At 11:30 o’clock this morning he had a severe chill, lasting half an hour, and fol- Jowed by perspiration.

His extremities were cool thirty minutes, although the rigor was not as severe as he had suffered in Washington,” MIDNIGHT BULLETIN —UNOFFICIAL, Hope and despondency have vied with each othor for the past twenty- four hours. The people were so des- pondent that they took great courage at the issuing of the bulletin, but the admission Lf\y the physicians that the fluctuation was liable to occur any moment caused renewed conster- nation. It is now generally ad- mitted that the presidents eondi- tion ever since he was shot has beon one of constant loss, and that in favor- able periods he has not recovered what each relapse cost him, and in no in- stance has gained what he actually lost. Dr. Bliss hasnever talked so discouragingly as to-night. He sent a dispatch to a friend, saying: ‘‘The president is not so well. I have uo hope of his recovery.” In a conyersation with the reporter of the National Associated Press, Dr. Boynton said: ““The president just now is comfort- ble, as he is at present sufferng no pain. That means nothing more than that ho is quiet. He had a slight im+ provement during the day, but 1t has not been maintained. He is mot where he was before the relapse.” 2 A. M. BULLETIN—UNOFFICIAL. Condition unchanged at this hour, and the president is quietly resting. Mr. Parnell cabled Mrs. Garfield a letter of condolence to-night. General Swaim and Colonel Rock- well still think the president will pull through, although both are evidently depressed. The lights in the president’s cottage were turned out at 11 o'clock and the house closed for the night. The pres- ident was then asleep. At 1 a. m. the president was sleeping quietly and the indications pointed to an un- eventful night. He was described as being comtortable. SUNDAY. 9 A. M., BULLETIN— OFFICIA, ELBERON, Sept. 18.—At the exami- nation of the president this morning, the temperature was 98, pulse 102, and respiration 18. There was no perceptible febrile rise during the night, the pulse ranging from 102 to 112. The cough was less tronblelomel than on_ the previous night.

Dr. Boynton, after the rigor ex- perienced by the president in the af- ternoon had passed away, said it was the same in character as those ex- perienced in Washington and was one of the incidents of his condition and might recur at any time. It was only alarming n eo far as it showed what might occur. Two enematas of fibrous beef were given during the day; one early in the morning and the other after the dressing of the wound. The president slept quietly most of the afternoon, and when sponged off after 4 o'clock expressed him- self as refreshed. His pulse was then 108. The surgeons and attendants were summoned at half-past 5, the president baving remained awake to make the evening dressing. Although the president had been half raised 1n bed and been eating grapes, Dr. Ag- new said on his way to the cottage that the situation was one to giye rise to grave anxiety. Col. Rockwell was also quoted as saying the vresi- dent’s condition was very critical. The evening bulletin was unexpected- 1y hopeful and the best which has been issued for four days. It created amazement at the president’s rapid recovery from the morning'’s unfavor- from the conditions at noon, Dr. Agnew and Dr. Bliss came together from the president’s cottage after issuing the lelulin and were over- whelmed with congratulations over the unexpectedly good news. People almost refused to believe the figures, and the surgeons said when taey were first indicated they had doubted and looked a second time with great care at the instruments, the figures were found correct. There were universal expressions of but amazement that the president should so completely have shaken off the ill effects of the rigor, The surgeons referred to Gar- fields phenomenal STRENGTH OF CONSTITUTION and maintained that the bulletin was the best in nincty-six hours. ‘It was a chill,” said Dr. Bliss this even- g, ‘‘and was caused, we think, by the depraved condition of the blood, and pulmenary troubles seem less pronounced to-night and there seems to be a yielding of many malignant symptoms this evening, The respira- tion has been 18 since 2 o'clock this to have passed away.

(Signed) Buss, HawmivLToN, AGNEW, LoNe Branch, Sept. 18,—Dr. Hamilton has authorized the reporter of the National Associated Press that the president's condition this morn- ing is fully described in the official bulletin, and that, while the bulle- tin is not decidedly reassuring, yet it is slightly encouraging. At noon Dr. Agnew said the president was com- fortable and so far to-day had exhib- ited nothing to indicate that he had suftered perceptibly any ill effects from the chill of yesterday. SIX P. M. BULLETIN—OFFICIAL, EuperoN, Sept. 18.—-The presi- dent, though quite weak, has passed a very quiet day. There has been no recurrence of chill nor mental dis- turbance. At 9 a. m, a slight febrile rise took place and began to subside at 11 o’clock, at which time the tem- perature was 100, pulse 116, respira- tion 20. There has been no increase of cough or ehnnge in the character of the expectoration. At the even- ing examination, 5:30 p. m., the tem- perature was 98,4, pulse 102, respira- tion 20. @ (Signed) Brass, AGNEW. ' THE PRESIDENT'S CONDITION this morning is one which warrants a renewal of hope. The surgeons say it in- dicates, on the whole a less critical stato of the case and shows that the president has done little more than merely hold his own. He is better than at any time yesterday and better than at any time within the past forty- eight hours, without, however, hav- ing made any perceptible gain, His condition is improved so far as subsidenco of alarming symptoms and a better ap- pearance are concerned, and at pres- ent indications the favorable condition will continue during the day. Every- thing would seem to eneourage the belief that & good Sunday has been begun, General Swaim gives the fol- lowing assurances: “T was with the president most of the night, and he has started in on what believe will prove to be the best Sunday he has had in many weeks, This condition during the entire night and now warrants the belief that he is now on a bed-rock on which to make a clear and solid .start, He had less cough during the night and its char- acter was very much better, and he experienced no trouble from it in any way. His MIND 1§ PERFECTLY CLEAR and during the night it showed not a gimmer of dimness, He talked a good deal when awake, He experi- enced no trouble from his stomach, that organ doing everything that was required of it. The temperature dur- ing the past forty-eight hours has got within a normal range, which is a fa- vorable symptom, THE LUNG TROUBLE seems to be modifying its grave symp- toms and during the night gave him no trouble whatever, 'I'he wound is “What indications were there of the chill last night " OMAHA, MON dischargoe from it has a more healthy appearance. " The attending more cheorful surgeons feel and agree with overy word made in the state- ment of Goneral Swaim and en- dorse it as a careful official statoment of the situation this morning. The surgeons say that Gen. Swaim's in- timate knowledge of the patient; his perfect acquaintance with the case, and his constant attendance at the president’s bedeide give to any state- ment made by him, especially when accompanied with the endersement of the bulletin, the full character of and official declaration. GENERAL GRANT, at 12:15 n'clock, walked over from his place to Francklyn Cottage, saying he desired to receive some personal as- surances as to the actual condition of the president, When he approached the cottage quite a number of persons came out of the cottage to wel- come him. There were among the number Miss Mollie tarfield, Mrs. Rockwell, Gen. Swaim, Secretaries Windom and Hunt, Post- master James, and a number of the prusidfint'u personal attendants. The general did not intimate any desire to enter, and extended conyersation was held on the parlor porch Gen. Grant came away from the cottage more cheerful and with his face covered with a smile of satisfaction. Meetin a reporter of the National Associates Press, he was asked: “General, what do the people at the president’s cottage tell you in re- gard to the president’s condition 7" ““What they tell,” he replied, ‘‘is of a moro reassuring character.” ““Do they refer to the chill of yes- terday?”’ ““Yes, they say thatthereare no evi- dences of a recurrence of the chills.” “Do they say that he has suffered sny ill effects from the chill?" “No, they assure me that he has not suffered any ill effects from the chill, and also that he is quite com- fortable.” ““What do they assure you is the actual condition of the president new?” ““‘What they assure me of is that the resident is now on an upward turn. he term ‘upward’ is the exact lan- sumze they used in describing his con- ition to me at the present time. At 1 this afternoon the temperature of tho president was reported to be slowly rising by the immediate at- tendants, when the president said that at present there were no indications to warrant the opinion that there would be a recurrence of the chills, or that any new complications would arise. They did not deny that the chills may occur, and that new com- plications may arise, but they say the; expect them so long as the president’s hlomaia in its present septic condi- tion. THE SURGEONS say the febrila to-day was unusually A% The teruporaturedid nol gs be yond 100 and the pulse did not go igher than 120—figures much below the average of most of these fevers of recent occurrence. Dr. Bliss says the fever was slight and the indications furnished by it were favorable, At 7:350 p. m. ATTORNEY-GENRRAL MACVEAGH telegraphed Secretary Blaine, Au- gusta, Malne, that everything was of a better nature and the president was having a good time. At 7:30 p. m. it was reported that the president had just had another rigor. The author of the rumor was one of the colored attendants, who, hurrying from Francklyn Cottage, was heard to exclaim: “De president has had another chill. I know he's cold,” The same man half an hour later said the president was asleep and comfortable, but he insisted that the president was cold at the time he referred to. Attorney General MacVeagh, on hearing of the rumor, hastened to the president's cottage. He returned almost imme- diately and said that he did not be- lieve that the darkey's statement was true, as he found the president quiet, with no indication of his having a chill. MacVeagh says that the presi- dent did have a chill. It came on at 7:16 p. m, and lasted ten minutes. Tt then passed off without any percep- tible fever and without having left any perceptible effect. THE CHILL was not at all promounced and was hardly noticeable. Its approach was 80 void of violent symptoms that its real nature could hardly be ascer- tamed before the chill had gone, MacVeagh says the chill was so very slight that the president took no no- tice of it. It seemed like a shiver, Col. Corbin, desiring to return to Washington early in the afternoon, called upon Doctors Agnew and Bliss and Gen, Swaim, who were together, and told them of his desire, saying he would not go away unless he had their ofticial assurance that there was no probability of the presi- ident having a relapse. Each as- sured him that thero was no indication to induce any fears of u relapse, and that the situation was such that they thought he could go. The colonel departed on the o'clock train, Dr, Hamilton went home on the 6 o'clock train and will return Tuesday, unless summon- ed sooner. HAS TAKEN A TURN, There is good authority for the statement that Dr. Agnew to-day as- sured Dr. Pancoast, of Philadelphia, that he thought the last night crisis in the president’s case was turning, and that the president had found it far better this morning. It is not true that Dr. Hamilton's presence here last night was due to a sudden summona by Dr. Agnew, stating he thought the end had come. Dr. Ham- ilton’s visit was voluntary and unex- pected, MACVEAGH T0 BLAINE, MacVeagh notified Blaine nt had a chill lasting ten minntes, The announcement that the president had another rigor re- newed the excitement of last night, though in a modified form, At 0 in an improved condition and the o'clock Dr, Bliss came from the presi- o five dont's cottage and gave the following aocount: $ ‘Yo, the president has had another chill; he is now well over it. After the rigor yesterday had subsided, in dications seemed to warrant tho ex- pectation of a recurrence of chills, Wo thea put ourselves in read- iness to be always prepared to meet them. We kept a close watcli on the tem perature. We kept him wrappod up in warm flannels and bathed him whenever necessary with hot alcohol, Until after the avening dressing there appeared nothing to indicate disturh- ance, but matters changed after that. Some time before even there apy ed signs that he would have another chill. T arranged him earfully and comfortably and went to supper, to be prepared for work ahead.” Said Dr. Agnew: ‘“‘There will be playing by the band to-night,” and o few moments later he was summoned [to the president’s bedside by the in- formation that he hada chill. ““When 1 got there the chill was almost over, and the ensuing fever was in such disturbances a8 are incident to the | condition of the patient's low stato of | system, tho condition of the blood and stoppago of the healing process.” MACVEAGH'S CABLEGRAM, The following was sent t Lowell, Minister, London: The presi- dent passed a comparatively quiet and comfortable day, but this evening he had another chill of lessduration than that of yesterday but sufficient to in- crease the very great anxiety slready existing. He has also been slowly growing weaker. His present condi- tion excites the gravest apprehension. (Signed) ACVEAGH, “Previous to the chill,” said Dr- Bliss, ‘“‘the president was cheertul. He has taken nourishment and stimu- lants, including two and a half ounces of fibrous beef. There was no fever preceding the chill, ' which lasted about ten minutes and was not nearly 80 severe as yesterday, During its continuance the president was cold, shaky and trembling. His pulse went to 134, temperature 100, respi- ration 22—pulse two beats lower than yesterday, temperature two and rés- Fintlon not 80 high. The chill was aas sovere in every way. The lungs remain about the same. As hereto- fore, there was less expectoration and coughing.” “How about the other symptoms!” ““There has beem no particular change in the wound. Tt is about the same. The channel has diminished somewhatin size, but not frgm healthy causes, for instance, when being cleaned it now holds but one oul of water whereas three weeks ago it| held two and one-half, This is not hlu result of granulation, because no fepair has been going on for the last three days The granulation isnot healthy. There is no diminishing of the eavity as has been shown by the lessening of the elasticity of the walls, There has been no_contraction dufiri the last of puss along the channel;" there is ho soreness, no swelling' and no other evidence of pus along the track and the wound is fully encysted and there are indications of an absence of all irritation at the end of the track, ““Will there be mor¢ chills?” ““Yes, they are likely to occur so long as there is no repair. Until the repair is resumed we may expect dis- turbances about twice in twenty-four hours. There are now evidences of repair.’’ ‘““Is the president worse than last night?” “No worse and no better," Dr. Bliss continued that there was no swelling of the gland, but the pro- cess of healing in all the wounds has stopped. There was no hallncination during the . febrile rise to-day. He does not seem to get enough nourish- ment to keep up the work of repair. He is SUFFERING FROM INACTION. Ho has mild sweats after each ricor. The prospects are that he will have no more rigor to-night. That the fever will subside at midnight and the ulse run from 106 to 108. @ looks upon = the case as grave and watches it closely. This has been a fearful fight. My God ! ou know nothing about it outside. There is this to say about it, howey- er, the experience and skill of a life- time has been put in these last twelve weeks, The president has a chance, and we are going to fight for it, to the end. Things are rocky just now, but no patient of mine has ever been buried until he was dead. AT 11 ¥ M. the situation at Elberon was un- changed, The president was no worse than he was last night, but was weak and very low and he was much exhausted. Secretary Kirkwood arrived this morning. ~ Secretarics Blaine and Lincoln will be here to-morrow. The consulting dectors censuro Dr. Bfinlon for saying that the pres‘dent had an abscess on the lungs. They say there is no ground for such a re- mark. ONE A, M. BULI®FIN, Socretaries Hunt, Windom and Kirkwood were summoned to Elberon Io|by Attorney-General MacVeagh, to confer over the wording of the bulle- tin to Minister Lowell. Al the facts of the situation were laid before them in conference and the cable as sent was the result, At thishour the mem- bers of the cabinet are inbed and the lights in Franklyn cottage are outand communication with it cut off till morning, At this hour the gloomy view of the case is that the struggle is between death and an exhausted man's will-power, and hopeful views of Pres- ident Garfie'd’s phenomical streng'h of constitution, as Dr, Agnew calls it, may do for him what it hag shown it- self in the past able to do under even more desperate ciroumstances, Indications, Natlonal Associated Pross, Wasixaroy, D.

Wasiizaron, D. €., Sept., 17.—Ser- geant Mason is still contined in a cell at the Barracks here and bears im- prisonment well. He has occupied o time by writing an_address, entitled, *“To all good peoplo of the United States who hate nssassins,” In this he says: “I am one who stands ready at all times to do right, yet i the case of mine I have done a big shooting at the would-be assassin, (Guiteau, who has caused so much sor- row and suffering to the president and to good people of the world, that has in the last two months caused to be offered up to the GIVER OF ALL GOOD all the prayers that men and old women could invent, and I hope they have done some good for the presi- dent and people who believe in prayers, (I hopo all do); yet I am one who knows not how to pray or what to pray for. T must eay that while that wretch Guiteau lives prayers will do but little good. As for all assassins, or they who attempt the life of a chief magistrate of any country, let it be empire, kingdom or republic, let them DIE AS S9ON AS POSSIBLE. Put them in a ditch ten feet deepand, all who wish, throw mud at them. Do 80, and then cover the place with brimstone so that ho grass can grow. I want no one to applaud me for my unsoldier-like conduct, yet I am of the many who would take the life of any assassin rather than guard him. Guiteau ordered soldiers to be sent to the jail to watch him, to keep the enraged people from him. He is in a strong jail that has cost the counti thousands of dollars and the wretch was put in a No. 1 cell where he could look out at the soldiers coming there to keep the people away, while he slept like a good man, and I was one of the soldiers. T take the words of a great soldier, who would do anything to put down a war and end a rebel- lion: “Why not say, DEATH T0 ALL ASSASSINS.” T would not care if they shot meon hat Tdid. 1 would do t again, and all that hiuntd™moe is, | that I did not hit the wretch I hate. Yes, luck was not mine in this case. He may go that way yet. The intent to kill hun is as bad as if I had done the killing. T made my mind up to do the shooting and I did it, and am NOT ASHAMED OF IT 80 far. Let others say what theymay, but if the United States army of 20,- 000 men was at that jail, 20,000 would kill Guiteau and the other 5,000 would desert it before they would have anything to do with him, Half of the - soldiers of this command can say that watching that jail to keep people from hurting Gui- teau is worse than a campaign, for it is a campaign combined with strict camp duty. A soldier rides out thero two and one-half miles, goes on post duty for two hours, comes off’ and lies down on the floor with wet clothes, while poor GUITEAU IS SLEEPING the sleep of a good man. What a shamo that poor soldiers must do what they do not like to do and some- thing they ought not. to. There are eleven or twelve guards more at the jml who get 8100 per month, while the soldier gets from $13 to §25 a month,” Numerous applications have been made for permission to photograph Mason, but General Ayres has refused all requests, sayir.g he did not think it right to make a show and regarded the act of Mason as cowardly.

These principles President Garfield loved and advocated with all his great power. From his life-long and magnificont record we know that the triumph is most earnestly wished for by him. Whether by will of Providence President Garfield lives or dies it is a sacred duty of the repub- lican party to use all proper means to maintain the principles, President Garfield, when a soldier for the Union, never faltered because an Garfield’s voico cauld be heard he would bid his old comrades, ‘Do not abandon the principles because I suf- fer.” In contending forhis and their principles the republicaas will follow his example and obey his command, whether {t is proper at this time to advocate the urinciffleu which the president always believed to be in- jurious to the country, is a question for a commission to determine for itself.” 0.

Cobb, esq., of this city, was arrested last evening about 9 o'clock, under suspicion of robbing Mr. Cobb's safe of $265. The suspicion pointed to Mr. Bowman, as a copy of the combination of the safe was found on the floor of his writing and figures and the same writing corresponded with that in the county clerk’s office and. was identified by several parties. Mr. Bowman has been gambling of late, and may have taken the money in Lopefof making up some of his losses.
