Hopeful View of the President.

New YORK, August Is. The Telegraph's
Washington special says a stronger pulse,
better feeling of the stomach, the retention
of nourishment derived from the enemata,
and the excellent tone of the Presidents
mind, are mentioned this morning, and un-
mstakable indications that the crisis is past
and that the road of recovery is again re-
gained. The fact that the President is able
to procure refreshing sleep without the
the use of anodynes, is pointed out as almost
features of his case.
The irritation of the stomach which caused
him such intense pain has entirely ceased,
and it is thought that the patients thirst has
been thoroughly satisfied by supplying him
with fluids in the ordinary way and enemata.
The wound is considered to be in very
healthy condition
