was more for the benefit of New York than of
the South. The subject under discussion
was whether TO refer the Presidents message
TO the judiciary committee, in order TO an
swer the law points or whether TO vote di-
rectly on the motion TO pass the bill! over the
veto Tomorrow
Nearly all the speakers took the ground
that the Presidents message was contempiu-
Gus, the evident result of a weak surrender
to the stalwarts, and in violation of his own
belief and former action. The majority con-
tended that there was not point in the mes
sage that had not been raised and refuted
during the debate: that the message really
seemed to be patchwork of objections. which
had been made during the debate by different
republican members, simply strung together;
that to refer it TO the Judiciary committee
would give it a weight which IT did not pos
sess, and that the House was amply prepared
to vote. This view prevailed and was adopt
ed by a large majority. Nearly all the mem
hers participated in the debate Future pol
icy was left untouched. The tone of the eau
Gus was conservative; but il was evident that
nothing further would be done about the APP
preparation bills at present, and the evident
effect of the veto will be to set the House at
work on general legislation.

the fact that the most solemn obligations Of

especially in regard to using the names of

however, leaked out in spite of these precau-

contest, so far as continuing the attempt to
force political legislation in connection with
appropriation bills. Their position was, that
continuation of the contest would only be
losing game in the end for the democrats
and that it would be better policy to yield
where they are. In answer to these sugges-
tons some most extreme and bitter replies
were made by senators whose names cannot
