symptoms Developed Wednesday.

New YORK, August PA Washington
special of this morning says there are some
signs of trouble with other glands in the
Presidents body and shoulders. The one
now infamed will be successfully dealt with,
but the others are likely to demand attention.
There has been pain, or rather tenderness,
discovered during the past forty-eight hours
In the space under the knee joints and also
in the groin. The patient has shown q
strong desire to have his knees drawn, as he
lies upon his back, and this may be to re-
lleve some peritonial soreness. The pros
pect of continued suffering, If life Is contin-
ued, 10 almost appalling. Eminent Ameri-
can surgeons in Paris say they have seen no
notice of the possibility of President Gar
field having been malarialized, nor have they
heard of any examination being made to To-
calize the position of the ball and the result
Of its presence In the pelvis. They have
unbounded confidence in the surgeons at
tending the President, but respectfully urge
the importance Of the suggestion here made.
Vice-President Arthur informed reporter
this afternoon he had not been summoned to
Washington, and added he had not received
to-day any message from the Capitol. He
only knew of the condition Of the President
from public reports.

Bad Blood Betwesn Races.

LITTLE Rock, August 19.-Morrilton, q
little village fifty miles from this city, is in
q great state of excitement over the antici-
pated collision between colored and white
citizens. The trouble arose about negro
abusing some white children. A day or two
after the mother Of the children met The ne
gro and gave him terrible beating. A ne
gro preacher took the part of the assaulted
negro. Feeling has run so high that the
friends Of both parties are ranging them
selves on either side. Several street fights
have occurred, more or less serious, but the
determined stand of the officers prevented
fatal termination. A large number of
special policemen have been sworn in to
protect life and property and the colored
people have threatened to burn the town.
Citizens Of Morrilton are here to-day for the
purpose Of asking the Governor to raise q
military company at Morrilton to protect the
peace, #..F#.a. F. 5sH .....E EE.g.#. ....

COMBINES GRIP.
The Relation He Has to New York Politics.

A correspondent writing from New York
August 10Th, says: "The half-breeds are
seriously alarmed at the grip Senator Conk-
ling has upon the political machine in hav-
ing, as they concede, q reliable majority Of
three in the State Committee, and, more
particularly, in having the Chairman Of that
committee. To those not familiar with the
ins and outs of politics would explain that
the Chairman of the State Committee makes
up the roll of delegates, issues cards of ad-
mission to them, calls the convention to Or
der, appoints secretaries to call the roll, or
ganizes tie convention temporarily and does
other things of like character. The tempo
rary chairman appoints committees on ere
dentials, contested seats, resolutions, etc -,
and with this power in the hands of Conk-
ling's most trusted stalwarts, 1t Is not to be
wondered at that Robertson, the new Col
lector and leader of the half-breeds, is seri-
ously alarmed at the chances of the stall
warts securing complete control of the State
Convention, nominating full ticket and ap-
pointing State Committee for 1882 Of the
most pronounced Of Conkling's personal and
political followers" 7s.|r .a5.. b

UNION PACIFIC FREIGHT RATES.

The General and Assistant General Freight
Agents Of the U. p. r. Il. are pretty well
represented this week In circulars reducing
the rates Of freight on certain articles, and
explanation Of the discrimination exercised
against the Central Pacific. The latter Is
frank avowal, and Is doubtless correct. The
U. p. Company certainly has nothing to
gain in antagonizing the interests of the
merchants or consumers Of Montana, while
II Is matter Of business with II to divert all
the carriage 1t can from the control Of the
Union road. II goes TO the extent of laying
down some of the "embargoed goods at
lower rates from Chicago than they could
heretofore be had for from California. But
there Is still q cause of complaint. There Is
q large trade In "China" rice In Montana.
That 1t is inferior to Carolina rice Is not .
question to be conaidered. Tie Chinese
patrons Of our merchants demand "China I"
rice, and will have no other. This cannot
be obtained from the East, and has to be
purchased In California. The excessive
rates on the commodity render II dangerous
for merchants to stock up as revocation Of
the rate would leave them with q losing
stock. Again, certain lines of California
canned fruits are standard In the Montana
market, and preferred by consumers. The
same difficulty exists as to these. In both
cases consumers have to pay increased and
lmmoderate freight tariffs. Mr.. vining has
given heed 10 the complaint from Montana,
and remedied some Of the evils Of the order
increasing tariffs. Cannot the order be
revoked as relates to these other commodi-
ties which are unobtainable elsewhere than
on the Pacific Coast?

The Presiden,.. Condition Tuesday.

EXECUTIVE MANSION, August %, 1I:30 q.
m.-Unofficial bulletin-The condition OF
the President has not materially changed
since yesterday afternoon and is yet the sub
ject of grave anxiety. The improved tone
Of the patients stomach, which gave some
encouragement TO his attendants yesterday,
Is still maintained, and this Is the most
hopeful feature Of the case. He has taken
to-day six and one-half ounces OF beef
juice without nausea or any other symptom
Of gastric disturbance. Upon the continu-
ance for several days at least of this ability
to take and assimilate food and upon the
continued absence Of further complications,
would seem to rest the patients chances Of
recovery. If the wound continues to do
we'll; II no serious consequences result
from the swelling Of the parotid glands, and
II the stomach continues to take food suffi-
cient the waste caused by suppuration, there
will be improvement enough within the
next four or five days 10 carry the patient to
higher plane Of vitality and perhaps TO put
him on the road, although not In the sure
road, to recovery. The consequence Of
these favorable conditions, however, while
universally hoped cannot be confidently pre-
dicted. DR.. Agnsw returned to PhIladel-
phia this morning.

A Similar Case.

WASHINGTON, August 22.-Surgeon-Gen-
eral Weles, Of the navy, has now case un-
der his charge in which blood has beer
vitiated from wound received weeks before
the President was shot. There was the
same parotid glandular swelling, succeeded
later. OF ny an abscess. This again was fol-
lowed by ether absressss Ia the number OF
twenty. rn pulse has led for two
months bstween lUO aud l2U. This patient
has been nou: ished for six weeks solely upon
beef extract and brandy. taken In minute
doses at frequent intervals, sometimes by
enemata. Surgeon-General Wales has little,
IL any, hope Of final recovery in the case re-
ferred TO, but thinks his parent may linger
for another month and perhaps two.
He says that If the President RECEIVERS, he
will need fully two months to get rid Of the
depravity of his blood, and during that time
will suffer more than he has yet done. Gen.
Wales thinks that septicemia has been the
retarding influence since July 23d.

The Presidents Mind Affected.

WASHINGTON, August 22.-As soon as the
President awoke this morning hot poultice
Of faxseed was applied to his neck. There
is no great desire now to prevent suppuratioR
Of the parotid gland. The effect of an alb.
cess on the brain is much dreaded. Although
during the night there was a slight aberrs-
ton Of mind apparent in his mutterings
while awake, the pulse, when last taken,
about ] q. m, had fallen to 102. Pepticized
beef in very small quantities was admins
tered through the mouth at q. m. and was
retained. The Presidents mind, when he
awoke at that hour, was clear, but his men
tai and physical lassitude was greater than
at any time during his long struggle for life.

DISPATCHES regarding the President up
TO the time Of going TO press are quite
discouraging. His system is Frustrated, and
the nourishment given and assimilated does
not seem more than sufficient 10 compensate
the wastage by suppuration. Liquid susten-
ance, in the quantities administered, is in
adequate TO building him up. Beside, the

There Is yet possibility Of restoration but
II Is only possibility. The patient Is enact
ated, so weak he does not speak above his
breath, and the ball still remains to evolve
poison to his blood. We fear that within
few days the brave struggle will have ended,
and the spirit Of another noble, assassinated
President will have Joined that of Lincoln.
