The sur prise over the President's appoint ments reached its climax this morn ing when it was known 5 that, a Mr. Phelps,4 of Vermont, had been nomi nated Minister Plenipotentiary to the court of Great Britain. "Who is Phelps t" "Does - Cleveland expect to carry Vermont ?" "What next t" were sample queries. On enquiring among New England ; then it was learned that Mr, Phelps is a citizen of Burlington, about sixty .years' of age, and son of the '.late Senator Phelps; that he is an able lawyer, a gentleman of cu .ture and refin jment, a fine.epeaker, especially after din ner, and that altogether the appoint ment is one to delight the New Eng land heart and reflect credit upon the administration. A Mugwump correspondent tells me, "you may say he is the most elegant Democrat in New England." - The other mem bers for foreign missions do not re quire an introduction. - It is quite useless to attempt to dis guise the fact that t here is intense worry among office seekers over the delay in getting action upon their, cases. With one accord they insist that the administration shall pro ceed iribtanter to throw every Repub lican out and put a working Demo crat in his place. The first man ap poinu d from North Carolina by offi cial influence was Mr. McGaskill, of Sal isbury. whose appointment as " a postal deck was secured tod.iy by Representative ; Henderson. When Mr. Henderson reported his good luck to a group of North Carolinians at the Capitol he was congratulated upon having drawn the first blood. I learn that Col Ham. v Jones' pam pers were filed today. It may be -of interest to state that this contest will not be decided by the delegation, but will be left with the administration. Regarding the position of the two Senators, it is understood that Gov. Vance endorses Col Jones for the po sition of District Attorney. Gen. Ransom has endorsed the- character and standing of all -the gentlemen who are in the race. : "J ,:1 - Maj. Dowd is here. After close ex aminatiou I am confident that he will be the collector of revenue in the 6th district. A member of Congress said today, however, that there was doubt -"-The -nomination of Col. Set tle for Marshal will be sent Co the Senate with the" next batch, Mr. Busbee's nomination for District Ats .torney for the Eastern District wiil also noou be made. It is a positive fact that Col. Andrew J. Boyd is to bo collector in the 5th district. OA R. F. Artnfbid i said to be in the fight for District Attorney. Mr Rybinson, of Wadesboro, who was here on Saturday, is a candidate for collector in the 4th district. The Raleigh postmastership was fully discussed today, the matter coining up on the proposition to hold a primary election for the purpose of deciding upon the nominee. Gen. Cox's letter was the theme of general comment, and the idea of primaries condemned. The candidates for the postmastership" are Messs.' Ashe, Fleming, McPoeeters and Anderson. Gen. Cox. isj for Mr. Ashe. Hon. Allen T. Davidson is under ' stood to be desirous of. a Territorial Judgeship. Mr, Bencher is backed in his appli cation for the Mexican Secretary hip by Mr. Manton Mirble and oth er New York influence, and by dele. gate Hanzanares, of New. Mexico. If strong endorseinent will avail, it, would seem that he must get the aps pointnient. - - Gen. It. B Vance is spoken of for several positions, .one .being that of Register of the -Treasury Others think he will certainly receive oue of the three thousand chief . clerk ships " Col. Sloan has prospects of getting an eighteen hundred dollar place in the State Department, with some probability ' of ultimately securing the chief clerkship of thw division, which includes1 the library and rolls of the department. Col. J: M. McClouil. of- Asheville. returned from New York yesterday passing through this city. Gen. W.'R.-Cox. went home last night ' : ' : Dr, Hill and Mr. Owen IJolmes, of Goldsboro, are here. The former is an applicant for the pobitjon of post master. . I regret to learn that Senator Vance's throat U worm, and that there is some anxiety felt as .to its aesuming a more malevolent form of the disease, pharyngitis, with which he has been afflicted since t he memo rable campaign of 1876. - -' .

New Yoek, March 23 Gen. Grant's "callers yesterday, numbered , fifteen., He was quite fatigued by meeting go many persons. He-retired between 9 and 10 o'clock this morning, from which hour be, slept none. He took food during the "night, and this fore noon,! "after daybreak, be dozed at intervals in his chair and chatted with his daughter, Mrs, Sartoris, dur ing the forenoon. The patient is not feeling as strong today as yesterday, owing to excitement yesterday and wakefulness last nicht. He will not again be permitted to receive as many callers in one day as was - the" case yesterday. - . . v . - Gen. Grant is reading more about; the trial of James D. Fish than any body can who relies on the published reports, for the "newspapers squeeze each day's proceeding into a quarter to half a column; while he v gets a stenographic - verbatim report. Tbis is provided to him. on his urgent re quest by order of Judge ; Benedict, who is presiding in the United States Court where Grant and Ward's silent partner is being tried -for violating the banking laws, The short hand notes of the testimony are taken to the General's house every ; evening and read to him. f It was through Fish's connection ; with the swindle that Grant was drawn into it. He was president, of a leading bank, a financier of reputed solidity and poss seesed of considerable wealth. There, fore, when he seemed to trust young Ward implicitly, Grant blindly fol lowed .his example." To this day Grant is not clear in hi3 mind wheth er Fish was Ward's confederate or victim, though now almost brought to the former view, and be is a self constituted jury, determined to con vict - or acquit the prisoner on the evidence. t ' r.- ' -; .- . ; Gen. Grant's inability to sleep cor-ies not so much from condition of the body as from unrest of the mind. He has i firmly rooted that he is going out in disgrace and under a cloud, and all that his friepds can say to him in no wise changes this belief. He talks very freely with certain of his intimates on the subject; and he tells them of his mortification and chagrin, THAT HE SHOULD HAVE BEES DUPED BY WARD, ; ' and that so " many persons should have lost money by him. lie thor oughly understands, and indeed it is the trutli that Ward used the name of Grant to carry on his schemes, and that many persons were led into them becau3 thoy had confidence in Grant. And so Grant, with a mental disease upon him, and eon scious that his end i3 at hand, rests with wakeful eyes day in and day out and thinks, thinks, thinks. He tells hfa dearest friends that the re sponsibilities of battle and of lead ing the armies of the nation gave him no such concern as has this Ward business, that rest in the White House in the critical period when the c ua try was recovering from the ef fects of civil war was sweet compared to the re3t that Las come to hiua in the last nine months. lie had hoped that fortune might in some manner smile on him so that he might return to those who have List the money thus wasted. He would write, he would work, he would do anything to remove t his stain from the family, But he is attacked by a disease that must prove fatal, and soon he became too weak and too sick to stir out of the house. So he silently and grim ly and without a word of complaint keeps to his couch and to his easy chair, and thinks. He mourns be cause he cannot make restitution, and because he is helpless. It preys upon him so that he cannot sh'ep. He knows that he must die soon, and he is oppressed with the thought that he is in disgrace because of the fail ure of the firm of Grant Sc Ward, through the dishonesty of one of the partners Us does not seem to fear death, hU friends'sy. but he does desire to nwke good ail the Iofss sustained by 'Grunt & Ward. This thought; and tlin idea that he is in disgrace is hastening hia death. ; The New York newspapers have set on Gen. Grant what they term j THE DEATH WATCH. ' He may-die at any moment, and he may be alive three, months hence. But when h9 does die the newspapers must instantly have the news, hence some OBe must watch the house for the newspapers all the time. The chief papers have, therefore, hired a convenient room close to the Giant residence, and there ai day and all niht sit a group of reporters, wait ing for Gen. Grant to die. They have books' and a card table, and the daily newspapers, and whatever oc curs to them may be of aid to help -pas away the wearisome bourB. They are well paid for their trouble,' and among them are soma of the most trustworthy newspaper men in the city.f It is very responsible work, and men who are of irregular habits and who drink" are not selected for it. At stated hours in the day and night the Grant mansion is visited, and. Col, Fred Grant tells; the res porters how the General has passed the preceding hours, v Twice a day and just before midnight the phy sician's are seen, and, they tell the re porters the condition of'tbeir distin guished patient. - The work speedily becomes reduced to system, and the plan renders both the family and the physicians much more freedom than when the bell was rung twenty-five times a day by the representatives of the, press in pursuit of information. The newspaper headquarters in Grant's case has become, noted al ready, and is bound to become more so as time runs oh. Probably it will not be kept open so long as was the room in which the reporters waited so long for the dea h or Com. Vauder bilt There t he watch was kept up for . just seven months, and a jolly time indeed the boys had.; The room became a club room, known to half the newspaper men jn town, and they dropped in and out, and played cards and had a good time generally Charles O'Conor, too, gave the press of JiTew York much trouble and ex- pense, and ended it by getting well instead of dying. When years after--ward-he did die at Nantucket he got a very brief notice. Another notable newspaper wait wan in the long ab sence of the - jury in the Beecher Tilton suit. There, too, a room was hired. and tbe newspaper men all used it while waiting for -the verdict that never came. The chief newspa pers have obituary notices of Gen. Grant, descriptive of his last days, headings, and everything save the bare announcement of death, all set in type and made up, ready to rush but' an extra with all possible haste after the fatal moment' is announced. ;. lrst on All Nides By malaria, how shall we esaape the dread fijreo tioii?
