The great Vanderbilt will scandal is at an end. In reply to the attacks made by Corne- lius Vanderbilt, and other heirs, it was shown that the old Commodore had made many suc- cessive wills, at various times, and that if his last testament were set aslde it would be SO much the worse for the contestants. Conse- qnently the chief counsel for the heirs an- nounced his practical withdrawal of their ob- jections On the whole, Vanderbilt has suffer- cd after death (here on earth) somewhat more severely than Stewart. While resurrectionists were making merchandise of the mere dead body of the one, great will. lawyers were mak- ing stiij more disgusting exposition of the reputation of ths other. sWhat with will-law- yers and resurreetionists, the earthly hereafter of fbe American who dies worth more than ten million dollars is anything but enyiable,

Stanley Matthews is very much commended for his able speech on the anti-Chinese bill. He is emphatically ''the senator that never had chance"
 It is pleasant to see Landers, Phelps, and Warner, uniting in support of the Presidents veto of the anti-Chinese bill. It is not often they all vote together on the right side.

Whatever may be said about his being soldier of fortune, he has generally managed to be on the side of reform, iiberality and just government He is not a faVOrite with politicians, but we do not see much force in the objections they usually bring against him.

The Bridgeport Farmer takes serious excep- tion to the tramp law. Our own objection is not 80 much to it's severity as to it's indscrimi- nateness. Take the fel How who prefers beggary to work, and who spends years in deliberate ly shirking all useful labor! This man is criminal who intends to appropriate the pro- duct of other peoples labor to his own use, therein differing but little from the actual thief. To this lower grade of criminality he usually adds continual petty thieving, and sometimes burglary, arson, or rape. Such tramps from choice perhaps deserve all the law gives them, In these hard times, however, there are, and must be, class of tramps from necessity. of kind that are not wiifully crim- inal, and whose punishment in the state pris- on would be gross injustice. We have no means of knowing how large portion of the whole number are of this kind. Probably but very small part. Still there are no doubt enough such to make the law read very queer ly in connection with certain passages in the New Testament relating to the treatment Of the poor -t-s.s ..- e"

The New Census bill takes the enumeration out of the hands of U. s. marshals and gives it to 150 census supervisors who can give the matter their whole attention. The Marshals, who had other duties to attend to, never gave the Census the care it needed. Then again, in some districts, a marshal would have the supervision of over two million names, while in Florida, perhaps, he would only have to supervise some 5000. Compensation, also, was absurdly dspropertioned under the old law The marshal who made the enumeration of ssme large Territory received no more pay than the one who had only small Eastern district. The delays in the enumeration in cities also lead to great uncertainties in regard to it's correctness. Now it is intended that only 4000 names shall be taken by any one person and the census of the largest cities is expect ed to be completed within fortnight's time. It is believed that the taking of the next cen- sus will be given in charge to Prof. Walker, of Yale, who also had charge of that of TO Work will not begin however for ayear or more, so that the Professor will have abundant time to in form himself regarding his new duties as Rail- road Commissioner.

The syntax Committee, as the Courant terms t,has greatly improved the wording of acts pas sed at the present session, thinks that paper. Some delays have already occurred, however, and more are probable. Still the work accom- plished will be worth all the trouble and delay the expressing of bills under the new plan may involve. It will save the courts a world of trouble to correct in advance the mere blun- ders of legislation.

A Few Corrections.

Sam'l Townsend, Esq, writes to cor
rect few errors which crept into his
communication in regard to peaches, pub
lished in Saturdays GAZETTE. 1t should
have mentioned the Cochrans, Beastens
and Shallcrosses as those who first plant
ed peach trees around Middletown, and
WIN. Bowman, of McDonough, instead
of N. Bowman. Also Simon Spearman,
of Eagles Nest, instead OF Simon Shear
man. Mr.. Townsend also wrote that
he crossed the first three cars over the
Delaware river, instead Of the Delaware
Railroad, as was published.

AYoung Man Missing.

James Taylor, young man of this
city, went West some time in the middle
of June, with three cars from Bowers,
Dure & Cos car works, for the Atchison,
Topeka d Santa Fe Railroad. He was
empowered to act as messenger for them
and had q written letter from the firm,
which would secure him q pass over the
road home, If he desired to return. He
had just served his time as coach body
maker with Gregg & Bowe, and be went
out as much to secure employment in
the West,. as employee Of Bowers,
Dure & Co. -.
He was accompanied on his trip by a
young man from Dupont's Banks, who
returned few days ago and tells cur
iOus story in regard TO young Taylor and
gave far from straight account. Rumor
has il that he said Taylor met with q
family in destitute circumstances in
indianapolis and gave them 500, all
the money he had about him, and then
bad TO 60 into cattle raising in order to
get money enough to come home upon.
A persOc answering young Taylor's
description passed through indianapolis
on Monday last and according to sche.
duel time, he should have reached here
on Thursday, but only his companion
arrived. - - = -- -
Some fears, are entertained that he
has been foully dealt with, and suspi
cion points TO the young man who &C
compan,ed him. The Superintendent,
Of the Topeka, Atchison and Santa Fl
road has been written to in regard TO the
matter. Mr. Tayler was q nephew o
james Bradford, Esq, Of this city.
