The General Political SituI-
ton.

From the Springfield Republican, Dec. 90,
The condition and prospects of
the Presidential dispute change
from the force Of public opinion
that is felt rather than heard. Out
wardly, the situation remains the
same inwardly, there is a con-
stantly increasing conviction that
Tildrn is entitled to the Presiden-
cy. and that by some process ont
Of the present entanglements and
conflicts, Congress will secure it
for him. The Republican leaders
at Washington are still trying to see
il the country will not sustain them
in forcing the counting in of Hayes
by the discriminating action of the
President Of the Senate with the
returns sent into him.
The Republican managers are
very jealous of the attempts Of the
business men and capitalists of the
cities to express themselves on the
great dispute, and seem to regard
any appeal to Congress to settle the
question on the principles of jus
tice and by the means Of the highest
national authority as conspiracy
to help Tilden. Their efforts in
this way have both delayed and quail
flied the expression of this class Of
public opinion, which is now taking
the form of a memorial to Congress
that. though not so explicit as it
should he in demanding the agree
ment Of both Houses of Congress
in place Of the snap Judgment of
the President Of the Senate, still in
dicates pretty clearly. that the one,
and not the other, is the only pro-
cess that will he acceptable to the
honest independent mind of the
country, as II certainly is the only
one that can bring political peace
and restore business confidence.
The difficulty Of the case is, that il
Is one-sided question. 1t cannot

that will be recognized by the
country as bearing authority with
but eiecting Gov. Tilden and the

ans, who see this fact, sharply

Death Of Commodore Wander
hill.

4 dispatch from New York, IN
der date of Ian 4,h, says:
Commodore Yanderhil' died t5's
morning at nine minutes TO eleven
o'clock. a. his residence in Wash
ington place. He remained perfect
" conscious to the last moment,
and died almost without a struggle.
Ever since Tuesday it has been APP
parent to his doctors that his hours
were numbered, and that at most
he could only live a few days or a
week. At four o'clock this morn
ing his condition became rapidly
worse and he expressed desire to
see Rev. DR.. Deems, his spiritna!
adviser. The latter arrived in a
few minutes and Commodore Van
derbilt said: IL think | am nearly
gone, doctor" DR.. Deems prayed
by the bedside of the dying man.
and then some members of the
family sang a few hymns in low
tones. The music seemed to sooth
the sufferer. All his family were
sent for during the night, and when
he died they were all by his bed
side. His eldest son, VIM II. Van
derbilt, arrived soon after midnight
and remained to the end. All his
daughters were present, and his
wife. who has been present Ivy his
bedside during the entire period
of his sickness, was at her post as
usual. Drs. Lindsey and Elliott
were also in attendance. They
warned both Commodore Wander
bilt and bis friends to expect the
worst. The news of his death
spread rapidly and very many
friends called at the house this
morning and sympathized with the
mourners. Cornelius Vanderbilt,
jr. arrived just before his father
died.

Accumulated Horrors.

The last hours Of 1876. says the
Saginaw Courier, will long he re-
collected for n wonderful accumu-
lation of horrors by sea and land.
That which hefel a train on the
Lake Shore road, the CHASTITY de-
tails of which have filled the col
umns of the papers, is the most
dreadful. A large train, n binding
storm. broken bridge, a fall of
seventy-fve feet, an almost mae
cessihle location and a fire which
consumed every car, are conditions
which combine to form a tragedy
Of appalling magnitude and terror
Of the two hundred passengers on
the train. fifty-four are known to
have persisted, while the list of mis-
sing and wounded is very large.
Numbers who survived the terri
bile plunge of the train into the
awful abyss were either frozen or
were burned to death before they
could he extricated. In fact fire
is attributed as the chief agency in
this holocaust, q fact that should
arrest the attention Of the public
and suggest TO railway magnates
some method to render fire in such
accidents absolutely impossible.
Various theories are advanced as
to the cause Of the disaster. 1t is
held that the iron of the bridge
was exhausted, and that the
structure gave way under this
strain simply because the limit Of
its resistance had been reached.
It is also held that the intense cold
had so affected the iron as to de-
stroy the cohesion of its particles.
Whatever the cause, il is certain
that no effort will be spared to ar
rive at some positive knowledge
thereof, and undoubtedly prompt
measures will he taken by railway
authorities to prevent a repetition
OF the calamity. Should thev fail
to do this, legislation should be in
voked.
The other disaster, although
trivial in comparison with that
above recorded, was that of the
British iron ship Circassian, Capt.
Williams, which went ashore on the
Long Island coast, two miles from
Bridgehampton, on the 18th ult.,
while on her passage from London
to New York, having on board
eleven of the crew of an abandon
ed vessel, the Heath Park, of Dun
dee, Scotland, bound from Amboy
for Liverpool. After some hours
both ship wrecked crews were
safely landed and not a life lost.
They were brought to New York
and sent to various hospitals. The
crew in all comprised twenty-three
souls, and were subsequently, sent
back by the British consul to Eng
and. On the day after the wreck
