Special Dispatches to The Bee.
WASHINGTON , Mrrch 3 10 p. m.
Senator Cameron had an interview
with Garfield yciterday afternoon and
presented , in behalf of all the republi
can members of the Pennsylvania del
egation , a protest against the appoint
ment of Wayne JicYeagh ei attorney-
general , or to any plao in the cabi
net. The delegation is very indig
nant at the proposition to appoint
McVeagh , and one of the loading
members eaid that his appointment
would break up the party in the state.
MoVeagh represents a small faction ,
and is not the party choice for any
placu
TAKINO LEAVE OF THE CABINET.
At a special cabinet session yester
day , all members were present. Only
routine business was transacted.
There will not be another seasl.-n in
the present administration. The cab
inet afterwards called on the presi
dent , wishing him s pleasant journey ,
and prosperity and happiness in the
future. The president's reply expressed
pressed- substance the same good
wishes for the gentlemen who have
been his intimate official associates
during the past four years.
GOOD BYE TO THE WHITE HOUSE.
All of the president's family but
Mr. and Airs. Hayes will leave the
White Honso this evening. They
will remain until to-morrow murniug ,
when they will turn it orer to Mr.
and Mrs. Garfield. Mr. and Mrs.
Hayes will then become the guest of
Secretary Sherman until Saturday
morning , when they go home.
IIAZUN'S LATEST.
There is great disappointment and
apprehension in the city among nil
classes over the prospects of a stcrm
here to-morrow , which is foreccst by
the weather bureau In the entire
history of Washington no such elab
orate arrangement for inauguration
and display have ever before been
made , and the expected snow storm
threatens to mar it all , and dhoom-
fort hundreds uf thousands of people.
Shortly after 5 o'clock clouds that had
been gathering began to drop rain ,
and the crowds that had hoped against
hope began to get within doors. An
hour later fine hail began to fall , but
this soon turned Into snow. The
streets were quickly covered , and
bunting in decorations assumed a
wilted appearanca. Every train com
ing in was heavily laden , and the es
corts of milltiry marched in sluah up
and down Pennsylvania avenue. All
through the evening the streets were
deserted , but hotel corridors were
crowded and the capitol wcs literally
jammed. Hackmen did a driving
busiuiss. Advices from the bureau
are to the effect that the storm will
blow off before morning , hut the day
may be cold and blustering. In any
event the condition of the streets will
not be pleasant for marching.
"SHOOTINO FOE GARFIELD AND AE-
WASHINGTON , March 4 1 a. m.
The Garfield and Arthur glee club ,
of Columbus , took possession of the
lobby of the Riegs house last night and
serenaded Governor Foster. The
singing was appreciated by the great
crowd in the hotel , as was also the
speech by Governor Foster , which
was followed by cheers for the
Governor of Ohio and Garfield.
The Seer of the senate wss thronged
wJth distinguished visitors yesterday.
The Governors Guard , of Colum
bus , Ohio , has arrived. They were

cutive Mansion. Afterwards the

and paid their respects to the gover
nor and staff.

It is asserted on good authority that

General Garfield made a call on his
mother at the White House yesterday

ant remarks.

Assistant Secretary French will act

present administration. *
The train carrying Gen. Hancock

o'clock last night , owin ? to the storm.

pensed with. He was immediately

well , where be was received by a large
company of friends. Later In the
evening he was serenade by the ma
rine band.

WASHIKOTON , March 3. Mr. Cor
moved to suspend the rules to con *
alder the apportionment bill and vote

After this had been disposed of
there was a clamor for recognition ,
and it wai finally agreed that the
house bills on the table with senate
amendments should be disposed of.
They were mainly of a private char
acter.
acter.Mr.
Mr. Van Voorhees moved to sus
pend the rules and pa&s a bill appro
priating 81 ( ) , OQ tor a public build
ing at Rochester , N. Y. As there
are over fifty other bills for public
buildings' on the calendar , there was
a geneial objection to singling out a
particular bill. Eveiy member
seemed to be on his feet yelling for
recognition , and as it was manifest
that nothing could be conducted
orderly , the house at 4:30 : p. m. took
a recess till 8 o'clock p. m. '
The house reassembled at 8 p. m.
Mr. Fordon , of New York , moved
to suspend the rules so aa to take up
and act upon pension bills which have
passed the senate , and such bills from
the senate as are private and relating
to pensions. Adopted. *
The deficiency bill was taken up ,
and the amendments were not con
curred in , and conference was re
quested. The reading of the report
was demanded , and then a number of
gentlemen refrained from voting by
tellers , which resulted in no quorum.
Messrs. Belford , Hooker and others
made a proposition that one hour
should bo devoted to the consideration
of the pension bills , and other busi
ness should then , be taken up. Re
jected , und the result wis that the
peaa and nays were called on every
pension bill.
The report of the conference com
mittee on the District of Columbia bill

315 and 307 in the order ts stated.
Adopted , the republicans reserving
the right to vote or not.
The proposition to make the num
ber 322 was rejected 119 against 132 ,
a strict party vote.
The roll was then called on a propo
sition to-make the number 319.
While the amendment to the sun
dry" civil bill of appropriating money
for an expedition to search for the
"Jeannette" was being discussed , Mr.
Singleton , of Illinois , called attention
to the fact that it was nuw 1210 ,
4th of March , and argued that this
congress had expired by constitu
tional limitation. He insisted that
his point of order was a good one ,
and moved to adjourn sine die.
The speaker said this same question
came up in 1851 , and the house de
cided by a large majority that the
session extended until March 4.
Mr. Singleton's motion to adjiurn
wr rejected , and he gave notice that
he would contest betore the supreme
court the constitutionality of all laws
passed after 12 o'clock.
The time was occupied discussing
ooints of order and questions of privi
lege.Mr.

Mr. Hoar contended the point of

ment was offered yesterday.
The question of order wn discussed
for some time , when Mr. Hoar ap
pealed to Mr. Moi i'l to withdraw the
amendment.
Mr. Merrill was net confident a,3

under any clrcunntancas. He doubted
if a 3 per cent , loan could la as
rezHly nogot'atd at * v'i ' t'-ne ' n a 3

WASHINGTON , March 3. 4 p. m.
The following is the veto message ol
the funding bill just presented to the
house :
To the home of representatives
"Having considered the bill enti
tled , 'an act to facilitate the funding
of the national debt , ' I em con
strained to return it to the house of
representatives in which it originated
with the following statement of my
objections to its passage. The imper
ative necessity for prompt action and
the pressure of the public duties
in this closing week o ! my term of
office compel me to refrain from ary
attempt to make a full and satisfac
tory presentation of the objections to
the bill. The importance of the pass
age at the present session of congress
of a suitable measure for the refundIng -
Ing of the national debt , which is
about to mature la generally recog
nized and has been urged upon
the attention of congress by
the secretary of the treasury ,
and in my last annual message.
[ f successfully accomplished it will
secure a large decrease In the annual
Interest payment of the nation. I
earnestly recommend if the bill before
you shall fail , that another measure
[ or this purpose be adopted before the
present congress adjourns. While
In my opinion it would bo wise to
authorize the secretary of the treas
ury at h'a ' discretion to offer to the
public bonds bearing 3 $ per cent , in
terest , in aid of the .refunding bill
I should not deem it niy1 duty to In
terfere. My constitutional objection
to the passage of the present if it did
not contain in its fifth section provi
sions which in my judgment seriously
Impair the value and tend to the de
struction of the present national bankIng -
Ing system ol the country. The sys
tem has now been' in operation almost
twenty yeais. No safer or more ben
eficial banking system was ever es
tablished. Its advantages as
a business are free to
all who have the necessary capital
to furnish a currency to the public for
convenience , and for security of the
billi and bondholder ? has probably
never been equalled by that of any
other banking system. 'Its notes are
secured by the deposit with the gw-
ernment of interest-bearing bondr.
Of the bill before me , that which re
lates to the national banking system ,
and to which objection is made is not
an essential part of the refunding
measure.
[ Hero follows the provisions of the
fifth section , which compels the ac
ceptance of three per cent bonda as
the only security for banking circu
lation and the safe keeping of public
moneys. ]
Under * this section it is obvious
that no national banks will hereafter
be organized except in a few cities or
localities where the prevailing rates
of interest in ordinary business are
extremely low. No new banks can be
organized , and no increase of capital
in existing banks can be obtained ex
cept by the purchase and deposit of
3 per cent bonds. No other bonds of
the United States ( Jan be used
for the purchase * of 81,000,000
of the bonds recently issued
by the United States and bearing a
higher rate of interest than
three per cent. , and therefore a better
security , for bill holders cannot after
the first of July next be received as
security for the bank's circulation.
This Is a radical change in the bankIng -
Ing law , taking from the banks the
right they have heretofoie had under
the law to purchase and deposit as se
curity of their circulation any of the
bonds by the United States ,
and" it deprives the bill holder
of the best security which
; he bunks are able to give by requir
ing them to deposit bonds having the
"east value of any bonds issued by the
government. The average rate of tax-
itlon of capital employed in 'banking
3 more than double the rate of taxa-
, ion on capital in their legitimate bus-
ness. Under these circumstances to
amend the banking law so as to derive -
> rive the bankers of. the advantage
> f securing . their notes by
; he most valuable bonds
ssned by the government will
t is believed in a large part of the
country to be a practical prohibition
of organlzjng nejr banks and will pre
vent the existing banks from enlarg.
ng their capital. The national bank-
ng system , if continued at all , will bo
a monopoly in the hands of these al
ready engaged in it who may purchase
government bonds bearing a more fa-
rorable rate of interest than 3 per cent ,
aonds prior to next July. To prevent
; he further organization of banks is to
put In jeopardy the whole sys
tem , by taking from ic that feature
which makes It , as it now is , a
aanking system free ujpbn the
same terms to all who wish to
engage in it. Even the existing
banks will be in danger of being
driven from business by the disadvan
tages to which they will be subjected
by this bill. In short , I cannot but
regard the fifth section of the bill as
a atep In the direction of the destruc
tion of the nations ! banking system of
our country.
Banks of Issue are essential instru
ments of modern commerce. If the
present system of banking Is broken
lown , it will inevitably bo followed
by a recurrence to inferior methods of
banking. Any measure looklne to
such a result will be a disturbing ele
ment in ur financial system. It will
destroy and surely check the growing
prosperity of th < j country. Believing
.hat a measure for refunding the na-
lonal debt is not necessarily connect
ed with the national banking law , and
that a refunding act will defeat its own
> bject and Imperil the national bank- '
ng .system or 'seriously ( impair
ts usefulness and confidence ;
hat- section five of the bill
> efore me would , if it should
lecomea law work great harm ,
' herewith return the bill to the house
of representatives for that further
consideration which Is provided for
in the constitution.
