uties to manipulate elections he can do 30
Whether such bill will satisfy the stalwar
Democrats remains to be seen &c. B.
