Gultteau's Impudence.
| WASHINGTON, July Sth.-Tie State De-

which it proposes to make public as soon as
| the existing excitement is somewhat ailayed.

notes, written by Guitteau to Secretary
Blaine and Assistant Secretary Hill, respect
ing foreign appointments which he desired.
| The first two or three relate to the Austrian
mission, and are couched in respectful Ian.
guage. The rest are filed with impudent
| fsmiliarities, one of which reads as follows {:

| The New York Herald" on GuItteau.
NEW YORK, July 8th.-Discussing Cult
teau's crime and its punishment, the Herald
asks, How would fogging do? If some of
these pistol.shootfng ruthans, who go about
committing homicdes for notoriety, could be
we'll hogged, it would do them good. If Cult
teaa could have twenty stripes a week for a
year or SO as a part of his punishment, it
would make Prssident-shooting very un-
popular.
Guitteau Repudiated.
WASHINGTON, July 8th.-A citizen of
Freeport, H., telegraphs Blaine that the
people of that place, realizing the odium of
Guitteau's having formerly resided there,
hope and pray that God in His goodness may
restore the President to health, and to a low
| ing country. They also send tender tribute
to Mrs. Garfield, and say the community
deeply sympathize with the family of the late
L. w. Guitteau, whose standing is second to
none in Freeport.
No Mystery In the Case.
WASHINGTON, July 8th.-Chief Brooks, of
the Secret Service Division, WHO investigated
the assassination, to see if Guitteau had any
! confederates, said to-day: "Our investiga-
tions are about over. We looked over the
whole field. There is really nothing that
has been published in the case. except the
name Of the unfortunate gentleman, who
through mistaken benevolence, lent Guitteau
money, believing it was to help him pay his
board. They would probably be of no i'm
portance to any one. Except that the gen.
tleman himself were to make it public, it
would be doing a great wrong. People are
so apt to discredit what man says or does. "

Guitteau that he is insane"
He is an eccentric man, a man who would
be fanatical about any subject he might dab
Bile in. He would go to extremes. do not
think that anything he said to me indicates
irrationality. He is as sane as any man.
| An insane man, monomanlac, rather,
excites ones pity. He excites antagonism.
Ones disposition is to argue with him.
| When one advances an argument that battles
him. he seems to realize that position is un-
tenable, and patiently says, don't want to
argue with you; you can't convince me. and
l can't change your views" There is
really no mystery about the case, said Major
Brooks. Gas stated, the newspapers have
printed everything about it. They have got
everything in some way. AS for Guitteau's
past career, the newspaper reporters seem to
have found all about that"
