On the 2sth It,, President Hayes

On the 2Sth ult., President Hayes
vetoed Che Silver Bill. Immediately
upon the receipt of the veto message
the House proceeded to vote, aud
the result was yeas 196, and nays
70. The speaker then declared the
bill passed and the announcement
was greeted with applause. 1t is
almost certain that the Senate will
also pass the bill over the Presi.
dents veto. The President in his
message said:
1t had been his earnest desire
to concur with Congress in the
adoption of measures to increase
the silver coinage of the country,
but so as not to impair the Obiiga
ton of contracts either public or
private, nor ingeniously affect the
public credit. 1t was only on the
convict ion that this bill did not
meet that essential requirement
that he felt it his duty to withhold
from it his approval. The message
further states that the capital defect
of the bill is, that it contains no
provision protecting from its opera
tiOD pre- existing debts iii case the
coinage which it creates shall con-
rinue of less value than that which
was the sole legal tender, when
they were created. In the judg-
meut of mankind, it would be an
act of bad faith. The standard of
value should not be changed with
out the consent of both parties to
che contract. The national promises
should be kept with unflinching
fidelity. He could not sign a bill
which would authorize the violation
of sacred obligations. The Obliga>
ton of the public faith transcribed
all questions OF profit or public adj
vantage. Its unquestiOnable main
tainance was dictate, as well OF
honesty as OF expediency, and
should ever I've carefully guarded
by the Executive, by Congress and
by the people. Before proceeding
to vote Oh the question will the
House, on reconsideration, pass the
bill, Mr.. Cox of New York, made
the remark that the message was
''a charge of fraud by a fraud" on
which his colleague Mr.. McCoOk
made point of order. The speaker
decided that the remark was made
out of order, and it should not be
printed in the records.

Pearl River Navigation.

Jackson Times, Feb. 25.
We are much gratitied to be able
to announce that efforts are at last
being made with view to utilizing
the Pearl River, "a navigable stream
which promises advantageous re.
suits. A meeting of citizens was
held at Green's Bank on Saturday
last, at the instance of L. NJ. Gar
rett, Esq, editor of the C..rthagi
nian, and "A committee composed of
Messrs. j. w. Robinson, A Virden,
81. Spengler, l. Strauss and E. r.
Stedman, were appointed to urge
upon the Legislature the impor>
lance of making an appropriation
of $4,000 tor the purpose of remOv-
ing distractions, and also with a
view TO securing an appropriation
by Congress of a sum sufficient to
render the whole river navigable
in fact, as well as in name. The
project IS, we believe. feasible one
and should be favOrably considered
by our Legislature, and by the Cou
gress of the United States.

They have recently had a first
class riot at Princeton, New jersey.
For thee days the village was in
the haEds of the students of Prince
ton College. Two sophomores went
to tho room of a newly arrived
freshman and tying him hand and
foot, proceeded to spank him with
a butter paddle, threw water Oh
him till nearly drowned, then
shaved bis head, and left. Two
nlghts later, twenty masked fresh>
Men went to the room of the two
sOphomoreS. beat them almost to
death, sealped them, and left them
lying bucked and gagged. A few
minutes after the departure of the
freshmen, student called on the
two Iuckless sOphOmOres and, of
course, released them. SEEING their
revOlSers, the two sophs. called to
friends TO follow, and started in
pursuit of their torturers. They
came upon the twenty freshmen in
q neighboring saloon; fred into the
crOwd.and the shooting soon became
general. One of the sophs. was
shot in the groin, and is yet lying
very low. For two days following,
the village of Princeton was a per>
feet PandemOnium. At length the
rioters were dispersed, summoned
before the faculty of the college and
fifty of the students we're expelled.
Order is not yet restored, and the

any moment. That is tie way the

The quickness with which the
election of the Pope followed the
assemblage of the Conclave, puts an
end to the accounts that have been
published OF party autagonisRs and
divisions nOng its members. He
was elected upon the morning of
the second day of the COnclave, aud
by the third ballot. which gave him
the requisite majority of two thirds.
This gives satisfactory evidence
that the great body of the COnclave
regarded him, from the first, as the
man designated by Heaven to fl
the position to which he has been
chosen, and in which he will hence-
forth be known as Leo XIII.

when little Jack appears by his side 10 the

treme. The rest of the company main
tanned ably the parts assigned to them, and
altogether made up highly successful en-.

Daring Highway Robbery.

Yesterday Mr.. Fred. Bollman. OF the
firm of Bollman & Henry, Milan. I'LL, went
to Davenport with his bakery wagon. He
left here on his return home last evening
about 8 o'clock. When near the Temper
ance House, kept by John Good, on the
Milan road, Mr.. Bollman saw two men in
the road 10 front;of him. As he came up
to them they separated. one taking each
side of the track, and when directly oppo-
site them one of the men threw up his
hand which Mr.. .Bollman interpreted rs q
request to stop, whichlhe did. One Of the
men climbed upon the wheel and, as quick
as fash, struck Bollman behind the ear
and he knew no more until about IL o.
clock, when he seemingly awoke from a
sleep and found himself lying in the brush
short distance from the road, his boots
and socks off his feet and lying beside him,
his pants nearly Of, and belt which he
had worn beneath his shirt, in which he
carried $l,700. in bank notes and q note Of
hand for $500. gone. He looked around in
q dazed condition short time, seeing moth
ing of his horse and wagon and then went
to the Temperance House and asked for @
light to look for his horse but was told
that it was light enough. when he walked
to his home in Milan.
The money was of the following denomi
nations: two $500. bills. five 500, and the
balance in $50: and $40. bills. He had
carried it in this manner for over two
years, but says he never told any one he
had any money either on his person OF
elsewhere. His partner in business knew
nothing of his having it neither did any o.
his associates.
/ He says that upon becoming conscious
which must have been at least three hour
later than the attack upon him-he smell
ed something peculiar. but did not know
what it was or think much about it, bu
he certainly must have been chlroformed
as the place where he was struck on tn
head does not appear bruised as it neces
sarily would have been to produce s
Heightened Inconsistencies.
i The horse was found about z clock thi
morning, tied behind one of the ice hous
es near Searsville, not far from where tn
robbery occurred, When asked by tn
, ARGUS reporter why he did not depos
his money in tie bank instead of carryin
it about with him, he replied that SO man
= banks were busting lately that he did nc
feel as though it would be safe; he ha
, carried il this way, in greater and lei
amounts for years in various parts of th
country and always felt safe.
Il Mr.. Bollman offers $400, reward for th
? return of his money.
