Other matters OF momentous imno,t
snee, and many personal am billions, tbo
lulure OF many men, are depending OH
the fate of the President, but il seam.
proper to state this more particularly be-.
cause Gen. Garfeld's position has been
very generally misrepresented. Hi,
courage and purpose have been
doubted. 1t may, however, be relied
upon that he has determination To
bring the star route thieves to Justice
ana that he was never stronger in that
dete- mlnation than on Saturday morn
ing, a week ago. There is no intention
otcharglng the star route people with
any connection with the crime, but fine
truth OF the Presidents position towards
them ought to be known
SUFFERING GUITTEAU.
This is hell, !" said Guittesu peeyisbIv
as h9 paced up and down his FIVE by eiO5t
feet cell yesterday. He asked the quad
to tell him whether the President was
dead or not, and if alive still what wera
his chances Of recovery. No reply was
made. He then declared that he would
not tell any more to any official VIII
should visit him until he should be a.
| lowed to see the papers. There is genera
commentator Of the courIe pursued in
regard 10 Guitteau What he would ike
would be that newspaper Reporters
! should have access to him, that his oDis-
ions and doings should be spread abroad.
and that be should be allowed to feed biz
| love of notoriety by dosting over the
papers daily. Instead of this, no infor.
nation is allowed to reach him. No one
is allowed to visit him, save the law Off
GERS of government and the district
This seclusion is the worst punishment
that could be Inflicted upon him, and he
| Cbafes under tt. A company of artillery
| is stationed inside the jail wall, and
an officer is constantly on guard in the
corridor in front of Guittesu's cell.
One Of the deputy wardens is also there
constantly, but they are forbidden to
| speak to him. They are placed so they
could instantly Illustrate any attempt ct
| suicide or escape. There is no posi-.
bility Of his breaking cut, or of q mob
breaking in. The outer wall Of the prison
is three feet thick. Within tina. is
corridor eighteen feet wide then comes
another three feet Of masonry, and inside
these are the cells. The cell he occupies
was formerly occupied By Percy Brown,
grave robber, who Is now serving q
term for discriminating. When Guittean
arrived Blown was removed to another
While Brown was in the cell, hu orna-
naented the walls with pictures cut frem
illustrated papers. Above the door il
motto card with the inscription "Be
faithful" In the upper part of the wal
alongside of the bed, is q Woodcut repre-
senting General Washington aad bis

pictures were in the cell when Guttes1
entered it. Guitteau receives the same
treatment as the rest Of the prisOnef
His prison cot is furnished with straw
mattress, two blankets and pillow.
Every person is required to keep MS cell
in order. he leads a very humdrum
life, but probably gets better meals thar
he averaged on the outside, AMI
certainly he has to make las
shifts TO get them. At 9 pm. the gsiB
turned off and he lights in the cells %
out, when there is nothing for him to 30
but go to bed. He eats and sleeps vel.
There cou be no severer punishment 70
person of his fepraved mind end per-
verted feelings than the seclusion snd
ignorance in which he is kept His
egotism and vanity are immense, sDd
nothing troubles him save that he is moi
allowed to revel Ia the details Of bis
crime.
General j. S. Cercker, the guard OF
the jail, said to your correspondent to-
day: Since he has been here he has
never manifested any sign Of regret ORE
morse on account of his act. he takes
pride in the nO.oriety be thinks be has
gained, snd would like to talk about /.
constantly IL allowed. He was very IN
quisitive at first in regard to events. ou'
no one was allowed 10 talk to him or give
him any attention, and hs hiss stopper
asking questions because he finds It no
use. He lounges on the bed a good asaI
Of his time. Sometimes ne Wales up aIu
down his cell for exercise, ana ne re&o9
about half his time. After he found ne
could not get hold Of any newspaper, No
asked f1r some reading matter. L men
toned several books tina. We had mere,
hnt he did not care for them, and ssid ne
would rather have a Bible. He Wss
given ons and said he would read ]!
through by sections. suppose ne meant
ke would stsrt at Genesis and go through
as that is the way be seems to De colug.
Although be receives no information Ae
surmises that the President Is sun ailVs
