WASHINGTON, May 12, 1879.
We have had one veto and are threatened
with another. That is, the army appropria.
ton bill, with clauses indicating that the
money appropriated should not be spent
for certain unwholesome purposes, was
vetoed, and now those salutary clauses, pre-
sentcd by Mr.. Ladd in the form of separ-
ate BILL are to be vetoed. At least every
body believes they will be. Mr.. Hayes for
once in his official career, is unanimous.
For the last two days all who have talked
with him on the subject say he will veto
the bill. Whether he is led to do so by
the suggestion of John Sherman, who sees
in an anticipated disagreement between
congress and the executive possibility Of
advancing his presidential chances, or by
the madlin threats of such men as Chand-
Ter, or by the lately visible determination
Of the radical Republicans to make war
upon all who pursue patriotic course, We
may know hereafter. No conservative man
here now believes that Mr.. Hayes has any
convictions on the subject or any other sub
jcct which will stand in the way of his
partys success. The list of Democratic Wis
itors to the white house has been short
since March 1877 of late it has diminished;
after the next veto it will not be worth re-
porting.
Speaker Randall, it is said, goes to Cali
fornia during the recess, to address the peo-
pie OF that state on political subjects. The
Democracy has few if any wiser leaders
than Mr.. Randall, and, though he has spo-
ken little in campaigns out side of his own
state, am confident he will be of great as
sistance in California or wherever he may
60.
Senator ingalls,, Of Kansas, is to be in
vestigated. The charges were such and so
sustained that the Investigation ought to
have been ordered carly. They are TO the
effect that he caused to be paid by Others
and also personally paid money to the men,
bers OF the Kansas legislature for their
votes in his favor The charges are made
| by Republicans and Democrats, and are
backed by such mass of testimony that
either ingalls, or half the state of Kansas
must be corrupt.
Capt. Jas. B. Eads gets 100000 under
an act which passed the senate on Friday
and which had previously passed the house.
This is payment, so far, Under his contract
for improving the navigation OF the Mis-
sissippi. Capt. Eads has made better pro-
gress than he hoped for, and will complete
sooner than lie expected this most impor-
tant work. He deserves all and more than
all he has received
Representative Lopham, of n. Y, sub
mittcd last week proposed amendment to
the constitution authorizing the veto by the
President Of single clauses in any appropri-
alton bill without affecting other portion
of it.
The prominence of Senator Window in
connection with the colorcd exodus and
the fact that he is now frequently named as
Presidential 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 large attend
ancc. Without being eloquent the Senator
is an effective speaker,
There is published an appeal by the
Grcenbuck leaders of Michigan to assist
the Grccnbackcrs Of Maine in their Septem-
Der struggle The position Of Maine, as
the first State to vote in which any Green
back strength has been exhibited, adds
greatly to the interest felt in the coming
campaign.
