WAsHINGToN, July IA. There is marked
change in the scene about the Executive
Mansion this A. NJ, as compared with that
which prevailed continuously since the Pres
ident was wounded. Bright and cheerful ex-
pressions have taken the place of the sad
and mournful ones, and encouraging state
ments are made by attending physicians rel
alive to the ultimate recovery of the Presi-
dent, and have the effect of relieving the ter
rible anxiety which has been prevalent nearly
a fortnight. Heretofore attaches of the White
House, as we'll as those who were there on
business in connection with the Presidents
illness, and those calling to make inquiries
might have been observed in groups, convers-
ing in monotones, while to-day the sadness
occasioned by the attempted assassination
and fears which have been entertained that
recovery was doubtful has given place to
brighter hopes, and the general drift of con-
versation is more CHEEKY and pleasant, indi-
eating the great Satisfaction which prevails
regarding the patients recovery and espec-
tally was this noticeable in the expressions
of the cabinet, leaving the White House this
morning, each of whom made pleasing and
satisfactory replies to all interrogations re-
garding the Presidents condition.
