Commander Gorringe, whose death occurred
yesterday, was man of original and fertile
mind, and courageous and resOlute of purpose.
He sprang into fame by his success In bringing
the Egyptian obelisk to New York, and from
that exploit down TO his last illness he lived
much in the public eye. OF his many projects,
that Of establishing large ship building yard
WIS the most ambitious, but it proved to be ill
considered, and its want Of success probably
FASTENED his death

Gov. Hoadly has consented to run again for
governor in Ohio, and has already begun the
preliminary work Of the campaign. Mr.. For
aker has also entered on the canvass with
energy, and speaks hopefully of the prospects.
He has an uphill task, however. Mr.. Hoadly
has already beaten him once, and the same
causes which led to that result still exist. A
great deal depends this year on the mood Of the
colored vote. On account Of his antf-slavery
record, Gov. Hoadly is very popular among this
element, while Mr.. Foraker has incurred its
hostility by his course as a lawyer In matters
Affecting Its social standing. In such q close
state as Ohio, q change of ten or fifteen thou
sand votes would probably tip the balance
either way.
The stake at issue is really much larger than
the election of the state ticket. legislature is
also TO be chosen, which will elect the successor
Of Senator Sherman. II Gov. Hoadly wins the
day for the state ticket 1t is probable that he
will also bring in de ocratic majority in the
legislature. If so, he is booked for the Senate
himself. Hence, the contest has a national sig
nificance, and for that reason will excite gen.
erAl attention.

The New York Worlds contribution fund for
the Liberty pedestal was not closed, by reach
ing the 500, 600 point on the 4th of July, as 1t
should have been, but the end cannot be very
far of. Saturday closed with $50, S93. 10 re-
ceived, and public interest in the subject still
existing, so 1t is safe to assume that the re-
mainder will soon be made up. The World de-
serves great credit for its successful efforts in
the matter. But for its action there is no tell
Ing when or how the required amount would
have been raised, as fhe rich people of New
York, who could easily have contributed all
the money needed without feeling it, were sim
gnlariy apathetie ON the subject. Their indiffer-
ence was indeed as remarkable as it was dis
creditable.

There has been some vague talk of opposition
t. the return of Mr.. Edmunds to the Senate,
but his reelection seems to be practically as
sured- The gentlemen who have been named
as possible rivals one ana all refuse to take the
field against him. The Senator's course during
the presidential campaign, while not pleasing
to the party managers, was really not very
offensive To Vermont republicans. and has not
dimmed his popularity very much in that
state. His devotion to the principles OF the re-
publican party have never been questioned
and those principles have no ADLER champion,
One Of two things ought to happen. Either
Higgins should go, or the papers should let up
on Higgins. There is getting to be a little too
much of Higgins. He isn't national ISSUE

The revelations which London newspaper
Is making OF the social immortality OF that
great center Of life are, doubtless, entirely
within the truth. London Is probably the
wickedest city i'm the world certainly no other
city thrusts such abominable sights of drunken
ness and depravity on the wayfarer. Wicked
Paris looks if 1T was going to hell; wicked
London looks as if it had got there. But the
trouble with the disclosures alluded to, and
with all Others of the Sort is that they miss the
law of proportion. Individual cases are de-
scribed, and We are led to assume that they are
bet representative OF general practices. The
one villain or the special group of villains
make as forget the thousands upon thou sands
of ordinary decent people who make mp the
bulk of society. Naturally enough, these people
feel scandalized by publications that cast
stigma on society at large. At the same time,
there is no weapon so useful in attacking vice
Of all sorts as publicity.

Editor CoJar CHI onicie:

VERNON. TEXAS. Dec. s, 1885.
Editor cofar Chronicle:
Since my last communication our
county Wllbarger) has undergone
a great change. The Fort Worth
ami Denver railroad has been ex-
tended into it, and town of twelve
hundred inhabitants Harold has
sprung up at Its terminus. The
road has extended its telegraph
line to our town Vernon fifteen
miles in advance, where it will
probably "catch up" with it in the
spring. Settlers are coming in
rapidly, and it is quite evident that
we shall soon have a well settled
county. Vernon, the seat of JUS
tice, Is beginning to rear substan-
tial brick houses, and every one, in
town and country, seems Ousy and
hopeful Crops are very good this
year; the wheat yield being about
twenty-five bushels per acre; corn,
thirty; and oats, forty. Large crops
of sorghum and millet were also
raised. Game is plentiful but is
being ruthlessly slaughtered by
huntsmen. Wild turkeys are sold
in the markets at prices varying
from twenty-five to fifty cents each.
g l lately visited what is here
called the "Shinnery," in the west
ern part of our county-a high,
sand region, covered with a thick
growth of very diminutive oak
trees, varying in height from one
to three feet, and loaded with
acorns. The trees were evidently
old, and of different species of the
cak, as the varying sizes, shapes,
AMI favors of the acorns showed.
L do not know why it is called the
shinnery; perhaps because most of
the trees are about shin high. "a
10 the Democrats out this way
the news of Vice President Hem
bricks death came as shock all
the more SO as they thereby lose
the president of the Senate. The
Republicans will now doubtless fill
the office with one of their most
extreme partisans; probably Sen
ator Pinkston of Ohio. If they do
SO, and be inclined. to make the
office doubly acceptable to that
great and good man, they should
pass resolution that, during the
sessions of the Senate, he be allow
ed to wear his "bloody shirt and
a cap solemnized with sickle
feather from his friend Hayes old

CONGRESS- In SESSION.

Congress convened on last Mon
day, with full quorum OF both
houses. The Senate elected John
Sherman president pro tenn, and,
after passing resolutions regarding
the death of Mr.. Hendricks, adj
jomned out of respect to his mem
Dry. In the House j. G. Carlisle
was elected speaker, and an ad iourn-
ment was had out of respect to the
illustrions dead. On Tuesday the
Presidents message was sen. in,
and the day was spent in reading
it and disposing OF routine bust
hess. The message Is quite lengthy,
ten columns III the city
papers, and is considered one OF
.he most able and elaborate reviews
presented 10 Congress for years.

readers a synopsis of its leading

at two hundred millions of dollars,
which goes to his eight children,

years OF age. The Vanderbilt fam

Life of their father.
