SECOND DIsPATCH.l
EXECUTIVE MANSION, July 27th-11:30 P.
M.-The marked improvement in the Presi-
dents condition, which began to be apparent
yesterday, has continued steadily throughout
the day, and in the Judgment of the attend
ing physicians the patient has fully recovered
the ground lost by his relapse. He has taken
more nourishment to-day than in any equiva-
lent period since Friday last, and has several
times expressed himself as feeling much bet
ter. The absence of the usual febrie rise
For the first time in more than three weeks
the patients temperature at the evening ex-
animation was to-day normal. There has

The Vacancy on the Supreme Bench.
WASHINGTON, July 27th.-The matter of
the vacancy in the Supreme Court caused by
the death of Justice Clifford is much dis
cussed. Dsvens and Chief Justice Gray, of
Massachusetts,, are candidates, and every
New England State will have one or more
candidate, as it is assumed that the Judge
will be appointed from there. The talk of
appointing ConkliBg is regarded as absurd,
and his friends say he would not have it.
Some prominent Republicans hold that a
Democrat should be appointed, and think
Garfield will appoint one.
Another Lunatic loose This Time at
Albany.
ALBANY, July 27th.-Some excitement pre-
vailed here to-day on rumor of attempts TO
shoot Governor Cornell. 1t appears that a
stranger walked up the stoop of the old Capt.
toll building, and was about entering when
Superintendent Hyde, noticing the strange
appearance of the man, who was carrying an
old-fashioned gun on his shoulder, asked him
where be was going. He replied Il am
Adjutant-G General Of this State" Hyde at
once saw that the man was probably crazy,
and fearing that some harm to some of the
State officials was intended, asked for the
gun. The stranger declined to give it up,
when a struggle ersued for its possession.
Hyde finally secured it. 1t was unloaded. The
stranger, who is evidently recovering from a
Spree gives the name of Patrick McLane,
blacksmith, of Whitehall.

Agent OF the New York Associated Press for
the past fourteen years, to-day rendered his
resignation, and James C. Huesten. at pres
ent the London agent of the New York As
ISOLATION, was appointed to succeed him. A
desire to give greater attention TO private in
terests and recover his health, impaired by
too close attention to official duties, were the
chief causes which led to the resignation.
The Association, at a full meeting to-day, au-
thorized the Executive Committee to express
appreciation of the services Of the General
Agent in the following communication

to whom was intrusted the duty of preparing an eX

since November 5, 1866 and that in all these years
he has discharged the duties OF his responsible and
arduous work with great fidelity to the several
members Of the Association and with general ac-
ceptanee 70 the public. The office is one which re-
quires capacity, integrity and industry, and We have
never found the General Agent wanting in any Of
these qualities. Mr.. SimontOn leaves the Associa-
ton Of his own free WILL and not at the request
wish Of its members. In accepting his resignation,
our best wishes 20 with him for his complete resto
ration to health, for personal happiness and pros
