among his friends. He has been under little re-
straint to-day from his physicians and although he
has rested good deal, he has nevertheless done
good deal of work. He has read all the
telegrams which have reached him to-day, and they
may be numbered by the hundred, and he has also
read the city papers and the New-York dallies.

held long conversations with them. II may be posi-
lively asserted that he conyerses with just as much
intelligence and brlliancy ever; he understands
the whole situation of affdrs at Cincinnati, and is
prepared to direct his battle from this point
He speaks with entire freedom on the subject OF his
injury, and says he has no pain or bad feeling. His
only Inconvenience is his physical weakness, which
it may require long rest and freedom from anxiety
to dspel. 1t will also be necessary for him to be
careful in his habits for some time in order to escape
the danger of relapse.

get well whether he got the nomination or not II

physicians and leave Washington soon as 1t will

vating He has not ventured TO say what he will
do in the event of his nomination, further than

seat in Congress In leaving Washington he Will
leave somebody no doubt to watch his good name
before the Judiciary Committee, which resumes ITS
investigation week from Monday next, at which
time the Mulligan Guards are directed to reaSsem-
BILE. After shutdown to-day Mr. Blame felt SO much
better than before that he thought a drive in the
cool of the evening would do him good, and so he
accepted Secretary Fishs invitation to take seat
in hs open carriage. They drove through some OF
the shadiest streets, and out over half an hour

thanked Mr. Fish, and said he felt much invlgorated
and strengthened. He then sat down with the
family to dinner ate heartily, and read the evening
paper. He then rested for an hour or two, and Ia
the evening had conference with some OF his
friends regarding the contest in Cincinnati.

severe trial to his nerves and head yet to come,
he answered quickly with laugh, " You mean
when the news of my nomination or defeat comes"
Yes" said his friend lyon need have no anxiety
about that" He replied, "rne news, whatever 1t
short drive m the morning should ne feel like 1T, he
will be prepared to take charge of his own battle,

considering propositions and suggestions, and writ
