l The condition of the President is still the ] absorbing topic. It is now thoroughly es- ! tablished in the public mind that the Presi- dent is on the road to recovery, but the un- | comfortable proviso barring accidents" l keeps all anxious to see each successive bull letin, copies of which are still posted all over | the city The President himself says he is getting well and imbues all who sees him l with the same spirit.
 THE PRESIDENT SEES sNAGs AHEAD. This confidence was well expressed not ! many hours ago when he asked to see newspaper. Col. Rockwell said they were all
 being saved for him. ''What! all of them haps it wouldn't be best for me I to get well'' The President is l great lover of flowers and always has bouquet on his desk when attending to ex- ecutive business. He is still favored in that respect and every moment fresh bouquet composed of the choicest flowers in the White House conservatory is placed in his room where he see and admire them. They [ are removed in the evening so as to avoid all l possible danger which is said to arise from having flowers in sick room at night. Mrs. Garfield generally attends to this little service herself, but sometimes she leaves it to Pri- vate Secretary Brown. And just here it may be said that Brown does almost everything next to Mrs. Garfield and the doctors. No one has done more towards the Presidents | recovery than Brown.
 THE SORROW FELT IN THE SOUTH. Senator Butler, of South Carolina, who called at the White House to-day, said he was among the lakes of Maine when the shooting took place, and didn't hear of it un- til three days after. After learning the par ticulars his first thought was that the shot was the result of the great spirit of intoler- ance which has almost become a curse to the country. He thought he could see some good yet to come out of this terrible suffer- ing of the President and the people. He also noticed with joy the expression of good feeling that came from all parts. He knew the South liked President Garfield, and he genuine. further evidence of this was to- day received in the following telegram to the President from Tallahassee, Fla:
 At the reunion of Perrys Florida Brigade yester- day, it unanimously resolved by standing vote, the chairman of the organization telegraph to you our our 6esget svpat6y with vSur spo and family in their anxiety and suspense, and our sin hope that you will be spared to our country"
 District Commissioner Morgan too, who has just returned from the Warm Springs, Va, called at the White House to-day. The commissioner stated that the news of the at tempted assassination of President Garfield created the widest excitement among all classes of the people at the Springs and irre- spective of party The Democrats and ex-
 
 alarmed, saying that they knew President Garfield was good man and kindly disposed and his administration would be of charac ter tending to heal sectional strife and de- stroy all bitter feeling, but that they didn't know what might occur in case of his death.
 A FALSE REPORT CONCERNING GUITEAU. The statement recently current that Gui- teau had been officially pronounced insane some time ago when he made application for Q pension as a soldier turns out to be false. Careful investigation reveals the fact that Guiteau never applied for pension. He was never soldier in the United States army and has never been reported insane py the pension office board.
 A GRAND MUSICAL JUBILEE OF THANKSGIVING
 With the renewal of assurances of the Presidents recovery 8 suggestion which is finding great favor here comes in the idea Of a grand musical thanksgiving jubilee In Wash ineton in celebration of his recovery. It is further suggested that the jubilee be fixed for November 29th next, on which day the Pres- ident will have attained his fftieth birthday. Thus the people could celebrate the two events at one and the same time

Among the last of his letters made public was one from Boston enthusiast who offers him an engagement as travelling cur1osIty at S2OO per week. the same amount also to be given to Mrs Garfield for the privilege of ex- hibition.-
 THE FEBRILE SYMPTOMS DISAPPEARING.
 The febrile rise in the Presidents case oc- cured somewhat later than usual to-day and the fever was less violent than usual, the evening bulletin being very favorable. The President had still smaller administration of anodyne and the dose is to be gradually decreased in the hope that he will soon get sufficient sleep without it.
