Albany Express (StalwarO: There
was no more reason for the adoption of
resolutions by the Republican state CON-
mittee than by the cabinet or the presi-
dent or the board of directors of bank.
Resolutions will come fittingly from
conventions representing the people of
both political parties; but it seems to us
that Collector Robertson evinced n true
sense Of propriety in not offering reso-
lutions-il he had any in his pocket
which. We Doubt He is usually very
regardful of the prophecies of occasion,
and, in our judgment, the fitness of
things was better observed by silence
than by an obtrusiveness which would
have been attributed at once to dema-
gogism. We abhor all effort to traffic
politically upon the crime and It's eOnse-
quences. The collector was not guilty
of an "inadvertence.''

New York Tribune: In the news
paper discussion of the inability CUES
ton it is not claimed in any quarter
that the constitution intends that the
Vice President should himself decide
when it is his right and duty to assume
the powers of the Executive Office,
Whether the President can declare his
own in ability and summon theVicePres-
ident to perform his work, or whether
the cabinet is the proper authority to
determine that the President
is likely to be so long in
capacitated as to bring the inability
clause into operation, or whether con-
gress is the only judge in the premises,
are questions about which there are
different opinions. But no sensible per-
SON pretends that vice president can
lay hands on the Presidential Office at
his own option during the illness of its
incumbent. Such a theory, if carried
out, might result in a deplorable con,
fiict of authority Il lie better to have
no President for few weeks than to
establish a precedent that might at
some future time produce two.

A New York telegram says money

on account of the great release of gov
eminent money to take up securities,

of dollars have been paid out to the
public by our government or by Europe

clared that the votes will he counted,

THE RECORD OF THE CASE.

A correspondent of the Chicago In
ter Ocean sends the following report of
an interview with one of the Presi-
dents surgeons:
The record of the case is getting to
be very voluminous, and is being put in
shape, and will be written up for pub
LEGATION by DIR. Woodward. We notice
no indication yet of increased grayness
of the hair or whiskers, or anything else
to show an ultimate loss of vital power
consistent with the Presidents recovery
finally. / suppose, possibly, that such
things as a stoop of the shoulders and
whitening of the hair and whiskers
may follow at a latter day, and will be
noticed after he is up and about We
have examined carefully the lilac re-
gion and groin for the formation of a
pus sac caused by the bullet, but there
is nothing to show so far that any pus
in quantity is being secreted that has
not been discharged through the oriflce
of the wound. 1t is inevitable that a
certain amount of pus should be FORM
ing around the ball and settling to the
lower side of it, as he lays on his back
naturally destroys the tissues, and thus
assists in the movement of the ball in
the direction which we think will soon

some day as We are administering an

be eradicated. We are watching the &C
ton of the stomach very closely, and no
more experiments will be tried with food,
and only such sustenance will be Civ

Hated. We think that we will now be
able to pull him through, and are quite
confident for the first time that he will
recover. But we know from experience
that there is such liability of unforeseen
complications that we do not speak
with confidence on this subject to the
representatives of the press. Medicine
is not an exact science like many others,
and it is impossible for any one to say
with certainty what will or what will
not occur in such case as this. The
conditions are liable to change so often
that no doctor can tell at this stage of
the case really what may occur. But
the fact is, although we have not said so,
that among ourselves We are all conf
dent that we shall have no more diff
Guilty, and that the periodical relapses
will not again recur.

HOPEFUL INDICATIONS.
LONG BRANCH, Sept. z, IL m.-The
situation regarding the Presidents con-
dition continues favorable, and the at
tending surgeons and cabinet officers
express themselves entirely satisfied
with the present outlook. The morn
ing bulletin had the effect
of alIaying all uneasiness
on the part of those who were
extremely anxious last night, and it is
confidently expected the favorable
change will continue. The fact of the
Presidents having had sufficient recu-
perative power to rally from the de-
pressed condition of last night is re-
ceived as a very good indication.
His recovery is but a ques-
ton of time, DIR. Bliss thinks.
Ocean air will henceforth have decid-
eddy bracing effect on the patient.
Attorney General MacVcagh, who last
night was extremely Respondent, is feel
ing in good spirits this morning, and
he thinks the change during the night
almost marvellous. 1t having been
decided to issue official bulletins but
twice day is another good indication
and tends to prove the surgeons do not
anticipate a recurrence of anything Sc
rious. The weather to-day is said to be
the hottest of the season, the thermome.

Swain says the President has held his
own during the day and thinks he is
somewhat stronger. He expresses him
self as feeling much more comfortable
than in Washington, and enjoys the sea
air exceedingly. DIR. Boynton, who was
present at the noon examination, says
the pulse was a little higher, being ia
beats, but was good and firm, and the
temperature, which was but little above
normal, indicates that there was but very
little fever.
