course to obtain the right of way. Like

the direct business way to settle the

are employed to accomplish this, the
better for the enterprise.
The season is now 700 far gone for &C.

There has been no material change in the
Presidents condition since o'clock, and it
still looks as If nothing can now prevent him
slowly wasting away. His pulse at this
writing is ia, which is six beats
slower than it was at noon, but this
is only regarded as a fiuctuation,
and gives little or no hope of any permanent
Improvement. The President is still per-
fectly clear in his mind and expresses him

very quiet at the White House, and gloom
seems to be lowering over all the inmates.

to await the result, which, 1t is thought, will
not long be left in doubt. Gen. Swain
and Col, Rockwell are still hope

scarcely feel. The President told Gen
Swain that he felt better than he did yes

The President Now Reported Better

Secretary Brown, who has just come from
the consultation room, reports that the
President has lost no ground to-day. This
is corroborated by Gen. Swain, who says
that, the surgeons to the contrary notwith-
standing, he is certain that the President
had gained slightly.
Better News.
AT about quarter of five this afternoon
the demand for news was very pressing
about the gate, nothing having been given
out since the noon bulletin. In order to
quiet this and put at rest number of
rumors the guards at the gate sent up a re-
quest as TO what could be said in answer to
the anxious inauirers. The request was
sent up TO the doctors room, and in a few
moments reply came;

parativcly good under the circumstances
1t does not give any encouragement, how
ever, as it is expected that the President
will have frequent temporary rallies, but
that any permanent Improvement is next

mind is clearer and that there have been
no further moments Of alteration.

Precautions Against Disturbance.

Gen. Sherman has ordered four batteries

roe. They are expected to arrive at an
early hour tomorrow morning. This pre-
caution is wise, and the General of the
Armys action in this respect gives much
ease to our citizens and merchants, who
have, during the present week, ap-
pretended serious trouble in case
of the Presidents death. Whether
the entire artillery command will be sta
toned at and about the Jail, or be distributed
throughout the city is not known. This
detachment, with the present force here
and our police authorities, will be amply
sufficient to protect the city from any
rioters, and to prevent any attempt upon
the jail.
