WHO Has DONE THE LYINdP

The majority of readers are positive
that the surgeons have done the lying
The public has been badly deceived
about the Presidents condition, but We
are inclined to think it has been the IN
official rather than the official bulletins
that did it.
For example, on last, Saturday the
New York Herald published purported
interviews with each and every member
of the Cabinet in which each and every
one OF them expressed himself in I'M
equivocal terms as having abandoned
hope and given up the case.
We believe these interviews to have
been unmitigsted fabrications, pure and
simple.
On the same day Mrs DIR. f lsOn was
reported as saying:
The mind OF the President dwells con
tinuously upon the subject OF his remov
al, and there is no doubt that it is Sc
rious drawback to him in his present
condition.
Following this comes the subjoined
conversation with General Swain:
"Do you think he will survive to-
night?"
az certainly do, and have not yet
said that / do not think there is chance
for his recovery"
what has been the condition OF his
mind during the afternoon"
His head is as clear as bell"
"Has he had any delirium?"
mo, none at all. His mind has not
wandered to day, and his thoughts are
as collected as yours or mine. | think
that he is good deal better, taking ev-
erything into consideration. than he was
this morning
Just before this appears an interview
with Dr. BoYNToN, which fatty contra
diets both of the above. The cores
pendent reports the conversation as
follows:
"What is the condition Of his mind?"
at has been very bad. OF course We
have said nothing about it. He has
been out Of his mind more or less for
two weeks. His mind has been very
much clouded, and he lies in a sort oil
stupor most OF the time. We can rouse
him to take nourishment, but not to
talk, except in reply to our questions
"Then he has not spent his time in
asking questions about his removal. and
IN making plans for it, as reported"
"He has not thought OF removal for
over week. His mind has been be-
clouded, and he has talked Of nothing"
How are these as samples OF down
right, unadulterated fabrication. They
are made out OF the whole cloth. And
so is, evidently, the greater part OF the
stuff that is sent from Was' ineton. The
public have betn demanding a great
deal OF news upon this one subject for
some weeks,and newspaper correspond
ents have been pressed to meet the de-
mand by drawing on their imagirations
for particulars they have failed to get at
headquarters. 1t will be well to take
their reports hereafter, cum grano sal,ts.
