The Vetoed BilI-senntors and Represen-
tatives Free Their Minds-Other Mat
tiers.
WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE veto of the
Chinese bill is the sole topic tonight. Poll
ticians are divided on it's effect. It is conceded
that the bill will not pass over the veto. The
Democrats think it will rebound to their ben
eft. The Pacific delegations are disappoint-
ed and almost mad. Senator Miller thinks it
great mistake from Republican point OF
view, but doubts not that the Californians
will take the matter in their own hands and
keep the Chinese away Senator Farley says
the Democrats of California can stand it if
the Republicans of the whole country can.
Senator Bayard will vote to sustain the bill,
also Senators Beck, Pendleton and nearly all
the Democrats. Senator Beck says the bill is
killed and does not suppose anything can be
done. Senator Jonas says the President puts
himself in silly light in suggesting any
form of bill that would suit him. The Re-
publicans generally are satisfied except Sena-
tors Miller of California, and Hill of Colora-
do. Senator Jones of Nevada is not here.
Messrs Miller of New York, Sawyer and
Hale, of the seven Republicans who voted for
There seems to be no prospect of any attempt
to frame a new bill this session. Mr.. Pacheco,
of California, said he very much regretted
the matter as it would cause great agitation
on the Pacific coast and injure business and
upset things generally Mr. Berry was very
hot. He said he thought it great outrage
and had SO expressed himself very publicly.
1t would be good thing for
the Democracy as the Republicans would
not have 20, 900 votes, but it was death to the
Pacific coast business. Mr.. Rosecrans said
he supposed they would have to stand it, but
it was pretty tough and was death blow po-
litically to those bringing it about. Mr..
Hewitt said he presumed it would be passed
with the ten years clause instead of twenty.
It would hardly pass the House over the veto
even if it did the Senate, and there was no
disposition to push it in this manner. Mr..
More, of Tennessee, who opposed the bill,
had doubts even of its passage with
the ten years clause. Mr.. Carpenter, of
Florida, who opposed the bill, didn't believe
it would injure the party, for no party could
be injured permanently for refusing to do
wrong. Mr.. George, of Oregon, thought it
dangerous blow to the Republicans of the
Pacific coast and an injustice to the people Of
InaG SeCtlOn. MT. Wills, OF honLuCky,
champion of the bill, says it insures the Pa
cifc coast to the Democracy. Mr.. Robinson,
of Massachusetts,, was satisfied with the veto
and sure it would not hurt his party's
prospects. No party could afford to do a
wrong act for effect. Mr.. Williams.
of Wisconsin, chairman of the Foreign At
| fairs committee, was pleased with the veto,
and while he would oppose the bill with even
five or ten years. clause, he presumed such
bill would pass. If the Chinese are to be
excluded he thought it should be by treaty
to that effect by which China would keep her
subjects at home. Mr.. Page, of California,
refused to express himself on the subject.
Mr.. Kasson thought this the only conclusion
| thinking man could reach. He thought a
ten years bill would pass with change in
the passport system.
Mr.. Scoville is sick abed, being us ed up by
work. He expects to have to argue the Gui-
| teau case Guiteau has his book ready to
print.
The Mason case was considered by the Cab
met to-day. Secretary Lincoln approved
General Swaims decision. No final action
will be taken until the Supreme Court pro-
ceedings are concluded. The benefit for Mrs
Mason to-day Melted $500. The fund now
amOunts to nearly S4 600
