' LONG BRANCH , September 10 I the president has gained anything to day it has boon BO nearly couutcr balanced by annoyances of cliangca bio weather and other local causes that ho caunot to-night bo said to b bettor than yesterday. Tlio day was cestainly begun unfavorably. It is stated by ono who frequents the sicl room that ono time during the nigh the febrile rise carried tlio ' pulsa to 120. Attending physician's ad mi that fever rose rather IIIOIIEK THAN USUAL , at least it was moro noticeable because - cause it came on later in the night. His rest was fairly good nevertheless , and while disturbance left no alarm ing traces and subsided in reasonable time it had considerable effect on his condition at the time tlo morning bulletin wits issued , nnd hence tin day waa badly started. THIi'jlKAVY 11AIN of the morning necessitated a glowing iiro in the sck room. Subsequently an hour or BO of sunshine allowing the windows to bo opanod again , but the return of rain necessitated a return of niitL necessitated n return to close quarters 'arid 'consequent disappomt- tOitho patiout. As One of his tlhis ' 'afternoon. "Ho ' not suit him , and no gloomy patjont has a good day , " During the fore noon , however , the pulse nnd tem perature subsided to the standard of the past few ' days , nnd so remained up to the time of the ovcning examination. Several of the physicians have said for a Ions time that even when the president begun to mend it would bo better than its predeceasor. Thcro would bo good day * and also days that wcro not BO good. Thia Eccma to have been ono of the hitter kind. No ono has lost hope- but there lias been no ground for in , creased faith dining the morning. SECltLTAItY WINl)03t sawtho proident for a few moments , Ho stated af forwards that the patient was no wnrso than ho had expected to BOO him , nnd that his voice sounded quite natural. The secretary spoke only a few words with him , merely exchang ing greetings and assuring him that there wna nothing in the treasury de partment that demanded hin attention nt present. There is AUSOLUKELY NO THUTIt in stories current during the day that the president was no better than yesterday ; that ho merely held his own ; that the air was heavy , moist and chilly , and that it had the olluct of oppressing his mind , rendering him spiritless and dull. Such stories have been telegraphed. Thcro is no founda tion for nny of them. They are en tirely untrue nnd are wholly at vari ance with the real facts. Nothing that attending Burgeons have said could by nny possibility have furnished any basis for buch storiea. The nir Inis boon cool itnd bracing nnd iiad a noticeable invigorating ollect on the president. Ho has been cheerful and unusually bright. He impioved all lost night , and continued to improve > all uud his condition prove day to-day , tion to-night is one of steady im provement. Ho slept bettor lust night Lhan ho has since his removal and better than for some time before ho ioft Washington , Ho partakes of ; oed in increasing quantities nnd with ncroasing relish. Ho lias during ; ho day taken nnd relished be- : wcen three and four ounces of popUmized beef ( that is beef pro- iared for digestion ) , gruel , milk .oaat , three reed birds ; two ( if those 10 ate in ehapo of hash , eating the ibre , and tlio third ho ute wliolo , nking the bird in his fingers , eatin > .0 suit himself and 1'IOKINO THK IIO.NKK clean. All this food ho enjoyed and retained , nil bettor than formerly , i'horo is every indication that ho has assimilated nil this food and , oven letter , that tlio food so assimilated ms gone well into its intended work if adding to his stamina , and haa ma- : erially assisted in thu building up or recuperative procc.sa , 1)11. AO.NKW 'nrnislii's the following card to the National Associated I'ress ; EriiKUO.v , September 10 , Under the h ad uf upocial dispatch to the Philadelphia Press u statement IIUH been made in reference lo thu retire. uont of Hurgemi General 1 lumen , Surgeon J. J , Woodward and Dr. [ leyhurn from the corpi of physicians ittcnding upon I'ronidcnt Uarfiuld , which , if allowed to p.m unnoticed , s calculated to rclk'ct injuuutuly up on the character of tlicto gentlemen , I wish to make the following publica tion : It in &tntod that on the Satunlnjr preceding the rcitioval of the presi dent to Long Branch the itrc&ttlcnt communicated to Dr. Bliss the wish that Dm. Ihrnea , Woudwnn and Iloyburn should not go with liii to Long Branch ; that on this infornia ti&n being convoyed them they \vei' reluctant to bn loft behind , and , it order to adjust the matter , they ap pealed to Dr. Agnew , who clleetca compromise by which Dr ? . Bnrm's Woodwaul and Iloyburn were lo nc company him to Long Branch , mu that their connection with thu ens should conae. In , nn&wor to these statements monts 1 beg leav'o' to say that 1,111 ignorant of uny nuoli transactions , am certain I was never nsked to act a referee in the Rettlomont of any < | iies tion of the kind. , No ono knowin ; the high personal and profession.1 ! character of the three gentlemen it question could for ono moment d < them the great 'injustice ' to buliov Unit they would "Jcmro to continu their connection with the case , aft u receiving information purported t have boon made. , ( Signed ) | | D. II. An.vr.w. Dr. Bliss denies that it is iniondo to perform any operation on the pres ident while Dr. Agnew is here thi time. Ho saya such a thing lias no boon thought ofj nnd that the prrsi dent is not in a condition to bear sue ] an operation , nhd'it would not bi made if contemplated without due notice and unless , allvlho attending surgeons were present. AT UIPNIOIIT the prcsidont's favorable condition ra ported is still cohtinuing , and there ia a probability of , Ilia passing a gooi night. PostiDaattA. ' General James Sccrotarya Hunt , Lincoln nnd Win doni , with their' families , will leave hero ' on Tuesday next if the prcsiden co'ntinucs to imprbyo. They will go to the Twin Mountain house if the con dition of the president warrants it. Secretary Blaino'nnd family will no- company them , .

( Signed ) D. W. BUSH , D. H , AONKW , The oflicial bulletin , when posted , aused n sensation in hotels and cot- .agca at Long Branch , It entire hnracter was n surprise.

Dr. Ag- ew declined to be interviewed or to lake nny extended explanation of thu nilletin. What ho did say , however , vas in i' ' full meaning , rather u fnv- ruble view of the situation , Ho otild uot nay the president had really ained anything fiinco yesterday. Ilo van willing to be quoted us dialing tat UK HAD LOST NOTHINO , bsolutoly held Jii own. This , the octor explained , was not to bo un- orrttoocl us nutateineiit. Though the ire idont' cniulitioii had remained ncroly Htalionary , it would boar u loru favorable coiiHlruetion thai ) that ivor since the president was ahot he uid relupses moro or lend dupiuss- ig on every Kulinduy or Hun- ay. At thexo rulapaus the irosidcnt usually sank beluw .ho condition ho held immediately ireceding thu relapse , and generally had very marked rise in pubsv tcin pcraluro nnd respiration.

Tofgh : ( ho wns in the condition of a man who hnd held hiintolf over Sunday in the condition ho was Saturday , wliitli wna favorable nncl better than that pi Friday , when ho was and had been improving. That being the fact , the statement ( hat ho held lifa own ; that he HAD NO had neb slipped back ; had passed the weekly period of relapse in safety , meant something bettor than that the case waa stationary. To have hohl hia own over such a poiiod wns in dued a gain , and might bo accepted us favorable. Div Agnew concluded by saying : "This is mostly ono of these little TF.MPOKAHV and there is nothing serious about it. Also you can say that there is noth ing serious about it. " ATTOUN'KY ( IKNKUAL MAUVKA11H Biiid : "Of course this evening's bul < letin will cause anxiety among the people , but really there is nothing in the present condition ( ? f the president to cause alarm. Hijjh figures will he satiafactorily explained by the physicians and shown to bo duo to temporary disturbances. If some thing far moro serious than anything which appears in the bulletin had oc curred to-day , wo should not even then have been alarmed. HIM 18 SUNDAY and every Sunday since thn president waa wounded ho has had disturbances , and if onu should have como lo-dav it would not have been surprising ; but none did opine and this slight tem porary nilcction is a mild visitation for the usual periodical trouble ; it is really getting through the periodical disturbance day with but little trouble , and should not bo considered serious , The president is actually getting along nicely. Ho had a quiet day nnd passed it well. Ho has boon comfortable , bright nnd cheerful. I do not believe there is any po- riodicy in this. " Attorney-General MncVeagh wns moro cheerful , and expressed himself moro freely in speaking about what honlono described in the continued fa vorable condition of the president , than nt any I iiuo since ho has boon at Long Branch.
