No official particulars have, however, | been received at the War department. | Ex-Sknator CoNKLiNG arrived in the city this morning and is staying at his boarding-house | corner of 14th and G streets.

The originators of the accusation have, in fact, rendered Mr. Miller a service by their ‘reckless charge. His career as a Union soldier is shown by the War department | records to have been an honorable one. He en- tered the army as a private, and, after getting a | promotion to sergeant-major, he was honorably , by order of Gen. Wadsworth, military governor of the | District of Columbia. ‘THe Ci Walker, the super- intendent of the census, said to-day that so far | | he had lost but few ofhis clerks because of the | delay which is occasioned in their payment. “We | have not yet arranged any form of certificates to It is a delicate thing to do, be- cause we can in no wise pledge the government | for payment.

Carps or DismissaL.—The notices are being sent out to-day to the clerks in the Pension office who are to be officially decapitated to-morrow. A great number were sent out last night. It is deemed strange by many that there should now be a wholesale discharge of Pension office clerks in view of the fact that a large force was but recently assigned to that burean. This is ex- plained thus by Secretary Kirkwood: All of the recent appointments came under the legislative, executive and judicial appropriation bill, which expired on June 30th last. Under the new ap- propriation bill there is no provision made for the force provided for in the old bill. Hence the discharges. AFFAIRS IN ALAska. — Commander -Henry Glass, U.S.N., commanding the United States steamship Jamestown, at Sitka, Alaska, has for- warded to the Navy department along report upon the condition of affairs in that territory, in which he says that the Indians are everywhere | quiet, and show no disposition to give trouble in | ince the establish- | ment of the military post at the mining camp of | Rockwell affairs have been perfectly quiet, and | no trouble is now anticipated.

The one o'clock bulletin, this afternoon, is the best that has been issued yet. The pulse and temperature of the President were lower than at noon of any day yet. The President was given this afternoon a sandwich of raw beef. He ate it with satisfaction. At one o'clock his condi- tion was of the most favorable character. 3 P.M.—ON THE HIGH ROAD TO RECOVERY. The President at 8 o'clock this evening was unchanged from his very favorable condition. He is better than ever before. Each hour he seems to get better though. There is no longer any doubt that he is on the high road to recovery. The great danger is past. | Unless some turn of a very serious and un- | favorable character is taken the President can be said to be practically out of the great danger in which he has been. For the past ten days he has improved so much that nothing too hopeful can be said of his condition, except that his recovery will be rapid. It will be slow but sure, the doctors all say. THE PRESIDENT DOING SPLENDIDLY. Said Lieut. Col. Rockwell at 11 o'clock to-day: “The President is doing splendidly. He has taken his allowances of milk and rum, and has ten aslice of toast. There is manifested a con- tinued improvement in his condition. MRS. GARFIELD was in the sick room early this morning. She spends all the day there, only going to her me At night the President will not allow he the room. She goes to bed early and gets a good night's rest. Instead of getting weaker under the strain and anxiety, as was feared, bears up bravely, and getssbetter 9 regaining the strength she lost by her long and seriousillness. THRRE IS A MARKED CHANGE nthe scene about the Executive Mansion this morning as compared with that which has pre- vailed continuously since the President was ounded. Bright and cheerful expressions have taken the place of sad and mournful ones, and e encouraging statements made by the attend- ing physicians relative to the ultimate recovery of the President have had the effect of relieving the terrible anxiety which has been prevalent for nearly a fortnight. Heretofore the attaches of the White Hou as well as those who were there on business fh connection with the Presi- dent’s illness, and those calling to make per- sonal inquiries, might have been observed in groups conversing in monotones, while to-day the sadness occasioned by the: attempted assas- sination, and the fears which have been entertained that recovery was doubtful, have given place to brighter hopes, and the general drift of conversation is more cheery and pleasant, indicating the great satis- faction which prevails regarding the patient’s condition. Especially was this noticeable in the expressions of members of the Cabinet leaving the White House this morning, each of whom made pleasing and satisfactory replies to all in- terrogatories regarding the President's condi- tion. The guards are still kept about the White House grounds on patrol duty, and will proba~ bly be continued until the President is able to be about. The refrigerating apparatus, under the supervision of Mr. Powell, is practically fin- ished, and all noise caused by its construction has ceased, leaving the mansion and the sur- roundings perfectly quiet and pleasant. The President's Condition Last Night. AN INTERVIEW WITH STEWARD CRUMP. Gen. Swaim and Col. Rockwell are with the President most of the day and night. The doc- tore have night and day watches, though Dr. Bliss, who has charge of the case, is at the house nearly all the time. Mr. Crump remains with the President during the night, and Mrs. Edson stays during the day. This morning as Mr. Crump was leaving the house to go home and get some sleep he was stopped by THe Star re- porter. His feet are still much swollen from his continuous standing for the first five days of the President’s illness. “How did the President pass the night?” asked the,reporter. “Very comfortably,” was the reply. ‘From one to three this morning he had that nervous spell on him which he had the other night. After three o'clock he slept quietly and got a good deal of healthy rest.” THE PRESIDENT’S ANXIETY TO KNOW THE NEWS. “Does the President talk much?” “‘ Not as much as he ys But that is be- cause he is not allow He wants to talk the same as ever.” “ Does he want to know what is going on in the world?” to.

The Star-Route Cases, EVIDENCE FOR INDICTMENTS. It is announced that the prosecution in the star-route cases has prepared sufficient evidence upon which to secure indictments against four or five of the most prominent in the alleged frauds. The Post officials say that their evidence is not ey ot a character to indict the | conspirators, but that it is ample to secure con- viction as well. ‘The delay in preparing the evi- dence was due to the desire on the part of the government to do no injustice to the parties ac- cused.

He is very anxieus to get the news. He frequently asks me about such mat- ters. I always reply that I don't know; that I am with him all night and sleep all day, and don’t read the newspapers.

His talk when he Is al- lowed to say anything is bright and often full of wit. He requested me at the start not to anything that he says, and I promised him I would not.” TALKING IN HIS SLEEP. Last night at midnight the President was sleeping quietly, as he been most of the ev . His symptoms at that hour were all favorable. When he was awake he asked Dr. Reyburn what the news was. The doctor replied that the Cubic! of the several states had it in view to when he (the President) should be out of dan; roclamations aoe inga general day of iving to God for the answered prayers of the nation. The President seemed touched and gratified. In conversation with the President yesterday Col. made the remark to him that “the heart of the nation was in this room.” The words seemed to make an imj ion on him, and last ni . while Col. Rockwell was sitting by his 5 he murmured in his sleep:—“The heart of the nation will not let the old soldier die.” CIRCULAR TO MEMBERS OF THE CABINET.

Hamilton and Dr. D. H. Agnew: The Presi- dent has continued to progress faverabl, the last twenty-four hours. The febrile rise yes- terday afternoon was again less than on the pre- vious da; He has taken since our last telegram of milk and an ounce ef rum, in di- ses as heretofore, besides a sinall slice of milk toast, this anorning, and at noon to-day a smali sandwich of scraped, raw beef, with two teaspoonfuls of Valentine's beef Juice, and an ounce of Tokay wfne of 1868. he medication has consisted of a single nyper- dermic injection of one-quarter of a grain of sulphate of morphia given last night, and ten grains of bi-sulphate of quinia at § a.m. to-day.

At 7 p.m. his pulse was 100, temper- ature 101.6, respiration 24. To-day at 8:30 a.m., pulse 90, temperature 99.8, respiration 22; at 1 #4, temperature 98.5, respiration igned) J. J. Woopwarn, J. K. Barnes, Rosert RETBURN. The President Not Despondent. HE IS GAIN! STEAD OF LOSING STRENGTH. A reporter of THe Star had a talk last night with Gen. Swaim; who is one of the most con- stant attendants of the President. He unhesi- tatingly expressed the belief that the President is now out of danger. He raid that the chart of the case kept by thesurgeons showed a steady daily increase of the fever upto and including Tuesday night; that then it reached the highest point, and from that the downward scale had commenced; that since Tuesday night the de crease of the fever has been more rapid than the increase was formerly, and the opinion now is that the decrease will continue until the normal condition is at- tained, which will be before very long. General Swaim said the President's weakness had been greatly exaggerated; that instead of Browing weaker he is slowly gaining a little strengt! from his regular nourishment, which.is increased daily and which digests well; that yesterday the President ate some woodceck and had some for it; that the President’s eyes and gen- eral appearance showed that he is recovering some little strength. General Swaim said also that the reports of the President growing de- spondent are untrne: that, naturally, his suffer ing and helplessness are irksome, but the Paesi: dent re his condition, appreciates the fact that everything possible is done for him, and he has nerved himself for the endurance necessary under the circumstances. RESOLUTIONS OF SYMPATHY KNIGHTS. BY CATHOLIC The following telegram from Cincinnati, Ohio, | was received at the W! House this morning: “On motion of W. E. Russell, of Lebanon, Ky., the following resolutions weréadopted: Resolved: By the Catholic Knights of America, that we de- test and abhor the recent attempt to assassinate James A. Garfield, President of the United States,—for in his person we recognize a worthy citizen, and as President the agent of all the | states and people, and we smeerely hope that the cruel act may be truthfully ascribed to insanity rather than to vicious or political motives. Sec- ondly: That we rejoice exceedingly in the prom- ise of his recovery, and sympathize with him in his suffering, aud his family in their intense anxiety. Thirdly: That a cdpy of these resolu- tions be made a part of our records, and also tel- egraphed the President and furnished the city press for publication. THE WHITE HOUSE CLERICAL FORCE is now having time to recuperate and take unto themseives some needful rest. Until the past two days they have been on duty, not only all day, but far into the night. Mr. Brown, secre- tary to the President, has not had much more sleep than the newspaper men. The recent ca- lamity was a test of his quilifications for his position. He had managed eyerything with admirable tact. He did not get excited, and has conducted the executive office in a thor- oughly business like manner. In this he has been assisted most efficiently by Mr. Pruden, the assistant secretary, who, as usual on such octa- sions, pulled kimseif within himself and had nothing to say or do but get through his work. He has looked more like a minister than ever. This morning Ke leit the city to take his family to Ocean Grove for the summer. Mr. Hendley, the official stenographer, did a great deal of work, not only in a short hand way, but also in the generalmanagement of the office. Mr. Young, Mr Balway aad Mr. Duke, the executive clerks, have gotten through their greatly multiplied la- bors with briskness and without much sleep. The telegraph office was greatly rushed. Mr. Judd, the telegraph operator, and Mr. Montgomery, who is also a telegrapher, did an immense amount of business. They worked night and day almost incessantly. ‘They are both good men, and no matter how sleepy, seldom “broke” the sender of a dispatch or to “repeat” jn sending one. Mr. Crook and Mr. Martin did not have light labors. The shooting of the Presi- dent, aud the sudden rush of business attendant upon it, demonstrates clearly that Mr. Brown has a force of men under him who are not only thoroughly capable, but are thoroughly organ- ized. PRAYERS FOR THE PRESIDENT ON BOARD THE PASSAIC. Prayer serviceis held every Sunday at the United States navy yard on board of the receiv- ing ship Passaic, Captain J.D.Graham. At these services Chaplain Kramer officiates. Heis always kindly received bythe commander and the officers and crew. Arrangement is made on deck for the service. The church flag is hoisted and the bell istolle@ asa signal for service to commence at 10:15 a.m. The exercises consist of the reading a portion of the church service, singing and preaching. Last Sunday morning the chaplain offered a special prayer for the re- covery of the President. The discourse was on the prayer of David for remission of sin and for help in time of affliction. The text was taken from the 25th psalm. The chaplain spoke of David's confidence in prayer and the numerous answers to ake which God’s word contains. He showed in this time ‘ional calamity there igone source alone to: which we should look for help. Fi MORNING CALLERS AT THE/WHITE HOUSE. Postmaster General Jamesisthe first caller at the White House every morning. He lives at the Arlington, and drops over-very early. The Secretary of the Treasury follows shortly after- wards, and then the Chines¢ minister sends to inquire about the Presideng. | Gabinet_ members follow him and drop in Pillans Pin during oon or early LETTERS OF ADVICE as to the President’s treatment; received at the White House, are often ver: fanny.

WHAT HE SAYS ABOUT JHE “EXTREME DE- BILITY” sToRY. } A Star reporter met Doctor Bliss last night Just after he had seen the President and asked | him how the latter was getting along. “First rate,” replied the doctor, with a took of cheerfulness, which indicated that he fully ap- preciated the improvement in his patient. “His | condition is now first rate,” continued the | doctor. “He is sleeping as sweetly and nat- | urally as possible, (it was 10 p.m.) His pulse is | a little below 100, and his temperature not much | above 100. His condition is much better than it was 21 hours His fever is not so either in pulse or temperature. Eveythin dicates that he is now mending. think t culminating point is passed: there’s no doubt of that. His fever was y than the day before, and to-day it has been less than it | was yesterday. We now look for a steadil daily decrease of the fever, though, of course the President will yet have his ups and downs. “Doctor.” asked the reposter, “is there an truth in the report that there is danzer because | of the President's excessive debilit, “None whatever,” replied the doctor, with | emphasis: “There is no danger to be apyte- hended from his debility. He is no weaker than persons ordinarily are with such a hurt as he | has. You can say that the story of his extreme debility is unauthorized, and that it is—not a ever on account of his debility. He takes more | nourishment each day, and it is grateful to his | | stomach. We give him a milk diet principally, | voce use it assimilates better than anything | else.” “How is the wound, doctor ?” “Tt is doing well,” he replied. “The discharze increases, and the pus more neariy approacltes | laudable each day. To-day the quantity dis-! charged was remarkably large, and it looked | well.” | “Then, Doctor, you believe the worst is over: asked the reporter. | “Yes; unless some unlooked-for complications | arise the crisis is passed.” “Is the progress of the case satisfactory?” “It is entirely so. A week ago we would have accepted the present condition of the case, for | the present time, with perfect satisfaction. Really, the President has had more even pro- gress than could have been anticipated, consid. ering the character of the wound and the shock. We feel comparatively safe now as to ultimate | recovery.” DR. BO: ‘ON THINKS THE PRESIDENT WILL GET WELL. Dr. Boynton said this afternoon that if there | were no drawbacks—and he did not think there Was any reason to fear them seriously—the Pres- ident would, in his opinion, get well. The Pres- | ident is stronger to-day, he said, and more able to move his body. ONE OF PROF. R. B. WILLIAMSON'S AERIATRON:! which was sent to the White House at the re- | uest of Dr. Bliss, is at work in the President's room. This is an arrangement for purifying the air. Prof. jamson’s large apparatus for cool- ing the air, which was sent up from the Govern- ment Printing Office, is at work in Gen. Swaim’s | room. SPEAKER RANDALL arrived in the city at six o'clock yesterday even- | ing, and called at the White House to convey to | the President and Mrs. Garfield his sympatly and at the same time gratification for the im- | provement in the President’s condition. SYMPATHY. The citizens of Kings’ George county, Va., at a meeting held at their Court House, last ! Thursday, county Judge Hunter presiding, reso- lutions expressing sympathy with the President and his family were adopted. DR. HAMILTON CHEERFUL. “The news from the White House is very en- couraging indeed.” said Dr. F. H. Hamilton cheerfully last evening. “Beyond question the | President has had the best day since he was stricken down. The symptoms to-day as re- ported in the official bulletins and ina private communication forwarded to me are of the most assuring character. Here isa fact that should never be lost sight of: Se much time has elapsed. It is almost the end of the twelfth | day. According te the latest reports the Presi- dent’s ‘temperature is nearly normal, and in other respects he is doing excee!lently well. “Ts not the patient's weakness greatly against him?” * There have been unofficial reports about his weak conditien, but I have not. believed them. | Ifyou have noticed, the attending surgeons have said nothing regarding his lack of strength. Here is another point—and it should be remem- bered by the public—nearly every state! that has given cause for apprehension regard- ing the President's case within the last few days has had its origin outside of the sickroom.” ¥. Tribune to-day. A MARYLANDER PRESCRIBES A DIET FOR GUI- TEAU. A letter to Col. Corkhill, dated Northeast, Md., July 13th, reads as follows:—‘I have a great interest in this man (or beast) Guiteau, particularly his appetite. Now, sir, I propose to eut two ounces of flesh from him every day and make him eat it—do so until he ea/s himself up. Then he will have a historical reputation as the man that shot the President and then eat him- self up. Yours, with respect, W. J. DARLING.” P.

Detailed Statement by District Attorney Corkhill, United States District Attorney Corkhill has authorized the publication of the order to correct certain fatse st “The interest felt by the publ of the assassination and the many lished justify me in stating that the following is a correct and accurate statement concerning the points to which reference is made: sassin, Charles Guiteau, came to Washington city on Sunday evening, March 6th, 1881, and stopped Mowing, in ments: in the details stories pub- fact.

We have no anxiety what-| He then secured a room in another part of the | city, and has boarded and roomed at wi places, the full details of which T have. On Wednesda the assassin deter- mined-to murder the President. He had neither money nor pistol at the time. About the last of May he went into O'Meara ner of 15th and F streets, in this c ainined some pistols, asking for the largest calibre. He was shown two, similar in calibre, and only «different in the price. On Wedu une 8th, he pur- chased the pistol which he used, for whieh tu paid £10, he in the meantime borrowed $15 of a gentleman in this city, on the plea that he wanted to pay bis board bill. On the same evening about 7 o'clock he took the pistol and went to the fuot of i7th street and Practiced tiring at a board, firing ten shots. He then returned to his boarding place and wiped the pistol dry and wrapped it in his coat, and Waited his opportunity. On Sunday morning, June 12, he was sitting in Lafayette Park and saw the President leave for the Christian Church, on Vermont avenue, and he at once returned to his room, obtained his pistol, put it in his hip pocket and followed the President to church: he arious entered the chureh, but found he could not kill | him there without danget of killing some one else. He noticed that the Presideat it near a window; after church he made an ex- amination of the window and found he could reach it without any trouble, and that from this point he could shoot the President through the head without killing any one else. The fo!low- ing Wednesday he went to the church, ex: the location and tire window and became satis- fied he could accomplish his purpose, and he determined, therefore to make the atiempt at He learned from the papers that the President: would leave the city on Saturday, the 18th of June, with Mrs. Garfield for Long Branch; hé there- fore determined to meet him at the depot. He left his hoarding place abont 5 o'clock Satur- | day morning, June 18, and went down to tne river, at the foot of 17th street, and fired five | shots to practice his aim and be certain his pistol was in good order. He then went to the depot, and was in the ladies’ waiting-room of the depot, with his pistol ready when the Presidential party entered. He says Mrs. Garfield looked so weak and frail that he had not the heart to shoot the President in her presence, and as he knew he would have another opporta- nity he left the depot. We had previously engaged a carriage to take him to the jail On Wednesday evening the President and his son, and I think U.S. Marshall Henry, went out for aride. The assassin took his pistol and fol- jowed them and watched them for some time in hopes the carriage would stop, but no oppor- tunity was given. On Friday evening, July 1st, he was sitting cn the seat in the park opposite the White House, when he saw the President come out alone; he followed him down the Ave- nue to 15th street, and then kept on the oppo- Site side of the street up 15th, until the Presi- | dent entered tne residence of Secretary Blaine. He waited at the corner of Mr. Morton's late residence, corner 15th and H, for some time, ang then, as he was afraid he would attract at- tention, he went into the alley in the rear of Mr. Morton's residence, examined his pistoi and waited. The President and Secretary Blaine came out together and he followed them over to the gate of the White House, but could get no opportunity to use his weapon. On the morn- ing of Saturday, July 2, he breakfasted at the Riggs House about 7 o'clock. He then walked up into the p&rk and sat there foran hour. He then took a one-horse Avenue car and rode to 6th street, got out and went into the depot and loitered around there, had his shoes blacked, engaged a hackman for $2 to take him to the jail, went into the water closet and took his pistol out of his hip pocket and unwrapped the paper from around it, which he had put there for the pur- pose of preventing the perspiration from the body dampening the powder, examined his pistol, carefally tried the trigger, and then re- turned and took a seat in the ladies’ wattinz room, and, as soon as the President entered, «d- vanced behind him and fired two shots. These facta, I think, can be relied upon as accurate. and [ give them to.the public to contradict cer- false ramors in connection with this 1ost atraclous of atrocious crimes.” “DIABOLUS” TO GUITEAU, “THBOLOGIAN AND ASSASSIN.” This morning, in the mail of District Attorney Corkhill, was @ postal card enclosed in‘an en- vyelope to him, postmarked Fairfield, This card is addressed ‘Charles Guiteay, Theo- CRIME. | t nined | | Telegrams to the Stare.
