WASHINGTON, June 23.-The following
bulletin was issued at 80 this evening:
'Gen. Sheridan's condition has contin-
ued to improve. The intense heat is,
however, beginning to tell upon his
strength. 1t is evidently becoming
necessary to consider the question of
his removal at an early day to a more
favorable locality"
The fact that Drs. Pepper and Lincoln
were in consultation tonight with the
physicians regularly in attendance has
suit of an agreement at last Sunday s
consultation. Gen. Sheridan will prob
ably be removed to the seashore during
the present week. provided his condi-
ton justifes it. Fortress Monroe or
Atlantic City will probably be selected as
the most convenient access. DR.. Pepper
returned to Philadelphia tonight.

The Result in burlington.

The republicans of Burlington may well
congratulate themselves and the party on
their rousing victory of Tuesday. The
result shows what can be accomplished by
united and earnest effort. Our republi-
caus have never before had such odds to
light. To the usual party obstacles were
now added all the influence, money, and
paid patronage of the administration ma
chine in this city. For the first time in this
city the custom house sailed in rs the flag

committees were well supplied with
money. They assumed to control and
actually did get some help from the
new organization Of Knight of
Labor, which ii not established here az n

not wholly become such, is much to the
credit Of the Intelligent and lndepeuqeut
