announce that the President is in
better condition than at any time
since he was shot by the assassin
He is now able to be propped up in
bed. The location of the ball has
been discovered, but no operation
will be made to extract it, Gas long
as it gives him no PAIN until he
gains more strength. His physicians
now think the crisis has passed, and
that in very few weeks he will be
restored in health, SO that he can at

Death OF Justice Clifford.

Judge Clifford Of the United States
Supreme Court, died at Cornish, Me-,
on the morning Of the 25th of July,
1881. Associate Justice Clifford was
the oldest member of the Supreme
Court of the United States, both in
years and term Of service. He could
have retired from the bench eight
years ago without loss of salary but
he preferred to retain his seat until
it should be vacated by death. For
the last year or two he was quite fee
bic, and during the greater portion
of the time he was not able to per.
form judicial duties. In 1S47 Pfesi-
dent Polk appointed him minister to
Mexico, and in 1858 President Buch.
anan appointed him one of the asso.
ciate Justices of the Supreme Court
of the United States. he was an ac-
complished lawyer and an able and
upright judge. He was conservative
in political views, and in dealing
with the new questions that arose
under the reconstruction acts he new
er lost sight Of the old constitutional
landmarks, He was the only judge
on the Supreme Bench appointed by
a democratic President.

c. 60. Extension.

Messrs. Miller (Land Agent of the
Chesapeake and Ohio Railway and
~. 7. Bower, Esq, of this place,
completed their labors along the line
of the proposed Winfield and CALI
polls branch last Friday. and on Sat
urday morning Mr.. Miller left for
Richmond with a report Of their
work.
There are eighty.six tracts Of land,
through which the road would have
to run, between the mouth Of Seary
and the Ohio River at Gallipolis Is
land. A considerable number of pro-
prietors have given. absolutely, the
right of way, without any equivoca-
tion or reservation; about fifteen 9th
er tracts belong to infant heirs, and
Of course the right of way through
such tracts must be secured from the
Courts; while nearly all the remain
ing proprietors will conditionally
give the right of way-that is to say,
if the road runs where they prefer it
should. Still others are willing to
accept reasonable damages, leaving
but about three proprietors through
whose premises the right of way will
have to be condemned.
These gentlemen, and indeed all
the friends of the enterprise, are not
only surprised, but gratifed at the
cordial manner in which they were
met by large majority of the people
along the proposed line, as much
greater opposition had been antici-
patcd and threatened. As an evi.
dence of the thoroughuess of the
work, we may state that blank
book was purchased for the purpose,
the name of every land owner along
the line was recorded. together with
the distance the road would likely
run through his premises, whether
or not the right Of way was donated,
and every other particular that could
be of use or interest to the company
carefully recorded.

side, is yet in such a position as to
entitle his opinions to greater weight

The Free Pass Systems

The New York Sun, commenting
upon the corrupt practice INDUCED
in by nearly every legislator, and
Government official, from the Presi,
dent Of the United States down to
the lowest officer of accepting free
passes on railroads, says:
This mode Of bribery has become
as common as it is disgraceful,
both to corporations that give,
and the persons that receive. 1t is
the entering wedge Of large corrup.
tion, and is too common in most Of
the great States. Governors, legisla.
tors, judges, and other officials, state
and national, have been, and con.
tinue to be, the beneficiaries of a
system which strikes at the root of
public morality, and which has de.
graded and debauched the public
service"
ut is notorious that Senators,
Representatives, members of the
Cabinet, Judges, and many others in
official life, constantly use free passes,
which are bestowed on them by diff
ferent corporations. Any member of
Congress can obtain a pass over the
Pacific roads by merely asking for it
through the retained Lobbyist of the
companies, who are stationed at
Washington with large salary
Every such application is filed, and
every pass is registered as Il voucher
from the recipient for loyalty to the
giver. The wallets Of Judges of the
Supreme Court in Washington, as of
Judges here in New York and else
where, are also stuffed with passes
from railroads, from express compan-
les, and from other corporations that
are often suitors before them; and
these passes are freely used, and
without the least sense of shame at
this open prostitution Of the highest
Judicial oiiice!"
