The Washington correspondent of
the st. Louis Globe Democrat wrote
of the President last Friday evening
The President, however, is feeling,
little gloomy. The near approach
of Saturday is dreaded by him, it is
said. 1t is on that day, by sort of
strange fatality, that all his bad
turns have occurred. He has noticed
this and grown somewhat morbid
over the idea that Saturday is his
unlucky day. He thinks if he can
pail through Sunday without any
change for the worse, if he can wake
up on Monday morning feeling bet-
ter than on to-day, he believes he
will get well. This notion of an un-
lucky day has worked upon his mind
to such an extent that it is feared
that any slight backset to~morrow
would bring about stronger reac-
9on through his own superstitious
ossponaency. There is, curiously
enough similar sentiment among
.n Sn1 puohe to night If he can only
pun pun through his unlucky day, it is
o oaia On every hand, the President
and lhe people may then take fresh
courage

Col. CASH, of South Carolina, who
owes his life to a perjured jury, is
out in a old-blooded card, in which
he explains how he murdered Col.
Shannon in duel. It is strange
that he can not learn decercy enough
to keep his mouth shut. The public
knows that Shennon was killed, and
the fact that he was killed in a duel
by Cash is no mitigation of the crime,
in the estimation of reasonable, law
abiding men and wemen. He ought
to be willing to enjoy his well-earned
lnfamy in quiet obscurity. If he has
conscience, he has hell in his
own bosom, aud the fact that he con
tlnues to talk about his bloody deed.
shows that he is suffering some oil
the pangs of the damned.

UNOFFICIAL BULLETIN.

EXECUTIVE MANSION, $50 a. NJ
From the best information obtaina-
BILE at this hour, including the state
ments of two of the attending
surgeons, it may be said that the
condition of the President has not
changed in any metrial respects
since yesterday afternoon. He is
taking increased quantities of nour-
ishment and this circumstance, of
course, affords rational ground for
feeling of encouragement but the
same uncertainty, which prevailed
yesterday with regard to the future
course of the glandular infammat
ton prevails today, and there is still
the same question, whether the
patient can take nourishment enough
to sustain his strength through the
present critical stage Of his case.
The indications are that he can, but
until there is more decided change
than has yet occurred, the confident
predictions must be withheld at this
hour. It can certainly be said that
the patient is certainly no worse in
any respect, and that his ability to
take nourishment is steadily increas.
