We have not had a glimppe of the sun here for a week; but, nevertheless, we read with itonie afltoninhment of the snow storm which kas visited the Kant, and, in fact, all around ns, without deigning to pay us its renpects at all. The weather has been cloudy, but there Jias been no falling weather. Business, which has been dull of late, has ommenced to brisk up a little; and, like Micawber, we are looking for something to turn up daily, tfome twenty-five or thirty of the iron furnaces are out of blast at present, wing to a difficulty between the employers and workmen the former wishing to cut down the prices, and the latter declining to work for anything less than they have been receiving. This state of things cannot con tinue much longer, as the spring orders have already commenced to arrive. Some of the rhisB-blowing establishments are also closed, and quite a numler of the coal mines are idle, on account of a strike among the miners. Considerable indignation is manifested here cn account of the conduct of the Legislature in defeating the Connellsville .Railroad bill. The Pennsylvania Uailroad comes in for a share of the abuse, as it argued that that cor poration was instrumental in defeating the bill. The old charge of corruption and brilery is brought forward, and the Eastern members Mho voted against the bill have "red-hot coals" heaped upon their heads by the busi ness men of Pittsburg; and it's not much wonder. At present there is no outlet to the Kast from Pittsburg, save ly the Pennsylvania road, and every piece of merchandise must necessarily pass over that road, or go by way cf Wheeling to reach Philadelphia, Baltimore, or Washington. This, of course, is a com plete monopoly of the business of this section. The Connellsville Company desires to extend their road to Baltimore, and thus give to Pitts burg another avenue of internal commerce. So bitter has this feeling against the Legisla ture become, that some of our people are going so far as to advocate the formation of a new State, to be composed of all the counties west of the mountains. This idea is a little extravagant and impracticable, but it never theless goes very far to illustrate the fi-ellug which is prevalent in almost all circles of society. A matter of considerable pride with our people just now is the building of a large double-deck side-wheel steamboat. She is called the (ireat Republic, and will be finished about the middle of next month. She is the largest boat every built in this section; and as she is built entirely of Pittsburg material and by Pittsburg workmen, she attracts con siderable attention. I visited the boat at her moorings on thejMonongahela, yesterday, and in justice to her owner, Captain Donaldson, 1 must say she is the finest craft I have seen west of Long Island So'-.nd. The Trinity Episcopal Church, Rev. Dr. Swope, near the corner of Sixth and Smith field streets, has gotten up a choir which for novelty is a little ahead of anything in the State. Nine boys, whose ages range from Jive to fourteen years, assisted by a powerful organ, supply the music for the church, and they do it well, ine boys sing witu more force and volume than one would suppose who never heard them, and the effect is excel lent. Each little "shaver" has his rtle, and the novelty of the thing, together with the good music which the boys render, attracts numerous strangers to the church. It is a New England fashion, and a very good one. A matter which concerns our Philadelphia visitors considerably is the fact that our street ars run on Sunday, and our grog-shops are closed; while in your city it is rice row?. It is seldom, if ever, that you see any rowdyism in this city or the environs on Sunday; and our people use the cars for attending church, and would not be without the accommodation. The newspapers all appear to be in a flourish ing condition, if 1 may except the Evening Journal, which breathed its. last on the 22d. Another evening paper will take the place of the Journal in the course of a few days. It will be called the Evening Advocate, and be published by Mr. Pollock, the present owner of the Soldiers' Advocate. It will advocate the interests of the workingmen, and Mr. Pollock is confident of success. A new magazine is also on the tapis, which will be published quar terly, by Mr. O'Dyer. Mr. O'Dyer has secured some of the best talent in the country, and his magazine will no doubt be a readable one. The enterprising and clever publishers of the Horning Dispatch intend issuing a Sunday edition of their paper next week. Other lite rary "concerns" are talked of, but -as they may end in talk, I forbear mentioning them. The willingness with which men launch into the publishing business Intro is astonishing; it is a wouder some enterprising book publishing house don't start. While speaking upon this Bubject, let me mention that one of your Press Club men is here, and elforts are being made to start a Press Club. We want one. Next month one of the largest Fairs ever held in the State west of the Alleghenies will be held here, for the benefit of the Soldiers' Monument Association of Allegheny county. The site for the monument has been already purchased, and the Association believes, with the money to be derived from the Fair, that they will be able to erect a very large ami beautitul shaft to the memory of the departed heroes who now lay buried in the many grave, yards of the South. The object of this Fair is a good one, and I fuel confident that the patri otic citizens of Allegheny will contribute larcelv to the good cause. Another one of those monst.-r 20-inch guns which have made the Fort Pitt Works famous throughout the world, will bo cast at that foundry to-morrow at 10 o'clock. The Temperance question is being agitated considerably here, and the labors in the cause meet with very fair success. I am inclined to think that this question will have a great deal to do with the next campaign in this State. But those who live the longest will know the most, and I leave the question to be decided by time. A grand sculling match between two cham pions, one a Pittsburger, the other a stranger, comes off in a few weeks, on the Allegheny. Knowing ones say it will be a very exciting race, and that the stakes are heavy. Miss ' Charlotte Thompson is doing Romeo and JuliiJ, and other Shakesperian roles, at the Fifth Street Theatre. Fred. Aims, for merly of Casino nntorietytin your city, is here managing the Varieties Consolidation Troupe. The "Varieties" is quite a favorite, and does a fine business. James E. Murdoch, the well-known and talented elocutionist, gives three lectures here this week, under the auspices of the Mercan tile Library. He opens on Thursday night, with "Shakespeare and the Bible." Murdoch will no doubt have a line reception. FOURTH EDITION LATER FROM EUROPE. This Evening's Exchange Reports Bp the Atlantic Cable.

FROM WflSHlNGTOW THIS AFTERNOON. special despatches to evening TEXEORAPH. Washington, February 27. The Military Bill. Tlio veto of the Military Government bill will not come in until to-morrow. There is a tcrent pressure upon the President to sign It, and ftos slp has it that he has twice taken up his pen to do it. Collector for Bolton. There is a great rush here of Boston politi cians, scrambling for the Collectorstilp of that port. Among the contestants are Jude Hussell, ex.Governor Clifford. George Ashmun, General Couch, and General Devens. Governor Swann. The secret of the refusal of Governor Swann to give up the Governorship of Maryland per agreement. 1h thut lie has learned tlint the Senate Judiciary Committee will probably report adversely upon his claim to a seat in t he Senate after the adjournment of the Maryland Legislature, and that Governor Cox will then appoint Mr. Creswel to the Senatorshlp. Startling Humor. There Is a report aflont at the Capitol this morning that General Grant has suid to-day that the President will sign the Military Gov ernment bill. The best Information is, how ever, that the veto will comein to-morrow. The Tariff Bill. Mr. Morrill Is pressing the Tariff bill, bnt there Is no hope of perfecting it this session. The House Ways and Means Committee made two hundred und seveuty-flve amendments to the Senate bill, and of these only nineteen hnd been considered up to 1 o'clock this afternoon. If defeated this session, it will go over until next January, as there is no probability of Its beinc taken up in the hurried short session of the Fortieth Congress. Washington Correspondents' Club. The regular correspondents of the various journals represented in Washington met last night at the Capitol, aud organized a"V ashing ton Correspondents' Club,' for the purpose of promoting a higher degree of journalistic esprit tie corps, and to enable them to maintain their position in a manner corresponding with the high rank of their profession. The following officers were elected for the en suing year: Colonel L. A. Gobrlght, Washing ton agent of the New York Associated Pres-s; First Vice-President, George W. Adams, of the New York World; Second Vice-President, J. B. McCullagh, of the Cincinnati Commercial; Secre tary, Crosby S. Noyes, of.tbe Philadelphia Earn ing Telegraph: Treasurer, L. L. Crounse, of the New York Times. Kxecutive Committee: V. K.Shaw, of the lloston Transcript: James K. Young, of the New York Tribune: W. W. War den, ol the Baltimore Hun: B. K. Elliott, of the New York Krpresx; and J. Walton Fitch, of the Boston Tost. The niembershin will comnrisn ueaily thirty gentlemen, all regular telegraphio correspondents, residents here. Prospects of the Reconstruction BUI at the Executive Mansion. It is the general belief In all political circles that the President will send In a mild veto of the Reconstruction bill, affirming in the most positive terms his own unalterable opposition to the policy of the bill, but intimating that, if it is the legislative will of the country and it becomes a law, he will cheerfully and faithfully execute it as such. This is the general belief; indeed, there are none whose source of informa tion is worthy of credit who think otherwise. There are those who hope otherwise, and their strong wishes that it should be so, almost be come faith thnt there will be no veto. Senators and Representatives and others on both sides of the question are culling on the President to urge upon him the wisdom of their views, but so tar ho has committed himself to none not even to those who have hitherto been gazetted as his political and personal friends. The most that can be extorted from him is,' as above stated, that If the bill embodies the representative will of the people. It shall be executed if It becomes a law. To a Republi can member of Congress from the city of New York, whose voice Is potential in matters of finance, because of his vast business interests and relations, the President expressed himself as much pleased with his call, and thanked him heartily for the free expression of his views, which he stated 6hould receive the gravest consideration. This Representative appealed to him, In behall of the business and monetary Interests of the countey, to npprove the bill, or, at least, so to word tils veto message as not to produce a pauio in the country from fear of serious hos tility between the two branches of the Gov ernment. General Grant openly pronounces for the uornressionai reconstruction bill, and has stated to some of the President's friends hi"-h iu niithority. that he wished the President would sign the bill.

A heavy snow hud fallen in New Mexico. Governor Anny reports that the Indians on the plains are disposed to be peaceable, but those in Arl7.onn and New Mexico are on the war path, and have committed a number of murders during the past month. The military camps on the Membres river have been broken up, and the troops compelled to leave. Five settlers were killed, and stock valued at over 820,000 driven oil'. All the settlers and miners on Membres river nave gone to Mesilla for protection. One hundred and seventeen horses and mules were stolen from Mesilla in about three weeks, aud about the same time 800 sheep were driven awnyfrom a point on the Pearce Klver. Fifteen hundred Indians left the reservation near Fort Goodman, on January 21st, tor New Mexico, where they will, doubtless, depredate on settlers, aud commit murders and other outrages. I hree men were killed near Los Creuz. Janu ary 20, by a party of Mexicans iroui the vicinity ol l.u Os. while cainDaiirnlnir. The Apaches made an unprovoked attack on tlie Moquln village In Arizona, and carried oir a wotnuu und eleveu children and two head of stock. l he Indians on whom these outrages were committed call themselves christians, and are iiou-resiHinnt, nut through the exertions ot fiovernor Arny the woman and seven children were restored to their friends, and all tholr stock was restored.
