The second OF Mr.. Hayes series OF
vctoes crcaten no sensation here. Up
10 the last moment IL was thought
that soino weight Hight be attached
TO his express purpose to sign tia
bill but the sequel shows how COM
pletely no is now in tho
hands of the stalwart and visionary
class OF Republicans, and furnishes
additional evidence OF the vacillaiing
and utterly unreliable character OF
the weakest fraud TINT ever sat so
high. The motion TO pass the bill
over the veto had majority OF s..
votes in the House-not the required
two-thirds. Iut enough to demon
strate that the Greenbackers ana all
dement's not under the whip Of Chan
dler Il Co. disapproye the course OF
Mr.. Hayes, aud oppose The use of
bayOne at the polls. These ele-
ments represent u majority OF moro
than one million among The people OF
the nation. q

man, on Thursday, had tho ring Of
truo metal in il, and you can in no
way give your readers more COM
prehensive view Of the issues than by
printing it in iull. My opinion OF
the final outcome is that the test oath
will be repealed In a separate bill,
which will be signed. The legisla-
tive aud judicial appropriation bill
will then be passed, with proviso
attached TO each clause that not one
dollar of the money appropriated
shall be used to pay election super
visors and marshals. That plan,
while not repeating the supervisors
law, will compel the Radicals to pay
them, ii appointed, out Of their own
campaign fund. All the other needs
of the civil department of the Gov
ernment would DO provided for.

Mr.. Hayes will not dare veto the bill.
No further action on the army bill
would be taken. Very fow people in
this country care much about the
army anyway. The bill has already
failed three or four times IN our his
tory without the destruction Of the
Government or material incon-
venieace, and the bulk of the army
appropriation goes TO pay of officers
who are considered by a large por-
ton Of the people of this country as
q lot Of ornamental supernumerarics,
that could be as we'll abolished AZ
not. l do not say that this will 10
the precise result, but looks about
like 1t, and is the midst programme
the Democrats would be justiicd in
adopting.
II is stated that Minister Seward
sailed for China on the 18th, where
notwithstanding his disgrace and
bad conduct, he will resume the du-
ties of that high office. The Admin-
isiration has not appeared to pay any
attention to the flict that he was
proven, before committee of Con-
grcss. TO have been corrupt aud dis-
graceful official, aud that want OF
time only prevented his conviction
of grave offcnscs and malfcasamcc in
Office. Even Col. Mosby reports Se-
ward as unfit for his Office. His Of
lenses. in ordinary cases, wonld have
sent him to the grand jury. but liis
very near relative is the First Assis-
tant Secretary of State.
