How about the commissioner distiicts I would be a joke if the board of county com missioners were also legislated oat of office. Anyway the commissioners receive all allu sions to the subject as a joke at present, and await further developments. Th commis sioner districts in the city have been defined by law so as to include certain wards by name and number without any regard to local or specific boundaries. The third commissioner district was defined as embracing tho eighth, ninth and tenth wards, and as such wards are legislated out of existence there seems to be no district for Commissioner Jones to represent. Under the new i egime Commissioner Palmer also finds himself a resident of another district, inas much as he does not now live in any of the wards defined as constituting his particular territory. Commissioner Glenn is alone unaf fected by the change in the city, and, together with the the two members from the country, now holds the only undisputed seat. Wh should the intention of the law be taken into consid eration when Commissioner Hedderly was oust ed from office for temporarily remov ing from his district with the intention of returning. Perhaps this matter is worth looking into, and perhaps it won't be necessary for Judge Young to de cide who is commissioner of a district that by the original definition of its bounds is wiped out of existence. Why not legislate a few county officers out of office as well as all but two of the city officials? Let's have a new deal all around, and make things lively! THE NEXT PRESIDENT. The Coming Man. [Sauk Rapids Sentinel.] The St. Paul GLOBE makes the prediction that Hon. T. A. Hendricks will be the next Piesident of the United States. Nuet President. [Fergus Falls Journal.] H. P. Hall, the prophet of the St. Paul GLOBE, predicts that Thos. A. Hendricks will be the next President. In the Prediction Business. [St. Cloud Journal-Press.] The St. Paul GLOBE has gone into the prediction business again, and ties to the tail of the Hendricks kite. Try it Over Again. [Worthington Journal.] Hall, having had such poor success with his Tilden prophecy, is anxious to try it over, and Tommy Hendricks is named as the lucky man. Think He is Correct. [Chatfield Democrat.] Hall, of the St. Paul GLOBE, predicts that Thos. A. Hendricks will be the next Presi dent of the United States, and we think he is correct. The Fourth Prediction. [Madelia Times.] THL DAILY GLOBE has put up Thomas A. Hendricks at its mast head as the next President of the United States. This is Hall's fourth prediction. Another Prophecy. [St. Peter Tribune.] H. P. Hall has made another presidential prophecy. It is that Thos. A. Hendricks, Democrat, will be the next President. Pears it is a Mistake. [Dodge County Republican.] THE GLOBE prophesies that Thomas A. Hendricks will be the next Poesident. The editor may be worse mistaken] than he was when he prophesied that Tilden would oc cupy the place that the people assigned to Hayes. Chances Good, [Delano Eagle.] H. P. Hall, who prophesied in the spring of 1876 that Tilden would be elected Presi dent, now says that Thomas A. Hendricks, of Indiana, will be our next president. The chances are good returning boards are growing beautifully less. The Next President. [Howard Lake Advocate.] Hon. Thomas A. Hendricks, of Indiana, wilT be the next President of the United States. St. Paul Gtobe. Hall nails his second presidential prophecy. He predicted the 'election" of Tilden, and now he insists that Hendricks will be the next president. Hoary-Headed Prophet. [Preston Republican.] The hoary-headed prophet of the St. Paul GLOBE makes the following prediction, and it is worthy of a passing notice, for the rea son that he is first-class on prophecy: "Hon. Thomas A. Hendricks, of Indiana, will be the next President of the United States." At It Again. [Hastings Union.] Our leaders will recollect when Hall, of THE GLOBE, run the Dispatch, he went into the prophecy business on the presidential question and proved himself a success. He is now at it again, and this is his latest: "Hon. Thomas A. Hendricks, of Indiana, will be the next President, of the United States." Hope your head is level Hall, here's our hand on it. Better Rest on Laurels Already Won. [New Ulm Herald] H. P. Hall made a presidential prophecy two years ago, that came within one vote of being fulfilled. Stimulated by bis near suc cess, he now ventures the prepiction that Hendricks will be the next President of the United States. You had better rest on the laurels already won, Hall, or*1 a few years hence people will have no more confidence in your predictions than they now have in Professor Tice's. ttf\ Three Famous Predictions. [Owatonna Review.J &w H. Hall, of St. Panl, who made his three famous predictions, long in advance, that Hayes would be nominated by the Be publicans. Tilden by the Democrats, and that the latter, would be elected?President, (and we must b pardoned if we, say thai we honestly believe all his predictions were enfisd,) has made another prediction, name lythat Hon.

Hendricks will be elected the next President p|the United States. v-f rr THir^ILvllfi^BILX: The Plumper Between the Eyes Given to Mr. HayesThe Bosh from the House to the Senate-What Senators and Congress men SayRepublicans and Democrats Both Condemn Hayes. [Washington Cor. Cincinnati Enquirer. President Hayes treated Congress to a sur prise to-day by sending in his veto message to the silver billno surprise because of the veto, but rather because it came in one day sooner than was expected and while it did not, for this reason, it might have caught members napping and a light attendance in both Houses. If the President had such a sinister object in view, it failed of its pur pose for, strange to say, the attendance was unusually large in both branches. At half past one o'clock the President's private secre tary appeared at the bar of the House and announced A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT. The House was at this tune engaged in a roll-call on a bill to permit some lieutenant to accept a decoration from the Sultan of Turkey and when Randall tore open the long official envelope and disclosed to view a bill, everybody knew that a veto had come, for bills are never sent back by the President under other circumstances. Members be came all at once all impatience to have the pending roll-call completed. Stephens, whose committee room is near by, was in formed of the receipt of the message, and rolled himself in on his wheeled chair, and immediately became the center of a group of silver men, whTTappeared to be discussing the best course to pursue. Doubt of the course of action was not of long duration. As soon as Stephens could be heard, he moved to go to business on the Speaker's table, and take up the President's message. There was not the slightest objection, and, amid a breathless silence, the important document was read. The reading of the message concluded, the bill as passed was read, when Randall announced that THE QUESTION BEFORE THE HOUSE was, whether the House, on leconsideration, would pass the bill, the veto of the President to the contrary notwithstanding. Stephens was again ready with a demand for the pre vious question, while the hall resounded with calls for yeas and nays, members having seemingly lost sight of the fact that the con stitution required that. In the midst of the confusion, Fort, of Illinois, demanded a sec ond reading of the message, but "object" and "I object" resounded on all sides and then Fort suggested that it be printed in the Record, when Sam Cox, rushing from his seat towards the speaker's desk, yelled out an objection, and added that the message was A FRAUD FROM A FRAUD. Meanwhile, amid all the noise, the reading clerk had called the first name on the roll, when McCook, of New York, insisted upon being recognized, and demanded that Cox's language be taken down at the clerk's desk. It was disrespectful to the President, and McCook was not disposed to let the language go unchallenged., Cox reiterated his remark and stuck to it, when Randall tried to pour oil on the troubled waters on the Republican side by saying that Cox had no right to make the remark because he did not have the floor, as the chair had not recog nized him. This was a pacification, and the terrible punishment of having the words read at the clerk's desk was not inflicted. As the roll-call progressed it became evident that the line was to be strictly drawn be tween the silver and anti-silver men, as it has been on every other occasion when the question has been up. The only break from the old line was that of Martin I. Townsend, of New York, who has hitherto voted against the bill in all forms and at all stages, but who to-day voted to pass the bill over the veto. The vote on the motion made last Friday to lay the bill on the table was exactly reversed to day, with the single exception above noted. The announcement of the result was re ceived with every demonstration of APPLAUSE AND APPROVAL by a large majority on the floor and in the galleries, which were crowded. Juat before the result was announced Felton and Cook, of Georgia, Bragg of Wisconsin and Kelly of Pennsylvania, whose absence at tha roll-call had been accounted for by reason of illness, came into the hall just in time to be recorded in the affirmative. Word had been sent to them as soon as the message was re ceived, and each hastly left a sick bed to ap pear at the House and vote. Their votes were not needed, but they were determined to be recorded. Southard of Ohio was paired with "Waite of Connecticut, and Keifer with Cabell, of Virginia. Gardner was absent, unpaired. The rest of the Ohio delegation, except Garfield, voted solid in the affirma tive. THE BILL PASSED BY A VOTE OF 19 6 TO 73 and of the latter sixty-four votes came from New Enland, New York, Pennsylvania and Delaware, the bondholding section. Cain, of South Carlina Gibson, of Louisiana Bis bee of Florida, and Schleicher, of Texas were the only Southern men voting no. Gar field, of Ohio Williams and Ellsworth, of Michigan Stewart, of Minnesota, and Davis, of California were the only Western men vot ing that way. Hardly had the Speaker of the House announced that the bill would be sent immediately to the Senate, when the denseness of the "people's" galleries rose almost en masse, thronged out into the upper coridors, rushed pell-mell down the stairs, and started in hot haste on a race TO THE SENATE END OF THE CAPITOL. An old candy woman whose stand is near the rotunda, was almost upset by the hurrying through. "What's the excitement?" she quivered out, as she tried to protect her wares. "Silver Bill shouted a perspiring son of Africa, as he rushed past. She looked after him to see if he was crazy, but he was already out of sight. Then she repeated-her question to one and another, but "Silver Bill" was all she could get out of any, and each seemed to begrudge the time to say that. It was verily a mob of people. An Irishman in tatters aided himself along by gripping the prim hose of the marble effigy of the Pilgrim Father Winthrop, while a per spiring darkey at his shoulder drew his rags across the immaculate shoe-buckles of Sam Adams. As THE CBOWD SURGED through Statuary hall, gray-headed age and veterans on crutches unwillingly fell behind robust"manhood and athletic youth. A few of the broadcloth gentry tried to preserve their dignified gait, but were forced to step aside by the masB of laboring men, who seemed to fear the silver bill would walk into and through the Senate before they could reach the scene. It was a strange sight, this very commonplace mobnot lawless, but fired with enthusiasm at the prospect of a legislative act of which half of them were ig oorant, upon* bill which ,three-iourtha of them did not understand. The Senate was droning along through a drowsy debate in relation to the theft of United States timber. Suddenly THESE WAS A BUSH AND A BOARS' I i'" without. First two or three young men, breathless and flushed, darted quickly into the gallery and secured front seats. Then a dozen more followed. Then the doorsswung back and the throng took possession, without lawlessness, but with the disorder and con fusion incident to the shuffling of so many 1 "IS "*jfc -u&ill^s^ feet and the movement of so many bodies, &M5 THE ST.

The soporific, dignity of the Senate was shocked. "I cannot talk in such a noise," said David Davis, who was on the floor. Then Ferry arose in all his greatness and warned the galleries to make no demonstra tion on pain of arrest. What folly! The galleries were already painfully quiet, and the front rows hanging breathless over the parapets. The tumult was on the floor. The privileged classes were walk ing, talking, laughing, mindful only of themselves. The people were waiting, im patient for the silver bill. On the floor Jay Gould was lobbying vigorously for gold. In the gallery John Smith,' Sambo Hamilton and Mike Sullivan were waiting, anxious for silver. On the floor were Huntington and Schelley, of the Central Pacific ringmen of money. In the gallery were many heirs to want. The scene was again suggestive. At last order was restored, and the drowsy debate dragged along. Few heeded it. Most watched the southern door. "Here it comes!" "No, it is only a clerk with a package of manuscript!" "AH, NOW WE HAVE IT A dozen subdued voices announced the discovery of twice as many eyes, and sure enough, the silver bill stood in the' august presence of the Senate, chained to a veto. His presence was announced, and he was seated on Ferry's table. The drowsy debate made another spasmodic attempt to go on. No one wanted to hear it. They openly urged Senators to take up the silver bill. The galleries shifted about impatiently. Conk hng saw an opportunity to make political capital, and very cleverly he seized it. In terrupting the long debate, he pressed for a vote on the veto message. Very cleverly, he avowed that he would not make a motion, but more cleverly he instigated Allison to make a motion to suspend all other business and TAKE UP THE VETO MESSAGE. For a brief moment the gold-bugs showed fight. Edmunds made the point of order that under rules 8 and 9 the veto message could only be considered in the morning hour, which was already exhausted for the day. Ferry decided against him. Allison pressed his motion, and it was carried, and the bill and the veto were read. Then Whyte tried to effect delay by moving that the bill and message be printed. It was useless. In the twinkling of an eye Allison had been called and had voted. The roll-call was now begun, and no power in the Senate could, stop it. Excitable Cockrell, of Missouri, an ardent silver man, clapped his hands for joy and let slip an explosive "Good!" The ques tion was ON THE FINAL PASSAGE OF THE BILL OVER THE VETO. Senators and correspondents were all busy checking on yea and nay lists. Booth, the first doubtful man, was absent. Cameron, of Wisconsin, the second doubtful one, voted "Yea," and there was an involuntary expres sion of pleasure. Christiancy did not re spond. The call progressed steadily to Hill. "Aye!" responded the Georgian, and "that settles it!" burst from twenty pairs of lips, Then Kellogg voted yes, and it became only a question of the size of the majority over two-thirds. Paddock, Windom and Sauls bury stood up to fight like men, and the grand total rolled up was 46 to 19, and THE PRESIDENT WAS EXTINGUISHED. There was a burst of applause as the re sult was announced. Christiancy and Sharon were the only Senators absent un paired. There were three sets of pairs, one nay being paired with two yeas, as it was a two-thirds vote. Anthony, nay, was paired with Oglesby and Ransom, yea Burnside with Cameron of Wisconsin and Booth, Cameron withholding his vote, and Edwards with Cameron *f Pennsylvania and Arm* strong. With the announcement of the result, all interest in the Senate proceedings ceased. The galleries were bare in five min utes, and the Senatorsunmindful of the timber debate, which was resumedgather ed in the cloak-rooms to compare notes. THE SOENE IN THE CLOAK BOOMS after the slaughter of the veto was ani mated. Silver man after silver man came in, and all were beaming. "The best piece of work that has been done the Senate for years!" said Cockrell, rubbing his hands gleefully. "Reminds me of old Andy John son times," said Bailey, "when a measure would be formulated in caucus before break fast in the morning, passed by both houses at noon, sent to Johnson, returned with a veto, passed over the veto and made a law by night." "It's a good piece of work, well done," said Beck. "Satisfactory," mur mured Voorhees. "I knew how it would come out," said Allison, softly, his face aglow with pleasure. And so it went. SATISFIED SENATORS. It was noticeable that not a single Senator commented in any way on the character of the veto message itself. "Well, Senator, you were right," said the Enquirer man to Matthews. "Yes, I thought I was not mis taken," he replied and then he beamed knowingly. "If you will read my speech," said Ben Hill, "you will see that I said I would vote for the amended bill, and I should have voted for it had I been present when the final vote was taken." Ben says his people are with him, which is true, but Ben has been in Georgia since the bill first passed, and he votes different now. MISERABLE LITTLE EATON. The only hard money man who seemed distressed was Eaton. "Well, Senator, what next?" said the Enquirer man to him. "Greenbacks," he replied laconically. "And then?" "Inflation." "And then?" "Hell!" Not caring to follow tho Connecticut Senator that far, the Enquirer next caromed on Ker nan. "We can live under any laws you can," said he to Beck. "And we are bound you shall live under good laws," retorted the Kentuckian. "Well, I don't fancy this law is going to do any serious harm," added Kernan "I fought it because I think the principle is wrong, but I really think the country can absorb a hundred millions of silver without any harm." EnquirerThen you do not think this bill will drive all the gold out of the country? KernanNo, I do not. Indeed, if this bill should prove a bulwark to defend us from something else, it may prove a blessing in disguise. Beck lay stretched upon a sofa. He cried out gleefully: "Matthews has promised to get me the first dollar coined, and I have promised to give it to Bill Eaton to wear around his neck." So the badinage flew. All seemed glad the fight was over. THE FEELING OVER THE MESSAGE is that it is a weak State paper, is fallacious in argument and advances no real objections which have not heen exploded. "John Sherman wrote it," is the remark made on every side. A Senator opposed to the bill, after the reading of the message, was heard, to remark that he would have far preferred that Hayes should have signed the bill rather than have sent such a weak remonstrance against the measure. It was generally ex .pected that some of those opposed to the bill in the Senate would at all events attempt to defend the objections set forth by the Presi dent, but they fell upon the Senate as such commonplace, threadbare arguments that no single Senator essayed to make a defense for him. True, Edmunds, and Whyte of Mary land, did, in a feeble way, endeavor to have consideration of the bill postponed until the President's veto message could be printed. Even this customary respect was denied the paper, which caused Edmunds to inject a re mark that he did not think the precipitate action of the Senate was the dent with respect. -TO5"1treating SSS** &*&$Presi- 7 TH did not receive the news of the Senate's ac tion until nearly 5 o'clock. It is said that he remarked: "I expected it, but not so soon Those who have wmvereecTwith him to-night say that he was satisfied that bis veto, would be negatived, and the bill be passed, but that he would have preferred to have had the points of objection he set forth discussed and combatted. BOW THE WRECKER TAKES IT. Secretary Sherman is represented as being quite moody over what he deems the hasty action of the Senate. He fully expected that Conkiing would have embraced the op portunity the veto afforded to have made a speech in opposition to the bill, and that other Senators would have given the message respect enough at least to have forced some little discussion upon it. The day's action is THE GOSSIP OF THE HOTELS to-night. The prevailing sentiment seems to be one of relief that the bill is passed. Even enemies of the bill share this senti ment, because in view of assured legislation to remonetize silver, there is unanimity of opinion that it was better to have it setttled speedily. SOMETHING TO COME. Ultra silver men say that the present bill is only a foretaste of what the gold-bugs of the East may expect, and that no efforts on their part shall be relaxed until the silver dollar is made equal with gold, without re striction or limitation, the resumption act is repealed, and national bank circulation wiped out. Movements in this direction will be begun at once. To-morrow the Senate finance committee will take action on the resumption repeal bill, which has passed the House, and it is hoped to report ittothe Senate next week, and have it disposed of speedily. The bill to wipe out the national bank cirulation will be reported to the House as soon as the banking and currency com mittee is called, which will be within a fort night. SOME OF THE INDIVIDUAL EXPRESSIONS of members are ludicrous. Sam Cox says the message has not even the merit of in genuousness. General Ewing says it is no objection at all. and is illogical, and without warrant of truth. Carter Harrison says it has neither merit in composition nor argu ment. Tucker, of Virginia, says it is a weak State paper. Chittenden, of New York, one of the gold-bugs, says: "I am glad the President so forcibly defends the national honor." Ben Butler says: "A bad argu ment in a good case." He had hoped the President would veto itnot for the grounds he takes in the message, but because of the restriction on free coinage of the silver dol lar. I might keep on and quote ad libitum, but the expressions of sentiment herein set forth, serve to show the general feeling of members of the lower House. Summed up, the Republican opponents of the bill are disgusted because the President did not handle the subject with more force, and the Democrats, for like reason, are pleased be cause he could not combat the bill with more cogent arguments and it has been many days since the majority of both branches of Congress, of both political schools, feel in as happy a frame of mind as they do to night. BENTON COUNTY. Possible Reasons Assigned for the Mildness of Our Winter Just PastProspects of Early Wheat SowingThe New "Globe" Heartily Endorsed, Ac. To tke Editor of Tax GLOBE. SAUK RAPIDS, Minn., March 6.Our planet seems to be passing through some hitherto untraversed reaches of space where wintry elements are unknown. This supposition may possibly be entertained as reasonably as any other, to account for the mildness of the winter months just terminated and for the beginning of the first month of spring. And it would seem, too, that this remarkable and long continued condition of the weather is not only observable in our State, but throughout the whole of the northern half of the continent. I am not aware that any scientific con conclusions have been reached, or even at tempted to account for this pheonomenon. It is, possibly, beyond the scope of scien tific investigation and human intelligence. However this may be, it is quite certain, that no winter precisely like it, or very nearly approximator to the character of the one just past, has occurred in this high latitude in our continent, in the experience of the white race here. What traditions there may be among the savage tribes, re specting the question, would be carious to know. At this point on the upper Mississippi, the farmers are already speculating on the propriety of sowing seed, and should their be no decided change threatening cold and a refrosting of the soil, the Bowing will commence at an early day. After a winter so snowless, and consequently, so dull, our farmers are more impatient to commence agricultural operations, and an early begin ning is anticipated. In the mean time, while our old globe seems to be undergoing a rejuvenescence, the new GLCBE that has swung itself into the horizon of Minnesota at St. Paul, blazes with an effulgence of light and beauty, which promises to exceed that of all lumi naries of its class, visible within the limits of our good State and even beyond. It is, indeed a splendid addition to the newspaper galaxy of our enterprising commonwealth, and a new glory in its political astronomy! As soon as it arose into the political heavens, the glasses of all the Republican sanctums of the State (and their name is legion) were anxiously turned upon it, and the re sult is a generous and hearty hail from them all to its advent. For this evidence of the good will and respect of our political adversaries the hitherto long unchampioned Democracy of the State can but join with the alert editor of HE GLOBE in thanking them for their commendatory notices of the new luminary, with the hope that some of its scintillations may penetrate their dim abodes of thought. HE GLOBE is being perused with advantage by many of the citizens of this county, and efforts made to give it all possible circulation. RIVIEBE.
