The President’s Condition.
THK VERY LATEST.
(Special to the Constitution.)
We failed to get our Atlanta
mail yesterday, consequently our
advices in regard to the Presi
dent’s condition date as far back
as Sunday. At that time his con
dition was not as favorable as it
had been. Some obstruction in
the way of a free discharge of
pus from the wound occurred on
Saturday which caused the Presi
dent to be seized with aehtll and
that was followed bv a burning
fever that caused the pulse to run
tip to 130. The Atlanta Constitu
tion of Sunday says editorially-
“The current of good news
that has come from Washington
through three full weeks was in
terrupled yesterday by reports
of discouraging symptoms iu the
case of the distinguished invalid.
He had a chill, and then his pulse
and temperature became very
high. The state of the wound
itself seems to be uncertain, and
yet the surgeons bid us hope—
that the condition of the Presi
dent is still favorable to conva
lescence. Let us hope that the
four doctors know what they are
diking about. It should not be
forgotten, however, that they
have never declared their patient
out of danger. And he has not
been for a single hour since he
was slot, down by the cowardly
wretched egotist.

Guiteau’s Confession.
• 1
The facts from Washington
about Guiteau’s preparations for
l.is crime are remarkitble. lie
aid not act on a sudden impulse,
or without being fully ready for
tbe deed.
As far back as the 18th of May,
or six weeks before he fired the
shots of the 2d of July, he came
to hrs murderous determination;
and before tbe close of tlie month
of May he was searching through
Washington for the kind of pistol
he desired. The pistol he pro
cured eu the Bth of Jane, and at
once began to practice with it.
Four days afterward, on the 12th
ef June (Sunday), he equipped
himself with his pistol and lol
lowed the President to church,
but finding the circumstances un-
favorable, he did not nse it. Dur
ing that week he visited the
church, examined it with refer
ence to the President’s seat, and
was satisfied he could accom
plish hit purpose, which he deter
mined to carry oat there the next
Sunday; but learning the Presi
dsat would leave the city on Sat
urday, he made preparation to
shoot him at the depot, practicing
once more with his pistol in the
\grly hoars of that morning. He
!?**pt from his purpose at that
A, according to his own story,
by —Mrs. Garfield
in frail that he had not
, - r ’\ shoot her husband in
mr p. seiV®. Four days after
varl, wheh the President was
”t ridingjtiuiteau again armed
nimßelf With the pistol, and
watched for an opportunity,
which, however, he did not find.
Again, on the let of July, when
watching for the President, who
came out of the White House
alone, he followed him as far as
the residence of Mr. lllaine, and
when the President with Mr
Blaine returned to the White
House he again followed them ;
but on nei'her of these occasions
did he find his opportunity. It
was the next day that he perpe
trated the crime, having previ
ously examined the pistol and
tried the trigger.
The Legislature-
The legisfafure has done but
little else at its present sitting
than introduce local bills. There
are now more than eight hun
dred bills on the calendar of the
House, about five hundred yet
remaining in the hands of com
mittees. There is a long session
ahead.
Ou the 19th Mr. Withrow in
troduced a bill to abolish the of
fice of County School Commis
sioner in Fannin. Gilmer and

On the 20th Mr. Winn, of Cobb,
asked for a committee to inquire
into the condition of the Mariet*
ta and North Georgia Railroad.
Three appraisers have been
agreed upon by the Senate and
House to fix the sum Atlanta is
to pay for the new capitol on a
valuation of the old capitol build
ing.
On the 21st the following bills
were put on a third reading :

Clerks, Sheriffs and Ordinaries,

Jasper, July 25th, 1881.
LEGISLATIVE VISITORS.
A committee of four from the
General Assembly visited Jasper
last Saturday. The gentlemen
met with the heady welcome of
our citizens, and wo hope our
grand mountain scenery will
make them true lovers of North
Georgia. Their stay with us was
lioiK but our citizens did wliat
they could to make the gent 12-
men pleasant while with us. A
| dinner was set at tiie Court house
by the ladies of (he community
and alter listening to an address
of welcome from C®l. W. 11. Sun
mons, and speeches from Gen.
William Phillips, Judge James
Brown, Col. Clark and Dr. Bond,
all gathered around the table and
ate until they were filled and still
the table supplies were not ex
liausted. We regret that our
business was so arranged that we
could not attend the meeting.
But that is always our lusk; if
anything good comes about we
are out ol place and .miss the
fun.
VISIT TO SLI.IJAV.
Our visit to Ellijay last. Friday
was indeed a pleasant one, not
withstanding the iiot sun and
rough road. After enjoying the
kind hospitalities ol Mr. and Mrs.
Hipo on Saturday night last we
were delighted for a slioiT while
witli the musical performance of
Mr. Meats and Prof. Bates
When Mr. Mears gets hold of the
bow and draw-s it across his vio
lin, and Prof. Bates touches his
fingers to the ivory keys of the
organ, music must come, and if
any one doesn’t believe it just let
him call at the Central Hotel at
Ellijay and send for Prof. Bates
and then he will see that our
words are true this time and he
will feel good in his musical soul
for days to come.
We left Ellijay Sunday morn
ing and five miles South we found
a large audience assembled at
Ml. Vernon church, for worship,
and from all appearances we ven
ture the assertion there are some
some noble citizens about that
plsce. All seemed to be in high
spirits and to love their neigh
bors as becometli Christians. We
were favorably struck with our
hearty welcome at that place.
From thence we moved on to
ward Jasper and after proceeding
a few miles lo ! and behold ! what
met our eager gaze I Horses
hitched and the people seemed
to be in a considerable stir about
the residence of Mr. McArthur.
We determined to know the ob
ject of the meeting, dismounted,
tied our lusie mule to a limb and
joined in with the crowd that was
entering the dwelling. In a few
moments we discovered the fun,
for ltev. James West said, well
Mr. McArthur, whenever the par
ties are ready tiring them forlh,
and sure enough they came and
WAR MARRIED,
on the 2411i inst., at the residence
of the groom’s lather, Mr Thom

We wish them a happy and long
life. Mav their paths be paths ol
peace, strewn Willi flowers and
garlands of bliss.
DANGSROL’SLT SICK.
Intelligence has been received
that Mr. James Wlielchel, who
went from this county to Arkan
sas a lew weeks ago is lying now
at the point of death. A letter
received this afternoon stales
that he is better, but no hopes o(
bis recovery. Mr. Welcliel was
not well when he left here and
has been getting worse ever since
with spinal affection.
nsarer Tutor.
Mr. Ed. Lenningsucceeded this
morning in moving bis engine
and saw mill a few miles neirer
town and now look out for the
engine when yon hear the whis
tle blow. Mr. Lenning is a man
of considerable energy and
means and is of great worth to
our country. If the widow wants
bread Ed. Lenning is the first
man to give assistance; if there
be a young man struggling to ed
ucate himself to make his mark
in society, Ed. Lenning opens his
heart and purse to him ; if a
neighbor gets sick and can not
work his crop, Ed. Lenning gears
his mules and works it for him.
This is the work of a good man—
of a patriot.
