WASHINGTON, July 2S.-The following

EXECUTIVE MANSION, July 2S-1l A. M
! Unofiicial.)-C Colonel Rockwell says the
| President is decidedly better this morning
than he has been at any time since he was
wounded: that at the morning dressing
| there was free ana healthy discharge oil
pus from the wound, and that portion OF
the original wound above the iDclsOn was
observed 10 have commenced healing. The
surgeons, 8f'eT a consultation, concluded
that the removal Of the heavy carpet
which now covers the floor OF the Presi'
dents chamber would be beneficial, and
considering The brightness Of the day,
with perfectly fresh and dry atmosphere
together with the favorable condition OF the
patient, il was decided to make the change
| at once. The surgeons maintain that car
nets absorb the impurities OF the atmosphere
which invariably exist 10 more or less eX-
tent in a sick chamber, and that II is q re-
ceptacle for the secretion Of dust. etc. The
Presidents bed WAS carefully removed from
his own room to a room Immediately across
| the ball, where he il now resting quietly
| After the carpet of the sick chamber is
taken I'D the floors will be carefully busted
and a fire kinded in the CRATE for the pur-
pose Of securing q thorough ventilation
| The President will not be taken back fol
several hours. For the purpose OF deaden'
| ing sounds OF footsteps upon the floor,
strips of carpet will be placed in the most
| frcquented parts Of the room. 1t is cOGsld-
cred that this arrangement will render the
chamber much more refreshing TO the
patient, and that hencef0rth il will be de-
cidedly more comfortable. Had it been
practicable, the surgeons say they would
| have ordered the change made before. The
attending surgeons state that the President
has not looked so well since he was
wounded as he does this morning; that he
| is delighted with the change which is being
made in his room, and feels greatly re-
freshed.
on THE SURE ROAD TO RECOVERY.
The Star this evening says "All news
from the sick.room this morning is good
news. The President had a very comfOrt-
able night. His rest was quiet and his
sleep refreshing. 1t was probably the best
night of the whole illness. There was no
appearance OF fever and no return Of rigor
or It's symptoms. The President is now
Ecertainly regarded as having passed the
great crisis Of bis illness and as being on
| ;he sure road TO recovery. The doctors, in
speaking Of the patienps CONDITION, convey
| this impression most certainly, while they
do not say 50 in so many words. DR.. Ham
ilton was present at the examination this
morning. and spoke encOuragingly rs to the
prospects OF the Presidents recovery"
EVERYTHING ALL RIGHT.
Shortly after being removed into biz new
quarters the President went TO sleep and
had very nice rest. He is doing remaI ka'
bly, well to-day. It is the best day Of the
illness. Colonel Rockwell said this noon,
Everything j. all right" General Swain
said that the President looks better to-day,
feels better, and expressing himself As feel
ing improved. He takes his nOurishment
with good appetite, and 1t assimilates with
his system. There was no fever this morn
ing, and all the symptoms were most IA
yorable.
RAPID RECOVERY EXPECTED.
The noon examination to-day found the
President still in a very favorable condition.
lie had rested well during the morning. The
changes in the symptoms were very slight.
The fact that the President was able 10
stand removal from one room 10 another
without any disturbance OF the system being
undergone was most favorable indication.
The President is undoubtedly on the road
to recovery now, and there is not connected
with his case anything unfavorable. 1t Is
expected that his recovery will be quite
rapid. The following bulletin was issued
after the noon examination:
