WILLARD ON VETOES.

"Wo learn from the Indianapolis Daily Journal of yesterday, tbat Governor WilJard, sent into the Legislature on Tuesday morning, his veto of both the Treasury and Temperance Bills. But immediately on their return, the Treasury Bill passed both Houses over the veto. The Journal says "the License bill failed for want of a constitutional^ majority of passing over the veto in the- House, though as it had only one more than the opposing vote, its fate Ibolcs gloomy. Indeed we confess we can see no use in passing it, for the Governor •undoubtedly expresses the views of the Supreme Court, ns ridiculous as they are, and a decision will certainly complete the work of the veto. It is the will of the Judges and the Governor—for there is nothing but their whim of construction in the matiter—that the Stat'e shall have no restriction on the liqnor traffic."

Well, we cannot see that the people of this section of the State need the enactment of any such law by the Legislature, so long as the present law is strictly en forced. We mean the local law of Crawfordsville. When this law was enactsd, fears were entertained by many that it "•*rould prove unconstitutional that it would not suppress the traffic in ardent spirits but under the management of efficient officers, they find that they were mistaken, and that it works like a ekarm.—

On failure of the enactment of a liquor law by our Legislators, this local law, we imagine, will soon become general and "uniform" enough, for all practical purposes. It appears to be the aim and desire of the law makers to drive tbe people to the wall, or compel them to defend themselves.

TO CORRESPONDENTS.

We received a communication last week over the signature of "Criiicus," with a request, if we thought it worthy, to give it a place in our columns. It is not our intention now, to say whether this production was worthy or unworthy but to inform tbe author, that he or she, is spending leisure or late hours very unprofitablv and foolishly, in writing for our columns, or the columns of any other paper, and withholding the proper name. Such notice as this, however, has been given Correspondents, time and again and we trust they will cease tbeir bore of us, under this head.— When you feel that you are excessively impregnated with rich and lofty thought and are thereby induced to pen an article, and wish it to appear in a public print, you should affix such a signature thereto, as in your "wisdom, may seem fit, for the public eye and then be sure to give your correct name, for the eye of the. editor.— In such case, the production may stand some chance of an insertion otherwise,, ttonc at all. Writing for a paper and not complying with these rules, is entirely futile—a waste of raw material—an explosion itr the air Such things are exceedingly grievous hr onr sight.

The article alluded to, was in reference to a lecture delivered^ in this place on Tuesday evening of last week, by a Phrenologist, by the name of Wagner. We attended one or two of his lectures, and found him to bo much after the "old sort a much better man, however, in many respects, we judge, than the pimp who lectured in our place.not many months since. Dr. W.'s lectures were very genteel nothing unsightly or unbecoming, was exhibited and we suppose to many, proved rather interesting and amusing than otherwise. He however, made a wonderful blunder iu presuming tbat there were such in onr town, among the fair of creation, that would come forward at his bidding, to be seated on ths stand, as a public target, that he might selcct from the opposite sex, such as he said would make "congenial compauions" for them through life. No, no the man may be right in many things, Ust ho is i^ft assuredly going astray in a-py. community, in making such an attempt as thi*. But onr correspondent felii'nbs that rfie young ladies of our place, deserve the highest prai.-e for refusing to go forward. The highest praise for what, for doing.their duty? This would be altogether an unbecoming encomium—no one is entitled to. praise for the exercise oi common sense, when they are in possession of it, nor for doing right but, on the other hand, should be condemned for iriipjudent and unbecoming, conduct. We, therefore, have nothing to say eulogistic of those that narrowly discharged their duties on this eccnsioii uor wouM. we 19-

speaking of the Circuit Court which was then in session in Newport, Yermillion county says, Judge Cowan is courteous, affable, "fills, his position with dignity, and commands the respect of the whole Bar. We predict that he will make a very popular and efficient Judge.

The Circnit Prosecutor, Ilonr. W. HARBISON, Esq., is a yaung man of prepossessing appearance, courteous in his manners, and enlists the respect of all.— A short experience in his office, will, we think, make him a terror to violators of the law."

He departed this life in the morning of January 23d, 1859, at lj'2 o'clock, a this residence in Yuba county, California. His disease, we understand, was pulmonary consumption, from which he had been suffering severely, for near one year previous to his demise.

Horrible Tragedy in High Life—Dan. E. Sicklcs shoots P. Barton Key for the Seduction of his Wife—Intense Exc'dement at the Capital. [From.the Cincinnati Gazette.]

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.

The city has been much excited with a painful event to--day. Philip Barton Key, the District Attorney for tbe District of Columbia, and Daniel Sickles, of New Yoik, met opposit the Lafayette Square, near the President's house, between one arid two o'clock.

Sickles had received an anonymous letter yesterday, informing him of improper intimacy between his wife and Key. He charged her with it this morning, and obtained a written statement of the facts sigucdbyher. Not long after, Key appeared in the Square, and waved his handkerchief which was the accustomed signal of meeting with Sickles' wife.

Sickles observing it, went over and met Key at the corner of the square. Approaching him, he said "you are the d—d rascal who has dishonored me, and I have to kill you." He then drew a pistol and shot Ey, the latter advanced, and Sidcles retreated a few steps and fired again, when Key fell shouting "murder!" While he was down, Sickles attempted to fire his pistol a third time, but the cap exploded without being followed by discharge. He re-capped the pistol and put the muzzel near Key's heart, shootiug him dead.

Sickles afterward walkod to the Attorney General's residence and surrendered himself, after stating the facts and provocation. He was followed by an immense crowd, but with no signs of resentment.—r A hearing was had before a magistrate, and he is now in jail, attended by a number of friends who justify the act. The Criminal Court meets immediately, and under the present state of feeling, no conviction is prbable. ., •YEHITAS.

The Land Distribution Dill Vetoed. The Piesident, setting up his superior wisdom in opposition to the will of the people's representatives, and without just excuse, has vetoed the bill of distributing lands equally to each of the States, to aid the cause of agricultural and mechanical education. This is a really excellent bill, and is the first attempt made by Congress for many years to give all States alike an equifable share in public lands. The President doubtless prefers to have the pnblic domain squandered, as lieietofore, for the benefit of particular States, and to aid objects of a less praiseworthy character.— This is what might be expected from that quarter.— Cincinnati Gazelle.

jtSTThe Cuba egg is to be hatched in 1860, and in this 'wiseraccording to tlu» Washington correspondent to the Journal of Commerce: "The State Bights men" of the South will, it is said, generally oppose the Thirty Millions Cuban bill, and go for Mr. Taylor's project of a bill authorizing the President to buy Cuba, if he can do so at the sum of 8150,0Q0,000, and consulate the purchase by. the annexatibn of Cuba, and allowing it four Bepresentatives in Congress. The scheme may, perhaps, be adopted by the President in preference to Us own if it can ho earned through Con,-

VETOES.

The Governor has decided to veto the License Bill, though, at the time we write, he has not transmitted the message to the Legislature. His ground of objection was stated in the Sen tintl of Saturday in an article that was evidently the inspiration of a talk with His Excellency about the matter. It is simply that the Constitution requires laws to be of "uniform operation," and this law gives to County Commissioners a discretion to charge more or less, 03 they think best, for license. He may have others, but this will be enough. It is utterly senseless and untenable, for if that sort of "uniformity" in the action of counties be required, then it is unconstitutional for one county to assess a jail, tax or court house tax, or build any bridge or other structure that every other county does not assess or build. But as we have said itis enough. It will be sheer nonsense to pass the bill over 105,32 the veto, for the Supreme Court will follow the

Governor, or rather his veto, by consultation, no doubt, expresses the views of both. If his Excellency finds inobs multiplying, and the people in litter despair of any legal relief from the nuisancc,tearing down and demolishing doggeries all over the State, he may thank himself and the complnisant Supreme court for the happy state of affairs. We have had a taste in at least fifty of tliese riots of what will come, and if the Governor is eager to perpe'.uite suili scenes, he is taking exactly the right course in wresting the constitution from its clear design to such purposes as the veto.

Another two years like the last two—let all quiet citizens do what tliey can to prevent it, and let all officers use their best exertions—wilt see mobocracy rampant, and dominant too.— The 1comen will carry on an organized war against the doggeries that will never end till the law comes to their relief. The signs have been gathering thick for months, ajid tbe man is a fool who don't see what they portend. We may deplore such a state of atfairs. It cannot but do infinite mischief. But however deplorable, it is inevitable. We say the women of this State will not endure another two years of unlimited liquor selling without such resistance as will create more disturbance than was ever known before. His Excellency, however, seems to think that there is no danger.

THE TARlPFr

THE HOUSE, on Saturday, 26:h, refused to suspend th,e rules4( admit tfie introduction of a bill for the modification, of the Tariff. A majority' voted affirmatively, but not the required two-ithirds. Every Republican member present voted in the affirmative, except SrixKBin, of New York, and MOTT and NICHOLS 6f this State, the latter of whom lias recently male a speech in favbr of free-trade and direct taxation. Nearly every Southern Democrat voted in the negative, and the following Democrats, from theno:t!ivoled with them:

Messrs. JOIIN COCHRAN, N. Y. COCKERILTI, O. DAVIS, Ind. ENSLISH, Ind. GNOESBECK, G. HALI., 0. HARKIN, N. Y., HODOES, 111. Mounts, 111. NIBI.ACK, Ind. PENDLETON, O. SHAW, ILL. SMITH, 111.: and YALLANDINOHAM, O. The total vote was—veas 128 nays 88.

This result is unfavorable for a modifficationof the Tariff at this session, as those who voted to suspend the rules are not at all agreed as to tbe partiular measure to be adopted. A compromise, however, may yet bb effected.—(Jin. Gazelle.

WASHINGTON ITEMS. PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 28. The Washington correspondent of the Times gives the following account of the domebtic dificulties of Mr. Sickles, which led tothe killing of Key, on Sunday:

Mr. Sickles received an anonymous letter stating with precision so minute as to make suspicion imperative, that Mr. Key had rented a house on 15th street above K. street from a negro woman, and that he was in the habit of meeting Mr. Sickles there two or three times a week or oftener. The person and dress of Mrs. Sickles were accurately described, and the usual time ot interview specified.

Accompanied by a friend, Mr. Sickles went to the house designated, and fonnd every statement of tho anonymous writer corroborated. Key had taken tbe house, and had constantly met there a lady closely answering the discription of Mrs. Sickles. Mr. Sickles still clung to the hope that the person who bad stooped to the baseness of making snch charges, under the veil of secresy, might have thoroughly deceived him, and that Mrs. Sickles was not the lady in question. He accordingly requested his friend, Mr. Geo. Wooldridge, of New York, to watch the place from the window of a house just opposite. On Saturday no meeting took place, and the woman in charge seems to have stated that none had occurred since Wednesday.-,.

On Saturday evening Mr. Sickles resolved to play the spy no longer upon his honor, and determined to confront hi* wife directly with regard to his suspicions. At first s-he strongly denied her guilt, but on his asking her* whether, on the Wednesday previous, she had not entered th» house, on Fifteenth street in a particular dress and concealed by a hood, she cried out "I am betrayed and.lost," and swooned away. On recovering her senses she admitted her guilt and besought mercy and pardon.. rJ'Ir. Sickles said he would not injure her, since he believed her the victim of a scoundrel, but that ho had a right to a full confession. Two ladies in the house were sent for as witnesses, and in their presence Mrs. Sickles made a full confession in writing, stating that her connection with Key had commenced in April last under Mr. Sickles' roof, but that Key had tiince hired the house in Fifteenth street, in which they had subsequently met.

Mrs. Sickles' confession was made in the midst of the bitterest contrition and misery. Her husband simply asked her to give him back her wedding ring, and desired her io write to her mother to come and take her from his house forever. She made no objections, admitting the justice of her punishment in the most affecting language.

Hon. Bobert J. Walker and Messrs. Carlisle and Ratcliffe have been retained as his counsel.

Application will be made by Mr. Sickles for a writ of habeas corpus, with a viow to procure his release on bail to await his trial.

His wife exonerates him from all blame, and he has the sympathy of tbe community.

In the Circuit Court this morning. Mr. Carlisle announced the death of Philip Barton Key, late District Attorney for the District of Columbia. While eulogizing the deceased as a frank, courteous and open hearted gentleman, he forebore to to speak of the cause which led to his death, as that was a subject for judicial investigation.

The select committee appointed at the last session to examine the accounts and conduct of Gen. Cullum, former cleik of the House, acquit of any corruption or dishonesty in the discharge of his duty. They have reported the facts of every charge, which, on examination, was found worthy Of attention.

The examination in relation to the killing of Philip Barton Key did not take place to day, as was anticipated.

Mr. Sickles has retained' as his counsel Mr. Stanton, of Pittsburg, Chilton Ratcliffe, and, report says, David Paul Brown of Philadelphia. Through the intervention of a friend Mr. Sickles has consented that his wife ahd child remain with her mother, who was yesterday telegraphed for, ated is expected to arrive to-night.

Much interest is manifested in regard to the organization of the next House, in view of the present probability of an extra session, /ur.-.f.-

LATE DISCOVERIES IN PATHOLOGY show that very many of the diseases which afflict mankind arise from impurity of the blood. This has long been suspected but is only lately known. In consumption, tubercles are found to be a sedimentary deposite from the blood. Dropsy, Gout, Cancers, Ulcers and Eruptions, all arise in disordered deposites from the blood.— Billons diseases and fevers are caused solely by its deranged unhealthy state, and even the decline of life follows a want of vitality in tho blood. Io view of these facts DR.

COLORING FLUIDS FOR THE HAIR ARE Dangerous. Wood's Hair Tonic restores the color, not by the nitrate of silver process but by a restoration of the healthy functions upon •which the original and natural color of the hair and itt moisture its gloss its life and consequently its original beauty depended. Professor Wood as the age of thirty-seven years, was as gray as a man of eighty, and his hair was dry, thin and dead. Now he has not a single grey lock upon his crown, nor is his hair thin or dry, but soft pliable and moist as that of a child of five years. This preperation acts upon the roots for after an application, tbat portion of the hair nearest the scalp, is found restored to the original color whatever it was whi'e the ends of the hair are gray.— Try Wood's HAIN TOXIC and do not apply any otherft# after you have this. With this resolution you will never haveoccasion to use a hair dye.
