The physiclans, In their morning bulletln, say nothing of the pus, but it has been learned since that the discharge yesterday was prace tieully stopped, and that that of this morue ing, while it was considerable, was NOT ENTINKLY BATISFACTORY. The vivlent rewhing of yesterday, they say, would of itself have the tendency to rotard, If 110t to stop, the flow of pus, for the press- tire upon the abdomen would tend to cluse the ovening mid to keep tho pusat the bot- tom of the wound. The movement whicl the {President must - necessarlly make in retehing of ftself tends to retard the flow ot pus and to keep it at the bottom of the bullet's channel. One eminent phystelan, holding intitmate relations to the attending physiclans, sald this uorning that, in the condition of the stomach, regnrded as 1t was, n stoppago of the flow of pus might be expeeted, as the forees of the body might bo directed from the wound itself to the stomach, and the pus miglit even be retained temporartly without danger, of pyrmin, al~ though If the cessation should longcoutinue, and the President’s stomach still refuse to operate naturally, there would be iinminent tunger of blood poisoning 'as well as danger of collapse from debllity, © The best that can besald Is that, as the day wears away, no mote nlmming symptoms have appeared so far us the publie knows, but .
