THE GOVERNOR AND THE LEGISLATURE.

Legislative circles are greatly excited over
two little declarations made by Gov. Palmer.
He has declared, in the first place, that he
will not approve any bill until he has care.
fully examined it from end to end aud, in
the second place, that he will not approve a
single bill after the legislature adjourns.-
This means that nearly all the bills must
fail for want Of executive approval, or that
the session must be indefinitely prolonged.
The governor could not read, in whole
mouth, the bills passed by the house this
afternoon, and it has as many more yet on
the way, while but a very few senate bills
have passed. There have been $50 bill in.
troduced in the senate and $50 bills in the
house and, on last Monday, only II house
bills aud senate bills had been laid before
the governor. They are going in to him
now, however, by the basketball; but, as
the legislature kept him idle for 60 days
waiting for bills to approve,he now proposes
to keep the Legislature here idle for GO days,
aud on a dollar day at that, until be has
time to approve them. 1t is a good joke,
but excessively practical. The programme
now is, to take recess until AllFools'
day.

ence in the business. liz 1862 he went to
New York city, and practiced law there till
Sept. 1865, when he came to Davenport.
He resided in this city, part ofthe time,
in Judge Drury's house, aud is known to a
large number Of our citizens. When the
peoples party came into power in Daven-
port, Mr.. McNeal was made city attorney.
He isa young man, ofirreproachable charac.

The ARGUS has been, as | desired it

them with what ability it could. It has
often come in conflict with friend and foe,

Towards my professional brethren, and

And now, with humbing consciousness
Of having experienced through life more

Fearful Tragedy-A Young Man Shot
Dead by n Woman.

From the New Albany (Ind.) Ledger, sth.l
At about half.past one o'clock this after
noon the people in the -neighborhood of
Water and Upper Third streets were thrown
into n state OF excitement by the loud re-
port of a pistol. A crowd soon gathering,
It was ascertained that Mr.. s, S. Moore, ir.
a son of s. S. Moore, Esq, and a clerk in
his fathers store, on Main St., near Pearl
had been shot and killed by Mrs. Melissa
Morton, wife Of John Morton,
The shooting took place at the house OF
Mrs. Louisa HUFF, who resides next door
10 the Mortons.
1t seems that Mrs. Morton. had been at
the store of Mr.. Moore, q few minutes be-
fore, aud was accompanied near home by
young Moore, who went to Mrs. Huft's res
idence, and stated that he had an agree
ment to meet Mrs. Morton there.
Mrs. Huff stated that the room was cold,
butthat she would make a fire. She started
for the door, and had got outside when Mrs
Morton entered, and Immediately drew a
revolver and fred tho ball entered Moore's
neck, probably severing the Jugular vein,
The unfortunate young man dropped dead
on the floor, without speaking a word on
making the least sign.
We understand that Mrs. Morton says
that Moore had written her several insult
ing notes, which she had in her possession,
and that she had demanded a written
apology from him.
What occurred at tho store, just before
the dreadful tragedy was enacted, wo are
not advised, nor what was the object OF the
conversation at Mrs. Hufis'. Nor are We
advised of the nature of the conversation
at Mrs. HufT's house, if any took place.
The affair is one ofthe most terrible TINT
ever occurred in our city. The affair will
undergo judicial Investigation, and till then
we refrain from further comment.
Mrs. Morton's maiden name was Davis.
Her husband was a. Lieutenant in the 23d
regiment, and afterwards served in the
Western Navy. He is now absent at Kan
sas City, Mo.

MEN's HEAp.G EAR-A feeble attempt is
now being made to revive the feather which
was so long the glory OF the cavaliers of
olden times, and the custom Of wearing
which in the Maitland gave rise to the say
Ing that such aud such n thing is q Feather
in ones cap" Wcll-dresscd young men
are now frequently to be seen in our streets
wearing conicnl hats, in the broad bands Of
which little sprigs Of peacock's feather. or,
sometimes, plnin white feather, arc con-
spicuous. Sinccthc Kossuth hat with the
ostrich plume-which never came regular
ly into fashion here, by the bye-this is the
fir t attempt tta, has been made to bring
feathers into vogue again for masculine nt-
tire. By the bye, the peacock sprig may
extend, until il rises intoa waving feather.
Who cnn say, indeed, but that it
may 20 further? Women wear
whole birds on their heads; and the swell
who is content, for the present, with the
suggestive sprig in his Int band, may by
and by 60 the whole bird too, and convert
his head into a roost for the peacock. Civ
ilization, however, does not seem fayom-
BILE to the feather "a an accessory OF male
civilian attire. Indeed, the feather appears
10 be the accompaniment Of undress rather
than Of dress, IA pdpdche Of gaudy macaws'
tails often forming the only article Of cloth
ing worn by barbaric dusky monarchs.
Tho Stage has 30 long held possession Of
the plume, now, that il would not be easy
10 separate the idea OF q business man with
u nodding feather in his hat from the foot
lights. For the American people, espcci-
ally, the feather would be n very inappro-
PIRATE accessory. They arc too hurried
md busting in their movements 10 carry
50 much topsail, and any attempt to intro
duce it would probable be n failure.
