The President.

New YORK, July SO p. m.-The
Commercials Washington special says:
The president continues in very ia
vorable condition. He has exhibited
more strength than at any time since
the shooting, and everybody is much
encouraged. Mrs. Garfield was greatly
refreshed by her ride this morning,
and more confident feeling prevails
at the white house this afternoon. than
has been observed since Sat-
urday. The doctors say they
are encouraged py the progress
of supperation, and that the fever is not
by any means what they anticipated.
WASHINGTON, July S.-The Brooklin
Eagles Washington correspondent says =:
The most important piece ofnews to-
day, from the bedroom of the presi-
dent, is that his wound has begun to
discharge with the term "laudauble
puss," by which is meant discharge
of matter, indicating the absence of
the conditions which have made them
fear blood poisoning. This l under
stand is turning the point Of the case,
had the discharge been with not
laudauble, or been from the inner in
stead Of the outer wall of the abdomen
the chances ofrecovery would have been
very few. 1t can now be stated on the
authority of DR.. Bliss that the proba-
bilities are largely on the side of recov-
cry. There is no difficulty remaining of
which the physicians do not feel conf
dent of their ability to overcome the at
mosphere of the white house, is posi-
lively hilarious. To-day the cabinet
ministers step about like boys
at a picnic, or rather like
politicians who have just learned
that desperately close election has
been decided in their favor. As Sec
retary Hunt expressed it. "This has
been nip and tuck, but tuck has got
the best gait, and we are all ready to
have gloritication."

Surgeon General Barnes Opinion.

A reporter asked the surgeon the
following question.
Do you consider that he is on the
road to recovery, and will get up?'
"There are many dangers ahead"
was the reply, "and we cannot consid-
er yet what one he will escape. There
have been many recoveries from gun
shot wounds through the liver, but the
authorities all show that the average
time when the patients were out Of
danger was thirty y-one days. l do not
think the president will be out Of danger
unit! he has passed the thirty-frst day,
and then it may be long time before
he can be considered convalescent. If
he passes the thirty first day 7 shall
consider his recovery certain, but until
that period is passed he is in critical
condition and subject to the danger
of the varying phases of his case. AT
present the most we have to do is to
let well enough alone, and not attempt
to interfere with nature, which is work
ing itself in our favor. What he needs
is perfect rest and as little medical or
surgical treatment as possible. We
are constantly receiving kilograms urg-
ing us to use this and that, and
proffers of medical assistance are
abundant. The case is absolutely not
one now for the surgeons; but to guard
him carefully, and prevent him from
wasting his strength by talking too
much. We expect to set up this after
noon in the cellar Of the white house

passing through, The changing of his
bed had worked we'll. He was now on

window-sill and this proves advan-
tageous. On the whole, the outlook is
favorable, but the public ought not to
accept the favorable bulletin as evi.
dence that he has passed all danger and
will recover. We cannot safely say this
during the next twenty-five days"

A Long Siege Ahead.

So smoothly has the case of the pres
ident progressed that there has been
probably too much encouragement.
The only solid basis for cherfulness
rests upon the fact that the wounded
man is not actually dying, and that he
continues to gain time. Several alarm
ing reports have been circulated this
evening about the presidents counten-
ance having changed to yellow tinge,
indicating that the wound in the liver
was producing serious results; but this
report is unfounded. The real truth of
the presidents case is that the public
have been encouraged too much. He
is s:i!! s. very sick man, and the road
to his recovery is very long. Secretary
Lincoln, who has been very despondent,
said that the best evidence he had seen
of the surgeons belief in the presidents
ultimate recovery lies in the fact of
their preparation for a long siege.
They were evidently settling down
to siege Of months instead Of
days. Mr.. Lincoln said that not sin
gle member of the cabinet had entered
the presidents room since last Saturday.
They all have to depend for their
knowledge Of the presidents case upon
the physicians and those in immediate
attendance upon him. The presidents
new bed enables him to lie on a level
with the window, so that he can vary
the monotony of his confinement by
gazing upon the beautiful landscape
south of the white house. Several
wellauthenticated cases of recovery
from wounds similar to that received
by the president have been received and
placed in the budget of the physicians.
Mr.. Lincoln says that he has received
to-day the report of the case of Mr..
Barnard, at the Palmer house, Chicago.
Mr.. Barnard was shot in the same way
during the war, the recovery, however,
was very slow and painful, and most
tedious. All of the parallel cases re-
ported show that it will be a long time
before the president will be right. There
will be no attempt made to take out the
ball. If it ever comes out of him it
will be through the action of nature.
Mr.. Lincoln reports the feeling among

he brought the rife to his shoulder and took
aim. The next instant he lowered the muzzle of
his gun and turned ashy pale, "See what have
