The long and bitter contest , over the election of 'United States Sena tors in the New York Legislature, to fill the places of Es• Senators Conk ling and Platt, was bappily termin ated on Friday fast by the election of Hop. Eibridge G. Laplurni, for Mr. Conklipg's term, Mr. Platt's term having been filled a week _pre vious by 3 the electiou of Hon. War- Tell Miller." o Mr. Laphani's election seeds to have been the result of a compro mise conference . held on Friday morning, at which Conkliugs friends in the Legislature withdrew their opposition amidst the happiest of feeling attd agreed to support Lap ham. The final vote in Joint Con ventiOn stood as'follows : The Joint Convention met at 4 p: m., andkated- for Senator with the following result : - • " In the Senate, Laphani 22, Polter In the Assembly, Lapbam. 70, Potter 37.. • Total, Lapham 92, Potter 42. Necessary' to a choice. 68.. The chair, announced the election of Lapham - nnd declared the. Joint Assembly dissolved. This happy conclusion of a pro tracted struggle wil tend to har monize the` pnrty divisions in New York, and leave the party in a stron ger position than befpre. . One thing may be said of COnk i lings friends the l.r..gislature that u s to their credit. They dare not in the face of an outspoken public ' sentiment against it, vote with the -Demociats to adjourn• the . Legislature -without an -election. The Democrats had vainly-hoped for . such a res Ult, and are deeply disappointed thiit they have failed. Theiesporisibility Was of too grave a character •Tor the Conkling members to assume it. The result teaches that -public men must not set themselves above the poWef which creates them. When publiC 'sentiment • itaserts its power men who come in conflict with it must give away.. This is a lesson Conkling and Platt have dearly learned'. In answer to the alleged inability of the newly elected Senators to fill their places With credit to,the State, it, may .safelY be predicted that tlinyAnow .too much to:put themselves - in direct conflict with the popnlitr sentiment of the people they are chosen to represent. 6= Thu Philadelphia Pres:: is Making a timely and vigorous crusade against the plunderers of the Treas-' nry of the State at Harrisburg who have' been dishonestly • profiting out : of the contracts •for furnishing sup plies, for the two Houses, doing ie.- pairs,• etc. Harry Huhn ; Chief Clerk of the House, and Delaney, Senate Librarian, are implicated as being uulawlully connected,' secretly, in some of these contracts by which the State has been swindled.

The patient's skin is moist and he is sleep ing.'quietly. The slight aggravatton pf the:febrile synipt.lins after the last bulletin is regarded by his surgeons as merely a temporary fluctuation, and uo especial importance is attached to it. At 10 a.

RELAP S E WAsuusaa . 0N,31i 23, 10 P. 11.- •The, explanation given by the surgtons,. of the unfavorable symptoms which min ifested themselves in the President's case, to-day, is as',follows: Soinetime during the night, or ear ly this .morning, the patient's wound !wtiNtz-ftyx -av v.= -the," - Ueleei .thargiog freely, bname obstructed a ,or near the inner end of the drainage . Aube, while the proOts pf suppuration in the deeper parts of the wound tinued. A partial , or complete ,putt cavity was thus trained and,the dis charge from the mouth. of the, wound . nearly ceased. The natural result was a' chill followed by a higher fever,, the patient's pulse rising td a inaximum of about 130, andl temperature 104. As rigor followed by increiwed feVer is a Symptom of pytinia, of,formation of an abcess and of Other - unfavorable. 'complications, it caused at first a great deal of anxiety. A careful examina tion, however, of the pus discharged by the wound showed its charaeter perfectly : normal and healthy ; and, as far as appeared from the patient's general condition, I all indications of pyiremia were absent:: These facts relieved at once the fear of blood poisoning. An internal 'ex amination was then made, of the .ab dominal and hepatic regionsywitli view of ascertaining whether there were any signs of abcess at the sup posed location of the :bullet. No. un usual tenderness was found in that part of the body,any other mdiea tion -Of a chawredi condition. From these facts, taken' in connection with the sdanty out-flowof pus, the aion .was drawn that an obstruction existed near the inner end of the' drain age' tube, which prevented a free dis charge. This imprisonment _of pus, technically known as "the 'pus cavity," is entirely adequate to explain the chill and increased' fever, since they are its, natural and almost inevitable conse quences. 'lt was at first thought that the obstruction might be the result of the process of healing,.which had whol ly or in part closed the wound between the end of the drainage tube and the -deep suppurating surftice. Early this' afternoon, .hoWever, the obstructiOn wholly or partially gave way and the outtlOW of pus becaine freer. The nausea from which the patient suffered subsided and lie obtained relief. This proved that the obstruction - had not been of apermanent character. . At the evening dressing of the wound the diseha - rge of pus was quite as copi ous as usual. Since that time the pa tient's fever has Leen steadily aba ting, and at the presew, how (ten P. nt.) his pillse has fallen to 100, and he is sleeping quietly. Drs.

In explainining the nature of the operation performed by Dr. Agnew this morning and the necessity for it, Reyburn stated :that.the,idlreetlon taken by the hill after - it' entered the body was forward and slightly down- ward, until it struck one of the ribs. It was thence deflected still firther downward and a. little to the right so as to make an acute angle with the line of the back. When a probe was introduced to the wound to the depth of three or three and a half inches, its directiop was such that its inner end Ras only about an inch and a half from the outside of the body at a point , lower down. The examination made in the presence of Agnew. and Hamil— ton, this mornipg showed that a pus' cavity had formed in the track of the ball' near and beyond the point where it glanced from, the rib ; and that this cavity could be reached by a direct in; cision three inches below the mouth of the wound. It was decided at once to pet form the operation. ' A wide - cut was made into the pus cavity, which 'was reached at a depth of little more than an inch; •with the aid, Of a probe and- a pair or forceps, a drainage flexible tube of rubber, per forated with , holes, was then introduced into the wound made by the ball, and after being carried throughAhe pus cav- J. K. B AMIE.% J. J. WOODWARD its- was brought out through the.newly made incision. One end of, the'tube was then projected from the cut made by the. 'surgeon's knife and the- other from the mouth of the original wound. As the pus -oozed into the tube through the perforation, it could escape front either . end• and was repeatedly washed out with a weak-solution of carbolic acid and water, which was thrown through the tube in a stream. ,The charge which followed the opening of tIo pua estvity,.. Ittsux of fir iy . intisfacto •ry to thesurgeons and. Was soon follow-. ed by - relief - to the patient. The drainage - tube _ has been left as originally placed and will remain there for the'present. if the wound dischar ges freely through the new openibg the tube may perhaps be withdrawn from the old one in order to ,allow the latter to heal. The incision, was inn direct line with the deeper parts of the wound, and it is thought that the pus will • escape through it without any - of the obstruc tion which impeded the outflow along the track of the ball and which caused, the pus cavity. In reply to a questiO'n'whether anoth er pus cavity was likely to form' and bring:about a recurrence of , the'alarm ing . syniptoms of 'yesterday, Dr. Rey bOrn said "I cannot . answer positive-. .I . y.aut as the riewyuss• now has_ free egress. lao notllmA it probibre 1 - 61 - another cavity will form." When ask ed whether there would be or, had - been any symptoms of pyatinia, Dr y Reyburn ' said : . " None whateirer,. Rigor . Of COIItSQ may be a symptom of oyiemia, but it . is also a symptom of various oth er co mplications, and does not point to . pyrem ia in,the - present case: ,The pus continues healthy and the charakeristic symptoms of pyzemia are' all wanting. I No indicationsof blood-poisoning have been observed, and we have no reason to expectiany. The President's condition and syniptoms to-night are more .fa vorable and encouraging than at any time since the chill yesterday. morn, ing. - M.—The attending physi cians report. the President is resting quietly, and although: they have not thought it best - to (listuib hitn by ta ,liing his - pUlse and temperature, they believe he is entirely free. from fever.

The febrile rise, which has alwa i r occurred lin the latter part of the "hy, is now 'becoming noticeable, but the fever is not high and is not accompanied by any particularly unfavorable symtoms. 11:30 v. sr.—Dr.l3l* said to-night that the President has had, generally speaking, a very quiet and comfortable day. There has been no recurrence of rigor and up to threes. 31.; the pa tient was entirely free from fever. At that hour however the daily febrile use began and eontiniied until the evening examination, when his , pulse "reached aboht.its - msidninm of 110, and tem perature height of .101.5. Since then, both have slowly but steadily fallen. This febrile rise is the - usual afternoon fever which the patient had all of last week • and although it is a little more strongly marked to-day than it' was previous to the formation of the pus cavity: Saturday it does not in • the judgment of the surgeons, point to any disturbance or indicate any un favorable, change. It will probably subside entirely before midnight. The nourishment given* to-day con sisted of milk, :beef extract and a little toast, and was sufficient in quantity _to fully maintain the patient's strength. No anodynes • were administered throigh the day, but the usual hypo dermic injection of about one-eighth Of a grain of sulphate of morphia was given after the dressing of the wound this evening... Therl has,been a fairly . copious' discharge of pus from the new incision, and its character is perfectly healthy. About . two an a half table spoonfulls were obtained when tha wound was dressed this morning, and . an equal quantity to-night, besides that taken up by the absorbent cotton dur the day. A slight pressure upon the front wall of the abdomen increases the outflow, and for that reason the amount discharged during the exami nations is much greater than that which flows out naturally in the in the intervening intervals. - The truck . of the ball is now open to Observatiou through the new incision as far as the point where it passes be tween the ribs; and when pressure is brought to bear upon the abdomen, the puc may be seen welling out from . the deeper part of the-wound. Communi ion.betwen .the mouth of the nld wound to that of still maintained by means of the drain age tube, which passes in through one and out.the other, and which at every examination is cleared of the pus by a stream of ' - earboliied water from a fountain syringe. Replying to questions Dr. Bliss said "There is a posSibility of the formation of another puS cavity, although there is no reason at present to expect it, because. the discharge , is now free and uninterrupted. Shonld,' however anoth er cavity form, its existence will be at once indicated by tbe general constitu 7 - tional disturbance which it would cause. 'here is no danger of the formation of a pus cavity without the accompaniment of warning symptoms, such as a hag gard and depressed expression of face, rigor, and greatly increased fever, These symptoms would at once show the nature of the disturbing influence?? Elting asked whether the blood could become poisoned by the reabsorption of pus from the hidden and enclosed.cav ity, Dr. Bliss said: "Healthy 'us is not taken up by the blood and cannot contaminate it. It is, only when the pus becomes disorganized and diseased I that it is re-absorbed so as to cause pyremia. The . President has never at any time had a symptom of pyremia, and the period during - which that com plication is likely to occur is now nearly past. Pytemia generally manifests it self before the' end of the fourth week. if at all. We have no especial reason to apprehend it in this case; and there has certainly been no indication of it as yet." 1, - _L Dr. Bliss' attention was called to the fact that five employes of the Execu tive Mansion are suffering from mala rial fever or malaria in some form due to the condition of the Potomac Flats; and the queStion was asked whether the President was not to some extent similarly affeeted, and whether the ap parent, periodicity of the afternoon fever did not indicate malarial influence: He replied: "No . symptoms of malaria have been observed in the President's oase, and the regular recurrence of his ;fever between 3- rant. and midnight is due to other causes. Surgical fever is always the highest in the afternoon, and evening and lowest.in the morning. About ten grains of quinine have been given' the President daily for two weeks past, but this has been done rather to tone tip his nervous system than to counteract any supposed influence of malaria." Dr. Bliss said that he understood that the experisients with the induction bid. ance had been reasonably successful. No application of it to the President's we* would be made at present ; If the hall should; become a - ) Source of distur bance and 'danger, a contingency which he did not apprehend, it might be worth vihile.iven in the Prident's present condition to try- the balance as a means of. definitely locating it ; but as_ long flw the ball gives no (rouble, its , exact location is not 4 matter of vital impor tance, It can be found at a later day, When the President grows better and stromet.

WowNemo; July 26.-7:00 P: The Prisident has done well during the day. At the dressing of the wound, after the morning bulletin was issued,l a displaced spiculum of broken rib about half an inch long was removed. The track of - the wonnd it this point was dilated and a large drainage tube inserted for the purpose of facilitating the discharge, of pus. Since that time he has had several.quiet naps and tak en More nourishment than on any of the last five nays, .and without gastric irritation. When the wound was dress -11 this evening, the discharge of pus was satisfactorily-?abundant. At noon his •pulse was 104, temperature 98.4, and respiration 19.. At 7 P. m. his pulse ivits 104, respiration 22, tempe • rature, 100.7.. [Signed,] rlitass; ' BAtINER • . l'lteyburn: 11:30 v. m. —There has been more excitement and anxiety throughout The city with regard to the Condition of the . President to-day; than at any time since last Saturday mornin4. The re moval of several small splinters of bone from the wound at the morning dress- ing, was exaggerated- into a serious painful and weakening operation. The reticence of the attending surgeons with regard to the details of the Presi- dent's case, was taken as a tacit admit' sion that something was wrong. A personal note which one of the suraeons happened to send to' Prof. Bell, was. in- terpreted as an indicatiOn that the ball was to be at once located by an induc _ tion balance, and them cut out as a last resort; and the general impression pre- Vailed at . the depsrtnient, in the streets and throughout the city, that the Pres ident's condition was in the highest de: gree critical and :alarming. FOr all these rumors 'nod exaggerated state ments, however ; there was little if any foundation, and. the fact:. - that they gained credence at all only Shovis how much the faith of the public; in the President's ultimate . recovery has been shaken. by the eventst of the last four days. - In reality the President has been more comfortable than at any time since the formation of. the pus cavity, and nearly regained, the ground which he lost Saturday last: . Taking - out the splinters - of bone from the wound nt• the morning dressing was a very sim ple matter, and instead of weakening the patient it removed one more source of irritation and gave free egress to the dischnrge, and, asa natural eonsequenee improved his general ,condition, The "operation," if,operation it can be call- was nothing more than ascertaining by the insertion of the finger into the wound, where the sharp slivers -of bone were located and then sliding a pair of bullet forceps along the Seger as a guide, getting hold -of the splinter and withdrawing the forceps and splinter together.. .There -was nothing in the operation to weaken the patient or cause any unusual pain. The Presi-- 1 derieshortly afterwards felt. asleep And had a nap of half an hour, from which he awoke refreshed. - He took nourish ment.' consisting of beef extract,•milk end lime water, and toast at frequent intervals and he was not made restless by fever,. He passed .a quiet and com fortable day. .A slight febrile rise oc ciirrect late.in the afternoon, but it soon subsided and at this bour his tempera ture . and respiration: are normal, his pulse is .100 and he is sleeping quietly and soundly. His condition - is thought :I • by the attending surgeons to be more favorable now than at any time • since , the chill of last Saturday morning... The News of the, President's . As- sassination at Rome. 'The• following extracts are from a letter received by President - Hinsdale, of Hiram (Ohio) College, from , his wife, written July 4th 'and sth. It shows 4he deep feeling - manifested at the President's home on the reception of the news of his attempted assassina tion:— - "Hiram bus passed through some eventful scenes since you left.

It seemed to . trie the sun bad been.blown out. gra, Patterson said to me: 'Will Mrs. Garfield preserye her, wonderful presence of mind stew?'
