the Mutual Union Company, which coves

Baltimore and twelve from New York TO
Boston, and also with the American Rapid,
which has three or four wires between New
York and Washington, with a view to COM

or unexpected. President Garrett has al

ly and definitely to fight the Western

The PresIdent's Physieians-The SERIOUS
Character Of His Ailments,

tits q thankless task, so flr rs the public
is concerned, to be physician to the Presi-
dent in times like these. The amount OF
criticism that has been written up to this
time on their sins Of omission and commits
sion would fill considerablevolume. One
Of our exchanges (the Chicago Tribune
editorially sums up a number Of their
bIunders-just few otthem-as follows;
The physicians in attendance upon the
President have made q number OF serious
mistakes, Il was mistake to carry him
upstairs in the railroad station the moment
after he was shot; to hurry him through the
streets Of Washington at racing speed; to
deny him food and stimulants for eight
hOurs after the shooting, on the erroneous
supposition that he was bound to die to
admit general visitors to his bedside for
weeks after his COnvalesCence began; to
give Rockwell and Swain and other such
amateurs the command OF the siCk'room,
instead OF corps Of trained professional
nurses; to feed him onions and vinegar,
and force his appetite beyond Its natural
demands, Above all, It was u mistake to
/ Keep llllIl III tllC UhNS AAuNpS WhNH $50
was well enough to be moved,
These may have been mistakes looking
at them now from the rear Of events, but
after all they are mistakes without essen
sial bearing on the Presidents real troubles,
save perhaps as to the failure to remove
him to the seaside at IN earlier day, The
Washington correspondent Of the same
paper-the TriJme-shows that the Presi.
dents troubles have been radical in their
character from the very outset and at every
stage since he was shot. We quote as fol-
lows:
"The President Is suffering, first, from an
unhealed gunshot wound whose length is es-
timated at sixteen inches; second, from
compound fracture Of the tenth and con-
fusion OF the eleventh rib, made by the
bullet in It's course third, by the presence
in the body Of a Jagged lead bullet not en-
cysted and travelling slowly downward;
fourth, from q poisonous state OF the blood,
of which the inHammed parotid gland is n
symptom; fifth, the gland itself, which Is
now cause a. well Us a result OF trouble.
This burrowing abscess In the cheek Is now
discharging at seven channels, four Of
which were opened by the surgeons knife,
and three are spontaneous openings flow
ing through the ear, mouth and nostrils.
The next complication Is the weak and
dyspeptic state OF the stomach, which has
at times rejected all proHered food, and re.
Ouircs to be always treated in the most deli.
cate manner, For nearly three weeks the
President has not swallowed mouthful Of
solid food. The seventh item OF anxiety
and danger Is the fearful debility brought
on by the injury and it, physical conse.
quenceS and the eighth is the mental weak.
ness resulting from local and constitutional

There is an important legal contest going
on at indianapolis, Indiana, between two
branches Of the Society Of Friends To
state the case briefly the suit Is to recover
bequest Of $500 made to the White
Lick Yearly Meeting and the only question
in the case is whether the Progressive
Orthodox branch OF the Friends Ia the true
Church, and hence entitled to the fund.
A correspondent in attendance upon
the trial Is much impressed with the scene
presented by the litigants in the case. He
writes as follows
Many prominent members Of the society
from other States and Canada are present;
and, as one looks over the audience, he l.
impressed by the number Of venerable
faces, both OF men and women. Several
