Vanderbilt will its attack and a family battle unfolds
New York dispatch reports William H. Vanderbilt may face a contested will led by Cornelius Vanderbilt and some sisters. Cornelius claims elder values, epilepsy history, and uneven paternal favor. The great estate, about one hundred million, is blamed on undue influence, with lawyers hired on both sides as public opinion splits on division versus preservation.

Old Mr Bledsoe noted for foul language and wit
A neighbor tells Mrs Bledsoe that the old man looks youthful for his years. The wife quips that while he curses well for his chances and practice, he could use more polish in his swearing. The exchange highlights daily neighborly humor about propriety.

Senate disputed seating of L Q Camar Kellogg Grover and Morgan
In the extra session of the United States Senate on March 6 and 7, debates focused on seating L Q Camar as Mississippi senator, Kellogg from Louisiana, and Grover of Oregon amid disputes over credentials, legality of state governments, and election procedures. The body adopted resolutions to table credentials and deferred final seating decisions pending committee reports, with votes split along party lines. An executive session discussed cabinet nominations, and March 8 saw Morgan sworn in as Alabama senator while Grover’s case continued, citing differing legal principles.

Senate Proceedings Preserve Open Session Actions
The record notes authorized statements by Grover about full investigation of charges. The vote to confirm Sherman as Secretary of the Treasury was mostly party line with Republicans for and 26 Democrats against. Committees were assigned on March 9 and 10, with referrals concerning seating credentials from Louisiana and a petition by 369 Oregon citizens alleging election bribery. Executive sessions confirmed cabinet nominees and adjourned to March 18.

The Protection of Prayer in a Contaminated World
A reflective piece likens prayer to a diver's crystal vestment that shields a believer from corruption. It argues prayer creates a breathable atmosphere around faith, enabling ascent and descent through peril without contact, citing Daniel in Babylon as an example of purity through communion with God.
