resignation, and the contamination of 1t, in
deed makes sorry ending of life that
only n few months since had So bright q
promise. No man ever came to Wall Street
withso much encouragement. No man ever
had such confidence placed in him, or more

has, apparently, 90 abused such position.

NEW YORK, January 5.-Followlng is the
text Of the complimentary resolution to VII

Resolped, That the directors of the North
| ern Pacific, in accepting the resignation of
Henry Willard as President, desire to express
10 hin their deep sympathy In his severe ILL
ness their regret at the causes which have
led 70 his resignation; their appreciation Of
his geat energy in pushing our enterprise to
successful completion as q trunk line, and
theft sincere hope that he will soon be re-
stored to health and prosperity.
Rssolued, That in view Of the fact that Viii
lard during his Presidency voluntarily re-
eeivsd no salary whatever, the treasurer be
directed TO pay him at the rate of $4,000
year for the period he held that Office.
Willard has been President of the Com
PAM about two and half years. There is
the best authority for stating that Eudicott
toot TO New York from Boston $4,000, 900
with which to take up the floating debt Of
the Oregon Transcontinental. He has the
use Of this money for the purpose named
for one year, and it has been subscribed to

e. YANDERBILT's VIEWS.
New YORK, Jan. 5.-W. II. Vanderbilt, be-
ing asked, "What do you think of the pros
poets of the Northern Pacific ?" replied: at
was built prematurely. The country through
which it runs will not be in a condition to
maintain road like the Northern Pacific for
some yeas to come. 1t will be good prop
erty say ten years from now"
"Do you believe Wizards friends will rally
about him and help him to a new start ?"
"Bah ~ was the reply, "you don't find very
much of that kind of friendship now a.days.
Men will say she was a mighty nice fellow
or 'awfulsorry;;' all this doesn't cost any
thing. There are some men who won't keep
down; but these men are very few. Willard
Is rather too old for that kind of thing"
TALMAGE TURNS EN- OVER.
New YORK, Jan. 5.-Talmage spoke last
night on Willard. He said ain pushing the
great Northern Pacific railroad through, one
of the grandest enterprises of all time, he
has svamped everything. He has a great
heart; unbounded generosity, on which fed
leeches enough to suck out the life blood of
any fortune that was ever gathered. l saw
rs railroad train, in which he took, free of
'enarge, to the Yellowstone Park, a great
number of sham English lords and foreign
dudes, who denounced Willard because while
he provided them with every luxury they
could not each have a whole drawing. rooom
car to himself, and so were compelled to
breathe the same air with the "vulgar Amer
leans" do not suppose that ever since the
world stood did there go through this coun-
try as many nonenities, or so much gloried
mush as went up last summer free of all
charge on generous Wizards train. Most of
these people have gone home TO the other
side of the sea and are writing magazine
articles on the crudities of American society,
while Willard goes into bankruptcy. Per-
haps this was the last straw that broke the
camel's back."-
