The conolnsion of the doctors wns lhat tho affliolion was aggrat area by smoking, and they recommended that the General curb his appetite. Thij lie d id. redBdng his quota of cigars tt half ..t ,,n n Aav iTtnlet this abstinonoO he

imp roved. The tioublo hits now returned

in a mora viuiem lorxu, um -- i'--Trtilu tbnt it is a oanceronb affection. That it is so tho doctor do not deny. Gen. Grant's financial affairs were materially straightened yesterday by the generens gift of William H. VandorbiK, who transferred the bills of sale end mortgages on Gen. Grant's estate to Sirs. Grant in trust. Tho money king's generous intentions were first mealed iu the following letter: No. 040 Fifth" Avenue, Jan. Jo. lssS. M r. Vtvsset F. Grant Dear Madaos: Bo many misrepresentations have appeared in rcirard to the loan made b? mto Gen. Grant and l edeoting Unjustly upon him and myself that it seems

advocated by Mr. Davis; but I believe he was as true, as loyal to tho cause ho espoused as ever was wlCc to husband, or religious votary to the God ho worshiped ." He expressed his earnest opinion tbat Gen. Sherman was mistaken in the assertion tbat the people of the Confederate States did not sympathlzo with their leader in the terrible contest. "We have no more use," ho sold, "for tho pi-rsonal opinions of General Sherman than a hroud has lor a coffin." Ur. Hawley expressed his opinion that General Sherman was in the light, both on tlie personal and milit ry side of this controversy. These papers established clearly to his (Hawley'si mind that there were was a deliberate conspiracy hero in the city of Washington as early as 1801 for the establishment of a Southern Confederacy; that it was determined to make it hcail.,nar;eri at Montgomery, and that Missis Mason and Slidoll were deputed to attend to this, while other Senators remained here to attend to legislation. Mr. Morgan said although it was true Mr. Davis bad engaced In war against the United States, be was no more guilty in that, rospect tuau himself tMorgan) and many Sciiato s, and Mr. Davis was still beloved by millions in this country. What connection had Gen. Sherman with the army of the United States that authorized him to make reports to that department'.' If tha Senate published Gen. Sherman's attack it could not in justice refuse to publish Mr. Davis' reply. Mr. lniml s said whenever any question arose in which Jefferson Davis was involved the Democratic part; could always be found on the side or Jefferson Davis. They had just witnessed the spectacle of a President of tbe United States, ele-tcd by gentlemen who declared Jefferson Duvis to be a man of honor and a patriot This was no laoro personal controversy than it would be n personal controversy with the descendants of Aaron Burr to apply similar epithets to their ancestor. If tho facts disclosed by Gen. Sherman, that members, of this Senate met in a private room ard sent three of their number mot two, as erroneously stated by Mr. Hawley1, viz.. Messrs. i-;lide!! Mallory, and Davis, to make arrauR ments lor the establishment of a Confederacy, while other Senators remained here to carry on If gislutlon if that was not a conspiracy, in the name ot God what was it .' Mr. Lar.iar aid the issue between these two distinguished men, Mr. Davis and Gen. Sherman, was not the issue stated by the Senator from Ohio. The insue wa. this: Gen. Shei num. led away by his f elines, stated he bad seen a l-'tter from JotTersnn Davis to a Senator now on the floor, asserting that if a certain Stale should sect-do from the Confcdracy ho would put that down by military force. That statement was false, and this was the Issue. Iu a petition presented to the Senate Mrs. Belva A . Loi-kwood asked that tho electoral vote of Indiana be given to her She also demanded that the voto of New York bo thrown out, on the ground that if the votes polled in that State for hor had not been counted for one Grover Cleveland the latter would not have carrie 1 the election. The House of Representative. passed a bill appronrlattns f 50,00 to erect a building in Chicago for the use of tbe appraiser of merchandise. Bills were introduced for tho esfiblishmcnt of a Soldiers' Homo in California; for a t7.,000 public building at Madison, Ind ; to transfer one of the Greely relief vessels to the revenue service; and to appropriate -i,ono,ooO toward tlie enlargement of tbe Eric and OsweEO Canals to a capacity to pass war vessels. A bill was passed to prepare a criminal code for the District of Columbia. Sksatok H a wi.ey's resolution calling upon

In isu bis gtepfathe , Mr. Matthews, was elected County Auditor, and removed to South Bend, bctiyler was app intcd" his deputy, and began to study law; but after serving two years an Senate reporter for the Indianapolis .Stale Journal ho established in 1845 a weakly paper at South Send, called the St. Joseph I'allry Jt'tiiter, of which ho was both proprietor and editor. In politics it supported the Whig party, and in 184H Mr. Colfax was sent as a delegate to the Whig National Convention it Philadelphia, of which body he was elected Secretary. In 15 j ho was a member of tho Indiana State Constitutional Convention, in which he spoke and voted agaiust the clause prohibiting free colored persons from entorini; tlie Stat-. . In 1831 ho was candiiiat- for Congress, snd was defeated only by a majority of 210, though his district was strongly Democraic. Iu 1:2 ixe was a deleeate to the Whig National Convention at Baltimore, which appointed him Its Secretary. Two j'cars later he was elected a representative in Congiess by the newly formed Republican party, and was re-elected for tbe six following terms. In 1KT6 be supported Mr. Fremont for President, and durinx tbe canvass a speech made by him in Congress on tho extension of slavery and the itKRiession of the slave power wi s circulated to the extent of more than half a million copies. In the Thircr-fifth Congress Mr. Colfax was made Chad man of the Committee on Posto trices and Postroads, Ulch place he continued to occupy until hi- election Decern ber 7, IKK), as Speaker of the Thirty-eighth Congiess. ..He was re-elected Speaker again in 1805, and again in 1807. In 16C5 ho made a journey across the continent to the Pacific coast, and in May, isss. the Ppnblican isatioual Convention at Chicago nominated him fcr Vice President ot the United States, with Gen. Giant as candidate for President, lie received Si! vofi.s ot the 030 that, were polled by the convention, and was elected in November: and on March 4, 1809, he was inaugurated Vice President, and Uok his seat as President of the Senate. In 1870 he wrote a letter which was published, declaring his intention to retire from public iife as soon as his term of Vice President had expired, lie was subsequently led to change this determination, and at tbe Republican National Convention a: Philadelphia, in 187-2, be was a candidate tor the nomination as 'ice President and rece.ved sills votes, S81'.. being given to Henry Wilson, of Massachusets, who was accordingly nominated on the first ballot, and chosen in the subsequent Presidettial elect!, n. In 187 1 Mr. Colfax was implicated in charges of corruption bronsht against many members of Congress, but. the Judiciary Committee of the House reported on Feb. 24, 1873, iliac there was no ground for the impeachment of Mr. Colfax, since, if there had been any oi'.ense committed bv him, it was before he b. came Yico President, Since that time lie has taken no i,rt in politics, but has frequently appeared as a public lecturer. OTHER HEATHS. Earl of Aylesford, A recent dispatch from Big Springs, Tex., announces the death at that place ot tho Earl of Aylesford. Uis disease was acute Inflammation of the bowels.

Senator , Brown rose to a personal explanation. He never . disobeyed an order of the President of ths Con- ; federate States which he had a right to give. ' There had been a wide difference of opinion between Mr. Davis and himself as to the constitutionality ot (he j conscript act, but ho never sought to obstruct it. Mr. Hawley, in support of Gen.

the constant companion oi mo prince, una mc adventures of the two men in London and on tho continent wonld be quite as wicked readiag as tho memoirs of George IV. When His Roval Highneas made his well-remembered journey to India he took Ayleafold with him, and together they did tho Orient in gorgeous style, and very often the Earl has told the cowboys, as they sat around the camp-fire i t uight. the incidents of the titfer-hunt and other eifjoyments of the royal tour. The Prince e -ased to sow wild oata and settled down to comj arativc docility, but tho Earl kept up the spree, uutit about a year ago he found himself tlu,00o,O:M iu debt, snd defendant in a very disreputablo divorce case. His lovely wife had ths sympathy of everybody, and his creditors were protected by the courts. The estates, which was entailed, was placed In the hands of a conservator for the benefit of hia creditors, and the Earl was given an allowance of J-w.oOO a year, with whioh he came to America in tho summer of I88-I lor rest and much-needed recuperation. Under the patronage of Jay Gould the young Earl went to Texas, whore he bought 37,nco aires of sraiing land, upon which be erected a plain house, which he tarnished in a style becoming tho section of the country in which it is located. Here, with two brothers and su h c ngr nlal spirits as he chanced to fall in with, the Earl has spent most of his time, his life being anything but that ot an autocrat. Ho acquired quite a popularity with his cowboy neighbors, and was regarded by them as a great acquisition to the country. Governor Hale, or Wyoming, Governor William Halo, of Wyoming Territory, died at Cheyenne, after a linirorinit illness from kidney complication. Ho was appointed Governor by President Arthur, Aug. 3, IK83. His former residence was at Glenwood. Iowa. He was 48 years old; William W. O'Brien. William W. O'Brien, one of tho most noted criminal lawyers in tha West, died at his home iu Chicaao, of peritonitis. Ho was born in Leltrim, Ireland, May ai, 1S34, and received a common parish education. In 1854 he came to tho United States, and for a time remained in New Orleans. The next year he snttled in Peoria, 111., and was employed as a porter at one ot the hotels. He studied law, was admitted to the bar. and rapidly went to tho front as a jury advocato. In 1874 he removed to Chicago, whoie, although handicapped by unfortunate social bablts, he did an immense practice. . Mr. O'Brien was in bis Msv ycar Isalali Kynders. Capt.

Yon and a went me, within a few days after that', time, fltseds to your joint properties to cover tills obligation, and urged my accepUUMS on the ground that this was the only debt of honor which the General had pewonally incurred, and these deeds I returned. During my alisenco in Europe the General delivered to my attorney mortgaaes upon all his own real eHt.te. bis household effect", and swords, medals, and works of art, which were memorials or his victories and presents from governme its all over th world. Tbese securities were, In his judjrracnt, worth $150,000. At his Mllcitatiou tha necessary steps were taknn by judgment, etc., to reduce these properties to posnejsion , and the articles mentioned hat e been this day bought in by me, and the amounts bid applied to the reduction of the dent. Now that I am at liberty to treat these things as mr inrn, tae deposition o! the whole matter most in aoeord with my feeling is this: I present to yon, as your separatA estate, the debt and judgment I hold i.gainit Gen.

When Mr. VanderbUt found that Sus otter was defeated by the refusal of Mrs. Grant to accept he determined to take the msittrr ir.to his own hands and apply the estates to the creation of a trust fund that would accrue to hor benefit He announced this intention in a letter as follows: No. 610 FrfTH AVENUE, Jan.

I will, therefore, as fast as the money is received from the soiea of real estate, dcj os.t it in the Union Trust Company. With ths money thus realized I will hi once create with that company a treat wish nmvfaionn for the income to be made
