OK yesterday week Mr. Hayes sent q
message to Congress setting forth his rea-
sons for refusing to approve the silver bin.
The veto " i'll be found published in another
part of our paper to-day. After debate
Of one hour in the House, the bill was
passed over the veto by 1856 yeas to - nays,
being 16 more than tlo0- thirds. The vote
iii the Senate stood 46 yeas to 10 nays, be-
ing tU0 votes over two-thirds. In the
House 11S Democrats and rs Republicans
voted for the BILL and 20 Democrats and
SO Republicans voted against it. In the
Senate % Democrats and 21 Republicans
voted for the bill, and Democrats and 10
Republicans voted against it. Taking the
vote in both houses, the bill received 143
Democratic votes and 90 Republican votes,
and was voted against by 30 Democrats
and 63 Republicans. The Secretary of the
Treasury, Mr.. Sherman, although opposed
to the bill, says that he will promptly carry
out its provisions, and it is expected that
in few days the thee government mints
City, Nevada, will be engaged to their full
capacity in coming the new dollar. The
bill requires the Secretary to have coined
every month not less than tuo nor more
bullion. 1t is thought that the three mints
can turn out three millions of dollars every
month.

THE New Hampshire elec lou for Cover
nor and members Of the Leg gislaiure Nill
take place on Tuesday next. Prescott, the
present Republican Governor, is a candi
date for reelection, and has for his oppo-
nent Frank Mexican, Democrat. At the
election last year Prescott's majority was
1900. The campaign las been remarkably
quiet, and the Democrats are not without
"on grounded hopes Of success. The
Greerback party, we believe, has no sepa-
Iate organization in the State, nor has the
Temperance party, which usually polls from
800 10 SEQ votes, any candidate in the field
so far we can learn. Prescott is warm
friend of Hayes, and that fact may possibly
lea to his defeat.

GREAT SCANDAL CAsE.-A special dis
patch from Cincinnati to the PHILADELPHIA
Times, dated March 81, says that the first
act i'll the great Iytus- Dickey scandal came
to its conclusion at Hamilton about one
O'Clock that morning, the jury finding John
Is. Tytus guilty Of breach of promise and
assessing damages at six thousand dollars
The interest in the case was SO great that
crowds of people remained up till after
midnight to hear the verdict. The trial
occupied just week. The testimony ad-
duced as TO the existence of a marriage
contract was slight. but it was sufficient to
satisfy a majority of the public, The next
step will be criminal trial, which will
come on in about three weeks. The COM
plcations growing out of the case multi
ply, several personal encounters and threats
OF duels being among the latest. a rumor
is afioat to the effect that Tytus' wife, who
was wealthy beiress, will abandon him,
should tie next suit go against him. 1t is
understood that Miss Dickey has had more
than one eligible offer of marriage since
her troubles began, and that when she has
fully yindicated her character from the as
sauts which the defense have made upon
it wi accept one of them. She is woman
of fine appearance and engaging manners,
aud, until recently, mas been popular in
the best circles of Middletown and Cincin-
natl. Several libel suits and burglary cases
growing out of the scandal are still pend
ing.

THE treaty of peace between Russia and

Austria j. satisfied aud that England will
finally acquiesce in its stipulations. The
war indemnity to be paid 10y Turkey is
only IL title of what it was originally repre-
semted to be, and the Turkish navy will
not pass into the possession of Russia.

THE CouIs Sc Of legislation in the House OF
Representa- ives at Harrisburg, OH Tuesday
and Wednesday of last week, was very pc
culiar. and demonstrated once more the
power of the Cameron ring. On the day
first named the iuiquitous Recorders bill
for Philadelphia came before the House on
it's final passage. The benchmen of Secre-
tary Quay, for whose benefit The bill is in
tended, did not entertain any doubt ftheir
ability to pass it, while its opponents had
but little hope of its defeat. OF the nine
Democratic $50 called members from Phil
adelphia, here the people and the press are
of one mind in opposition 10 the project,
Mr.. Faunce was the only one who opposed
it. He fought the bill ably and vigorously
and showed clearly that it violated several
provisions Of the new constitution. OF his
eight faithless colleagues it can only be
said that they are fair samples of the men
usually sent by the Democracy of the me-
tropolis 10 represent them in the lower
branch of the Legislature. The race of the
Sam JoRephs' school of statesmen is evil
IDENTIFY far from being extinct in the Demo-
; cratic districts in that city, and bids fair
to enjoy long lease of political life. To
the utter confusion of the ring, WREN the
final vote was taken the bill was defeated,
having received only 95 votes, or si1 less
than a majority of the whole house. Six
teen Republican members had the courage
TO assert their own convictions of duty and
voted against it. NIaddencd by this unex-
pected and severe defeat, Quay and his, re-
tanners spent the night in putting things
in such a shape us 10 render the passage of
the bill the next day absolutely certain.
On Wednesday the vote on the bill was re-
considered, and under the operation Of the
previous question was passed by 107 yeas
20 IA nays. The consummation of this
job is alone due to the tIeachery Of The
Democratic members from Philadelphia,
who, with the solitary exception, as we
have stated, of Mr.. Faunce, gave the bill
their support. 1t is hard TO believe that
they are natural fools, and tie only other
explanation of tEeir conduct is that they
are corrupt, which is rarely not a violent
presumption regarding a majority Of the
Philadelphia members of both parties. The
bill was sent TO the Senate aud has been re-
por,ed with an amendment, which it is said
will materially reduce the fels OF the Office,
/ but that is not a sufficient reason to induce
, the Democratic members of that body 10
Withdraw their opposition to it. The oil
is clearly unconstitutional, and no Demo
crat can ever favor project which invess
Governor Hartranft, or any other man who
may become Governor, with the power to
fill an Office by appointment for the period
of ten gears. There is some prospect that
/ the measure will be defeated in the Senate,
but be that as it may, Hartranft's nomina-
lion of his own and Cameron's man, Quay,
for Recorder can be effectually defeated by
! the Democratic Senators voting solidly
against his confirmation. Let it be done
though the heavens should fall.

"A horrible occurrence took place on Fri
day night at Fish Landing Point, on the H.
inois bank of the Mississippi, about Thirty
milss below St. Louis. AT about 10 o'clock
in the evening a German resident of the
place, named Moritz Keyser, went to a
grocery store and purchased a gallon can
OF c"aLoil, which he took to his home.
On arriving there, he att mp;ed to fill a
lamp, when the oil caught fiie and all ex-
ploson occurred, which scattered the burn
ing fluid all over the cabin and it's occu-
pants. The entire family, consisting of
husband, wife aud six children, were burn
