ENECUrIyE MANSION, 9:30 A. NJ.
After you LETT the urgent symptoms
continued. There was much restless
ness, constant slight vomiting and by s
o'clock =. NJ. the Presidents condition
seemed even more serious than when
YOU saw him. Since then the symp-
toms have gradually become more
favorable. There has been no
vomiting or regurgitatiou OF the
tuii from the stomach since
) o'clock last evening. Ihe President
has slept a good deal during the night
and this morning expresses himself as
comfortable. The spasmodic pains in
the lower extremities have entirely dis.
appeared, leaving behind, however,
much muscular soreness and tender
ness 10 the touch. There is less tym-
panites ani no abdominal tenderness
whatever. except III the hepatic regions.
Since s p. NJ. he has taken an ounce and
a hall OF chicken broth every two hours.
aud has retained it all. The wound was
again dressed antiseptically this
morning Altogether but one
half grain OF morphla
has been administered hypodermically
during the last twenty -four hours, and
has been found quite sufficient. His
pulse, however. still keeps up. At $50
A. NJ. it was ia, temperature 100 5-lO,
respiration ~ Seventy-tour hours have
now elapsed since the wound has been
received. We cannot but feel encour-
aged this morning, although, OF course,
We DO not overlook any OF the perlIs
that still beset the path towards re-
covery. The course OF treatment
agreed upon will be pursued.

all night, and q change for the better Is
most decided, and inspires his friends
with hope almost amounting to enthu-
slasm.'
Col. Corbin, who has been close
watcher at the bedside, said: II believe
the President will live. Everything
looks bright now. and We pray that there
NAV not be any change for the worse.

pulse at 10 o'clock had gone down TO
ia, a fall OF = beats since the bulletin
issued last evening. The absence oi
tenderness in the stomach, except at
the wounds, is regarded as a very good
sign, and is an indication that there is
no great danger now OF peritonitis.
DR.. Bliss this morning said that the
swelling of the bowels had subsidized,
the temperature reduced, and that the
President slept well for ninety minutes.
