The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1881-07-05

| When we went TO press at 6 O'Clock on
Sunday morning the Presidents condition
was so favorable that his physicians deemed
it unnecessary 10 issue any bulletins until
later in the day. During that time he
grew no worse, and it was announced that
his symptoms gave hope OF his final recoY-
erv. Indeed, us an evidence OF his i'm
movement, it was stated that he smoked a
cigar and had the papers read to him. Mrs.
Garfield sat by and encouraged him with her
cheering words, and as far as lay in her
power administered TO his comfort and re-
lief. Yesterday morning the early bulletins
reported no more unfavorsble symptoms,
and his anxious and loyal cOuntrymen found
hope in his courage, and the assurance from
his physicians that there was no change Tor
the worse. Thousands OF people focked to
the telegraph and newspaper offices during
the day and evening with an eager desire to
learn OF his continued Improvement. Be-
tween G and 7 O'Clock dispatch was re.
ceived-not Ofiicial-eX pressing the fear
that his condition was not as favor
able as it bad been. n later bulletin
announced the fact that Secretary Hunt and
Postmaster-General james, who had just
left the Executive Mansion, appeared
much more detected than at any time since
the shooting. They admitted that the Pre-
sident's symptoms were not as favorable as
might be desired. His pulse and respiration
had Increased and the pain in his lower limbs
had returned, and feeling OF tightness
across the stomach showed that tympanit6s
had again asserted i.seli. A still later bull
letin reported SurgeGn.General Barnes as
saving that the President would die before
midnight.
1t will appear, however, from our dis
patches, that neither the fears Of Secretary
Hunt aud Postmaster-Genera james, nor
the prediction OF Or. Barnes, were verified,
for at midnight the President had further
improved since the last bulletin, and was
sleeping quietly; aud at the hour Of going
TO press this morning he is declared no
worse.
The Presidents FOrtitade.
HIS AMAZING CHEERFULNESs - MRS. GAR.

HUSBAND.

| WASHINGTON, July 3.-rhe forttude Of
the President under his intense sutferingS
yesterday excited the establishment OF all
who saw him. After the President had been
conveyed to the White House, Mr.. Blaine APP
preached his bedside, and relieving one of the
attendants who was tanning him, performed
| that labor OF love himself. Suddenly the
! President seemed to arouse from bis super,
and. looking up, smiled pleasantly. Chow
good you are 2" he said gratefully. Then,
| in a moment, Mr.. Blaine bOWlng bis head
toward him, the President placed his arms
around his neck aud said, with an impulse
| OF manner touching aud as tender as a wo-
man, "You know how well | love you.
| People whose motive was both mischievOus
and selfish have sought TO prejudice me
against you and MacVeaCh and Window,
and perhaps others, and though have been
compelled from the nature OF things to give
them audience, IL has never touched me
here" pointing TO his heart.
At one time yesterday afternoon, while
| Secretary Blaine was sitting at his bedside,
the President, turning his head, said:
{" Blaine. what motive do you think that
man cOuiU nave nau 10 lI1lnS 10 dSsaSSlnate
me?" To which Mr.. Blame replied: 81
do not know, Dir. President. He says he
had no motive. He must be insane" To
this the President smilingly answered: 81
suppose he thought it would be a glorious
thing to emulate the pirate chief" At an-
other time, when one of his sons was sob.
bling at his bedside, the President said
/" Don't be alarmed, Jimmy the upper
story is all right, il is only the hull that is
little damaged" Again he said TO bis
weeping son "JImmy, my son, hope for
the best" When Colonel Rockwell an
nounced to lin that Mrs. Garfield had
started on a special traia from Long Branch
he said, with evident feeling, "God bless
the little woman; | hope the shock won't
break her down."
