TuE pREsIDENT DOING WELL.

nm III y
WASHINGTON, September 13-The Stars
Long Branch special says: Although the
moraing bulletin did not make a good
showing on its face, still the President Is
doing well. At 10 O'Clock the doctors de-
cided TO give the patient a change. A day
or two ago an invalid or reclining.ebair was
received from Washington. The President
was lifted from his bed to this chair this
morning aud remained in ii an hour. Du-
ring the morning his pulse fiuctuated Wild
", but it soon settled down to the figures
OF the morning bulletin. The position
occupied by the President while in the chair
was a recumbent one. lie said, "This Is
delightful it Is such change" Hereafter
each day be will spend an hour or so 10 the
chair. An examination will be made to-
night to ascertain il the change OF position
has changed the position OF the ball.
Secretary Lincoln left FOR Rye Beach this
morning. This leaves Attorney. General
MacVeagh the only member OF the Cabinet
here.
THE LUNG TR0UBLE-THE UNEAsINEss OF TIE
PHYSICIANS STILL APPARENT-N ALLEGED
REFLECTION on DR.. BLISS.
The fact That the Presidents respiration
is again at twenty gives the doctors no little
concern, despite the assertion that the trou-
BILE with the lung will yield to treatment.
DR.. Bliss will not say what the treatment is.
II Is explained by DR.. Boynton in this wise /:
He says the Presidents throat is filed with
phlegm, which gives him some trouble to
get bis breath, and thus increases the rapid
ity OF breathing. He does not say the Pre-
sldent has an abscess on bis lungs, but be is
afraid one is liable to develop.
A MORE CHEEKY FEELING.
The feeling about EIberOn to-day is more
CHEEKY than yesterday. General Swain,
who stayed in the sick room all last night,
said the patient had a good night. DR..
Hamilton at noon told a brace OF newspaper
men that the President was progressing
slowly, still be was progressing. Attorney
General MacNe3gh will here sitter send the
Lowell telegram. Secretary Blaine left a
request for either Drs. Agnew or Hamilton
TO take care Of it. This was construed by
some TO be a reflection on DR.. Bliss. For
this reason Hamilton aud Agnew turned
the matter over 10 the Attorney General.
DIR. B~OYYTON's CHEERFUL yIaws-THE PRKsI-
DENT n U OF II WOODS YET" HOW
EVER.
DR.. Boynton takes decidedly q more
cheerful view OF the Presidents condition
to-day. To the Star representative he
said, at half-past l2 O'Clock, al recognize
that the President Is still a danger
ously-sick man. Still he seems to get
over the new complications rs they arise.
He is not out Of the woods yet. | do not
think there i. any immediate danger from
the lungs, but it will take some days yet 10
get at the extent Of the lung trouble. / am
inclined 10 think, in view OF the dangers
that the President has overcome, that be
will get well. SILL he is liable to have a
set back"

ELBERON. September 1876 =. MAT II
81. to-day The Presidents temperature was
9SS; pulse, 100; and respiration, 20. At
the evening dressing mt $3.50 O'Clock the
temperature was 9S.4; pulse, 100; and res
piration, 30. The President was placed Ia
a semi-recumbent position upon an invalid
chair at IL A. NJ, and remained one half an
hour without fatigue or discomfort. The
wounds are making the usual favorable
progress, and his general condition is re-
assuring.
NOT HURT BY THE CHANGE-DR. BLISS STILL
MAINTAINS THAT II PRESIDENT Is o A.
descent.
LOEo BRANCH, September 13.-The Pre-
sident's condition continues favorable. No
i'll effects were realized from his being
placed in his reclining chair, and there was
no change in pulse or temperature in con-
sequence OF his removal from bed aud back
again. The President enjoyed the change.
| He was placed in a position commanding a
full view OF the ocean, and elevated to an
angle of about forty. five degrees. He was
removed to his bed at bis W request, not
because he was tired, but he considered
il best not to overdO himself. The
Doctor says he will sit mp awhile every day
white he is i'm a favorable condition. The
iebrile rise was scarcely perceptible last
night, and what little there was continued
until the morning dressing, which accounts
for the high temperature In the morning
bulletin. DR.. Bliss still maintains that the
President Is convalescent, and there are no
indications OF blood-poison. He says "the
existence Of trouble in the lung has been
known by the surgeons for several weeks
past, and the crisis came Oh Sunday, which
day he virtually lost by not making any
gain. Since then, however, be has inn
