V~andorbilt's Sons and SOns.in.Lar.

The Commodore has been rather
fortunate in his alliances and kindred
generally. Allowing that one of his
boys (Cornelius) has been wild, the
other William Henry is as steady as
could be desired. Cornelius, indeed
has promised to turn over q new leaf,
and perhaps will also come out right.
The Commodore has the satisfaction
to find William a capable and effici.
ent railroad man, who now serves
as Vice President on the Hudson Riv~
er and Central. William is now in
his fftieth year, and fully restored to
health. One of his sons William X,
Vanderbilt, assists him as private
secretary, and another one of them
Cornelius, jr.,l is treasurer of the
Harlem road. The Commodore means
that his children shall be working
men, and he has found them ready to
undertake any duty required.
His sons-in law have also caupht
his emulous and ambitious spirit, and
are making their mark as railroad
men. One Of them, Daniel Torrance,
was e-President of the Central, and
did good service in that office. The
Commodore has recently made him
President of the Ohio and Mississippi
road, for which office he is well adapt-
ed. Mr.. Torrance is q man of wealth.
but has an active mind, and hence
business is congenial. The other SON
in-law is Horace +. Clark, a Yankee
lawyer, who is as keen as q brier, and
is the old gentleman's confidential
adviser. There was a pair of brothers
who came to this city, Horace and
Frederick. The former took to law
and married rich, while the latter
became q preacher and devoted
himself to doing good. Horace is q
fine looking man, whose age might
be taken for fifty. He is full of nerve
and fire, and still has great GOODNESS
and calculation, so that upon the
whole he may be considered one of
the most accomplished men in Wall
street.
MI. Clark is now President of TIE
Lake Shore road, whose stock has adj.
yanced 20 per cent. since last fall NOT.
withstanding it has recently been
mortgaged for thirty millions. The
reader will see that the Commodore
has an unusual family sire myth, which

An Important Decision by United
states District Judge TrtgG.

states District Judge Trigg.
The following decision has been
rendered by Hon. CONNALLY f.
TRGGG, Judge Of the United States
District Court, at Nashville, q few
days ago, in a cas- which has excited
a good deal of interest in Giles County,
and which involves several impor-
tant points connected with the bank
ruptcy act:
D. II. Parsons, Assignee Of J, I. Mof-
felt, VS.. II. b, Cox.
In this case it appears from the evil
dence that in September, 1869, j. +.
Moffett was engaged in business at
Pulaski, Tennessee, as u merchant,
having a stock or merchandise worth
some So 900 or $4,000. r. B. Cox, the
defendant, was his clerk and brother
in-law, and at that time Mottett owed
the latter nearly s. years salary as
clerk (some Sl,375), besides other con-
siderable amounts. Motlett also owed
at the time ten or twelve thousand
dollars, to other creditors, principally
merchants of Cincinnati. 1t appears
in proof that Cox knew Of the eXis-
tense of this Indebtedness, or of the
greater part of it; that he was MOtfetts
principal clerk; that he had. toa con-
siderable extent, charge Of the bust
ness, AMI had written letters, in the
name of Moffett, to a number Of the
creditors, making excuses for not pay
ing their debts.
1t was also in evidence that MOftett
had IN interest in n tract of land in
Obion County, Tennessee, estimated
to be of considerable value, although
the interest was undivided, and proba-
bly, somewhat involved in litigation;
and from the testimony of the witness
es, both Motlett and Cox appeared to
have borne excellent characters in the
community where they resided.
In September, 1869, Motfett was
sued il. the Federal Court at Nashville
for some 5000, and the evidence
shows hat Cox knew of this suit, and
that judgment would soon be taken
upon it.
Under these circumstances, on the

Perhaps in tho whole category Of diseases to
which humanity is susceptible, tho cough is
most neglected in its carly; stage. A simple
cough is generally regarded ms temporary af-
fiction-unpleasant and nothing moro; but to
those who have paid dearly for experience, it
is the signal for attack for tho most fearful Of
all iseases-Consumption. A cough will lead
to Consumption not checked--so sure as the
riyulet leads to the river; yet it is an easy enc
my to thwart, if met by the proper remedy.
Allen's LING Balsam is the great cough remedy
of the age. and It has earned its reputation by
merit alone.

baby less frequently, and do not allow
1t to take any thing whatever into its

In 1886, James Black, Scotch sailor bay,

at the Mission San Rafael, about twelve
miles above the metropolis. He learned tho
Spanish language, and eventually married
into tho Spanish family Of 6epulvcda He

Government, covered it and 10000 acres

Finally he fell off his horse on a hillside

his death the relatives assembled in the

and calmly, and asked to see the will It
was handed to her. and in the twinkling Of
