FEARS OF A VETO.
The President has spent the evening in
dis library considering the river and har-
hor Olll. Secretary Eudicott and the
Chief0f Engineers of the Army have been
with him. Nobody knows whether he
Will sign it or not. Speaker Carlisle, who
saw him this evening. said alterward
that while be did not know what the
Pres dent would do, he thought he would
veto it. This seems to be the opinion of
the majority of the memb bers. On the other
hand. Chairman Willis, OF the Committee
on Rivers and HarbOrs, insists quite
stoutly that the President Will sign the
bill. 1t Is believed that the President
viii announce his decision tomorrow.
Congress is expected to stay here till he
does. The session is ending with unusual
Quietness. This Is largely due to the fact
tuat no day having been fixed tor adjourn
ment it has not been possible tor anybody
b move for the suspension of the rules, as
is sordinarily possible during the last six
days If the session.
THE GEORGIA JUDGESHIP.
The Georgia Senators and Representa-
tive, are hearing a great deal from the
candidates for the district Judgeshlp of
Northern Georgia. Senator Colquitt said
tonight that he thought the President
would make the appointment before leav-
Ing the city for his trip to the AdirOn-
dacks He can appoint a Judge while
Congress Is not in session, in spite of the
idea to the contrary, but it is true that
the Judge cannot draw any salary until
be has been confirmed by the Senate.
MIR. sAUSSY A CANDIDATE.
MIR. Norwood has not, as has been re-
ported, presented the name OF j. Il.
ssussy, of Savannah, to the President in
this connection, although he intends to do
SO as soon as Congress a6journs. He
went up to the White House TO present
Mr.. Saussy's name, but the President told
lin that inasmuch as the court would
rot meet before October be would post
rone consideration OF the matter until
Congress got away, so MIR. Norwood
thought he had better wait.

sented the name Of a. S. Irwin to the
PRESIDENT.

Ie'ed that the President will appoint a

1oes not make the appointment until Oc-
Do5r' as some OF those who have talked

TIE TARIFF SPEECHES.
Mr.. Kelley printed a tariff speech in
yAe congressional Record to-day which
covered little over eight pages. Its
main idea is that the Morrison tariff bill
was framed by an eX-Confederate on the
4 lNe OF economic policy adopted by the
confederate states. Mr.. Randall did not
.et chance to get his tariff speech in
"-day. lie will probably obtain leave to
tIht II IN the Congressional Record. In
.tt event, or in the event that he gets it
q l1 10 the House. Mr.. Morrison will have
'OAe remarks to make.
