posure and duty still remain to the nation
and to all its citizens. Mourning as well as
we all do, each man has his part of fortitude

The Assassin's DeprayIty.
WASHINGTON, July 5th.-A conversation
with Guitteau indicates that he firmly be-
lieved the change in the Presidency would be
credited to him, and that he would receive a
reward for it In his depravity he could not
appreciate the feeling of horror which his act
would arouse in the breast of every true man.
He imagined that he would become a great
hero. While his mind is not sound, those
who are admitted to see him do not as rule
consider him insane 1t is plain that no jury
will pronounce him insane if tried be-
fore the Courts here. He will undoubtedly
be held accountable for the crime.

ueh demand for pictures of Guitteau by the

Gultteau's Career ut Chicago.
CHICAGO, July 5th.-Evidences of Cult
teau's dead beatism are continually coming
to light. Nearly every boarding house keep
er in the city has bill against him. Nearly
every restaurant has his l. o. o., and al
the hotels have records to his discredit. The
cumulative evidence is rather to the effect
that he is on innate scoundrel, utterly devoid
of morality or decency. Nobody ever con
sidered him insane, but all attributed his &C
tons TO moral obhquity. 1t is said that he
was hung in etfisy at Flint, Michigan, with
the hearty execrations Of the citizens whe
took part IN the ceremony.
