The Vaiiderbilt house will be two miles from the nearest residence and a private railroad for the use of George Vanderbilt and! his retainers has been con tru ted, or isjin course of con struction, to reach the nearest railroad station, which is'.twentiy-five miles away, j The bits of description concerning the ! house itself, the proposed furnishing and equipment of it, call up ideasof extrava gance and splendor wjiich can only be gotten in another way by reading the 'Arabian Nights.' It is stated, in fact, that young! Vanderbilt has become so fascinated with the idea of establishing a North Carolina estate that his thoughts scarcely concern themselves with any thing else, and he has spent and. seems to be willing to spend any amount of moiey to bring everything to the most complete imaginable point. One state ment which must be ah exaggeration is to the effect that when; everything is fin ished and ready for the occupation and use! of the owner; the entire expenditure will amount to $fk000.000. This is half of George Vanderbilt's entire fortune, and from that point of view the story seems preposterous. This much is cer tain, that the Vanderbilt" family are very much opposed to young Vanderbilt's scheme in its latest and most costly ram ifications, and ; they I have protested against his going on with it, but up to date the protests seem ' to have had no effect." most ot these men who are so terribly , can get in the next two years. What anxious (?) about the poor men are , are we going to do about it? We ex pec counted among our wealthy citizens, j ted more, and we ought to have more; and that they have nevnr been known to ; b.t we did not get it. That is an end of do anything substantial for the poor, or , State iid for the present.

These kickers all own a great deal of property with considerable frontage on prominent streets, hence they think their pockets or bank accounts will be hurt, and a ter rible howl ensues, and the " poor labor ing people" are made an excuse for their howling. But it won't work. Their game is seen through, and the laboring men will cast their votes for improve ment, i Their design is made the plainer by their proposition to pay for the improve ments by general taxation. That would be a fine scheme for them, but they can not delude the laboring classess into be lieving that it would be easier for them than the method proposed by the im provement bill.
