' _ THE CRIME AGAINST O VB COUNTBV. j The attempted assassination of Presi- I dent Garfield, which bBB leen received 1 with auch universal sorrow and surprise, < is the darkest and moat fiendish deed ( that is recorded in the history of the .< United States. It has no parallel, un less, indeed, we call the assassination of President Lincoln a parallel. In thut instance, however, the country was in tho agony of n tremendous civil strife, in which the worst elementa of human na ture were asserting themselves on every hand, and murder and death were tho purpose of tho advocate* of each side, KO that although a wicked and n great political and national calamity, it could uot bu said to have been either unnatu ral or Improbable. In thin iustauce, however, the country has been at pro found peace for sixteen years, and for the pant five or six year? has been steadi ly growing iu prosperity aud material development. Tho new administration had been inaugurated only nome four months'; and despite nome acht of which (he country might complain, its over whelming drift had been towards the right to/>uch au extent that it gave promise ol'proving the wisest, mont conservativo und statesmanlike administration that hos been given tho country nineo tho war. Tho people of all sections and all parties were beginniug to appreciate and admiro tho independence aud wisdom of the President, which was fast restoring con fidence in American institutions, and giving hope for their mftintenauce and perpetuity. The prospects of tho coun try had never been brighter sinco tho civil war than they wero recently, until the rudo and startling shock that waa given them by the wild ?nd fiendish act nf Charl M Guitteaii on last Saturday. To Kee a man in a iand of law and liberty Btrlckeu down by the dastardly blow of an assassin, is alway*, revolting to the good and tho true. To General Gar field, a? an individual, and to his suffer ing, faithful and beautifully devoted wife, and his affectionate little children, thc sympathies and prayers and sorrows of their fellow-citizens everywhere goes out Insincerity nnd truth. But in this dark deed thc Bufferings and anguish which it carries to a pure and happy homo, and the dark ahadot? which it casts over their joys, ia a um all portion of the grief which our .people are called upon to. bear iii this crime, which through President Garfield is aimed at all that ia puro and.honorable in tho party to which ha belongs,'at all that gives our poople peace and quiet for the present, and hope for the Ai turo during tho coming years of the present admin istration, and wo may nay at the very heArt of our free iuatitutioua themselves. President Garfield represents tho Lieu element of tho dominant politics of tho country to-day, and for his independence aud pluck in maintaining his principles ho han been mado tho subject of na bitter jjjjjj j.?i-.j.?jCi;3 - f-j- his own pfifiy' ai has ever been wi tu cased in thia coun try. To this vf ar upon, thu President by the stalwart politicians aud the stalwart pres* may be fairly. and legltln .vly ascribed, tho attempt upon his life. Whether* tho deed ams prompted from tiny sourco of authority control among tho stalwarts will never be known, wo presume . but thal wing of tho Republi can party ia morally as clearly respon sible for the effort at assassination as if thc edict had gone forth from its cred ited leaders. Tho assassin says that hs , committed tho deed because it was ft political necessity to.restore the unity r,\ the Republican part/. Ho ahm sai j when he thought he had killed the Pres ident that Arthur is President. Ho pro claims himself a stalwart of tho stalwarts, and says that be was with General Grant und "our men" (meaning* tba stalwart politician*) in the New York canvass. If unprompted, his deed waa the act of a inouom?i?no wrought Un to t>.o point ni murder by tho denunciations ana len .placations,heaped upon the President from ?ll quarter* of tho stalwart organi zation. It was 033 moro in the many octa of fraud, violence, usurpation and - corruption which has characterized thc .*a.r*er o- ihl* pcitien cf tbs Republican party, which has clearly manifested its purpose to dominate American institu tions or destroy them. Tho *ct of Guit teau was tho cutcomo of the policy and teaching of thi* party ia our politic* which has i-it hesUrttcd to adze State governments by the use of bayonets, to buy electoral rotw, to menace the coun try with civil war when power was about to slip from them, aud to force apon the couuti*/:* President who they themselves admit was not elected, and now inst rwiHj?i- hita tiCit?trl fr-Arn tlinir liuml. iVw-. ?eek by violence to snatchi back from Tho people tho littlo of civil liberty which is beginti.i% to retun; to ns.

I Quitteau has frequented tho Htatc Dc ?iartmeut and White House Meeking u brolgn appointment without cflocl. Great sympathy is felt for tho president and gratitude that tho murderer failed of his purpose. A str?m? feeling prevailod favoring tho imm?diate execution of Gultteau, who, however, was sent to jail. GHKKN ?. KAUM, Commissioner. Dr. Townsend, health officer of tho dis trict, In a conversation this afternoon, enid : "I found the presidont, whon I ar rived at tho flaltinioro and Potomac de pot, about fivo minuter aftor thoshootitig occurred, in a vomiting and fainting con dition. 1 had his head lowered, which bad boon ein vated oy attendants, and ad ministered aromatic rpirlta of nmmoiila and brandv io revive him.

Dr. Towntioud loft thc president shortly afterward pomowhat re vived. Tho doctor said, at 2 p. m.. thal ho could not give an intelligent opinion as yet, but pronounce') tho wound a dungcroiiH, but not necessarily fatal. EVIDENCES OF A PLOT. There is a thoory which has inauy ad h?rents that tho attempted assassin at ior was not tho work of a lunatic, but tho ro suit of a plot much deeper and durkei than has been suspected. It is cited ir support of this theory that Guitteau ar ranged beforehand with a hack man tobi in readiness to drive him nwiftly in th? direction of Congressional cemetery a: soon as ho modo his appearance on ro turning from tho depot. In tho mean timo he hod left a bundle nf papera in tin hands of a boy with tho Intention, it l maintained, of creating a helief in his in sanity in t?.c event of hiscapt; ;o. Guit tenu said on hlo way to Jail thi.t tho proa idont'H assassination was premeditated and that ho went to Long Ii andi for th purposo of shooting him thorn, and wa deterred by tho enfeebled and eaddonei condition of Mrs. Garfield, which ap pooled so strongly to bis sense of human tty that ho carno back without carryiui nut bis intentions. ThoBO by whom Gultteau boa been ex amlned cinco tho shooting say that b shows no symptoms of inanity, and it i u nd era tooti that the letter which has al ready been telegraphed addressed, "T tho White Houso," I* the only docurnen in tho collection which supporta th thoory of iusauity. If. ls reported thr Gultteau had an accomplice, whose d< soriptlon is in tho hands* of tho polici and further developments aro anxlousl; looked for. BEOARDINO THR ASSASSIN. Tho district jail, a largo brown .-ton structure, situated at tho eastorn extron ity of tho city, was visited by an assi clatod pross reporter shortly ufter 1 o'clock for tho purpose of obtaining a interview with Charles Gultteau, the a aaasin of President Garfield.

N "M HISTORY CHICAGO. July 2.-L'barlc* J.Quitteau, who ?hot tho president this morning, boa boon known tn Chicago for tho pant twelve yean, and for much of the time han been conidderod aa moro than half insane. He may have had Fronch blood in bia veins, but was to all appearances an American. Ile wore his liair brushed up in front, giving bis foco a startling look. When bo first arrived in Chicago bo began practicing law. Ho marrieds sister of George Scoville, a well-known lawyer here, and lived about the Union placo. Hut being of a shiftless character, ho became a nuisance, and was finally forbidden his house bv Bcowllo. After living in u precarious fashion hero for sonjo time ho went to New York only to return lu 1878. Ho thon professed to have boon converted, and hegen lecturing under tho auspices of tho Young Men's Christian Association. Hu was next known iu connection with a scheme to buy out the Inter'Ocean and run it after tho pattern of the Now York Herald. As Quitteau hod no capital and no backing, his scheme collapsed, und ho returned to his former practice of ''dead beating." His reputation has no vor boen of tho beat, and his nani o was connected with sevoral scandals, until ho sunk so low that no notlco waa taken of him whatever. About six months ngo ho disappeared from his usual haunts, and has not been seen in Chicago since. Quitteau is de scribed by lawyers hore us having been while here what is known as a "shyster," whatever practico ho bsd being in tho Iowor criminal courts. Ho was regarded as weak-minded, and tit one time ww? fanatic on temperance, and delivered u lecture at the First Methodist Church on that subject. Failing io nay tho Tribune for ita advertisement of tho lecture, that papor wroto him up as a fraud und wns sued by him for libel, the suit novor com ing to lRsuo. Ho then wrote a pamphlet on tho Second Coining of Christ, which was published by Junsen ?c .McClure as a curiosity. Very little ?B definitely known of thc man, und mut little is un favorable in every way. Another Account of tho Shooting. WASUINOTON, July 2-11 A. M-Pres ident Qarfield wu shot twice this morn ing in the ladies' room of tho Baltimore und I'otoraao station. Ho had just left his carriego and wus walking arm in arm with Blaine. Ono shot entered bis side and in a very dangerous location. The ball hos not yet been extracted, but tho surgeon general ia probing for it now. Tho other shot entere:! lils arm. The i:<, who is unquestionably insane, Is a young lawyer trom Chicago, named Quitteau, an Italian. He said that be was a stalwart, and that Arthur was now President. His act ion was de liborato and determined. Ho shot first for the hoart mid next for the stomach. Blaine tried to soizo him, but could not, and cried out to tho bystanders to stop him. Ho was at once taken in charge, and in the most deliberate manner wroto his name on the station houso register. Tho first heard of lt up-town was tho President's horses and carriage tearing along Pennsylvania Avenue at a fright ful speed, and it was thought tho horses wcro running away, but tho coachman drove with g. eat presence of mind to the Burgeon-general's office, and summon ing that gentleman, drovo again on the run to the station. Qen, Qrirliold hud beou removed to a bed in ono of tho up per rooms. Ho was surrounded by j Blaine, Windoni, Hunt, and James and ; many ladies of tho Cabinet. His little sou stood by bis bedsido holding the President's Land and crying bitterly, j Several physicians wero summoned. Tho departments at one orono out uud tho streets wore full of terribly excited people. Tho military were called out by Gen. Hhermon and the streets aro full ol soldiers. Boon after tho catastrophe au ambu lance was sent to the station and thc Pr?sident was removed to tho WhlU Houso. A dispatch was sent to Mrs Qarfield ut Long Branch, and tho Pres! dent'u nama signed to it, saying he hat been shot but not dangerously so. Th? White Houso is surrounded by tho mili tary. Tho President has not lost conscious ness and is full of pluck. Ho says him I soli* that he will got well, but tho doctor are despondent.

WHAT TUE PAT1IEII OP THE ASSASSIN HAM TO HAY ABOUT HIS PON. HOSTON, July 3.-T"ie following is au extract from a lotter dated Mardi 30, If <3, from the father of tho assassin to .'o in W. Gultteau, bis brother, in this clt>*; in which he refers to Iiis son Charles as follows : "1 bavo bcon ready to liollevo him capable of almost, any folly, stupid ity or rascality. Tho one possible) excuse 1 can render for him is thal ho is insano. Indeed, if I waa called as a witness upon tho stand I um inclined to think fshould testify bc is absolutely insane aud hardly responsible for his ucta. My ov u im pression ls that unless somt;l?<inu shall stop him in his folly and mad caroor, he will become a fit subject for tho lunatic asylum. Ileforo ? finally gave him up I had exhausted all my powors of reason and persuasion, as well os other re sources, in endeavoring to control his actions and thoughts, but without avail. I found ho was deceitful, and could not bc depended upon in anything. Stub born, wilful, conceited and ut all times outrageously wicked and apparently pos sessed of tho devil. I saw him onco or tv. iee when it uoemed to mo ho was will ing to do almost anything wicked ho should happen to take a fancy to. You will remember, porhaps, nt the last con versation wo had about him, I told you to keep clear of him and not have any thiug .o do with him. Should anybody ask any thing about bim I should be com pelled to say to them that I thought he was insane, or at least a monomaniac, and should thoro leavo it and say no more about him. His insanity is of such a character that ho ls as likely to become a sly, cunning desperado os anything. Could I seo lum 1 might possibly make another and vigorous ell'ort to change tho channel of his thoughts and feeling?. If I could not do that I should have no hope whatever of being nblo to do him any good. I inado np my mind long ago novor to givo him another dollar in money until I should be convinced ho was thoroughly humbled and radically changed. 1 am sometimos afraid he would steal, rob or do anything boforo bis egotism and self-conceit shall bo knocked outof him, and perhaps oven nil that will not do it. So you seo I regard his case us hopeless, or nearly so, and of course know no other way but to dismiss him entirely from my mind and leavo bim In tho hands of his Maker, with very faint hopo that ho can bo changed either in this world or tho noxt." ?

The itory of tUt> Crime. j WASHINGTON, July 4. 1881.-Secretary Blaino says he parted witli President Garfield Friday evening, and left him in an unusually happy and cheerful framo of mind. Ho spoko with almost boyish glee of tho pleasure, ho anticipated from is coming and much needed reit. Tho conversation turning on lils departure in ! tho morning, ho asked tho premier if he would not go down to the tndn and see him off. It will bo remembered that Mr. Blaino was not to be ono of the presiden tial party. "Unless you promise faith fully," said the president jocularly, "I'm afraid you will not come, for I thfnk yon are not good at carly rising." Then bo added, more earnestly, "do come ; I should liko to roo you, os I lmvo some parting words for yon." To this Mr. ?ialiio replied: "I will cortainly go. I will call at the whlto house and take you to tho train in my carriage" The presi dont thanked him heartily, and tho two gentleman parted for tho night. Mr. Blaino said that bo called Saturday mornlug, according to promlso. It was then arranged that tho family and party should precede them in the president's carriage, aud that Mr. Garfield and the secretary should follow. This they did. Mr. Blaine then doscribed the conversa tion ou thu way rs they rodo slowly to the dopot. Mr. Blaino said tho president was unusually cheerful and disposed to talk very pleasantly. During tho ride down tho avenue the president conversed freely regarding the condition of tho ad ministration, tho presidont expressing his belief that they were getting on sin gularly well . that notwithstanding all tho reported discord among tho members of tho cabinet, they were becoming better acquainted willi each other; their rein tiona of cordiality and mutual confidence and respect were improving, and that tho administration was becoming Bolld and strong. "Yes, Mr. President," said the ' secretary, "and you and I know further that in all consultations and interchanges of thought between tbo members of tho cabinet and yourself thoro hos never been one Q0V70 or unkind utterance across tho cabinet table." "Ah. that ls a great com fort to mc, Blaino," said tho pr?sidant, who seamed to have fallen into a musing mood. So they talked, riding slowly, until tho dopot was roached. Tho presi ldent, who was ?Gated noxt to tho side walk, got out first, and asked tho police man stationed at tho dopot (Mr. Kear ney), "How long will it be until tho lim ited express goes out?" "About ilftoon minutes," was tho respectful reply. Turning to Mr. Blulno, tho presidont said : "Then I'll wait hero with yon." "No," said tho secretary, "wowlllgoln." Thoy walked into the dopot arm in arra, and proceeded through tho ladles' room, Mr. Blaine being of-the opinion that he had dropped tra president's arm as thoy passed between tho scats, but thoso pres ent *ay that bo did not.' The statvrr.?nt of Mr. Blaino, however, 1* confirmotl by Mrs. ^Vbito, tho atten dant in chaine of tho 'indios' walting room. ; Just as they woro. passing from tbo ladles' room i'n'o tholirgo room adjoin ing, Mr. Blaine was start lcd bj- a report -a vory loud report-of a pistol, und then immediately another. Soarely lind the second report rang out ou the air. wbon tho presidont exclaimed, "Oh, my God." Just then some one from tho rear of tho nrrsideut rushed past zhssd of him. "Mr. Blaino, supposing bim to bo lb? person who had fired tho shot, sunied In pursuit, but had-proooodod only a few yards whon ho was recalled by Mr. Gar field's groat, and turning, saw him lying on the lloor, tho blood flowing frum^two ugly wounds in tho arm and groin. "?* ?ll happened with such startllngrrapldlty that, strange as it may seem, at first glance, thia was the first Intimation Mr. ll lamo liad that tho president bad Deon the target tor the two shots. In his own mind ho attributed tho Dissident's ex clam it'on to tho fact that Ho was Btartlod by thc shooting and bo did not dream of j his bciug hort. Arter tho president had boen convoyed to tho white house, Mr. Blaino approach ed his bedside and roliovlug ono of tho attendants who waa fanning him per formed that labor or lovo himself. Sud denly tho president seomod to aronso from his sinpor, and looking up, smiled pleasantly. "How good you aro," ho said gratefully. Then a moment, Mr. Blame gently bowing his head toward ?dip, the nresldent placed bis arm around his noak "and sjdd, with an impulso of manner sa touching and. as icudpr as a woman, "you know how woll I lovo you. People whoso nature was both mis chiefous and selfish have sought to prej udice me against you, and though I bavo boen compelled from tbo motive of things to give them audience, jt has novor touchsd sss hsr?i," pcinti??ft to hts heart. THE CABINET ovnoEs, Secretary Lincoln, who, with his wife and'litUegir], remained in constant at tendance at th*? white hou?> fVom the time the president ai rived, seamed 10 feel the blow more deeply, perhaps, thar, any one axeept Mr. Blaine. Tim memo ries nf that tevrlblo night, sixteen years ago, when his father waa assassinated, was ovidsntly uppermost in his mind, *r.d he referred, to that sad oyontsev aril timon, r "My God," ho exclaimed this after noon when the new? waa. brought out HfljrtlfflriwMffiiiffllTfr^ from tho doctors timi tho case was well nigh hopeless, "how many hours of sor row I have passed hi this town." Postman tor-Gen oral James hero inter posed and said to Mr. Lincoln: "Do you remember how often General Gar field has referred to your father daring the txurt few days ?" "Tes." replied Mr. Lincoln, ' end it was only night before last that I entered into a doUilod recital of '.he event* on that awful night." Ins traction on the Organ and Piano. "fm/C?f?o V?
