her remain in our midst; but it. does
not appear that their wishes in this re-
spect will be grati6ed. II is. Of course,
probable that General Grant has, long
before this. settled upon his future re-
sidence, but where this will be is known
as yet only to few Of his most init
mate friends. The house he is now
building here on Vermont. Avenue will
not be ready for his occupancy for sew
eral months to come, and it is general
y believed that the President will send
his furniture and other chattels to st.
Louis. and reside with his family with
friends in Philadelphia till summer
when, rumor has it. he contemplates
making TRIP to the islands of Cuba
and San Domingo. It was rumored
and extensively telegraphed that Cen
sral Grant had been offered and accept
ed the Presidency of the Tehuantepec
Inter- Oceanic Canal Company; bu,
upon enquiry the rumor proves to be
without foundation.
The opinion is gaining ground here,
that the Democratic majority in Con-
gress will, by ''filioustering." prevent
the completion-of the count before the
fourth OF March, in which event there
will have been no election, an Senator
Ferry of Michigan will. by virtue of his
office as presiding officer of the Senate,
become President of the United States.
ad interim. In that case, it will de-
volve upon the Secretary of state to de-
clare that no election was had. and or
der q new election next November.
From March 4 till November Z. 1877,
Mr.. Ferry would remain President. and
the Senate would elect the Vice Presi-
dent. Should the Democrats choose to
adopt this course, there is nothing to
prevent them from carrying it into exc
cution; and If the decision of the Elec-
toral Commission in the Louisiana Case
should be unfavorable to their side, ii
is highly probable. as learn from good
authority. that that will be their pro-
gramme. VIAToR.

The Old commodore's viii.

A great man never dies in goodly
circumstances, but terrible row is
made over his gold before he is
fairly laid in the ground. Should
he die comparatively poor--as did
Henry Clay and Daniel Webster,
who were not Credit Mobilier states
men-his relatives content them
selves with their consanguinity; but
if he leaves a goodly heritage of
coin or greenbacks, then scene of
domestic pickering commences fol-
lowed by legal steps to prove the
testatOr's insanity at the time the
will was executed.
1t would seem as if the will Of
Cornelius Vanderbilt, man of re-
markable tenacity both of intellect
and bodily vigor, is to be attacked
in this way because he left the lions
share to his son William, to whose
prudence and caution he was on
more than one occasion indebted for
his largest gains. The contest comes
from the daughters and their hus-
bands. The eldest married Daniel
B. Allen the second James NJ Cross;
the third, Daniel Torrance; the
fourth, George A. Osgood. the turf
man and yacht racer; the fifth was
partially insane and unmarried; the
sixth married Horace F. Clark, and
since died; the seventh, Mons La
-ftte; the youngest married Nathan
B. Labau. When the Commodore
married his second wife Miss
Crawford, of Mobile) some of these
young ladies were bitterly opposed
to it and one of them circulated in
famous stories about her step
mother, alleging that the marriage
was a compromise to avoid shoot
ing scrape. The birth of the Com
modore's first child by his second
wife gave the lie to that. business.
however.
The idea that the old mans mind
was out of order at the time of his
executing his will, or at any time
more than ten days before his death,
is not to be entertained by anybody
who knew that erect figure and
piercing gray eye. He was man
who would have lived a hundred
years had his business operations
been ON less gigantic scale. As it
was, the labor of the mind wore out
a herculean body. Temperate liv
ing alone had kept the brain cool
when the wiry frame began to droop
and the sinewy limbs to atrophize.
No sane man who knew the old
Commodore during his lifetime,
will credit this story of his insanity.
He belonged to race of men who
are fast passing away, men who
never jeopardize health in the pur-
suit of pleasure. 1t won't do to tell
us he was crazy--too thin, my lords.
The Portland Standard says that
the papers with patent outsides"
are refreshing their readers with the
Vicar of Wakefield" We know a
paper that don't use patent out
sides" and which palmed off the
principal portion of Victor Hugo's
work on the sewers of Paris from
sthe 9th Book of Les Mtsera5les, as
Original.

Leroy Norton, who has been confined
in the Falmouth Jail In Pendleton Coun-
ty, KY, on the charge Of numbering Mar
tin Brand some two months since, made
his escape last night. Abouttwo weeks
since his cell door was found to have
been filed of its hinges, and he was
placed in another cell, and strict watch
has been kept on him ever since; but it
seems the jailer did not scrutinize his
visitors very closely, as he could not
have made his escape without the aid OF
tools. The jailer took the usual morn-
ing food into the Jail this morning, aud
when he came to Norton's cell he dis
covered the door open and his bird flown,
and a skeleton wire key was sticking in
the lock. After getting out of mis- cell
be took the iron grating out OF the wiz
dow, which gave him free access to the
Jail ard. The escape Of this man has
caused considerable excitement in the
little village, and the citiz.ns are scour-
Ing the country for him.
