The Presidents Condition.,

The latest reports Of the Presidents
condition leave no doubt of his ultimate
recovery from the wound caused by Cult
eau's bullet. \ week ago there was. tor
u few hours. a feverish apprehension that
his case was taking an unfavorable turn.
hut since that time improvement has been
so satisfactory that the physicians in at
tendance no longer hesitate to avow their
belief that his recovery is certain. The
joy which this assurance gives to the peo-
pie is plainly written upon their counte-
nances. All are delighted with it, There
are none who do not join in the general
feeling of thankfulness that President
Garfield's lite has been spared. His sui
ferings and heroic bearing while appa,-
emily on the verge of eternity have en-
deared him to the heart of the nation.
rendering him more beloved and popular
than any other President except perhaps
Washington and Lincoln. With the JOY
at the assurance of the Presidents recov-
cry is mingled 4 feeling of profound graf
itude that the government stood the shock
of the attempted assassination of the Pres
ident without the least difficulty. afford
ing another instance of its strength and
stability. No government in Europe.
with standing armies and privileged or
ders, could have passed such an event as
the shooting of its head so sereneiy rs this
government has endured the shooting of
President Garfield.
