A WEIGHrY MAN GoNE.-Coroner
O'Keefe was yesterday called to the house
No, so Broadway, to hold an inquest on
the body of man of gigantic proportions,
who died soon after II o'clock on Saturday
night For the last fourteen years Mr..
Asher A Skillings has resided at the above
number, where he has kept shop for the
sale of fish and oysters. He was a jolly,
good humored man, and consequently made
friends with almost every one with whom
he was brought in contact. He has always
been very corpuent, but during the last
seven years rapidly increasing in size, so
that he was able TO walk only short dis
tance at time. Accordingly to the testi-
mony of Edward McFadden, who had long
been in his employ, Mr.. Skillings, p years
ago, weighed AGO pounds, and Of late his
weight, although appearing almost incredi-
BILE was sir hundred and serenity eight
pounds! His health was generally very
good, but about two weeks ago he received
information that the premises so long occu-
pied by him were to be pulled down, which
rendered it very necessary for him to
move. This seemed to trouble bis mind
very much; he fell i'll, and growing worse,
died as stated. Drs. Benton, Beach, and
Gallagher made post mortem. Most Of
the internal organs were healthy but evi-
dences of intemperance were apparent
The physicians, after finishing their exam
inqtion, decided that death was coused by
disease of the liver, aud verdict to that
effect was rendered by the jury. Mr. Skill
ling was unmarried, 80 years of age, and
q native of Portland, Maine.
The physician making the post naortem
weighed some of the internal organs-the
liver weighed 16a pounds, and the heart 2
pounds ounces. The fat on his abdomen

The latest rllinoi. Excitement.

Gov. Bissell returned the apportionment
Bill to the House on the 22d ult., with
his objections, when the Douglasites forci-
bly, elected the Governors Secretary, who
brought the veto in. The bill was taken
from the hands of the Page by Mr.. Green,
who threw it on the floor. Mr.. Church,
Republican, picked the document up, and
placed il on the Speakers desk, and the
Speaker knocked it off. Mr.. Green, Doug
lasite. then put it in his pocket. During
these disgraceful proceedings the greatest
excitement existed in the House.
A dispatch from Springfield to the Chi
cago Press, dated the 22d ult., reports "no
quorum in the House. Senate in session.
General dispersion tomorrow. No Appro-
priation bill passed., Democrats enraged.
Republicans jubilant."
An extra session to pass Appropriation
bills will probably be called by the Cover
nor, at which session the Legislature must
confne itself to the business specified in
the proclamation. We sec it stated that
the Speaker of the House declares that less
than quorum cannot adjourn sine die, and
that he will sit every day, until January

Free and Slave states.

The Federal Union now consists of thir-
ty-three States, in eighteen of which slave
ry is excluded. The Free States have sc
Senators and I47 Representatives. The
fifteen Slave States have 80 Senators and
80 Representatives. The preponder:nce
of Free States is yeraly getting stronger,
and there is no arresting the progress
Kansas and Nebraska must be admitted be-
fore long, and the new Territories of Jeffer-
son, Dakota and Arizona be organized TO
come in after proper time as Free States.
Washington Territory will yet enter the
same door as California and Oregon, and
il is now nearly certain that six Free States
will be added to the Union before our pres
ent Slave territory will form single new
State. 1t is only by acquisition of Cuba
that Slave States can be brought in
The people of Mexico and Central Ameri-
ca do not tolerate our American negro
slavery, and should the United States ac-
quire possessions there, ten chances TO one
the free, euterprising Yankees would head
eff the slave drivers in numbers, and mould
the institutions of the new States in spite
of them.
Texas is big enough for two or three
new States, but the shareholders have so
far neglected to colonize her fertile lands
where new slave States might grow up
quietly and without serious opposit'o from
the North, that it is quite propable West
ern Texas will set up claims to Free
State organization before other portions of
the State become populous enoug II to di-
vide. The freedom-loving Germans now
from the principal and fiourishing settle
ments of Western Texas, and the free gate
of Kansas being opened, the tide of emi-
grafton will soon roll southwark along the
eastern slope of the Rocky Mountains with
resistless sweep.
The past is a pretty good index of the
future. Since 1S45, when Florida and
Texas were admitted, there have been no
new Slave States, and yet since then, the
Free States of Iowa, Wisconsin, California,
Minnesota, and Oregon have been received
into the Union.-Daily Leader,

rETbe WASHINGTON STATES of Wednes

HThe Washington States of Wednes
day last, says: .We have seen private
letter which came by the last steamer, from
a gentleman occupying a high position on
the Island of Cuba, which states that COM
missioners sent by Miramon had arrived in
Havanna on their way to St. Thomas, to
enter into negotiations with Santa Anna,
for his return to take the head of the mon
archist party in Mexico. On his accep-
tance, Europe becomes the unlimited mis-
tress of the future of our unfortunate neigh
Dor. Our Cabinet must at this moment
have the certainty before it. that its delay
to recognize Juarez has laid the liberal in
terests of Mexico and our own at the feet
of the European policy of American re-
preston. All our views and statements
with regard to Miramon's party being used
as the inscriptions tools of the European
dictatorate in Mexico, are in rapid process
of verifcation. Santa Anna is to be re-
called to complete the subjugation of Mex
leo to the absolute, unlimited control of the
monarchists.

REASONABLE CURIOSITY IN DYING
MANI was a bright thought, that of
Smithson, the founder of the Smithsonian
Institution, when he was dying of an un-
known complaint. Smithson had had five
doctors, and they had been unable to dis
cover what the disease,was. At length they
told the patient he must die. Calling
them all around him, he said:
my friends, after die, make a post
morlen examination, and find out what
ails me; for renly l have heard such long
and learned discussions on the subject, that
l am dying to know what the disease is
myself.
