NEW YORK.

The Cause Of Commodore VanderJilt's
Death.
New York, Jan. Sin the post NOR
tenn examination of Commodore Van
derbilt, it was found that the immedi-
| ate cause of death was liberation, re-
sulting in a perforation of the colin, or
large intestine. The perforation, the
| doctors concluded, could not have exis-
ted more than dayor two before death.
Besides this there was chronic inflamma-
tion of the bladder, which gave rise to
the intense pains that the Commodore
endured at intervals, and prolapsus ami.
Both lungs, the heart, the kidneys and
liver were found to be more OF less af-
fected by disease or unhealthy action,
but not sufficiently SO to cause death.
The Funeral.
The funeral Of Commodore Wander
bilt took place yesterday. The weather
was extremely inclement. Large num-
bers of persons called at the house prior
to the removal Of the remains to the
Church of Strangers, where the funeral
services were held. The remains, which
were enclosed in metallic casket, were
laid in the large hall and viewed by
friends and visitors and a deputation of
$50 of the attaches of the New York
Central a..d Hudson River railroads.
The floral offerings were of the most
simple character, and all attempt at dis
play studiously avoided.
Among the principal visitors during
the morning were Daniel Drew, Peter
Cooper, Thurlow Weed, Augustus
Schell, Rev. DR.. John Hall, Marshall
Q. Roberts, Cyrus w. Field, Governor
Morgan, Samuel Ward and Chauncey NJ.
Depew. The procession from the house
to the church was on foot, and headed
by Revs. DR.. Deems and button, Drs.
Linsley and Elliott, together with Drs.
Flint and Van Burr. The casket was
followed by Mr.. W. H. Vanderbilt and
Mrs. G. Vanderbilt, Mr.. j. q. Wander
zbilt, Mrs. w. II. Vanderbilt, and other
members Of the family, and a large con-
course of relatives and friends.

PRESIDENT GRANT.
What He Says to Interuie,rers.

What He Says to Interrtetcers.
Washington, Jan. s.-Last week the
Louisiana legislature passed a resolu-
tion asking for military protection
against apprehended Democratic vio-
lence. This resolution was telegraph
ed to the president, and laid before the
cabinet last Tuesday, when it was
deemed proper that no action should be
taken upon it, but since that time Gov.
Kellogg has telegraphed to the presi-
dent to the same effect, and desiring
his recognition of the Republican gov
ernor and Legislature, as two inaugura-
tions will take place to-day in New Or
leans. The president having prepared
reply to Kellogg's telegram, called
meeting of the cabinet to-day, in order
to inform the members of his proceed
ings and take action. The reply
was unanimously approved and trans
mitted by telegram to Gov. kellogg, and
the substance of it afterward given by
the president himself to the associated
press, as follows:
There will be two inaugurations OF
governors tomorrow, unless one Of
them is prevented. I do not, however,
propose to interfere with them. I have
nothing before me to justify action in
the way of recognition of either COVER
| nor, and therefore cannot do so, par
ticularly as a committee of each House
of Congress is now engaged in investi-
eating all facts of the late election, in
| cluding the contest of two governors
and two legislatures, both claiming to
be legally elected, for, under these cir
cumstances, to recognize one OF the
other would be hardly justifiable, and 1
have so informed Governor Kellogg"
The president reported that he would
not interfere by recognizing either gov
ernor until the contest should be set
tied through the Congressional investi-
| CATION now in progress, but that he
should consider it to be his duty to
keep peace, If the occasion required,
and prevent bloodshed in the pending
political complications.
In regard to the recent publications
as to the result of interviews with him,
the president said that, like others, he
had only expressed his views ON the
electoral question, but hadn't said what
he would or would not do, further than
to recognize his successor so legally de-
clared. On being asked what he thought
of the democratic meetings to be held
to-day in various places, the president
said they seemed to be intended to in
timidate the opposite party and make
capital. The effect on the public mind
of the north would depend on the char
acter of the proceedings. The people
were not to be brought to submission by
the attempted intimidation. If the
speeches delivered at these meetings are
temperate or moderate, advising con.
formity to law and order, and acquies
ence in the decision to be reached by
congress as to which presidential candi
date received a majority of the electora
votes, the democrats might strengthen
their position. Otherwise contrary
effect might be the result. =

MISREPRESENTATION.
Yesterdays Derelopments.


Washington, Dec. S.-The Senate
committee on privileges and elections
this forenoon continued the investiga-
tion of tho Oregon electoral matter.
Chas. Dimond, of New York, testif-
ed that he is a banker doing business
for A. E. and c. E. Tilton, N. Y, Ladd
q Bush, Oregon, and others. Witness
met the firm of Martin &c Runyon Dec.
9Th for the first time. On that date
Runyon came to witness office and left
word thai he wanted to see witness.
Witness went to Runyon's office and
Runyon gave him check for $1,000,
payable to Ladd & Bush, Oregon. Wit
ness gave Runyon telegraph dispatch,
which was sent to Messrs Ladd & Bush,
Salem, Oregon, saying "Martin & Run
yon have deposited 5000 to your ac-
count" Dispatch was in the cipher
used by him and those he does business
with. He wasn't requested to put the
dispatch in cipher, nor to keep the
transaction secret. Ladd & Bush
telegraphed witness Dec. 11th to return
the SS, 900 to Martin & Runyon. He
does not know why it was returned.
Witness said he would produce without
subpoena the letter book containing his
correspondence with Ladd & Bush and
Ladd d Tilton, of Oregon.

CALIFORNIA.
DISASTROUS Drouth.

San Francisco, Dec. S.-The drouth
continues unbroken and for the first time
since the American settlement of Cali
fornia December passed without drop
of rain. Reports yesterday, from vari-
GUS points in the state seemed to indi-
cate change of weather, but it has
again clearedup
Crop reports received from all quart
ers indicate that in the extreme south
the drouth has already had to some ex-
tent disastrous effect on grain and
feed, and in some parts Of the San Joa-
quin valley and the lower portion Of
Sacramento valley crops are suffering.
From the coast counties generally re-
ports are favorable and no trouble is
apprehended. If rain should be delayed
until next month in the northern por-
tion of the state, anxiety is felt, but no
serious damage has yet resulted On
the whole, present indications are that
with rains later in the winter, sufficient
grain will be raised for home consump-
tion and small surplus. If rain comes
within a couple of weeks fair CROP
may be harvested under favorable con.
ditions during the rest of the season

WASHINGTON.
Pelton Called.

Washington, Jan. S.-Morton's com.
mittee has issued subpenea for W.T..
Pelton, Tilden's literary secretary, and
manager of the Liberty Street Bureau
during the late canvass. The testimony
given Saturday by Runyon & Harrison,
and the mentioning of Pelton's name
in connection with the transaction
which the committee is investigating,
has caused considerable stir in WASH
ington. Curiosity to learn the whole
history of it is greater than ever. Hew-
lit, chairman of the National Demo-
cratic committee, says none of the COM
mittee's funds went to Oregon, either
before or after the election. Applica-
tions came from almost every other
State in the Union for money to assist
in paying the legitimate expenses of the
campaign, but no request for help ever
came from Ore1np, Ha- olsa -rn,ss-+hn+

Interesting Inquiries.
The discussion among Democrats of
the expediency of an attempt to force a
new election has brought up new
question as to the powers and duteis Of
the Vice-President in connection with
the electoral vote. 1t is held by some
Republicans that in case the Demo-
Gratis of the House attempt to prevent
the announcement of the result by pro-
longed debate, it would be the plain
duty of Mr.. Ferry to see that the ses-
sion of the present congress didn't end
without his declaring the result, since
the constitution is mandatory, directing
that at joint session the electoral vote
shall be counted.

The Bennett -Mau Duel.

Philadelphia, Jan. 9-3 a. ma ru.
NOR tonight says Frederick May was
severely wounded in duel with Ben.
nett, to-day, at a small station in Della.
ware, near the Maryland border. Ben
nett arrived in this city at midnight,
and registered at the Continental hotel,
but declines to give any explanation.
Numerous rumors are current.
Bennett retired to his room shortly
after midnight, positively declining to
discuss the subject of his difficulty with
May. Gen. Barlow Of New York, says
the fact is certain that they fought at
p. m. to-day, at Slaughter's station,
Delaware, near the Maryland bounda-
ry, and that May is seriously wounded.
Dispatches to the same effect have
been received in New York.
