THE assassin Gulteau was fred at
through the window of his cell, one night
last week by a sergeant of the guard at

very near the assassin and lodged in the
wall beyond. The wretch is said to have
been terribly frightened, and when his
cell was visited by Gen. Croker. The war
den of the jail, he was found on hi. knees
in terrible state of trepidation. He i'm
plored Gen. Croker to adopt some means

The sergeant who did the shooting has
been placed under arrest. He says that
he and number of his comrades, had
made a vow. as soon as the assas-
sination was known to them. to shoot the
miscreant at the first eppor unity it is
thought however, that his MAD was af
fected by drink at the time lie did the
shooting. The act of the sergeant is a
source of much chaerin to the officers of
his regiment, who regard it as grave
and shameful violation Of mil;iray discip-
line. Guiteau has been removed to an

In thus correcting Mr. Harris's state
ment, and controyerting his conclusions,
we are animated by NO hostility whatever
to Judge Magruder. We fully concur
with Mr.. Harris in saying that Judge Ma
gruder is an excellent lawyer, and up
right moral gentleman, and we are not
sure that we differ from him in the opin-
ion that Judge Magruder is entitled to
the support of all true Democrats, but not
certainly as the nominee of the Demo
cratic convention.

to be the universal sentiment. and VIC
think that justice 70 him almost demands
his continuance in the affice, for which he
is entirely fitted by his great habits of in
dustry, s.patience, and his long expcr-
fence in the practice of his profession
That there have been no nominations
