medistely after his sojourn in the Oneida
community, he was married in Chicago,
and the union resulted very unhsppily.
Guitteau proved himself of very proud,
Jealous disposition, which several times
found vent in besting bis wife They
had but one child, who diu not survive
his domestic tyranny. Because Of his
outrageous treatment they separs ed, md
not because of his poverty. He never
made any effort to support her, but
drifed aimlessly from city TO city.
He knew she was true wife, and
grieved for q year and 3 half like child

played any settled ambition other than
his wild passion for declaining on reli-

CoNKLING's SYMPATHY.
The Inter- Ocean's New York giveI
one or two more dispatches, written by
Conkling for delivery to the President or
family. One is dated July I'd, s2d
makes q long argument to show that
Conkling has not been Indifferent in the
matter of the Presidents condition, but
on the contrary, is deeply moved and
sympathetic in word act and thought.
BOARDING HOUSE BILLS.
Inter- Oceans Washington: Guitteau
wants bis biography written and says it
would read like romance. To be accu-
rate it would have to comprise the fol-
lowing which was to be Inserted in the
Post last Saturday:
"WAhTED, Charles Guitteau. of Hi
nois, who gives the President and Sec
rotary Blaine as reference, to call at pa
Fourteenth-street, to pay his board
bills" ~
What is remarkable about this is that
aoIlaH In iRenFt the
advertisement, whick was about q couple
of hours after the President had be- n
ahot, she was ignorant of the occur
renee.
Guitteau breads crowds, fearing with
mental terror they will kill him fer his
act. He is generally ignorant Of the
condition of things outside the Jail. He
thinks he is misunderstood and mlsre-
presented.
The state department has an interest
ing little correspondence which it pro-
poses to make public as soon ss the
existing excitement is somewhat sllsyed.
Tt covers a number Of long letters and
short notes, written by Guitteau to Soc
rotary Blaine and Assistant Secretary
Hill, respecting foreign appointments he
desired. The first two or three IN the
first series that related to the Austrian
mission, are couched in respectful Ian
guage. The rest, and all Of the several
series which relate to consul general at
Paris and the consulate at Marseilles, are
filed with impudont familiarities. A
note which forms s. connecting link be-
tween the series runs as follows:
My Dear Blaine:
Garfield leaves this thing entirely in
your hands. He puts entire confidence in
your discretion. If Kasson does not
want to leave Vienna I will not insist
upon my request for it. I will take the
consulate general at Paris. Yours,
CHAs. j. GUITTEAU.
