WASHINGTON, April 30.-As | stated last
night in my dispatches, tomorrow will be
a busy day with tobacco manufacturers and
internal revenue officers, and il Sherman is
candid man he will tell Raum tomorrow
night that such days receipts from the
sale Of tobacco-stanps and from special to-
bacco-licenSes has not been known since
they baye been in office, and they will con-
c!ude that the indications are that the rcrc-
nue. from tobacco will not fall of one third,
as they predicted when before the Finance
Committees OF the two houses.
TIE HOUSE HEARS A STALE MESSAGE READ.
At five minutes after y to-day the Clerk
OF the House commenced reading Mr..
Hayes veto message, and members paid
no attention 10 this weak and arrogant
document" as an indignant senator termed
it, because all OF them had read it in the
newspapers and given their opinions Of its
| merits and dement's. Without much cerc-
mony 1t was laid aside until tomorrow,
| no 4 IA
rules there is no limit to the debate Dir.
| lIurd and other Democrats desire TO speak
| on the Democratic side, and OF course
| Messrs. Garfield x Co. wall want to defend
| their work. This will take more time than
| Vas at first inclined to think would be
consumed in considering it.
| THE TALK ABOUT TIE VETO TO-DAY.
| have talked with Democrats Of both
Houses. representing all sections. in regard
| to the situation, and while five OH: OF six
say-some with greater vim than others
that of course we cannot yield, there are
senators and representatives who have said
that finally the appropriation bills will pass
in such shape as will meet the approval OF
the President. This VIII not be done in a
hurry nor without great difficulty and much
| opposition, they think, but still it viii be
done, because Democrats will when the ex-
element subsidies see that 1t is best for tue
country and the party that, having done all
| they could 10 rid the statute-book Of Just
and obnoxious laws, they should not now
surrender the advantage thereby gained by
any rash act.
A SENATE Caucus. A HOUSE CAUCUS, AND A
| JOINT CAUCUS.
The Democratic senators met in confer
| ence this morning at hali-past 10, and
pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their
sacred honor TO keep the proceedings secret,
but your correspondent in the usual way
ascertaincd that they discussed the propriety
OF separating the political sections from the
legislative appropriation bill because the
President by his action on the army bill has
shown that he will veto it il the Senate
adopts it in the form it came from the
House. The majority was against this, and
no action was taken with view OF securing
harmony. My information is that they did
not discuss the veto bill. I hear il was
agreed not to take Up the legislative bill in
the Senate until next week.
The House Democratic caucus was IN scS-
sion late. and the debate was sometimes
stormy. 1t was finally agreed to vote on
the veto message tomorrow without debate,
and that puts stop to the speeches which
were to have been delivered. NcsSrS.
Goode and Cabcll made spirited speeches in
the caucus. BY vote Of both the House and
Senate caucus the joint committee, ovel
which Mr.. Thurman presided. will be re-
yived. and to this will be referred the most
important questions. 1t is already agreed
to pass Seuurate bills for the repeal OF the
obnoxious laws and send them to the Pre-
sident. His veto OF these, think, VIII not
prevent the ultimate passage OF ttc appro-
priulion bills. Messrs. Blackburn ana Mills
were among the speakers who made speeches
against yielding an iota.
WHAT MEMBERS SAY.
General Ewing says il Democrats cannot
afford to stand in il good cause, or what
common ground will they stand: Mir. At
kins says he has been regarded as very cor
sentative, but that The Democrats cannot
now yield. Governor Tom Young. CT Ohio
| tRepublcan), SAYS the message is stalWart
McssrS. Lowe, Weaver, and the other
Greenbackers, say they will NOT join the
Democrats in aggressive measures. The
majority OF Louisiana and South Carolina
members talk very conservative. Mir. Rich
mond says il necessary he will, solitary and
alone, fight it out all summer. So says Mr..
Tom Turner, OF Kentucky.
! PRESIDENTIAL SrECULATIoNS-PEHSOE
ITEMS.
| Mr.. Blackburn did not leave last night,
| but goes to Louisville Tonight, bis friends
say, TO look after his brothers gubcrnatorial
interests, but the opponents OF Mr.. Tildcn
| saw he goes because information has been
received that the Kentucky Democratic
Convention contclnpiates hostile action to-
wards "Uucle Samuel" Ii this be so, then
both tie candidates for Speaker were Jllden
men. At the Senate to-day l heard Davis
and Randall suggested as the ticket, ana
soon afterwards Pennsylvania member OF
the House said lie was for Randall after Ill
