At six O'Clock the attending surgeons

ELBERoN, N. j, Sept. 6-63 80 r. M.
Since the last bulletin was issued the
President has been removed from
Washington to Long Branch. He was
more restless than usual last night,
being evidently somewhat excited by
anticipatiOns of the journey. This
morning at half-past FIVE o'clock his
pulse was 11S; temperature, 99.8
respiration, 18. We left Washing ton
with the President at half-past six q.
m. Owing to the admirable arrange
ments made by the Pennsylvania
railroad Company, and to the ingen-
iously arranged bed designed by Mr..
T. N. Ely. the fatigue incident to the
transportation was reduced TO mimi
mum. Nevertheless, as was antioi-
pated, some signs of the disturbance
produced by the journey have been
exhibited since his arrival by rise oi
temperature and increased frequency
of pulse. At present his pulse 10 1874
temperature, 101.5 ; respiration, 18.

Special Despatch TO the Phila. Press.
Lone BRANCH, N. j., September 8.
The President Ia In q very low con-
dition tonight. Since the $50 bulle-
tin his pulse has ranged as high as 1873
and 130, and the temperature has not
abated. His mind occasionally wan
ders and the journey has thoroughly
prostIated him. All the physicians
are in attendance. The physicians
say the high pulse and temperature
were not unexpected. The customary
morning dressing of the wound and
bath were omitted to-day. Just out
side Of Wilmington the physicians
desired to stop the tram and dress the
wound, but the President begged that
they would not delay his journey. In
addition to the exhaustion the dressing
of the wound tended to prostrate the
patient. DIR. Boynton said to night
"The next TWEEN y-four hours will settle
it. If he rallies he may get well. If
not he will die, II we had left him in
