NEW YORK, July 7.-Dr. Frank Hamilton,
| referring to the information in the dispatch

| 1.-THE information contained in this telegram
is very encouraging in its character 1t indi-
Gates that the dangerous symptoms of the
Presidents case have given place to symptoms
! much more favorable
"You feel more hopeful, then, of the Presi-
dents ultimate recovery than you did on Tues
day evening""
| ooh, yes; much more hopeful 1t now seems
! as if there was every reason to look for the
Presidents recovery. The Presidents symp-
as occurs with ordinary wonds on the body. l

EX-SENATOR CONKLING.
A Letter Expressing Sympathy for the
President and Mrs Garfield.
| EXECUTIVE MANSION WASHINGTON, July
1.-THE following correspondence has passed
between ex-senator Conkling and Attorney
General MacVeagh:
FIFTH AVENUE HOTEL,
New YORK, July 5, 1881.
To attorney General Mac Vedgh::
My Dear Sir-In the adherence with which
| all decent men alike shudder at the attempt to
murder the President have given thought
to matter to which your attention may or
| may not have turned. In criminal code trials
| premeditated homicide In all cases alike, ire
| spective of the victim murdered being visited
| by the greatest penalty, perhaps no distinction
| between one case and another could be found
ed on the public relations held by persons
| slain. But in case of an attempt to murder
| broad distinction can be made between assail-
| ing the life of an inyidual and an attempt to
take the life of special value to the whole peo-
| pie. The shocking occurrence of Saturday
| think demands that the definition and punish
| ment of assaults aimed at high executive Of
ficers, whether successful or not, should be
made thoroughly rigorous.
The man who attempts the life of q Presi-
| dent, if morally responsible, commits an Of
| fence which the nation ought to guard against
| and punish by the execution of all the power
civilized nations may employ. 1 suggest this
as deserving of consideration. My sympathies
| are with the President and with all of you
every hour. The conflict Of reports keeps
hope and fear striving with each other, with
nothing stable except faith and trust that the
| worst is passed. 1 wish you would express to
| the President my deepest sympathy in this
hour which should hush all discords and en-
| list all prayers for his safe deliverance
Please also give Mrs. Garfield my most re-
| spectful coincidence. Yours,
| (Signed) ROSCOE CoNKLINa.
