LOCAL MATTERS.

CRITICAL ILLNESS OF FATToRNEi-GENERAL'
DANIEL Raleigh T. Daniel, Attor-
nev-GeneraI OF the StHte, is critically I'LL
from hemorrhage OF the bowels. For
about 4 week he has, at times, complained
OF not feeling very well, but on FRIDAY
night, when called before the Convention
to say something in regard to his unanimous
denomination, he seemed to be in his usual
health and spirits. His brief speech was
marked by decided vigor OF expression and
thought. In his allusion to his position OF
neutrality towards the gubernatoriai candi-
dates he was "facetious. In expressing the
wish that the delegates might reach their
homes in safety, he uttered some very happy
sentiments. Indeed, it was remarked by
many that he never looked stouteror better,
and that be had never spoken with more
eloquence. His effort was one OF the very
best before the Convention, and as such was
recognized and applauded at the time.
The following day he was attacked by
what he thought was diarrh9a. MONDAY ne
was feeling so badly that his physician was
summoned. 1t was soon seen that he was
suffering from hemorrhage OF the bowels.
At one time yesterday afternoon his con-
dition appeared to be beyond hope, but he
rallied somewhat after that, and at .. O'Clock
last night, Wnen DocLoIS -uSo t'iie, o0'he
and Ross held a consultation, there was
some little Improvement, it was believed.
The doctors. however, regarded his case
as alarming. He was entirely conscious,
though very weak. He had been informed
that his attack was very dangerous one.
The doctors thought that il he could pass
safely through the night nature might re-
assert itself. His age (sevcnty-two) and his
present fecbleness are OF course much
against him. -,
All OF his immediate family were in the
mountains. but were yesterday telegraphed
of his condition. and they will return to the
city this morning.
Every man, woman, and child in Rich
mond, and, for the matter Of that, in Vir-
ginia, will hear with regret OF Mr.. Daniels
illness, and wish him a speedy recovery. He
is endeared to every Eirginian by long,
useful, and stainless public life.
