WASHINGTON. D. t., May 1o.-The President
will doubtless veto what is known as the Mill
tary-Interfcrence bill, but what should be more
properly called bill to bind the arms Of the
Executive. The President, Of course, does not
care to be directly interviewed On the subject Of
his probable action With respect to the bil!, but
since the Dill passed the House he has conversed
with such freedom with various Senators and
Representatives who have called upon him that
his views now are all we'll known withln the
circle at least Of those who have bis confidence.
To one gentleman who called upon him today
the President said in substance that he
DID NOT THNK THE TIME HAD CONN
when it was necessary to repeal the laws for
the protection OF the citizens und the preser7a-
ton OF the Republic that we're signed by WASH
ington and passed by the fathers.
To another gentleman the President has said
within 4 day or two In substance this: III
they had sent to me the political section Of the
Army Appropriation bill, which it WAS said they
would do, I might hays Signed 1t. That pre-
sented the square issue OF the use OF troops 1T
the polls; but they will not send such bill.

the execution OF the laws"
This gentleman stated that be had no doubt
that the President would veto the bill.
Secretary Evarts said to-day, In conversation
with Republican Senator, that he was con-
vinccd that 1t would not do for the President to
sign the bill. Mr. EVarts Was close listener to
the arguments OF Senator Edmuuds. which
doubtless created great impression upon his
mind.
EvARTS WAS EARNEST,
perhaps regretful IN, his statement that it would
not do for the President to sign the bill. 4
gentleman With whom the President conversctr
to-day, Northern Representative who Is held
in high esteem By many Southern men, said,
speaking of the Presidents position and OF the
South: 1.-THE Southern people do not know the
President They do not understand him. They
have thought that he was all peace and recon-
ciliation, and would surrender on every point
They are mistaken in him. They do not know
that on all issues growing out OF the War ho
is as radical and stalwart as my Republican in
Congress, and that he will surrender nothing Of
the results Of that contest, SO far as it is poss1
Bile for him to prevent it. tell you the South
ern men do not understand the President, and;
