THE PRESIDENTS HEALTH.
A letter from a correspondent of the Augus
ta Constitutionalist, dated W ashington City,
Sth inst. says : “Nothing new here io the
political line. The presidents health is verv
bad, and his friends apprehend >i fatal and
: speedy issue to Ins present llness. He sees
very little company ; and you must yourselves
, have been struck with the sombre aspect of
the notice of his condition as was given tn the

1 In ndditon to legislative news below, we
understand the bill fiom the Senate, organizing
J the Court for the correction of errors, has
! passed the House by a very small majority.
The salaries ol the Judges are reduced le
$2,500.
W e also learn that an effort is making in the
[ House, to call a Convention of the people ear
ly next Spring, for the purposu of amending
ihe Cons'itution, so as to redo- e the present
number of members in our Legislature. This,
to those who have the least of Sta e
pride ebnut them, is a very important measure.
And we hope, whether the Lcgisla'nre does
[or does nut make (he call, the people will
take the evil into their own hands and apply a
a corrective at once.

the Law, to prevent the selling of spirits to the

one hundred dollars to sell spirits to a Chero
