ELBERoN, Sept. 14.-The following dis
patch was sent tonight: Lowell, London
There Is an increase in the Presidents temper
ature tonight, and in pulse and respiration,
but it is so slight as not to necessarily lndl-
cate that the condition of the blood is pro-
ducing any new complications. Inc troupie
in the right lung is not increasing, and Is
causing him less annoyance. He has taken
adequate nourishment, and his sleep has been
natural and refreshing, so that, If ne has gain
ed nothing, he has probably lost nethlng our

AGREEABLY DISAPPOINTED.
LONG BRANCH, Sept. IA, 1850 a. m.-sec-
retary Lincoln just saw the President. he
says he expected to see very i'll man and
that his expectations were realized. He had
not seen the President since the afternoon OF
the day he was shot, and of course great
change had taken place. The conversation
was very brief and entirely personal. No
business matters were referred TO. The sec
retary only remained in the sick room about
minute. At this hour the favorable condition
continues.
SETTING UP AGAIN.
The President again asked to be placed IN
his chair this afternoon and Drs. Bliss and
Hamilton complied with the request. He is
enjoying the change aud is very mu.h i'm
proved to-day After the President was com
fortablv settled down in his chair he expressed
a sense of qualification, and remarked, This
should have been commenced three weeks
ago"
THE WHITE MoU NTAINs.
At the request of Alto rney General Mac
Veagh the Temporary track from the New Jer-
sey Central railroad to Francklyn Cottage
will not be removed at present. 1t IS sur
missed that the doctors will consent in a fort
night to the Presidents removal to the White
Mountains.
GOOD NAP.
ELBERoN, Sept. IA, 2 p. m.-The President
has just been removed from the chair to his
bed, after remaining in the chair for an hour
and half, during which time he had quite
nap. His head was elevated and his feet per-
mitted to drop about the angle of thirty de-
grees. DR.. Bliss says he was rather reluctant
|about being put back to bed The disturb
ance did not change his pulse or temperature.
At this hour his pulse is 104, temperature
98 IS, respiration 10.
DIR. BoYNToN
says figures of the day report of the bulletins
are no higher than they have been for weeks
at night, usual febriie rise always increases
pulse and lungs more or less, and when at its
height for weeks past, pulse has run up to
100. He thinks President remained stationary
to-day, no better, no worse. l do not consider
he has gotten back to point where
he was Friday. Friday, b before fore 81. Sunday nt
doubt if he would have survived in Wash
ington. In my opinion he is suffering from
the effects of chronic blood poisoning and has
what is known as metaselaic abscess in the
lower parotid of the right lung. This abscess
is not very recent complication, but
made its appearance some days before he was
removal from Washington he was expecting
pus from it and still continues to do SO. His
condition continues critical, because the state
of his blood is such that similar assesses are
liable to form either in his lungs or other vi
tai organs. There are good reasons, however,
for hoping such will not be the case. His I'm
proved condition, the original wound healing
and assesses over different portions of his
body, and slight improvement in his general
condition, are indications he is making better
blood. Just in proportion as his blood im-
proves in quality and quantity the liability
to ward off further complications is dimin-
ished. Another favorable condition in his
case is, the febrile rise comes on later, and
does not continue as long as heretofore. This
nightly febrile rise is still marked in his case.
For weeks his pulse has risen at some
period of the night, generally about
midnight, to 120. Towards morning il
begins to decrease in frequency, and by Z. a.
m. his temperature and pulse reach the point
indicated in the bulletins. The
SEA AIR
is undoubtedly doing much for him, and
should no further troubles arise, his pros,
pects for final recovery are good. The fact
that no mention is made in the official bul
letins about the serious condition of his lung,
causes uneasiness. Three surgeons are here,
and will remain over tomorrow. This has
given rise to various rumors, among them
one that an attempt will be made tomorrow
to draft off the pus from the infamed lung
with the view of relieving the cough
The story is DR.. Agnew brought an instru
Ifent with him for the puruose.
DOCTOR AGNEw
sad this evening he considered the President
clearly better than he was when he, DR.. Ag
new, left him.
No doubt is entertained by those who hold
the President is
SUFFERING FROM PY4EMIA,
| that there is strong probability of other com
plcations. DR.. Agnew, it is alleged, has re-
Gently said to friend the President is suffer
ing from metdstic abscess and considered tht
present complication well in hand, though b,
| does not by any means feel less anxious about
the gravity of the situation. To sum up
there has been no change in the case sine,
