GUITEAU.
What Mr.. Moody, the Evangelist, Says
of the Assassin.

Of the Assassin.
NEW YORK, July ia statement having
appeared in the press that Guiteau had been a
co-worker with Mr.. Moody, the evangelist,
and had lectured under the auspices Of the
Chicago Christian Association, reporter
called on Mr.. Moody in Mortified, Mass, to
ascertain what he knew about him. Mr.
Moody stated that he had known Guiteau ten
years. He never had any confidence in him
and thought him bad man. He had more
egotism and assurance than any man he know
and he thought he was not entirely sound in
mind. At the opening of meetings conducted
by Moody and Sankey in Chicago, in 1875,
Guiteau presented himself as an usher having
an immense red, white and blue rosette on the
lapel of his coat and baton in his hand. As
soon as Mr.. Moody saw him he had the rosette
and baton taken from him and refused to per-
init him to act as usher. Two or three times
ne had him put out of the inquiry room.
Guiteau wrote several threatening letters to
Mr.. Moody, saying that he was a lawyer and
would prosecute everybody connected with the
meetings. 1t was the opinion of those who
came in contact with him there that he was a
little, out of his mind. He followed Mr.
Moody to other places, but was never per-
mltted to take any part in the meeting or have
Der OF points to run up board bills on the plea
OF being with Mr.. Moody in his work and Mr..
Moody, while being annoyed, could only de-
nounce him as fraud and imposter.

Guiteau, veterinary surgeon in this city, is the
cousin OF Charles Guiteau. He has no doubt
the man is now insane and has been for years.
Two years ago he was in this city delivering
lectures on the subject of Christ, in which he
claimed that he was as great man as Christ
and that only tradition and superstition had
given the Saviour such world wide reputa-
ton. He appeared very strangely and his
relatives were afraid he would commit suicide
during his fits of hallucination

BETTER.
Reports from the Presidents
Bedside Still Encouraging.
NO RECURRENCE OF THE
FEVER MONDAY.
Anxiety Allayed by Subsequent
Events.

An increase in the temperature of the Pres
ident Monday afternoon seems to have caused
considerable alarm to his physicians and
friends. The subsistence of this symptom at
night and its absence during the day yesterday
has treasured them, and it is now believed that
the increased fever was the result of the
noise and confusion consequent upon the con-
struction of rstrigerating machine. His
physicians through the day yesterday reported
his condition as favorable as could be expect
ed. The Presidents spirits are said to have
suffered some depression Monday, and his con-
fdence in his recovery was not quite SO strong
as it had been previously. All his symptoms
at present, however, are favorable and there is
no reason for any diminution of the conf
dence which has been inspired by the steady
progress which the President has made during
the last ten days. Still he is by no means out
of danger, and it is possible that unfavorable
symptoms may yet develop themselves.

Customs and Revenue Receipts.
WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE books of the
United States Treasurer show that there is
now held by the Treasury to secure national
bank circulation and public deposits over
217,O0o,000 in bonds that have been converted
from and 6 per cent. bonds to bonds bearing
interest at the rate of 81 per cent. per annum.
OF the and per cent. bonds called at various
times for conversion into 4 per cent bonds,
there still remains in the Treasury as security
for national bank circulation over S4OO, 600.
As interest ceased on these bonds long ago, it
is singular that they are thus retained in the
Treasury. The per cent. bonds now held by
the Treasurer to secure national bank circula-
ton amount only to $4,000 900, and this
amount is being reduced daily by Withdrawals
Tor conversion into the Window, or 81 per
cent, bonds.
The new fiscal year opens with the promise
that the unusually largesreceipts Of last year,
will be fully maintained To the close of bus
mess on Saturday last the receipts footed up
600, or an average of over 81 zoo, 900
per day for the 10 days OF the current month,
including Sunday and the Fourth of July. OF
the amount stated above about Sc, 0O0, 900 were
received from customs, and 81 SOC, 900 from in
ternal revenue. Should the receipts from
these two sources continue at the rate marked
for the preceding ten days, the receipts for
July will aggregate at least $33, 900, 1000, as
over S3,000,000 will be received dnring the
month from the tax on banks.l

Fears Of a Recurrence Of the Presidents
Fever.
New YORK, July IA Washington special
says the physicians, the nurse and Mrs. Gar
field are only admitted to the room to-
day. Every precaution is taken to avoid
the return of the fever. The Presidents chill
dren did not see him this morning as usual
and they went away looking sad. The wound
has been dressed. DR.. Bliss says its appear
ance is healthy. This is the most anxious day
since July Sd. DR.. Boynton said this forenoon
that the President is very weak. He is a very
sick man. Any increase of the fever must be
regarded as serious matter If there is no
return of it to-day the surgeons in charge will
be justified in their statement that the noise
connected with the erection of the refrigerator
was the cause of the increase of the fever.
Should the temperature and pulse again reach
the figures of yesterday they must be prepared
to look for mora serious causes. We all hope
that there will be no return to such unfavora-
BILE conditions. DR.. Bliss despatched long
letter by the early mail to the consulting ply
sicians. He declined to give the substance of
it to the press. The Cabinet officers were
early on hand this morning, Postmaster Con-
eral James being the first. AS the various
members of the Cabinet left the White House
to-day they involuntarily showed their anxiety
and depression. Mr.. James, usually so brisk
and CHEEKY, walked without a word to his car
riage. They separated with less talk and each
took his way to his department in sober mood.
