THE SILVER BILL TRIUNPHAsT.
THE PRESIDENTS VITO a SUMMARY DIS
PosAI. OF 1.-THE SILVER Anyo-
Gates ENTHUSIASTIC

The passage of the Silver bill over the
veto of the President without discussion in
either OF the two Houses is certainly one
of the most remarkable events of even these
eventful times. and proves concusively that
President Hayes is absolutely without a
party in Congress. In the days of Presi-
dent johnson. when the Republicans were
in an overwhelming majority, the cour-
ageous Democratic minority always showed
fight, but the nineteen Senators voting
with the President were known not to DE
IN accord with him in other measures, and
hence their lack of heart in sustaining him
on this. Ali the sensational stories about
the great speech which Senator Conkling
intended to make proved false, and the
Senate, without reconsideration, by largely
more than the required vote, refused to
sustain the ohlections of the President
The silver people are in great glee. Sena-
tor Jones, of Nevada, and other leaders on
that side, were congratulated, and every
one seemed to feel relief that the thing
was over

WE publish in another column short
synopsis of bill authorizing shooting
Of wild fowl from sink-hoxes in Elk and
Bohemia rivers and their tributaries.
We believe in the wholesome Demo
cratic doctrine of the greatest good to
the greatest number, and hold that our
Representatives at Annapolis should
take the pains to ascertain the prevail
ing sentiment of the county bordering
on those rivers before advocating its
passage. If any proposed public meas
ure, affecting directly individual inter
ests, the amplest opportunity should be
offered for expression of Individual opin-
ion. Wenotice this bill, which, we under
stand, has already passed to its second
reading for the purpose of asceriaining
this sentiment. While its friends and
advocates are pressing its passage at
Annapolis, the owners of lands, border
ing on these rivers, are entitled to be
heard, if they or any considerable num-
Der of them are opposed to its passage.
The county press is properly the me-
dunn Of information on this as in other
matters affecting their interests.

THE Washington correspondent of

THE Washington correspondent of
the Cincinnati "Gazette.' describing
the scenes in the Senate during the pas
sage Of the Bland Bill, says:
IA. None feature of the night session
deserves notice. Both Houses of Congress
have recently made great public show of
temperance, by forbiddins the sale, even
of beer. at the Capitol restaurants. One
result seems to have been great increase
in the number of private demljohns in the
committee rooms. At all events. persons of
large experience at the Capitol say there
has not been SO much drunkenness on the
floor of the Senate for ten years as there
was at this night session.

WHETHER Returning Board Wells is
"vassal or peer" he is the master
of an uncommonly energetic vocabulary.
He tells q reporter Of The New Orleans
Times that the Democrats have been
inviting him to squeal," and he pro-
posed to do it in such a" red hot way
as "make them howl" They urge
him to scare the Republican leaders by
threatening TO tell all he knows, but be
replies that he doesn't see how he can
do it, "by threatening to tell a lot Of

helps himself any when he talks, but i;
is clear enough that the Democrats
don't make anything by stirring him up.

The large, intelligent aud appreciative
audience which assembled at Darts Hall
last Saturday afternoon was we'll deserved
compliment to Mr.. and Mrs. st. Clair. On
the part of our people it showed an appre-
cation of higher order of music than we
nave been accustomedto, and also showed a
nigh degree of efficiency 10 the training.
Much OF the performance was exception
ally line, for amateurs and pupils, and as
there is nothing more refining than music
It seems to me, that the efforts of Mr.. and
Mrs. sc. Clair should be generally encour-
aged.
For my own part / would be glad if Prof
St, Glars entertainments could be more
frequently repeated. They would add
much to the cultivation of a correct must
cal taste 10 the community and the devel-
opment OF bright grade of musical talent.
