THE news from Washington this

the president condition. The opera

have reached its purposes and to have
been followed with altogether satisfacto-

poisoning there are now no symptoms,
and it is hoped no danger. The alarm
ing stnpraSc in the discharge from the
wound, SD necessary to progress toward
recovery, has been relieved and the gen
eral condition of the patient is much
improved 1t must be observed, how
ever, that he is far from being out of dan

OccasiOned such widespread anxiety,
will strengthen the popular impression
that he has not been nearly SO far on the
way to restoration rs the White House
advices had led the public to believe
Indeed it is very manifest that his more
critical stages are concealed from the
public, and that again and again it is to
he nOticed, that information about them
only comes when the doctors are ready
to report IN improvement. This mode
of giving the public the news is very
misleading, and it would be better to
give them his exact condition or less

TIE late Secretary +. NJ. Stanton
must have been an odd man, though it
was perfectly natural that his arbitrary
and tyrannical exercise of power. ensu-
ing SO often in terrible results to inno-
cent persons, should have filled his mind
with remorse and peopled his bed cham
Der with spectres. A most curious dis
cOvery in relation to him and the condition
of his mind, is the publication of the let
ters printed elsewhere, in which he an
nOunced his purpose to have Horace
Greely arrested for melting assassins to
murder him. These letters will 90 far
to strengthen popular credence of the
story that in some such state of mental
agitation, SO easily accounted for, he
rashly sought the most desperate re-
source of remorseful men.

cured the contract of distributing dOcu-
ments ut Harrisburg for 81, $50 per year,
he can very well afford to divide with
those who We're induced to keep off in
the bidding. For the chances are that all
the work involved in the contract he
can get done for 800, or $50, if indeed
he he not carried along on the pay roll
without rendering any service himself
or by substitute. In Il previous instance
apoItical and personal friend of Clerk
Cochran from Lancaster was carried
along as fireman and got S1,10O'
or Sl,200. for his services, though
it was notorious that he never quit his
work here nor left the city to attend to his
Harrisburg duties, unless it was to draw
his pay, and even that, it has been shown,
can be done by proxy. Indeed, very
often those to whom state employees
owe their positions insist that they, the
principals, shall draw the pay so as to re-
tain their divvy." In Il recent instance
one of the rural best workers - of the
county, who obtained Il $500 position,

But he assures us that the bosses did not
make him divvy. Mr.. Leonard will be
