u
worthy information that can be had is to the
effect that Hayes has determined TO veto the
marshals, bill and reconyene Congress imme-
diately, II the House resolution to adjourn
Monday passes the Senate. These threats
seem to have had some effect on the temper
OF the latter body, inasmuch as the Appro-
priations Committee at the Instance OF Sena~
tor Davis, Its chairman, this morning post
poned consideration OF the adjournment res
olution indefinitely.
Hayes and his friends still stick to their be-
lief that by worrying Congress little longer
they can get everything they want through,
breaking the Democratic ranks on this sub
ject.
The Star this evening has the following ar
tfcle, which Is known to have been inspired
directly from the White House:
IL ID believed and Is the common talk at
the Capitol that In view Of some arrangement
made with about fourteen Southern Demo-
Gratis. the end will be that bill Tor the pay.
ment Of the marshals will be passed without
| any riders Gen. Garfield made trade with
certain Southern congressman whereby, In
consideration OF the Republicans allowing
the bill to provide for the Mississippi river
commission to be passed, these congressman
pledged their votes to help the passage OF all
appropriation bills before Congress will be ad-
journed. The trade, or the votes which 1t is
claimed the administration has secured
| through Gen. Garfields diplomacy, are all Of
| the Louisiana delegation-three from South
Carolina and three from Georgia and Ala
| bama.
There is not particle Of doubt but Hayes
4 believes all this stuff, for he has been SO told
by Gen. Garfield and others for the purpose
of bracing him up to the point OF vetoing the
bill, but as far as the Louisiana delegation is
concerned 1t would be impossible to invent a
more monstrously absurd falsehood. In fact,
whatever danger there is OF q backdoWn such
as Hayes expects comes not from the House,
but from the Senate. and 1t was only upon
most solemn promises In joint caucus that no
more concessions would be asked by the SEN
ators, and that the leaders Of the stalwart
Democrats In the House consented to present
the programme OF postponement OF the House
resolution to adjourn by the Senate Appro-
priations COMMITTEES this morning. It looks
very much as IL certain Democratic leaders
In the Senate intend to make one more at
tempt at compromise In case Of veto, and
for that reason want the day Of adjournment
left open until Hayes shows his hand.
THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER COMMISSION.
The appointment OF Major Harrod as the
Louisiana member Of the river commission,
was In consequence Of Gen. Beauregard's de-
! cination, which it seems was received by a
member of our delegation on the evening OF
} the same day on which his appointment was
recommended. It Is also stated on good
authority that Eads will not serve subordinate
to any Engineer General The impression
J among the Mississippi valley men here is
J that the makeup Of the committee as whole
Is weak and that IL Eads persists In refusing
to serve It will fall pretty flat. The selection
Of Gilmore and Comstock instead of Barnard
and Weitzel is severely criticized, and sute1
} ID the only army engineer on the board whose
experience In any degree meets the require
). ments. Another version given here is thai
. Gilmore and Comstock were put on because
Z they were likely to be controlled
: by Eadss superior judgment, instead o
H Barnard and Weitzel, who would probabl!
have opposed his plans, and that In conse
: Quence Of this concession Eads will serve, be
coming de fncto the head OF the board, Will
Gilmore acts simply as de jure or as figure
4 head give these as the views OF leading
3 men, assuming no personal knowledge In th
premises.
The nominations for the commission wer
referred to Lamar's committee to-day an
will not be acted on until the Senators VIII
l. are mostly Interested In the matter can ge
some expression from their constituents
Much dissatisfaction exists. Jonas say
that he does not know anything abou
: the rumored declination Of Gen. Beauregare
n and does not believe he did decline. At a
% events, he thinks the failure Of Hayes to az
point the General after his being unanimousl
recommended by the commission or delegs
? tion was due to influences outside Of thi
!, State, or at least outside OF the Democrat
Il party. Though expressing one and all th
=. kindest feelings toward Major Harrod, and
no wise questioning the excellence OF his az
pointment members of the delegation are e1
ceeding1y chagrined at Hayes's treatment {
them respecting Beauregard, who, they Wer
led to believe, would be appointed.
