Me was born in Mass achusetts and emigrated to Ohio when he was eighteen years old. IIo afterwards studied law, was a member of the State Senate, 'and served three tei ma in the Senate of tho United States, commencing in lSoi. Having been a partner with Joshua R.Gid dings in practicing law, and having learned all his politics from that distinguished abo litionist, Mr. Wade was always an in'.enso anti slavery man. The abolition of slavery was his ruling passion and his solo object until it was finally upiooted. When Lin coln died and Andrew Johnson succeeded liim, Mr. Wado was elected President pro tern of the Senate aud acting Vico Picsi dent. Mad Johnson been convicted on his impeachment trial, instead of being ac quitted by one vole, Wade would have served as President for the reniaindor of the term. He possessed none of the quali ties of true pieatness, but was gifted with largo shrewdness, vast political cunning ami stubborn foice of will. In his privato life he Lad many waiui friends and Litter eucuiies.

Tut: coiusp of legislation in the House of Kepsrsenta ivts at Harrii-Atui g, on Tuesday and Wednesday of last week, was very pe culiar, Mini demonstrated once more the power of the Camerom ring. On the day first named the iniquitous Rccoider's bill for Philadelphia came before the House on its Una! passage. The henchmen of Secre tary Quay, for whose benefit the bill is in tended, did not entertain any doubt of their ability to jas it, while its opponents had but little hope of its defeat. Of the niuo Demociatic (so called) members from Phil adelphia, w here the people and the press are of one mind in opposition to tho project, Mr. Fa mice was the only one who opposed it. He fought tho bill ably and vigorously and showed cleaily that it violated several provisions of the new constitution. Of his eight faithless colleagues it can only be said that they lire fair samples of the men usually sent by the Democracy of the me tropolis to represent them in the lower blanch of the Legislature. The race of the Sam Josephs' school of stateFnien is evi dently far from being extinct in the Demo cratic distiicta in that city, and bids fair to enjoy a long leaso of political lifo. To the utter confusion of the ring, when the final vote was taken the bill was defeated, having received only 0.1 votes, or fix less than a majoi ity of tho whole house. Six teen Republican members had the courage to assert their own convictions of duty and voted against it. Maddened by this unex pected and severe defeat, Quay and his, re tainers spent the night in putting things in such a chape as to render the p.issago of the bill the next day absolutely certain. On Wednesday tho vote on Uio bill was re considered, and under tho operation of the previous qncstiou was passed by 107 yeas to 74 nays. Tho consummation of this job is alone duo to tho tieachery of the Democratic members fiom Philadelphia, who, with the solitary exception, as wo have staled, of Mr. Fauncc. gave the bill their support. It is haid lo believe that they are natural fools, and tic only other explanation of tie ir conduct is that they are corrupt, which is rarely not a violent presumption regarding a majoiity of the i Philadelphia members of both parties. The bill was sent to the Senate and has been re poncd with an amendment, which it is said will materially reduce the fie; s of the office, j but that is not a sufficient reason to induce i the Democratic members of that body to withdraw their opposition lo it. The bill . is ckaily unconstitutional, and no Demo-. I crat can ever favor a project which inves s j Governor Maitranft, or any other man who I may become Governor, with the power to fill an office by appointment for the period j of ten yi 'trs. There is some prospect that : the me.isuie will bo defeated in the Senate, but be that as it may, II.n ti anlYs nomina- lion of his ow n aud Cameron's man, Quay, . for Recorder can bo effectually defeated by J the Demociatic Souatots voting solidly against his confirmation. Let it bo done though tho heavens chould fall. On yesterday week Mr. Hayes sent a message to Congress Setting foith his rea sons for refusing to approve the silver bill. Tho veto will be found published in another pait of our pa pur to-day. After a debate of one hour in tho House, the bill was passed over the veto by lltfi yeas to 73 nays, being 10 mote than ttco-thirds. The vote in the Senate stood -10 yeas to 13 nays, be ing two votes over two-thiids. In tho House 118 Democrats ami 73 Republicans voted for the bill, and 20 Demociats and 53 Republicans voted against it. In tho Senate 23 Demociats and 21 Republicans voted for tho bili, and 0 Democrats and 10 Republicans voted against it. Taking the vote in both houses, the bill received 143 Democratic votes and 99 Republican votes, and was voted against by 29 Democrats anil 63 Republicans. The Secretary of the Treasury, Mr. Sheiman, although opposed to the bill, says that he will promptly carry out its provisions, and it is expected that in a few days the thiee government mints at Philadelphia, San Francisco and Carson City, Nevada, will be engaged to their full capacity iu coining the new dollar. The bill requires the Secretary to have coined every month not less than two nor more than four millions of dollars worth of 6ilver bullion. It is thought that the three mints can turn out three millions of dollars every mouth. It is the piactice of hotel keepers cvery- : where to sell liquor until the pills open on ; election day, and also after they are closed, ' the act of Assembly of March 13th, 1872, I having auihorized them to do so. Hut ' that act was repealed by tho Act of April ( 12 h, 1375 tho pieseut license law nhich makes it illegal to sll liquor on election day, whether sold before or after tho cl sinTj of the polls, as any oue can see who will read the eleventh section of tho act re ferred to. Two weeks ago, Judge Ross,of j the Bucks district, delivered an opinion at j Xotrihtown in which he decided tho law to be as we have stated, and tho defendant, Fiaucis M.

The Harrisburg Patriot says that the Fish Commissioners of tho State have now 500,000 brook trout, 200,000 California sal mon, 150.000 salmon trout and landlocked salmon and Kennebec salmon for distribu tion, between this date and April 1st.

The following veto of the Silver bill was sent to Congress by Mr. Hayes on yester day week : Af'er a csrefnl consideration of House bill 1.15. entitlHtl "An arl to authorize the eoiimire or Ihe ft it n.lHrtl silver dollar and to restore H3 It irnl lender character," I feel compelled to re turn II to the House of Kenresciitittives. in which it originated, with iny rejections to Its 1'ie-saiTP. Holding the opinion which I express ed in tuy annum messatre, "that neither U.e ln-tt-rrMsof Ihe frovernineiit nor the people of the United Slates would le promoted ly dis imratf itn silver ns one of the two precious iiip tnls which furnish the coinage or ihe world, and that legislation whieh looks to maintain mar the volume of intrinsic money to as full a nn-iisiire of both metals as their relative rum niert ial values will permit, would be neither unjust nor inexpedient.'' it has been my earnest desire to concur with Congress in the adoption of (Mich m-agiiiPB lo Increase the silver coinage or ihe count i y as would not impair the objura tion of contracts, eit her public or private, nor injuriousl) affect the public credit. It is only upon the conviction that this hill does not meet th-se i-Bsenthil requirements that I feel it my dutv to withhold from it my approval. My pr sent otlicial duty as to t tils bill permits only hii attention lo the specific objections to Its pnssHire, which seems to me so important us to Justify me in nskinR from the wisdom and duty of Congress i hat further i-onsl leration of the Mil for which the Constitution basin such cases provided. MNETY-TWO CETS FOR A DOLLAR. The bill provides Tor the eoinnire of eilver dollar of Ihe weight of 412 grains each of standard silver, to bf ahiral tender atihnir nominal Value ror nil debts and dues, public and private, except where otherwise expressly stipulated in the contracts. It Is weli known that the market vnlue of that numberof grains of standard silver dm inn the past year has been from ninety to ninetv-two cents, as compared with the standnrd (fold dollar. Thus the sil vor dollar authorized by Mils bill is worth 8 to 10 per cent, less than ft purports to be worth, and Is made 9 li val tender for debts contracted when the law did not rceotrnizo such coins as lawful money. The riifht to pay dut ies in sil ver or in certificates of silver deposits will, when they are issued In sufficient amount to circulate," put an end to the receipts of reven ues in ffohl and thus compel the payment of silver for both tne principal and interest of the public debt. i.H:!,4;fl,4oO of the bonded debt now outstanding was issued prior to February. 1S73, when the silver dollar was unknown fn Circulation In this country, and wasnnly n con venient form of silver bullion for exportation. ."S3.44i."5l r the funded debt has been sued since Fi hi uary, lsT3, when irold alone was the coin for which the bonds were sold, and irol.l alone was the coin in which both parties to :ho contract understood that the bonds would he raid. These bonds entered into the niarkefsof ihe world. They were paid for In void when Silver had greatly depreciated and when no ono would have houiiht them if it had been under stood thnt they would be paid in silver. The sum of K'il.imo.OcO of these bonds has been sold duilnir my administration for void coin, and the 1'iiiie.i States receives the benefit of these sales by a reduction of the rate of interest to four per cent. Durinir the progress of these sales a doubt wa siiBsrested as to tho coin in which pa nient of these bonds would be made. The pubhe announcement was thereupon nil tlmriz' d that it was "not lo be anticipated that niiy further legislation of Congress or any no tion of tiny department of the government would sanction or tolerate the redemption of Ihe principal of these bonds or the payment of the interest ttiri eon in coin of less value than the coin authorized by law at tho lime of the Issue of t he bonds, being the coin exacted by the government in exchange for t he same." I n view of these facts it will be justly regarded as a grave breach of the public faith to undertake to pay these bonds, principal or interest, in sil ver coin worth in th'.- nmrket less than the coin received for them. It is said that the silver dollar, inm'.a a legal tender by this bill, will, under its operation, be equivalent in value to the gold dollar. Many supporters of tho tdll believe this, and would not justify an attempt to pay di bis. either public or private, in coin of inferior vulue to the money of the world. A GRAVE DEFECT. The cnpitalrierect or the bill Is that It contains no provision protecting from itsoperntion pre existing debts in ease the coinage which it cre ates shall continue to be of less value than that which was the sole lciral tender when they wi Ti contracted. IT it is mw proposed, for the pur pose of taking advantiig"? of the depreciation of silver in the pa iiii-nl of debts, to coin and make a legal tender a siiver dollar of less com mercial value i linn any dollar, whether of gold or paper, which is now lawful money in this country, such measure, it wbl hardly be ques tioned, wi:, in the judgment of mankind, be an acl of bad faith. An to all debts heretofore contracted the silver dollar should tie made a legal tender only at its market value. The standard of value should not be changed with out the consent of both parties to t he contract. National promisrs should be kept with unflinch ing rldeliiy. There is no power to romp 1 a na tion to pay its Just debts. Its credit depends on its honor. The nation owes what It has led or allowed its creditors lo expect. I cannot approve a bill w hich. iu my judgment, author izes the violation of sac-red obligations. Tho obligation of the public faith transeenda all questions of prollt or public advantage. Its unquestionable maintenance is the dictate as well of tho highest expediency as of the most necessary duty, and should ever be carefully guarded by the rxecuiive, by Congress and hv the people. It is my firm conviction that if the country Is to be benefit ted by a silver coin age, it can be done only by the issue of silver dollars of full value, which will del rand no man. A currency worth less thn It purports to be worth will in the end c'ifrau.1 not only creditors, tint all w ho aic engaged in legitimate business, and none more surely than those who are dependent on t hi ir daily laber for iht-ir daily I.read.

The Lancaster Daily Era of the 1st iust. tells how one of the laii daughters of that city eloped with a one-legged peanut ped dler. Here is the story : It is said that a young lady of this city, of literury taste, delivered an essay at a certain place on Monday evening and, al ter rending it. hurried away. Kumor has it that she eloped 4 hut night wi:h a "small fruit" merchant, and ttiat she was traced as far as Harrisburg, where the trail was lost. May she never regret the step she h is taken, and, although her husband deals in "small truits," may tliisacl never result in "truits meet for repentance," Since the above was written, the affair has gotten into ihe hands of the police, and is a public matter. In sympathy for the almost distracted parents of the young lady, we with hold her mime, merely stating that she is graduate of the Lancaster (Jil l's High School, is quite accomplished, very pretty, and is the daughter of respectable parents. The man of her choice is Wallace Fillmer, a one-legged peanut vender, who had a stand in Trout of the Globe Hotel, this city, and who was arrested a couple of daysago on suspicien of having been concerned in the three hundred doll Mr rnl.l.A.v at Itoop'i! (Globe) hotel a couple of weeks ago. Mr. (irier, the father-in-law ol Air. lioop, made complaint ngaiust Killmer a coupleof dayatigo. He was arrested and taken before Alderman I Spurrier, where he was searched even to Ink- it. g off his wooden leg but only 85 cents were touiiu upon turn and ne was discharged. On Monday night he eloped with Ihe young lady In question and was traced to Harrisburg, which city they reached tit midnight, and at 4 o'clock yesterday morning they look their departure for Pittsburg. The detective nill ..r, ,k..i. track, new evidence against Fillmer having do- ' ieu run c iii ueian 11 re. The parents ot the imprudent voung lady re ceived a letter from her yesterday, dated Har risburg, in which she makes the declaration that she was married to Killmer about two weeks ago. Tim case is a sad one, taken in all Its aspects, and no one. can account for the in fatuation which led the girl to frrsako homi, parents, everything that was dear, for one n-lio-e reputation was such as Filliuer's.

Charlotte, N. C, March 2. Informa tion was received here this evening of a scandal which led to a tragedy in Clay county. The location is in the chain of the Illue Tlidjre, in the western part of this State. Miss Ada McClay is the daughter of the late Richard McClay, who was a wealthy and esteemed farmer and politician of the county just named. Hie is twenty two years of age, beautiful, refined and ac complished. She was educated at a semi nary iu Lexington, Ky., having graduated there with the usual h onors about four years ago. Just aftr leaving her alma mater she made her debut at the White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, and has visited that place of fashionable resort every summer since. It seems that a year ago last summer she met there a Mr, Wm. P. Shelburno. The couple fell in love ; courtship followed. and they were betrothed. He lived in New Orleans, and had vls:ted Miss McClay only three or four times at her home in Clay county, but had kept up a regular corres pondence. He had not seen her for ten months until last Monday, when he came to fulfil his plighted troth. The day set was the 1st inst yesterday. They were duly manied the nuptial ceremony taking place at noon. The company in attendance was not large, but was elegant. The afternoon and evening were spent in wedding festivities, and it was a late hour when tho bride and gtoom retired for rest. Rut when Shelbourno discovered that his bride was enre infe. He threatened to kill her in his frenzy, and only desisted on the condition that she would reveal the name of her seducer. This she refused to do at first, but finally told bim that Simp son Forrester was the man. He lived ad joining the McClay mansion, and had re cently graduated at ono of the colleges iu Virginia. He was only twenty-two years or age, but bad the reputation of being gallant, and at the White Sulphur last summer was a favorite. Shelburne's bride declared that he had accomplished her ruin five months ago, and that she had sworn never to betray him. He visited the house like an intimate fiiend, and last night he was one of the gayest of tho gay at the fes tal boaid. At 9) o'clock this morning Shclbnrne pulled on his clothes, armed himself with a double barrelled shout gun and went to Forrester's home. Tho young bride fol lowed, beseeching him not to shoot her destroyer ; that fche Lad forgiven him. But Slielburne was determined. He arous ed the Forrester family, consisting of two or three sisters and the mother, and called for the guilty man- Forrester feigned sur prise when he faced Shelburne, and denied knowing anything about the lady's shame. Only a few words ensued, when Shelburne banged away, discharging a load of buck shot into the shoulder of his enemy, who had no weapon of defense. The wounded man exclaimed : "1 am killed, and have deserved it all 1" The second bariel was not fired, for Shelburne, thinking the man dead, turned and saw that his wife, who witnessed the affair had fainted. Tho murderer took a horse from the stable of Mrs. McClay and lied the country, going iu the direction of Tennessee. The news of the tragedy soon spread. Special Constable Dolley gathered a party of men and went in pursuit. Tho excite ment in the neighboihood was intense. Dr. Heather rvas summoned to attend the dying man. 1 1 is wounds were dressed, but little hopes are entei taiued of his recovery. To add to the scandal tho bride gave birth in a few houis aftet the tragedy to a prem ature child. No such sensation has hap pened in this out of the way place since tho Johnson -Williams shooting affray ten years ago. A Fierce Tornado and Loss op Lifb in Kentucky. A .Stanford (Ky.) special to the Louisvillo Courier Jour nil snys: A tcnible tornado 400 yards in width swept through Casey county between 2 and 3 o'clock Saturday afternoon, doing frightful damage in tho neighloihood of Rich Hill and Mount Olive. Vincent Wesley, his wife, two grown daughters, a nephew named Sloan, aud William Taylor, aueigh bor, who was stopping at his house near Rich Hill, were killed outright. A man named Richardson had his shoulder aud collar bono frightfully ciushed. Mrs. Wesley's body was blown 400 yards and entiidy stripped of clothing. Her two daughters were carried fifty yards and were found locked in each other's arms. The father and nephew were terribly mangled, and all must have suffered instant death. The dwellings, stables and outhouses were entirely blown away, logs being scattered for many aids along the path of the tor nado, and hearth and iouudation s.oues blown from their places. In the vicinity of Mount Olive Mrs. Mor gan, wife of Johu W. Morgan, was killed and the dwelling and out. houses of P. Floyd were completely.swept away and the timbers scattered in every dircctiou. In the village of Mount Olive several houses were swept away and tha remainder other wise injured. Fences were blown away along tho whole course of the tornado. Post aud rail fences were drawn out and torn into splinters and uttei ly destroyed. Large trees were twisted from their roots and carried hundreds of yards, A consid erable uumber of horses, cattle and other stock and nearly all the poultry in its course were killed. The pecuniary damage is uot less than $50,000. A Gheat Scandal Case. A special dis patch from Cincinnati to tho Philadelphia Times, dated March 31, says that tho fust act in the great Tytus- Dickey scandal came to Hs conclusion at Hamilton about one o'clock that morning, the jury finding John B. Tytus guilty of breach of promise and assessing damages at six thousand dollars. The iuteresi in the case was so great that crowds of people remained up till after midnight to hear the verdict. The trial occupied just a week. The testimony ad duced as lo the existence of a marriage contract was slight, but it wT3 sufficient to satisfy a majoiity of the public, The next step will be a criminal trial, which will come on in about three weeks. Tho com plications growing out of tho case multi ply, several pcrsonaleucountersaud threats of duels being among the latest. A rumor is afloat to the effect that Tytus' wile, who was a wealthy heiress, will abandon him, should the next suit coagaiiifct him. It is understood that Miss Dickey has had more than one eligible offer of marrriage since her troubles began, aud that when she has fully vindicated her character from the as saults which the defense have mado upon it wijl accept one of them. She is a woman of tine appearance aud engaging manners, and, until recently, tias been popular in the best circles of Middletown and Cincin nati. Several libel suits and burglary cases grow ing out of the scandal are still pend ing. -The enormous number of 2,470,000 hogs has been cut up in Chicago during the four months ending March 1, which embrace what is usually called the packim; season. This exceeds by about 500,000 head the total number cut up in Cincinnati, St. Louis, Louisville, Indianapolis, and Milwaukee. The Chicago aggregate for the past twelve months is 3,940,000 against 2,933,493 for the twelve months next pro-ceding. Jietvp and orrter Votings.

Jaffrain, a skater at the Casino, at Brussels, has just won a bet by skating ten hours without a stop. General Beauregard was chief marshal of the grand street pageant iu honor of the late Pope in New Orleans. A North Carolina woman used lier baby as a missile so effectively as to knock her husband down, but it killed the child. A family near Evansvillc, Ind., com sisting of father, mother, and son, have all committed suicide within the past four months. Ebenezer naskell of Philadelphia lias expressed iu his will a desire to be cremated and placed, iu the form of ashes, uuder a rose bush. It snowed once in Lisbon, Portugal, during the past winter for the first time since 1840. Similar 6light falls occurred in 1S37 and 1S39. Governor McClellan and wife surprised the aristocratic people of Trenton by mak ing the acquaintance of most of the poor families in the town.
