Republican C'ounly Ticket.
For Associate Jiulgo,
lion. JOHN A. rilOPER.
For District Attorney,
1. M. CLARK, Esq"
Gen. Grant Nearing the End.
Long Branch, July 21. Private
letters received here from friends of
the Grant family represent bim to bi
much worse off than any of the re
porta indicate as shown in the regular
press dispatches from Mt. McGregor.
His family now do not expect him to
live from one day to tlio next. From
these reports it is probable that Grant
may die at any moment. The gener
al understands this and is ready.
Several days ago Mrs. Sartoris thought
of coming down to Long Branch for
a visit. This was when her father
had the appearance of mending. She
asked him if she could come. He is
very much devoted to his daughter
and has always been anxious to do
everything to give her pleasure. Yet
he told her when she tsked him if she
could come that he preferred vnot to
have her go away even for one day.
This shows that General Grant under
stands his own condition better than
any ono.
Dr. Pancoast, of Philadelphia, says
that General Grant's death will prob
ably result from exhaustion. He is
continually decreasing in weight and
the action of his heart is growing more
and more feeble. He will in all prob
ability die very quietly. His heart
will simply cease to beat and he will
probably die without any pain or
struggle.
The spoilsmen rejoice there has
been a clean sweep. The cyclone did
it out in Dakota.
The campaign argument against the
Republican candidate for Governor of
Virginia is that his
hanged John Brown.
grandfather
It is flatly denied thai Mr. Cleve
land went fishing last Sunday. He
remained in his room al! day fixing
his hooks and lines.
George William Curtis is mad
at Attorney-general Garland, because
the latter is making a clean sweep.
Air. Curtis, apparently, doesn't see
what Mr. Garland is here for.
Having announced his intention of
opening the flood-gates of villification
against Col. Quay, Chairman Hensel
stood off to see how his announcement
would be received. He was sat down
upon so hard that now he says he
didn't say it.
There is a powerful suggestion of
Republican victory in the air of Vir
ginia. The reconciliation of the dif
ferences which have divided the forceB
of Mahone and Riddleberger is very
much like signing the death warrant
of Bourboniam.
, The Washington Post has performed
iU regular monthly task of reading
Uncle Randall out of the Democratic
' party. Our esteemed contemporary
will have to keep on doing this dreary
work until Uncle Randall has the
good taste to stay read out.
General Sheridan eays the In
dian troubles this year grow out of
the invjieiods-by cattle men and land
, iif'ea. Would Tt cct be a good
thing for the Secretary of War to
eend General Miles after these people
and get the Indians to help him? If
it could be done, we have uo doubt
that there would be more justice ad
ministered this summeT on the plains
than in any summer for a quarter of
a century.
Ex-Speaker Carlisle appears to
have made a fool of himself. His
term as Speaker and Congressman ex
pired the fourth of March last, and
within a few days he has appointed a
doorkeeper of the House and sworn
him in, which he had no more power
to do than the fellow who drives the
hackney coach he ridos in. It is as
touisbiog that Carlisle should have
blundered in this way, and his ex
planation of his previouenees will be
jibEorbingly interesting.
J. E. WENK,
The Democrats who are demand
ing that tlio Ohio convention shall
take positive ground against civil cr
vice reform, as exemplified by I'rcsi
dent Cleveland, will probably revise
their purpose before the time comes
Men are seldom as great fools in prac
tice as they are in profession. The
convention will endorse the President,
and coo you gently as sucking doves
on the topic of civil service reform
Mark that.
Secretary Whitney's arbitrary
course in relation to the Dolphin, jnd
the prospect of like trouble in hold
ing the Government to its agreement
on his other ship contracts, coming on
top of the long continued depression
in the iron business, has compelled
Mr. Roach to make an assignment for
the benefit of his creditors. If it was
secretary Whitney s intention to
break Mr. Roach up, he could not
have pursued a course better designed
to that end than he did, nor have
seemed more bent on accomplishing
that very result than was eviuced by
his actions and expressions in regard
to the Dolphin. Phila. Press.
Every now and then we run afloat
of some enthusiastic account of the
wonderful progress made in Texas in
the elements of civilization. About
the most striking of these yet to the
fore, is from the Galveston Daily
News, which eays, that "during the
last six months ninety and nine gen
tlemen have, by order of Judgo
Lynch, unwillingly adorned various
lamp poBts and limbs of trees. This
large number of departed citizens
wore guilty of murder, or horse steal
ing, or incendiarism." This summary
method of converting present, into
"departed" citizens, is indicative of a
vigorous, if not esthetic civilization.
WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our regular Correspondent.)
Washington, D. C, July 18, '85.
The opinion of the Attorney Gen
eral in the case of the Dolphin is
likely to be a surprise to the country,
and will be little less than a thunder
bolt, not only to Mr. Roach, but to
all government contractors. We may
expect to see the opinion vigorously
combated, and, until Mr. Roach has
a chance to reply to Gen. Garland
with regard to the legal aspects of
the case, it may not be becoming in
laymen to prejudice the merits of the
controversy. It will occur to most
people, however, to ask what security
a contractor has under existing usages
that his work will finally be accepted
by the Government. The opinion
will certainly make contractors more
cautious in the future, and will have a
tendency, as has already been illus
trated on a recent occasion, to keep
them from bidding for government
work. In almost all largo jobs the
work is passed upon by a subordi
nate officer or board, and partial pay
ments made to the contractor, if the
work is deemed satisfactory by the
authorized inspector. A new and
perplexing element is introduced, if
we are now to understand that these
under-officers have no authority to
reprpsent the government or construe
an act of Congress, and that the con
tractor at aoy stage of the work is
liable to have his work rejected and
to be sued by the government for the
money paid bim in installments by
the Treasury by the authority of the
board of review.
Of course, if it can be shown that
there was a conspiracy to defraud the
government, to which the contractor,
the board of review, and the Secreta
ry of the Navy were parties, then
there would be no difficulty in bring
ing an action, but in the present case
no such charge is made, although it
seems to be part of the creed of good
democrats that all the navy' dealings
with John Roach are steeped in cor
ruption. Possibly this conviction has
had its influence in the present atti
tude of the administration. No doubt
we shall all be sufficiently enlightened
on the law and equity in the matter
as the opinion opens the way to ex
tended and expensive litigation.
The rules in regard to annual
leaves of absence in the Iuterior de
partment have not been changed, and
the same rules are in force that pre
vailed last year. The First Assistant
Secretary, Mr. Muldrow, said yester
day that the subject of chaDges in the
rules had net been taken under con
sideration. The commissioner of the general
land office has affirmed the right of
entry uuder the public land laws and
decisions of the fc'upeuae Court, of;
lands heretofore withdrawn by volun
tary action of the general land office,
lor railroad indemnity purposes
where no requirements of law existed
for making such withdrawals. The
effort of this decision, if sustained ly
the Secretary of the Interior will be
to restore to entry under the home
stead and other laws many million
acres of public land which have been
kept out or market for many years

The successor of Mr. Fostor as min
ister to Spain has not yet been decid
ed upon. When Mr. Foster left here
for Spain to negotiate a second treaty,
me appointment was postponed until
his return. The report that he will
shortly be he.ie has renewed the hopes
of persons anxious to secure a snug
foreign berth. The Spanish mission is
considered one oi the most desirable,
and there are now more applications
on file in the State department for it
tnan thore were loi any other office.
ine special delivery postal system
provided for by the last Concress will
be put in oporation in the course of a
month or two at about a dozen of the
principal pohtoffi ces of the countrv.
including New York, Boston, Brook
lyn, Philadelphia, Chicago, and
Washington. The details of tho sys
tem are now being formulated at the
Postoffice Department. The law pro
vides that the attachment to a letter
bearing the legal postage of a special
stamp of the denomination of ten
cents shall entitle the letter to imme
diate delivery at free delivery offices
to be designated by the Postmaster
General. It is believed that fifty mes
senger boys will be required at the
piew xork rostotnee and twenty-five
at each of the large statious in that
city. While no doubt is entertained
that the system will pay its expenses
in the end, it is feared that a year or
more may elapse before the" public
will avail itself of the advantages of
the now system to an extent that will
adequately compensate the messengers
employed. L.
