THE WEEK. In . political:mAtters there has been but . little change in the situation, but what lifts occurred' has been of a character to give the friends of right and justice, in creased confidence in the power of Con gress to enforce the will of the people, as regards pie p:esident - to be inaugurated next - March; as Welt ad good reason to be lieve that they will so use that power as, to give satisfaction to all who have the good be their country-at,heart. in south Carolina, the two Governors : are striving for, the control of 'the state' With varied•siieeess: The Haniptiiii gay eminent has the advantage in haxing the confidence 'of the better classes aud n bOng able to raise funds to carry on * 47- machinery of - government. The itar4en of Prisons refuses to. deliver over his..pepartment ,to Chamberlain, and a I good. proplrtion of the County Officers will deliver their books and papers to DeMocratic or Conservative successors. .4s we predicted last week, Crov, Drew wakpeacably , inaugurated at)Tallahasse last Tuesday, Gov. Stparns surrendering` the control of the state without any op. positiOn, and we can new look: upon Florida as redeemed from carpet-bag rule. Prom Louisiana, We learn by dispatches from New. Orleans in yesterday's papers that there was great excitement Monday, growiiig-nut of The inauguration of the twe 'Governer's, Packard,Reptiblican, and Nichols, Democrat ; but there wins no disturbance of the peace. ManY "stores were eioaed,and ordinary business was to certain extent suspended. There was a large display of flags •throughout the city. r *lthe State House was strongly fortified; `tire galler~bs were loop-hole 4 - ,i30 as fOOOT. mand the approaches on Royal, Chartres and ErAhange stTeets., The bniliiing was crowded- With ifetropOlilati -- Police and • .• • Dutyi United Statee- .

From, all of , which, we are . of the opin _ tioir that our prospects are growing bright brighter as the time- for action the part of 'Congress• draws nearer. THE , RIGHT SOUND. In the Senate, Janotth, Senator Conk. :.:,ling, of York, Said : "1 have been . *lnvited to present a petition, weighty by reason of the subject to which. ,it relates and by reason' also of the slumber and CharaOter of those who sign it. The peti tioners are citizens of New York, distin ,guilhod 'not only for their prominence as ,nwin4eis of society;but for the large and varied interests they represent. • They ,ariiiinen prominent in each of •the great political parties of the country. I ob. Wire among the signatures <names which at the recent Presidential electors were tiund.on opposing electoral tickets. I obserie the names. of eminenthankera, merchants, manufacturers, ship 7 owners, slehOlarsi : professional men,, and - other names long and honorably associated with leading enterprises and industries. It would be difficult to select in any State of 3141Ernion 150 individuals and firms who repreeent a greater sum of property. intelligence, and character, or who, as.pe , titioners, deserie • more • - consideration.— Tha petition is brief and I will read it." • "Ile then reitd.the petition- of isrew York merchants, bankers,- and others ezpres. sive of their pleasure at the appointment of a speciidtammittee - each house to licyjse means for an amicable, count of the electoral vete, and expreasipg the • hope that all party considerations would be thrown asile and pure, unselfish pa triOtism contiul the action of Congress. Resuming hiereniarks,Mr. Con kling said: laying thit petition before the" Senate it, may, not be amiss to add an avowaluf my sympathy with'its- -appeal for orderly, lawful ,patriotic action. In executing the Conititution in' any' initance, and es pecially ,an' instance so grave as the one referred to, partisan feeling as a guide and rule of action eti n rightfully have no place: .Obedience to law, observance of the Constitution and the' maintainance of truth is not .a party' question or pro ceeding. - It is beyond patty and-above party. Parties may contend, and I, be lieve it wholesome in a free government that parties sborild .contend, over meas• ores and candidates hut when the con , testfias been submitted to the ballot-box, the final arbitrament of popular contents known in our system, the only duty, the only lawful proceeding eminected with it which remains, is to, ,find the hon• est and true result, to declare it, bow to it and stand by it. That is the duty of the hour. It rests on the two houses of Congress. ,It rests 'on the nation,, n lt rests on every citizen of the Republic. That it will be done, and done peadeful ly, decently and in order, these petition ers do not, I think, disbelieve. They, in common, with all men, may deserve confi dence from the fact that interest and ex pediency, not less than patriotism and honor, point in one direction and teach one lesson.) Whoever stands on righ.! and truth will not fall. Whoever attempts to stand on wrong and falsehood will be aver- . thrown.,,:l move the reference of the pe . tition to the select committee, - to which it properly belongs." It was so. ordered. We have been confident all the time that when the able' Senator- from New York came to -the front in this matter, he would' • rise above mere partisanship al:1'1,8110i, the, high degree of statesman ship of which. he is capable. It is clear that he regards the matter as having been settled by the People and that it only remains for Coiigress to rati fy and put in force their. expressed wi11..• Commodore VoOderidlt. The death of Cornelius Vanderbilt' which would have created no surprise at any-time during the last year,occurred at 11 o'nlookin the forenoon of last Thtirs day.' Re began to change for worse about 4 o'clock A. M. and -.expressed a desire to igo 'his spiritual adviser, the Rev. Dr. Deems. Itt soon bevame evident nothing could be done except to make his last moments us cheerful as' . possible when it was proposed that there be'singing,a sug . gestion that the Commodore immediate ly assented to: At once Mit. Crawford, his mother-in-law, started the hyinn gin ning : Show pity, Lord 1 0 Lord forgive.; Let a repenting filmier live. The Commo4ore brightened hp, ,for= the was a favorite one. "Nearer, My God, to thee" was also Sung, and "Come, ye . einnere, poor ,iwid " needy.", The Commodere Made several attempts to join in the singing especially.pf the last hymn. which , l-be often had Said he felt was directed to him, but he, was unable to do so. He was in full possession of his faculties, and calmly bade his children. and grandchildren good•by. He . talked with his pastor of the Christian faith, of his soul and the hereafter. Dr. Deems questioned him as to his feelings, and his replies Were strong and confident. "I shall never cease to' trust' in Jesus," he said. . "How can I let that go ?", Shortly before.lo o'clock heleqiiested Dr. Deems to pray with and fog' him, The pastor at once knelt by his bedside and offered a fervent prayer,: petition, praying for di. vine strength to sustain the dying man for mercy and or a, peaceful death. The Commodore, seemed 10. follow the prayer and he repeated "rit the close of the ben ediction, beginning "Now may the peace Of God which passeth all-understanding kelpyour heattii and, minds on Christ jesus ;:and the blessing of G-od Almighty the Father, the' Son and the Holy Ghost; but his voice failel befote the close. At the conclusion of the prayer he attempted to speak, but his throat was filled ; his physicians assisted: him .to clear it, when he said : "That is a • good prayer," and, opening his hand next the Doctor, grasp ed the Matter's hand as firmly, as he could. He tried to speak -again -but vas unable. At 10.30' he had 'ceased attempting to spei,k, and apparently became unCoun mous: ire breathed without - difficulty, lightly= and with regularly slackening respirations. A few minutes later the eyes beeime fixed and glassy and one of the physicians `remarked in an undertone to another -that- there Was no eight in them. The Commodore apparently heard him in the perfect silence., of the room'. and with a last effort raised.hiahand and closed his, own , eyes, Ten minutes after he drew a deep breath and died. He passed away as he itid hoped to—peace fully, and cor.scious aalmost to the last. Cornelious Vanderbilt was borne at Sta pleton, Staten island, on May 27,1794. The house in which he was born is still standing, and is part of his estate. At the age of .nineteen, he niarriQd fr Sophia Johnson, his second cousin, who was just a year younger, and who has been dead eight years. ile was:a business woman, and was well adapted.' to assist the career Of a money maker: -They lived econom ically, and were so. old•iashioned as to have a family, of thirteen 'children, nine daughters and four_ sons, nearly all* whom are still liifing. A few:years ago, at the celebration'of hie golden" wedding, over 140 of his descendents and. re:atives assembled to congratulate him. "ratiderbilt began his ; career As captain of 'a, sail boat which used tolliti'from the beaCh at Whitehall Staten Ishiud,carry ing passengers at:4.B cents ellen. In 1 8 17 Mr.' Vanderbilt abandoned sailing vessels and began "steamboating.,", In. 1829, at the age of thirty•fiVe, he was worth $3O, 000. The first steamboat : he everbOlt was the` Caroline, - whioti finally went over NiagaraYalls. In those days: the busi ness of ste3,mboating was in, the hancls of men of wealth at% powerful companis. Vauderbiltt with coMparatively slender means, found it uphill work but, single handed he successfully otercame I all op position, and gradually .made hisi way to the control of the steamboat interest. In 1851 be established a . line 'to Calitornia via Nicaragua.ln.lB62 . be presented a new steamer of 5,000 tons, costing sBoo,ooo— Vanderbilt—to the United States, for which Congress passed a resolution of thanks. At the, time she wag earning him $2,000 a day. Gradually .withdrawing from . , steam boats he invested in railroads, and be came the largest holder of railroad stocks, and bonds in this country, if not in the world. He bought almost the whole stock of the Harlem -road at nominal prices, much to the suprise of the know ing ones on the street. When he and hit, friends went over. to New Jersey and bought the NeW Jersey railroad it was comparatively worthles4; it has since be come one of the most valuable stocks on the list. Mr. Vanderbilt likewise ac. quired - the control of the Lake Shore and Ifichigari„Southern railroad in July,iB73, and became its president. Under bis management the New York Central rail. road company. and The .New-;York and Hudson River railroad were consolidated by an act passed May 20, 1869. As - to the actual, amount of:the enor mous wealth•acquired by , him, conjecture alone. is available. In 1864, he reported his income to the United Stateainternalt revenue commissioner as verynearly three quarters of a million.- In 1865 hiii fortune was estimated at $40,000,000. .At pres ent those wboare most familiar with his , a ire rate' him at from ,6701900,40.0 to $86,600,900; While many others- believe that it'reaehes a full_supoo,ooo. Possessed of such a princely` fertrine Mr. Vanderbilt's generosity *al frequent ly exercised ondi magnificent scale. He paid for the erection of the Church of the Strangers, in New York, of which Rein Dr. Deems is the pastor, and supported, the Moraidan chinch :at New Dorp,.Sta-, ten Island, near which he bad erected a mausoleum for his own final resting place: He also endowed a:school for girls'on the, grounds of that church, to be built on, the plan of the seminary at Bethlehemi in this state, which, he -also libirally en dowed. 'But his greatest benefaction- was to the new educational • enterprise at Nashville, Tennessee; under the control of "the Methodist Episcopal Church South, of which= his second wife had been a member; This institution i named Van derbilt University in his honor, - has re ceived from him at ,one timb $1,000,000. . Of 13 children by his first wife, who died In 1868, 10 are, now living. After her death he married Miss Frances Craw ford of Mobile who was' 45 year his junior. - - Mr, Vanderbilt * it is undersOod-, made his will about twenty years, ago, but has been in the habit. of amending and re vising it by the addition . of todicils, reg ularly once a year.,lt is expected, of course, that the buk of his enormous fortune-goes to his eldest son William. Havingbeen noted all his life /or him cau tion, it is said that for . years past he hid kept all his great linemen interests so arranged that lila death ;TOW not serious ly affect their continued working, Not withstanding his great influence in,the railroad business of the country, his death it is believed, will have little permanent :effect, in the stock market. The stock which he held in the New York Central - and the Harlem railroads will not, it ill said, be thrown on the market within one year after hiji death, if at all. , Now that all the, most . prominent of the shining lights of the •Republican party an retracting the hard things which :they bays said of the Louisiana Return= ing Board we wonder some one does not take isque with Phil.* Sheridan for what he said of J.
