The Presidents Illness.

Washington Letter to The New York Graphic
The illness Of President Grant gives
serious alarm to his friends. 1t is an open
secret here that thu President is troubled
with complaint in the Kidneys Indeed,
it is sometimes feared that he is in the
incipieut stages Of Brichts disease. He
has suffered painfully without betrayiRg
his suilerings and it Is now stated author
itatiyely that the efu>inn Of blood and
bloated appearance OF the face which
have too frequently been attributed To Il
less eNcuSable cause, are due II the per
io3ical attacks Of his complaint, which
somehow affects the nerves and blood YES
Sels OF the cerebellum, and gives con
gested appearance, to his face. Your COZ
respondent knows several instances, when
very injurious impressions have heen ere
atcd respecting the President, derived from
the appearance Of his face-which is due
entirely n the chronic difficulty above al
luled to. The President Is easier now
than he has been; but the very worst is
To be feared when one Of these accate at
tGcks occur.

On the It'll Of March the Geneseo Re
paJIic, editorially, said
The people should have a voice in
choosing our Circuit Judges. This priv
ilege they have not enjoyed in this district
for some time past That is a question u
be decided next June. But heretofore
the lawyers Of the district have taken ii
upon themselves to select our Judges and
the people have been kindly permitted Il
vote for the choice of the Bar or not vote
at all. as suited them hest. We don
want any more Of this. The people are
competent to make selections for the office
Of judge and arc as likely to make GOOD
ones as the lawyers are. More SO, in 0ul
opinion and they are false to their bes
interests if hereafter they do not take thi
business into their own hands and max,
/ their influence felt in the election Of thcst
/ important public officers
And on the 18th Of April the same pa
per, editorially. said
It appears from the petition sent in t,
Chief Justice Lawrence Of the Suprem,
Bench that very nearly, if not quite, al
the lawyers Of the district are in favor O
his reelection They ask him to becom,
a candidate, and they pledge him thei
hearty support This fact ought to hav
some influence on the action of Farmers

the district il must be conceded, are com

a candidate and Of the qualifications need
ed TO fill the place acceptibly; and
would seem as though their wishes shout
not be disregarded in making a selectio
Of Judge Lawrence : successor.
In March the Republic said 'heretofor

For The Argua

! am glad you note in proper manner
the contemplate course Of the Union
towards the women for recognition That
paper and the Moline Rocjeac kept quiet
during the late canvass, that the women of
the country, who are claiming certain rights
under the government, might be cheated
into the support of Grant but now they
have thrown of the mask and put on their
dirty garbs again. Hear the Rerieu
AN the ladies may now rejoice The
bill has passed both branches of the Leg
stature making women eligible for any of
fee under the school laws of TINS State.
Ii may be interesting to them to learn that
the usual fee for announcing candidates
for Office is five dollars. A change we
have no doubt will at once be made by the
newspapers discriminating in favor Of the
unmarried office seekers"
What has become Of the promise Of
respectful consideration made TO the
women last summer, at the Philadelphia
convention? The Grant party made any
promise that would secure it lease O
power, but as soon as it is secure in THU
power for four years more II unblushingly
disregards all its pledges, and what il
worse, insults every one who demands {
ful6llment of their pledges.

PosTPoNEMENT OF THE LOUISVILLE
PUBLIC LIBRARY GIFT CONCERT 1t will
be seen by the announcement in our adver-
Using columns that the third gift concert
Of the Public Library Of Kentucky, which
was to have taken place April Sth, has
been postponed until July Sth. This post
ponement has not been occasioned, as we
are advised by Gov. Bramlette, by the
small sale of tickets on the contrary, the
sales have been unusually large-mueh
larger than at either Of the preceding con-
certs-so large, indeed, that the time Civ
en- by this ninety-day postponement Will
enable Gov. Bramlette to dispose Of every
ticket and insure full drawing without
any reduction or scaling of the gifts, as
has heretofore been the case. Gov Is.
sees his way 50 clearly that he announces
in the most positive and uneqmvocal Ian
guage that the drawing will take place
July and that it will be full one. The
owner of the ticket drawing the capital
gift will get 100000 in grecnbaeks with
out any discount, and SO Of all the other
gifts The money sufficient to pay all the
gifts 100000 in greenbac&s-is already
on deposit in the Farmers and Drovers,
Bank, set apart for the payment of the
! gifts and can be used for no other purpose,
as win be seen by the cashiers certificate
With knowledge of these facts
there will he such demand for
the tickets now On hand that in
all probability not single one viii be left
/ for sale weeks before the time of drawing.
There never was fairer or more honora-
bly-conducted enterprise before the public,
and it has, as it deserves, the entire con
fidence of our people 1t is one Of those
schemes in which the purchasers of tickets
feel the most positive assurance that the
drawing will be fair. for it viii be con
trolled by the most prominent and distin-
/ gg:ished citizens Of the city and State, and
those who draw gifts will be certain to get
the money the moment their tickets are

Mr.. jackson takes possession of the post

In late funeral discourse it was pathet-
ically remarked that the deceased "had
gone to his rest, where the cares of this
world couldn't follow him, and where he
wouldn't rave and curse about taxes any
more.
Of course it is clear enough that the
election Of Democratic Governor in Con
necticut means nothing, because New Ha-
ven did it." But why did old Windham

twenty years ago?

The occurrence in the town of Colfax
| Louisiana which is described in the dis
patches is of very grave character. 1t is
horrible III itself, and doubly 30 in the con
dition of things which it presages The
troubles are to be directly traced tn the
outrage upon the rights of the people Of
Louisiana which made Kellogg governor Of
that state, notwithstanding he was defeat
ed by a large majority OF the popular vote
/ This proceeding was very naturally con
/ strued by the negroes to give them license
/ 10 commit any atrocities they saw fit, and
| they have not failed t. act upon this au-
| thority. The government of Grant parish
in which Colfax is situated, was in the
hands Of the white men and supporters OF
/ McEuery. A negro returning from the
capital where he had occupied a seat in
the legislature to which he had never been
elected. began at once to inclte the other
negroes of the parish to rebellion. He
seems to have found no difficulty in this
! task, and about two weeks ago band Of
them attacked the courthouse, drove out
the officers and took possession, besides
committing numerous outrages upon white
citizens Having driven nearly all the
white people out of the town the negrOe!
entrenched themselves and held the place
in very military manner. Such was thu
situation previous to the occurrence which
is narrated in the dispatches. 1t appears
that the whites finally rallied force o
l5O and attacked the negro stronghold
battle ensued which lasted for FIVE hours
and which resulted in the defeat of the ne
groes with a loss of 100 killed. This re
versed the previous situation, and nov
there is not negro to be found within
miles of the town. What the end will b.
it is impossible to foresee; but it is clea

and for the more deplorable scenes tina
are to be apprehended, must be visit
