Cornelius Vanderbilt and the
Greeley Family.

The New York Tribune publishes the fol-
lowing interesting facts concerning the loans
of money which Horace Greeley made during
his life to young Cornelius Vanderbilt:
MIR. Greeley began to lend money to Cor
nelius j. Vanderbilt when the latter was u
very young man. He did so ont Of sympathy
with him, because Mr.. Greeley believed that
the old Commodore was ncedlessly harsh to-
ward his youngest SON Mr.. Greeley NAV
have believed the numerous stories of the
Young mans bad habits if so, he did not he
heve that harsh treatment and cruel dcpriya-
ton of boy trained to think he had great
expectations was the right way to cure him
of evil courses. Mr. Greeley was a man
moved almost as much by sympathy as con
Ncton, and the case of young Vanderbilt cx-
cited his pity to such an extent that down to
1864 he had loaned him in various amounts
an aggregate of s4j.93i.
In the year named Cornelius J. Vanderbilt
was adjudicated a bankrupt, and being dir
charged a. such bankrupt. of course the debt
TO Mr. Greeley was practically cancelled in a
legal point of view. But Dec. l. 1865 Cor
nelius j. Vanderbilt sent Mr.. Greeley by mail

Tor the money advanced at various times. and
represented by many notes and drafts for va
rIous amounts, all of which were surrendered
by Mr.. Greeley in the bankruptcy proceed

The Okolona States newspaper is not to be

to the accusation of Representative Muldrow
last week, that the Okolona States does not
represent the respectable elements of the Mi
sissppi Democracy, in which it showed that it
did represent Mudrow, as it supported him..
and that its editor is not an Ohio carpet bag
ger. This editor is evidently Il man who can
take care of himself after the most approved
southern fashion, and Muldrow, upon learn
ing the nature of the letter that had been sub
mttcd to the House by FRYE, rose to say
that he intended no personal reflection upon
the editor of the Okolona States. but simply
wished to say that he was an extremist in
politics. Mr. Muldrow did not reterate the
charge that the editor Of the Okolona States
is an Ohio carpet Dagger From this passage
it is evident that the Okolona States must
be recognized as atype of Mississippi Democ

GARFIELD's SPEECH.

General Garfeld's great speech
las week placed before the country
the utterly untenable position of
the Democratic leaders in Congress.
The following condensation of his
remarks is from the Washington
correspondence of the New York
Times:
&C lrti-ld showed the revolutionary
character Of SUCH Il demand for the
surrender of Executive power to q
dominant party in Congress. He then
reviewed the theory ana methods of

however, and none Of those re-

that he voted for this measure to pre-

point, he followed IL up by declaring
that their position now was, that I'M

gins to flow in once more. From
its article we collate the following
facts:
In Ironton six iron works are
now running and doing business
fully commensurate with their sew
eral capacities. The parties en-
gagged in the trade claim that there
is an actual increase in the price
and a greater demand for all kinds
of iron, pig being worth a dollar
per ton more than it was in July,
Isis. In Portsmouth the same
condition of trade is present, and
every manufacturer is hopeful.
In Columbus there is a large in
crease in the consumption of iron.
The prices are low, but in keeping
with those of every other commodity:
Furnace companies are putting their
idle furnaces into operation; rolling
mills and FORCES which have been
closed for two or three years are
resuming work and some are runs
ming on double time.
In Gore there is marked liyeli-
ness in the trade and.purchasers are
found who will buy at an increase
of one and two dollars Oh
the ton. The increased demand
is legitimate and not for
speculative purposes. The heaviest
manufa cturer says: Furnace men
feel that there will be a steady in
crease of prices throughout the
year. Resumption has restored con-
fdence and barring the Confederate
Congress the prospect for the future
promises well"
In Youngstown, Bessamer pig
has advanced 81 to So per ton.
Forge pig is no better in price, but
more largely in demand. The same
fact is also found in the manufac-
tured iron and nail trade.
In Port Washington, feeling of
security exists, and anticipations of
future prosperity are expressed
with q great degree of confidence.
Unless something unusual happens
the future will be slow but reliable.
One important manifestation is, that
for some years past the poorer grades
were sought for, but now the best
grades in the market are il de-
mand.
In Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, the
iron trade IS better than it has been
for many years. While prices re-
main the same, more iron is wanted.
The nail trade Is not so live ly, be-
cause manufacturers are unwilling
to sell at present prices; however,
large shipments are made to the
South and West.
The places we have given above
are the centers of the largest man"
ufacturing regions in that part of
the country, and as we before stated,
the facts apply to the whole of the
United States wherever the business
is carried on. Taken all in all the
business prospects are brighter than
at any time since the great panic of
1878.
