The 1880 bulletin, showing decrease
In the temperature OF half OF degree, and
10 the pulse OF four beats, occasioned ex.

during the next lew days would bs very

d.y his continued to discharee freely, and
the pua is Of a perfectly. healthy character,

DR.. Agnew arrived from Philadelphia

The course Of the Presidents illness for
the past two weeks justi6es the opinion
that the question Of his recovery is one OF
theability OF bis System to withstand the
drain of the exhausting suppuration to
which his wound subjects him. This
drain has gone on steadily, sometimes
dammiDg up and requiring outlet by lane
ing. and sometimes flowing Oft naturally.
Gen. Gar6eld's ability to taks nourish.
ment has in the mean time increased
and is probably higher than at the lime o.!
the frat surgical operation. Still he is
scarcely taking enough food 10 coun!eract
the drain.
The nextfortnight is regarded as a much
more critical period than tho last. Ifsup.
puration slackens aad gives way to healing
he will rapidly recover, but it he remains
about the same or falls back, he will be in
the critical condition OF man whom two
months Of discharge have drained OF
vitality.
Surgeon General Hammond writes to
the Buffalo Erpreu more temperate
letter than his former expression in regsrd
to the case, in which he holds that the
failure to clear the wound OF bits OF cloth.
ing and hone, aud even OF the bullet, and
to trace the wound, were great blundsrs,
and that il some lsborer had been shot in
the same place the learessness with which
his cise would have besn treated would
have insured far greater probability Of
recovery. II wss clearly mistake not to
have called Dr.. Asnew earlier iu the case,
but il the President RECEIVERS success will
vindlcste the treatment. Oa the contrary,
failure will condemn It.
The fac; that the President aigne.i his
name officially on Wednesday shows that
there is ss yet no constitution Il "insbil.
