Waiting for Guiteau.

THE wOULD-BE AVENGERS OF PRESIDENT GAR
FIELDS DEATH.
From the New York Sun. to-day.
The members of the little band who fish for
bass in the neighborhOOd during the day and
meet i'm WOolff's Old House by the Mill, near
New Dorp, Staten Island. after dark, are still
bent upon taking the life of the miserable
Guteau. During the lingering illness Of Presi-
dent Garfield they planned, in the event of his
death. to send an assassin to Guiteau's cell in
the guise of clergyman: but they were too
closely watched they say, and that scheme was
abandoned Charley Wolff is one oftheir leaders
He said yesterday:
..FIl guarantee Guiteau II never get away
alive. If he gets into the hands of the New Jer-
sew authorities we're sure to get him. We've
got plenty of men with us in New Jersey who
can shoot within an egg at sixty yards. / can
do it myself, and if the chance comes to me I'll
do it. and don't care what happens. We've
got plenty of money offered us. One business
house in New York has offered us coo for
any necessary expenses in getting at Guiteau.
A good deal Of money has been put up in Proyi-
dence and I'm going there next week to see
some of our members there. We've got men I'm

still alive and active. If Guiteau tries the in
sanity dodge he never will escape us alive

The Vice Presidency.

MR. WHEELERs ESTIMATE OF THE POSITION.
Vice President Wheeler used to express fire.
quently during his term his contempt for the
inactivity imposed upon him by the natural con-
ditions Of the office he held, describing it as
most monotonous one, and often saying that ex-
cept for the rare occasions when he had had the
opportunity to give casting vote his name
never appeared in the records of the Senate
during his term, and there was nothing to show
that he had taken any part in its proceedings.
He said that he thought the best thing ever re-
marked upon the Vice Presidency was Benjamin
Franklin's suggestion that the title by which
that officer should be addressed ought to be
His Most Super1uous Highness." 1t must,
therefore, have been little aggravating to Mr.
Wheeler to observe the opportunities given from
the first to his immediate successor to take an
active part, the Senate being tie, in it's delib-
erations, and that throughout his brief term as
Vice President he was central figure in national
politics.

Mrs. Garfleld;s Last Visit to the White HOuse.

When Mrs. Garf1eld, when last in washington,
made her one visit to the White House since
she left it with her invalid husband, on Septem-
ber 9th, she expressed the desire to see, for the
last time, the room where he had lain ill so
lOng-the same in which she was also ill for
several weeks. The friend who accompanied
her says that when first they entered the room
Mrs. Garfield looked so deadly pale she thought
she would faint, but with her customary self
control she maintained her composure and with
grateful feelings to those who had arranged
the room for her coming, noticed the taste and
affection they had shown in it's adornments.
The bed was covered with choicest flowers,
beautifully arranged. and On the pillows rested
a picture of the dead President

Figures never lie, except when manipulated to
prove that 2 and 2 make 5. z, g. II or Ii, or some
equally absurd arithmetical proposition. But the
failure of the crops does not warrant the pres
ent wildness of speculation. The cOnfding pub
lie is on stills. 1t is fed on the most absurd and
false reports respecting crops, demand and ex-
port.
President Arthur will have his hands full. He
must decide whether half-dOZen swindlers shall
be allowed to take possession of the country, or
whether it shall be controlled by the people.

Rufus Hatch on the Situation.

NEW YORK, October z.
The funeral is over and political and senti-
mental strife have recommended The feature
of the former is the corner of the half-breeds in
the republican state convention, which seems to
be about equal to the corper in Hannibal and
st. 10. The latter turns on the point whether
the public shall shower it's charity on the widow,
orphans and mother of President Garfield, or
dole it out to the fifteen thousand Michigan suf-
ferers. The newspapers battle over it and
argue for and against without thinking how
distasteful their comments must be to Mrs Gar
field. Probably if she were consulted she would
say: 'Give all your aims to those who need it a
thousand times more than we do. We need no
mOre.'
And writing of the Garfield fund forciby re-
minds us Of the man who first called for that
financial aid and the motives assigned to his ac-
tiOns. Some hold that Mr.. Field was in the con-
idence of the doctors and knew that the wound
would be fatal. Others believe that he fancied
that the President might recover and that he
proposed the fund as poltico-financal meas
ure Others again. claim that Mr.. Field is a
self-sacrificing and disinterested friend. These
are speculatiOns that can only be unraveiled 10y
Cyrus himself
There was great Cyrus who fiourished $50
years before Christi but history tells us that few
years later he was defeated and slain. The les
sOr Cyrus Of our day is demonstrating the saving
that history repeats ITSELF After having laid
the Atlantic cable he became entangled in the
Manhattan railroad web. His pro and con
letters to Samuel Tilden on subject so prolific
of financial fraud are still fresh i'm the minds of
many of the investors and are not to be for
gotten in day. Cyrus has slain himself, and
the half-breeds are claiming his body.
Leaving Cyrus with sentiment and ancient
history, we turn our attention to the interview
between the learned and polished Mr.. Garrett
and the urbane and gentlemanly VIM. H. VAN
derbilt. William H. did wrong in using turf
slang to express his feelings. Honey-fugling is
not good word. even though framed on the re-
spectability of the Tribune. The only way any
one can see to settle the question amicably is for
each gentleman to resign his presidency i'm favor
of the other. Thus Mr.. Garrett would become
president of the New York Central and Mr. Van
derbilt president of the Baltimore & Ohio rail-
road, with all it's branches. Each could then
see how it is himself.

Il.
John Fallen. a veteran soldier, appeared at
the office of the District-Attorney yesterday and
claimed to represent an organization Of soldiers
and sailors in this city who had been swindled
out of their bounty claims by j. p. Herman,
who formerly had an Office here. Fallen said that
he had given Herman power of attorney to collect
his claim, but had not received a cent. Hewas
informed that, having given Herman power Of
attorney to collect his Claim and the government
having paid the same, his remedy was against
Herman and that the government could take no
action. Herman, 1t is said. used to advertise
largely as a claim agent and established an ofhce
