The President.

The bulletins of yesterday treated of
the Presidents case seriously, and, taken
together with DIR. Boynton's truthful
and intelligent utterances as furnished
by our special correspondent, are well
calculated to create painful anx-
iety. 1t is entirely possible for this
crisis TO be passed as others have
been, but the strong hopes which DIR.
Bliss and his associates have allowed to
be entertained by the country for thepast
week cannot survive the blow they have
received by the new view of the case
which the surgeons have finally decided
to give to the public.
Our latest special conveys the sorrow
ful intelligence that DIR. Hamilton in
formed the President last evening in re-
sponsc to question that his case was
very critical. 1t must be seen by this
that it seemed to the learned doctor no
longer justiiiable to give hopeful assur-
anccs to the sinking patient. The Ma
tion waits in painful suspense for what
this day may bring forth.
National Republican., 1881-09-17
President Garfield and tho Virginia
Coalition.

President Garfield favored the coali-
ton of the Republicans and Readjusters
in Virginia, but recommended that it be
accomplished by State conventions of the
two parties instead of by the amalgama-
ton of both in the choice of delegates to
q single convention. 1t was in Difference
to his wish that the Lynchburg conven-
ton was held, and it was in opposition to
his wish that Wickham d Co. tried to eX-
clude coalitionists from that convention.
The Republican organization has been
preserved as recommended by the Presi-
dent, and has prcsentativeinth the State
Central Committee presided over by Mr..
J. II. Rives the Executive Committee of
which is presided over by Colonel j. d..
Brady, of Petersburg. The President was
known to favor coalition, but to be un-
willing to interfere to bias the action Of
the Republicans. His attitude was known
to be as we have stated, to all who sought
him, One apt illustration used by the
President in this connection was as fol-
lows To n company of Virginia Republic
cans he said: "The campaign IN Virginia is
Ike The siege at Yorktown. There He French
and americans acted as allies against he
English. BIT after Hte surrender the French
tgere still FeacLmen and he americans still
americans, Nou Republicans can join ,chh
The Reddjustcrs IN The same 1c0y non against
a common enemy, and after The rictOry is luon
yo, too can separate if you choose"
Those to whom this was said will make
good our statement. Let no man slander
the President by any pretense that he
was not fullyin sympathy with the grand
movement in Virginia inaugurated by
General Malone and forwarded by a
union of liberal ex-confederates and Re-
publiCans

One of the late General Burnside's old

inspiration upon his men. 81 never knew" he
adds, "a general officer so beloved by the rank
and file Of his men. on one occasion he rode past
our brigade at midnight as the men, almost cx-
hausted by a forced march, were resting by the
roadside for few moments. As soon as the boys
recognized old Burnie,' forgetting their weariness,
they began to cheer. He raised HIS hand and said
quietly: Not now, boys; not now. We are too
near the enemy ond instantly 1t became as still
as though the boys were asleep His corps, from
its frequent removal from one department to an
other, was dubbed 'Burnslde's Geography Class
and think It is safe to affirm that no corps en-
gagged IN more battles or endured more hardships
than the old Ninth and yet 1 believe there was
not man in the corps who would not have fol-
lowed General Burnside TO starvation or to the
