The Malaria of spring.

an alarming extent everv Spring in nearly all

verV much of the sickness notice in the
Spring OF the year may be traced to causes
which were engendefed ia the "cod term -
But whether the cause lies hidden in the svs-

A Model AppoIntment.

A great deal Of clamor was raised against
Andrew Johnson because he appointed a
few men to office who subsequently, proved
TO be dPhonest. We presume that during
the administration af every President some
dishonest men have managed to secure Of
fees for themselves. From the very nature
Of things it must be so But that Andrew
johnson ever appointed a dishonest man to
an Office. kno,cing him to be 30, is NOT true,
nor can it be proven. Before the election
1t was one of the radical arguments, that
Grant himself being honest lie would not
kno'cinGly appoint Scoundrsl to Office.
For several years James N. Ashley has
represented the Toledo (O) district in Con
gress. He was defeated last fall by dem
Ocrat. This man Ashley was always bla,
tant demagogue, and acquired q good
deal of notoriety in consequence a hiS per-
Sfstent howl for the impeachment ef Presi-
dent johnson. During the administration
Of President Lincoln, q man by the name Of
Frank Chsse, who lived in Ashley's district
was an applicant for the Office of Surveyor of
Colorado Territory Ashley was bis warm
friend, imPortunsd the President to appoint
him, and while the matter was pending he
wrote q neat business letter to bis Dear
Frank" of which the following is an .1-
tract 4:
Now, Frank. this is the best Office. in nv

We suppose that no nan, after reading
thus extract, would say that James M. Ash
ley IS an honest man. In almost every ssn-
tsnce Of it he confesses himself 10 be a cor-
Fupt scoundrel. This letter was extensive
Unpublished just previous to the impeach-
ment trial and could not but have been
quite as well known to Gen. Grant as Il was
20 any man in Congress. Ashley has never
denied it. and yet. with this conclusive evil
dence Of Ashley's Infamous character before
him, Grant has appointed him to the res

wrapped in the bed clothing, apparently
asleep. but falling to receive a response to

evening that he would not accompany him

We cannot consent to conduct the FR1H

the editor supposes that there A to be q

allied that if she denied the story while her
husband was alive. she would be accused of
an attempt to insure his death. She was

would be of any service to him. and she was
