Dr. Agnew , immediately after the morn ing dressing , spoke freely and cheer fully about the president's condition , this morning , regarding it as favor able. Ho said : "The president is much better this morning than ho was last night. Ho has slept better than for some time , and rested very well indeed. Thu affection of the lung is less troublesome than it has boon since ho'was in Washington. His temper ature has fallen , as has also his pulse and respiration , and the condition is .much improved. " Attorney General MacYoagh was cheerful , and spoke strongly. He said : "I have seen Dr. Agnew and Dr. Bliss , and both tell mo that the president passed the night in comfort , and sound and HEALTHY SLKE1' . Ho awakened less frequently , and when ho did awaken seemed refreshed and stronger. At no time did ho re main awaku longer than was neces sary for him to take refreshments. His condition this morning is better than it was yef.torday , and better than on Saturday. This every way im proved ; ho is bright and cheerful , and has an appetite , and ate a good break fast. I am assured that the long af fection is much better less serious and gradually passing away. From what attending surgeons tell me I believe we are warranted in , / taking a morp cheerful and hopeful view of ttio"case. " - - f COL. JIOCKWELL watched with the president the first part of the night and says to-day the president is a great deal butter and slept soundly , awakening as unfre- ' /quent intervals. The lung trouble / has been misunderstood , and is not as ecrious as represented , but temporary \und passim ; away better now than when patient was removed from Washington. This trouble is purely local and not spreading nor necessari ly serious. No Indication that lung trouble aiiscs from pus cavity or from blood poisoning but may bo duo to bad condition of the blood , but not pyamia. Ho suffers no pain.from it , and coughed less last night. Ho has passed safely over yesterday's depres sion. General Swann , who succeeded Col. llockwell at the bedside , says sub I stantially the same as Col. Rockwell , and that the president took nourish ment and relished it ; that yustcroay's depression was merely ono of ex pected developments. The case is bettor now than before it. This f * morning ho is bright , cheerful and alert and hungry. The breakfast con sisted of turtlu soup , porridgu , milk , toast and tea.

" The president smiled with an ex pression of great satisfaction. Mr. James then approached the bedside. The president easily raised his arm clean from the bed , and shook hands with a long and hearty grasp , which James describes as warm And aston ishingly strong. So steady and pow erful was the president' * grip tlmt Postmaster James Bays ho was amazed , The President "Tako a chair and sit down hero. I wish to talk with you. " Gen. James "Oh , no , Mr. Presi dent , thank you ; I would prefer to stand , and as I cannot really remain any length of timo. I will not sit down as I fear I should find myself yielding to thu temptation io remain beyond my K train time , which is at hand. " The President "Well Mr. , . Post master General , how have the affairs in your department , been Eoing on ? ' " Postmaster Gunorul "Very well indeed. The attorney general and myself have established a regular sys tem of civil service which is doing well , and everything is moving along smoothly. Wo have mado' no ap- pointmontti or removals. " ' "Tis well " said , the president , smiling with pleasure ; " and how much have you saved the country ? " Postmaster General "Thus far there has been savo'd iu the postal depart ment about $1,500,000 , and the sys tem and economy through which this has been accomplished is established now. " President "Is it on n permanent basin , and will saving go on ) " und the president elevated his eyes and look ed the cabinet official full in the face. Postmaster-General " Yea , Mr. President , the system is established. It will last and will continue to oper ate in the future as well as thus far. " ' I am very glad to hear you say so. It is well , indeed , Mr James , " and then withdrew. Ho had been re quested by the surgeons to refrain from allowing conversation with the president to turn much on the depart ment talk , and not allow it to go HO far as to unduly excite the president's mind.

" Dr. Agnew has informed Dr. thss that the president's condition is Lich that he deems it un- cccssnry to remain with the atient until the return of Dr. fiunilton to-morrow ovcjiing. Ho lid ho felt justified in going to PJiil- Jelphia on the first train Tuesday lorning , and did not think it neces- iry to even delay his departure until 10 morning dressing.

Tins is a fo riking feature Of the president's case tc "day , and ib i.s admitted that thence til , nco the president was shot that his million has been such as to warrant ch a peculiar departure from the tublishcd custom.

To-night ho is nuv ting quietly and the Bur An ma say ho is perceptibly improving ; liiu enjoys occasional naps and pro- sav ind sleep. His sleep , of late , has wrc ally changed in character , The Am und wakefulnesa winch ing until his removal , and for two or three days after that marred hia sloop , has entirely disappeared , and when ho closes his eyes now ho falls into a deep 'ranquil sleep. THE rAUOTItl 8WELLINO has almost entirely disappeared , with all it * attending symptoms. Hardly any perceptible pus now comes from that affection. All the incisions but the latest made have actually healed , and the lost has so far healed that it will bo closed up naturally. The attending physicians believe that by Wednesday morning every trace of the parotid trouble will have en tirely disappeared. The wound is healing now with very perceptible rapiditygmnulation being strong and healthy. From the point of the entry of the bullet to its present location is a distance of about nineteen inches. The last incision made in tercepted the channel made by the ball at a point six inches from the mouth of the wound. The most reliable nnd pliable catheter in thu possession of the surgeons was this afternoon carefully inserted and used for the purpose of definitely as certaining if the ball was fully encys ted. Examination was VltOTlUOIBD AND TUOHOUUK. Dr. Bliss told n reporter that E at this examination the cath eter could not bo inserted beyond nine inches , at which distance it met a solid obstruction of completed gran- ilation. That is , the wound is to-night healed up solidly for three and one- half inches from the furthest point the catholor cosily reached some time ago. The solid growth from the ball outward is three and one-half inches. Thcro is ono and one-half inches in the healing process in the path of the bullet wound since Saturday morning , a remarkable gain and the greatest made in the entire illness of the pres ident , and ono indication ot the recent progress made by the patient. The channel of the wound for the entire distance of the nine inches is still open , ia OKANULATINQ HEALTHFULLY , nnd is perfectly lubricated by a natu ral flow of pus in the proper quan tity. The rib tnat was shattered by the bullet has boon carefully watched. I'he shattered bono could bo plainly seen und studied as long as it re mained bare , through the last incis ion. To-day's examination showed that the other rib at that point is now covered by a icalthyand solid granulation , rf full half an inch in depth. The jxact quantity of stimulants adminis- .cred to tlo ( president , after PERSISTENT INQUIUY , ias been admitted by Dr. Bliss to reporter. Every four hour.s the prcsi- lent is given , by a auppority process , vhat is equivalent to two grains of niinino. Up to this reading there ma boon given him in tlio fbm o ? jrandy punch , made with milk , throe oaspoonfulls of the oldest ind finest brandy obtainable. Svcry three hours hereafter the lame quantity in the same form will jo given every few hours. This form if stimulant is relished greatly by the ircaident and haa a good effect upon lim. Dr. Bliss to-night gave the fol- owing as the latest explanation of the LUNO AFFECTION ; "The mucupulont matter which the ( resident has been lately ejecting ras duo to bronchial affection entirely , 'hat affection advanced downward intil it got below the pharynx , and the undent matter was raised thence , fo pus of any kind has been is- ued since at all.

The question has been raised here whether Guiteau can bp tried fur murder should thu president die at Elboron. In a legal aspect the case pre sented would bo simply that of a per son who ha * received a mortal wound in the District of Columbia , from the effect f which hia death had taken place elsewhere , and under these circumstances the court of the district would not have jurisdiction of thu offense as homicide , but would bo homicide to thu consideration of the assault merely with disposition , which , as hold by strong legal author ity , and by thu common law of thu Dis trict of Columbia , scunm to preclude thu conviction of Guiteau for murder , now that I ho president haa been ru moved to Long Branch.
