WASHINGTON, April 2S.-The number of
those who confidently look for veto is rap
idly increasing, and large proportion of
the Democrats who professed to believe
that the bill would be approved now admit
there is little ground for hope. Several
members of congress called upon General
Key lastnight to learn what the President
would do with the bill, and they report
that he said he had no knowledge of the
intentions of the president in the matter,
but he Key was emphatically.
IN FAVOR OF A VETO.
Unless nearly everybody is misled by the
surface indications at the White House the
veto will be sent to congress on Wednes-
day. 1t is thought the debate in the senate
will be brief on the legislative appropria-
ton bill, and as there is little or no doubt
OF its being vetoed, the move conservative
Democrats will favor joint resolution con.
tinuing last years appropriation bills in
force until December. This plan will be
opposed by very considerable number of
Southern and Western members, who will
favor

ments as Independent measures will not
meet with much favor as it would run tho
session into July or August. The leading
Democrats freely admit that grave error
has been committed in the mode of pro
ceedure, and that the only course left is tc
make temporary provision and 60 home
and submit the matter to the people.
THE LEGISLATIVE APPROPRIATION BILL
reached the senate to-day, and was referred
to the committee on appropriations, and
will probably be reported to the senate on
Thursday next.

Lowe explains by saying that Logan is no

ing to receive any communication from
him.
THE PRESIDENT
has issued his proclamation warning all
persons against emigrating into the Indian
territory and telling themif they do they will
be removed thcrefrom by the aid of troops
if necessary. The President has been COM
PEELED to this course by the fact that an en-
petition has been put on foot for the inva-
sion and settlement Of a part Of the Indian
territory, which under the law can only be
occupied by the indian tribes.
ARGUMENTS FOR THE VETO.
1t is said tonight that the veto message
has been prepared by Evarts, and he will
make 1t strong on the question of the sur
render of the executive prerogativc. When
the fact is borne in mind that Evarts was
the counsel of Andrew Johnson in the i'm
parchment trial and subsequently his at
toncy-gcncral, and that he made his great
fight on the theory that executive preroga-
tives could not be cncroached upon,
and when ii is further remembered that
johnson was acquitted mainly on that
ground and by the votes Of Democrats, a
strong argument is prescntedt to the Democ-
racy in congress in favor OF sustaining the
veto. rs repudiatc this idea is to say that
the Democracy was wrong in working for
Johnsons acquittal. In the forthcoming
veto message elaborate quotations will be
made from the proceedings Of the johnson
