The latest bulletins from Wash
ington show but little, if any, proba
bility of the President's recovery.
The vast strength of the patient is
nearly exhausted, and it can no
longer be disguised that his life
hangs on a single brittle thread.
The only hope of his physicians
was the possibility of giving him
nourishment in the natural way, but
the return of vomiting on Sunday
afternoon shows that there is but
slight prospect that he can retain
sufficient sustenance to counteract
the constant loss of strength by
drainage from his wound. He has
still an open wound twelve and a
half inches deep, from which his
strength w hourly ebbing; his stom
ach will not retain food sufficient to
nourish a babe; lie has lost some
seventy jiounds. and is reported to
be much emaciated; and, in addi
tion to this, it is now admitted by
his physicians that he is suffering
from one species of blood poisoning.
Can he much longer bear this waste
and suffering? is the question. 4Since
the day of his wounding hope has
never seemed fainter yet, hope is
apparently the only thing left us.
The following bulletin, issued at
S;.50 Tuesday morning, is the latest
we have lefore going to press. It
indicates an unchanged condition :
8:30 a. m. The President slept
the greater part of the night, but
awoke at frequent intervals. He hrw
taken since last evening a hmrcrl
quantity f liquid food by the mouth
than in the corre?onding hour of
any day during the past week. The
use of nutritive enemata is contin
ued at longer intervals. The parotid
p welling is unchanged. Tulse 100,
temperature 984, respiration IS.

The latest bulletins from Wash
ington represent the President's con
dition as being substantially un
changed. It is the same old story jfc
over arain. Tho physicians nay
that they are Katislied with the situ
ation, and that the outlook is en
couraging, but people will take no
tice of Mr. , Garfield V continued
weakness, of his increasing liability
to attacks of fever, of the unabated
frequency of his pulse, of the weak
ness of his digestive organs and of
his want of recuperative power, and
they will form their own conclu
sions. .
Workmen and workwomen in
France live and thrive on wages
which would scarcely keep soul and
body together in this country. A
French journal the other day pub
lished a table showing that thcaer
age wages in fiftj--one di.-tinct trades
were only GO cents a day, S3 C3 a
week. These were the wages of
men. For women, the average ia
eleven trades is CI 1 cents a day, or
$1 871 cents a week. Decorative
sculptors a class of highly skilled
and intelligent workmen receive
only 12. cents a d' Such work
men here would pr ..ably ram from
$4 to S" per day.
Now that the life of the President
is in such imminent peril it Is rather
curious to see how certain journals
have changed their expressed views
of the Vice President. They have
now discovered that he has borne
himself with dignity and discretion
during the illness of the President,
and that the country entertains
for him nothing but the kindliest
feelings, and further that should he
be called to the Presidency he will
receive the loyal support of all class
es of citizens. After the unmanly
denunciation of Mr. Arthur by these
same journals, immediately after the
wounding of Mr. Garfield, their gush
over him now can be taken for what
it is worth. -
Pottlar sentiment toward Gen
eral Arthur has sustained a wonder
ful change within the last six weeks.
Immediately after Mr. Garfield -was
shot, it was a common thing to hear
people, who knew no better, or who
spoke without thought, deplore the
situation, chiefly because it w ould
be such a bad thing for the country
if Vice President Arthur were called
to the Executive chair. That was
wild talk, due partly to misrepre
sentation, partly to prejudice and
partly to the excitement of the mo
ment. No such apprehensions are
now entertained. People know more
about General Arthur than they did
two months ago, and they have
learned to recognize an element of
consolation in the fact that he would
be Mr. Garfield's sue.es.--or. X'r.'h
.Imtvvai.
Another anxious day has gone
by, and still the patient sufferer at
the White House has been able to
hold his own. He has even, accord-
ing to the bulletins, gained some
ground. The exhauscd stomach
shows signs of recuperation, and a
little nourishment has been normal
ly taken with entirely beneficial re
sults. Though it must be a source
of great discomfort, the doctors are
agreed that the inflammation of the
parotid gland is a natural and not a !
dangerous complication, the conse
quence of the debilitated condition
to which the President has been re
duced. The wound itself is said to
be rai.Idlv healinsr mi. and has i
ceased to be the cause of apnrehen-!

this the chances seem to be evenly ! C1 lu? t,t0 WahinS'

The President's condition, not
withstanding the slight improve
ment which his physicians arc dis
posed to record, is far from re-assuring.

tid gland may not be an indication

Congress will be asked, at the
coming session, to provide at once
for the erection of a mansion for the
President of the Vnited States, to be
located somewhere beyond the ma-
llarial line of Washington City, and
where a main sewer need not c run
through its basement. Such a man
sion ought to have beer, built thirty
years ago, as tho White House for
the last twenty years has been unfit
for habitation. The experience of
the last six weeks now proves how
unhealthy the house has become,
and how unreasonable it is to com
pel the Chief Magistrate to take his
family there as a place of permanent
residence. Congress will be asked
as soon as it meets to proceed at
once to secure the erection of a 6uit-
able house for the President, located
where its occupants will be in no
danger of malaria.
Happily the probability that Gen
eral Arthur will be called to the
Presidential chair by the death of
President Garfield is growing les3
day by day, and yet there is just
enough chance of it t give some
weight to the opinions of prominent
men as to what kind of a President
Mr. Arthur would make. William
H. Vanderbilt has no hesitation in
saying that, having known Mr. Ar
thur for years, he regards him as in
every way qualified to make a safe,
sensible and honest Executive, who
would do no act that would impair
the safety, the credit or the prosper
ity of the country. He adds : " I
have large business and financial in
terests, and I have no fear that any
of them would suffer through Mr.
Arthur's conduct in the Presidential
office." Jay Gould says: " I regard
Mr. Arthur as a man peculiarly well
qualified for that high position, and
1 believe that his administration
should he be called to the office,
would be one of which the country
would have reason to be proud."
This sentiment is undoubtedly the
prevailing one in business circles

It is difficult to be a satisfactory

more difficult to be an acceptable
Vice President, especially under the

that surround Mr. Arthur, than it is
to be the Chief Magistrate himself.

Supposing tho Worst .
The precariou condition in widt h
the President is lying has naturally
revived some political discission in
regard to the political consequences
which might be ex pected to attend
his death. 15ut in its tone the de
bate now going on is- essentially dif
ferent from that which so suddenly
and tumultuouHly f prang up on the
memorable day of the attempted as
sassination. 1 Not many: jeople re
tain their presence of mind through
all the excitement caused by news
so dreadful and : bo utterly unfor
seen. ' By far tho greater majority

the less dis-
quieting because they were so vague
a"nd unsubstantial. They feared
they knew not what, and they scarce
knew why. 1 Panic was in the air,
and sober sense which is usually a
salient characteristic of the Ameri
can citizen was whirled away in a
storm of wild alarm.
We had supposed that an Ameri
can President, placed in office by
the public will, and wielding his
powers for the public benefit a
man neither enjoying or claiming
any personal privileges, who for a
little while had been raised up from
among the people for the general
good, and who in a little while
would descend from the height to
which he had been raised and bo
one of tho pcoplo again we had
thought that such a ruler was safe
from the dangers which beset the
hereditary and despotic sovereign,
and it was a staggering : shock when
Guiteau's pistol opened our eyes to
the truth that in a republic as in an
empire the man who in his person
represents authority ia uot safe from
the malevolence which authority in
spires. It seemed as though the
crime at Washington pointed to the
failure of republican principals and
institution?, and the gloom of this
suggestion did much to darken the
j future, ' The bitterness provoked by
the contest in New York State was
another element of apprehension,
and the unwarranted attacks which
had been made on the Vice Presi
dent were a powerful factor in agi
tating the public mind. Happily
that agitation has now subsided.
People have entirely recovered from
the panic bv which at first their
'judgment was obscured. Guiteau's
crime is now understood to nave no
political signifiicence whatever ; to
have had no more connection with
the success or stability of our insti
tutions than any vulgar murder
prompted by cupidity or revenge.
The phantom of a political revolu
tion to follow the President's death
by which many were affrighted: lias
also disappeared. .-
For every reason Mr. Garfield's
recovery is most earnestly and pray
erfully to be desired. Any great
political change has a disturbing
and therefore a prejudicial effect
upon the business of the country,
and on account of that, if nothing
else, the necessity for the ice Pres
ident's succession would be most
unfortunate. And there arc other
reasons to the same tenor. Mr.
Garfield has gained in an extraor
dinary and quite exceptional meas
ure the confidence of his fellow-citizens.
If he recovers, he will have
greater influence than any American
iTesident before him was ever able
to command. His capacity for suc
cessful action in public affairs will,
humanly speaking, be well nigh un
bounded, and that he will use it to
the miblic good no one can doubt
Merely from a political point of
view, his life is therefore of inestim
able value to the country, and that
he will be spared must bo the heart
felt prayer of every good citizen.
Iut whatever happens, there are no
rocks ahead which need occasion
alarm. Should General Arthur be
called to take supreme control, the
jar of the transition will be quickly
over, and in a few days everything
will be running along as smoothly
as though nothing had happened.

Washington, August 20. Satur
day in every stage of the President's
illness seems to have been a day of
anxietv and sometimes a critical
day. to-day, however, seems to be
an exception to the rule. The
morning bulletin was u most gratify
ing one and seemed to greatly re
store confidence. The President's
pulse had gone down two beats
since yesterday. The morning bul
letin was as follows :
a. m. The President has
passed a quiet night, and this morn
ing his condition does not differ ma
terially from what it was yesterday
at the same hour. The swelling of
the parotid gland is unchanged and
is free from pain. This morning
his pulse is t)S, temperature 5W.4,
respiration IS.
EI RTHER ABOET THE TROlIINC
In an interview with a represent
ative of the press this afternoon, Dr.
LUies gave in substance the fallowing
account of the recent exploration of
the President s wouid by means ot
a flexible rubber catheter, reference
to which was made for the hrst time
in the noon bulletin to-day :
Since the operation of the Sth of
August no drainage tube has been
used in the wound. At the morn
ing and evening dressing, however,
a small flexible rubber tube about a
quarter of an inch in diameter was
introduced and a weak solution of
carbolic acid and water forced
through it to cleanse the wound and
bring out accumulated pus. Up to
yesterday morning the surgeons had
lcen unable to pass the tube beyond
a voint distant three and a half or
four inches from the mouth of the
last incision. At that point I al
ways met with an obstruction which
could not be overcome without the
exertion of force, and fcirce the sur
geons did not think it prudent to
employ. The apparent prominence
of this obstruction finally led the
surgeons to believe the depth of the
wound had healed, or at least the
track of the ball had healed at the
point where the rubber catheter was
stopped. A few days since, how
ever, it was noticed that the quantity
of pus discharged by the wound at
one of the regular dressings was
greater than the quantity of water
which the wound would hold after
the pus had been- removed. This
clearly indicated one of two things,
viz: either that the pus whibh was
in excess of the apparent capacity
of the wound came from a conceal
ed and unsuspected cavity, or that
the surgeons were mistaken in sup
posing that the depth of the wound
had healed. It also indicated that
the obstruction which prevented the
passage of the catheter did not in
terfere with the flow of pus outward
from the deep and unhealed interior.
The low temperature of the patient
negatived the theory of a pus cav
ity, and the surgeons therefore came
to the conclusion that the deeper
parts of the wound must still be
open, and that the excess of pus
w hich could not be otherwise ac
counted for must have come from
there, notwithstanding the apparent
obstruction encountered by the cath
eter. On Thursday Dr. Dliss made
a long and careful examination of
the wound, but wa3 still unable to
get tlje tube deeper than about SI
inches. ,On Friday morning, how
ever, during the dressing of the
wound, a slim piece ol cellular tis
sue, a piece about as large as the
end of one's little finger, sloughed'
off or detached, and was washed out
with the pus. This fragment of tis
sue had apparently been half de
tached for some time and had acted
as a sort of rude valve at the point
where the track of the ball seemed
to be olistructed, closing it against
the catheter and against water from
the outside, but opening to the press
ure from the inside and allowing the
subllow of pus from the deeper
parts of the wound. Cpon the re
moval of this fragment of tissue,
Dr. I'.liss again introduced a flexible
rubber tube, and finding that it no
longer encountered resistance, pass
ed it in as already stated to the dis
tance of 12 1 inches. A 1 most the en
tire track of the ball was then thor
oughly washed out The pus which
came from this deeper part of the
wound, although not great in quan
tity, was unusually wiiite, and was
perfectly healthy in character. . It
was in fact better pus than that se
creted by the more superficial parts
of the wound. If any septip taint
lias passed into the patient's blopd
it originated not in the pus, which
has been entirely protected frpm
acid.
j Nothing new will regard to the
i direction of the ball had been learn
ed, Dr. Bliss said, from tho passage
of the catheter to this unusual
depth. The tube was so soft and
flexible that one could only judge
approximately the direction" which
it had taken. It passed downward
and forward toward the point in
the anterior wall of the abdomen
where the ball had always been
supposed to lie. and" that was the
most that could be alfirmed. In Dr.
Bliss' opinion the distance from the
end of the tube to the ball was not
three inches. .
ALL DEI'KXDS LTO. THlt STOMACH. !
In conclusion, Dr Bliss said the
whole question of the future of the
President's case depends now upon
thestjmach. If that organ can receive
and assimilate food enough to make
good the present drain - upon the
system and enable the patient to
i nil . '
ces may oe latai. jt present all
the indicaUons are that the stomach
fact, he said, u We base our hopeful

tinued irritability of the stomach
He says that owing to the swelling
of the parotid gland a mucous col
lection jrathered in- the President's
throat, which it has been difficult
forhim toexpel ; that this has caused
th-; President considerable annoy
ance for two days past, and when
he sleeps this 'gathering of phlegm j
in his throat cu-uscs it rattling; that'
to-day his efforts to expel the
phlegm caused a vioient spell of (
coughing which ended in vomiting i
and that the second vomiting fol
lowed a fit of coughing, imme
diately.. Bliss ,'says that the vom
iting came about two hours after
the nourishment had been taken
into the stomach ; that there was no
nausea whatever, and all the evi
dence, he says, goes to show that
the stomach performs its functions
and is coinltt?ly free from irrita
bility. He said that although satis
fied the vomiting was caused by the
mucoua collection and the cough
ing, : it has been decided to give
tho stomach a short rest, ami that
no more nourishment will be put
into it for a few hours; that ene
mata will bo depended upon entire
ly to sustain the President until it
is entirely safe to resume the giving
of food by the mouth ; that as the
stomach has had this strain, it is
better not to risk irritating it any
with food. He says this statement,
of course, of tho vomiting was not
included in the bulletin, because it
would liavo required too much ex
planation to make it understood,
jarm wonu iave extended the bulle-
tin into a lenghty document, that
the doctors considered the advisa
bility of making this bulletin, but
concluded to simply state that the
vomiting had occurred. He says
the first vomiting discharged the
contents, but the second expelled
about four ounces of bile, and thus
cleaned tho stomach out. The
swelling of the gland is hardened,
and is preparing to supperate. The
surgeons think it will not be in con
dition to cut in less than four or
five days. The last spell of vomit
ing was at 5:15 o'clock p. m., and
up to 9:30 there had not been any
more, so a message then received
from one of the doctors said. De
spite the explanation given of the
cause of the vomiting, their is a gen
eral disposition here to take a gloo
my view of the case.
lue marked reticence ottnesur-i
geons and the attendants on the
President to-night tends to increase
this feeling. They have remained
shut up in rooms near the President,
except that two or three of the at
tendants passed through the pri
vate Secretary's oilice, but they
would not say anything about
the case. Efforts to get even a

Whenever the President appears to
be doing well it is not difficult to
see the surgeons and attendants.
To-night all the members of the
Cabinet met at the White House,
and they have remained close in the
Cabinet room. The countenances
of the inmates of the White House
indicate a feeline of uneasiness, to
say the least. Tiiere is a fear prev
alent that the Prudent is too weak
to be nourished much longer by en
ema, although Dr. Hliss says this
method has so far pi . ved eminently

Washington, August 21. Dr.
Boy nton said about 0 o'clock to
night it was about as well to admit
that this vomiting spell of the Pres
ident might portend serious results ;
that while it was doubtless true
that severe coughing had brought
on the vomiting, it might indicate
continued weakness of tho stomach,
will admit of his taking nourish
ment into it from now on, the case
would look desperate. Dr. IJoyn-
ton thought to-morrow would prob-
ably decide the case one way or the
other. Sion after Dr. Pdiss admit
ed, substantially, that the condition
of the case to-morrow would be like
ly to show whether the President
can recover or not He expressed
himself as feeling hojieful, but said

ceive nourishment in the natural
way if he is to recover. He believ
ed to-morrow would probably show
a favorable turn, and if so there
would be ground for hope. If on
the contrary, the stomach should
revolt against food, thecase will look
badly.
nLAINF.'s DISPATCH.
The following was sent to-night.
Lowell, Minister. London. The
President's sleep last night was brok-
i en and unrestlul ; his symptoms
inroughout tne day nave been less fa
vorable and his gencrel condition
not encouraging. He is unable to
retain food on his stomach, having
vomited twice in the afternoon, the
last time at five o'clock. This even
ing he has been able to drink water
and retain it The swelling of the
parotid gland has not increased. The
pulse and temperature are about the
same as yesterday. His sleep up to
his hour 11 p. m. has been some
what disturbed. We are deeply
anxious. Blaine, Hec.

Account.
Washington, August 17. Con
sid. rable excitement was auscd here
this morning by a report that Gui
teau, the assassin, had made a des
perate effort to escape from the jail,
attempting to kill one of the
guards.

himself by denying that the thing
happened.
DETAILS Or THE AFFAIR.
The Critic, which first published
the story, says: News of the Presi
dent's critical condition gave rise to
a number of rumors at the jail yes

fact that early last evening the guard

news from the ITesident. A rumor
reached the jail early in the evening
that the President was dying, and it
was supposed that Guiteau heard it.

Mr. McGill, upon opening the cell

assailant he finally cocked the re
volver, when Guiteau dropped his
knife and grasped the more formid
able weapon, crying for help and
culling that he w:is being shot. The
pistol was accidentally discharged,
and several guards rushed to the
cell, when Guiteau was disarmed.

WHAT THK W A RnitN AY-.
Warden Crocker, of the jail, says
that there i9 no truth in the ton
of Guiteau's having a knife or hav
ing assaulted a guard. Crocker says
all there is in the story is that Gui
teau was climbing up the bar? of his
cell evidently to hear the talk about
the President. The guard ordered
him down and he refused to obey,
The guard entered the cell, and Gui
teau still refused to get down from
the iosition he had climbed to. The
guard seized GuiU-au and there was
a scnille in which the guard's gun
was accidentally discharged. This
version does not gain general cred
ence. .
HOW THE KNIFE WAS OBTAINED.

two or three inches lon? and half;
an men oroaa and an men or more
left unsharpened, and wrapjwd in
rags or paper for a handle. These
instruments are used bv prisoners
for various purposes. Tfiey are con
fiscated by jailors whenever they
are found. It is also considered
possible that one of the other priso-
neri nad in some way left the knite
where Guiteau could get it. 1 he
assassin considers hia escape very
fortunate, and when a guard said
in his presence that he had thought
the pistol shot '"had settled tho dog,"
he replied : My dear sir. that is too
important a subject for joking. A
life is valuable.

The startling episode created in
tense excitement at the jail. Mr.
McGill, the -uard, told a reporter
this morning that he supposed Gui
