Grant Gradually Gaining.

DOMESIIC.
Grant Gradually Gaining.
New YORK, April 21st.-At o'clock this
morning the curtains were opened in Gen.
| Grants residence. AT $40 Dl. Douglas
| left the house. He stated that the General
slept through the night without disturbing
him that he was much improved after his
drive yesterday, and that he would go out
to-day. As fa1 as it can be cleaned from
the increased exercise taken by the General,
the doctor thinks he is gaining bodily
strength. The swelling at the base of the
tongue, however, continues with a little
sloughing.
THE NEW YORK "sUN" on THE GENERAL S
DISEASE.
New YORK, April 21st-Dana, in this
mornings Suns leader, again confidently
| anticipates Grants recovering Quoting
the assertion of the Philadelphia Press that
the General has Il cancer that must event
| ually prove fatal, the Sun says "This is
what the physicians thought, but it is not
what they think now. Their bulletin rep
resenting him at the point of death from
hemorrhage few days ago was all hum
bug. That hemorrhage was caused by a
sore in his throat, which in its progress in
yolved small blood-vessel. This caused
V.
| This sore began to heal week ago, and
hardly trace of it remained-a thing i'm
possible if it had been cancer. An
other swelling, however succeeded far
ther down the throat. but that we
dare say is pretty well cured by this time.
We assure our Philadelphia contemporary
that there is nothing in the nature
of the malady which General Grant
is suffering from to make his recovery
either impossible or improbable. What a
lot of free advertising Drs. Douglas and
Shrady have obtained" The journal goes
still further, and represents Grant sitting
among the doctors in an cary chair, smok-
ing The following burlesque account,
headed Grant Will Save Them" is also
given: 1.-The General is determined to
pull his doctors through They are taken
out for drive, and show decided improve
ment.'
THE GENERAL ON THE STREET.
New YORK, April 21st.-At o'clock
this afternoon General Grant left his house
and walked down the steps. Behind him
came Colonel Grant, who walked by his
side, but not touching him. The General
walked to the center of SiXty-sixth street
and Madison avenue, then turned and
| paced back. He used a cane. and walked
| slightly limping, but there was nothing of
| lettering feebleness, and as he was CON
| graduated during his little walk he re-
sponded with a "thank you" that was
| clear and firm. The Colonel slightly as
sisted him up the steps on his return.
Declination of IA Number of CleveIand's
Appointees.
WASHINGTON, April 21st-Qute num-
Der of the Presidents recent appointees to
diplomatic and consular offices are declin-
ing the positions offered them. Lawton.
against whose confirmation objection was
made that his political disabilities had not
been removed, has revived the Administra-
ton from the embarrassing incident of a
fight which would be made over the ques-
ton of the legality of his appointment in
the Senate next winter, by declining to ac-
cept the office Boyd Winchester, of Ken
lucky, has declined the appointment as
Consul to Nice, because Of the small salary
attached to the Office. Judge Hanna will not
accept the Persian mission, because of the
enormous sum twill cost to move his fam
| lily to Teheran, and Kelley of Virginia,
who was recently appointed Minister to
| Italy, will decline that position, to save the
| Administration from embarrassment by
reason of objections that might be made by
| the Italian Government against him. Ii
was rumored here tonight that the Presi-
!
! his declination, and that he had refused
Ii is said that Lawton would not personally
| have declined had he been given one of the
other missions, and that the climate
| of 81. Petersburg had as much to
| do with his declinatiOn as a
desire to save the Administration any en-
| barassment The objections made against
Keiley's appointment as Minister TO Italy
would not apply to any other Mission, nor
would the climatic influences which led to
Lawtou's declination hold goodif Lawton 5
| destination was Rome say the gossips,
who assert that both these gentle
men Will 90 abroad, though to
different posts than al first intended. There
is some talk of eX-Representative Hopkins
who was a prominent applicant for the
Italian mission before ii was given to Kei-
ley, being given the place now, but it is
hardly likely that Cleveland would ask
him to accept a position he had once re-
fused him. Rosecrans' name is spoken of
by Californians here for the Italian mis-
sion. His friends say he was offered the
Chinese mission day or two ago, but de-
Clined, as he did not want to leave this
country. 1t is thought he would
waive this objection if he were asked
| to go to Rome. 1t is said that Kelley
was appointed because he was a Roman

| Hopkins was not given the place was be-
cause he was Protestant and a Freema-
son. Whether it was Hopkins religious
| opinions or his connection with the Penn
| sylvania Bank failure, which some assert
| lost him the post at Rome, the reason exists
now as it did then, and it is not at all likely
that nc will be given the position.
