The veto of the reconstruction bill will
positively be sent in to-day. 1t Is in print,
the last revise proof having been sent to the
printer at 10 o'clock last night, and was read
to the cabinet and approved.
Several of the democratic members say
that there is no intention on their part to de-
Law the passage of the bill. The veto of the
Tenure of office bill will be sent IN at the
same time. Democrats will resist the pass
age of the former.
Up to 10 O'Clock last night the President
had not received the army Appropriation bill.
He will also veto that.
Nearly all the new members Of the 40th
congress have arrived in Washington
The New York. Times special learns that
the testimony taken by the Judiciary commit
tee in the impeachment matter, thus far, is
of the most fiimsv and irrelavent nature
The reports of cabinet changes are moth
ing more than curbstone gossip.
The New York Herald's Montreal special
says:
The provincial territory will be declared a
kingdom at the first meeting of the united
REPRESENTATIVES,. and Prince Arthur, Third,
son of Queen Victoria, will assume charge of
| it. He is seventeen years of age, and one of
| his numerous names is Patrick, given as "a
mark of regard for the whole Irish people,
| He made his entry into public life in Dublin.
and it is supposed may do much in his exec
utiye capacity towards neutralizing the Irish
tendency towards fenianism in America.

| iourned sine die, yesterday.
The house carpenters of this city, Harlem,

| OLxEY, H., March To-day our town
was the scene of most fearful tragedy, re-
sulting in the death of one of our most wor-

name of John keranger came to town at
about three o'clock this afternoon and pro-
ceeded Immediately to the store of Shelby 4
| Dean and inquired for Mr. T. Smith, late
partner in that firm. He was told that Mr..
Smith was not in. He then turned to 60
out, when at the door he met the object OF
his search, and, without one word raised a
loaded musket with which he had provided
himself, and fired. The ball entered
the breast and passed through
the lungs and ont at the back. Mr.. Smith
lived but about ten minutes, The murderer
was arrested and is now in custody. He
says he come to town on purpose to Kill Mr.
Smith, aud that he accomplished his object
and will not try to escape. Mr.. Smith was
formerly treasurer of this county and was

The Y. y. Tribune's special says:
/ Several prominent republicans spent mucl
time with the President yesterday, and tina
is said to have caused the delay in sending
in the veto. The prominent democrats a;
well rs republicans were endeayoring to have
him sign the bill.
Thera seems little if any probability of th'
conference committee on the loan bill agree
ing. An effort in behalf of compromis,
! will be made, but the chances for the meas
ures are poor.
The \. Y. Worlds special says:

the President Yesterday and urged him t.
: sign the reconstruction BILL 1t is also sale

tire cabinet change.
