had the assistance Of members OF both par
ties in preparing the bill which he advo.
Gated yesterday, and that it can only
become law by the help of members OF
both parties. 1t is true also that he advo
Gated it in an entirely bipartisan sspirit.
But it is equally true that the credit OF
having introduced and urged it belongs to
the democratic party, and that if the blu
becomes law the chief credit of its en-
actment will accrue to the democratic
party, while upon the republican majority
of the senate, including Davis and Malone,
must rest the odium of its failure if it fails
to pass that body
Republicans whose first concern is for
the party ought to find food for serious
reflection here If they are practical poll
ticians the chances are that they do not
want civil service reform. But the BUSH
ness men, the professional men, the farm
ers, the intelligent mechanics of the coun-
try want it. Even looking at the matter
from the party leint of view, can the
republicans ia the Senate and in the House
afford to show themselves less attentive
than Messrs. Pendleton and Willis to the
reasonable wishes of the country and less
inclination as partisans may be to oppose
the pending bill, but they should first ask
themselves whether it is prudent, in the
actual circumstances, to risk collision
with public opinion.
The Press the leading republican paper
in Philadelphia pays this tribute to Sena-
tor Pendleton's intentions:
Senator Pendleton began nearly two
years ago to advocate civil-service reform
he has identified himself with the bill on
the subject prepared by the New York Civ
il-Service Reform Association; his speech
es on it have obtained national circula-
ton, and at the last Ohio Democratic Con
vention Senator Pendleton urged the adop-
ton and procured the passage of a civil
service reform plank. In all this Senator
Pendleton is unquestionably sincere; he
may be late convert, but he is a thorough
one, he justifies his faith by his works and
his principles by his present practice, but
the immediate and pertinent moral is that
Senator Pendleton has thus placed himself
in the front rank of Democratic Senators,
his prospects are UNNECESSARILY the best OF
all the men on his side the chamber, and
the righteousness of reform has proved, as
it always does, profitable for the political
life that now is as well as helpful to mans
future reputation"

trouble will arise from it. The
wound IS IN splendid condition.
The locality at which the ball en-
tered the body. down to the part
where the inciSiOn was made. Is
nicely healed, and granulation along
the track of the wound is progress
ing finely. The cleansing cathartic
entered, to-day, about the same depth
as yesterday, nine inches. and struck
solid substances. The ball is no
doubt thoroughly encysted, and no
apprehension whatever is felt about
1t. The doctor added, in this con-
nectlOn: Were it known exactly
where the ball lies, and if if were
not half an inch from the surface
and could be readily removed, we
should not think of cutting for it at
this time. The lung affection is
the only prominent one, and
III fact the only unfaVOrable Symp-
tom in the Presidents case
to-day, and that has passed
the crisis and is now mending
slowly, but apparently sure The
doctors detailed the circumstances
surrounding this complication and
referred to the knowledge Of the
attending surgeons that it had been
gradually developing for from two
to three weeks. We knew it would
reach a crisis, and the crisis came
on Sunday. On that day
there was no doubt, the symp-
toms being SO pronounced that
tn1.fn
would result in pulmonary alb
sceSS, were warranted; but fortu-
nately the trouble passed over salts
factOrily and the complication has
been getting better, though slowly,
ever since. The depression caused
by the crisis on Sunday Obviated
gain by the patient that day, but as
heretofore maintained, the Presi-
dent lost 10 ground. He merely ex-
perlenced standstill until the
symptoms developed and passed by.
The febrile rise came quite late last
night, and was not so severe
as heretofore. 1t had not entirely
worn off until after the morning
dressing, Consequently It was the
cause OF the paIatiYely high
temperature noted in the morning
bulletin. The temperature has been
gradually declining during the day
and, as shown 10y the last official
bulletin, was on Y about two-tenths
of a degree above the normal.
With TIE exception of the first
forty hours after his arrival
and Sunday last, the evidences
are very conclusive to those con-
Stantly with the patient, that he has
made a daily gain ever since he
reached Long Branch. Dr.. Hamil
ton said. upon seeing the President
the first time after his return. that
he noticed some improvement and
this was after The patient had expe-
rieRced the disturbances caused by
the lung trouble on Sunday.

IN A CHAIR.

At II am. the President sent for
the surgeons, and Drs. Hamilton,
Bliss and BOynton hurried over,
creating some alarm by their rapid
movements. The surgeons were in
the cottage but about fifteen min
utes. When they emerged, DR..
Hamilton said the President, being
very DESTROYS to be moved from the
bed into an invalid's chair, and feel
ing strong enough to stand change,
had sent for the doctors to have it
made. We lifted him into a chair.
where he now sits in a reclining pc
sition, enjoying the change of posi-
ton very much. The President was
allowed to remain in the invalid
chair thirty-fve minutes, and was
lifted back to his bed at l1.50 am.
There were no i'll effects from the
change of position. Physicians say
they will allow him to sit in the
chair at least once a day so long as
the present favorable condition con-
tinues. The President feels con-
WINGED that he is growing strong,
and is much gratified at the results
which justified his judgment of his
ability to stand the change which he
requested.
The Presidents condition cOntin-
ues favorable. No evil effects were
experienced from his being placed
in his reclining chair, and there was
