WUAT THE DEMOCRATS Sa ‘he democrats in Congress affect to be delighted at the veto of the little deficiency bill. They say it demon- strates the purpose of the republicans to use the federal election machinery for partisan pur- poses. A prominent democratic Senator said “the veto will shock the conservative sense of the country and make the way to democratic Victory tn the coming election easy. Hayes ould not do a vetter thing tor us, ‘THE FcNenal. of Capt. John Barry, late of the U.S. army, took place this afterncon trom 925 New Jersey avenue.

This ‘will leave but four bills to be disposed of—the legis- lative, executive and judtetal, the sundry efvil, the river and harbor, and general deticiel bills. The river and harbor bill is already pre- pared by the commerce committee, and the re- eaine bills will be ready within Une next ten ays. BEFORE THE DONNELLY-FINLEY INVESTIGATIN' committee yesterday, Mr, Donnelly stated, in reply to a question, that his reasons for sus- pecting that the anonymous letter to Mr. permet came froin Washburn’s friends were that on the Isth of February last he (Mr. Don- nelly) received a telegram from the editer of the Daily Globe, of St. Paul, Minn., saying that a reliable republican had stated that money was being raised In St. Paul and Minneapolis to buy Washburn through; also, that W. S. King had been in Washington most of the winter, as he (Mr. Donnelly) thought, in hiding, as-he was hot registered at the hotel where he was stop- ping; Uhat he was In the city, as_he expected to rove, March 4, (the date of the anonymous letter;) and also because King had written wit- hess @ letter which was simply a threat that he would cover witness with abuse if he persisted in tracing the letter to htm. Mr. Donnelly also testified that the supplemental brief as to Isante county Was not left at Mr. Springer’s house March 4, as stated by Mr. Springer, but several days later.
