EXECUTIVE MANSION. Aug. $50 A. N.
The President slept naturally the greater
part Of the night, although he has taken
no morphia in the last "a hours. His i'm
proved condition warranted several days
ago q diminution in the quantity OF NOR
phia administered hyperdemically at bed
time. and it was reduced at first to one
twelfth and afterward to one-sixteenth
of a grain in "a hours. without any conse-
quent unpleasan. result, and finally has
been altogether dispensed with. His con-
dition this morning exhibits considerable
improvement, and another good day is an
ticipated. At present his pulse is IS ;
temperature, ss.4 respiration, IS.
Ills P. M.EThe President continues to
make steady, but slow progress towards
recovery. He ate about the usual guam
tity Of breakfast this morning, consisting
Of beefsteak. potatoes, toast and milk, and
has up to this hour rested quietly and com
fortably. His pulse is not high and he is
entirely free from fever.

membered that unless President Garfield's

Matters About Gui,eau.
NEW YORK. Aug. "a Washington spe-
cial says: A gentleman conversant with
one of the Wardens of the District Jail
last evening ELECTED the following informa-
ton in regard to Guiteau When first
arrested the prisoner appeared to be la
boring to gain the good will of those abou,
him. he was easily satisfied and found no
occasion for ~grumbling. Lately he has
changed, and exhibits great irritability,
manifesting a wish to wreak speedy ven
geance upon any attendant who offends
him. When the Presidents relapse took
place GuIteau heard OF it in some IN
know way and expressed his satisfaction.
He adheres to the story that he was tine In
strument Of Gods will in the matter, and
assumes to believe that the death of the
President would be the confirmation OF
this theory. He seems to be in constant
fear of violence, and when IN one or two oc-
casions he has been taken TO the Warden's
room to see the District Attorney, he has
requested that the windows be closed or
that he be taken to his cell. His study 81
the Bible seems to be to find precedents
fer his act. He points to the command
given to Abraham to slay Isaac, as one pre-
cedent, saving. "In that ease Gud fnr.
nished a substitute for the victim In
this he may choose to save the life Of the
victim in another way" Thu Jail authnri-
ties are still apprehensive II violence,
having Information that secret organiza-
tons exist, not only here. but in other
cities, for the purpose Of killing Guiteau.
Guitesu looks forsard TO his trial with
some impatience. He expects to make a
profnnd impression as a LAWYER on that
occasion.

to Fort Craig for help. General Hatch
ordered Lieut.. Gi.fnyle's command of fifty
men, then at Fort Craig, t" the scene of the
fight, where they have probably arrived
before this. Couriers have been dispatched
to two companies of cavalry scouting the
San Mateo and Cuchillo Negro mountains,
and Lieutenant Taylor's detachment OF
Indian scouts lie guarding and scouting the
Black range. I've companies of cavalry
leave the Navajo reservation for the Black
range Of mountains to morrow. Thus far
seven victims have been gathered ia by he
recent raid. General Hatch is Of the opin-
ion that some Nsvajos have Joined the
Apaches, as there are about sixty In1isns
in this party. The agent of the Mezcale-
ras reports bis Indians all on the res-rva-
ton, which is not true, as they have heen
recognized in the recent fight. When these
Indians are pressed they double on the trail
and scatter, and when once on the reserva-
ten they are safe.
