The Prcslilciit's Wound.

Washington, August 20.

Irian Interview wllh a roprcscntatlvo ofthe press this aflcrnooti Dr. Ullss gnto insubstnnco tho following account of tho re-

cent exploration of the President's woundbr motns of a flexible lubber oathotor, ref-erence to vvlilclt was mado for tlio first tlraolit tho noon bulletin

Since the operation of tho 8th of Augustno dralnago tube has been used In thowound. At the morning and ecnlng dress-ings, however, n small flexible rubber tubeabout ntptarter of nn Inch lit dlamotor wasIntroduced, and a vtcilc: solution of carbolicncld ami water forced through It to clcansothe wound and bring out Iho accumulatedpus. Up to jestcrdny morning tho sur-geons had been unablo to piss the tubobeyond a point distant thrco and nhalf or four Inches from tho mouthof tho last Incision. At that pointIt always met with an obstructionwhich could not bo overcome without thoexertion of force, aud forco tho surgeonsdid not think it rrudent to employ. Thoapparent firmness of this obslaclo finallyled tho surgeons to bclloo the depths of thowound had healed, or at least tho track oftho ball had healed at a point where thorubber catheter was stopped. A few dayssince, houcver, It was noticed that thoquatitlty of pus discharged by tho wound atone of the regular dressings was greaterthan the quantity of water which tho woundwould hold after the pus had been removed.This clearly Indicated ono of two things

viz.: cither that tho pii", which was inexcess of the apparent capacity of thowound, camo from a concealed and unsus-pected cavity, or that tlio surgeons wereml'taken In supposing the depths of thowound to h.io healed. It also indicatedthat tho obstruction which prevented thopassage of the catheter did notinterfere withtho flow of pus outward from tbo deeperand unhealed interior. Thelowtcmperaturoof the patient negatived tho theory of a puscavuy, anu tne surgeons thereforo came toUo conclusion that tho deeper parts of thowound must still bo open, and that the ex-cess of pus which could not be otherwise ac-counted for must have come from there,notwithstanding the apparent obntructlonencountered by tho catheter.

On Thursday Dr. Bliss mado a long ex-amination of tho wound, bnt was still un-able to get the tubo deeper than aboutthree and a half inches. On Tridiy morn-ing, however, during tho dressing of thowound, a small pleco of cellular tissue, apiece about as lalgo as the end of one's

sloughod'otf or became detached,and was washed out with tho pus. Thisfragment of tissue had apparently been halfdeiached for somo time, and badacted as a sort of rude valve atthe point vihere tho track of the ballseemed to be obstructed, clo.lnz It againstthe catheter and against water from theoutside, but opening to pressure from tneInside, and allowing the outflow of pus fromthe deeper parts of the wound. Upon theremoval of this fragment of tissue Dr. Blissagain Introduced a flexible rubber tubo,and, finding It no longer encountered re-sistance, passad It In, as already stated, to adistance of twelve nnd inches. Al-most tho entire track of the ball was thenthoroughly washed out and cleansed. Thepus which .came from this deeper part olthe wound, although not local In quality,was untisually white, and was perfectlyhealthy in character. It wa, tn fact, betterpus than that secreted by the more superfi-cial parts of the vv ound. II any septic tainthas pjssed Into tho p alent's blood, it orig-inated not in tho pu, which has been en-tirely protected fioiu tho air, but from thatsecreted in the suppurating surfacebetween ihe recent obstruction aud thomouth of the incision. Nothing new withregard to the location of the ball has beenlearned, Dr. BlNs said, from the passage ofthe catheter to Mils depth. Tho tube wasso soft tint one could Judge approximatortho direction which it had taken. It passeddownward and forward towatd the point Inthe anterior wall of tho abdomen, w hero ithad always been supposed to lie, and thatwas the most th it could be alllimsd.

Dr. Hamilton thought, ho said, that thoend of thctttbe lacked about the Indies ofreaching the ball, and the Intel cnlngptcehad healed. In his (Dr. Bliss') opinion,however, the di.tance from the end of thetube to the ball was not so Ki eat.

Tho President's Sufferings DuringSeicu Weeks.

A Washington special of August 21 to theChicago lntcr-Ucta- after stating that sevenweeks had elapsed the day before since thePresident was shot, "and that his chances forrccov cry were not regarded us good as theywero two ytechs before tho dato of the tele-gram, says :

"It is a marvel how much tho Presidenthas endured, and If it had not been for Illsimmense plijslcal strength he would cer-tainly have died weeks ago, The caso willpass into medical history as one of the mostremarkablo on record. Tho President wasshot at 0:20 a. m., July 2, and for four da safterward the phjsiclans looked for thedeath of tho sufferer. On tho Cth

had been so marked thatono of the physicians advertised tbattho chances wcro more than even for thePresident's recovery. Prom tho Oth untiltho 23d of July tho pulse fluctuated between88 and 108. The temperature ranged

08 and 102,8, and tho respiration be-

tween 18 and 21. On the 23d there was amarked change for Iho worse iu tho Presi-dent's condition. Hq was attackod withrigors. The pulse rose to 123, temperatureto 101 and respiration to 20. It was a timeof great danger. Tho discharge of pus fromthe wound coined, and there were indica-tions of tlio much-dreade- d pyaimh. Dr.Agnow was summoned front Philadelphia,and on tlio Itli ho made an incisionthrco inches below tho orlllco, open-ing a pus cavity and taking away bits ofbono which had accumulated In tlio track oftho wound from tho splintered rib. Thepatient Improved rapidly after this opera-tion, und It was the general opinion that howould certain! recover. Tho precise loca-tion of tht) ball was determined on tbo SOlbInst- - by (he induction balance In the handsof its master, Profusor Bill. On the 7Di ofAugust Indications of tbo formation of an-other pit J cavity wero obered, and the dayfollowing a second operation was performedfor the relict of the patient. When tho firstIncision was mado the President did not takeany aiia?llHtli. Tho pain was partiallydeadened by tha application of ether spraylo tbe body lu the region nf the. wound.The patient h id becomu so weak by his pro-tracted lllncs" that ether wue administeredwhen the second operation was performed.A cut was mado underneath the first Incis-ion and below the, twelfth rib. Two ouncesof pus were discharged from tbo cut, aud afreer channel for the flow was made. Thoether greatly retarded the President's prog-ress. His stomach, always indicate, re-fused to receive Iho customary amount ofliquid, aud vomiting and nausea wtre fre-quent. From the Oth to tho 15th of Augustthe pulso, temperature and lesplratlonwere high, and on the day last mentionedsame what seemed to bo an utter phj stealcollapse. Tho pulse run up to 130 and thatemperature declined to normal, and evenbelow tho normal point, Indicating weak-oes- i.

Porafew hours It was thought tbatthe Pro. Ident would surely die, "and almosttil hope of his recovery was abandoned,lbo report was drculafed abroad tbat hebad ceased to live, and obituary notices ofIhe President were published In tho liveEuropean paper.. The patient slowly ral-lied, however, und since then Ihe doctorsbave been devoting their personal attention,to the restoration pf tbo tone of tbeItomach,"

A ratal Llectric Shock.

A strange and terrible accident occurredlast evening at the gcncratlng-room- s of theBrush Electric Light Company on Gansonstreet. About nine o'clock lastevcnlng twoyoung men named George Leonard Smithand Henry Kimball, In company with an-

other v oting man and two girls, stepped In-

to the station nnd stood looking at tho ma-chinery In motion. Smith was very Inquis-itive and wanted to experiment. Tho man-ager, Mr. U. Chaffe, allowed him to try aharmless experiment, which consisted intaking hold of ono of the brushes attachedto tho generator, In which the electricityIs held until curled away over the wires,and then, taking hold of tlio hands of biscompanions, agenth current of electricitywas passed through' their bodies. Smithwanted to take hold of two of tho brush-es, but Mr. Chaffo grabbed his armand held him back, tolling him it was suredeath to touch them. Tho party Bhortlyafterward left, Mr. Chaffo telling them toget out. About a quarter past ten o'clockSmith suddenly camo Into tho building,seemingly under the influence of liquor, noleaned dicr tho rniling which keeps outsid-ers at a dl.tanco from the machinery, andbefore a warning word could bo Bald bo hadgrabbed tho first and third brushes. Mr.Chaffo saw what ho was about to do andmade a Jump for him. His hand stuck fastto the brushes, and giving tho engineer thoword to btop tho engine be took hold ofSmith and endeavored to pull htm from hishold. This he was unablo to do, but as soonas the engine stopped Smith raised himselfto his feet, and, throwing up his arms, gavoa loud gap and expired Instantly.

The thing was dono to quickly that thosewho witnessed It could scarcely believe tbefrejes. binitli'a face had a palo bluish tintand was drawn out of shape. His handswero badly burned, and on sevoral of tholingers tho flesh was burned to tho bone.Of the unfortunate man but little could belearned, save that ho was formerly a scooperat tbe Wheeler elevator, but for tho nastweek had been handling lumber in various5 arils on the Island. He was about twenty-eig- ht

ears of age, nnd In the neighborhoodof live feet eight inches in height. It wasstatod that ho has a wifo and child llvlng'intha city, but where the writer was unableto ascertain. Mr. Chaffo says the generatorIs one of tremendous power, and would killfifty thousand men ns easily as one. JlnffaloCourier

Gnitcnu's Attack Upon n Jail Guard-Ho- w

Ho Passes tlio Time.Washington, August 18.

Warden Crocker, of the Jail, now admitsthat Gulteau did bave a knife and used it Inhis assault upon Guard McGUV Wednesday.Tho weipon used by Gulteau turns out, ashas been stited, to boa "cheescr," but,instead of having been made from a shoe-shan- k,

was merely a piece of corset steelabout four inches long and three-fourt- ofan inch wide, with a handle. made of paperwrapped with a common string. It has onoedgo quite sharp. In fact, It was, saysMcGlll, aS sharp as a razor, as It cut entirelythrough his coat nnd vest and nearly reachedbis skin. Tho Warden thinks that theweapon got Into Qultcau' cell from anothercell. About the first of each month theprison beds are taken out and steamed.Crocker thinks that In returning them a cotfrom somo othercell In which tho knife wasconcealed was put in Gultcau's cell, insteadof the cot ho formerly bad; but this hardlylooks plausible, as In washing and steamingthe cots It would appear that anything con-cealed abopi them must have been discov-ered. Tho accepted theory is that Bedford,tho colored man who was hung for themurder of Lelth, left tbe knife In the cell,and Gultca found It. Goneral Crocker Is ofopinion that Gultcau's restlessness the nightbefore tho nttack was occasioned by tbo

that tho President was dead. Evenbefore the appearance of additional sol-

diers at tbo Jail Gulteau manifested thomost intense uneasiness, and when tho sol-

diers moved, he would go every five or tenminutes to his window und look out at theirmovements, und McGlll, who has been seenbut little by Gulteau In making his rounds,startled the wretch, and he, thinking an at-tack was to bo mado upon him by a mob,resolved to light.

It Is Mi Gill's custom at night to gothrough all tho corridors of tho Jail and scothat tlio prisoners aro not engaged In mis-chief. 'In l he did early yesterday morn-ing, and, finding Gulteau sitting on tbe sideof his bed, and thinking something wrongin his movements, spoke sharply to him,and askod him wliut he was doing. Thisarou.ed tho prisoner, and, Jumping to hisfeet, ho rushed spasmodically at the Jailer.When questioned as to why be attacked tboguard, Gtiite'iu said ho had no busines.lu his cell at that hour of tbe morning, andhe only Intended to put him out.

Gulteau Is oven more foud of writing nowthan lie was when first put in Jail. He fre-quently asks tbe Warden for pens and pa-per, aud whiles away tho tlmo writing fet-ters. Thcsb letters are all tuken in chargeby tho Warden, and for the most part treatof assassination. In nearly every ono ofthem ho says ha believed when ha shot tbei're.uient mat ne was simply carrying outGod's will. The tone of tome of the letterswould Indicate that bo thought the Presi-dent was dead. Gulteau Is still engaged Inwriting up his llfo, which be says will makea book pf 600 pages. The episode pf yester-day morning has not Interfered greatly withbis work. In the pages be wrote yesterday,and which wero handed to tbe officers, bespeaks of ''the late President Garfield,"and writes of "Mr. Arthur, President of tbeUnited States," This imnrestlon he hasdoubtless got from tbe guards having beendoubled and tbe general a.pect of affairsabout the Jail. Numerous letter, and postal-ca-

rds coutlnue to come to Gulteau, mostof them abusing bliu, and predicting tbat bewill be hung. One postal-car- postmarkedSprlugueld. Ohio, reads as follows:

'Charles a, Gutteaut I will sire you 1500 pernight to lecture after you have sorted elabtyears lu tbe Dry 'iortugas. I will advertiseyou us tbo 'groat unhung-,- ' but will not-b-

responsible for (he caprices of Judge Lynch."

Tho Bourbons of Vlrftlnln.Tho "Consorvativo Domocratlo" par-

ty of Virginia in Its platform pays thotribute of vice to virtue by tlcolnring Infavor of oqual rights nnd exact jttsilco,several variutlos of freedom, and fairolections, nnd givos utterance, to rathermoro than tho customary profusion ofglittorlng generalities. A party thatshould declare) against tho cardinal vir-tues nnd oponly roptidlato tho principlesof justico and Uoccnoy would bo n nov-elty, but ono that vehemently deniesthatit is opposed to an honest ballot andn fair count shows a consciousness thatn ohargo to that effect is not wholly un-founded. Tho Bourbon platform mak-ers carefully avoided bolng oxnlicit onany practical quostion ntlectlng thorights of citizens. Thoy do not men-tion colored citizens, to recognize thoirotptal rights and givo assurance- of thoirprotection, thoy say nothing about thocapitation tax which has been tho in-

strument of curtailing tlio suffrage andthey mako no refcrenco to any practicalmeasures for securing thoso b'lossingsoffreedom of which thoyprofess to haveso much admiration. Thoy aro alreadyknown by their deeds, ontl their profes-sions aro to bo taken nioroly as a forcedtributo to tho principles of their adver-saries.

But It is with roforonco lo tlio debtquestion that thoso Consorvativo Dem-ocrats mako thoir most conspicuous dis-play of hvDocrisv. Tiiov havo beenloudly claiming that what chiolly distinguished them from tho

wos a faithful regard for thocredit und honor of the State and a lirmdetermination to moctall its obligationsto tlio 'last dollar. Thoy havo beenparading as tho party of honosty nnd ofildolity to public obligations, oxprossingtheir horrqr nt tho idea of repudiationand inviting conlidenco nnd support bytheir lofty profcosions of integrity. Andyet no soonur do thoy meet in conven-tion and contcmplato tho question onwhich thoy aro otpectcd to tako issuowith tho ltcadjitsters before tho peoplothan thoy make a complcto surrendorof their virtuous position. By theiraction tiioy acknowledge tho strengthof tlio Keatljustcr movement, show thatthoy are afraid of public sentiment, andyield the wholo ground to their oppo-nents. Practically, thcro is no dillcr-enc- e

on tho tlcbt question between-tli- o

Bourbons and Keadjiislers.The Bourbons, of course, mako a

virtuous flourish of sentimont. Thoysay that tho "maintenance of tho publiccredit of Virginia is tho essential meansto tho promotion of her prosperity;"they "condemn repudiation in overyshape nnd form ns a, blot upon her honor,a blow at lier permanent welfare, tin ob-stacle to her progress," etc. This is allvery tine, but wliat do they propose todo? Continuing to prato of "hon-or," "justice" nnd "sound public nol-icy- ,"

thoy finally work themselvesdown to a plain proposition to unify thedebt into a singlo class of thrco percent, bonds, and then thoy plcdgo thoparty "as a part of its policy not to in-

crease tlio present rato of taxation."What is tho sonso of talking about pay-ing tlobts, and, reznrdless of w'-i- t mavbo necessary for the purpose, making aiiuu noi to increaso iiucniionr xuo

J tcadjitster platform, in referring to thodebt question, merely roasserts its ad-herence to tho plan embodied in tholliddlebcrger bill, and it so happensthat tho measure, much maligned byBourbons, is based simply on a. thrcoper cent, bond and no incrcaso in thorato of taxation. It lias tho great mor--it

ovor tho liourbou declaration of be-ing practical and business like. Iu thonutnoious "whereases" of tho pream-ble to tho Kiddlebergerbill is one to thoeffect that "tlio existing rato of taxa-tion is recognized to bo tho highest thatctn be endured under tho circumstancesof the long d.strcss and heavy burdensof this people." That is tho starting--

point of tlio wholo business.Then it is calculated what rovo-nu- o

can bo relied on as tho pro-duct of this rato of taxation and thoassessment provided for by law. It isshown how much of this will be requiredfor tho necessary oxponses of tlio Gov-ernment, "alter adopting nnd applyingevery practicable measure of reformnnd economy," ami how much for thomaintenance of public schools as re-

quired by existing law. Tho balauco isstaled as tlio amount applicable to tlioliquidation of tho State's obligations.Thou the nominal debt is adjusted, onprinciples for which somo sort of equityis claimed, so that when taken up in thonow throo per cent, bonds its roquiro- -monts will bo fairly met without an in-

crcaso of tho rato of taxation.This is not an honest method of deal-

ing with public debts. Little can beclaimed or it on Iolty considerations ofhonor and regard for public credit.But it is practical and businoss-lik- e.

Having determined to payonly three per cent, interest und sotto incieaso tho rato of taxation.tho Hcadjustors simply trim andlit tho dout to tho requirements oftho caso, claiming all tho while thatwhat thoy lop oil is not fairly duo any-how. Now, what do tlio Bourbons do,or ruthor what do thoy declare as thobasis of their action? Thoy pronouncefor thrco per cent, interest und no in-

crease of tho rato of taxation. Tholtiddloborgor bill proposed tho bestHint can bo dono on that basis, and iftho Bourbons undertake to do morothoy will simply fall, and, nf tor now

tlio debt question will still re-main to be settled. Nothing couldbettor show the shallow hvpocrisy oitho Bourbon professions on tlio subjectof tho public credit and tho honor olVirginia. So far as tlioro is anythingto cliooso between tho Consorvativo-Domocratl- o

Party and the ltcndjustorParty on tho dobt question, it is infavor of tho latter, which puts its propo-sition into practical form and pledgesitself to carry it out. On all pointsbut tlio debt quostlon tho Hcadjustorshavo everything in thoir favor, A. V.

JUiJfTho Ohio Democrats aro castdown by tho discovery that thoro arosomo things in politics which oven abarrel of money is not poworful enoughto secure.

Wo can imnglno tho frown that vlllcorrugato tlio brows of somo of our

contemporaries on the Domo-crati- o

sido when thoy road that plank'ifitho platform recently put forth by thoBourbon party of Virginia in regard totho pat ment of tho Stato debt. Wo makospecial reforonco now to that class ofDemocratic editors liko Mr. Watterson,of tlio Louisville Courier-Journa- l, whofelt particularly scandalized when Mr;Mnhono mndo his way over to tho Re-publican sido of tho United States Son'nto Chamber, and voted steadily withour folks in making up tlio standingcommittees. Tho howl of " repudia-tion" that mado overy Bourbon news-paper throat hoarso in tlio land is notyot forgotton, and tlio ltopublicnn partywas denouncod without stint or limitfor accopting Mr. Mnhono's voto, or forallowing him in any way to nfllllatowith thorn. " Republicanism and

was tho beautifully sound-ing alliterative headings of Democraticloading articles, and tho iniluonco wasleft upon tlio unsophisticated roador'smind that tlio only honest mon in thiscountrc nnd especially In Virginia,wero l.jund battling with Mr. Mahononud tho Rcadjustcrs.

Well, this party of honest dobt-pay-or- s

iiavo recontly held their Stato Con-vention and promulgated a platform inwhich thoy declaro their intentions fortho futttro, provided tlio peoplo 'arcfoolish cnourrh to trust them withpower. So far as tho pavment of thoStato debt is concomed, their profes-sions aro a sham and . pretense. Thoysot out by "condemning repudiation inovery shapo and form," and then imme-diately procoetl to declare tltcmsolvosin favor of a practical sohemo of repu-diation. Thoy plodgo themselves to useovery effort to secure tho settlementof tho Stato debt "consistent withhonor aud justico" (just what tho

promiso), but add immediate-ly In tho saniu paragraph that theywill "not incrcaso tho present rato oftaxation." Now, overt body knows that"tho picsont rale of taxation" in Vir-ginia does not contcmplato tlio pay-ment of either the principal or theinterest on tho public debt as it nowstands, and tho creditor of tho Statoknows it as well as tho Bourbons do.This Is merely practical repudiation inits simplest form. Tho creditor istold Hint ho shall be paid somehow, butthat tho only mothod known to pay adebt, namely, to increase tho .rato oftaxation, shall not bo adopted. Theymight, forsooth, rob tlio school fund,nud cheat the children of tho Com-monwealth out of their elementary ed-ucation; but this thoy swear thoy willnot do, and as they have no other re-sources at their disposal, thoy simplypromiso what they cannot and do notintend to perform.

Next, they propose to not only, re-pudiate a portion of tlio State debt byscaling it down in "a manner consistentwith honor and justice," but thoy pro-pose to fund iho dobt lit as low a rate;of interest three per cent. as thoUnited States Government or any oftlio host European Governments canfund their debts. Tlio fact is notori-ous that a poor creditor tho world ovormust alwnvs pay a higher rato of inter-est for borrowed monoy than a goodone, because tlio risk is always greater,and Virginia will findlt so. In her im-poverished condition, with a great debt,with the taint of repudiation on hername, with hor previous bad recordunder Bourbon rule, she must not ex-pect to borrow monoy as cheaply asIllinois, which has no public dobt, andwhoso bond is as good as tho Bank ofEngland's notes.

But tho hypocrisy of tho Democraticparty of Virginia, as a debt-payin- g par-ty, is mado still moro transparont andconspicuous by tho nomination it hasmado for Governor of tho Stato. Mr.Daniel, tho nominee, has a record ontho financial question that is, If possi-ble, worse than that of tho rotten oldparty which ho now essays to lead, forwliilo tho party has simply set backiu its breeching, like a balky mule,and did nothing, Mr. Daniel ,hasboxed tho political compass, boonover) thing by turns and nothinglong. Ho has beeu a liut lunatic, infavor of paying the National dobt withirredeemable greenbacks; lie has beena Readjustee with nil that tho term im-plies, and now ho turns up as tho

par oxcollenco of repudiators,and heads tho Democratic ticket forGovernor. Tlio way Daniels has"wobbled" on tho political Eudsroonheretofore gives no assurance of hisstability in the future in cose of hiselection.

Tliero is neither honesty nor sincerityin tho platform, of tho Virginia Bour-bons on tho debt question, nor consist-ency in the former career of its chiefcandidate. Mr. Daniel, theysny, is thostrongest debt-pay- in the State.-and- ,

if oloctod, ho will bo expected to paytho debt out of his own pockot. If hisfiat lunacy comes back, homayproposoto pay tho Virginia bonds as ho pro-posed to pay tho National dobt, byprinting irredeemable promlsos to payat a time not nominated in tho bond.Chicago Journal. . . a
