His fever maintained itself at about tn

EXBcUrIvB MANSION, 1875 P. NJ
The day at the Executive Mansion has
been extremely quiet and there is little
Of interest to be said regarding the Pres
ident's condition beyond what has
been expressed by the attending sur
geons in the official bulletins which
have hsel issued. While the morAing
bulletin was not received by the pub
lie as an indication Of much improve
meut in the patient 8 Case, it occasioued
little or no alarm. The l2.3O bulletin,
sho wing decrease in temperature OF
$40 OF a degree, and in pnlse Of four
beats, occasioued an exceedingly SAIL
guine feeling at the Mansion and
the cit that the patient
was improving and as the predictions
OF the attending surgeons mad by IT
been proven to he correct, the express
sions III all quarters were indicative Of
general satisfaction with the progress
of the case. EARLY this afternoon Dr.
Bliss reiterated his statement that this
Improvement was most likely 30 con-
tinle, and, barring accident, h. thou .ht
the improvement. of the President dur
ing tn" next few days would be very
perceptible. The wound throughout
the day has continued to discharge free
ly, and .he pus is OF u perfectly healthy
character and is flowing from the
wound without the aid of drainage
tube,
DR.. Agnew arrived from Phllal1i-
phia about II o'clock This lnorning aud
has been present at the dressi .gs OF the
wound which have oc"arred at that
time. IL having been stated az fact
that the surgeons had determined to
perform an operation upon the PreSl-
lent for the purpose OF removing the
ball, DIR. Bliss was Il ked tonight what
authority there was for the statement
The doctor replied in au exceedingly
,mphaLiC manner, that there were no
Indication that the bal was doing any
aud that until IL is discovered
that such is the case, there Will bo no
attempt to remove it.
Secretary Brown, who has just come
from the surgeon y room, says that the
Indications point to q agoud night Tor the
President; th+t while his pulse and
have not been taken since
he evening hullctin, they :,la noIlcab'y
over. DR.. Bliss ,huushG thatthe pulse
vas about l02, with "a normal tenpcra-
,ure. During the day thu patian has
)artaken of the usual quantity Of solid
cod. The night is cool and pleasant,
. nd there is every reason for believing
hat the President will have good
nights rest. He has already this cveu-
ng had quite long, natura! sleep.
1t was learned at the White House to-
hight that the President had nartakcn
VI the usual quantity Of food during he
lay. At a late hour to night Colonel
Rockwell is reported to have stated that
he President has been t-oubled some
n hat daring the day with nausea, and
