York, April 30.-Tüe following are ' f t [j 0 opinions of tbe press on the ' Rent's veto message : ri .' ' g t _ Louis Globe-Democrat says : , ar presentation of tbe objections to the a ! !|utionary scheme of tbe Bourbons, and r in strong light the reasons why the bill ; jj not become a law. :i C e gp Louis Republican says : Upon the i, ijent, upon the administration of which I - ; the executive head, and upon the politi 1 organization which he is made to repre must rest the responsibility for the mis vous consequances which may follow. The Cincinnati Enquirer says: The veto in direct conflict with the constitution and 'batnelessly hostile to the Declaration of Independence. It is an assertion of execu te prerogatives that is both groundless and ^riions. It is a declaration that Congress J\.. f or bid Congress to appropriate moneys , r the maintenance of the government it OiDgrcss attempts to direct the manner in which !lU d the purpose for which within the constitution the money shall be expended. The Cincinnati Gazette says : The state* meD ts in the veto message are plain and the conclusions so strong that they cannot be answered. The President is with his party aD d country, and tbe party and country are with him. The Cincinnati Commercial eays : It has tbe more weight that it comes from a Presi dent who has from tbe day of his nomination ebown a disposition to soften party antagon isms and allay sectional feeling, going beyond the views and incurring the suspicions of a majority of the party with which he is iden tified in his efforts to conciliate extremes and bring into reasonable harmony the discordant elements of American politics. The Boston Journal says : We believe the intelligence of the country after a careful perusal of the message will approve of tbe President's course, and conclude that his ob jections to the measure are sound and entitled 0 the highest consideration. The Boston Post says : The President's Ejections are of little importance. He has inmistakably proclaimed that he and his )»rty were determined to stop the wheels of government rather than submit to the repeal >f measures for controlling elections by fed :ral bayonets. The Chicago Times says: Mr. Hayes bas iken an oath to faithfully execute the office f President and protect and defend the con titution. He has performed that duty with boldness and vigor that will commend him 1 the applause of all good citizens. The Chicago Tribune says : The President as earned the gratitude of his country by the rompt and courageous performance of his uty, and will find universal admiration for be intelligent manner In which he has one it. The Chicago Inter-Ocean says : The Pres ient's action will give confidence to Repub icans and encourage them to fight out the attle on the issue presented by the Demo rats, firmly and without hesitation. .- I— Approval of the Veto. Des Moines, April 30.—A salute of four een guns was fired to night, one for each of be original 13 States and one for Iowa, in onor of the President's veto.

Springfield, (111.,) May 2.—A joint Re ublican Legislative caucus to-day adopted esolutions endorsing the President's veto of ie Army Appropriation bill, and approving f tbe course of Senator Logan in the con ■ijvergy with Representative Lowe. KnllroHd A flairs. San Francisco, May 1. —A Portland dis atcb says : A gentleman closely identified dth the enterprise arrived here on the last tenner, and states that Jay Gould has made deflection at Ft. Hall, Idaho, from the orthern line in the direction of Oregon, and as let the contract for one hundred miles of sad. If this road should be continued on ie line of this deflection, and there are good Basons for believing it will, it will touch the Columbia river at Umatilla. The managers f tbe local railroads are projecting the nar [>w gauge roads to connect with the Utah [orthern. Transcontinental Railroad Scheute. Washington, Mayl.—It was reported here to-day that Jay Gould will soon complete the transcontinental railroad by building a line of 50 miles between Toledo and Detroit, which will give him connections from Boston by way of the Grand Trunk, and from New York by way of the Erie road to Ban Fran cisco, independent of the Yanderbllt lines. The Arm j Appropriation Bill* Chicago, May 2. —The Journals Washing ton special says : The talk of the Democrats to-day indicates pretty conclusively that they intend to pass the Army Appropriation bill next week, modified to the extent of leaving out all political sections and allusion to civil officers, making the section apply solely to the army. In this shape tbe Democrats pro fess to believe the bill will receive the ap proval of the President Murder of a Chicago Merchant. Chicago, May 1.—Last December, Mrs. Ada Roberts filed a bill against Theodore B. Weber, member of a prominent wholesale boot and shoe firm here, charging Weber with seduction and that he had promised to pay her eight per cent, on $5,000 annually during his life on condition that she would support their son and keep silent ; that Ed mund Jussen, his lawyer, was appointed trustee of the fund, but that Weber had un accountably stopped these payments. Weber tiled an answer last month, alleging that black mail bad been practiced and confessing that certain sums had been extorted from him, but the woman having failed to keep silence he had stopped payments. This after noon, as Weber, Mrs. Roberts and Jussen were in the latter's office taking Weber's testimony, Mrs. Roberts suddenly drew a pistol and shot Weber in the abdomen. He was taken home, bleeding inwardly, and will die probably to-nigbt. He has made a will and claims that he is innocent. Chicago, May 2.—Theodore B. Weber, who was shot yesterday by Mrs. Roberts, died at 2:15 p. m. tc-1ay. Mrs. Roberts was held on the ebarga of murder. Weber's wife is in Europe. She has no children. Stage Kobbery. San Francisco, April 30.—A Eureka, (Nevada,) dispatch says: The Ruby Hill stage was stopped near Eureka last night by three men. Tbe passengers and express box were robbed. In Eureka, last night, two men went to a livery stable, bulldozed tbe hostlers and took two of the best horses and started off. They were pursued by the Sheriff's posse and overtaken this morning at Railroad Can yon. The thieves showed fight, and one named John Sullivan was killed, and the other was wounded and taken to jail. Sulli van was from Massachusetts, where he has a wife. S»le«r Silver. San Francisco, May 1.—The Bank of Cal ifornia has sold to the government 100,000 ounces of silver, for delivery here, at 110$. The coinage at the San Francisco mint for April, was of double-eagles, $2.540.000; standard silver dollars, $10,000. The Carson mint was idle during the month. The treasure shipments per City of Pekin was as follows : Fine silver, $208,200 ; trade dollars, $11,066; Mexican, $53,941; gold coin, $9,130. Marriage or Lieutenant Rowell. San Francisco, May 2. —A Portland dis patch says : Lieutenant Charles W. Rowell, Adjutant Second Infantry U. S. A., was married last night to Bailie, daughter of Gen. Frank. Wheaton, U. B. A. A Test Question. Chicago, May 2.—The Times' Wasington special says : The whole question of tbe use of troops and federal officials at an election for Congress will come up in the case of Eichoff, contestant of Einstein, a New York sitting member. Eichoff simply basis his claim to Einstein's seat upon the fact that he was defrauded of election through the inter ference of federal officials. The House elec tions committee will make a precedent of Ibis case at once by summarily rejecting Einstein upon proof of federal interference. A member of the joint committee said, "We propose to give it to Hayes hot and strong after this. There were lots of Democrats who were timid the last time and allowed the Repub licans to count us out because they had the odds against us. But this time we have the country in our hands, and so sure as there is a God in heaven, every State will be thrown out where these federal laws are enforced." The above clearly defines the fight as it will be made by the Bourbons. They are plying the party lash vigorously, and hope to drill everybody in line at caucus. Thr New Nil ver Rill. New York, May 2.— The Times to-day, in an editorial on Warner's silver bill, says: While the Treasury will cease to receive the present accumulation of coin from the mints it will receive far larger amounts of silver bullion, covered by certificates, in payment of revenues. There is no limit to the amount of dues to the government which may be paid in those certificates, and this large accumula tion of bullion the Treasury is actually for bidden to coin and must sell for what it will bring. A more ingenious arrangement for the benefit of the silver ring it would be diffi cult to imagine. We are not aware what benefit it is even supposed would result to the country from this generous gift to the silver mine owners, nor do we know wherein these gentlemen have earned such munificent lib erality. ^ | ^ Destructive Fires. Bt. Petersburg, April 30.—A great fire occurred in the city of Orenburg, Ural river, Monday and Tuesday last, destroying the principal part. The loss was enormous. More than half of the population are destitute of food and shelter, and a number of persons were injured. A dispatch from the Governor of Orenburg to the Minister of the Interior says: A violent storm assistedjjin spreading the flames Monday and Monday, night, and the best quarters of the town are in ashes. Violent Jft nr ricane. Pesth, May 1.—A violent hurricane at Szegedin, yesterday, destroyed the works pre pared for restoring the railway, and filling the breaches in dams. The barges filled with building material and earth were mostly sank. The storm caused extensive fresh breaches in the railway embankment, and the laborers are in great danger. Relief has been sent to them. FORTY-SIXTH CONGRESS. [Extraordinary Session.] SENATE. Washington, May 1.—Maxey, from the Committee on Post Offices, reported the bill to extend the time for special postal service under the service contracts obtained by ad vertisement. Saulsbury, from the Committee on Elec tions, reported a resolution instructing that committee to inquire into the matter of tbe contest of Spofford against Wm. P. Kellogg regarding a seat in the Senate, with power to send for persons and papers, and to employ a stenographer to take the testimony either in Washington or New Orleans by the sub committee. Cameron (Wifl.) objected to its present consideration. Edmunds inquired when the Senate might expect the Committee on Appropriations to report back the Legislative Appropriation bill? Davis (W. Va.) replied that the bill had just been printed. The sub-committee had been at work on it and might report to the full committee to-morrow. Edmunds inquired whether it was not the same bill that was acted on at a former ses sion of Congress, except matter extrane ous to appropriations? Davis replied that it was, but it was known that there were some members on the com mittee who were not in tbe previous Con gress, and therefore tbe entire subject had to be considered irrespective of former action. Adjourned. nous«; of repklmentativen. Washington, April 30.—After reading of the journal the Bpeaker presented the veto message of the President upon the Army Appropriation bill, and it was read by tbe clerk. ,At tbe conclusion of the reading of the message, Sparks offered the following : That it is ordered that the message of the President just read be entered at length on the journal, as required by the constitution of the United StAtes, and that the House will to-morrow proceed to consider said message, and thereafter to reconsider the bill making appropriations for the support of the army for the fiscal year ending June 30,1880, and that said message be printed. Adopted. Washington, May 1.—Sparks called up the order made yesterday, to reconsider tbe Army Appropriation bill. A vote was taken on tbe question, no debate being allowed, whether upon reconsideration the House will pass tbe Army Appropriation bill notwith standing the objections of tbe President ? The House refused to pass tbe bill over the President's veto, the vote standing 120 to 110, not the necessary two-thirds in the affirma tive. It wa9 strictly a party vote. Only three of the Greenbackers voting for tbe bill and nine against it. Adjourned until Satur day. il 111 li >1 ■ A SHOCKING AFFAIR. A Relisions Fanatic Kills Ills Daughter. Boston, May 2.—Charles F. Freeman, of Pocassel, Massachusetts, yesterday killed bis five-year-old daughter. The man is a Second Adventist, and has been attending revival meetings. About a week ago he claimed to have received "wonderful revelations," and has not eaten or slept since. He says the Lord directed him to sacrifice bis little daugh ter and he declares that she will rise again in three days. Yesterday morning be sent word to the neighbors that be would make tbe reve lation known and offer an orthodox sacrifice. In the afternoon a number of Second Adven tists assembled at his house, but tbe child had then been killed. The little one was trans fixed with a knife and her blood poured out upon tbe table, improvised as an altar. Free man had driven every one from the boute and locked and barred the doors and win dows, and having firearms threatened death to any one who interfered. Alone with the dead child, he goes through horrible incanta tions which, he says, in three days will result in the "resurrection of my beloved child." Freeman was a mail carrier at Pocasset between the railroad station and post office. He awoke his wife at 3:30 on Thursday morning and told her he must make a sacri fice to the Lord of his youngest daughter. He got up and took the child from her bed and stabbed her in the side with a butcher knife. His wife said it was all rigbt, and that Abra ham would raise her next Sunday. Freeman says the child gave one scream and died in a minute. It is stated that the Second Advent ists held a meeting at his house the same afternoon, and appeared to wish the affair kept quiet. Freeman carried the mail as usual and showed no signs of insanity. The cause appears to be religious excitement alone. He is now at his residence, in charge of officer Reddings and Dr. Wood of Pocas set. Freeman informed a reporter to-day that he was told by God to offer Edith, his young and beautiful daughter, as a sacrafice to God and he did so. As God would not stay His hand he had to obey His command. He said God would justify him in his act. Tbe Negro Exodus. New York, May 2.—The Tribune con cludes an editorial on the negro exodus and condition of the refugees as follows : As for the political association in Boston, which now claims to have been the motive power in sending these hordes away from their op pressors, what is it doing to feed and clothe them now it has set them adrift ? Money was always forthcoming when needed to flood the Sooth with agents and circulars, but now these helpless creatures are starving and dying of disease. We have not heard of a dollar contributed from that source. Territorial News. (New North-West, 2d.] Mr. P. Hoyt has taken charge of the Race Track house. It will be a favorite resort this summer. The expense to the county thus far in try ing the Lobb murder case foots up in the neighborhood of $3.000. Mr. Wm. Hardenbrook, formerly Under Sheriff of Lewis & Clarke county, has come to Deer Lodge with his family to reside. 'The jury in the Lobb murder case had not returned a verdict up to the hour of going to press. They have been out since Wednesday afternoon. The gross reciepts of the Institute fair and concerts were something over $1,500. After payment of all expenses there was deposited to the credit of the Institute fund $1,220. The Sawtelle Company left on Friday last for Pioneer and played there that evening. They went thence to New Chicago and are now in Missoula county. [Courier, let.] George Budd has been appointed to a posi tion in tbe Quartermaster's Department at Fort Ellis. Messrs. Dewings, Baronette, Stone and others have recently struck rich gold-bearing ore in Crevice gulch. Parties who have ex amined specimens of the ore pronounce them equal to any found in Bear gulch. The marriage of Edwin L. Fridley to Miss Elmira Cbampaigne, on Thursday night last, was a remarkably pleasant affair. The hearty good will and generous exuberance of the community has seldom, if ever, assumed a more spontaneous or general expression than was manifested in the nuptials of this happy young couple. Last week "Minnie Anderson," a cour tesan, living in east Bozeman, took an over dose of laudDum and died from its effects. No cause is assigned for the act. The remains of the unfortunute woman were interred in the public cemetery on Saturday last Her female friends manifested their sorrow and respect by unremitting attention to her dur ing her last hours of unconscious existence, and sparing no expense in the last sad rites of sepulture. The Lowe-Logan Affair. Washington, April 26.—Representative Lowe publishes a card this afternoon < in re lation to his difference with Senator Logan, including the following letter : Wabaikgton, April 25, 1879. Hon. John A. Logan: Sir— On tbe 21»t mat. you published in the Republican , of this city, a communication containing words personally reflecting on me. I have twice addressed you a note calling your attention to this language. You have failed and refund to answer either of them, and you thereby force me to the last alterna tive. I therefore demand that you name some time and place outot this district, where another communication will presently ieach you. My friend, Cbas. Pelham, is authorized to act for me in the premises. Respectfully, WM. M. LtOWE. Col. Lowe then concludes : Thus ended this one-sided correspondence. It needs lit tle or no comment from me. I will not brand John A. Logan as a liar, for he is a Senator of the United States. I will not post him as a scoundrel and poltroon, for that would be in violation of his local statutes; but I do publish him as one wbo knows bow to insult, but not bow to satisfy a gentleman, and I in voke upon him the judgment of honorable men of the c< nmunity. Washington, April 26.— It has leaked out to-night that William M. Lowe, Greenback member of the House from Alabama, has sent a challenge to Logan, of Illinois, to meet him on tbe field of honor. The difficulty grew out of a statement made by Lowe,about two weeks ago, and published in a Pittsburg paper in the form of an interview, in which that gentleman is reported to have said that Logan, on the eve of the rebellion, contem plated entering the Confederate service; that he raised three regiments of troops in Illinois, which entered and fought in the Confederate army, and that just prior to the departure of these regiments of troops from Illinois, Lo gan deserted them. DangerooN Pol ley. Chicago, April 30. —Tbe Journals Wash ington special says : The Democratic leaders show more feeling to-day than yesterday over the President's message and are more defiant in their talk regarding their future action. The feeling is becoming stronger among some of the leaders that the party will not suffer seriously if they adjourn Congress after the Legislative Appropriation bill is passed and vetoed, and leave the government without money. This course is openly and strongly advised by leading Northern Democrats, who think that the President will be forced to back down when they come together again in extra session. —He is a good fighter. The Courier says : _ prospector comiDg from the Black Hills, was followed by a party of Indians for three days and while in camp at Prior's Gap was attacked. He killed five Indians. Supposi tion was that they were Crows, but this is a mistake, as none of the Crows are down that way. The man's name is Cummings. He was interviewed by the Commanding officer at Fort Custer, and Marshal Botkin. There were three other men with Camming,but had no hand in the fight, not being present. —The wind has been blowing "great guns' for the past thirty-six hours—the hardest wind we have had here for years. 8am. Richardson, the careful watchman at the tower, says there were very few fires in the business houses and dwellings throughout the city last night, showing that our people are not forgetful of the severe lessons we have had. It would have been a dreadful night for a fire. 1879 . 1879 . BENTON P UNE. f- ' v> m 15 Ulliil.llLH STEAMEB Leaves Bismarck on the Opening of Navi - gation, about April 15.
