(.THE ASSASSINATION.
FnlXParliculars of the Attempt on the Ufr
ay. or President Garfield.
The Pr< sident bad lighted from hie
carriage and was passing thiough the
ladies’ room to the care. When a few
feet inside of the room, the nsensein,
wlio was within three feel of him Bred
one shot. The President was dazed
and made no attempt at self protection.
Blaine bad turned towards the door.
The assassin fired the second shot in
ten seconds. The President fell and
Mrs. White, who at tends the ladies’
waiting-room.rrished to Ittm^and raised
up his head. Blaiue also rushed to
the assistance of the President. Tho
assassin passed out towards B street,
but Captain Parke, the ticket agent,
jumped through the window and
enugbt the assassin, who made no res
si8tauce. Officer Carney, the depot
policeman, rushed up and took hold
of the assassin, and immediately after
wards Officer Scott also took hold of
him. Parke let the officers have him
and turned his attention to the Presi
dent. . Help came and the President
was taken up stairs. He said not a
word until he was laid down, when he
asked that his shoes be taken cfT,say
ing he felt a pain in his foot. As soon
as his shoes w ere removed he said to
Secretary Windom : “Go right now
and send a telegram to Mrs. Garfield,
saying I feel considerably better, and
if she feels well enough tell her to
come to Washington immediately.’
This dispatch was sent, nnd a special
train was at once sent to Long Branch
for Mrs. Garfield.
SECRETARY BLAINE
was not going with the party.but went
down to bid the President good-bye.
He said: ‘The President and I were
walking arm in arm towards the train.
I heard two shots,and saw a man run.
I started after him, but seeing that he
w ag grabbed juut as he got out of the
room I came to the President and
found him lying on the floor. The
floor was covered with the President’s
blood. A number of people who were
around shortly afterwards have some
ol that blood on their persons. I
think I knew the man. I thiuk his
name is Gitteau. The assassin is about
five feet seven inches in height, of
strong, though not stout build. The
weapon ho used was a revolver about
seven inches long. It had an ivory
handle. The calibre was very large.
It is what is known as a California
pistol. It made a very loud report.”
Parke says that both shots were
firek while the assassin was behind the
President. When Officers Scott and
Carney got hold of the assassin, and
were taking him to the police head
quarters, be said, voluntarily, to them :
“I did it, and will go to jail for it. I
am a stalwart, nnd Arthur will be
President.” He had a letter in his
hand, and w’anted the officers to take
it to Geo. Sherman, saying it would
be ail right. The prisoner made no
resistance, saying he had contemplat
ed the killing of the President, and it
was tor the good of the country.
THE PLAN OP ESCAPE.
About nine o’clock the assassin
went to hack stands, adjoining the
depot, and engaged a hack from Bars
ton, a colored hackman. He said that
be wanted to go to go to Glenwood
cemetery iu a short time, and wanted
the hackinan to drive very fast when
he should get in the back. He agreed
to pay two dollars for the hack on
condition that the hackman would
drive fast- When stopped the assas
sin wa* going to the hack he had
engaged, and he insisted that* it was
important for him to go and deliver
a message to Gen. Sherman. When
the officers refused to let him go he
begged them to take the letter he had
to Gen. Sherman.
THE FIRST ASSISTANCE.
Dr. Townshend, the health officer,
was the first to reach the preside.it.
The president was shot from the right
as lie entered the ladies’ reception
room of the depot with Secretary
Blaine. The ball entered above the
right hip, but whether it has taken
its course toward the spine has not
yet been ascertained. The
WOUND WAS PROBED
by Dr. Bliss, who reports that in in*
sel ling the probe, the course ot the
ball did not extend toward the spine.
Still it-ia not certain that it did not.
It was the unanimous opinion ot the
physicians that what was needed for
tiie president was not the probing
for the wound, but rest. The extent
of the danger of the wound is not yet
known, and more can be told when
the urine passes ns his kidneys are
injured.
DR. TOWNSHEND'S STATEMENT.
Dr. Townshend Health Officer of
the District, said * I found the presi
dent, when I arrived at the Baltimore
& Potmuac depot, about five minutes
after the shooting occurred, in a vom
iting and fainting condition. I had
his head lowered, which bad been el
evated by the attendant, and admin
istered aromalio spirits of ammonia
and brandy to revive him. litis had
the desired effect, and the president,
regaining uonaniouaneea, was asked
where he tell the most pain. He re
plied in his right leg aud took I then
examined the wound, introducing my
tiugera, which caused a alight ocm-
morrhage. I then decided to have
him moved up stairs from the crowd.
After gelling him there, Dra. Smith
and Purvis arrived, and, upon con
sults'ion with them, it was decided
to move him to the White House.
Dr. Smith and myself accompanied
the president in theambulaaoc to the
Wmte House, where another exami.
tuition wan made and stimulants ad
ministered. An ineffectual attempt waa
made to trace the oocrse ot the wound,
at 11:20, the president suffering
much pain, a hyperdermio injectii n
of morphine was administered.”
THE CROWD AT THE DEPOT.
from the depot this morning, no
was permitted to enter the 'buildin,
except those whose presence waa
eolutely required. ' By some
countable means, newB was con
to the multitude in the streets to
eflect that although the president
not dead, he was'mortally wound'
Then a gloom seomed to settle do'
upon the city like a great pall, and
vast concourse of people waited
tiently outside of the depot for
from wiilnh. They reminded
strongly of friends and relatives of
dying man wailing in the anl
to .the, chamber ,.Tto»
pense was dreadful. Business
and ladies, with face pale with excite
ment and eyes bloodshot with strain
ing, stood fixedly at the door of the
depot and painfully to learn or divine
something about the wounded man
within. At last the door opened and
some of the doctors came out. Ti e
throng pressed closely around them
and begged for information. The
medical men said, “He is not dead,
lie is not in any immediate danger,
and, in fact, there are hopes of his re
covery.” The purport of these words
was conveyed to all die people pres
ent, and was transmitted from lip to
l'p and from lip to wire all over the
country. The city drew a long breath
and the excitement, which had b>-e <
at white heat thus far, cooled off.
Then there was a stir on the outer
edge of the crowd, and the people
were moved off right and left and
every way. It was to make room
for the ambulance, which had been
summoned to transport the suffering
president to the White House. Ten
derly was he borne from the building
to the vehicle, aad quietly and gent
ly was lie laid on the mattress thvres
in. Then the vehicle drove off slow
ly to the While House, followed at a
re-peciable distance by a crowd.
When be reached it he waa borne in
side, and was followed by the burgeon
General, Dr. Bliss, who had attended
him from the first, aud other physi
cians. The friends of the wouudrd
chief stood sorrowfully about him,
and the doors closed between him,
his future, and the thousands who
stood in the highways and byways of
this city, awaiting the end.
HLAINE’a ESCAPE.
Benson, ex-chief of the secret ser
vice, who happened to he standing
near, heard the shot, rushed to the
assassin and just as he was about to
raise his pistol, with the three cham
bers loaded, to shoot secretary Blaine,
it is thought, throttled him ami
threw him to the ground. Tire pis
tol found in the assassin’s hand is a
murderous looking weopon. It was
a five-chambered, heavy navy revol
ver, of 44 calibre. It makes a bole
as large as a musket ball. The balls
remaining in it were designed for
self-defence, or, as some think, for
Secretary Blaine. Those who stood
near say that Guitteau made a move
ment wheu stricken down, as it to
shoot Blaine. The latter is very
calm and collected, but intensely pale.
SUMMONING THE DOCTORS.
The doctors were summoned by
telephone and telegraph, and Dr.
Bliss speedily appeared upon the
scene. There soon followed him a
score of the most, prominent physi
cians in the city. Dr. Bliss at first
said it was a sate wound. After he
had watched the president a few mo
ments he said, with great thought
fulness, ‘It is not necessarily a mortal
wound.’ Soon after that
COL. ROBERT INUKRSOLL
was admitted to the room. The
president stretched out his hand and
iu a voice not strong said, ‘I am glad
you have come.’ Col. Iugersoll said,
‘Are you in pain?’ The president
answered,‘I feel a prickly sensation
iu my feel.’ One of the physicians
said that a prickly sensation in the
feet was not a good symptom.
AN EYK-WITNE8S.
A geiil'eman who wns an eye-wit
ness of the attempted assassination,
gives the following statement of the
nccuirencer ‘I was coming down
Pennsylvania avenue, when I saw a
carriage coming up the aveuue, the
horses running so fast that I thought
they were ruuniug away. Just
as the carriage arrived in front
of me, a man put his bead out the
window, and said, “Faster, faster,
faster, damn it!’ After hearing his
remark I thought there was some
thing wrong, and rail after the car
riage. When it reached the depot, a
man jumped out and entered the
ladies’ room. The president, after
passing through the door, was just
turning the corner of a seat, when
the assassin, who was standing on the
lett of the door, fired. The ball
struck the president in the back and
he fell forward. I ran into the depot,
and just then the man fired again,
while the president was falling. The
moment the president fell,a policeman,
who had been standing at the depot
door, -keeping the way dear for the
president and bis party, grabbed the
assassin by the neck, and as he pulled
him out of the depot, another police
man came to hu assistance. Just
after firing the shot this assassin ex-
claimed: ‘I have killed Garfield.
Arthur is president. J am a'slalwart
of the stalwarts.’
While the president was lying on
the floor in the ladies’ room, he was
surrounded by Secretary Windom,
James Blaine, Mrs. Hunt, Mi» Win
dom and Mrs. James. In three or
five.minutes after the shooting. Dr.
Blias arrived. The president was then
pnt on a bed and carried up stairs,
where an examine'ion was made by
DjwBliaa. Geo. Shermao then came,
and called an ambulance to carry the
president to White House.
REMOVAL TO THE WHITE HOUSE.
A spectator ihua describes the re*

know what to make of it. It is too
horrible. The man who did the
shooting has been hanging around
the department of state for some time.
He has had no occasion, beyond his
own desires, to apply foman" appoint
ment, and we have never encouraged
him _ He is crazy, I believe.’
Guitteau has been around the White
House for several days aciiug in a
-irauge manner, ’and the attaches
though him crazy. He was noticed
iu the White House grounds at dark
last evening. This morning he en
gaged a carriage at a stable and said
he wanted a quick team. He wanted
to stop at the depol only a minute,
and then go over to Baltimore.
DESCRIPTION OF THE ASSASSIN.
Guitteau has a sandy complexion,
and is slight, weighing not more than
125 pounds. He wears a mustache
and light chin whiskers, and his sunk
en cheeks and eyes, far apart lrom
each other, give him a sullen, or, as
an official described it, a lazy appear*
ance. The officer in qunstiou gives it
as bin opiniou that Guitteau is a Chi
cago communist, and stated that he
has noticed it to be a peculiarity ot
nearly all murderers that their eyes
are set apart, and Guit'eau, he said,
proves no exception to the rule. When
the prisoner arrived at the jail, he was
attired in a suit of blue and wore a
drab hat pulled dowu over Ins eyes,
giving him the appearance of an ugly
customer. It may be worthy of note
to state that some two or tluee weeks
ago Guitteau went to the jail for the
purpose of visiting it, but was refused
admittance on the ground that it was
not visitors’ day. He, at the time,
mentioned bis name as Guitteau, aud
said that be came from Chicago.
When brought to the jail to .day he
was admitted by the officer who had
previously refused to allow him to
enter, and a mutual recognition took
place, Guitteau saying : * You are '.lie
man who wouldn’t let me go through
the jail some time ago ” The only
other remark he made before being
placed iu hi- cell was that General
Sherman would urrrive at the jail soon*
Tiie Iwojailor who are guarding his
cell, state that they have seeu him
around the jail several tiin s recently,
and that ou one occasion he appeared
to be under the influence ot liquor.
On one of his visits, subsequently to
the first one mentioued, these officers
say that Guitteau succeeded in reach
ing the rotunda of the building, where
he was noticed examining the scaffold
from which the Hirth murderers were
hanged. Pursuant to his orders from
the Attorney General, the officer iu
charge of the jail declined to give any
further information, nor would he state
in what cell the prisoner was confined.
This officer was an attendant at the
little old city jail at time of the assas
sination ot President Lincoln.
RUMORS OF A DEEP PLOT.
There is a theory, widen nas many
adherent*, that the attempted assassi
nation was not the work of a lunatic,
but the result of a plot much deeper
aud darkei than has beeu suspected.
It is cited in support ot this theory
that Guitteau arranged with a hack-
man to be in readiness to drive him
swiftly in the direction of the Con
gressional Cemetery, as lie made his
appearance on returning from the de
pot. In the meantime he had placed
a bundle of papers in the hands of a
boy, with the view, it is maintained,
to creating a belief in Ids insanity in
the event of his capture. Guitteau
said, on his way to jail, that Presi
dent’s assassination was premeditated,
and he went to Long Branch tor the
purpose of sboo'iug him there, and
was deterred by the enfeebled aud
saddened condition of Mrs. Garfield,
which appealed so strongly to his
sense ol numanity, that he came back
without carrying out his instructions.
Those by wt>om Guitteau has been
examiued since the shooting, say he
shows no symptoms of insanity, and
it is understood that the letter which
has been telegraphed addressed to the
White House, is the only document
in the collection which supports the
theory of insanity. It is reported that
Guitteau has an accomplice, whose
description is in the bauds ot the po
lice, and further developments are
anxiously looked for.
another Account.
A special to the New York Even
ing Pusq says that the first ball aimed
at the President entered immediately
above the kidneys on the left side.
The President stunned by the shock,
instantly tamed about, when the vil
lain shot a second time, the bullet
striking the front ui the shoulder and
passing, out beneath the shoulder
blade. Those who stood immediately
around the assassin and the President,
say that the ulau shouted in a tragic
tone: “I am a stalwart. It had to be
done, Arthur will now be President.”
Ir is doubtless true that Mr. Conk*
ling had nolhiug to do with instiga
ting the attempted assassination of the
president, but if he had, it would
have hardly been worse in a tnora
point of view than the cold blooded
indifferenoe which be has manifested
since it ocean ed. He didn't incite

: the house .of-
representatives.
I was absent from Washington
when this ‘canard’ was given to the
public. When I returned on the
24ih ull., I found myself the subject
of much comment in the newspapers;
but as I am in no degree responsible
for it, I have not felt, in any sense,
called on to notice it. My record in
my short public life, liae been of that
character that I feel I can safely af
ford to stand in its clear light, with
the confidence that the people will
soon see the truth and detect misrep
resentation. I am not sensitive about
sensational reports,and I have become
accustomed to severe adverse criti.
cism. I therefore had intended to
pay no attention to the gentlemen
who have been fatiguing themselves
in this healed term to discover my
purposes six months hence, except "to
read with interest the vacuus pleass
antries and pungencies, with which
they would favor the public at my
expense.
Your paper, however, in advance
of a word from me, did me the justice
to discredit this report, and I cannot
disregard your suggestion that you
would l>e pleased to make public its
denial by me.
In the language ot a letter I wrote
several days ago to uiy gifted friend,
Mr. James R. Randall, of the Au
gusta Chronicle, I say to you: “I
have never declared to the president
an intention to vote with the repub
licans in the organization of the
bouse. I have never had such an iu\
tention. I do not have it now.’’
About a.w§vk ago I wrote as much
to you in a personal letter. I have
written as much to Col. J. R. Snead,
in response to a polite note from him ;
to Col. Lawslie aud many others—
always either to my intimate friends,
or to gentlemen who would do me
the justice to inquire of me, before
crediting the fabrication in the Sa
vannah News.
The report telegraphed to tho Sa
vannah News stated that there was a
bargain between the President and
me to the effect that Mr. Andrew
CUrke, collector of internal revenue,
should he removed, in consideration
of my vote. This is an absolute false
hood, and is as unjust to the Presi
dent as to mu.
1 do uol know the author ot this
report. One dispatch to the Savan
nah News said that Col. Atkins, of
Savannah, had knowledge of my
purpose, and said that I was looking
for him to find why lie had ’let it out.’
I have before me his letter of the
29th ult., in which be says:
“If you desire me to deny the truth of the
statement made in the News, I can do so, and
am at yonr service. If yon wish me to make a
categorical denial of the statement, aay so,
either by telegram or teUer.”
It has been stated io the same
newspaper that 1 have been inter
viewed in Washington by severri re.
porters, and that I have said I would
not deny the report. This is entirely
inexact. One day a gentleman whom
I do not know attempted (to question
me. I simply said I bad authorized
ro such statement, and declined to
confer with him further—a not im
proper course with an entire stranger.
This is the extent to which I ‘'have
been interviewed.
I need not remind the public that
no responsibility rests on me, tor the
opinions of Mr. Thornton, as ex
pressed in the Star of this city, and
wid. ly quoted. Col. Thornton stated
that he did not see me and did »ot
speak by authority.
I am no partisan in politics, and I
shall vote as I think best on every
question ot legislation. I shall dis
charge every public duty according
to my best judgment of iu proper
method. Whenever the people who
have honored me and trotted me, dif
fer with me in my opinious of public
policy and public duty, I will return
to them the commission I bear, free
and unstained as when they conferred
it on me.
I shall attempt no reply to the
severe and bitter criticisms of un
reasoning partisans, and I am content
that the people shall judge me by the
Record—that cannot mislead them.
Allow me to thank you for your
generous and voluntary defence, and
to assure you that I am,' with high

' wnt the President Live nr Die V
The following is taken from a
special dispatch .sent the Savannah
News by ill special correspondent in
Washington: *
In the Present’s room are two
nnrtn, Univtifielil and the doctors.
No others have been permitted to
eutor.. The strictest quiet is enjoined
and very few people are allowed to
enter the house, though the Preuident
ia far removed from the sound of
their feet and voices.
FNuUlTAnltmy-wlTD arriv
ed here to-day, has twice tried to see
the president, but has not been per
mitted that privilege. In fact, Dr.
Bliss, attem'iog physician-in-chief,
said to me that he would admit any
one to the Executive presence rather
than Arthur. His entrance to the
sick room would produce emotions
that would result most probably
fatally.
_ The ball is lodged in the liver. In
ninety-nine cases out of a hundred
death has been the result of such
wounds. The president has unusually
powerlul physique and great vitali'y.
To these two are the favorable symp
toms since last night to be accredited.
But the ball iema ns in the liver,
i'tiere is no hopes of getting it out.
He will carry it around with him if
lie should recover.
Every precaution lias been taken
to prepare the patient for the inflam
mation which is certain to set in.
There is a chance, but no more than a
chance, that the condition of the
wounded president may be such when
that inflammation, of which there are
already symptoms, comes that he can
be pulled through. To-night there
has been a*very slight chance fur ihe
worse, but that don’t indicate any
thing, as the crisis has not yet come.
Already there is, despite the care
ful spongiDg and attendance upon the
wound, some slight inflammation, but
that does not show anything in par-
tiular, either. It is the" crucible
through which he lias to pass. What
is leared most from that inflammation
is peritonitis, which would be fatal.
The great crisis, upon which bangs
the thread of life, may not come for
forty-eight hours. Yet it may come
within twenty-four hours or eight
hours
While there is a possibility that the
Pres'dent may get through with it,
and everybody prays that he will,still,
if he lives, his will be one of the most
miraculous ca6es on record.
Guiteau, the assassin, remains in
jail. There are various theories ad
vanced as to the cause which led him
to the deed. There are some who
want to say that he was a tool of con
spirators. Two government officers,
Colonel Cook, special attorney in the
star route cases, and A. M. Gibson,are
trying to establish the theory that the
star route put the assassin ,up to his
deed.
This is ail nonseuse. There is but
one true theory iu the whule case.
Guitteau shot the President as any
disappointed lunatic might have done.
He is crazy as a Iood. He is from a
family in which there has been insan
ity. It was a clear case of craziness.
There was no conspiracy. There are
ali the Letters and papers of hie, which
the District Attorney has. They con
tain nothing but the balderdash and
imaginations of one whuse mind ie se
riously affected.
the assassin interviewed.
Stringent orders have been given
agaiast allowing aDy one to see the
prisoner, but the correspondent of the
News was enabled this afternoon to
secure a short talk with Guitteau.
When the reporter reached his cell the
prisoner arose from his cot, and,peer
ing through tho bars of the door,anx
iously inquired: ‘How is the Presi
deni ?’ Being told he was suffering
great pain, Guitteau replied : ‘Iain
very sony to hear it. I wish I had
put another ball in him, for that would
have ended his suffering.’
Reporter—‘What was your motive
for this act ?*
Guitteau—‘I had been contemplat
ing this lor six weeks, and what
1 did I was foiced to do by an inspira
tion from God. 1 did it for political
purposes and through patriotic mo
tives. I went to the depot to do the
deed two weeks ago, when the Pres
ident went to Long Branch, but ho
came arm-in-arm with Mrs. Garfield,
who looked so delicate that I had not
the heart to do it.’
Reporter—‘Was any one connected
with you in this affair ?’
Guitteau—‘No, sir; I conceived
it myself and executed it myself. I
consider it a political necessity to re
tire Garfield, and thus save the re
publican party. I bad no murder in
my heart, for I had nothing agaiust
the President personally. I helped to
elect him.’
Reporter—,‘IIad yon no fears of the
consequences of your act ? No fears
of a future punishment ?’
Guitteau—‘Not at all. What I
did wob tor the benefit of the repub
lican pa- ty and tire public. I Live
no fears but tlrnt I will be liberated.
I am a stalwart of the stalwarts. I
know Vice President Arthur and Gen.
Grant very well.’
Replying to a questiou as to bis
sanity, Guitteau said: ‘I bad two.
cousins who were incarcerated in an
insane asylum once.- My only oilier
relatives are a sister in Chicago and a
brother in Boston.
Reporter—‘Did you think your act
would make a martyr of you ?’
Guitteau—*1 had no such thought.
I kne* that it was necessary for some
one to retire Garfield, and I made up
my mind to doit and leave the re
sults to tbe.country and the party.
I am truly sorry th.it my not has
caused the President so much pain,
but l knew iff no easier way to rid
the republican: party of him than by
the bullet. My only motive was to
have a stalwart President.’
In reply to a question' as to how he
hud rested, Guitt'-nn said: ‘This is

dent may not recover and make my

THE TEHPERaKCE LUWKNTIO.V
This body met in Atlanta on the
4lb, with delegates from a large iiums
ber of counties in the state. Judge
J. W. Ii. Underwood, of Floyd was
elected chairman and W. G. Whidby,
secretary. We give only the most
important proceedings of the Conven
tion. A committee on business was
appointed who made their report in the
afternoon as follows:

Several amendments ana suostitutes
were offered to this and consid
erable discussion was had. but it was
finally adopted almost unanimously.
On the subject of the resolutions
Judge Underwood made a ringing
speech.
“He declared that the convention
had gone iurther than local option.
The onus is now placed on the whisky
men and the Georgia legislature,whose
mehibers aie sworn to do what is best
for the publio interest. [Appause.]
He was glad to see the good women
here. They have aroused.us all in
this good cause. [Appause.] I have
been lonesome in this good cause for
ten long years of struggle in it. If
all the tears the women have shed on
this subject were collected, they would
fluat the navy of the union, and if all
their sighs could be gathered, they
would drive that nkvv across the At
lantic. [Great applause;]
A committee to present the resol us
tions to the legislature were appointed
and the Convention adjourned.
WHO SAW*IT FIRST T
The question of who discovered the
present comet has become of consid
erable importance. Over 500^persons
have laid claim to tho honor aud the
Warner Prize of $200, and all ot them
are within comparatively the same
time. It is desirable that no injustice
be done in this matter, and to this end
all parties who saw the comet during
the week ending June 25th, or previ
ously, will please forward their claims
without delay to Prof. Swift, Director
of the Warner Observatory, It >eb es
ter, N. Y. It is certain the discovery
was made by a private individual, but
who that indiviJnal is remains to be
