WASHINGTON, April 2S.-The programme
ut the Capitol to-day was not inviting. In
the first place the House was not in session,
and the Senate had not the legislative bill
before it, and all the entertainment the
conscript fathers could offer to visitors was
speech from Gentleman George Pendle-
ton, as the Radicals call the new Ohio Sena.
tor. This was not enough, with 4 rainy
day and circus as competitor, FOR public
patronage 10 fill the galleries. Mrs. Hayes,
however, accompanied by Mr.. Murat Hal
stead, occupied a seat in the gallery assign
ed to the families OF senators. The bill
which Mr.. PenGleton's speech was intended
to advocate provides that Cabinet Off
GERS shall participate in the debates in
Congress upon measures relating 10
their respective departments. 1t also
requires them to visit the House
and Senate each two days in the week
TO answer such questions as shall nave been
propoundcd in writing by members three
days previously. This will give them suffi-
cicnt time 10 prepare their replies. Mr..
Pcndlcton got on very smoothly, but did
not appear TO he an orator. nor is he the
lawyer, take it, that his predecessor, Stanley
Matthews, was. In fact when Matthews, and
Mcrrimon OF North Carolina, left the Sem
a.c the body lost two able lawyers, and Mr..
Blaine has found out TO his chagrin that q
senator, to bc great. must know all HE de-
pal tments OF the law and bcahic TO do some
thing more than cnt Jackets or throw phos-
phoruS balls with Senators Ben. Hill and
Dan. VOORHEES,. Mr. Morrill, opposed Mr..
Pendlctou'S bill, and the matter went over.
THE VETO NEXT, AND WHAT AFTER THAT:
The House was not in session to-day, and
If Mr.. Hayes had been in ever so great !.
hurry lie could not have sent his veto TO
Congress, because the army appropriation
bill originated in the House. The opinion
continues to prevail among Republicans
that there is no manner OF doubt whatever
about i veto, and your correspondent has
asked scores OF Democrats what they mean
to do in the event Mr. Hayes refuses to APP
prove the army bill. TO this question the
replies have generally been cva>ive, and he
is led to conclude that they arc acting on
the belief that it is not we'll to discount
trouble. One, stalwart western Demo
crat, however, who has no compromise in
him, said. d" II we were to back down cur
dog would not bark at U.s." None OF the
others were as aggressive, but still they
did not indicate whether they were for
going home finally without passing
the appropriation bills or whether
they would pass them, and 60 to the coun.
try on the repeal OF the obnoxious laws.
On the surface it appeared that the lcgisla-
tive bill passed the House by twenty-odd ma
jority, but this included the Grccnbackcrs,
and they cannot be relied on 10 20 home
without an attempt to pass the army and
legislative appropriation bills pure and sim
pie; and TO do this they will act with the
Republicans. say so because they have an
nounced in the House that they wanted the
sections in controversy separated from the
appropriation bills. and they voted Saturday
afternoon with the Republicans for Gar
fields amendment to strike out the sections
Of the legislative bill relating 70 the jurors
test. oath and the deputy marshals and
supervisors. 1t will be remembered, too,
that this amendment was only lost
bv six votes. With this exhibit it is not
certain but that enough eastern Democrats
NAV be Gotten TO unite with the Republi.
cans and Grccnbackers and pass the appro-
pl iation bills without the political sections.
On the other hand, there are enough stall
wart Democrats who have no idea OF either
backing down or compromising TO hlldus-
ter and prevent the passage OF the bills III
