WHITE HOUSE suLLErINs.

Washington, July 1850 a. m.
The president was somewhat restless
during the night, and the fever, which
had subsidized after our last bulletin, rose
again about midnight and continued
till 800 q. m, after which it again sub
sided. He is now about as well as yes
terday at the same hour; pulse 1o2. tenn
perature 96.4, respiration Is.
lilo a. m. The president is resting
comfortably, and the surgeons express
themselves as satisfied with his present
condition. A rumor was circulated that
the president had another chill this
morning; those who are thoroughly ac-
quainted with the facts, however, deny
the story, and say the patient had no
chills, subsequent to those which oc-
curred previous to the incision. DIR.
Agnew has been here all the morning.
1900 m. Col. Rockwell. who has just
come from the presidents chamber,
says the patient is resting very comfort
ably, and he considers that he Is doing
as well as could be expected. In re-
sponse to the question whether there
had been or would be any further op-
erations performed ON the president, he
said, no." there has been but the one
operation, and judging from the present
indications, we do not anticipate any
more will be necessary. Continuing,
Col. Rockwell said: "At the morning
dressing the wound discharged several
small pieces Of bone, supposed to be
from fractured rib.''
1900. The presidents symptoms at
noon to-day are favorable; several small
pieces of the shattered rib came from
the wound this morning while dress
ing.
2:20 p. m. The reports which have
been telegraphed hence to-day, to the
effect that serious operation was per-
formed this forenoon. for the purpose Of
removing part Of the presidents frac-
tured rib, are without foundation.
2:20 p. m. The wound has not been
touched since morning, the dressing
and only operation performed then was,
the pulling out by DIR. Bliss, with his
finger, of two or three small specule of
splintered bone which clogged the pas
sage and impeded the outflow. The
surgeons do not admit that there is any
thing critical or dangerous in the presi-
dents condition this afternoon; on the
contrary, he had q fairly comfortable
day. The discharge from the wound
this morning, although not large, was
not so scantily as to indicate any new
complication that the patient at this
hour, is free from fever and resting
quietly, and that his general condition.
at least, is as good as yesterday.
4p. m. The president had CON-
Portable day, and the opinion Of the
surgeons is better now than be gas at
this yesterday. The temperature dur
ing the greater part of the afternoon
has been nominal, bis pulse is not high,
and his general condition good. There
has been no re-occurrence up to this
hour Of the afternoon fever.
Up. m. The president has done well
during the day. At the dressing of his
wound, after. the morning bulletin was
issued, o small piece Of broken
rib about half an inch long was re-
moved. The track of the wound at
this point was dilated, and larger
draining tube inserted for the purpose
of facilitating the discharge Of pus.
Since that time he has had several
quiet maps, and has taken more nour-
ishment than on any Of the last five
days, without gastric irritation; when
the wound was dressed this evening at
z p. m, his pulse was 104, temperature
1907, respiration %.
IL p. m. The following has been
sent to Lowell, United States minister
at London The presidents physicians
report his temperature and respiration
normal, and pulse 96.
11:30 p. m. The PRESIDENTS condi-
tion is normal, pulse below 100; he
sleeps quietly and soundly.
