New York, Jan. 16, '76,

Editor CHRONICLE
The world usually takes upon
itself the duty Of criticizing the
actions and requests of departed
greatness, and its course respect
ing the dead Commodore forms no
exception to this rule. Mr.. Van
derbilt, true to his instructive love
for the requisition and retention Of
power, followed the English law Of
primogeniture in his will, far
enough to leave at least fve-sixths
of his property to his oldest son.
VIM. H. Vanderbilt, and the lat
tors family. The remaining frac-
lion Is distributed smong his other
relatives aid friends ranging from
about half q million down, his
widow receiving only about the
latter sum, and now thousands and
thousands of people who have no
knowledge of the circumstances
governing the testator's action, and
no business with it, anyway, rise
up and soundly berate the old gen.
tleman for not disposing OF his
millions according to their own
superior sagacity and fairness. It
is true that some of the minor
requests and annuities seem very
small, but in the case of his nu-
merous children, to whom he gives
100000 to half a million apiece,
and who are getting good deal
of public sympathy for their pow
erty, it would be interesting to
have somebody tell us how much
better off these people would be
with ten millions apiece. Enough's
as good as q feast, and all the COM
forts of life can be got with $780,
600 a. well as with any greater
sum.
VIM. II. Vanderbilt to-day is the
richest man in America, with pro-
perty estimated as high as from
sixty to seventy-fve millions, but
I really can't see how he can get
any more comfort out Of it--any
board, clothes, recreation and OPP
portunities to do goodman with
. hundredth part of that amount.
On the contrary he will only have
proportionately greater care, worry
and confinement to show for his
enormously greater wealth.

at the great age Of SO, was the
death on the following day Of

Another General Candy affair

How little noble sacrifices are

In hiS Friday evening talk sue
ceeding the death of the railroad
king, Mr.. Beecher considerably
astonished his hearers by saying
some pretty severe things about
the departed. which. are somewhat
interesting as showing this emil
nent divine's views on death bed
repentance. Rejerring.to the de-
scriptions of his last hours, of the
religious conversation, singing of
hymns, ETC., Mr.. Beecher remarked
that Mr.. Vanderbilt had never
been known as Q particularly reli-
gious man, nor as a very kind and
benevolent one, and said that it
would have been q good deal bet
ter for him. i. he..had done some'o
this hymn singing twenty or thirty
years ago, instead of reserving it
all for his dying bed.
And, aproposso Of Mr.. Beecher,
the regular annual auction sale OF
the pews in Plymouth church took
place on Tuesday evening last, the
total amount realized clearly show
ing the effect of hard times, being
only about $4,000, which is from
20 to so per cent. less than any
previous year for five years.

it was reported to have come off
on the 9th. no one has yet been
able to find out--any Of the!parti-
culars of the occurrence, or even
to know certainly that q hostile
meeting has taken place. The
most conflicting reports prevail
Mr.. May is wounded and Mr.. May
is not. Mr.. Bennett is hereiand
is lying concealed Ioutsidel 10. the
city, and has gone to Europe. and
is nobody knows. where.else beside.

ance. but refused to say ore-word
