Another Statement rron DIR. Bliss.
LONG BRANCH, September 18Th Dr.. Bliss
says the glandular affection is practically
well, and 10 further trouble will arise from
| 1t. The wound is ia splendid condition.
The locality where the ball entered the body,
down to the part where the incision was
made, is nicely healed, and the granulation
along the track Of the wound progressing
finely. The cleansing caLheter entered to-day
| about the same depth az yesterday-nine
| inchss-aEd struck against q solid substance
The ball is 30 doubt thoroughly ifcysted, and
| no apprehension whatever is felt about ii.
The doctor added, in this connection: Were
1t known exactly where the ball lies. and il it
were not half an zach from the surface, and
| could be readily removed we should not think
of cutting for it at this time. The lung aifs C.
tion is the only prominent, and in fact the
only unfaVorable symptom in the Presidents
case to-day and that has passed its crisis.

WASHINGTON. September 18Th. Mason
| said to-day, In an interview When the at.
| tempted assassination was made by the scoun.
! drel, | first heard Of it in Texas, on train
| waere there were soldiers, and | secretly re-
solved, II l was put in q position, or had an
opportunity, to kill the assassin. Sunday
morning [ loaded my musket, knowing that /
was going on duty, with the intention Of
shooting him the first chance l got. When
arrived at the Jail, ! walked at once to where
| could get the range of his window and fred,
/ am perfectly sane, and il had killed him
| would be willing to remain in prison thu
remainder Of my life. II restored to duty
viii shoot him as soon as [ get chance.
General sherman and the Attempt to
Xiii Guiceau.
WASHINGTON, September 13.h.-General
Sherman says, regarding Mason's shot at
Guiteau The law must take its course
TIE act was excessively criminal, coming
from a soldier of the guard, and everything
should be done TO prevent the lowering Of our
dignity by q set Of welImeaning but mis-
guided people. If conspiracy among the
guards appears, Mas0n's will not be the only
case Of court martial. Had the shooting been
done by some insane ruf!ian who knows no
other law than that of Judge Lynch, there
might have been some excuse for it, but
emanatiug as il did from the rank and file of
the United States army, | think it deserves
the severest punishment. We cannot afford
to set bad example st Washington in a mat
ter Of this kind. If we are ever to expect to
end the lawlessaess prevailing ia some dis
trictS Of the South aud West we must begin
by showieg good example ourselves. It
viii not do to decry these rough, uncouth
hunters, trappeTs and squatters Of the West,
or even Colorado mob, if acts like that
which occurred yesterday are to be tolerated
in the capital of the country / shall see to
it that this matter is properly sifted to the
bottom, and that the guilty ones do not escape
punishment"
