 DR. BLISS CONNECTION WITH THE CASE.
 WASHINGTON, July 4.-Dr. Bliss connec
 tion with the case of the President began ol Saturday, as soon as the shot was fired, whel the carriage of Secretary Lincoln was sen at 8 rapid pace for him, and he was the frs physician to arrive at the side of the wound ed President. Upon his arrival, Dr. Bliss 8 once asked that Surgeon General Barnes an( Surgeon J. J. Woodward and Basil Norris U. s. A., should be sent for, which wa done. These physicians, with the exception of Norris, Bliss and Reyburn, of this city constitute the medical staff who are in at tendance on the illustrious patient. Doctors Hamilton of New York, and Agnew of Phil adelphia who arrived here at an early hour this morning were sent for with the hearty consent of Bliss, to vhnm their names had been mentioned by Secretary of State Dr. Agnew and Hamilton joining with the resident physicians made a careful examlna tion of the patient and united in warmly complimenting Dr. Bliss and his colleagues on the course of treatment which had been 1OuOW6u- 1u0y u6CldI0O IudL any advice was unnecessary, as was also their further presence in the city. Agnew has al- ready returned to Philadelphia. Hamilton leaves this evening for New York A state ment signed by these physicians will be pre- pared and issued to the public at large. Dr. Bliss with Surgeon General Barnes and Dr. Norris were among the physicians summoned to the bedside of President Lincoln in 1865, and were present at the death scene.
 Vioa President A Arfb11r has raTOainad with in doors at the residence of Senator Jones of Nevada all day, awaiting in most painful sus- pense the frequent reports from the wounded President. He has seen but few personal friends, among them the Hon. Marshall Jewell, and has declined to hold any extended conversation in the form of an interview with the representatives of the press. He is deeply affected by the gloom which sur rounds everything and painfully sensitive as to the peculiar position in which he is placed. There is no one whose prayers for the recovery of General Garfield are appa- rently more sincere than those of Vice President Arthur.
 Fourth of July in the history of the capitol The quiet has been perfect Strict orders were issued to prevent disturbance, but public opinion without any official guidance and expression would have itself prevented 8 noisy celebration. The temperature was very oppressive, although cool breeze modi- fled the effect of heat. Secretary Kirkwood on entering the White House this morning. 'fThe breeze helps the sufferer" /" The intense heat kept a great many under the cove and shelter of their own roofs and away from the fagstones and asphalt pavements in front of the White House grounds. Great crowds gathered there however, and stood patiently in the shade of the scattered trees, or in the burning rays of the sun, to watch and wait for the last tidings The scenes inside of the ground were those which now became familiar to those in any way acquainted with the White House. The Cabinet were in constant at tendance, and the wives of these officers showed most beautiful and womanly devo- tion. number of physicians who have been asked to cooperate with the Presidents s physician were informed that the state of the case was such that their services were no longer necessary, and all but four of the local physicians were discharged from further ser vice. This action led to reports that there had been professional quarrels and disagree ments, but such rumor is groundless. The fact was that the necessities of the case did not require the presence of twelve physi- cians and the presence of so many doctors tended towards confusion rather than affacy. Even Dr. Agnew of Philadelphia, after re- maining few hours saw that his presence was not necessary, and Dr. Hamilton also returned to New York after brief stay The citizens, although oppressed with gloomy emotion, largely devoted themselves to the leisure of the day, to leave the hot streets of the town on the various excursions which competed for their patronage. A large num- Der of persons visited the navy yard to verify for themselves the rumor that Guiteau had been taken on board the United States iron clad Passaic, which lay in the stream. If the transfer has been made 1t is kept Q perfect secret, for both at the jail and at the navy yard the officials informed all inquirers that the prisoner had not been moved, and the general opinion Is that they have told the truth.

 TECT1vEs-HIs APPEARANCE IN THE JAIL.
 Next in point of interest to the White House where the victim lies in mortal agony is the jail where the assassin is confined The jail is situated in the eastern part of the city, mile and half from the Capitol. Yet its inaccessibiIity did not deter large num- Der of people from visiting it to-day. Day had scarcely broke before stream of visit ors, not numerous but constant, set in and continued all day. The keeper politely but firmly refused anyone except those having a written order from the Attorney General or Colonel Corkill to see the prisoner. All that could be seen from the office through the
 
 few guards pacing to and fro ID the large TO tunda in the center of the jail. The several corridors led from here and in the eastern portion of the building is the cell now occu- pied by Guiteau. He hes been changed around several times since his incarceration. At 3 D. Tn. Go.

Besides the troops detachment of police remained in the jail all night At 3 D. m. several officers of the secret service called and had an extended interview with Guiteau, but the conversation was not divulged to outsiders. Shortly afterwards the prisoner was brought out in the rotunda to sit for his picture. ae walked steadily to the chair set for him and took his seat without any apparent concern.

Gui teau remarked that he hoped great care would be taken, as he wanted good picture that the people might know what he looked like. At first a full-faced picture Was ob tained and then a side face with his hat or and off He then stood up and pictures witt his hat of and on were also taken. During the sitting District Attorney Corkhill and
 MT. Scoyille, the brot2er-in-law of Guiteau

 had an extended interview with him. Sec

 then taken to his cell. During the day Gui
 teau asked the guards what the President condition was and seemed much depressed
 when he heard there was hope of his recov
 cry.
 A reporter of the Washington Post ha.
 had an interview with General Scoville, wht
 married Guiteau's sister Scoville haC
 started for the East from Chicago before h,
