The returns of the election of November last, made by ss tue returning officers (of the ninety-six counties) showed that l had the highest rumber of votes, and Iennessee's constitution says the can didate having tue highest number of votes shall be governor,' and being law abiding citizen it is quite humiiiating un- der the circumstances to be Compelled to discard the constitution of Tennessee and not to act as governor when entitled to the office.

 Cause of the Accident.

CITY OF MEXICO, March 2.-Six more persons injured in the wreck on the Inter- Oceanic railroad Thursday have died, mak- ing the total number of deaths so far seventy. At least five more of the injured are expected to die. The statements made yesterday that 104 persons were killed in the accident is an erroneous one, arising out of the mistake of the Fl Universal in counting some of the injured among the dead.
 The damage to the railway company's property caused by the wreck is variously estima ed from s20. .0C0 to $50, 000. .@ ,s
 Many of ihe injured threaten to sue the company for damages. All of the dead and injured belong to the poor class.
 he engineer in charge of the wrecked train has not yet been found, but the chief conducter has turned up all right.

Peffsr, pop ulist, of Kansas, preferred that he should go on with the speech which he had desired to deliver against the proposed increase of the navy. Mir. Rutler asked him to yield for the tpooling bill,' but he positively declined, and at 1:45 began his speech, having bsiore him large supply of m lte- rial :or it.
 Mir. Peffer yielded the floor temporarily to permit the passage of the house joint resolution for payment to the state of West Virginia her share of the sums paid back by the treasury on account of the direct tax collected from states during the war of the rebellion.
 When the resolution was passed Mir. Peffsr resumed lhe floor, and declared | h at the object of the increase in the navy was to "pander the idea of glamour and dis play.'

 WHERE THE HITCH LIES.
 The hitch in the sunary civil bill ia the senate providing for a monetary con . terence appears to be due to desire to first ascertain who will be the delegates selected under the act. It seems to be assured that, sso far as the senate is concerned, MT. Teller for the republicans and MT. Jones of Arkansas for he democrats shall be two of the three to be chosen. There is a contest for the third place, the two names mentioned being MT. Allison, re- publican, and Mir. Daniel, democrat. IL is said that an effort will be made to defeat the amendment entirely unless it is agreed that MT. Allison shall be tue third mau. i ibere is little talk about the house dele- gates, but among the names mentioned is that If Mir. Dingley, republican, of Maine.
