over the attempted assassination Of the
President. These suggestions being so
heartily in accord with my own feelings.
/ earnestly request that the people assem-
BILE in the churches at half past ten
o'clock in the morning and engage in de-
votions to Almighty God, and that the
celebrations of the day be conducted in
accord with what may then be known of
the physical condition of the President.
Thanks to kind Providence, it is great
joy to add that the present advices give
hope of the recovery of the President.
Signed CHARLES FOSTER,
Governor.
No NOISE IN WASHINGTON TODAY.
WASHINGTON, July AT 1880 A. N.
Secretary Kirkwood came alone and was
admitted upstairs, as was also General
Sherman, who came in soon after.
Gen. Sherman feels keenly the weight
of woe with which the country is
shadowed, but he is devoting his energy
to the safety of the prisoner and the
quiet of the city.
1t is pleasing to note that not so much
as the explosion of firecracker has been
heard at the White House, notwithstand-
ing that no prohibitory order was issued.
The city is in state of quiet suspense.
DOCTORS AGNEw AND HAMILTON
Have returned to their homes, their COM
plete approval of the course of the other
physicians being all that was desired.
Neither of them professed to be well en-
ough acquainted with the case to express
an opinion of the final result, but they
agree that the President is doing as well
as can be expected.
DIR. SIMS COUNSELS.
PARIS, July 8, 1871 interviewed DIR.
Marion Sims this evening. He says:--"If
the President has recovered from the
shock and the surgeons think that the
ball has perforated the abdominal cavity
they should cut open the abdomen, as in
ovariotomy, tie any bleeding vessel, sew
up the intestine if wounded, clean out the
peritoneal cavity and place drainage
tube to drain off poisonous exudations.
This should be the treatment of all gun
shet wounds of the abdomen" DIR. Sims
says that he studied the subject at the
battle of Sedan, and that he made there
many post-mortems proving that the
patients might have been saved if they
had not been in dying state when
brought to his ambulance. He saw the
post-nortem of Fisk, and feels confident
that his life could have been saved by the
method he proposed.
EXECUTIVE MANSION, July 5.--Unoffi-
cial bulletin II P. M.--The condition of
the President throughout the day has
been such as to give great encouragement
to his physicians. The nourishment
which he has taken at intervals has been
assimilated perfectly, and has npticeakly
increased his strength. The President
has slept frequently, and with apparent
refreshment and the decrease in tempera-
ture and pulse has relieved all present
apprehension of serious inflammation.
The transient unfavorable reaction which
caused so much uneasiness last night be-
tween 6 to g. and which it was thought
might occur again tonight has not thus
far taken place. The favorable synp-
toms of the day have continued through
out the hours of the evening which have
hitherto seemed most critical. This fact
is thought by the attending physicians
to indicate substantial gain. At the
present hour, II p. NJ, the President il
quiet and comfortable, and his symptoms
are as favorable as at the date of the last
official bulletin.
| PLOT TO LYNCH GUTTEAU.
The Dispatch says it is reported or
organization of 600 negroes has been dis
covered, banded together to take posses
sion Of the Jail and kill Guiteau in case
