the condition of the President this
morning, said ne had slept we'll all
night-that tbs pulse was not more
than 106, and that his temperature
was but slightly above normal.
There is Il every sanguine feelir g
among the attendants this morning.
LONG BRANCH, September 7-12 10
p. m-The Presidents condition
con tinues favorable, and the attend>
ing surgeons and Cabinet officers ex-
press themselves as entirely satisfied
with the present outlook. The morn
ing bulletin has had the effect of al
laying all uneasiness on the part of
those who were extremely ANXIOUS
last night, and it is confidently ex,
! pected that the favorable symp-
toms will continue The fact
of the President having had
! sufficient recuperative power
, to rally from his depressed condition
of last right is received as q very
good indication that his recovery is
but a question of time. DR.. Bliss
! thinks that the ocean air will hence>
forth have decidedly bracing effect
on the patient. Attorney General
MacV.agh, who last night was ex-
tremely despondent, is feeling in
good spirits and thinks that the
change during the night was almost
marvellous. Secretary Brown en-
tered his Office early this morning
with very pleasant smile on his
countenance and showed by his gen
eral conduct that there had been q
changefo for the better. It having been
dec ded to issue the official bulletins
but twice per day is another good
indication, and tends to prove that
the surgeons don't anticipate an oc-
currence of anything serious. The
weather to-day is said to be the hot
test of the season. The thermometer
at this hour is nearly 800 in the
shade, with a land breeze blowing

Ills a. m.-Tne President is re-
ported to be passing a good day
The excessive heat affects him some
, what, but his general condition is
. encouraging and he is holding the
gain which he made during the
night.
, Lone BRANCH, N. j., September 7
/ 2 80 p. m.-Gen. Swain says the
} President has held his own during
the day and he thinks he is some
what stronger. He expresses him
self as feeling much more comforta'
bic than in Washington, and enjoys
the sea air exceedingly.
DR. Boynton, who was present a
the noon examination, says the pulse
| while q little higher. being ia beats
was good, and the temperature
which was but little above normal
indicated that there was very little
fever. On the whole, said the doctor,
the improvement of the pa lent las
night shows that he has considerabl,
vitality left. [ expect to be able tc
: give you better news in the cours,
1 of the next SO or 80 hours. Resi-.
4 dents of Long Branch say the hea
, of to-day is greater than it has beer
: for years. In some places the ther
mometer ranged between 50 and l0t
degrees. The Presidents quarters
are quite comfortable, however, an'
are subject to what little air Is stir
