The consequences of the intervention
into which President Grant was drawn
more than two years ago in Louisiana
were so disastrous to the fortunes of his
party and to his own reputation, that it
is difficult to understand what could
again have tempted him TO such perllous
expedients. There would be no Difficult.

Presidential contest depended in any
way upon the character or conduct of the
South Carolina Legislature. But the
troops which were placed under Cover
nor Chamberlain's orders tO control the
organization of the Legislature IN no way
contributed to make the return Of Mr..
Hayes more probable. The Intervention
seems to have been sheer display OF
party spirit, if it we're not intended to
provoke an outbreak OfSouthern feeling

Of the North. Why were the troops
used to enforce Mr.. Chamberlain's view

ought to have been organizedP This was
surely subject Of civil concernment,

A MAN RISES FROM THE DEAD.


The village of Monroeville, Ohio, is all
aflame with sensation, the dimensions
of which are in an inverse ratio to the
size of the town, On Friday last a young
man named Charles Hueston was attack
ed with a disease supposed to be Conges-
ton of the lungs. After remaining in an
unconscious condition for above two
hours, the attending physician examined
him and pronounced him dead In the
meantime his relatives, living at Forest,
Ohio, had been apprised by telegraph of
his illness, but they arrived at Monroe
vile too late to see the loved one alive.
They were much affected at his sudden
DEATH and the grief of his sister, whose
age was near his own, was distressing to
see The remains were placed on board
the afternoon passenger train on the
Pittsburgh Fortwayne and Chicago hail
way, to he taken to Forest, Ohio, for in
terment. The grief striken parents and
sister accompanied the remains. The
latter refused to 90 into the passenger
Coatch, but remained in the express car,
to be close to the body of him he loved.
1t was nearly an hour before the train
arrived at Forest, when loud, unearthly
shrek was heard, and in second the
Young girl was PROSTATE upon the floor
in swoon. Several persons fastened to
her rescue, when they, too were nearly
paralyzed by the discovery of the cause
of her singular condition. The supposed
corpse of Charles Hueston was living,
moving and breathing. The head was
thrust above the coffin and the face, with
its deathly pallor, presented weird and
ghastly spectacle. The young man was
evidently amazed at his surrounding, and
the first returning CLEANS of conscious
ness found him in position of bewilder-
ment Houston was taken from the cof-
fin, restoratives applied under the direc
ton of physicians who were on the train,
and when he reached Forest was remov-
ed to his fathers residence. On Tues
day he was alive, and although very i'll
he was improving somewhat, and hope
was entertained that he completely re-
cover. The saddest feature in the case
is yet to tell. The young lady has not
had one moment of consciousness since,
the wild shrek which she gave in the car
at the dreadful spectacle which met her
eyes. 1t is feared, indeed, that her rea-
son is permanently dethroned by the
shock.-FOr Wayne Gazette.

The New York Herald has been exap-
lining the precedents in regard to the
count of the electoral voIe. 1t appears
that as early as 1878, when Washington
was Unanimously elected, the House or
dered commi tee to join similar one
from the Senate ito ascertain and report
a method Of examining the votes for
President and Vice President" thus
plainly asserting the right Of Congress to
scrutinize tie vote. The Herald con-
cIudes from its Examination that "the
two Houses have never surrendered
their right to examine the electoral vote,
and that the President of the Sena'e has
never exercised or claimed the power to
determine the validity of States vote"
"In no case has the vote Of State been
counted where either house has object
ed" This comedies with the view we
have previously expressed.

DEATH OF COMMODORE KANDER-
BILT. MIh. oH


The plucky old Commodore died athis
residence in New York, Thursday morn
ing, 4th inst. u.f
Cornelius Vanderbilt, known az "Com-
modore," from his old connection with
the mercantile steam navy, was born
May 81, 1894, and was consequently, at
the time of his death, in his eighty'third
year. His father was farmer on Staten
Island, who owned large sail boat that
used to carry passengers and produce to
New York city. The future "Commo-
dore" took frequent trips in this boat as
assistant ferryman, and in this way be-
gan his connection with the transporta-
ton business.
At sixteen years old Cornelius purcha-
sed sailing boat and went into the busi-
ness as his father, and three years after
wards owned the largest boat of the de-
scripton in New York harbor, besides
having interest in other boats. AT %
years old he had amassed capital Of
$4,000, and was captain of steamboat =
For many years he was commander Of
steam vessels belonging to other parties,
but finally tired of this, and commanded
steamers of his own, building and run
ming the finest steamboats, on the Hud'
son river
The discovery of gold in California
caused a rush of fortune seekers to the
Pacific coast, and Vanderbilt saw his OPP
portunity. The overland route was long,
tedious and dangerous; the Panama line
oil steamers was overCrowded. He sold
out his river boats and established an
opposition line of steamships by the Mic
araguan route, carrying immense nrm-
bers of passengers and reaping ricn
harvest. With some of the fortune made
by these enterprises he built an elegant
ocean steamer, the North Star, which he
used as pleasure yacht for himself and
family in making the tour of Europe,
In 1868 he established line of steam
ers between New York and Havre, but
on the breaking out of he war this was
given up. 1862 he built and presented
to the United States Government the
steamer Vanderbilt, fully equipped for
service, and costing $S00,00O.
Previous to that time he had been in
terested largely in railroads, especially
the New York Central and its connec-
tions with New York city. With the
close of his steamboat enterprise he de-
voted his attention more directly to rail-
roads, and in short time became one of
the most powerful of the railroad kings,
the New York Central and its vast rami-
fications owning his undivided sway, So
great was his power over these lines that
the slightest variation in his health affect
ed the shares of all the Vanderbilt
lines" as directly as variation in the
weather affects the mercury in the ba-
rometer. ,...
