THE Chicago Tribune of the 7th thus edi-
torially alludes to the removal of the wound.
ed President to Long Branch:
The care that was exercised in moving the
President from Washington to Long Branch
was good testimony to the concern of the
people for his safety: No American President
before yesterday had enjoyed the luxury of a
pilOt-engine. That was formerly privilege Of
royalty alone. Yet the life of the President Is
as valuable when he is in bodily health as when
he Is on the verge of dissolution. The Express
Company In Washington not only sent out its
steadiest horses to draw the wagon that carried
the President. but appointed its trustiest men to
drive them, aud put an attendant Mt the bridle-
rein OF each. The best engineers. firemen and
conductors were selected. and each under
stood that he had post of honor. The whole
track was cleared. and every precautiOn that
ingenuity could suggest was taken to make
the jour. .!ey comfortable The conduct of the
people along the way was token of the sensi-
bilty of American crowds. There was no un-
necessary uoise. no pushing or loud talking.
The utmost decOrum was maintained. The
manner of the journey was as creditablc to
those who witnessed 1t as to those who had it
Immediately in charge"
VERY favorable and encouraging change
in the condition Of the President was an.
nounced on the 8th, attributed in part to a
welcome change in the weather, the ther.
mometer falling about twenty degrees. DIR.
Bliss stated, in reply to a reporter, that this
change for the better indicated GONZALES
cence. The gland and wound, he said. were
both doing well. The discharge from the
gland was quite sufficient, and from the
wound was more free and of better char.
acter. The wound looked much healthier,
and the color was much better in every
respect. He said the patient was
''getting along splendidly,' and was
better than he had been for many
days. Mrs. Garfield was quite happy, said
DR.. Bliss, and was very much encouraged
at the outlook. The $3.50 p. m. bulletin
gives the Presidents temperature at twelve
m. at 9s.4; pulse, 81; respiration, II. At
the evening dressing his temperature was
99.1; pulse, 100; respiration, 1S. He had
tne-n n Shn~ - \
and fluid, with apparent relish. At mid
night the President was resting easily, with
| out any fever. A report that he had been
vomiting during the night was pronounced
untrue by the physicians. He had eaten toe
much during the day, and suffered some
discomfort in consequence. Secretary
Blaine said, in his dispatch to Minister
Lowell. that the President had less fever in
the afternoon than for several previous
days, had better pulse and an improved ap-
petite.
SPECIAL PRAYERS for the recovery of the
President were offered at Long Branch on
the Sth, and the day was generally observed
in like manner throughout other portions OF
New Jersey and in Massachusetts, and
Maine.
HE Olucldl Oulicttu issued on C1o AFTER
noon of the Sth by Drs. Bliss and Hamilton

request of the President, it has been our
duty to say, in this public manner, to Sur
geon.General j. X. Barnes. Surgeon j. j.
Woodward and DR.. Robert Reyburn, that,
in dispensing with their services as his med
icaI attendants. he was actuated only by a
wish to relieve them of labor and response
bility, which, in his improved condition, he
could no longer properly impose upon them.
Both the President and Mrs. Garfield desire
to express to these gentlemen personally,
and in the same public manner, their high
appreciation of the great skill and discretion
which they have 40 constantly exercised as
associate counsel in the management of his
case up to the present time"
