A. M.-Unofficnl Bulletin. )--Tbe surgeons
regard the Presidents condition this morn
lug with increased satisfaction aud en-
enlargement. The parotid swelling has
steadily improved in appearance. and it is
thought that the patient has in all other re-
spects gaiUed ground slightly during the
past tweniy-four hours. He is thus far
having a quiet, comfortable day.
Among the members Of the Cabinet and
the Presidents personal friends there is
growing feeling Of encouragement and con-
tidence, and il seems 10 be the general im-
preston that by saturday or Sunday, when
the glanduaf swelling shall have ceased TO
be a hindrance, the patieut will enter
stage Of conyalescence.
Postmaster. General James called OF the
Executive Mansion this morning, but upon
receiving the bulletin at the door he said,
&c That is good enough. I'll 90 TO the De-
partment and 60 to work." and he drove
away without coming up stairs.
