The President.
CHICAGO, July Sth.-A Washington special
says Secretary Blaine was met coming out
of the White House at ! o'clock by your
correspondent, and in response to an inquiry
said "The chances are decidedly on the
Presidents side to-day. There has not been
an unfavorable symptom developed to-day
absolutely not one-and everything is pro.
crossing as well as we could expect. think
he will get through all right"
DIR. Bliss confirmed what the Secretary
said, and added, 1.-THE discharge this morn
ing was small, about three drops in ALL and
entirely healthy. 1t came from around the
mouth of the wound, and not from the inside.
The indications are very favorable, and we
see nothing to discourage us. He is steadily
improving, and gaining strength. Secondary
hemorrhage has not yet shown itself."
WASHINGTON, July Sth-10 P. M.-The
Presidents condition is still favorable. He
has passed very comfortable afternoon, and
has taken more nutriment than on any pre-
vious day. Pulse 10S, temperature 10l 3,
respiration a.

JJ. WOODWARD,
r. REYBURN.
The conditions continue so favorable that
there will be no further bulletins until to-
morrow morning.
A Bogus Report.
WASHINGTON, July Sth.-A bogus report
was circulated this morning that secondary
hemorrhage had begun. Much indignation
exists against those who circulated this pain
full report to keep the public excited. Their
originators would get an involuntary bath if
discovered. The subject is TOO sad and seri-
ous for gensatiOn or stOck-iObblnC.

Beecher on the Washington Tragedy.
New YoRK, July Sth.-Rev. Henry Ward
Beecher, at the prayer meeting tonight, re-
ferring to the attempt to assassinate the Pres
ident, said: In the history of this country
there never has been such week of prayer
as this last and hope the families of this
Christian Church have been united in that
PRAYER for the President and now, when
from day to day we have been cheered with
growing hopes and to-day cheered mora and
more, hope the brethren will not fail to give
thanks to God for the benefit received. The
nation was for moment in the condition of
the child that wakes at midnight and cries
for it's nurse or mother, and finds neither of
them. There would have been great incon-
venience if his life had been taken, and it
would have shaken the Government and the
nation. 1t is strange that man who had just
gone throughso many dangers on the battlefield
should, after so many years, have been strick-
en- by the hand Of an assassin in the midst Of
security and peace. The deed has horrihed
all parties, sects and denominations. There
were no partisans, no sectarians and no di-
visions of sentiment among the people. We
were in the midst of political juggling, which
/ regard as one of the most unfortunate, and
1 may say disgraceful, things / have ever
known. The whole difficulty lies in this ::
Who shall have the plunder. The Repubh
can party, which carried the nation through
the struggle, is now band Of Roman soldiers
sitting on the ground throwing dice to see
who would have share Of the Saviour's gar
ments. Liberty was imperiled for the sake
of party plunder. Guitteau should be the
subject of penal action. We have no use for
such a man any longer. His liberty should
no longer be permitted. He should be con-
fined for life under rigid control.
Guitteau's Sanity.
NEW YoRK, July Sth.-The Tribune prints
letter from one Of the most eminent jurists
and public men in this country, reviewing the
circumstances of Guitteau's crime, and con-
Guiding Z" His act has all the attributes OF
crime, and we may say negatively that he is
not lunatic."
What GuItteau's Hother-iR-Law Has TO
Say.
CHICAGO, July 8th.-hrs M. j. Bum,
mother-in-law Of Guitteau has been an in
mate Of the Old Peoples Home number Of
-
with soma information Of Guitteau's rela-
tion with her daughter. 1t was in the fall of
1870 that Anna Bum became first acquainted
with this notorious adventurer, although at
home she knew him only as an eccentric
young lawyer, with great aspirations but no
income. Charles was greatly attached to her
daughter, and his relations were very anxious
tilat he should marry, thinking it would have
a bsneficial influence on his wandering nature.
He WAS married in Chicago, and it resulted
very uahappily. He proved himself of a
proud &nd jealous disposition, which
several times found vent In beating
his wife. They had but one child,
who did not survive his domestic tyranny.
Because of his outrageous treatment they
separated, and not because Of his poverty T;
and although he never made any effort to
support her, but drifted aimlessiy from city
to city, he knew she was true wife, and
grieved for year and half ike child after
the divorce Guittsau never displayed any
settled ambition other than his wild passion
for declaining on religious tspics. The only
time his mental alteration took violent
form was when he assaulted his sister, Mrs.
Scovile, some years ago, with an a1, IN Wis
consin. His father had a brother who died
in lunatic asylum in 1860 although this fact
was generally kept as secret as possible.
Guitteau's former wife has since married a
young planter in Leadville, but previous 70
this second marriage, which has proved .
happy one, she taught school successfully for
years in Boulder, Col. Since the separation
the wretched man sunk lower and lower in
SO iety He has at last succeeded in making
himself infamously infamous.
