C., Fob. 24.—There never has been such a preasuce upon the Prestlent for any measure as thero has been by opponcuts of the Bllver bill for a veto, e is constantly be- sleged by representatives of the Eastern moncy power. The Importunities of friends of the old United Btates Bank ou Otd Hickory were not greater. The friends of tho bill are becomiug reassurcd as to the result. They are contident that, whether there is o veto urnot, the bilt will become a law, The President 1s nlao understood to entertaln that oplolou. Statemnents ore still made that ho will vermit the bill to become law without his signature by the expiration of the conatitutional period of limitation, or that he will sign it with a message of protest, This latter report Ia credited to-night hy persons generally well ioformed, AN EASTERN CONGRESSMAN who rcprosents large moncy interests, be- coming alarmed at theso statcments, called upon the President to-day.

It was o construed by lls Eastorn tistencr. Other rentlemen who talked with the President yesterday have the utnost confidence that he will veto. A SIGNIPICANT PEATURE of tho situation is, that a number of Eastern antl-silver men taku tho ground that, fn tlie present temper ot Cougress, the bill us passed is better than any onu likely tobe obtained after a veto; that, if defeated by a veto, if Je were possible, it would creato such a fecling as to lead to the passagu of what they would con- sider a worse bill, ‘'hicy also urge that o set- tlement of the qnenlun 18 of the greatest Ime portance In view of the opening spring trade.
