JAMES, INTERVIEW.
The Great Brainy Man OF the Cabinct and
the Evening star"

II will be remembered that the doctors
decided few days ago TO allow the President to
receive the Cabinet officers separately, and that
I was arranged that there should be
no conversation, except that each should
assure him that there was no business re-
quiring his attention. Accordingly Attorney Gen
eral MooVeagh called first, and gave the President
an assurance that In the Department Of Justice
there was nothing requiring his attention advice,
or direction. He then withdrew. The Secretary
ofthe Treasury called the next day and told the
President that he was not needed for anything
connected with the Treasury Department The
Postmaster General was not admitted on the oc-
cason OF his first call, the President was asleep
Yesterday he called, and It Is TO be presumed that
In view ofthe prostrated condition Of the patient,
and OF the serious complication of the lung obsccss
there was no conversation other than such as had
been marked out forthe occasion by the physicians.
Ihe Star OF yesterday nevertheless had two sep
arate and differing reports of lengthy dialogues,
which the imagination Of Bill Cook and Ananias
NJ. Gibson had doubtless invented for the occasion.
IL was the sort OF rot concerning the star-route
sensation which they have been pumping into the
papers during the past three or four months. Since
this confidence game has been attempted II will
not be 0miss for THE REPUBLICAN to give its yer.
sion from another source. The following has been
furnished us. We do not, Of course, vouch for its
accuracy:
On entering the room, awkwardy and rubbing
his hat with his forearm like Yorkshire rustic in
an English farce, the Postmaster General looked
up sheepishly ut the President, and said, GOOD
morning." A look was the response
The President-"I am glad to see you"
| Tho Postmaster General-"I / am mighty glad 10

The Attempted Murder of Guitcau.

The assault upon Guiteau was n crime
which should, and doubtless will be, pun
ished by due process of law. The in
tended victim is, of course, and naturally,
the object of intense and universal hatred.
He is hated because he attempted the
death ofanother. The crime he sought to
commit was that of willful murder. But
hatred is not virtue. The killing of
Guiteau by private individual with
premeditation would be willful mur-
der, for which death is the punish
ment. The righteous indignation of
the community toward Guitcau does
not for moment justify or even palliate
the attempt made TO murder him on Sun
day evening. If each individual is to
kill whom he pleases, who shall be pun
ished? II is the law that must punish,
or else each man may be law unto him
self The courts are not endeavoring to
shield Guiteau from punishment. Those
who have him in custody are not his
friends, The attempt at numbering him
H. felony. 1t is not an oilense against
Guiteau. 1t is an assertion of the right
of private vengeance Society is formed
to put down private war, which is mur-
der, and TO throw around each man the
protecting power of all, by holding
each man responsible TO all for
his crimes. 1t will not be
well for society when each man may at
his own pleasure suspend its laws and
make himselfjudge, jury, and eXecutioner
In this connection it may be remarked
that the letters TO Guiteau expressive Of
wish to cut him in pieces and eat him
to torture him with hot pincers, and in
various other modes TO luXuriate in his
lingering death are not Creditable to the
writers or publishers of them. Fiends
like Guiteau may deserve tiendish treat

fendish things is not edifying. The
