EXECUTIVE MANSION, July 10, 2
A. NAT this hour the President Is
sleeping quietly with no noticeable
change in his condition since 11:3O
P. NJ. The attending physicians
have both dropped asleep, and as
the night is cool, q comfortable,
nights rest is predicted for the Presl-
dent
EXECUTIVE MANSION, July 11-9
A. M.-The President continues to
improve. He passed very COM
Portable night and feels much re-
freshed this morning, though his
actual number Of sleeping hours
were less than those of the night
before. He took the usual amount
of nourishment during the night
and has suffered no Inconvenience
from it. His pulse is down to So.
Mr.. Jennings machine is now work
ing we'll and the temperature OF the
room can be reduced to any desired
degree.
When the President was first shot
and before he was taken from the
railway station he said very little,
but one of his remarks was Il have
received my death wound" This
feeling he had all day, and his des-
pondency was not relieved until
after the arrival of Mrs. Garfield and
his meeting with her. He has since
then shown wonderful nerve and ex-
cercise of will, and this, coupled
with his exceedingly vigorous phys
ique, has enabled him to weather
the crisis much better than would
otherwise have been the case, and
he has been quite cheerful for the
last two days. Medical men say
that it is quite possible that he may
continue in the same comparative
condition for days, or even weeks,
without showing any radical change
for better or for worse; that recup-
Grafton under the most favorable cir
cumstances will necessarily be slow
and tedious, and that a popularity of
such cases is that while every symp-
tom may apparently be encouraging
to the highest degree, a sudden re-
action may come and death ensue
in q few hours.
VOICE OF THE PEOPLE.
WASHINGTON, July 1.-The Presi-
dent and his cabinet have been es-
pecialIy touched and gratified by the
evidences of affection and sympathy
which have come from all parts of
the South. Hundreds Of kilograms,
coming from every Southern State
from Virginia to Texas, and repre-
senting both sexes and all classes of
the Southern people, have been re
ceived since yesterday morning and
still continue to come.
THE CONSPIRACY THEORY
is again discussed, to-day, and not
withstanding the fact that Mr..
Blainean mostOf the Cabinet mem
bers Indignantly scout it, the fact
that it is so pushed shows that it is
with purpose. The officers of the
Government, who have been follow
ing the clews say that absolutely
nothing to connect anybody with
the crime but the miserable wretch
now in confinement has been dis
covered.
UNFAVORABLE COMMENTS ON
ARTHUR.
A special from Washington to the
Commercial says: The unfavOrable
comments that were heard yester-
day over the supposed neglect of
Gen. Arthur to call at the White
House, are not heard to-day, but in
their stead warm expressions of adj
miratiOn of the modesty and manli-
ness of his bearing Every one who
has seen Gen. Arthur has been
much impressed by his conduct and
the tender solicitude he has exhibit
ted for the President His fervent
desire that Gen. Garfield may be
saved has impressed everybody who
has seen him. His interview with
Mrs. Garfield, last evening at the
White House, is said to have been
very touching. He was unable to
conceal'his own emotion, and tears
coursed rapidly down his cheeks
He has been deeply touched by the
cruel insinuatiOns which sought to
create the impression that he will
fully remained away from the White
House. The fact is, and could have
been easily ascertained, that he was
very DESTROYS of seeming the Presi-
dent, but the strict prohibition of
the physicians that no one but the
of the family be admitted
to the bedside prevented it,
THE PRESIDENTS LAST LETTER.
BY a singular coincidence, the
last letter written by President
Garfield before being shot, was ad-
dressed to his opponent in the last
campaign, Major Gene
raj Winfield Scott Hancock 1t was
dated Friday, and related to the
recently conferred up
on Col. Mitchell, one of Gen. Han
cocks aides-de-camp. 1t was IN a
friendlyand pleasant tone and could
not but have pleased the recipient
The letter informed Gen. Hancock
that Col. Mitchell had been appoint
ed assistant Adjutant General of the
army, and after apologizing for de-
the Generals staff of an ex-
ceIIent officer, concluded: "While |
your staff, General, loses an orna-
ment, the army gains an Assistant |
Adjutant- General, of whom it may
we'll feel proud"
