Commodore Vanderbilt Sinking
Fast.
New YORK, April %.
Commodore Vanderbilt is sinking
fast. His physical constitution is rap
lilly going to pieces. He has suffered
from hemorrhages half fis life but
the real cause is more deeply seated.
He has disease of the bladder and
hernia. 1t is feared the bladder will
be the ultimate and not distant cause Of
his death. Vanderbilt being noted for
his caution in all business affairs for
years he has beer prepared to resign
his post, and so complete are all the
arrangements in this respect that it is
believed that not withstanding his great
influence in the railroad business of
the country that his death would have
little effect i'm the stock market. The
stock which he holds in the New
York Central and Harlem railroads
would not. it is said, be thrown on the
market within one year after his death,
il at all.
senator Morton's Turn Comes Now.
A Washington special says Morton's
honesty is impugned and the facts of
the case as alleged are these: In the
Thirty-seventh Congress an act. making
the appropriation to pay the EXPENSES
of transporting and delivering arms
and munitions of wal to the loyal citi-
zens OF the States of which the inhab-
itants now are or hereafter may he in
rebellion against the Government ofthe
United States, and to provide for the
expense of orgauing them into com.
panies, battaliOns, regiments or other-
wise for their W protection against
violence, instruction, invasion Or re-
bellion. was passed July 3lst, 1861.
1000. 900 were appropriated under this
act. 1t will be observed that the title
is very loosely drawn and susceptible of
various constructions. Among the
list Of the war ex penditures, in connec
ton with the above, is this item: For
supplying transportation and delay Of
arms and munitions of war in States in
rebellion against the Government OF
the United States. o.. z. Moron.
Governor Of Indiana. S25O,0OO. In1i-
ana was never in rebellion against the
United States, and it was a qaeery why
Morton should have had S250,000
when there was 10 provision under
the statute making the appropriation
for which ths money could have been
legally expended. 1t was brought to
the attention of the correspondent that
in the Indiana Legislature of 1861,
some difficulty had occurred between
the Democrats and Republicans. The
two parties we're = tie in the Senai 9 and
the Democrats had a majority in the
House. The Republican Senators
broke the quorum to prevent some
party legi ~lation and the time Of the
session slipped by until compelled to
adjourn without the transaction of the
business. No appropriation was made,
not wen for the expenses OF running
the State government. Everything
seemed to he in danger of
coming to q stand still in Indiana,
when Morton made a trip to Washing
ton, and upon his return to lndianap.
oils he opened a pay masters Office and
began to pay The expenses of the STATE
government. No one except Morton's
bosom friends knew where he got the
money. and but very few know to this
day. The proper way To have Obtained
money to run the State machinery
would have been Il convene the Legis.
lature for the purpose Of passing ap
preparation bills. This the radical
Morton would not do, as the Legisla-
ture was Democratic. That Morton
obtained his money from tho two mil
lion appropriation above referred to is
certain, aud also that he misapplied
$3.50 900, as correspondence in the
Treasury Department will show.
Three unsuccessful attempts have been
made by members Of Congress I o OBJ.
