WASHINGTON, June 23.-A conference OF leading

House to-day, for the purpose of discussing the ac-
ton of the minority in case resolution providing
for an adjournment sine die should be introduced

finally disposed of The conference very brief
and it was decided that the Republican members
should oppose any such resolution by voting against
It, and that they should pursue the same course #

THE PRESIDENTS DUTY CLEAR.
forbear to enter again upon any general discus
sion Of the wisdom and necessity of the Election
laws OF of the dangerous and unconstitutional prn-
ciple of this bill-that the power vested IN Con-
gress to originate appropriations involves the right
to compel the Executive to approve any legislation
which Congress may see fix to attach to such bills,
under the penalty of refusing the means needed 10
carry on tle essential functions of the Government
My views ON these subjects have been sufilciohIiy
presented in the special messages sent by me 10 inc
House of Representatives during their present SEES
sion. What was said in those messages regard as
conclusive TO my duty in respect to the bill before
me. The arguments urged IN these communications
against the repeal of the Election laws ana against
the right of Congress to deprive the EXecutlNe OF
that separate and independent discretion ana jung
ment which the Constitution cOn1ers ana requires
are equally cOgcnt III opposition 10 tnis OIL
This measure leaves the powers and dutcs ol VIC
Supervisors of elections untouched. The coinpensa-
ton of those officers Is provided for under peTia-
nent laws, and no liability for when an appropri
ton is now required would therefore he incurred by
their appointment. But the power OF the National
Government to protect them in the discharge Oh
their duty AT the polls would he taken away Inc
States may employ both civil and military power at
the elections bat by this bill even the civil author,
ity to protect the Congressional elections Is denied
TO the United States The object IS 10 prevent any
adequate control By the United States over tho Ma
tional elections by forbiddng the payment of dep
uty marshals, the officers who are clothed with
authority 10 enforce the Election laws
The fact that these laws are deemed objectionable
By a majority of both Houses OF Congress is urged
as a sufficient warrant for this Legislation. There
are two lawful ways TO overturn legislative enact
ments-one is their repeal the other is the decision
of a competent tribunal against their Validity. Inc
effect of this bill is to deprive the Executive Depart
meDt of the Government Of the means to execute
laws, which have not been declared Invalid, ana
which il is therefore the duty OF the Executive
and of every other Department of the Government
to obey and to enforce.
have In my former messages on this subject eX-
pressed a Willingness TO concur In suitable amend
ments for the Improvement of the Election laws;
but cannot consent to their absolute and entire
repeal and cannot approve legislation which seeks
to prevent their enforcement.

THE sFNATE-THE PRNCIrAL SPEECH BY MIR.
HILL.
lBY TELEGRAPH TRIBUNE.l
WASHINGTON June 23.-The Democrats of the
Senate held long caucus this afternoon iInme-
diately after the adjournment of the Senate. Al
though its direct results were somewhat indefinite,
ii is considered to have been an important meeting
aud probably destined TO lead TO a speedy eud Of
the present session of Congress.
The subject under considg Grafton was the course to
b pursued by the party in view OF the position
taken by tie President in tie veto message Scut to
Congress to-day. Several propositions which have
already been discussed in the papers accident
ally referred to; but ii very soon became apparent
that large majority of the Senator's especially
those from the South. were heartily opposed to the
extreme measures entertained by Senators Wallace.
Eaton and Voorhees, aud by the leaders OF the party
in the House, and were IL favor of passing such
Judicial bill as the President would sign and then
Of adjourninc Senator Mcdonald made the first
speech taking TINS ground but the leading spet ch
OF tie caucus 10 understood 20 have been made by
Senator Hill.
When the caucus came to Order Mr. Vest, Of
Missouri secured the floor and took the ground
that the issue presented by the message can be
properly met only by prompt adjournment of both
houses Of Congress-
MeSofs. MCDONALD, lHuIhIoH "iiu ilIi w
posed the proposition with great emphasis; and
Messrs. Butler. Maxey Morgan, Pendlet0n, Eaton,
Beck and Hampton also all made brief remarks in
opposition TO the idea of adjourniDg without further
efforts 10 provide the necessary appropriations.
Nh. Hill said that the President had evidently
based his veto upon one single clause of the Judi
cial bill-a clause which Mr.. Hill did not consider
70 be material or important lie interpreted the
failure Of the President TO object to the other pOt
cal features of the bill to be plain
Indication, if, indeed it we're not a direct
admission, that he would approve the bill
with those features attached. He said that In his
Judgment il was the duty Of the party to meet the
advances OF the President by passing the appropri-
a'ioh OIL before adjournment He regarded the re-
peai OF the jury test oath important and practi
cal lie regarded il as impossible under the exist
inquiry law to get fair juries As to the deputy
narohalS Mr.. lii said that he believed the Presi-
oeht could not now create liabilities aud certainly
eouId not pay them without an appropriation By
Congess
Inc most important feature Of the veto message,
'Naior I'M sald,was the admission that the simple
b'ect % appropriate money would be no ground
Vi 'e'Oing the bill aud therefore lac held that the
DvAOcfats could easily meet the Presidents views

message at the conclusion Of the reading, but

enough to pass 1t over the veto. The Democrats

Icy TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUSE.l
WASHINGTON, June 23.-More than three months
ago the representatives of the Cherokee Nation
asked the Secretary Of the Interior to submit three
propositions TO the Attorney-General. The ques-
tons involved matters of jurisdiction, intrusion
into the Indian Territory, and the mode OF de-
termining Indian citizenship. To these the COM
missioner of Indian Affairs added another question,
as to whether absent Cherokees, who by their laws
had expatriated themselves, could be recognized as
having claims against the Nation. Although the
questions were raised by the Cherokee repre-
sentatives they less affected all
the civilized tribes of the Indian Territory, and an
elaborate brief Of sixty pages was submitted from
the Indian Office. taking ground against the claims
Of its wards After labOrOus investigation the posi-
ton taken by the CherOkees was sustained the de-
cisions of AttoTne ycneru Deveus being similar TO
decisions rendered by Acknowledgements Writ and
Cushing and containing elaborate references 10 de-
cisions by the Supreme Court. The decision was
sent with all the papers in the case to the Interior
Department but the Cherokee delegates have so
far been refused copy, and Mr. Ross the agent of
the Cherokees, says that the solicitor of the In
terror Department insists that the Attorney -Gen-
eral shalt take his decision bsck and make another
one more in consonance with the wishes OF persons
who have for years been making war on the rights
of these Indian people.
