Lexington, KY, Sept. 6.-Gov. Black
burn. i'll an interview, said he believes
the president will die; that the ball
struck the spine and has now gone down
carving considerable pms with it, which
will form another cavity. His nour,sh-
ment is insufficient to repair the drain
and give him strength. Congressman
Blackburn expressed the opinion that his
physicians were butchering him, and he
would die. He was splendid fellow and
would do his duty and treat the south
fairly. His stalwart successor would be
the reverse and would be worse than the
devil to the south.

DETAILS or THE REMoyAL.

Washington, Teptember 6-'rhc presi-
dent ut the depot appeared greatly ema-
ciated, face careworn and thin, but nat
ural. Gen. Swain said he had not been
the least disquieted, but enjoyed the
ride. AT $40 he was taken from tho sick
room to an express wagon, which was
backed up TO the front portico. Drs.
Bliss, Boynton. Rcyburn, Swain, Rock
we'll and Corbin carried him. &C.
Rockwell and Warren Young remained
with the patient during the removal to
the depot. The president reclined easi-
ly on his bed where he has been SO many
dayH fighting for life. His right hand
lay on his breast and the left arm was
stretched at full length upon the cover
let. His forehead was covered by lin
Ell cloth, and there was u patient, resign
ed expression on his countenance. He
was carefully and tcnderly deposited on
the wagon and at $50 the horses were
started for the depot. The by-standers
were greatly relieved, as many consider
ed this the most perilous part of the
journey. The remainder of the purity
preceded this conveyance to the depot.
The president cheerily but fecbly lifted
his left hand and waved n farewell as the
carriage moved from the mansion, whose
inmates were on the porch to wish him
God speed. The wagon was driven slow
ly, never faster than walk, one man at
the head of each horse, for precaution.
No incident occurred. The crowd was
orderly and anxious, not only for the
transportation, but to see the president.
This was easy, for the president was
breathing the pure morning air, not yet
sultry. AT the depot the horses were
unhitched and the wagon backed up to
the presidents car, and he was moved as
before, not SO easily. but successfully,
not appearing to disturb the president.
Inside the car he was transferred from
his bed to the spring bed, and the rest Of
the party being IN their seats the 6:3O
train moved out.
HE ENJOYS THE TRIP.
Philadelphia, Sept. 6-General Super
intendent KINNEY. of the Philadelphia,
Wellington and Baltimore division of the
Pennsylvania railroad, was on the presi-
dents train. He says it Is true that his
pulse fell 10 beats before reaching Balti-
more. The president seemed cheerful,
and when asked if he would like to
travel faster. replied: "Yes, he rather
liked it." Kinney says he seemed to be
in very good spirits, and was not under
the effects of any opiates. He was as
rational as could be and occasionally
ohatted with the doctors. Kinney was
surprised to see the number of people
who turned out, particularly IN country
places, to witness the passage of the
train. Even at prominent stations
where there were crowds, people raised
their hats with a reverence ard all SEEM
ed effected by the gravity of the situa-
ton.

Judge Wilson, counsel for the star
route people, has applied at the postof-
fee department for permission to exam.
inc the records in behalf of the defense,
and the privilege was refused. It is said
that when application was made. the
judge represented to the postmaster gen.
eral that inasmuch as the counsel for the
government had been engaged months on
the records preparing for the prosecu-
ton. he thought that in order to be
ready for trial at the same time, the de-
fense should have like chance to make
ready for the contest before the jury.
The postmaster general sent for Colonel
William A. Cook, and the proposition
was submitted to him. He advised
against it, and the permission was there
fore not given. The defense will, it is
thought, accordingly apply for contin-
uance should indictments be found, to
make proper preparation for trial.

not exactly clear that the Legisla-

A COURT Of inquiry. which met in

all tho blame of the wreck of the
Fsrng,en and the Lammerlaw. to the
Captains of those vessels. The lat.
ter, it is found. committed a every
grave error Of judgment in standing
in towards the light at night" a. it
"would have been common prudence
to have kept off till daylight" The
Captain Of the Fsrnglen is censured
and his license supended for four
months, because being . stranger
to the Columbia river entrance, aud
having no reliable charts to guide
him, he did not use the lead when he
saw the red light ct Point Adams;
that if he had taken this customary
prscaution he would have seen how
fast he was drifting in, and in what
direction" So it appears the bar is
not at all o fault for the loss Of these
vessels.
