General Grants cok klition has been considerably improytS for the past 1.-two weeks, bat tle 9pe of his ulti. mate recovery which l,me newspapers have held Sut to thei readers, is falla- cious. Tie cancerisgiadually doing its deadly work, A speesal to the Globe Democrat, states that a thorough ox. amnation of the GeupraIs throat by Dr. Douglas with the aid of a new il- lummating apparatus for surglcal purposes, revealed very discourag. ing state of afMrs.
 The gums are honey-combed and for a distance down theuvula present. ed the appearance of q red, rough sur. face covered with mueus, To this is attributed the pain and uneasiness which the General has been suffering from for the last few days. Mir, Cohen who assisted in this examination, is of the opinion that tho doctors have made no mistake in their diagnosis, and that the GeneralAcase is hope less one. He also statS d that in con- yersation with one oA the attending physicians the latter se Id the Generals was such critical case that no deii- mite opinion can be given oft. There is no such thing as relspse Ill case of cancer, for the disease progresses steadily to its termination, There are days when the General feels we'll, and when the diseased par. has better appearance, but there ais nothing to hope for in the GeneiA Is case. He may live for few mol hs, or q few days may end his lile"s
 "As to the manner If his death, continued tho speaker, "he will die of sufoeation, There will suddenly come a yelling of blood in his throat, caused by the rupture of a blood yes- sel, and all will Ge over. The Generals case is 8 hopeless one"

 The settlement of the State debt has been for years the most troublesome question in Virgi lia politics and gave rise to the Malone party or Re-adiust- CTS, who for several years he'd the the balance Ofpower in the Old Do minion and Sulhed her fair name by the passage of the infamous Riddle berger bill or ucoupon.killer," which was a violation of a solemn contract entered into between the State and its creditors in 1871. However, the per. sistent effort to repudiate the confess ed debt of Virginia has proven futile and been settled for all time, The United States Supreme Court has de- cided that the State must accept its own coupons in payment of taxes, This will be unwelcome news to a large majority of people in Virginia ofwhat- ever party. As was the case prior to 1879, so large part of the taxes will be paid in coupons that the State will find it difficult to get enough money to pay it's running expenses. The RiddIeberger bill repudiated absolute ly twelve millions of tho State debt, reduced the rate of interest to thrae per cent and made tbe coupons noa- receivable for taxes. Th9 latter clause of the law has been declared gaeoasti- tutional and tha Legislature must now make provision for accepting the obligations of the State for its own debts.

 It would seem as though the time for further parleying over tho Afghan, istan question had passed, vet the English Premier persists in making oyertures to Russia for peace, which meet with little encouragement from the Muscoyites. Both nations are making active preparations for war, but it is evident that Russia will baye to assume all aggressive front and force a rupture before England will begin hostilities.
 England has reason to avoid war, for tho tido n Europe seems to have set strongly against her Frances rupture with Egypt is omiEops: Fur key has shown by her avowal that English vessels will not be permitted to pass the Dardanelles, that she viii aid Russia, in the event of war, and Gerndnys utteranees are not reassur. ing to the English.

 Ithas heenalanoted question wheth. CT not the bile of Gila Monster is poisonous. The following from the Cochise Record would seem to oealablish the fact that it is.
 Sunday evening Dr, Matthews was summoned by telegram to Fairbanks to attend Colonel Yearger, who was reported seriously Ill. Owing to q delay in the telegram, the doctor did not reach the patient for several hours after his death, which mad been very sudden. It appears that Yearger had been foollug with a Gila Monster, and in attimpting to open the creature 5 mouth, was bitten on the right thumb. Instantly the poison took effect and, although every convenient remedy was applied be lived but a few hours. An inquest was subsequently held and . verdict rendered in accordance with the above facts. As this is the third or fourth death which has occurred in tie Territory from bites of this rep tile, it should set at rest at once and forever, that theory So prevalent that their bite is not poisonous Colonel Yearger will be remembered as one of ofa party to a some what romantic marriage which took place in this city a year or two since.

General Haacn has in accordance with judgment of court martial, been reprimanded for oriticising obiec. tionable acts of Secretary of the War. While Haael may have been critically wrong according to military ethics, his act, nevertheless, in a civil sense is subject of public commendatlon, The truth of Ha1ens statement was not successfully controverted. His crime was in making known the crim- inal neglect Of the Secretary of War in not sending timely suecor to the sufferers of the Greedy Arctic expsdi- tion. The military service is not inl- proved by muzzling subordinate oifi~ eers who know of the commission of q great wrong or criminal neglect in the performance of boupden duty. As in civil cases, c person in the military service should be free to speak, write or publish, conditioned that they are responsible for the truth of their asper- tions under a law of libel
