Nix. LINCOLN OvlRwoRKKD. - The New
York Times Warrington correspondent
says:
There is good deal Of anxiety in Repub-
lican circles concerning the Preaident's
health, and the effect upon it of his Kramer
and style Of doing business. He has
no system or method whatever, bat allows
his time and strength to be exhausted in
listening to office seekers, and doing the
druid .ery which belongs 10 tbs Departments.
Until Wednesday morning, he had not even
taken ride for recreation From five o.
clock in the morning sill long after mid
night he permits himself to be made the
passive victim of ths thousands Who woald
readily sacrifice his life aud the safety of the
mutton t" their eagernsss for office. This
course Of action san have but one result. 1t
has killed two good Presidents, and will in.
evitab' deprive the country Of another, If it
is nat changed A false delicacy prevents
his friends from making proper representa-
tions to Mr. Lincoln on this subject, and the
da ger is that his profound apd unseli sh
anxiety to see ever, body and give nobo dy
any ground to complain of injustice, will
sap bis strength and shorten his life.
