Horace GreeIey's Investment.

The unsavory and long-drawn-out
contest over the Vanderbilt will has at
last been compromised, and apparently
to the satisfaction of all concerned. Why
such sensible result was not arrived at
before the hideous details of the scandal
were spread broadcast over the land, is
mystery. All the suits in esse and
posse are now " off," 1t is stated that
the compromise was strongly urged by
Judge Rapallo, to whom was submitted
some of the evidence which Mrs. La
Bau, the Commodore's daughter, and
Cornelius j., his son, were prepared to
submit in the event of a further contest
of their claims. Be this as it may, the
chief feature of the arrangement is that
Cornelius j., is to receive 81, 900, 900 and
his expenses in the suit in the Supreme
Court, and Mrs. La Bau, now Mrs. Ber-
ger, a like amount and costs; and the
will of the late Commodore Vanderbilt
is to remain uncoptested. Out of the
round million accredited to Cornelius,
his debts, to an amount not exceeding
$500 600, were to be paid, and the Gree
ley estate first of all also, there was to
be deducted the 100000 left him by his
father, or rather, the income of that
sum. To this $500, 900 VIM. HI. pays his
brother another S5OO,OOO, and guarantees
on it 4 per cent. interest until it shall be
invested for him. 1t is insisted as a
preliminary to any settlement that his
brothers. debt should first be paid, and
this was done. The Tribune gives de-
tailed account of the various lendings of
Horace Greeley to Cornelius, which COM
menced when he was very young
man, and were made out of sympathy
for him. Down to 1864 he had loaned
him various amounts, aggregating about
$47, 900. Then Cornelius was adjudged
bankrupt, which legally, wiped out
the debt. In 1865, however, Cornelius
sent Mr.. Greeley two notes, at per
cent. interest, to secure him for moneys
advanced. Cornelius claims to have re-

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON, d., o., April Q, 1879.
What the House has done since re-assembling
on March 18th is to pass the Army appropria-
tion bill in substantially the same shape 1t
went through the previous House. What the
Senate has done is to pass bill authorizing
contract with some one to disinfect ships coming
into our ports from places where the yellow
fever or other infectious diseases prevail. The
House has now commenced consideration of the
Legislative appropriation bill, and will doubt
less pass 1t in about the same form as before.
There will be long discussion, however, on the
clauses abridging the power OF Federal super
visors, and perhaps on that which repeals the
test oath law. The Senate, also, will debate
these things at greater length after passing
the Army bill. In short, even If we do not
have " general legislation" there Is every rea-
son to believe the session will last till june
Mr.. Randall will appoint his Committees this
week, and that, with other indications, points
to the transaction of other business than that
embraced in and attached to the two appropri-
alton bills.
There was very interesting debate in the
Senate yesterday over the senatorship from
New Hampshire. The time of Senator Wad-
leigh expired on March 4th last, and the Gov
ernor appointed Mr.. Bell Senator from the
State. The lawyers Of the Senate are divided,
without regard to party lines, or the question
whether or not there is such a ''vacancy" as is
contemplated by the Constitution in giving to
the Governor of State the power to appoint
Senators. Mr.. Carpenter, Republican, holds
that no such vacancy exists, and Mr.. Bayard

A Caution TO Farmers.


An agent left plough at farmers
in an adjoining county, with verbal
consent to use it. He also left printed
advertisement of its merits. The farmer
looking over it, found notice in due
form, stating that where trial is made
of the plough, the agent must be notified
within two days and given chance to
regulate the workings of it. Many
farmers will never see this notice, but
will take the advertisement heedlessly
and then, through failure to notify in
two days, will be compelled to keep the
plough inasmuch as the agent can be
qualified the farmer was duly notified
and the farmer cannot deny receiving
it. Farmers, don't have anything to do
with these "Moonshiners," whose
only object is to make dupes of unwary
farmers, and above all things don U sign
your name to any paper. If you need
any kind of an agricultural implement,
patronize dealers at home whom you
are thoroughly acquainted with.

and Mr. Groome, the latter the very clear
headed new Democratic Senator from Mary
land, to the opposite side. Curlously enough
the question has never been before the Senate.
Speaker Randall is said to have found more
difficulty In filling the District of Columbia
Committee than any other. The truth Is that
every citizen OF Washington thinks IL his
duty to visit and advise the members of the
Committee, and the prosecuted Committeeman
find time to do nothing else but listen. This Is
partly, no doubt, because this community, un-
like any other Ia the country, has no local gov
ernment of It's own selectlon-no Legislature
or Board of Aldermen or Councimen There
is nothing to stand between the House Com
mittee and the 10000 citizens.
The President continues to receive deserved
commendaton for his selection Of President
White, of Cornell, as Minister TO Germany
The fact is just made known that In Deeem-
ber last the place was offered to Nj. whitelaw
Reid, of the New York Tribune.
There Is to be Senate Investigation of the
affairs of the Freedmen's Sayings Bank, which
collapsed In 1878, causing loss Of millions to
colored people in the South. Senator Bruce
will be Chairman of the Committee, with
Messrs. Cameron, of Wisconsin, Gordon,
Withers and Garland. fnd that there is a
general belief throughout the country that Gen
eral o. o. Howard and Frederick Douglass
were in large degree responsible for the ruin
of the bank. 1t is not true. Gen. Howard
had no active connection with the institution,
and Mr.. Douglass accepted the Presidency of
IL only after its ruin was accomplished His
course was in the highest degree credltable to
him. OLIVE.

ceived from Mr.. Greeley in reply letter
saying that he &C.. ]. w did not owe
him (Mr. G.) anything, but adding that
he would retain the notes for his chill
dren. Subsequently Cornelius drew on
Mr.. Greeley for sums amounting to
near $4,000, which was outlawed long
ago. The whole amount owed Greeley,
with interest, and minus some offsets,
was found to reach $01, ,1S7, all Of which
has been paid to Mr.. Greeley's two
daughters, and their receipt therefor
published as follows, signed by Ida and
Gabrielle: "The money loaned by our
father, Horace Greeley, to Mr.. q. j.
Vanderbilt, amounting In all, principal
and interest, to over $6l 900, much of
which has been outlawed, has been paid
in full by Mr.. G. j. Vanderbilt, thereby
fully justifying the faith our father
placed in him." Thus ends case which
deserves to rank among the causes ceLe-
bres of the times. We doubt whether
Horace Greeley ever made better in
vestment, and his daughters, after the
lapse of so long time, have great rea-
sons to congratulate themselves on the
turn matters have taken.

A Tornado In Missouri.

ST.. LOUIS, April 9.-Information was
received late tonight that a tornado
passed over portion of st. Louis county
this afternoon. 1t first appeared at
Howell's Ferry, OH the Missouri river,
and travelled due east to Hermansburg,
about ten miles from here, where its
force seemed to have been nearly ex-
pended. Some half dozen houses were
damaged Out houses were blown
down, chimneys carried away, and
fences, trees and other property scattered
about, but SO far as known no lives were
lost and nobody was injured. The track
of the storm was eighteen miles long
and half a mile wide. Not much rain
fell, but good deal of very large hail.
A very heavy rain fell here this after
noon, accompanied by high wind.

MysteriousIy MISSING.

On Tuesday of last week, John Wag-
ner, well-to-do farmer, residing in
West Mannheim township, York county,
left home for York to attend to some
business. He arrived there safely, at
tended to his business, and repaired to
the railroad depot and purchased a
ticket for Hanover Junction. but has
not been heard from nor seen since.
There are strong surmises that he has
been put out of the way by some one, as
he had some money with him. Suspi-
cion rests strongly against a party,
whose name we omit at present. Quite
a search is being made for the missing
man and no doubt in a few days the
facts will be made public.-Glem Rock

THE issue of government bonds in de-
nominations of ten dollars affords fa-
vorable opportunity for economical peo-
pie to invest small earnings. 1t is true
that the interest is only four per cent.
but the security is much stronger than
most investments that bear higher rates.
Those who have hid their money away
in stockings in distrust of savings banks
can buy these ten dollar certificates
which can be kept as security as well as
greenbacks or gold, besides bearing in
terest. When it may become neces-
sary to spend them the interest that has
accrued will be paid. There is reason to
believe that those who desire to invest
small savings from time to time will
avail themselves of these bonds. The
investment in them will tend to encour-
age habits of economy besides diminish
ing the prejudice against the bloated
bondholders when all have an opportu-
nifty to invest in bonds of the govern
ment.
