tho same import as the letter. It is our firm conviction that Mr. Douglass and the colored voters and liepublicans generally of Virginia, aro right in their disposition to support Senator Mahono. The true policy for the colored voters of the South; in States where there is no hone of liepublican success at present, is to support that faction of the Democracy which is favorable to the recognition of their rights, and thus destroy liourbonism.

President Garfield suffered a relapse Friday, caused by a stoppage in the flow of pus, which it was feared would result fatally. Drs. Agnew and Ilamilton, the consulting physicians, were called to Washington, and on Sunday an incision was made near the mouth of tho wound, by -which the pua cavity was emptied, since which the President has been steadily improving. He is now con sidered in better condition than at anytime since ho was shot. Colonel Ii. G. Ingersoll and old Jeny Black do their best to demolish the Christian religion in the August Atlantic. Colonel Ingersoll assails it in his characteristic way, while oia macK covers it an over with slime by a very damaingly hypocritical defense. If there is nobody to defend the religion ot Christ but this old pro-slavery repro bate, Iiis disciples wil. soon be crying, "God savo us from our friends." In his reply to Ingersoli, Black makes a labored defense of human slavery, claiming that it was a Divine institution. The cause' of religion has indeed fallen into bad hands when such old Bourbon flats as JemBlack take a tilt in its favor.. B . . L.' -.. 1 1 WASHINGTON LEIIKKS. Kuiterial Correspondence.

July 27. We have again been subjected to another period of exasperating suspenso in regard to the President. All sorts of rumors have prevailed, and there is a feeling on the street, notwithstanding tho favorable bulletins, that the condition of the President is more serious than tho physicians aro willing to admit. Last night a false rumor that tho President was dying created a deep sensation. The physicians, however, could have no motive for giving other than the true condition of the President. Ex-Senator Conkling called at the White Uouso yesterday, and expressed great pleasure at the favorable turn in tho President's condition. Crowds of anxious people still congregate about tho White House, seeking the least hint from tho sick room of our stricken President's condition. The one sentiment of every heart is a deep, fervent hope for the recovery of tho great sufferer. The attempt to take tho lifo of tho President has evoked a flood of sug gestions and criticisms on the con duct of our civil service. Some fa natical editors and some politicians who have succeeded in crcttincr irood fat offices with patronage to dispense, want to malco it a penal ottenso lor a man to seek a minor omco in tne Government service. It is all right, according to their idea, for distin guished men to seek the high offices within the gift of tho people, but for one belonging to that humble but more numerous class known as the people, to seek an office in tho gift of thoso whom they have elevated to Dower, is criminal. The Critic, of this city, in an able editorial on this subject, states tho facts in the case pre tty1 early in tho following: t4As to omcc seekinff, it is really tho main sprinir of politics in this country. Men desire office, because to serve the public in an official capacity is both honorable and profitable. Tho genius of our system is tho theory that every office within tho public gift is open to tho aspiration of -every constitutionally qualinea citizen, unenmcn aro ciccieu to the Presidency or appointed to the V JA Cabinet, it is as much a part of their duty to attend to tho personnel of the Government or of their respective departments as it is to sicrn laws I, or other public documents. No other scheme could bo devised that would bo republican in form or fact. Tho Government is simply an employer. i. i l :.-t-. a... livery ciuzeu iias an cquui rigiu iu seek employment under the Government, and every officer vested with tho appointing power stands charged with the duty of patiently hearing and decently considering the appli cation ot every citizen who may choose to assert his constitutional right to appl v. The - reason why 11 the Dormanbeaton and Geonrewilliamcurtis nostrums of "Civil Service Rules." and that sort of thinir irenerally, do not meet public approval and J l a( executive auopiion, is Decause wiey aro in theory and effect alike alien to every tenet of our system of Government, and always will be till our lemocracy becomes aristocracy and -WV Iva our Kepubiic a monarchy. The present system is no doubt in need of improvement. The President is subjected to much responsibility in the matter of appointments. The responsibility might be distributed by giving to Cabinet officers tho appointment of tho chief officers in their departments, and to the heads of bureaus tho appointment of tjieir subordinates, all of course being subject to rovision and correction by tho President. The villain Guiteau is not a product of our civil service. Not every man that has- held an office and lost it, not every one that has sought an office and found it not, is to be rated as an outcast with murder in his heart. To believe some of the papers ono would think Guiteau a tvne of tho averaco office holder. Guiteau is the product of his brutal instincts and indulgences. Lt is non sense to be drawiiig civil service les sons from exceptional brutes. Bert. rSomo interesting Washington 1 personals arrived too lato for inser tion this week. hD, 1ieadeb.J

MEN OF THE HOUR.

"Some are born preat, fome achieve areaine, and Komr have greatness thrust vpon thcm."thakpcare. Irr:ROBERT TODD LINCOLN, HECKETABY OF AVAR. Some names so utterly transcend the narrow limit of- party politics that, when they are brought into the field of our glass, they assume a National aspect only. Born of the healthy attri-. tion of all parties, so to peak, and of that lare and benign pnilosophy which sees "sermons iu .tones and good In everything," they are related to humanity as a whole, and only wear a distinctive hadjie because of their tirm conviction that it should, in all essentials, be the badge of mankind. Distinguished anion; such naraci i that of the Illustrious father of tp?:enUeman whose portrait we herewith present to our readers, and who, as all the world knows, fills the Important post of Secretary of War iu the new Administration at Washington. Robert Todd Lincoln was born in SprincfieM, III.. AuRUst 1. 1H-I:i. When but ?evcn years of ace he was sent to the academy of a Mr. Eastbrook, where he remained thrto years, or until he entered the Illinois State University at Springfield. In lJvW he went Eist, and iu the following year entered Phillips' Academy, at Exeter, X. II. Soon afterward he applied for admission to Harvard University, and, liaving passed a most successful examination, was received, without a condition, as a member of the clas of Graduating in this latter year, he entered the Harvard Law School, but left it in lsf. to accent a commission in the U.iited States Army ns Captain and Assistant Adji.tani (ieneral on General Grant's staff. This con-mlssion he resigned shortly afterward, and at once commenced the study of law at Chicago, where he was admitted a member of the bar of Illinois in 1X67. After this he bepan the practice of his profession as a member of the firm of Scammon & Lincoln, but dissolving this partnership, he visited EurotK) in 1872, and-on his return, after a six months' trip, formed a new one with Edward S. Isham,inder the name of Jsham & Lincoln, of which firm he is still a member. In lh76 he was elected Supervisor of the Town of South Chicago, and was a member from Cook County to the Illinois State Convention at Springfield, which nominated delegates to the National Convention held at Chicago last year. He was one of the Electors on the Republican ticket for the State of Illinois, and early in ISN) was chosen by the Governor of the State as one of the Trustees of the Illinois Central Küilroad. On the inauguration of President Garfield he was unpointed to his present high position, in which, so far, he has hai but little opportunity for any display of statesmanship it executive ability, although the party to which he belongs seems to expect much from him in this relation. In m he married Mta Mary Harlan, and he Is an aaVtioiAte father and husband, having now a family of three children Mary, born lsr.l): Abraham, born 1873, and Jessie Harlan, born 1875. Mr. Lincoln, who has been most successful In his profession, is a gentleman of excellent attainments. He is frank and hearty in manner, and no admirer of red tape in cither conversation or business. His address is pleasing, and his filial nrt'eetion. which has of late often been manifested In o certain relation, speaks well for him as a son. He iä thirtv-eight years of age, about five feet nine inches iu lieight, well formed and weighs sonn thing like 11 pounds. His eyes have tiie same mild expression as thoso of his illustrious father, but here all resemblance ceases. His hair is dark, and his beard and mustache full and carefully tended. His fcatures.fds may be judged from our illustration, are must regular and pleasing, and his countenance quite prejsesMiig. lie dresses with great tare, and sets no small value on the observances which invariably distinguish a geutleman. He is most urbane in his intercourse with tnose olficially connectcI with Iura: but being of a somewhat retiring disposition lie hm, we learn, a holy horror of that offspring ot American civilization the newspaper interviewer. But. notwithstanding this pardonable weakness on the purt of Mr. Lincoln, there is a certain cIh.ss of interviewers thnt 11 his Ingenuity, we are t"ld. hns been unable o exclude from his irivate ollice, and even from his rcfcioer.ee, ever since he entered the Cabinet. This is a demonstrative portion of the colored population, of various parts of the country, who, ' biess de Lawd!" will shake hands with desouob doote mKn." lint quite recently. 'if we are correctly informed, an old negro from Illinois by some means or other gained admission to the presence oi the Secretary who was engaged wuh rjiiic gentleman, and suddenly seizing him b the hand, exclaimed: "Why, bress de Lawd! Ms.-:a Kolter, if you am'nt de bone image ob de ole ma.i down todat foot ob yo's, deed yo' 11 Use Ole Jake, sah! an often seed yo fader, sah 1" The roar of merriment which succeeded this may be readily imagined: but nothing abashed. Did Jake continued, while poiiitHg to "de sou ob de ole man." who was couvulsed with laughter. "Look dar. geid'men, ut dat motif an' dem years! an't dev de rale ting? Out smile, genlmen. dat smile! Why, bress de L r'! my ole 'oman, Met'odls nn' all a? she i; would rob a roos' f9 him if he corned our way." ThisiMppud the climax, but as it was feared that Old Jake's jtonchaut fordctailsmight become Inconvenient, it was deemed ad l-iibl' to dismiss him with ad mceur, one of the gentlemen enjoin lug upon him to go and refresh himself. He took th money with many (terapes and salaams, but before retiring, chuckled: "Goodbye. Masa Kober. we'll holo a regia jubilee in de cabiu in yo' honah, an' drink to de heltiness ob dis ministration. Thankee goodness! dis ministration's not so watery as d' las' one." As previously observed. Mr. Lincoln has not yet h.i nn nr.ni.rtnnitr of disnhtviiitr ! any promi nent degree his fitness for the otlioc bestowed unon him in such generous taste. His name and associations alone, however, are a tower strength and great aids to popularity. of CORRESPONDENCE. rCorrespoodfDti will please make their commuDictlon as brief and concise aa possible.
