Washington Notes
WASHINGTON, June 30th.-It Is
now ascertained upon entirely re-
liable authority that the President
has decided to reconvene Congress
Immediately if both houses adjourn
upon receipt of his veto of the Mar
shal's Appropriation bill without
passing another bill for that pur-
pose free of riders. This new de-
termination is explH ined upon two
theories: First, that he desires only
to emphasize the position he has
already taken on the general prin-
ciple involved, and that In the
event of Congress once more ad-
journing without making an appro-
priatiom for Marshals unaccom-
panied with extraneous legislative
restrictions, he will make no fur
Their call, but allow the whole mat
ter to go over until the regular ses-
sion next Winter. The second
theory is based upon a report, very
current at the Capitol, that the
Presidents friends have arranged
with fourteen or fifteen Southern
Democrats in the House of Repre-
sentatives for the ultimate passage
Of the bill, without riders.
A number of Western Democra Is
say boldly that General Garfield
made a trade with certain South.
ern Congressman, whereby, In con-
sideration of the Republicans al.
lowing the bill to provide for the
Mississippi River Com mission to
be passed, those Congressman
pledged their votes to help the
passage of all the appropriation
bills before Congress finally ad.
journed.
"Why," said a Western Demo-
crat the other day, "the trade is as
plain as the nose on a mau's face.
President Hayes knows that
through the sharp practice of Gar
field and other Republican leaders
the Democrats are divided, and
that if he keeps on reconvening
Congress he can eventually dictate
any te rms he wants. He proposes,
therefore, to take advantage of it,
and hence will not permit Con
gress to go away until he gets all
necessary supplies to carry on the
Government without restrictions OF
any kind"
These Western men say, howev-
er, that while they are certain that
few Southern men have made a
trade and mean to sell out their
Northern allies, it may be that the
goods cannot be delivered. They
declare, with all the vehemence of
language, that they will fillibuster
against the passage Of any other
bill for the support of Marshals
than the one which will be vetoed.
MacMahon, of Ohio, has even gone
so far as to serve notice on certain
Southern leaders that hereafter he
will not vote for any bill looking to
Improvements in the South, as u
distinctive proposition.
| The votes which it is claimed the
Administration has secured
throug General Garfield's diplo.
macy, are all of the Louisiana del
egation, three from South Carolina,
three from Georgia, and two from
Alabama. All these charges of
bargaining should be taken with
many grains of allowance, on ac-
count of the present state of ex-
cited feeling, and they are probably
unfounded; but there is undoubted-
ly considerable hope entertained
by the President (whatever may
be its basis), that a sufficient mum
Der of Democrats in both Houses
will unite with the Republicans
and pass a clean Appropriation bill
rather than continue the contest
further. Dispassionate observers
are still of the opinion, however,
that the President will be disap-
pointed in this hope, for the reason
Qffor no other) that its fulfillment
could be almost indefinitely de-
layed by the resort of a small mi
nority of the House to fillibuster-
ing tactics. 1t seems probable,
therefore, that after consuming y
few more days in another extra
session to no purpose, Congress will
adjourn until next December, leav-
ing the controversy in the same po-
sition that it will assume when the
present session terminates.
Extreme silver men in the Sem
ate are still unreconciled to the re-
| tention of Senator Bayard as Chair
man of the Finance Committee.
Eighteen Democratic Senators
signed a paper urging Bayard to
withdraw his resignation; sixteen
other Democratic Senators declined
to sign it, namely: Beck, Cockrell,
Coke, Garland, Grover, Hereford,
Houston, Jones, Maxey, Morgan,
Pandleton, Slater, Vest, Voorhies,
Walker and Williams.
The pronounced silver men who
signed the paper are, Wallace,
Thurman, Mcdonald, Ransom,
VaDe, Jones (of Florida), Call, Hill
| (of Georgia., Harris aud Bayley.
The remaining eight are Senators
in accord more or less with Bayard.
Of the seven Democratic Senators
absent when the paper was in cir.
culation, it is conceded that Cor
don, Lamar, Randolph, Mcpherson
and Farley would have united ia
the request to Bayard to retain the
Craftsmanship, but it is said John.
sten and Withers would have re.
fused to sign it.
Bullion dealers have been nOti-
fled by the Treasury Department
that offers of silver bullion for sale
to the Department will be received
on Wednesday of each week, the
bullion to be delivered at the Phil.
