Tun Washington corrrespondent of the Cincinnati Commercial Oaiclle telegraphs: About Washington it is useless to deny that the action [Miller's appointment] was taken as a square-but declaration in lavor ol the Itamlall end of the Democracy and spirits went up or down accordingly. To-day's appointments have further enhanced the Itandall stock, and among the people of the other branch of the party thcro is consternation and indignation beyond expression.

Scott, the millionaire Congressman-elect from Pennsylvania, oie said to be among the financial godfuthirs of the administration organ which is to appear in Washington May 3. Couldn't our own ex-Senator find anything in the new>|iaper line at home to back? The day of administration organs has long gone by. Newspapers of that sort will stand no end of backing, but bread cut on those journalistic waters never comes back. It is written on the tombstones on all the Washington concerns that have tried It in the last thirty years. Washington doesn't stand in tho relation of I,om!on, Paris, Vienna or Borlin, and in this country to be a government organ is to he handicapped to the death.

Mr. l'eareon has been In the servico more than twenty years, lie has reached bis present position step by step. He is a Republican, bat not a politician. He bos conducted the business of his office on strictly business principles, so that it has become tin model postotllce of the country. There ii great curiosity to know what the President issuing to do about it. The suggestion is thrown out tbat the President will make no appointment, preferring to allow Postmaster Pearson to drift long until some time next fall, when s Democrat will bepntinhis place. Thii course would please the spoilsmen, but it would he no moro in the line of Civil Service reform than the appointment of Biggins, Senator Gorman's striker, to bo Chiel of tho Appointment Division of the Treasury.

As IfltflMallno nYtnaa nf (ha fliinw !?1 ??'B I """1 " .police and gambling circles is that the keepers ot gambling bouses are damn1 in* the Chief of Police (or all thii trouble. Their complaint is that if h( had done a little pulling in a mild waj public opinion would have been satisfied there would have been no clamor, ant they could have gone along doing the oli kiineffl at the old stands. Perhaps thii Is true. Tho public is satisfied with verj little, and newspapers aro disposed to givi the police great credit lor the least dis chitge of duty. This complaint ot the gamblers agalns the Chief of Police is another remind? that spasmodic raids are of little use. Thi repeated, persistent, uncompromising as ttult is what counts. If the gambllni hells are to be rootol out there must bi waged against them a war of oxtermina tion. If ahouse is "pulled" to-night, pul it again to-morrow night and keep 01 "polling" it as often as there is reason ti believe It has resumed operations. This 1 ?thought for the Chief of Polioe.

Cocoalno it i not now being used and there is no pain, It is mental occupation that renders the General wakeful." TIIE I..AST CONSULTATION Of Grant's Phy?lct*n??They Decide Not U Um the Knife. New York, March 19.?The following will appear in tbo Medical Rtmrd of Mareb 21st: During the past week the local disease of General Grant has shown no maked tendency toward progressive ulceration. At the recent weekly consultation Dr. Fordyco Barker was unavoidably absent. Doctors J. H. Douglas, Henry B. Sands and George F. Shrady, who were present, made a thorough examination of the General's throut with a view of discussing the expediency of a radical .surgical operation for the removal of the growth. Such a measure would involve a division of the lewor faw in tho uiedion line, tho extirpation uf the entire tongue and the greatest part of the soft palute, together with the removal of the ulcerated and inliltered fauces and indurated glandular structures under the right angle of the lower jaw. Xnia was considered mechanically possible, despite the close proximity and probable involvement of the tissues adjoining the largo arteries and veins in the neighborhood of the ulcerations, but in the best interests of the distinguished patient tho Biiri!eon8 did not feel iuelined to recommend the procedure. Kven by such means there could be no guarantee in view of the exteiibivesiirromiuiugof itifilteraiion that the limits of disease could bo reached without immediato risk of a severe shock to his constitution, already much enfeebled. Low vital power is such a strong elemeutin the disease that for the present, at least, no kind of operation will be undertaken. Tbo ulceration on the tide of the tongue has not progressed far onough to produce tho usual intolerable pain associated with that condition, but should the latter symptoms uppear it may be deemed advisabln to divide the gustatory nerve. The goneral tono of the putient's system remains about the same as at tho last report, notwithstanding he hss suffered muclifrom insomnia. The latter within tho last day or two has been kept under control by suitable anodynes. There is no pain in swallowing, and siilUcient food is taken with reasonable relish. A I'UII.ADBl.l'IIIA OPINION. The Dlneiwe Minutely Deftortbed?How Longtlie Pntiont Mny Live. 1'uti.adei.ruiA, Pa., 11a ch 10.?The Philadelphia Jfrtftcof AVin of this week will say editorially concerning the disease from which General Grant is suffering: "Lingual epithelioma, ig; a rule, rapidly progresses towards a fatal termination. When left to itself the life of the patient from the first appearance of the disease, varies in accordance with the esti mates of different obat-'rvers?from ten to thirteen montlis, the average being eleren to seven months. Death ensues, first, from a generalization of the disease. Secondly, from septic pneumonia from the inhalation of putrid emanation which results from the decomposition produced by, the ulcerated surface. Thirdly, from starvation through the pressure of the infected lympathetic glands, and surrounding parts under the ussopbagus, thereby interfering with the deglusionj and lastly, from hemorrhage ! proceeding from the ulcerated lingual arteries or vessels of the neck.. The duration of the life of those who survive the operation averages nineteen months. Not , only docs operative interference prolong life and relieve suffering, bnt it effects a final cure in 14 percent of all cases. In attaining these results it must, liow' euer, be remembered that the incision ol l the tongue is attended with a mortality of . 28 percent, the principal dangers being the shock, hemorrhage, utdema of the glottis, septic lung affections, sptemia, and eryi sipelas, some of which risks can be avoid. ed by taking careful precautions during , the operation and bv perfecting antiseptic measures during and after proceedure. 1 When, in addition to the disease, the i tonguo itself, palate and tonsil are int volved, the prognosis is far more grave, , whether the disease will be permitted to nnnme an unaided course, or whether it ' will be subjected to tbe knife. In the t latter even not only will the tongue have . to be extirpated but the disease of the pal. ate and tonsil will have to be reached. So far as we can learn there is no example oi the performance of a double operation on record, and it is, in our opinion, not JubU' flable1 '' The (ioToruor Out In.

A THK WATEIt WOltKS QUESTION Over at Martiu'a l'orry?A Cllizoit'* View nt It. To iju FAU jr al Ibt InUUtocnccr. 0j Sih: On Saturday, the 21st Inst, the people of Martin's Ferry will vote their ti sentiments on the proposed erection of a n water works, and the issuing of bonds for that purpose to an amount not exceeding J' $100,000. One of the most prevalent fears in the minds of many thoughtful persons, iB that the adoption of the measure would I" increase taxes more than we are now able " to bear. A few suggestions on this aspect ol the case, may, ITiope, be of service in E reaching a conclusion among those who p entertain this apprehension. The cost of water works, estimated from jt carefully prepared plans and specifications, ,v is S7S.OOO, but allowing 5 percent for con- t, tingencies, the cost would be, say $80,000, for which sum there mo now responsible parties ready to give bond fortho con- [, struction of the works. This once secured, " tho expense to the town, aside from the ? bonds, would be annually the interest of the bonds and the running expenses of " tbe works, WHICH would be Uie salaries of ? tlic superintendent and an engineer, coat ? lor fuel, oil, &c., Ac. The Interest on $80,000 at C percent, ia ii $ 1,800 a year. The running expenses ol ci tlie waterworks of Bellaire, for the past w year, were $4,000. But placing ours at the fair allowance of $5,000, the total cost ? yearly would be $0,800, a sum that would >u?> H?v |VH?I MIUUDI jlQIU IU revenue would ho greater than here pre- at sentod, p Now lor the bonded debt of $80,000. Suppose the redemption of the bonds com- ?| menced five year? hence and continued twenty years, their payment would not bo a Berious matter, if we but consider the help to be derived from the following sources: 1. The increase in our population, say . at the not rapid rate of u percent yearly. |V 2. The reasonable, if not, indeed, ab- " ioluto,certainity,alno distant day, of supplying water to our neighboring towns of k .Ktnavilio, Bridgeport and KIrkwood, 0 with tlicir combined population of 4,000, h who are looking forward with peculiar interest to the issue with us of the 21st inst. A This supply, too woMkl be mado at small p extra cost ta us, tor fuel, compared to the tl VUOWik' of revenue returned, These towns will never consent lo drink the sewage constantly flowing Into the Back h river, all the worse on account of the dam; i, Unit tiicy inovitably look to us /or their j. water Hupply.
