The actual condition of Con , Grant ia pronounced unchanged alnco the laat bulletin , except that the general Ia Bald by Dr. Douglass to bo growing weaker. Some food has been taken and retained this morning , The patient ia sitting with a slightly inclined head , conscious and clear of mind. Dr. Douglas cent for Dr. Hands. Dr , Douglas anticipates the end Cur ing the day or evening. 12:20 : i ) , m. General ( irant's condition is reported unchanged slnca ! > o'clock , except a gradually increasing weakness. 2 r. M. Dr. Douglas just reported that the patient haa just taken and retained a cup of mill : and tbo physicians think that if there hnj not been a slight rally the past hour , the general is at least holding his own , 2:15 : f. m. The members of tbo general's ' family and Dr. Newman are grouped in a darkened room near the eick inau , Observing evidences of their feelings the general said : * 'I do not want anjbadyto be distressed oh my account. " 3SO : p. m. Drc. Sands and Shrady have just arrived by a special train , which also brought U. S. Orant , Jr. , and wife. The newcomers re paired at once to the cottago. A singular oc- curreuco at the cottage has juit been related hy Dr. Plowman. At five minutes of 1 o'clock Gen. Grant a > ked the hour of the day. "Ono o'clock , " spoke ono of thoionear him. Soon afterward the cottage clock chimed twelve strokes , and the general counted them. Then ho wrote on a pad that ho observed the clock was wrong and deairod to have it etriko the tight hour , which was done , and the instance passed as ono moro of the remarkable episodes of the general's later eickneis. There has been a reoccurrence - renco of hiccoughs today. I p. in. The physicians met at once with Dr. Douglas In consultation after leaving the cottage where they found the general in a critical condition. No ono of the staff is willing to predict anything beyond twenty- four hours , through which period it is deemed impossible that the general can survive , though the probability now is that much less time marks the limit of the general's life. A chnnfo for the worse was anticipated as the day closed. The pulse is now over ono hundred. At 10:30 : , however , it was stated by reliable authority that the general waa in a slightly bettor condition than two hours ago. From the present condition , which borders npon a lethargic state , the uatient may quietly drift into final consciousness. During the afternoon the ex tremities of the sick man have baen cold and in tha visible symptoms are signs that nature puts out when death is chilling the powers. The general , as the night passes , soema to bo suffering no pain , though the lines of his face are tensely drawn and the furrows of tbo brow are knitted as he lion upon the cot be- alde which the family are constantly watch ing. At 1 o'clock the general was not asleep. His bands and forearms were colder than two hours before but his feet were not so much BO. His pulse and respiration bad not changed. The patient 'a mind waa yet clear and comprehensive of the events and utterances about him. Between 10 and 11 o'clock Dr. Bhrady had accosted the genpral and ho answered in a husky voice and promptly. Stimulants were being uaod , but sparingly , and there waa an experience ex pressed by the medical authority about 11 o'clock that the closing crisis may occur either at 1 or 4 o'clock to-night. At midnight Gen. Grant remains yet quiet though not asleep , The coming hour is being anticipated with great anxioty. At midnight bottlea of hot water w ro placed at the gen eral s foot to Induce warmth and mus tard draughts were applied upon the stomach and breast to preserve the flagging circulation. Dr. S mds is resting at the hotel and Dra , Douglass and Shrady are ut the cjttago. 1 a. m , The general remains In the atmo quiet condition. His pulao and respiration are unchanged , and there is a feeling that ho may tide over the midnight season of weak- noda and until 4 a , m. .Hypodermics of brandy are being used , 2 a , m. The family h astir in the cottaRe , though there no visible indications .that point to other conditions than at the time of tbo Ian bulletin. a a. in Gen Grant is In n somnolent con dition. Inspirations have grown shallow and the general IB no longer able to expectorate because of his woaknesr , which ia Increasing , There seems but little potsibility that tbo patient will survive the night. The early morning hours at the Grant cot tage were cool and refreshing. The ther mometer at 2 o'clock thia morning marked 72 ° . this was the equable temperature main tain oil in the nick room while General Grant remained in New York and to it was this morning added the Bweot odor from the pine trees which bend o\or the cottage roof. Agentlo 'bree/o , sweet and delicious swept miles and mlloa down tha valley and from the mounthlns , It stirred the curtains iu the window tear which sat the sick man nnd fanned his face more gratefully than could the careful hands which were waiting near. Between 2 nod 15 a , m. the pray tint of an other day crept up the horizon beyond the green mountain * , perhaps tno laat earthly day of the Blck it nu bitting within tbo cottage par lor. About nnd all round the cottage waa atill and quiet , except the occasional twitter of Borne birds In the birches or pines. Occas ionally Henry , the nurse , wandered out on the plazit for fresh air and a glimpse of thn night Once at about II o'clock Mrs. Grant , attired In a looio g t n of white came out an the veranda , and teatrd hi-reell in one of the many deserted willow chairs which were scattered In group ) about the piazza. Ten minutes she sat motionless and looked away to the east , where tno gray tint of another day bad grown to full promise. Her face rested upon one hand and eho was evidently wrapped iu the folds of thought. Suddenly there cama a sound ot a laboring , rattlioc cough from within. It was the gen eral clearing the affected parts of his throat o ! mucus , Mrs. Grant left the piazza quickly and seated herself by the general' * side , dlowly fanning the ick man' * face. Uhe coughing waa not nevero but incidental Col. Fred. Grant entered tbo room while the nurse wa aiding the general and took i place beside and Unbind hu father The morning had passed three o clock and the time had come to administer food , The nurse touched the shoulder of Dr Douglas aa be lay asleep on a couch in tin same room. Ho arose and administered fooe and afterwards cleansed the general's throat Ai tha phyniciau laid anda appliance again ( Jan. Grant leaned forward in the chair am ngniGe'l a desire tint the lamp should be brought. The nurse brought the lamp and held It at the sick man'n shoulders , and at tb moment the general turned hla face toward tha light and upward to bid the nurse bring pad and pencil , His wish was not instantly understood , and turning a trllla farther the general repeated the wish , This time hia low , husky whisper wai inter , proted and the pad nnd pencil were brought. He wrote but briefly on the slip which ho handed to Dr. Douglas , who at once pansod it to Cnl , Grant , It wag a prlvato family com munication , After writing the general re sumed a half reclining petition. At 5 o'clock Dr , Douglas wan a.'ousod anil sent a Mimmoiu for Dr. bands , and the general settled down In the chair and dc7 d , Dr. Sands was sum moned only tint \d might slmro the responal- b.lity nt tbo close of the niehtand not with the thought that any bid could ba rendered by him or any ono during the day. Stimulants were pi von the general Lut he grown weaker huir by hour , The morning Ia clear and mercury nt 11 the thermometer registered 80 degrees. All visi tors are kept from the cottage and a Sabbath day quiet prevails about the spot. Dr. Now- nun is with the family , who ara nuletly waiting the end , The general's mind con tinued coherent and clear. He sits much of Iho tlmo as ho did last night with his eyes closed. U. S. Grant , jr. , ia expected to ar- rlvo this afternoon , when the family circle will ba complete. Dr. Douglas has just left the cottage and says the general's pulse la very weak and flut tering. The patient , once during the morn ing , attempted to write but succeeded in writ ing only the date , tlio effort being greater than the little remaining strength warranted. Ho has spoken at Intervals but hia voice ia very feeble. During the forenoon food waa taken and retained. With the declining day the physician believes the general will also rapidly decline. The development of the general's ' weakness during the afternoon waa not particularly noticeable from hour to hour but between It auJ U o'clock thora v\aa a clearly , though not violently , marked increase of weakness. At 8 o'clock it was possible to measure the pulao beats but at G o'clock one of the physicians stated that the puleo boats could not be counted IIPCMHO they were BO frequent and fetb'.o. During the afternoon the blood tide had so quickened that it moro rapidly were the system and exhausted the frail bisi ? , if any existed , upon which might ba placer n hope that tlm general might ra' ly. The point was reached at fi o'clock when there was little to bo expected from attempts to administer food. Soon after G o'clock Hnirison came up from tbo cottage and told Doctors Sands and Shrady that Dr. Douglas desired to BOO them at tha cottago. Thither wont the doctors , lemaluing but a short time and then coming again to the hotel. The family , beginning G o'clock , came to the hotel to dinner in twos , the others re maining at tha cottngo in the mean timo. The family dined In a private room set apart for their use at the hotel , in order , at this critical time , that they might bo secluded from tbo curious observation of many visitors md guests with whom the general's condition _ 'rom hour to Lour had been the topic of the day. The closed and silent cottage all day suggested mutely the enactment of the last cone in Gan. Grant's earthly existence. As the sun went down a cool breeze Hko Jiat of last night sprang up and again laymen on the mountain endeavored to persuade bemselvea and others that a cool nlplit would iring renewed strength to the patient and ialp him rally thi o'jgh the night. But such vas not the opinion oi the doctors who were prepared to attend tbo general's death-bed at i moment's notice or to wait through the lours and into the night for the end. Moro ban that , they were prepared to find ho patient nlivo In the morninp. At 7 ' 'clock , however , as the three physicians were jt dinner , Harrison came to the hotel and called Dr. Douglas , who went at once nnd nlonn to tha cottago. Soon afterward another nessenger from the cottage summoned Drs. Shrady and Sands , and they repaired to the ottago , closnly followed by Dr. Newman. ? fce exits of the doctors ar tte clergyman rom the hotel were , IIOR , ver , so quietly fleeted that few know they had been sum moned to the cottage. Arrived there , they ound the general evidently sinking. The -cneral seemed restless. "Would you like to lie down , father ? " asked Col. Grant , who noticed the restlessness , Tha general nodded ind nt the same moment essayed to rlso unas- itted. But the effort waa too much for htm , and ba Bank back Into the chair , and the colonel and the nurse aided him to arise , and hen supported him to his bed , where hu waa carefully lowered to a reclining position and mrtly on hia face. Dr. Douglas then rolled he chairs back , and one of the physicians laa since remarked that the general has now eft his chair for the last time. The belief ii that the general baa at length am down to die. The family are all gathered at the aide of the sick man and again Dr. Bowman , at about the same hour aa last night and at Mrs. Grant's request , knelt beside the reneral and prayed. Heads were bowed and lilent tears were on the chocks of the men as well as the women. The doctors sat some what apart and the family was near its fast sinking head. Then , after an hour , death seemed little less rapidly gaining on -l the man it has pursued just nine nontha to-day for it ia just nine months ago to-day that Gsn , Grant walked Into Dr. Douglas's ollicu to seek hia profes it sional aid for the rancor that haa done what Foes and war could not Then the doctors and the clergyman strode out upon the piazza and sat near the parlor window and Jeeso Grant joined them at times , but the other members of the family remained in the sick room and watched and waited , while the gen eral answered "yea" and "no" to several questions. Time pmcd slowly indeed and at length at i15 ; o'clock Dr. Douelas loft the cottago. "How is It , doctot ! " wai asked him , "lie is dying , " said the gray haired phyician , "Will ho live an hour1 was asked again. "Oh ! yea. nnd poasibly more , but he is passIng - Ing away1 was the response , and after a lit tle tlmo at the hotel Dr , Dou laa returned to the cottage. At U o'clock tht ) general's pulse waa up to the point of 105 beats to tbo minute and fluttering. After his rally , and about 9 o'clock , Gen. Tirant tank into a sleep that was described by a witness as the peaceful and beautiful sleep of a child. This condition , however , Ia not ono to command jnfidence , for the pulao boata are atill rapidly fluttering , and the res piration , which normally la 11 to the minute , is now 41 , I'lio Mercury HUH Way Up.

II1E NATIONAL VAVlTA.li WOHK OF THE OAIIINET , Special Telegram to The DEE , WASHINGTON , July 22. There was n para- raph sent Monday about the removal of an owa man by Comtnisiionor Atkins on ac- ount of an effort made by him to commit ribory , which proves incorrect In some par- iculars. The facts ara that J , J. Franey , of Council Binds , was lately appointed Indian rader. His father , 13. u , Franoy , has been n town a good while trying to get an ap- itppolntmont as Indian agent. Congressman Jero Murphy told Congressman Fredericks but Franey had offered him ( Murphy ) 85lO f Murphy could help him pet the ippointment In the Indian service. .Todericks repented this to Commissioner Uklna , wbo rcmombcrod that the application f n man named Franoy had been before him , , ho son being in bis mind , nnd ho at orco rave orders to the appointment division to lang the matter up till further orders , If i'r.uioy had not been appointed. The com- nlsilonor looked into the matter a little moro , o-day and found out that it was Frauey , the other , who was accused , and it wai the son vlioin ho had appointed nn Indian trader , The commissioner said that tf bo found any- hing dubious about J. ,1 , Franey'a reputation ie shall remove tha young man at ouco , but bat if ho appeared to be nil right ho would lot remove him on account tf any quarrel lotweou his father and Congressman Murphy. Young Franey was appointed on the recom- nendntion of Van Manning , ex-congressman rom Mississippi , Speaker Carlisle and Mayor Vaughn , of Council lilutls. As soon as Com missioner Atkins got to the department to day ho sent for Manning and told him what ie had board. Manning leplied that hero was not n particle of easou for suspecting the young man of anything crooked ; that if the old man tried o bribe Murphy It was in order to get place or himself , and not to get a place for his son , and that Murphy and the senior Franoy had tad a bitter quarrel , and Franey slapped Vlurphy's face , oa F street in this city a few weeks ago , and this was probably all the oundation that there was for the charge of iribery. Atkins has taken no action In the case yet , but he will have Franey thoroughly nvestigated. Ho will not punish him for any Ins his father may have committed , but he will remove him Inatantly if he finda any OOBOII to doubt the young man's honesty. The pieeidont to-day appointed the follow- ng postmaatere : William J. Fleming , Fort Smith , Ark. , vice J. K. liarnes , suspended ; lenry Cook , Michigan City , Ind. , vice J , I' .

After mature con- ideration , the president nnd cabinet have eached the conclusion that the leases of lands n the Indian territory , held by cattlemen , are invalid , and It haa b en determined to ako steps to have them set aside. Gen. Sheridan has reported that no permanent sot- leraent of Indian territory can ba effected vhile the cattlemen are in possession of tbo lest landa , and it is the intention of the presi- lent to remove tbo distributing element and oservo Indian terrltoiy for the exclusive oc cupation of the Indians. The method of pro cedure has not yet boon determined. A presl- lentlal proclamation may issue , but It is re garded by well-informed persons as moro irobable that the action will bo begun In the Jnited States courts of the west division of taneas , having jurisdiction over the territory , coking to a declaration of the invalidity of leases.

The mestion of a man's military service entered into the consideration of nearly every appli cant for every oflico , , nnd was given much weight.

' " Ten or twelve years ago an act was assed by the legislature making it a mla- omonnor to kill sea lions anywhere within a one-mtlo radius of Sea Hock , nd over elnco that tlmo the aoa lion haa oen regarded as a privileged character. , nlvo or six years ago the iiah Industry rat began to assume important dlmen- , OIIB : ; It WAS then that canneries began oC loom up , and In the course of three cars folluwing grew to really gigantic roportlon- . Firms In this city engaged n foruialilng supplies ot all descriptions o fishing outfits did an Immense btisl- esa , and the outlook became as promts njj na that of any Industry on tlio cast. Soon , however , the aoa lion nnia- 01ni nco manlfcstod Itself , and at the present 1 mo the fish industry In and around San- rancleco bay la nearly paralyzed. The sea lion la a lever of luxury , which oubtlcss means to that species of animal ; fo a place to lounge on the eunny tide if some ragged clil ! ' , and plenty to cat irovldod by somebody else. During the ay the animals are soon In great abnn- anco floundering about the rocks near ho Cliff IJouao , but toward night they Isnppear and in immense bands flock In- o thu bay through the entrance at the olden Gate. The fishermen usually tort out about 4 or 0 o'clock in tha af- ernoon to sot their nets and do tlio groat- r part of their work between that hour ml midnight. The aoa lions seem o ) lave comprehended the processes of the iahormen and evidently lie In wait for heir approach. When a net \a \ not thoeo nrlously Intelligent croaturca lirat make heir presence known by a low grunt and slowing noiao along the surface of the water , and in n moat Incredibly short ; pace of time ilczana and hundreds tf ompaulons appear. They rush at the uots , celao the fish , tear them loose rom the meshes and devour them with the rapidity of machines. If tbo and happens to bo few In numbers , not qnal to the consumption of all the flah the nets which they attack , they will ear the fish out and play with them , omotlmee , many fuat In the air , and ithtftwlso destroying the game of the In- lustrlous fishermen BO that It is not an mcommon oscurronco for the hungry ollora of the bay to lift 150 fathoms of ' net without securing a single fieh.

Kx-Secrotnry Robeaon passe J through Boston to-day , and during hia brief stay was seen by n Journal reporter , who asked him to speak of tlio fail ure of John Reach and Its causes. His time was too short for nn extended interview , but he expressed his Ideas of the subject briefly. "It was what mi ht have been expected , " hu anid ; "in fact , what must have happened under the circumstances. Roach , from the magnitude ol his transactions , HJO compelled to carry on much of hia budnoss on credit , and when the United States government sot itself against him his credit was gone , and ho wn driven , iu Belt-defense , Into bankruptcy. Roach's position as a business man bos for many years been wonderful , when It ia con sidered that ho mada It Rololy by Ids own ex ertions. What Roach's roeourcoa nro no jlliora , of course , can know ; but ho always appeared to bo a wealthy man , and no doubt was what lie eucmod. Only the force of circumstances boa put him into the present position. When tht whole question ia summed up it amounts , . tote thla , that by breaking him down it is hoped * * to hasten the introduction of free ships. Ho altvnys had been opposed to letting in ships fro of duty and naturally haa had free tra ders and tariff , revisers agalast him and through the navy department they have ap parently crushed him. "Thoro is prevalent siisapprebcnsion , " con tinued Robsson " ' , "concerning Hoach'a con nection with the navy department daring the years : I waa its secretary , The fact is , con sidering Roach's.facilltise , ho had two of the best yards in the country , he did not have hia share of the work that Traa coatrncted. When four double turrotted monitors wore constructed- Roach "had only one , the Miantonomob ; another went wont to Cramp , the third to Hunt and Hol- lin < s'BWorth and the fourth was built in Cali fornia. When the engines for tha eight sloops weio to ho constructed Roach did not bid for them , Tha Atlantic works of Boston put in the lowest olfrr , but it was for only two. In lils dilemma , Roach , who was approached , sail : "I don't want this work , but it no ono else will take it at that price , I will. " The work was offered at the figures named to other concerns , and all ofit taken by them. In those eight years Roach built more than em hundred iron ehipt , not moro than five of which were for the United States. In fact , but a small percentage of his work has over been for the government , " Che" Greatest jfodlcftlJriTimph of tie Age I SYMPTOMS OF A Iorc ofnrpctltt , Iluirrli coitl ve , Tain In Uio hcnil , with a dull ennntlon In ; thi 6ncU pnrr , 1'iiln undrr tlio rJiOBJiIrr- , Mmle , J'ullncjs after eating , wltJinill - Inclination to exertion of boJy oi nilnil , Irrltnlilllly of temper , /ow iplrltti , rrlth n fnclinuof havlnir nrsloctcil i.on e duty , WcftrincBN , l22lnc'Ai ) & , I'luttcflivz nLtic Uuart , Doti boforollie nycii Jlt.niluchn uv r the rlffbt eye , ItmtlconiMa , with Utful drenniH , lllclilr coloro-l U ; Ine , am ) I COWSTIPATIOP/j. / TUTT'H X'lLr,8 are cspecmU y ntlaplcd. to euch eases , 0110 doao c Hoc la aucli u fc " hnnKiioffcnllnprastonatonliht uosulTsrnr ' , They Ilicrcmo tlie AplietlJe/ cauno the hmly to Tiito oi t'leHliithm tlio nysU'm K ' ciourUlicil.nml hytnolrTouts Action on .
