The constitutional amendment
for the increase of representation
virtually had the life kicked out of
it on Friday by the parliamentary
tactics Of John F. Salisbury III
taking advantage of the absence
Of rs flienGs. BY the way, it is
said that the fight is a deeper one
- a party sense than the passage
OF this amendment, and that the
real issue is deep under the sur
face
The news in regard to the health
Of Gen. Grant, on Monday, as given
TO the papers, was alarming, indi-
eating an early demise of the great
commander. The physicians admit
that his condition is most serious,
and that there is little or no chance
" his recovery. Sympathy will
not be limited by National bound
aries The whole world will mourn
at the prospect Of losing one of its
heroes.
There seems to be a general de-
sire on the part Of the leading fruit
and grain shippers that Charles E
Moore, bOok-keeper in the Fruit
Growers National Bank shall take
ahe place Of the late Col. H. c
Douglass, at Clayton, and we un-
derstand that he is holding it un.
der favorable consideration. Mr.
Moore was with Col. Douglass siz
or eight years, prior to going into
the bank, and was both popular
and efficient, and hence the turning
of the popular mind to him.
