they appeared To be, and their tears
were the natural outcome of their

II is conceded by all physicians that
the ability To withstand the shocks of
disease eyinced by Commodore Wander
bilt is due 10 his stroug constitution
and magnificent physique, aided by his
absteInious habits and love of exercise
in the open air. As All instance of how
active he was IN his fifty-cighth year, 1t
is related that In 1867 lie was on board
the steamer Prometheus of the Nicaragua
line, as she WAS being moored TO her
berth at No 4, North river. A single
hawser had been run from the ship to
the pier, but owing to the strong cur
rent the vessel could not be moored.
The Commodore became impatient at
the delay, and throwing his cane on the
dock. swung himself hand over hand
on the hawser from the ship to the
pier. Then picking up his cane he
said " | was not going to stay there

truth OF this publication contradicted by

the publication is unwarranted by any rule
of propriety which should govern the inter-
course OF gentlemen. To approach one on
the street by reference to private mat
tiers in which the parties are mutually in
terested, turn the conversation into the
channelof public affairs, and make casual
remark the foundation OF a newspaper re-

aggerated coloring Of what was said, may
he Journalistic energy, but how far it is
creditable must be left to each mans sense
OF honor. Those who know Judge Miller
as well as we do will be slow to believe
that he has used the harsh expressions at
tributed to him in regard to the Democratic
party or to Mr.. Tilden. He is not in the
habit of using such language Of any one,
much less applying it to large political
body, among whom he numbers many Of

PUBLIC FEELING ON THE OREGON CUES
TIoN.-The question of Governor Growers
action in granting certificates to Democratic
electors In Oregon continues to be the one
absorbing attention in the highest political
and official circles here. There has been
no formal Cabinet discussion on the SUBJ
iect, as the members Of the Cabinet say
such technically rs the one presented is
not, ut least Mt this time. one that calls for
Cabinet official consideration. There has,
however, been earnest and repeated atten-
ton given it informally by members Of the
Cabinet, as well as by members OF both
houses Of Congress. This Is indicative, as
1t is said by prominent officials, Of the inn
portance that belongs to the subject. 1t is

The Conspiracy.

still moves along as ruthlessly as the
car OF Juggernaut, and daily grows more
and more formidable. We need be sur
prised at nothing. The peril OF the re-
public-ii, by stretch Of constructions we
NAV so call twas never before SO great.
Now Is the time for some true-hesrted pa
triot-some great statesman-some proud
and noble citizen, who can think more OF
his country than his own personal inter-
ests--more Of that country than the party
with which he aSsociated-now is the
time for such man to rise above all meaner
considerations and act the part Of hero
and patriot. A man who could do that
would win more renown than any other liy-
ing man. He would endear himself to the
whole country. No honor it could confer
would be considered too good for him. He
would be enshrined in every heart, and his
memory would survive fresh and pure for
long ages to come. -
Could there not be found one such man
in this vast country? Could there not be
found two or more companions to take the
field and stand by his sidey 1t would be an
honor to the country and the age, and do
oceans OF good to the nation, for such men
to appear. 1t would be beneficial to an inn
measurable degree; and coming in the midst
Of pubic distress and apprehension, it
would be regarded, in view Of the condition
o! things, as amongst the greatest OF nil
tional blessings that ever came to people.
The peril is great and the future clouded.
We feel that apprehended outragcs are so
abhorrent that they cannot succeed--may
be, we should say, should not succeed-in
this country Public opinion is slow. and
such grand act as that we speak Of would
be at once relief to the country, and bring
peace. prosperity, security, and content
mcnt where now are trouble, apprehension,
and agony.
The great anxiety OF all is the just fear
that President new seated by force pro-
longs the power OF the party Of force, which
will perpetuate itself by force, and possibly
put an end to the civil character Of our re-
publican system as 1t was handed down by
our fathers. We suspect that the American
people are not fully aware OF the danger
that hovcrs over them. An insensate and
ruthless usurper is treading under his feet
every obstacle in Constitution, law. and
custom which may stand in the way OF the
accomplishment Of his purpose to stltle the
national voice and seat himself or HAYES

President of the Senate.

We are gratified to see that Senator FERRY
denies having claimed the right to count
the vote for President and Vice-President
or that the Senate would depart from its
custom OF attending in the hall Of the House
of Representatives to participate in the
count. If there is to be any violent expe-
dent employed through the President OF
the Senate we suppose that some other per-
son will have to be appointed in Senator
FERRY's place.
We have the above contradiction on the
authority Of the Washington Union.
