Chief Marshal of the day; and an elo-
quent address was delivered by Hon.
Warren Cowan.

stead of mourning over a probable Dem
ocratic House, they might be much bet

1876 7, shall be impossible by any party.

lengthy argument between counsel n the
Vanderbilt will case to day as to the adj
missihiiity OF the testimony of Mrs. Flea
nor Fletcher Bishop, tending to prove
that the late Commodore was a firm be-
lever in Spiritualism. The surrogate
rendered long decision on the point, de-
claring the evidence admissible. The de-
cision is regarded as strong point in fa-
Yor of the contestants. who say they have
dozens of witnesses to prove the Commo-
dore's belief in Spiritualism. aud the coun-
sci will argue that the win was made un-
der undue influences. Adjourned to
Tuesday.
