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* rnoval of the president to the White House: ‘The president lay in an am bulance, propped up with pillows, bore a calm, placid look. He perfectly oonscious, and his eyes frequently to view 'oundinge. While he waa be* carried up stain be smiled sadly waved bis hand in recognition of >ds. His suffering must have intense, bnt he gave no sign ot d waa gentle and submissive.’ Of the False Charges Hade Against Him- FUl, Explicit, Complete, Emphatic anil Satisfactory. Washington, July 3,1831. My dear Mr. Waterman—Your kind letter came to band thin morn ing, and I at once accept your sug gestion that I should give a distinct and emphaiio denial of the report to the effect that 1 have declared the :he physicians bad* been called ," ,n fentiou to vote with the repnblicaDS nsttUiiiou.’and said: 'I don’t in the organization-of the-bouse rof- INTERVIEW WITH BLAINE, mretary Blaine was met by a rep atative of the press, just as he ‘ out leaving the White House, - . 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.

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.

What a trio to tamper with American liber ies ! . .v . WAITERS AT WASHKGTOS. ' 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.

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: Your commit ee respectfully recommend that this convention a»k the gcnerul assembly to pass an act forbidding and prohibiting the manufacture, sule or furuuhin# of any jud all intoxicating or malt liquor*, except ior medi* cine), manufacturing or aacraxucutal pur^Kiitee, under proper restrictions.

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.

[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 seen. ’I " ;n,li * *“ ■' , —i—-■"•—— The firnce question is assuming the lint importance among the farmers of the state.Elections were held in sev eral counties on Monday to deter mine the question of whether the fen ces shall continue to be kept up to prevent the poor stock from destroys ing the crops or the stock kept up to preveut tiie expense of tho fence aud also improve the stock. Henry,Rock- dale and Coweta oountiee gave good majorities in favor of‘no fence,’ but DeKalb concluded to try the old plan a while longer and voted in favor of ‘fence’ by 200 or 300 majority.
