The Generals Condition Yesterday
Somewhat Worse.

A Rrstched Night Passed BY Gsa-

Mr., McGREGoR, N. Y, June 27.-Al'

did not sleep soundly until after midnight
last night. The physician attended him
once during the night and again at 6
o'clock this morning. At II o'clock the
General was awake but not dressed. Since
retiring he had slept six hours during the
past twenty-four hours, the mucus secretions
have increased, and expectoration, which
has tendency to weaken the patient, has
been greater. His pulse this morning is y
but its fullness has been affected to some
extent by the increased secretion and ex.
pectoration.
A message Of sympathy was received
from the Republican Central Club Of Potts
vile, Pa, this morning.
The apprehensions Of DR.. Douglas that
General Grant might have to pay for his
recent rally have already been partly met.
The General had wretched night. Mucous
accumulstions began TO gather after mid
night, and he was scarcely free from cough.

Douglas relieved him for little while by
treatment administered at 3 'clocka m. and

THE sUPERINrENDENCY.

The Applicants for the ONCE to Be Va
Gated by Prof. Birch.
The news of Professor John Birch's ap-
poinment to the Consulate at Nagasaki,
Japan, was the signal for q large number OF
applications from able and distinguished
scholars who were anxious to secure the po-
sition of Superintendent Of Public Schools,
which will be made vacant by the proposed
resignation Of the present incumbent This
will probably take place at the next
meeting Of the Schsol Commissioners,
which will be held the third Thursday in
July. The applicants are numerous but are
not all residents Of Wheeling. The only
qualifications necessary for candidate to
possess is to have taught for period Of
three years in graded schools. The Wheel
ing applicants consist of the male princi.
pals Of the public schools as follows: W.
81. Anderson, of Union district; Professor
Sheppard, Of Center; J. B. Green, Of
Webster; F. 81. Crago, Of Ritchie;
A. NJ. Stevenson, Of Madison.
These gentlemen all possess the necessary
qualifications and are earnest workers in
the cause of education in this State. If
there is any shadow Of a personal boom
in which any one Of the above candidates
has the inside track. it lies with Professor
Crago of Richie, who is an exceptionally
brilliant scholar and man well fitted for
the responsible duties OF the Office.
Major o. ID. Cook, who was
formerly connected with the
State House force, is also prominently men,
toned for the position. The Major is one
of the most thorough scholars and best in
formed men on the subject Of education in
the State, and is provided with credentials
that thoroughly endorse his character and
ability. The Major has many friends in
the city who are snXiously awaiting the
propcsed election.
Msior Lee, who formerly had charge Of
the University at Morgaptown, has frien Is

who are personally acquainted with him,
peak highly Of his scholastic attainments
and general worth, ard are confident OF
be general satisfaction he will give in case
he is successful in his application. Super
jntendent Orr, of the Bridgeport public
schools and Prof. Rowe, principal OF
the Steubeuville High School, are
also applical is for the position. Superin
tendent Birch is kept very busy in arranging
his books and closing up his accounts, but
thinks he will be able to sail for his new
home about the first of August. During
his term of Office, Mr.. Birch has given the
most thorough satisfaction, and it is with
sincere regret the Commissioners realize the
loss Of good man from the right place.

tenced Yesterday.

The Brilliant Marine Bank Financier Sem
fenced Yesterday.
NEw York, June 27.-Jsmes c. Fish,
President of the late Marine National Bank
was to-day sentenced to ten years in Auburn
prison.
Mr.. Fish came into the court room at sn
early hour, accompanied by his counsel,
Messrs. Clark and Stanley. he was dressed
in dark eolors, and his face wore its usual
stolid expression. Judge Benedict entered
the court room shortly after 10 o'clock. The
was On hour earlier than the court usually
opens, and there were few persons present.
As soon as the Judge seated himself Assist
ant District Attorney Foster moved for SEN
tenee ION the prisoner, James D. Fish.
Clerk Shields called the name and Fish
walked firmly to the bar. He placed hand
on the rail and lifted his eyes to the Judge,
VINO wiped his glasses carefully with q silk
handkerchief and said: James D. Fish,
you are charged by the Grand Jury with
many ofenses against the laws of the United
States After fair and impartial trial you
were found guilty Of the missppropriatioa
of the funds of the bank of which you were
President. You were found guilty also Of
making false entries in the books of the
bank while in that position. The verdict OF
the jury was that you were guilty. The
evidence clearly showed that there could be
no doubt as to your guilt. A more
Shameful
or a more lawless abuse of the powers Of a
President of national bank can scarcely
be imagined. 1t is proper, therefore, that
fit punishment should be meted out to you,
and in order that others may be deferred
from similar ofenses, it is necessary that
the full penalty of the law be pronounced
on you. A merciful consideration for your
sge forbids q cumulative sentence. The
sentence of the court is that you shall be
confined in the prison at Auburn for ten
years
Fish did not change color or alter his
expression when he heard the judgment
He shoped agitation in no way. He walked
from the court room leisurely and was re-
turned to his quarters in the Ludlow street
ail, whence he will be taken to Auburn in
a day or two. The sentence is not considered
to be severe. The Communication for good
conduct will reduce the term to years and
6 months. Fish is now 65 years old

BARNESvILLE, s. c., June 26.-Rebecca
Samuels, twelve years old, has been con-
victed of the murder of Lucy Graham, six
weeks old infant she was nursing. She
soaked the child in a pot Of concentrated lye.
The only theory tor the crime is that the
prisoner killed the child to escape the duty
Of nursing it. This is the second crime of
the same kind she has committed within
two years. She appeared to be totally uu'
conscious Of what was going on during the
trial, and twice went to sleep in the dock
with her head resting on her hands, She
has an innocent face, aud is not apparently
in the slightest degree affected BY the result
of her trial. She has not been sentenced.
