Washington, September 6.???President Garfield was removed from the executive mansion at an early hour this morning to the special train at the depot, which was to convey him to I sing Rronch. Ills removal was successfully ac complished without any mishap or noteworthy event. The entire route was kept clear of vehicles by policemen stationed at every intersecting street. A number of |>ersons remained up all night outside of the gates in front of the executive mansion, and by the time the conveyance containing the president passed through the gates alamt one hundred ami fifty persons hud assembled to witness the departure and obtain a glimpse of the patient. When tho presidential j arty reached the depot, perhaps 2,000 persons had gathered there. The crowd was very quiet and orderly and the transfer of the president from the conveyance in which he rode to the combination ear was watched ill silence and with apparent solicitude lest Nome ac cident might occur. The president appeared great ly emaciated ami his face, though tlilu and care worn, seemed natural. At the depot and after the president had liecn placed uikjii Ills couch in the our General Swnim said the patient had not been disturbed or disquieted in the least by the journey, but on the contrary seemed to enjoy the ride, HOW THE UCHOVAI. WAS MANAGE!!. At precisely 3:40 a.m., the president was carried from the sick room to the express wagon, which hud becu hacked up to the steps of the front portico by I??rs. Bliss, Kcytmrn, and Itoyntoii, General Swnim, Colonel Rockwell and Corbin, and Messrs, c. o. Rockwell uml Warren Young, who remained with the patient during hi; removal to the depot. lie was reclining In n peace fill jposition on the la-d upon which for so many days lie has been snfTering and lighting for life. His right lmnd was laid U|kiu his breast while his left arm was stretched at full length upon the coverlet; his high forehead was covered liy a linen doth and his features, though emaciated, wore a patient and resigned expression. A small platform hud bccu erected (nun the portico to the wagon, and across this the bed was tenderly and carefully carried and deposited in the wagon. There was no mishaps whatever In the transit, ami when the horses wore hitched to the vehicle uml started at 5:30 for the dcfsil a feeling of relief took pos session of the by-standers, for in the opinion many of the most perilous portions of the journey laid been accomplished. The conveyance was pre ceded to the depot by carriages conveying the re nmimler of the party, which was to accompany the president to bong Branch. As the express wagon moved away from the executive mansion the presi dent feebly but cheerily lifted his left hand and waved farewell to the inmates of the house, who had assembled on the poreh to wish him godspeed on his journey. The wagon was then driven slowly through the ground* of the mansion and down Pennsylvania avenue totholtultimore ami Potomac depot, the liorscs at no time beingdriven faster than a walk. At the head of each horse walked a man ready to assume control of the animals in ease of need. 1 he ride to the depot was accomplished without any incident worthy of note. The crowd which followed was orderly and anxious not only for the safe transportation of the patient, but also to eateli a glimpse of his face. This it was not difficult to do, as the curtains of the wagon were rolled up to enable the president to breathe the pure morning nir, which at that hour had not become sultry. The llenot being rea'-hod. the horses were- detached from tile V.???agrill. wliii-li iVus backed up to ilie Mr selected for the removal of tho president, and the same gen tlemen who laid performed the duty of transferring the patient from tlie white house to the wagon exe cuted their difficult task of removing him from the wagon to the railroad ear. Though they met with some slight difficulty in doing this, owing to the "V ijpa that the floor of the ear was rather high.t he delicate task was i-erfonncd suc cessfully and without appearing to disturb the pa tient. When inside the ear he was transferred from .the la-d on which he had iieen carried thus far, and placed 111 am a spring hed which had already been prepared.

Mr. Kin ney says he seemed to lx- in very good spirits, find was riot under the effects of any opiates. He was os rationul as could lx-, and occasionally chatted with the doctors. Mr. Kinney added lie was surprised to sec the number of people who turned out, particu larly in country places, to witness the passage of the train. Even at prominent stations, where there ere crowds, the people raised their hats with rever- nce, mid all seemed affected by the gravity of the situation. Another dispatch from bong Branch, dated 1:33 m., says the president???s pulse is 110, and the weather is hot, with a good breeze blowing. THE EVENING BULLETIN. Long Branch, X. J??? September 6.???The evening offienil bulletin is ns follows: 6:30 p. m.???Since the last bulletin was issued the president has been re moved from Washington to bong Branch. He was more restless than usual Just night, lx-ing evidently somewhat excited by antiei|iations of the jour ney. This morning at 3:30 o???clock his pulse was 118, temperature 99.8, respiration IS. We left Washington with the president ut G:30 am., and owing to the admirable arrange ments made by the Pennsylvania railroad oomismy und to the ingeniously arranged bed designed by- Mr. T. X.

At present his pulse is 124s temix-rature 101.6, respiration 18. WHAT DU. HAMILTON SAYS. Dr. Hamilton, one of the insulting surgeons, ar rived at Long Branch to-day. The doctor expressed the opinion tlint the president's removal from the malarious atmosphere of 55???asliington would soon prove beneficial. He did not attribute so much importance to the sea air ns to the general change of scenery, etc. He thought the fact that the president???s desire to leave Washington had been granted would have a good moral effect upon him, and that he would commence to mend almost iiumedietely upon hi* arrival. the Arrival Long Branch, .September 6.???Tlie special train arrived nt Elberon station at 1:10 p. m. and reached the cottage ten minutes later. There were about two thousand persons in the vicinity of tlie presi dent's quarters; regular troops were ou guard and no difficulty was exjierienced in preserving perfect order. Xo sound was heard to mar the quiet of the neighborhood. Mrs. Garfield, mom the arrival passed from the president???s car to the preceding coach: she looked calm and not at all worried. Dr. Bliss said in response to interogutories that the pa tient stood the journey extremely well and that his pulse has not been higher than 110. Colonel Corbin who accompanied the attendants upon the president to Long Branch, has jnst said in response to a ques tion that the president stood the journey remark ably well, that upon nearing Long Branch one of the party suggested that it would soon be time to Dike a bath, in reply to which the president said: We need progress just now more than a bath.??? At every town and station along the route a mass of human beings were congregated to witness the passage of the train, most instances the multitude were standing with uncovered heads and exhibiting feelings of sympa thy. To-night everything is j-erfectly quiet in the vicinity of the president???s quarters, and every one expresses a feeling of gratification that the patient stood the trip so well. Although the season lias drawn near to a close, there is still quite a large number of visitors here. Shortly before noon there were 2,300 persons gather ed about the Francklyn cottage, anxious to witness the arrival of President Garfield. The guards on duty- kept the throng back, and although a rush was made when the train arrived no difficulty was expert enced in preventing the near approach of the crowd to the train. JThere was no excitement and the best of order prevailed. Just before reaching the cot tage at 1:15 p.m??? the train came to a standstill and the first car, which had been occupied by the phv- was lying, was quietly started and pushed slowly over the same course until it reached the entrance of the eottage, at which poiut it was stopped, and a large awning was thrown around the portico, so that the sun could not fall upon the patient, and he could not lx* observed by the anxious watchers. The removal from the car into the room provided for the reception of the president was accomplished without exciting him in any manner, and while he was a(i- parently a little fatigued, he did not complain, and seemed to be perfectly calm and well satisfied. The Day at Lnc Branch. Special dispatch to The Constitution. Long Branch, September S.???The day at Long Branch opened warm and sultry and although It was a trifle cooler than yesterday- the heat was very oppressive and the asmnspherc smoky and un pleasant. Predictions were made in nearly all quarters that the day would be a repetition of yesterday and much anxiety wus felt witli regard to the effect the continued heat would have on President Garfield. While the morn ing bulletin was not reassuring, it was considered to lx- fair, but there was a noticeable feeling of anx iety for later reports from tlie sick room. Dr. Bliss was seen after the morning examination, and said in substance: ???I found the patient in a good con dition. He is geting along splendidly. He is better at the present hour than for many days I account for this remarkable rapid change for the better in the fact that tlie wind has shifted to the north and the pure atmosphere is commencing tc have its effect. 1 really think the patient is conva lescent, and the symptoms bear me out ir that t lu-Ary. Tlu-re is every indication that the change will be permanent. Tlie gland and the wound are both doing well and discharging properly. Mrs. Garfield is very happy and feels much encouraged. The patient has had whisky since last night and enema has also been stopped, and it will not be renewed unless it becomes again necessary To-day he has eaten a woodcock, beef extract with porridge, and some toast, which he took with great relish. He could eat more than would be good for him. To-day is the first time he has relished his food for some time. His spirits are correspondingly improved. ??? Attorney-General MacVeagh said he felt much gratified with the president???s con dition, and thought that he would continue to improve henceforward. About one o???clock the wind shifted again, and ever since that hour a stiff sea breeze has been blow ing, and the thermometer has fallen from 89 to 77 The evening was decidedly the most pleasant dur ing the week. Just after the evening bulletin was issued Dr. Bliss, iu answer to interrogatories, said that the favorable symptoms which were no ticeable at noon continued. Dr. Reybum said that the president is doing nice ly, but would not like to say that he is convalescent. are not indicative of anything serions, and do not j disturb the feeling of the surgeons that the patient j is doing nicely. Dunng tlie night the fibrile rise caused the pulse to run up to a comparatively high figure, but it soon decreased. As matter of fact, the president did not commence the day under as favor able circumstances ns yesterday but after the morn ing dressing he began to grow stronger and at 1 o???cli ock his condition compared favorably with that of yesterday, and there were no alarming or serious indications. Up to this time the figures are not ob tainable. 0 p.m.???At the examination of the president at 12 m. to-day, his temperature was 98.5, pulse 100, respi ration 18: At 5:30 this evening his temperature was 98.7, pulse 1U0, respiration 18. The president has taken a greater amount of liquid, with some solid food and with more relish, than for several days. His general condition is quite as favorable us ves- terdav. D. \V. Buss, D.

The general direction of the new line and I its relation to tlie Southern can be best under stood by the following map, which is compar atively correct: The Patient???s Room. The Francklyn cottage, which is the president???s home while here, has been carefully preimred and all arrangements are complete. The south cham ber on the second floor, which the patient now oc cupies, is about twenty-five feet wide and fifteen eet deep, with anim-hcd ceiling about twelve feet high in its highest part. It contains a very wide, low bedstead, elegantly covered. The head of the bed is toward the north, and the president can have either the direct sea breeze from the left or the south wind from immediately in front of him, both passing over balconies where they may bo tempered by bamboo screens, which also shut out the sun when necessary and admit nothing but the breeze. The room is elegantly furnished with quaint and pretty comer effects, but, as elsewhere through the house, there is an absence of everything gaudy or luxuriant. The whole house, outside and in, gives an idea of unlimited comfort without regard to fashionable display. The parlors have comer divans padded with figured silk cushions. The chairs are all made for comfort, and the screens, which are the handsomest articles in the house, arc ornamented simply with shells and miniature fishes. As ro often happens with this style of cottage* - there Is no entry Immediately in front. Thu central projecting portion is inclosed and has windows above, with a vine-laden balcony above tlmt, then more windows, and above that the gabled roof. The entry is a little at one side, under the porte-cochere, and the doors are in two parts, so that the upper one may be readily opened and conversation easily ex changed while the lower part remains closed. By thls arrangement communication without any one outside coming in or any one inside going out is made an easy matter. Immediately within the vestibule is tlie hall, a high, wide apartment, with a fire-place low tables, littered with curious things, and a few oddly-caparisoned chairs and an overhanging baleo- nv. Of equal width with this hull and extending entirely back is the dining room, the floor elevation of which is about two feet higher than the hall, and is approached by two easy landings like a dnis. These landings have pedestals and small articles of furni ture in the comers, and an immense portiere of some heavy Persian stuff extends entirely across it, linn; on rings. so that the two apartments may be isolate! at pleasure or preserved iu an unbroken view. One comer contains a high old-fashioned clock. The hull and dinning room take up the whole depth of the cottage, which is probably fifty feet. Above the division where the jiortierc hangs there is a rack, such as is often seen on the top of old English man telpieces, which is filled with plates and pots and jugs and such odd fancies. The fireplace in the dining room is very large and wide, with a very ornamental chimney piece, also littered with curiosities, and the ceiling is lofty. It is heavily jinneled throughout with wood and cork. In places, as over the ehimnoy-pieec, the dark wood js in relieved panels, cut in whorl-shaped designs. The cork covering iu some sections of the walls is cut in small pieces of a great variety of shapes, cleverly set in place like mosaic work. There is a curious dresser of hard wood built higli in one comer, with projecting shelves and odd nooks and comers, some open mid some with doors, The iloor is littered with rugs, little ones of crimson and black and large ones of buff and ehoeolate, and tlie furniture is of that simple but artistic form sensibly comfunniug sha]>e, design and material to tlie purpose intended. The rear middle section opens upon a small ve randah reuched by two steps, mid from there noth ing can lx- seen save the sea. It overlooks the very edge of the bluff, which is so high as to hide the lx-ach and bathing houses below, and the land view at either side is cut off by projecting parts of the building, so that the endless ocean is the only object the eve encounters, and its breezes, whether from the east or south, are always available. There are about twenty apartments in all, inelud ing mi ample number of cozy sleeping rooms to ac commodate whatever number of persons there may be needed immediately near the sufferer. Fires were lighted yesterday and all the flues and drafts tried mid found to work well. General Grant, Gyorge 5V. Childs and Commodore Garrison have each tendered horses and carriages and attendants, to be at the constant command of the president???s jiarty and the physicians, and the offer has been accepted. They will be very much needed, as this part of the Branch is a couple His it was lx>- It is now 100.6. Arrangements are so complete in every de tail that the iueonvcnlenee to the president is re duced almost to a minimum. The bed upon which ???e is now lying is so i-are-fully adjusted that the vi bration is hardly noticeable. The train ran from Washington to Baltimore- at the average rate of speed . itch causes loss annoyance than If it was reduced one-half. At seven o???clock the president took three ounces of beef tea with relish. \ THE ENGINE AND ITS OCCUPANT. Engine No. .7, in ehatge of Train Master Bell and Assistant Bond Foreman Wall, Is running as pilot engine ahead of the train bearing the president, jmssed through the union depot at 7:48. At the dejHit perfect quiet prevailed, the building and track in the vicinity having been cleared of all engines and cars. Fussing trains had lx-cn held back, mid the tunnel from one end to the other was entirely clear and free from smoke The train bearing the president passed at a slow nue of speed on the track outside the dejiot, making no atop. Few persons were- about. Superintendent Wilkins received the dis|atehes thrown from the train aud handed them to representatives of the press, and kindly gave them the use of the railroad wires to forward their messages to the city offices. ENJOYING THE JOURNEY. PiitLAtiELPHlA, September 6.???The. presidential train paused Havre de Grace, Mil., thirty-six miles this side of Baltimore-, at 8:39.

Tlie unending physicians says the morning bulletin tells the whole story. It is the idea of Dr. Bliss ??? make tlie bulletins more detailed and comprehi sive. Notwithstanding the slight rise in pulse and temperature, noted in the morning bulletin, the president is considered quite as well as yesterday. The president is certainly gaining ground without the apix-arauee of unfavorable symptoms. The stormy weather has tlie effect of keeping nearly every one indoors, and many have left for different points.

New York???The cotton market has been very??? active during the past few days, and many important transactions have taken place. The pitch of ex citement seems to have increased as the week ad vanced, and each day was fraught with important in cidents. Early in the week the market developed a strong tone which continued up to Monday???s close. In the meantime the market advanced and a com plete victory was won by- the bull speculators. On Tuesday, however, the market relaxed considerably, and throughout the day was subject to numerous vicissitudes and changes both in tone and tendency, though approaching the close tlie months displayed a strong feeling, which was maintained throughout the following day and furthering the advance to such an extent that the highest prices of tlie week were obtained.

The local cotton cotton market retains its firm attitude, though no change in quotations has taken place to-day. Its course during the coming week will depend entirely upon the action of the New York and Liverpool markets. There is a good de mand for all classes of cotton and business is good. Speculations in behalf of the probable yield for the coming crop vary considerably, but at all events we can count with certainty on seeing a decrease of 1,000,000 bales as compared with last year???s crop. Receipts to-day amount to 496 bales, of which 184 bales were received from wagons.
