WASHINGTON, July S0th.-"The Presiden:
is certainly going to ges we'll" That was the
very confident declaration made by DIR. Bliss
about shutdown last night. Yet the physi
clans ara not willing to pat any such conf
dent declaration into their bulletins, and
within twenty.four hours they even have said
that they could not safely predict that the
wound would not terminate fatally. The
doctors seem to have one language for public
and another for private persons, but the con-
fidence of the people in the recovery of the
President, which has existed for week, has
not been shaken. The President sat up
twenty minutes yesterday. 1t was found
that the pain in the back had disappeared
but curious, and some think suspicious, pains
continue in the legs and feet. The reason

these pains by some of the physicians is that
there is remote fear that the President,
after his recovery, may be weak in his legs.
He seems himself apprehensive of that, as
he has frequently asked his attendants what
they thought about it, and has expressed an
earnest wish to be able to stand up, to see
whether or not his legs would still remain his
servants. The first sensation, when the
bullet struck him, was that his knees gave
way, and he seems to have retained that sen.
sation ever since, and still fears that his knee;
may be weak.
