fore since about the 1st of August. He
takes his food with constantly increasing
relish. HIS voice is growing stronger, aRd
he shows more disposition to talk. He takes
great interest in the question OF his re-
moval, and has talked about it to-day
as much as we would let him. He would
rather 60 to Mentor than anywhere else,
but il he is to be taken 10 the seaside he ex-
presses preference for Long Branch. He
ought not to remain Lere an hour longer
than necessary, because September in
WssbirgtOn is a bad month. Although
nothing has yet been decided upon, l think
IL Is probable that we shall take him
to Long Branch by rail. The preponder-
ance Of opinion seems to be In favor
OF that course. Geo. ". Childs has offered
the use OF his cottage there, and we have
had several other similar offers. AS FAR as
his nerves are concerned, the President will
bear the journey well enough. He is lot
at all nervous, and he expresses great con-
hdence in his ability to travel as far SIS that
without over fatigue or iDiuTy.n
'Do you think, sked the reporter, "that
be 7uld be moved now without danger 3"
"No, don't think he could. II It we're
proposed to move him tn-morrOW ! should
vote against II, but L. he continues TO i'm
prove as he has done in the past three or
four days | think he can BE- safely removed
soon."
DR.. HAMILTON ON THE FLATS.
DR.. Agnew did not arrive from Pniladel-
phis TO night, but will probably be here to-
morrow morning.
DR.. Hamilton expressed a desire this
afternoon to make closer acquaintance
with the Potomac fats, about which he had
heard so much, than he had hitherto
been able to do, and at his request
Colonel Crook, OF the Executive Mansion,
took him in his carriage about p. m., and
drove him down the left bank of the river.
Upon reaching point nearly opposite the
monument, DR.. Hamilton inquired, with an
expression of surprise and disgust, "What
smells so?" THAT'S the fats" replied
Colonel Crook. "Do Ghey always have such
an odor as thisf" asked he doctor.
"They have every summer since l came
to Washington" said Col. Crook.
"Well," " responded the doctor, eve must
get the President out Of this. It's enough
TO kill a wea man in a week.
Upon the arrival Of DR.. Agnew tomorrow
a consultation of all the surgeons will be
held with regard to the best method of re-
moving the President from the city, aud a
decision OF some kind will undoubtedly be
reached.
VIEWING THE TALLAPoosA.
Secretary Hunt, Dr. Bliss, Col. Rockwell,
and the Presidents Private Secretary went
tn the navy yard this afternoon to make
examination of the United States steamer
Tallsp0Osa, with the view to the possible
removal of the President from Washington
on that vessel In the near future. No
decision with regard to the time or
manner of his removal has yet been
reached, and DR.. Bliss made his
visit to the navy yard this afternoon simply
to see the Tallapoosa, in order that he might
discuss inteligently with the other surgeons
the question Of a removal by water. If all
goes as well as the patients present symp-
toms seem to promise, DR.. BOynton thinks
his removal can be safely made within a
week.
