solution in new directions. From 81. Peters

II is always to be remembered that
the peace party In each country may
base their hopes and expectations upon a
falidclous estimate Of the moderation of
then opponents Thus the peace party Of
Russia may imagine that the fall Of KarA and
Pleyna may warrant demands which rather
than concedc the Turk would fight to the

When the trainers OF the State Constitu-
tion drew up that clause prohibiting cruel and
unnatural punishments. they evidently did not
take into consideration the talking capacity Of
NOAH DAVIS. 1t is enough for a convicted
criminal to have to stand up in presence of
n throngcd court room. and hear a sentence
which consigns him to degradation and servi-
tude. without also having to endure n long and
torturing recital Of the circumstances Of the
offence of which he has been guilty. II the con-
Wet Ia n man OF intelligence. admontion and
explanation are needless II he is not. they are
thrown away. II he be- n person Of more than
common sensibitv. the effect Of having TO stand
up and listen to one of NOAH DAvIs's long
winded harangues under such circumstances
must be more agonzing than physical torture.
And the delight which DAVIS seems TO take in 1t
reminds one Of cat holding its paw above a
captured rat and gloating over its quivering.

THE HOUSE OF VANDERBILT.

When but a few months ago death
laid its heavy hand upon Cornelius
Vanderbilt and put an eternity of years
between him and the hundred millions
he had in his life time accumulated, the
great business world that he had so re-
uctantly Quilted, little dreamed of the
startling disclosures of immortality,
hypocricy, heartlessness and infamv,
that were so soon to overshadow his
name and fame. Indeed the forbidding
and unwholesome family picture, now
being drawn in the court room in New
York city, is ightened in the intensity
of its revolving hideousness by the mel
ancholv reflection that its limners are
Commodore anderbilt's own imme-
diate flesh and blood and sharing with
him the dishonor of the scandals now
being heaped upon a family name here
tofore honored and respected 1t is
trulv foul bird that defles the nest in
which it was hatched Yet the demon
of avarice and cupility seem to have so
fastened upon the souls of his children,
as to have obliterated every trace of
sensibility or atiectionate remembrance
Of the dead. Commodore Vanderbilt
died worth one hundred millions of
dollars. Ten children, eight daugh-
ters and two sons survived him. I'M
pressed with the aristocratic notion of
perpetuating his fortune in his own
name, he devised to his eldest son, Will
liam ii Vanderbilt, ninetv-Gve millions
Of his wealth and practically disinher-
tied the remainder of his children. Not
that the incomes of their inheritances
were insufficient for their support in
luxury and elegance But the immense
Inheritance of one excited the avarice
Of the others. Suits were instituted to
contest the will upon the apparently
inconsistent ground, that the man who
had the intellect and ability to accumu-
late such a colossal fortune had not
mind enough to dispose of it. To ac-
complish this end, such public exhibit

THE vote in executive session of the
Senate on the confirmation of Mr. John
l.. Stephens, of Maine, to succeed Mr..
G. c. Andrews, of Minnesota, as Minis
ter Resident at Stockholm, gave an in
structive insight into the policy of the
Democrats with reference to the treat
ment of Executive nominations on
which Republicans are divided. Six
Republicans are said to have voted
against the confirmation of Mr. Steph-
ems, or rather against the removal of
Mr. Andrews, on the ground that the
latter is perfectly reputable officer,
against whom no charges could be pre-
ferred. Had the Democrats, instead of
voting solidly for the Presidents choice
voted the other way, the nomination
would have been rejected As the pre-
cedent set in this case is likely to be
followed in others, it will obviously re-
quire united Republican vote to defeat
anv of the Presidents nominations, and
that fact will certainly have the effect of
making Republican Senators exceeding
lv desirous to reach some understand
ing as to the principles on which FEEDER
al patronage is to be exercised by the
Executive We trust it will not have
the additional effect of making the Pres
ident desirous to retain Democratic sup
port by unguarded concessions in regard
to the character of his appointments to
Federal offices in the South
