A Washington dispatch says: AT
torney General Garland was obliged to
take to his bed, cold with suggestion
of pneumonia giving sufficient occasion
for alarm to bring from his attending
physician peremptory order for him
to remain at his house for the next few
days. 1t is undoubtedly another case
of overwork, although the immediate
cause of the trouble is a cold. Several
friends of the president who realize that
the usual routine of his life since he
entered the White House has been any
thing but conducive to good health, are
understood to have spoken to him
lately of the imprudence of neglecting
all outdoor exercise as he has done so
far i'll his close attention to the business
of his Office. He has been advised to
take q daily ride on horseback, but
thinks himself too heavy for that sort
of exercise and is unwilling to spare
the time for walk. He takes practi-
cally no exercise at all, for his after
noon drives in an open carriage can't
possibly be called exercise. AS a per-
fectly natural result he has steadily III
creased in weight during the past year
and-nOw turns the scale at fifty pounds
heavier than when he first came to
Washington.
Secretary Manning has had much the
same experience. He has given no
time to exercise riding, because his
house and the treasury department and
giving pretty much all of his time, day
and night, to his work. He gained in
weight straight along 10y this sedentary
life and weighs something more than
forty pounds more than he did a year
ago.
Three members of the cabinet are
now SO i'll as to be confined to the house,
Secretary Lamar having been added to
the list to-day. Mr.. Manning was re-
ported better last evening, but his i'm
proYement is very slight. His real con-
ditlon has been made much worse than
has been admitted publicly by his ply
sicians, so that with even slight
change for the better he is still very
sick man. 1t is also learned from a
trustworthy source, direct from Mr..
Manning's household, that he can't
articulate distinctly and has not been
able to do anything since he was first
Frustrated, more than humble a few
short words. His lower limbs are also
said to be completely paralyzed, so that
he is unable to move them, although he

dowiess log house Of the Majors and find
ing him in a convivial rather than q
watchful mood, threw themselves against
the two doors at the same time and burst
In. But to their amazement the moon
sinner chief was not to be found. Only his
wife, two children and a simple looking
mountaineer were the inmates 1t was
afterward discovered that the object of
their search had escaped by way of
the huge chimney of sticks and mud. In
1881, however, the Major fell a victim to
the officers, whom he had so often eluded,
and surrendered only when shot with a
dozen bullets, and when his own weapons
had been literally shot out of his hands.
Then came his trial, his conviction, his
prison life at Albany for several years
and then his pardon. And now, full OF
notoriety and bullets, he is qaietly passing
his days in a remote backwoods section of
South Carolina, and from his cabin door
he can see the peaks that witnessed his
boldest daring and widest adventures, but
which will never again feel the tread nor
echo the voice of this moonshiner chief
who is passing away in his prime.

TIE TICKET.

The action Of the citizens meeting
last night in mass convention and agree
Ing on the ticket To he voted for next
Monday. was eminently right and
proper. 1t gave every citizen, rich and
poor alike, the opportunity of express
ing Lis preferences. No one was
barred from participating, and nothing
was said or done that smacked of pri-
vate schemes. This WAS a better way
Of nominating a ticket than if half
dozen individuals had met in secret
caucus and dictated names that the
people must vote for.
We are truly glad that the people de-
cided on this mode of expressing their
choice for officers. No one has any
right now to say that there was a clique
or faction at the head of the movement.
