present for the purpose aforesaid, this con-
ference TO adjourn to meet in the assembly
chamber on Thursday, July z, at 8 p. M,
and that this preamble and resolution be
read in Joint convention on Thursday.
In the discussion of the resolutions
Skinner said he thought if this legisla
ture would go on and elect two sen
ators it would have great deal to do with
helping the President recover from the blow
the assassin had given him. Senator
Woodin said he too believed the election of
two Republican Senators will do more good
for the President than any physician s
patton. THIS battle must be fought out
here and not at home. 1t was time we
should rebuke that wicked spirit which has
brought the President to the brink of the
grave. 1t was that which found vent in
the pistol He had full faith in being to-
morrow night to do something which would
be a credit to the Legislature. Senator
Woodin urged harmony. Assemblyman
Raines spoke in the same spirit. ExSpeak-
er Alvord said there were no men with the
exception of resigning Senators whom
would vote for Hickman thought it
strange that Republican stranger
able to get together sixty three,
ten more than majority of
all the Legislature, could not reach a re-
suit in this Senatorial question. Hamilton's s
resolutions were adopted and the confer
ence adjourned till Thursday evening
Scott, in the assembly, reported for the
majority that the bribery committee
thought proper not to report on the al
legged bribery, as indictments had been
found by the jury. Both the charges and
denials were positive and circumstantial.
The minority reported that if the charges
were true great crime has been commit
ted. 1t bears somewhat on Bradley for
accepting money at all, and compares him
with Judas Iscariat. Either Bradley or
Sessions had the crime of perjury on his
conscience. the Almighty alone knows
which, The testimony shows that no
money was offered any legislator but Brad
ley. The whole testimony is traversed by
the minority. The conclusion in the Dav-
enport Strahan part of the controversy op-
poses the theory that the President was in
any way responsible.

under the terms of the call he offered the
following:

WHAT GLADSTONE SAID.

LONDON, July IA dispatch from New
York says: Gladstone is criticized for
suggesting in the Commons that the shoot
ing of President Garfield was the result of
a political conspiracy. Gladstone made
no such suggestion publicly as far as known
here. Privately what he did say in the
Commons on Monday, in response to
Northcote's inquiry whether the govern
ment could communicate anything touching
the terrible and atrocious crime was sim
ply that he could not be surprised that the
question should be asked in regard to an
outrage the character of which was such as
to attract the attention of the whole civil
lied world, and which so greatly affects the
feelings and welfare of a nation, not only
friendly to England, but growing more
friendly yearly.

"The information contained in this tele-
gram" said the doctor to the Times re
porter, last evening is very encouraging
in its character. 1t indicates that the dan
gerous symptoms of the Presidents case
have given place to symptoms much more
favorable"
"You feel more hopeful, then, of the
Presidents ultimate recovery than you did
Tuesday,"
ooh, yes. Much more hopeful. It now
seems as if there was every reason to look
for his recovery. The views expressed by
I1r in 4hr, n
were particularly sound, as to the varieties
of paritonitis and indicated that variety to
be apprehended now in this case is of all
the least dangerous. The Presidents symp-
toms are of simple traumatic peritonitis,
such as occurs with ordinary wounds on
the body. l believe that the critical period
in his case is now past"
FEELING CHEERFUL
1:3O A. M-There is feeling of positive
hope prevalent here now of the Presidents
recovery. He has continued to improve
throughout the day steadily. He has a
good appetite and relishes his food. In
deed he wants to eat more than the doctors
will allow him. To-day he wanted some
thing more substantial than chicken broth,
and suggested beefsteak as a dish
he would relish. But the doctors could
not allow that. The President has been
more cheerful to-day than at any time yet
He has apparently become inspire with the
faith of his wife, that he will get well. He
made good natured remarks on number
of subjects and at one time quoted some
humorous passage from Shakespeare. To,
night there were comparatively but few
visitors at the White House. There was
no crowd at the gates. The belief that the
president viii get well seems to be general
and the people are not so impatient fol
news of him.
The Western associated press agent left
the White House at ten o'clock. The at
torney general, postmaster general and
Secretaries Hunt and Lincoln were there
until after o'clock They were all feel
ing almost cheerful.
