THE SACRIFICE OF sEss1Nns.

The refusal to renominate Loren B. Ses-
sions to the Senate is causing trouble
among the republicans in the western por
ton OF the state. He is a leader of the
half breeds; his district has alway been
controlled by that type of politicians; he
rendered the administration very extraor-
dInary services in the late contest for Sen
ators in Congress; the defeat of Conkling
and Platt and the election of Lapham and
Miller were largely due to him and to the
kind of tactics in which he has long been
an expert To sacrifice Sessions under
such circumstances shows callous con-
dition Of the half heart in the counties OF
Chautaqua and Cattaraugus.
Certain republican newspapers, which IN
the bitter Senatorial struggle were in full
accord with Sessions, seems to rejoice IN
his downfall They say they do not like
his standing in the legislature. or approve
the business wherein he was engaged fol
years past in and around the Capitol But
It is not easy to point out wherein his

The atmosphere is pervaded with yellow

Everywhere can be seen star-ike points
of white light resembling electric lamps,
being really gas jets. The phenomena is
noticeable in New Hampshire and as far
east as Portland. Emerson, Professor of
Astronomy at Dartmouth College, thinks
this may be owing to the pollen from fire
and pine trees, with smoke from the forest
fires in Canada. causing an absorption of

CHICAGO, Sept 6.-The Thomas trial
was resumed this morning. Rev. r. S.

of jurors in place of DR.. Ellis, who could
not serve DR.. Jewett was still absent, be-
ing sick at Elgin, and DR.. Hatfield posi-
lively declined to act as prosecutor, and
conduct the trial in behalf of the church
Elder Willing thereupon appointed DIR. M.
NJ Parkhurst to that position. He reluc-
family agreed to serve. A long demurrer
was filed by the counsel for the defense,
setting forth that the charges were vague
and indefinite. DR.. Bennett supplemented
this document by an exhaustive argument,
in which he amplifed the text of the de-
murrer, and maintained that the tenets of
Methodism taught that doctrine was an es-
sential element in the standard as much
as the employment of any means to save

THE BLACKBURNS.

LEXINGTON, Sept. 6.-Gov. Blackburn,
in an interview, said he still believed that
the President would die; that the ball struck
the spine, and has now gone down, carry
ing considerable pus with it, which will
form another cavity. His nutriment is in
sufficient to repair the drain, and give him
strength. Congressman Blackburn ex-
pressed the belief that the physicians were
butchering him, and he would die. He
was a splendid fellow and would do his
duty and treat the South fairly. His stal,
wart successor would be the reverse, and
would be worse than the devil to the

In the bribery charges, the Administra-

this, then they must have looked upon
Sessions as a martyr who had fallen a vic

Lone BRANCH, Sept. z, Ais p. m.-
The President is reported as passing good
dav. The excessive heat effected him
somewhat, but his general conditions are
encouraging, and he is holding the gain
which he made during the night.
He was extremely Respondent. He is feel
ing in good spirits this morning and thinks
the change during the night almost mirac-
ulous. 1t having been decided to issue
official bulletins but twice per day is anoth-
er good indication and tends to prove that
the surgeons do not anticipate a e-currence
of anything serious.
The weather to-day is said to be the hot
test of the season, ninety in the shade
with land breeze blowing.
GOOD NIGHT.
ELBERoN, N. J. Sept. z, $50 a. m.-
Gen. Swain this morning said that the
President slept well all night. His pulse
is not more than 106, and his temperature
is but slightly above normal. There is a
very sanguine feeling among the attendants
this morning. A bulletin will be issued
shortly.

LONG BRANCH, Sept. $3.50 p. M
Since the last bulletin was issued the Presi-
dent has been moved from Washington to
Long Branch. He was more restless than
usual last night, evidently somewhat excl
ted by anticipation of the journey this
morning. At $50 the pulse was 118, tenn
perature 98.8, respiration IS. We left
Washington with the President at $50 ..
N. Owing to the admirable arrangements
made by the Pennsylvania railroad, and
the ingeniously arranged bed, designed by
T. n Ely, the fatigue incident to the trans
portation was reduced to the minimum
Nevertheless as was anticipated, some signs
of disturbance produced by the journey
have been exhibited since the arrival by 6
rise in temperature and increased frequency
of pulse. The pulse is 1874, temperature
