The villain Guiteau once lived in this city, and distinguished himself by jumping his board bill. One man was killed in Iowa Tuesday for expressing a hope that the President would not recover. They know how to do things in that State. The latest news we received from Washington, last night before going to press, brought the cheering intelligence that President Garfield continues to improve. Vice President Arthur is a constant caller at the White House, and no one feels more keenly than he the terrible shock of the attempt on the President's life. While fifty millions of people are patiently waiting and praying for the complete recovery of the President, it is some satisfaction to know that if the assassin's work proves fatal, the reins of Government will pass into the hands of a man who is universally recognized as a high toned gentleman, a throughgoing liepublican, and an upright cit izen. Notwithstanding his difference with the President on New York politics, Vice President Arthur has the confidence of the coun try to marked degree. WASHINGTON LETTERS. Editorial Correspondence. Washington, D. C, 2, July, 1881. I left Indianapolis Wednesday morning at 4:20 o'clock, by way of the Pan Handle, for the political Mecca of our great country. I made a mistake in starting at this hour, I should nave taKen the evening train, and then would have enjoyed a daytime ride over the mountains, and might have been able to tell you something of the magnificent scenery that lines the route. Soon after leav ing Columbus, 1 took advantage of a berth in a Pulman, and knew little o nffairs until tne uarviana sun warned rae of my approach to the sa cred city. As we approached the mountains, j could not repress the memories o fourteen years, when a beardless

youth, 1 passed over these noble mountains in a cattle car, as a member of the old 28th. on my way to the front. As I reclined in my easy couch, with only tne comet's occasional peeping to disturb me in my repose, and an obliging "culled" porter to anticipate every want, and then thought of my former ride with "the boytj," as we lay promiscuously in the old cattle car, head to feet, broan to shin, and heel to eye, it may be supposed that the contrast was to say the least interesting. Save these cogitations and memories of the past, ray ride was without particular nole. Arriving in Washington on time, at t:30 o'clock Thursday morning, I was driven to the elegant residence of my friend, Register Bruce, whose excellent wife extended to me 'the hospitality of her mansion, as only such cultured, elegant ladies as she can do, the Register having gone to his office. After refreshments and other preliminaries, I concluded to 'take in" THE TOWN. Well, Washington is a magnificent city in every respect, and I am not surprised that when a fellow has

been here a little while, he wants to stay, and only leaves with regretful step. The streets are said to be the finest in the world, Paris, save the Boulevard, not excepted. A pilgrim, from the Future Great, remarked, on seeing these streets, that they are smoother and cleaner than the floors of the houses in St. Louis, which is doubtless true. I will not, of course I could not, draw it so hard on our own beloved city of "coneentries," but 0 one who, for years, has plodded through the inuc or held his breath (?) mid one of our dust-freighted-whirl-winds, the contrast is marked. The city was laid off with reference to deence, as well as artistic beauty. It has seemed to me tuat it was also laid off with a special view of loosing strangers. Whether the engineer had that thoughUin mind or not, no stranger will deny that the deed has been most successfully carried out. 1 am seri ously contemplating a suit for dam ages againht the Government for extra street car fare and bribes to Hmall boys to take me home and keep mum. But the streets 1 was remarking that they were laid oft with reference to defence. At intervals just how I don't know they all center about a square or a circle which is converted into a beautiful park. Artillery placed in the center of the square or circle could sweep a dozen streets more or less. Thus the city is full of beautiful parks with cooling shade and flowers and statuary. As soon as I have opportunity 1 shall visit the places of note and tell the readers of The Leader something about them. Soon after my arrival, I was met by als. . an olu menu whose hrst question was, "Now what did vou come to Washington for?'' "For the good of my country," I replied; "to sacrifice myself if need be upon her (official) altar." "Good," he satf . -'The days of our country will be numbered when men become unwilling to make such sacrifices." Speaking of officeseekers, I may remark that I never saw so many in all my "born days." Every other man is either seeking an office or ''legging" to keep the one he has. The readers of The Leader will of course be anxious to know something of the Register's office. The Register's Bureau is situated on the first floor south end of the Treasury build ing, and contains five divisions, namely, coupon and note, fractional currency, loan, receipts and expenditures, and tonnage. In these divisions there are about 150 employes, with' salaries ranging from $2,220 down, a number of whom are ladies. .Register isruce is perfectly at home in his position. He is treated with the utmost defer ence by his subordinates, and with marked consideration by the most distinguished officials, from members of the Cabinet down. The Register's elegantly furnished office proper is in the southwest corner of the building, and looks out upon a beautiful yard filled with choice flowers. There are few offices in the building that have more visitors than the Register's, a large "majority of whom are white. And from all sections of the country I many seeking his influence to obtain,

office, others to extend coneratulations, and many out of curiosity to see the colored man who has been elevated to such a distinguished position. The Register receives ail courteously and grumbles at no sacrifice of his comfortjWhen he can serve a friend, though he does not control the patronage of his office, the appointments being made by the Secretary of the Treasury. The universal verdict id that ex-Senator Bruce makes a most excellent executive officer, and no one can estimate the good he is doing for the race by con

vincing all with whom he comes in contact,thatthe Negro is paepared for any responsibility in governmental affairs. I called on Colonel Dudley, and found him the same genial gentle men we all honored in Indiana, and perfectly at home in hi new position. Colonel Dudley is a general favorite with everybody. I also had the pleasure of meeting Hon. D. A. Alexander, 5th A uditor, who will see that Uncle Sam sustains no detri ment so far as his office is concerned. Ihave met a host of old friends and, formed a great many new acquain tances, special mention of whom I must defer to a future letter. With all the attractions of Washington,frequent memories of the old town will come up, and 1 cannot suppress a longing for a walk around town and a chat with the dear friends at home. In another letter I shall tell the read ers of The Leader something of some of the places of note in Washington. Bert. Washington, D. C, July 6, 1881. Tho wires and the correspondents of the daily papers have given you the details in full of the dastardly attempt to take the life of our beloved chief magistrate on Saturday morning last. I need not rehearse them in detail. The attempted assassination of the President, broke upon us like a clap of thunder from a clear sky. I was in the Treasury building when the first news came,complcting my exam ination preparatory to entering the Government service. The scene is undescribable men left their desks and hurried to and lro in search of confirmation or denial of the rumor, and the great building was the scene of the wildest excitement and confusion. The streets were soon thronged with excited, horror struck citizens. The hurrying of soldiers,cavalry and infantry to the White House,rovived very vividly tho memories of the late war and especially the aswassination of President Lincoln. So utterly unexpected, so com pletely absent were any of the causes that might even a fanatic hope to gain renown by such a terrible deed. At peace with all nations, fraternal feelings among all sections, never so 1 good and constantly improving, the shock is absolutely appalling. There is no noek or corner of our broad land in which stricken hearts are not sadly and anxiously waiting,hopping and praying for the great hearted sufferer who lies probably dying at the White House. No time can ever efface from my mind the memory of the sad stricken face of poor Mrs. Garfield when she arrived by special train from Balti more,and the silent tearful crowd that looked on. Crowds of anious people have constantly thronged the streets and approaches to the White House grounds, waiting for the latest bulletins, and beseiging every person who came out for a gleam of hope. There has been a strong feeling in favor of lynching the assassin, Guiteau, and had tho Presidents death occurred Saturday or Sunday, it is doubtful if the excited populace could have been restrained from making a desperate effort to obtain possession of the assassin. Colonel Dudley has been in almost constant attendance upon the President. Register Bruce has been a frequent and anxious visitor at the White House, and is just now in receipt of advices that the President's condition is improving. I have just seen General Harrison and Secretary Windora, who came direct from the White Houso,and they say the President's condition is very favorable and all are very hopeful. Having only time to reach the evening mail I must close this desultory letter. Bert.

IN COLD BLOOD.

President Garfield Shot Down in a Depot at Washington By Charles Unltteau, a Disreputable Chicago Lawyer, Who Failed to lie Appointed to Office. The Latent Information Indicates Decided Improvement In the President's Condition. (Indianapolis Sentinel, July 6. The President was shot on Saturday morning at 9 o'clock in the depot at' Washington just as he was leaving the city to join his wife at Lon? Branch, by an assassin named Ouitteau. It is supposed that he was crazy, and had really no motive beyond the freak of a madman. Our Washington dispatches indicate quite a difference of opinion among physicians generally as to the President's injury, but there is no doubt that the President's physicians have grown very hopeful and sanguine since Saturday uight. The President and all his surroundings are kept quiet. No one is admitted n the sick chamber except physicians, the regular nurse and Mrs. Garfield, who keeps hravely and untlinchingly at her husband's bedside, and expresses unbounded confidence in his final recovery. It was decided Sunday to break the sad affair to the President's mother, which was accordingly done as gently as possible. Vice President Arthur has been summoned to Washington by Secretary Blaine, and is in communication with the Cabin .t, and expresses himself as being in readiness to be guided by their suggestions. The President'stcondition for two days was decidedly critical, and aroused unusual anxiety and apprehension, but our yesterday's despatches give good ground for hope that he will finally recover. THE NEWS -IN DETAIL. President Gartield Im Shut niul Fatally Wounded When About to Start for Long Branch. Washington. July 2. At 9:30 o'clock this morning, when the President was at the Baltimore and I'otomae Depot with his party, waiting to take the train, he was shot twice by a man standing within two feet of him. The President's friends rushed to him as he fell, and Blaine called for Colonel Rockwell. s x Washington, July 2. President Garfield is now lying in a private room 1 the officers' quarters of the Baltimore and Potomac Depot.- Dr. Bliss, Surgeon General Barnes and Dr. Puvis (colored) are in attendance. " Ttd shooting was done by a slender mau about flo feet Beven inches In height. He refused to give his name, but it is Kala by persons who profess to know him that his name is Doty. The prisoner was arrested immediately after the firing by officers in the depot. He was ti'rst taken to the police headquarters and subsequently removed to the District Jail. The shouting occurred in the ladies' room of the depot, immediately after the President had entered walking arm in arm with Secretary Blaine, on their way to the limited express train. which was about rea y to leave, ecretary Blaine, on heariug the pistol shots, two in number, rushed in the direction from which they came, with a view of arresting the would-be assassin. Before reaching the man, however, the Secretary returned to the President and found him prostrated. Both shots took effect, the first hi the right arm, and the second just above the right hip and near the kidney. The physicians have probed for tne ball unsuccessfully. Station Agent Carney arrested the assassin, who said: "I did it; I am a Stalwart, and Arthur is now President. Take a letter I have here to General Sherman, and he will tell you all about it." THE WOUNDS. The President was shot twice, one ball entered (mm the rear to one side, and is believed to have passed through the kidneys. The doctors hold out some hoie of possible recovery, but it is plain that they feel but little if any hope. One shot went through the arm. The President talked to a Western Associated Press reporter just now; said he felt pretty strong considering his wounds, but complained of a tingling sensation in his feet as annoying him more than anything else. The man who shot him wrote his name on a card as CHARLES OUITTEAU, attorney at law, of Chicago. Washington is wild with excitement and the whole populace is gathered about the Baltimore and Potomac Depot. The man had evidently deliberately planned the assassination with the idea, so far as can now be ascertained, of making Arthur President. THE PRESIDENT CONSCIOUS. Washington, July 2, 11:05 a. m. President (, arfleld is conscious ai:d does not complain of gi eat suffering. He has Just dictated a telegram to his wife. It is impossible to say, as yet, what tte result will be, but the surgeons are of the opinion that the wounds are not necessarily fatal. The following telegram has been sent: "Mrs. Garfield, Klberon, Long Branch: "The President wishes me to say to you, from him, that he has been siriously hurt. How seriously, he can not yet say. He is himself, and hopes you will come to him soon. He sends his love to you. A. F. Rockwell." A LKTTKÜ TO SHERMAN. Washington, July i The name of the assassin, as written by himself, is Charles Gutteau, and ha says that he is an attorney at law in Chicago. The Star says, In an extra last issued, that when the assassin was arrested he said, "I did it, and want to be arrested. I am a Stalwart, and Arthur is President now, I have a letter here that 1 want you to gire to General Sherman. It will explain everything. Take nie to the Police Station." HIS CONDITION IMPROVING. WASHiNQxoN.July 2,11:30. The condition of the President is very much improved. Immediately after the shooting his puise went down to fiftythree, and his face, as He was removed to the White House, was of an ashen hue. His pulse has now recovered to sixty-three, and the color is returning somewhat to his face. His general symptoms moreover denote a very considerable improvement. It is not thought wise to make any further attempts at present to withdraw the bullet, and it is difficult to determine until a thorough examinaUon is made how serious the internal injuries may be. Surface indications, however. give good ground for hoping that the President win raiiy. the government still lives. Long Branch. July 2. So far the only partlcu ' are of the shootiug oi the President received here are from tne following dispatch: "Executive Mansion, ) Washington, D. C, July 2. "General Swalm, Elberon, N. J.: "We have the President safely and comfortably settled In his room at the Executive Mansion, and his pulse is strong and nearly normal. So far as I can determine from what the surgeons say and from his general condition I feel verv hopeful. Come on as soon as you can get a special. Advise of the movement of your train when you can be expected. As the President paid on a similar occasion sixteen years; ago, "God reigns, and the Government at Washington still lives." (Signed) v 'A- F. Rockwell." NOTIFYING -THE MINISTERS. Washington, July 2. The following has been lorwaraea oy came ; . "DEPARTMENT OF STATE, WASHINGTON July 2. "James Russell Lowell, Minister, etc, London: "The President of the United States was shot this morning by an astas&in named Charles Guittean. The weapon was a large-sized revolver.

A gentleman who was an eye witness ot the at tempted assassination gives the following state meat of the occurrence: "I was coming down Pennsylvania avenue whei I aaw a carriage coming np the avenue, the hoi-scs running so fast that I thought they were running away. Just as the carriage arrived in front of me a man put his head out of the window and said: Taster! Faster! Faster! Damn it." After hearing this remark I thought there was something wrong, and I ran after the carriage. When it reached the depot a mau jumped out and entered the ladies' room. He had not been there more than three minutes when the Piesidcut arrived, stepped out of his carriage, and entered the ladies' room. The President after passing through a door was just turning the corner of a seat when the assassin, who was standing on the left of the door, fired. The ball struck the President in the back, and he fell forward. I ra n 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 cle r for the President and his party, grabbed the sKassiu by the neck, and as he pulled him out of the depot another policeman came to his assistance. Just after firing the shot, the assassin exclaimed: "1 have killed Garfield, Arthur is President; I am a Stalwart." While the President was lying on the floor of the ladies' room he was surrounded by Secretaries Windum, James and Blaine; Mrs. Hunt, Miss Windom and Mrs James were also standing near the President. In three or four minutes after the shooting Dr. Bliss arrived. The President was then put on a bed and carried up stairs, wheie an examination was made by the doctors. General Sherman then came and called an ambulance to carry the President to the White House.. -A spectator thus describes the removal of the President to the While House: "The President lay in the ambulance propped up with pillows, and with his right hand thrown over his head ; his face was ashy white, but bore a calm and placid look. He seemed perfectly conscious, and opened his eyes frequently to view the surroundings. While he was being carried up stairs he smiled sadly, and waved his hand in recognition of friends. His sufferings must have been intense, but he gave no sign of it, and was as gentle and submissive as a child." CONVEYING THE PRESIDENT TO THE WHITE HOUSE. At 10 o'clock it became generally known that the President was not dead, and that there was a chance of his recovery. About 10:15 there was a great commotion along Pennsylvania avenue. Word was passed from mouth to mouth with rauch greater rapidity than a horse could fly that the President was being removed from the depot to the White House. Crowds rushed to the curb aud waited the approach of the procession. Frst came mounted policemen on a gallon about sixty yards in advance of the police ambulance. In front of and surrounding the ambulance were eight other mounted officers. The vehicle Was drawn by a pair of gray horses which, under the lash of the driver, went at a full aallop up the south side of the avenue. Colonel Corbin, of the Adjutant General's office, sat on the seat by the driver and three or four men hung to the steps in the rear. Several physicians preceded the caValcade in carriages and the rear was covered by four mounted officers. The gates at the east entrance of the White House grounds south of the Treasury Building were thrown open as the am balance approached, and the mournful procession entered. The crowds of people on foot who ran at full fpeed behind the escort were prevented from filtering the grounds by the closing of the gates, and policemen were stationed at every entrance to prevent the people from invading the grounds. The ambulance was driven to the smith entrance of the building, and the wounded President was carefully carried to the northwest chamber on the second floor. Before President Gartield was taken from the depot word was sent to the Arsenal, and four foot batteries and a mounted detachment of a light battery, numbering in all. ABOUT ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY MEN were ordered on duty, some of the soldiers were Ktationed about the depot, and others were sent to the WhUe House grounds. A cheer was given from the waiting crowds on Fifteenth street as the soldiers entered the grounds. The footmen stacked their guns in front and to the east of the building, and sentries were detailed to patrol the grounds. The policemen at the gatfs .were very strict in prohibiting admission of visitors. There were hundreds of people in front of the grounds men, women and children, clinging to the iron pickets of the fence, and the approaches to the gates were surrounded by a crowd of people eagerly awaiting reports of the President's condition Representatives of the press and prominent public men were admitted to the grounds, and as they ieturned from the Executive Mansion they were surrounded bv waiting crowds and virtually compelled totel'l all that they knew regarding the sufferer. There were several ladies at the White House. Mrs. McVeagh was Informed of the attempted assassination as soon as the catastrophe occurred. She went at once to the White House and personally supervised the arrangements for the President's reception before he was removed from the depot. Mrs. Blaine was also o e of the first ladies to reach the Executive Mansion. She had not gone to the depot, and after hearing the sad news did all that lay in her power to make the sufferer comfortable. Mrs Hunt and Mrs. Windom also visited the White House. All of the members of the Cabinet were there occupyixg seats In the private office awaiting reports of the physicians who were with the President. Also the foreign ministers. The news of the attempt on the President's life was speedily communicated to the different foreign Legations, and they sent dispatches to their Governments. Byron Andrews, correspondent of the Chicago jnter-ocean, wno is mentioned in the letter of the assassin, makes the following statement: THOSE PAPERS. Washington, July 2. The package of docu ments left by Guitteau intended for Byron Andrews, of the Chicago Inter-Ocean, were placed in the hands of the police, and were not delivered to that gentleman. Afterward they were handed to District Attorney Corkhiil. In whose possesion they now remain Every effort has been made to obtain them from Colonel Corkhiil, but he deems it improper at this time to give them out for publication, and steadfastly refuses to permit them to be telegraphed or even exam ined. Only the contents of a note addressed to Andrews was communicated to him as a basis for his sworn statement that he had no acquaintance witn uuuieau.
