The Pesssleas anA vess.
There can b no doubt bat that Prssi-
dent Arthur was earnest and sincere In
his veto Of the River and Haxtof Bill,
and that his ARst impulse Was 70 veto II.
Notwithstanding this, be wavsEed ct
times, on account Of tbs sntreatiss Of .
great majority Of the ConRressmsn and
his personal friends, yet he never aban-
doned the idea, and he never for mo-
mont entertained tho idea that the bill
w,uld pass over the veto. Tho stories
which Some Congrsssmen circulated, to
the effect that tho President vetoed the
bill for tho political advantage which
the act might give him, yet at heart &c
hoped that it might yet become law,
and urged his friends TO endeavor to
make il Law, are smphatically untrue.
The attention Of tho President having
been called to the fact that tho repre-
ssntati lns ware msde privately In tho
Senate by those Who are his friends and
Who have been generally assumed to b.
ooms TO some extent his mouth piece,
that tho President would really DO pleas.
cd TO have the bill passed, General Ar
thur expressed tho greatest surprise and
indignation. He could not at first be-
lisve the statement, and 70 gentleman
who vas calling upon him, said he had
NOT iutimatsd TO mortal man desire
that the bill should be passed over his
veto, and hs never supposed that 1t
could BE-. He Was told emphatically,
however, that the senators who are gen.
orally supposed to be near him. and who
have entree to the White House at ell
hours, did say In substance, The Presi-
dent has made all he wants by having
vetoed the bill; he will not caro- il the
bill should now become q Law. II would
really be a kindness TO him TO pass it
oyer his head" General Arthur sent
for thoss who made these false state
ments concerning him. There il good
reason 70 think he called them sharply
to account for 70 gross An assumption Of
authority, and such wilfull psrversion Of
the Presidents purposes. There can be
no possible doubt but that tho President
was entirely sincere in his veto and that
10 expected his signature to tho veto
message defeated the bill. Il is equally
clear that some who claim to be intimate
friends Of the President have grossly
m;sreprssented him.
