Hangs His Head ia Shame.

To the Editor of THE REPUBLICAN:
| am an American citizen, and, while |
am proud to boast it, frequently made 10
hang my head in shame for some of the numerous
damphools, who can make the same boast.
There were two specimens of the d. f. genus on one
of the east-gOing Herdics one evening this week,
and they both hold commissions in the United
States navy. There were several citizens" in the
same coach, and before going two squares every
body knew who the d. f's were, that they were
educated - at the Government expense, and all
about them. They talked in loud tones about
cruises" vessels going into commission" the
inspector of ordnance at the Brooklyn yawd"
Commander Blank and Commander So-and-so,
adj iHfRitum. Their conversation would have been
proper enough had they talked to themselves: but
they talked at" the rest of US. The only time
they depressed from subjects naval and nautical
was while passing the Signal Office, when one of
them remarked what everlasting kickerS the gen.
tleInen of the Signal Corps against discipline
TO which the other assented. Passing down the
Avenue, near Ninth street one of them recognized
the steward of some vessel on the sidewalk called
the others attention and remarked" Some of those
stewards and officers clerks put on as much style
as anybody else, and occasionally you will
common sailor pTOmenading up through the West
End, putting on all the airs imaginable and look

tuOus in the stewards officers clerks and common
sailors! How the navy must have degcnerated!
The d. f.s were young and not fully matuTed, and
may not have arrived at years of discretion but at
present they are not very promising material out
of which TO make DecaturS and Farraguts. They
alighted near the Baltimore and Ohio ddJpOe and
gave us their room, which was preferable to their
company. A miles ride with anything of this sort
makes one feel almost as good as large dose of
ipecac would. ]. L. X.

CONTESTED WILLS
Two Gases to &c EnvestTsafed ga IEe Pro-
bate Court.

4 c;veat was flied in the Probate Court
yesterday by Edward q. Elliott, Of Kansas, nephew
OF the late Jared J. Elliott; contesting the will of
the latter on the ground that it IS not his will al
legng that the viii was dated the day before his
death, and that it was procured by II. Clay Stew
aEt. the principal legatee, by undue influences.
The estate Is said TO be worth $4,000.
a caveat was also filed by st. Aloysus Church
and the directors Of G0nzaga College against the
alleged last viii Of William J. Ford, who died in
1860. Shortly after FOrds death a will was filed
and admitted to probate, by which St. AloySius
Church and the college were benefited. On
The Sth of April last a paper purporting
10 be a later will, which was found
among the effects Of the late J. 7. K. Plant, was
fled, which provided that d debt of $1,000, owed
10 Robert J. Douglass and Thomas Juniper, should
be paid out of the estate. There were also other
conditions prescribed, such rs requiring his widow
% remain unmarried and his niece to pay a yearly
ground rent for property she enjoyed, which, if
The Will accepted, would disinhert these lega-
tees. The contents of the wills have already been
published at length in The REPUBLICAN, The
cayeat alleges that Ford at the time this new
found viii is alleged to have been executed was
not of sound mind that the witnesses did not
sign their names at Fords request, and that the
mark was not Ford's, but was obtained by
fraud.

JAY GOULD TEsTIFIES,
How the Great TeIegraphIc COmpanie,
Were Manipulated.

Inthe suit against the Western Union
Telegraph Company Jay Gonld testified i'll
New York as follows: 1 am one of the orig
inal promoters of the American Union Com
pany; don't remember furnishing Mr.. Bates
or Tinker with my check for them to pay
in their money for capital stock they purchased.
l myself paid in my check for five or ten millions
don't remember which. 1 got back the whole of
that amount shortly after, sold my stock to the
Central Construction Company. l did not solicit
subscriptions from any one to help build the
American Union. In January, 1881, l owned about
10000 shares of American Union stock. signed a
consent TO the sale of the American Union. did
not own over 10000 shares OF American Union
stock. / did not initiate proceedings for the con-
soldation. Mr.. Vanderbilt proposed it. 1 re-
ceIved note from him Sunday, January g.; it
reads as follows:
DEAR SIR: would like 10 see you for a few mo-
ments, If convenient, at my house at nine o'clock.
Yours truly, w. H. VANDERBILT.
Continuing he said called on Mr. Vanderbilt at
nine o'clock on that Sunday evening
Jay Gould, continuing, testified as follows: "Itold
Mr.. Vanderbilt would notify our people of his
proposition, and 1 informed General Eckert, Mr..
AmeS, Mr.. Dillon, and Mr.. Sage, and they attended
meeting on the following Tuesday evening. No
agreement was made at that meeting. held about
Union had been gradually extending its lines,
having some seventy thousand miles of
wire and about eight hundred offices.
l considered the company would earn six
per cent. on q valuation of SIS, 10000. General
Eckert opposed the sale. On February 1
owned, and own now, 10000 shares of Western
Union. l do not believe the American Union Line
could be reproduced, as it is only by power of
ownership that you can take railroads from the
Western Union, as il can give them greater facil-
tiles for reaching every point by telegraph. The
American Union was built by myself and others,
including Messrs. Sage, Dillon, Ames, Gar
rett, and Humphreys, who controlled a
large extent of roads" Cross examined ::
a told Mr. Vanderbilt at the first meeting
could not control American Union, as l would
have TO consult the directors and stockholders. 1
believe the consolidation was the salvation of the
American Union. I controlled ffty-two thousand
miles of railroads east and west of st: Louis which
l was getting ready to take away from the Western
Union and embrace it in the system of the Ameri
can Union"
