Tho Courage Of the President.

WAsHINaToN. July 5.-Whatever the
doctors may say, the belief of the family
that the President will recover cannot be
shaken. Mira. Garfield is very certain
that her husband will recover. After
her exciting ride and terrible anxiety 0f
Saturday, some time past midnight she
fell asleep from exhaustion. She arose
Sunday morning much refreshed. She
spent the greater part Of the day at the
sick bed. About 3 o'clock she entered
the room where the cabinet weru in at
tendance, and expressed the greatest
confidence that the President sau!d re-
cover. The President himself shared this
opioion. Once only has he fel: that his
hours were numbered; that was in the
early evening of Saturday, when, at his
own request, at the time when he seemed
to he sinking 80 rapidly, the physicians
told him that the chances were that he
had not many hours TO live. But it was
only for very short timo that he
seemed to feel that his end was near,
and even then he was not despondent.
Late in the night he TALKED of pleasant
things, and discussed with the watching
physicians. DR.. Bliss, what effect upon
his (tho President's) career would have
been had brother Of DR.. Bliss, who was
Garheld's boy companion, failed to re-
turn TO him $40 note which he had
lost. "The loss OF that note," said the
President. might have prevented my
going to school might have prevented
N from becomming President"
The Presidents mind during the night
was constantly on pleasant things of this
sort, and he conversed cheerfully in. all
his waking intervals during the night.
Secretary Window remarked Monday
morning, eff the President had not been
one of The greatest men in the world. he
would not be alive. He does not treat
his condition lightly, nor assume an air
of brayado, but. contemplating the
probabilities of his situation, with the
calm heroism of Christian. he Is firm
and determined, yet cheerful"
Thia seems &c describe the Presidents
mental condition perfectly. He hss q
SOUL that knows no fear, and while he
undoubtedly fully realizes the imminent
danger of his situation. he has nat peF-
mitte,l it for an instant TO unnerve him
or To cloud his faculties. His pain,
which has been at times intense, has
been borne with patient cheerfalness,

newsboy now crying out Garfeld's death.
The President had been she. the night
before, and he died aboubt7 O'Clock in
the morning. There was excitement
here and an immense crowd sur.
rounded the custom house as the gov.

to chastise the regular army spirit, and

General Garfield said to me, II think

very brutal men to fight, Butler and Lo.
gam" lie spoke against any person
being very guarded in his censure, and
he WAS never satirical. OF Conkling he
once said to me, about twelve years ago:
"Conkling can never forget that he was
the head of the Utica bar" thought it
was satirical but it was true that the bar
OF Utica for many years WAS considered
the very best in New York or tho
north. 1t was the best bar in the State
of New York for fifty years.

Scenes In tho Presidents Chamber ON
Saturday Night.
Special TO New York Times,

WAsHINGTON, July 3.-Never since
the 14th of April, 1865, when the citizens
Of the entire Nation were looking for the
momentary death of the martyred Lin.
coin, has the White House been the
scene of such terrible death h-watch as it
was last night. Whether the President
lives or dies, the night OF the Cd of July
will forever mark an era in the history of
tho Executive Mansion, and the Incl.
dents of that night, VIXEN the life Of
President Garfield hung trembling in the
balance, will he read with interest so long
as the English language is read or
spoken. The full particulars Of that
night of anxious watching and fearful
forebo.lings will probably never be writ
ten. The actors in the scene were TOO
busy and too much excited by their feara
to remember half of the little incidents
which go to make up the ii ag:: ssory
but son.e dim pictures of the terrible life
drama which was enacted in the Presi-.

The AssassIn,s Cool Bearing.

WAsHISaToN, July 3.-The old dis
trict Jail, in which the conspirators
against President Lincoln aud Secretary
Seward were confined, has been long
since destroyed. The present district
Jail, 10 which Guiteau is confined, is one
of Mulletts structures, building of the
dark red Seneca sandstone, once so much
i'll vogue in the district, about a mile
east OF the Capitol, on the eastern branch
of the Potomac. There has been no
demonstration of any kind about the
jail, out in view Of the excited state of
the public the authorities have taken
measures TO protect it in case Of any out
break of mob violence. AS an additional
protection they also refuse to give the
number of the cell or part of the jail in
which Guiteau is confined. He was
brought to the Jail at about half. past 10
O'Clock last night. Deputy Warden
McGill, who received him, says his man.
neT Was not excited, and his nerves
seemed to be in complete CONTROL
When taken into his cell he took off his
coat, threw himself down on the bed,
and began reading newspaper. Ho ate
his aupper. and didn't display any lack
of appetite. He had little to say To any
of the officers, but declared that what he
had done he had been compelled to do
by God Almighty.
Chief Brooks of the Secret Service
came to see him at IL o'clock, and re-.
mained for nearly two hours conversing
with him. He said to Mr.. Brooks:
Docs the President suffer much ?"
Mr.. Brooks replied: "He is suffering
very much indeed"
Guiteau said: II am sorry, very sorry
indeed that he suffers. l wish had put
another ball into him. That reni.a L.=o
ended his suffering quickly"
To Chief Brooks inquiries az 70 his
motives, Guiteau also replied that he
had been compelled 10 do as be had done
by God Almighty. He was sorry for
President Garfield, but the best way 20
rave the Republican party was to put
Mr.. Arthur at the head of affairs. He
further said in the course OF h,s conver.
sation, that nothing that Dir. Brooks
C. lid say could disturb him In his belief
that he had acted for the best. He re.
markeh this morning that he could not
get to sleep until O'Clock, because his

"Unquestlonably," said Dr.. Carey,

Gould Bays an Opera House.

New YORK, Nov. 29.-Tuesday's
Times says: Jay Gould has added the
Grand Opera House in this city to his
almost countless worldly possessions.
This magnificent building is situated on
the corner of Twenty-shird street and
Eighth avenue. It contained the main
offices of the Erie railroad during the
luxurious regime of Fiske and Gould,
and it has been the property of the rail-
road company ever since. Gould ex-
changed for 1t some valuable coal lands
which the Erie Company wanted.

The Organization Of the House.

WASHINGTON, Nov. ga Republi-
can caucus is called for Saturday next.
The choice for Clerk of the House will,
it Is conceded, lie between ex-Clerk
Mcpherson of Pennsylvania and Exon
gresham Rainey of South Carolina,
with the chances largely in favor of the
former. Among the candidates for
Sergeant-at-Arms is James P. Davies OF
New York. Davies wavies all claim to
recognition in the event that Hiscock is
the selection as Speaker.
There are nine candidates fer Speaker
now in the field: Kiefer, Kasson, Orth,
Dunnell, Burrows, Henderson, Hiscock,
Reed, and Robinson. No combinations
have been effected, and the condition of
the vote is somewhat chaotic. Hiscock
and Kiefer are apparently leading, and
is not gaining any; in fact he appears
to be losing strength.
1t is almost foregone conclusion that
Capt. Sherwood, former Postmaster of
the House, will be elected to that posi-
ton. Private Dalzell is his competitor.
Dawson Of California seems to stand a
first-rate chance for Sergeant-at-Arms,
and Ed ward Mcpherson certainly is in
the lead for Chief Clerk.

"station" is to be used on its lines
henceforth, and even the great "Union

one difficulty in the way of this change.
is that the words "depot" and "station"

Success Of the Baptists ia Utah

NEW YORK, Nov. pa preacher
frem Ogden, Utah, addressed the Bap-
fist pastors in their Conference yester-
day. He said that the Baptists were
the last to enter Utah and the Rocky
Mountain region, but they seemed pc
culiarly adapted to the field. Half a
million dollars had been spent in Salt
Lake City by the different denomina-
tions, but the result was hardly appar-
ent. In connection with the churches
day schools were maintained, which
exerted greater influence for good ap
parently than the churches themselves.
The speaker said he organized his
church with Is members and it now
had 10, and was the only church able
to maintain prayer meetings. The
other churches could not get more than
four, or six at the outside, together at
prayer meeting. The preacher &C
knowledged that there had not been a
single conversion in his church since it
was established, four years ago. There
was no Baptist church nearer Ogden
than Laramie City, Wyoming, AGO
miles away. The object of the preach
er's visit East was, he said, to raise
money to build church.
