Governor Walker’s Veto Over- ridden in the Hous An Attempt to Upset the Coupon Feature of the Funding Bill and Make Gold and Silver, Na- tional Currency and National Bank Notes Only Receivable for Taxes—The Com- promise Previously Stipulated— The Interest Question Still at a Deadlock. RicHMonD, Va., March 2, 1872, Governor Walker to-lay vetoed the act passed by the General Assembly making gold and silver coin, United States notes and notes of the national banks only receivable for taxes, He criticised the pro- vision of the att which legislates national bank notes to the standard of gold and clothes them with all the attributes of legal tenders, and then puts the question, nas the Legislature the power to re- peal the provision of the Funding ggt of March, 1871, 80 as to affect the coupons already issued? THIS ACT 18 A COMPROMISE with the creditors of the State upon terms which stipulated that Virginia should not be held responsi- ble for one-third of the debt, except in accordance With any settlement that might ve hereafter made with West Virginia, and an extension of the time for the payment of the otner two- thirds to thirty-four years, with interest pavable semi-annually—the same as the old bonds, And as an evidence of their good faith, the State agreed vhat the interest on the new bonds represented by coupons should be receivable for taxes at and after maturity. The acceptance of this proposition of the State by the creaitors completed a contract the scope of which Was commensurate with the terms Proposed, THE RECEIVABILITY OF THE COUPONS for taxes was only on those conditions, and added a material element to the value of tne bond, lor MM increased the certainty of the prompt payment of the interest at maturity, and consiltuted, therefore an additional inducement, tor the creditor to accept the Compromise as a settle- Meut proposed by the Staie. by makmng we matured iuterest upon her debt receivavie for Waxes the State not only offered an additional guar- antee Of the prompt payment tuereof, but she in- creased Its value ia the hands of the taxpayer to that of gold or legal tender notes, and removed it beyond the UNCERTAIN FLUCTUATIONS OF OUR CURRENCY. While ts did not tucrease her lability in the Slightest degree, it did materially enhance the value of her securities, and tended vo strengthen her credit; and because tt added to the value of the centract Ww Constitutes a material portion thervof, and the Legislature has no more power to repewl or nullify it than any other part of tne obligation, The whole proposition of the State, as embodied in the second Section of the act of March, 1871, when accepted by the creditor, constituted a contract, every provision and clement of which, though varying in al ards Was, nevertheless, in law, of equal binding torce an Validity, and the least important provision can no more be imparied by the Legisiature than the greatest. The Governor then reminas the Legisia- ture that the constitutional inuibition against THE VIOLATION OF CONTRACTS originated under circumstances not dissimilar trom these which now obtain in this State, and says this construction of the constitution has been main- tained py a long and unbroken line of decisions, applied to contracts both of States and individuals. After the reading of the message in the House a vote to lay it on the tavle failed, and the law was promptly passed over the veto by a vote of 68 to 22. In the Senate the message was tabled, where it will probably remain to the close of the session. The only hope of a settlement of the debt question ow Is that both houses may agree on the pending proposition to pay four per cent interest, in which event the Senate will sustain the repeal of che cou- pon feacure of the Funding bill, NEW YORK CITY, Dr. Colton will repeat his amusing exhibition, with all the experiments, at the Cooper Institute to-morrow evening.

Scarcely had tne snow fallen in its hard and icy form than it was irozen on the ground, and the result was that great difficulty was experienced in the streets in matntaining an equi- librium, At about ten o'clock the storm ceased, but the frost continued to smooth and harden the snow ‘on the ground and cnill keenly all who happened to be out of doors, Taken altogether the storm was by no means one of the good old-tashtoned storms which people de- light in remembering. ‘There wasa dull, heavy sky, ® biting breeze and hard, unfaky snow, all of which combined tended rather to produce the ‘blues’? than to invigorate with all that healthy glow and fulness of spirits and fun a real, genuine fall of snow, heavy, thick, flaky, soft and pure, always brings to young and old, It was one of those storms that baMle the most weather-wise of philosophers, and destroy all pet theories as to how March 1s to go out when it has come in in such an unaccount. able sort of way.

PirrspuRG, March 2—~Midnight, Ahorrible affair has just been broughs to light which occurred in the vicinity of Franklia, Pa. Patrick Tracey, @ laborer on a farm in that neigh- borhood, has been for some time past paying his attentions to a pretty young lady, to whom it is Supposed he had been engaged to be married in few days, The girl has since reconsidered her part of the engagement, which proceeding deeply wounded the feelings of Tracey; but it was not sus- pected that anything of a serious character would result from his disturbed state of mind. At about the time of the dissolution of the bond Of affection between the young lady and Tracey she one evening accompanied Amos McK1 ley, about seventeen years of age, to a singing school. This appears to have stirred up a very dendisit passion in the breasc of the discarded lover, The morning before yesterday, as young McKinley was on his way to school, ‘tracey met him on the road, and seizing him by the throat choked his young victim till ne fell exhausted and tnsensibile.

DEATH OF A WESTERN PIONEER. Willard, the Old “Plains Freighter,” Throwa Down an Embankment Seventy Feet Deep— Total Wreck His Team. CounciL BLurrs, March 2, 1872, Robert HM. Willard, well known throughout the Western country as @ pioneer freighter across the Plains, and residing four miles east of this city, was lost on the prairie while proceeaing home on 'Thurs- day night, In trying to return to the road he, with his team, was precipitated down an embankment seventy feet high in such & manner as to be unabie to extricate himself.

A.—In The Fall of 1840 There Appeared mm the town of Geneva, Switzerland, two brothers, named Le Verrier, who sought empjovment as watchmakers. For day! nd even weeks, they wandered about the streets of the city, asking everywhere for employment, but finding no encouragement. In fact it seemed, just then, that the busi- hess of watchmaking waa overdone in Switzerland and that there was, at that time, no field for skilled workmen in Geneva, The brothers Le Verrier, however, were not of the com- mon stock of workmen. They had veen born and brought up in the canton of Neuf-Chatel and had been taught trom their earliest youth to work at the making of watch movements, was nothing in regard to the manufacture of watches which these boys, Jor such they seemed vo be, were not able to do. At least, by the favor of friend, whom they made by acct- dent, they were able to open a modest littie shop in the Kue Voltaire, where they made the best watches they could make and sold them right and left to tourists, who knew enough to tell a good from an indifferent timepiece, In course of time, this modest establishment of the Le Verrier Brothers grew too small for their business, and they started the great Geneva Watch Company, giving the most faithful of their employes a certain interest in their business, ‘This arrangement worked exceedingly well—in fact, it was the first attempt at a co-operative association—unti) within a few weeks, when it was found that the Franco-German war had so injured all kinds of business in Geneva that the great Geneva Watch Company must sell out ite stock at coat or else fail hopeiessly. THE PLAN ADOPTED. The former course was chosen, and the agents of the com- pany in this country are authorized to sell at half price gold and silver Watches to the value of over $1,000,000, which they are now doing AT 768 BROADWAY. In fact, they are selling gold Watches as low as $15 and Nt de wo $6. sliver down (0 88.0, AND SEE THEM. Now Is the appointed time; to-morrow may be too late.
