A GRAND MUSICAL FEAsT.-We
can assure our readers and the lovers
of music generally, in the city of
Evansville. without any attempt at
exaggeration, that the Opera by the
Leiderkranz, at the new Turner's
Hall, tonight, will be one of the
grandest and most pleasing entertain
ments ever attempted in this city.
The orchestra is composed of over
twenty musicians, comprising the
Crescent City Silver Band and num-
of violinists, together with the best
selections from other bands and few
amateurs. There are also twenty -four
vocalists, comprising much of the best
talent of the city. The costumes and
scenery are most deliberately and ex-
penslvely gotten up, and are highly
appropriate. We had the privilege of
witnessing the last grand rehearsal
last night, in costume, except the la
dies, and the effect was really charm
ing.
Some of the scenes are truly mag
nifcent, and the music as delightful
as we ever heard. No one can stay
away tonight without losing an I'M
equalled musical treat. The humor
Gus is admirably blended with the
sublime, at times approaching almost
the ridiculous The representations
are so highly artistic that no one
however ignorant of the language.
can fail to understand the plot Re
served seats can be secured at Warren
Il Conyngton's by applying early
to-day.

Z. DEAD.-7We are deeply grieved to
learn that our young friend, Perry
aMcGrif, eldest son Of Mr.. An. Nc
Grif, City Clerk, died at 10 o'clock
yesterday. La all our city we could
not have pointed out more exempla-
ry young man, or one more universal
ly esteemed. OF him it may be truly
said.
'NOne knew him but to love,
None named him but TO praise"
His disease was that fell enemy of
the human race = consumption
against the insidious approach of
which he has struggled for nearly a
year-ever hoping against hope until
at length, in the bloom of youth and
early manhood, surrounded by warm
and doating friends, he is cut off
from earth to find, we hope, a peace
full home,
"In that better land
Where time does not breathe on
Its fadeleSs bloom,
Beyond the stars, and far beyond
The tomb"
To his bereaved parents and friends
we tender our heartfelt coincidence
and unfeigned sympathy.

Gov. Wells Veto.

The House met at II NJ, pursuant to adjournment
seventy members present. Speaker presiding.
Prayer was offered by the Rev. DR.. Hedges
The following message from the Governor was ther
read:
STATE OF LOUISIANA EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT (
New Orleans, February Is, 1857.
To the House of Representatives:
return herewith, without my signature " an act tt
take the sense Of the people the expediency of call
ing convention to form constitution and to pro
vide for the election of delegates and for the holding
of the convention"
1.-THE general object of the bill received my sane
ton, could not consistently with regard to sense
my constitutional duty and respect for the preroga
tives of the office hold, give it my approval First
because believe the bill in its title and substance Is
in violation of article No. us of the constitution oil
the State which provides that every law enacted by
the Legislature shall embrace but one object, and that
shall be expressed in the title regard the OF
the people on calling convention and voting for del
egates as distinct and separate objects. Secondly,
the bill ignores the Governor in the issuing the usual
wrts of election and to that extent is invasion of
his constitutional rights which make his duty to see
that the laws are faithfully executed. must further
construe this feature of the bill intentional under
the belief that would refuse to obey the law an I'M
putation am not willing, by any act of mine, to coul
tenance or admit. These objections are regarded by
me ustifyng the Withholding of my approval of the
bill, and l. therefore, refrain from entering into dis
cussion Of the question to the expediency Of the
measure. concede in the fullest sense the right of
the people to alter the laws amend the constitution
provided they are loyal and true to the Government
of the United States.
am justified in believing, from events Transporting
in Congress- that convention of the people, as pro-
yded for in the bill under consideration, would not
be permitted recognised. Whether in view of this
almost certain and fixed fact it is expedent or polite
to persist in the enactment of law that be ex
ecuted is question l leave to the consideration of
the Legislature. will only further say if the bin is
submitted to me, its merits as regards expediency
free from all objections in its phraseoiogy, pre-:
pared to meet the issue.
