Twill be remembered that the Hon.
G. s. Hamilton. Member of Congress
from Ohio, was murdered last Dscem.
ber by his insane son. A few days ago
the wife of Mr.. Hamilton died. For
several years past she had exhibited
symptoms of insanity, and the death of
her husband, it is stated, SO affected her
that she, too, became violently insane.
The unfortunate son, who Is in luna
tic asylum, is said to be slowly recov-
ering his reason. They were residents
of Union county, Ohio, and universally
respected. Mr.. Hamilton occupied his
seat in Congress but few weeks when
he was called home in consequence of
the insanity of his son, and met his sad
death

COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL.
Financial Review for May.
From the N. Y. Commercial Cs1UnfeI

.
The usual stringency OF money In
March and April was followed in May
| by a very decided reaction towards the
! other extreme. The contraction of bn-
siness neceSSitated by the pressure OF
the former period was naturally at
tended by a limited demand for ac-
commodation from merchants through
out the country, and at most of the
commercial centre there has prevailed
an abundance of idle funds, which
have gravitated hither, and are now
seeking employment at very low rates
of interest, At the same time the loan
able resources OF the banks have been
increased by the payment Of about
four millions of interest in the redemp-
tion of Compound Interest. Notes,
dated May 15, 1865, both principal and
interest of which have been paid in s
per cent. certificates, absorbing the
whole of the latter.
The fact of money being now Sa4 per
cent on demand loans, while choice
commercial paper is negotiable at per
cent, Is an indication of stagnant
condition of general trade. In most
branches of business the spring trade
has proved unsatisfactory, the only re-
ally healthy demand having come from
the West, which has been exception
ably prosperous through Its abundant
crops. Retail dealers complain of the
contracted purchases OF their custom
erS, and that their business Is SO over
done by the multiplicity OF traders that
they cannot make an average profit; and
jobbers, under these circumstances, are
naturally cautious about the standing
OF the parties TO whom they sell.
The general unprohtableness of
trading enterprises and the plethora of
money have induced an extension of
speculative transactions in securities,
and especially so on Governments. A
variety of considerations have conduc-
ed to diverting operations in that direc-
ton, prominent among which may be
mentioned the near tcompletion of the
funding process, and the consequent
filling up OF the outstanding authOriza-
tiOns for loans. The high prices of real
estate have had an influence in causing
investors to shun that mode of en-
ploying their funds, while the high
prices of railroad stocks have tended to
deter spectators from touching them.
Under the influence OF this and other
circumstances, there was during the
latter half of May an unprecedented
demand, which toward the close car
ried up prices beyond all precedent.
Transactions in all kinds of bonds
have consequently been large.

they will claim it as Democratic gain.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS.

The resolution directing the Commit
tee on the Judiciary to report bill To-
by Mr.. Welch on Thursday, was read
by the Clerk.
A lengthy discussion followed, in
which 1t was urged that the Capital
should be located for the good of the
State, that the people demanded t,and
that the Legislature could do 1t, If the
work was entered upon, in a very few
days, and there was no better time to
do the work than now as for the next
ten days there would be nothing else
to take up the time with. On the other
hand, 1t was replied that 1t was all IA
fallacy about the good of the State de-
manding the location of tho Capital,
that tue people did not demand II, that
the Legislature could come no nearer a
settlement of the vexed question now
than it could last session, and
that no business should be transacted
except that for which the session was
called. If before the time at which the
session would close the Code could be
disposed of, then it would be proper
enough to attempt to locate the Capital.
In tho midst OF the discussion Mr..
Chase EDem.l offered u substitute for
the resolution directing the Judiciary
Committee to enquire into and report
the most favorable contract that can
be found available for the use of neces-
Sary buildings, with view of keeping
the seat of government at Wheeling for
from five to ten years hence" which
was read by the Clerk.
Mr.. Hervey moved TO lay the whole
matter on the table, and the House re-
fused.
After debate on the substitute offered
by Mr.. Chase, Mr.. Armstrong demand
ed the previous question, and the de-
mnnd was sustained.
The main question (the adoption of
the snbstitute) being ordered, Mr.. Fer
guson, of Cabell, demanded the yeas
and nays.
The substitute was lost by yeas l6,
nays %.
The question being upon the adoption
of the resolution, the debate was con-
tinued at length.
Mr.. Hervey moved that the resolu-
tion lie on the table, and the House re-
fused.
The vote upon the adoption OF the
resolution was taken by yeas and nays,
MIR. Ferguson, of Cabell, demanding
them, and resulted is yeas to 20 nays.
So the resolution was rejected.
Mr.. Blair said ho supposed il was to
be distinctly understood now that the
House would not embark in the Capt.
tai question.
Mr.. Pinnell, by leave, introduced
House Bill No. 4, providing for the con-
struction and maintenance of railroad
and branches from Franklin Iron
Works to the B. * o. Railroad in the
county of Preston.
On motion of the same gentleman,
the rules were suspended and the bill
read first, second and third, times and
passed.
On motion of Mr.. Riddle, the rules
were suspended and the bill dividing
Richie county into Assessors Districts
read second and third times and
