IS stated IN Government circles that
the Administration has taken no

Government is considering the
question of its POWER to intervene
and set up q State government IN
der the guaranty clause of the Con

clised to claim. There is serious
reason to apprehend Federal inter

on Saturday evening last. about $40 O'Clock
For a week past he had been sick with a cold
and nervous prosti alton, which is believed to

tions just previous to his disappearance wond
seem to warrant such conclusion for taking his
only child in his arms he kissed it tenderly, say
ing it would soon ''have no father and then
rushed precipitately from the house. clad in
nothing but his under clothing His wife seized
him as he was passing out, but she was unable
to detain him, and he continued his flight to-
wards the CLristiana. After turning the corner
at Fourth street, nothing more WAS seen of him,
although closely pursued. Tue supposition was
that he drowned himself in the Christina, but
the river was carefully dragged, yesterday with
out discovering the body.
1t is said that 0'Neill was seen sitting on Nc
malls steps, at End and Market. in conversatit n
with gentleman about midnight on Saturday,
very weak and exhausted, and word from New
port says that man answering TO his de, oription
was seen about mile North of that town reclin-
ing in the shade of tree, yesterday. 1t may,
therefore. be possible that he is wandering
about ignorantly in the overthrow OF his mind
and any information relative to his whereabouts
will be thankfully received by his family.
0'Neill is about oft 6 inches in height, of
medium build, and has black curly hair, With
light moustache and thin goatee.

The action Of the House yesterday regarding

that Mr. Dawes is master OF the situation. The

jority show that he has power enough to carry
his bill through that body. 1t is similar to the
one carried through the Senate by Senator Shei-
