tor certain unwho!esoue purposes,
was vetoed, and now those saiu-
tary clauses, presented by Mr.. L;idd
III the form OF Il separate bill, are
to be vetoed. AT least, every body
believes they will be. Mr.. Hayes
for once in his official career, il
unanimous. For the last two days
all who have talked with him OH
tive subject say he will veto the bill.
| Whether he is led to do so by the
suggestion Of John Sherman, whu
sees in an anticipated disagreement
between Congress and the Execu>
tive possibility of advancing his
Presidential chances, or by the
maudlin threats of such men as
Chandler, or by the lately visible
determination of the radical repub>
licans to make war upon all who
pursue patriotic cause, we may
know hereafter. No conservative
man here now believes that Mr.
Hayes has any convictions on the
subject or any other subject which
will stand in the way of his party Is
success. The list of Democratic
visitors at the White House has
tteen short since March 1877; of
late 1t has diminished; after the
next veto it will not be worth re-
porting.
Speaker Randall, IT is said, goes
to California during the recess, to
address the people of that state OIL
political subjects. The democracy
has few if any wiser leaders than
Mr.. Randall. and, though he has
spoken little in campaigns outside
of his own State. am confident he
will be OF great assistance in Cali
fornia or wherever he may go.
Senator Ingalls, of Kansas, is to
be Investigated. The charges were
such, and SO sustained that the in
vestigatiOn ought to have been or
dered early. They are to the effect
that he causesl to be paid by others
and also personally paid money to
the members of the Kansas legisld-
lure for their votes in his favor.
The charges are made 10y republi
cans and democrats, and are backed
by such IA mass of testimony that
either ingalls, or half the State OF
Kansas must be corrupt.
Capt. JAS. 3. Eads gets $500, $40
under an act which passed the Sem
ate on Friday and which had pre-
viously passed the House This is
payment, SO far, under his contract
for improving the navigation Of the
Mississippi. Capt. Eads has made
better progress than he hoped for,
and will complete sooner than he
expected, this most important work
He deserves all and more than all
he has received.
Representative Lapham, of y. Y.
submitted last week proposed
amendment to the constitution, au-
thor izing the veto by the President
of single clauses in any appropriate
tiOn bill without affecting other por-
tons of it.
The prominence of Senator Win
dom in connection with the colOred
"exOdus," and the fact that he is
now frequently named as "a Presi-
dental candidate by republicans of
standing, give interest to the fact
that he will to day give his views
at length on the Legislative bill. He
Will have Al large attendance. With.
elOQuence out the Senator is an effec-
tive speaker.
There is published an appeal by
the Greenback leaders of Michigan
to assist the greenbackers of Maine
in their September struggle. The
position of Maine, as the first State
to vote in which only Greenhack
strength has been exhibited, adds
greatly to the interest felt in the
coming campaign. MEMO.
