Washington, D. C, September 3. Thecondition of the President has not material-ly changed since yesterday, although he wasthought this morning to be a little weakerRnd less animated. There seems' to be agrowing impression among his attendantsthat he is beginning to be unfavorably af--jfected by the weather and by the malariousair from the Potomac Eiver flats immediate-- jly south of the Executive Mansion. Kankvegetation, which is fertilized by the citysewerage and stimulated by abundant waierand hot sunshine, covers these flats duringthe summer, and is now beginning to decay,and since yesterday morning a faint malari-ous mist has hung over the river from thewater front of the Executive Mansiongrounds to the Long Bridge. Almost everyman who has been engaged in the work o"f

improving the channel of the river has beenmove or less sick from malaria. Dr. Hainil-- tton said yesterday to Colonel Crook, whotook him for a thrive down the left bankof the Potomac, opposite the flats,that the President had- - not muchchance to live iu 6tich an atmosphere as thatcarried by southerly winds every day fromthese flats to the windows of his room, andthat, in his opinion, the necessity of remov-al is now urgent. One of the attendingsurgeons said to a friend this morning thatthe President's symptoms had, he thought,taken on a slightly intermittent characterwithin the past four days. Wednesday heseemed brigher and uoro animated, Thurs-- 1

day he was less so, yesterday again was a '

good day, and this morning the patientseemed weaker and more languid. He (thesurgeon) thought that the President oughtnot to remain here an hour longer than

; ue wouia vote ior speedy re-moval. The risk to be run in taking himaway was not, in his opinion, as great as therisk of allowing him to remain here. Thepatient's condition has improved a littlesince early morning, and is now about thesame as yesterday.

Dr. Agnew arrived at 11 o'clock to-da- y,

and a formal consultation of the full staff ofsurgeons with regard to the question of re-moval will be held this afternoon.

These Facts aud Figures are CheerfullyGiven by us, and Our Young Men Can

See why it is to Their Advantageto Attend a "Goodman's Busi-

ness College."

We have, with the press generally, foryears been upholding Frof. .trans Crooaman, and the Knoxville papers. have alsoextended him then friendship, as the following from the Knoxville Tribune ofye6ter daywul show :

" No new enterprise or institution whichhas been established m Knoxville m years.better deserves the hearty andencouragement of the community thandoes Goodman's Business College. HisNashville Business College has acquired anational reputation, and Knoxville shouldfeel complimented in having a division cfthat famous institution established hereand it is an institution that Knoxville andthe business men of the South are proud toown. we are gratined that GoodmansKnoxville Business College is receiving newstudents every few days, and is in a fair wayto make a grand success."

The Tribune, Chbonicxe and HolstonMethodist, as well as other East Tennesseepapers that have spoken so highly of Professor Goodman, can always feel sure theywill never have cause to regret having en.couraged and assisted him, for the followma, copied from a circular of his severalyears ago, shows a tbue and manly spiritfor he says :

' ' Seven years ago, when I severed my con'nection with the Louisville (Ky.) Bryant fe

Stratton Business College, and came toNashville, I resolved to employ all the energy, capital ana ability i possessed inbuilding up a college for the purpose ofeducating young and middle-age- d men inplain, common sense, business-lik- e manner,and prepare them for the active duties oflife, ana give them that lniormation necessary to fit them for commercial circles.

" My policy was founded on honest business principles, and from which I havenever turned aside. I felt that the businesscommunity, as well as myself, could be mutual helps to each other by the right kind ofassociation together, besides encouragingand assisting the young men to properlyqualify themselves for business, before en-gaging therein and failing in their attempts;also to help those out of their trouble whohave become overpowered.

"I have never believed it right to try totear down any other person's enterprise forthe purpose of upbuilding my own for it isunkind and unmanly to do so.

" I have waged w&r agaist no one, but re-solved that other schools might be con-ducted as their propretors might see fit, andbook-keepe- rs and business men keep theirbooks, and transact their business, to suit

so short a time, generally go homo feelingafraid to risk themselves in business or with

firm's books. Vife would rather not havecent of their money than take part of it,

and not snmeiontly qualify them as account-ants and be able to earn back the money in-

vested in their business edacf tion.The fall term of Pio.'essor Goodman's

College in Nashville tad Knoxville hasalready opened, and the prospects of a fulland complete success in every way isbrighter than before. The success of thesninstitutions are certainly well deserved be-

cause of the manner in which they are con-ducted by Mr. Goodman aud his able corpsof assistants. These institutions are whatthe South should feel justly proud of, aud,as they stand second to none in the country,the reason is easily understood why they aroso liberally patronized

The above, from the Banner, gives ourreaders an idea how Professor Goodman'sBusiness Colleges are being appreciatedby the best men of the country. He certainlyhas made a complete success of the Nash-

ville College, and from all indications theKnoxville College will also prosper. Thefact is, Professor Goodman is nu indefatiga-ble worker, and knows no such word asfailure. Amoug the students we notice Mr.Beuj. Leavell in daily attendance, who, bythe by, seems to be determined to waste notime. lie is takiug a complete businesscourse at Professor Goodman's College, andat the same time spending some hours everyevening in tho telegraph department ofMessrs. Jones & Son's College, learning tel-

egraphing. This is how it came to bo an-

nounced that he had bought scholarships iuboth colleges.

LADIES' BUSINESS COIXE11E.

The Banner says : In his usual enterpris-ing spirit, Prof. Frank Goodman is contem-plating the addition to his already well-know- n

BusiucBS College, a department forladies. This has been determined upon inview of the growing demand on the part ofwomen to enter the various trades and pro-fessions. Wo have no doubt this new de-

parture on the part of the wide-awak- e pro-fessor will receive a liberal patronage.

He is modest in his claims, and willingfor each man to judge him and his worksand bis success and that of his students.This spirit is truly commendable, and any-one who knows him can testify that his ac-

tions have ever been honorable and gentle-manly.

"IN tTNION THEKE IS STRENGTH. "

This he surely believes, for in mergingthe Lone Star and National Business Colleges into his college, he was enabled to secure the principals of these colleges, rror.Wm. T. Watson and J. A. McAllen, andadd these two practical and experienced ed-

ucators to his already large faculty.OF BU8ISE88 MEN

He also considered necessary, and al-

though enjoying their confidence, and fre-

quently receiving applications from them toemploy his students, still he felt that whenthey had their money invested in his schoolthey would feel freer to make their wantsknown to him, and that he could receivemore assistance from them in improving hiscourse from time to time, so he formed hiscollege into a stock company, which is composed of leading merchants, business anaprofessional men.

While other business colleges have beeuenjoying a vacation during tne summermonths, Prof. Goodman's colleges havebeen in active operation, and within thepast week he has had application for stu-dents to fill positions from the followingparties : Edgar Jones, cashier Third.National Bank ; J. 1).

Iu addition to these applications made toProf, Goodman direct, three of his studentsleave this week to accept positions, as follows: W. T. Jiarr, with li. JjopewskiBro., Weatherford, Tex.; J. A. Connor,engaging with Duren & Co., William'sBranch, Tex.; Plenty Brandon, with N.C. Brandon, general merchant, Ilico, Ky.Mr. Brandon refused two positions offeredhim by Prof. Goodman while attending hiscollege. Mr A. S. Hall, a former student,goes in on the 29th inst., as book-keep- er forShoemaker, Joplin fc Co., cotton factors,Memphis. Percy K. Smith, whograduated last week, writes back : "I havehad three positions offered me near home,and will accept the best." Mr. E. A. Coles,of this city, nineteen years of age, whograduated last year at our High Schools,attended.Goodman's College ; and was takenfrom it this year by the Indiana LumberCompany, and is receiving $1000 per year.This college is doing a good work for ourbusiness communities and our young men.

The graduates of the present month are :

P. R. Smith, Mississippi ; James L. McElroyand J. 11. Conner, Texas; Plenty Brandon,Kentucky ; A. J. Abrahams, Tennessee.

There have been three sets of booksstraightened by this college during thesummer, and Professor Goodman has beenwriting his "Goodman's Simplified Bookkeeping."

There have been students attending hiscolleges from eleven States, this year, andthe prospect for his fall and winter classes,are very promising.

The good accomplished by his collegesduring the past month amounts to morethan many colleges can show for an entireyear. This is a very creditable institution,qualifying our jeunesse doree, for the prac-tical duties of business life, and turning outthoroughly-traine- d business men. Theother professions are already overcrowdedand, here is a field where the ambitiousyoung man of pluck and perseverance maywin honors and substantial success. Ameri-can.

FULL COURSE STUDENTS.

No student is received at his colleges onlyfor a full course, as it is his aim to fullyprepare young men for the active duties ofa business life.

We copy the following from his circular,which shows his good sense and judgment,and for which he should be commended :

"We have no three months course. Itsurely could not be reasonably expected ofus, tnat we couia tose the average youngman aud in three months pronounce him tobe an intelligent and competentaccountant. Having had to educate him iu commercial calculations.the laws of contracts, negotiable paper andthe like, a rapid business hand write, busi-ness correspondence, book-keepin- g in itsvarious forms, both by single and doubleentry, as applied to general merchandisine.wholesale, commission, banking and otherkinds of business, and go through the actualbusiness department and the minute detailsof business in three mouths."

This idea of becoming an accountant inthree months and less time has produceddamaging results. It has caused many busi-ness men to look with contempt on BusinessColleges, as they believed it impossible foryoung men to thoroughly master the commercial branches in so short a time, andyoung men themselves, who attend college
