CHAPMAN, of Knox. Veto of the Civil Rights Bill. The Civil Rights Bill which was pre- ' seated to the President {or hie signature h«s been returned to the Senate with his obieilions. We will publish the message Belt week. The bill if possible is more objections! I than the Freedmen’s Bureau Bill, abrogating as it virtually does State Rights a <! •• a direct u-o”, m central 2 p>*r at Washington. It is a fuither effort of the Reru 'lean party to prolong their power by unauth .rized and unneceasary legislati n. Thoau 1 . emanating from a !oya) body, “socalled,’’ it »m intended to revoluti >nii- some vs the fuadameatal principles of the Government. The importance to tlie Repubiictns of t) e passage of this bill may be judged by > the comments of the Republican press on the veto, urging as they graveiy do im- ' p< acf m. nl as the least penalty that should be visited upon him. Ex'reme radicals are not sa’isfied with impeachment and demand Ll<-od. This may be a grave charge but it is nevertheless tru“. This ; latter class of men are scarce in lias locality, but they exist here, but we deem it unnecessary to name them.

C-J'The Supreme Court of the State of Lave issued a perpetual injunction against Eaton and Jenkins for countcrfiting Ayer’s Cathartic Piils holding them responsible for the cruel imposition in what they have Jone and restraining them from further like injury to the public. If any «!as» of our people more th >n another neeJs the interposition of law to shield them from im posture, it is trie sick and suffering wh are unable to protect themselves. A aemedy so univer'ally employed as Ayer’s Pills by all classes, both to cure and prevent disease, should as it does, have every security the law can afford it from counterfeit and imitation.— Cvdioef SrAsnwterfjr. Hon. I). Stndabaker. In locking around for a suitable person to represent the Democratic party on the Congressional ticket, we find no one that would he so generally aec-p able to the party as Hon. D. Studabaker, of Adams i-oun’v—the stronghold of Democracy in thia District. Mr. S u labaker is an unflinching Democit, very popular with the ' people, an able speaker, possesses talent of the highest order, and is, withal, a man of the strictest integrity. He has reprt sented his county in the State Leg islaiure.nnd was known as sn attendee an rffiient member. Il nominated, he ai i, make a thorough Canvass of the District, and carry it by a large majority. The above complimentary notice of one of our citizens is taken from the Hunting’••n Democrat. Iu reply we would sav ( U-ai while Mr. S udabaker ij deeply grate 1 Iu! for the fl notice of the Demo crat, he has no aspiration* fur Congress, ami authorises us to make this announce n>' nt. 11.-; tubj-ct has been canvassed here to \ some extent, but we are not prepared to ■ express an opinion at present, but propose to refer to the matter again in a short; time.

The nance of James W. Sansherry, esq , we see m.ntioned in connection with the D-mocratic notnina'ion for Congress iu the Elev nth District. The Anderson Standard says of him: Mr. S-msberry is well known in this community as one of our ablest lawyers, a good citizen, sound Democrat and honest man. As a public speaker, he is Wore tl an a match for any m .» our Republican friends eaa bring out against him If n minated, he would, make an »b!e and thorough canvass, and it elected would fill the position w th credit to hims.lf and honor to the d strict.

CoKaRgsStGMAL CosvgsnoK We \ would respeet'ully suggest that it is about ( time some arrang< meats wire being made , for the holding of a Democratic Convention, in this the 11th District, for the purpose of putting a candidate in the field for Congress. As the n< xt 11. C. from this District is to be a Democrat, it is tune we cure set-ling upon the man. What say our iriends of the Democratic papers throughout lha District?—Stufftan Banner With due respect to the Banner't suggestion, we hardly think the immediate < holding of Congressional Convention h vouldbe politic Every day new devd-' ;

opments are being made that look to the early restoration of the Democratic party to p we’ and the partial disintegration of the Republican party. And while waean lose nothing in delay we may gain advan ages that will insure to us important retails in the rommv canvass. A destructive Conflagration occurred in Cincinnati last week, destroying Pik* Opera House, tbe Cincinnati Esquires Office, Adams Express Office end several other business rooms. The Enquirer office lost heaviiy their jot office being the largest in the Weal was en'.erely consumed; insured for 847,000. It will be rebuilt immedinle‘y- _ Comments of the New York Press on the President’s Veto of the Civil Rishis Bill. The Her-tld says that the President’s objections on constitutional grounds, exhibit the Civil R glits bill as involving he tn st fligrant devices for overriding 'he reserved rights of the Slates in their legislative and judicial tribunals, ever attempel in C ngress. We bad supposed this hill, in a new s ape, was a sot of reproduction of the old Fugitive Ltw, bnk uaJur iRm nnalysis of Andrew Johnson, it appears a , hundred limes worse than the rejected Freedmen’s Bureau experiment ant nothing less than a bill of unconsiiiu vital at> niiusticns from beginning to 1 3 end. The ol.j -cl: ns submitted against the srsl seci: >n of tbe bill, however, are those which mark the itnpisstble bar rier between him aril the ruling radical* of Congress. The veto is. in fact, an emphatic declaration of war against the radicals and their reconstruction sys rein, rod »nd branch. Henceforward there can ba no party indorsement of the policy of Congress coupled with pro sessions of adhesion of the administration.

The Tribune ear*: Lit us thank Mr John on that his veto is so sweeping He rni.'ht have phrased it more eun ■ n *ogly> but he has chosen to let us know > '.hat it is not this particular bill that has 'provoked his opposition, but that any measure whereby Congress shall attempt to pro'ect the Southern blackagainst whi'e abuse and oppression must encounter bis deierm ned and deadly opposition. Referring to tbe veto message the Timet says: Bo* we ventuie to think that few slate papers have ever been given to the world ilia' will s■_> th.-r lye impel the attention of the thinking men, oi wi.atev r creed or k niied or party. The analy-is of the details however, sos so keen and searching a character, the logic is so irresistible, 'h,i we should think even the strongest friends of the measure will see how vastly important it is that constilu ional powi-r of the veto should -list, and how impor'ant also, in a higher sense, it i* that such a constitutional power should be intrusted to aPresilent endowned with judgement, discretion and most un common courage. The Wurld says the ve>o is a conclu ive d-m ,listration of what was appar--nt before, that the conflict be ween the President and Congress admits of neither compromise nor reconciliation, and that ti>e controversy can be decided only by un appeal to either the comm n sense or the sovereign people.

A Fearful Tragedy—A New Yorkeran ludiaula.i Fight Until Both are killed. The YirgintatCily, Nsvada, Enter prite, of the 12th, contains tbe paction, iars of a leanui fight which occurred at Carson City, the capital of tbat Slate the daj previous. Tom Peasly was a native oi New Yoik, and Mart Barnhart ,of Indiana. We publish the naiticuiar. . below, which shows it to be as desperate a firht as ever occurred: The city of Carson was yesterday morning, about two o’clock, the scene of another fearful tragedy. The participants Thomae Peasly, a well known citizen of Virginia, and Mart Barnhart, of Carson, a brother in lew of Wellington Stewat. Both men were dead haTan hour after the affair transpired. The trouble was bseei upon soma old diffi

culty between tbe parties last winter at the State Senate. Wegive below the facts in the tragedy as elicited from ths testimony: Edward lobam, sworn, said: Mr. Peasly and I were playing billiards in the Saxarac Siloon, while playing Barnhart and two other men came in and took a drink; did not notice Barnhart again in tbeSazirac; Peasly and myself went into the Ortnnsy Hotel to smoke some cigars with the intention of going to bed allerwtrd*; Peasly sat to the right of the stove, and myseli to the left, near],’ opposite to him; Messrs. John C. Lewis, Pls,Ur and John A. Benham were selling around the stove, had been seated but *sh irt lime when Barnhart and two others came into the Ormlny; they were the same parties that came into the Sazerac; they probably took a drink and went out, but soon returned, taking another drink, lor which Barnhart paid; immediately thereafter Barnhart walked around and behind my chair, and placed his han lon a chair near Mr. Peasly, (winch 1 think had been vacated br Mr. Plater.) an I said to Mr. Peasly, “Why diln’l you fight .me last year at the Glenbrook Hous-?’’ Pea-ly hesitated a moment, and then said: “I don't know, are VOA always on the fight?’’ R.rnfiar' erect pJSItoV. said, “Yes,” at the same lime drawing ins revolver and leveled tla: the bead of Peaslv, who moved his bead One aide very quickly, and exclaimed, “voa d >n’t to mu-<.l er me, do you?’’ Barn hart appeared to draw his pistol bs’k to ward himself, and then pointed it at Poasly again and fired. The instant he fired. Peasly arose from his chair »nl advanced toward B trniiart, but fell on his knees, at the same tme taking hold o< B >rohart, who struck him on th- hea J with his pistol as fast as possible, Pe«sly then rose to his feet, throwing ln.u«e:f against Barnhart, forcing him into a small room behind; Pea-ly was apparently knocked down just inside the door o’the httl<-room; I then saw him rise to bis feet in the door, B <rnhart having his arm about Peasly’s neck, striking rapidiy with wbat I supposed to be his six shooter.

Peasly th-n exclaimed: “D >n’t let : him murder tn-; wbat are you a doing ” ;or something of that kind. John C Lewis th-u sprung toivird them, an I 1 -think look the baitl'e of the pistol from i Barnhart; I stepped up tn th ro they ' still being clu'.u'n-d. and said to Bar ; liari: " fl. it will do—y >j have shot him 'h’ougii.” Peasly >»t thistim-s'ag g-red back irom Barnhart into the bar .'■••'.ll. when Barnhart said: “D >n’t lei Pea-ly shoot me,” at trie same time sloopuig and picking up th- barrel ■ h s pistol; I took hold of th- barrel an I he Lt go of it; at tlii* lime, or at the time Mr Lewis and 1 took hold of the par i s. J lines Moran also tojx holi of Barnhart; as I re-ired to the counter, exorct'ng to tee Peasly fall. Peasly ex claimed; “I am shot thr mgh an! thiounh," an I instantly stra ghtened up. drew his revolver; he then made a movemenf toward Barnhart, who wis step ping back into the door oi the room re i lerred to and fired his pistil at B irn hart, who was then in th; room: Peasly sprang toward the door, thirst the mux ' zle of the pistil through the door and then fired; he then force! the door open, stepped inside and fired a third shot; I tl.e i walked quietly away from the room iu search ol Mayor J ones and several other genliemm; I found them at the | Sazinrc and told them horridly what had' happened, and ili-v »nd rny-e.f returned to the Ormsby House, where 1 siw Peasly lying on ths rt .or; some one said he was breathing; I tain went into the card room, where I saw Barnhart lying on tic fluor gasping; I returned to Peasly and opened his shirt; while I was doing so he som-d to revive; he took roe by'.he band, drew rae toward him. put liis lips to my ear and whispered: "Take a horse and go for my brother Andy.’’ I immediately started lor Virginia and obeyed his request; on my return this morning I saw him a corpse.
