TALK ar WASHINGTON,

The New Cabinet Should Arthur Succeed

ing Of the Bloody Shirt.
WASHINGTON, July THE talk here
is that il Arthur succeeds through Car
fields death to the chief magistracy, he
will make Grant Secretary oi State, En-
DRY StOrrs, Attorney General, Postmas-
ter Fiiley OF st. Louis, Postmaster Gen-
raj. Of all the present cabinet there
would possibly be but one retained, the
Secretary OF War, and even his retention
is only possibility. 1t would mean
an administration, which would seek
perpetuation OF the issues OF
the war; keep Haunting to
the breeze the bloody shirt, and policy
of aggression toward the South. 1t
would mean, too,
An Administration of Vengeance.
1t would mean war on Blaine, bitter
to the end. In many circles Arthur is
regarded as the lowest type OF the
machine politician. A prominent Re-
publican jurist expressed his belief that

This is Mr.. Arthur's fault. lie was ap.

action excited the deepest indi! nation
among Democratic Senators. There has

THE LONDON PRESS.
Comments of the Press.


LONDON, July 2.-The Post says: No
event has so profoundly moved the
Enpl 81 nation for many yeara, not ex-
cepting the assassination OF the Gar, as
the attempt upon the life OF President
Garfield. We venture to say not only
in England, but wherever the English
language is spoken, the tidings have fall
en- with all force Ct domestic lamity.
We hope Garfield may be spared to dis.
charge the duties of his proud office, but
we cannot Danish feelings awakened
by the gravest apprehensions OF the
crime, apparently motiveless and pur-
pose!ess, Garfield has done nothing to
provoke the political animosity which
81 frequently furnishes an excuse for
regicide. We fail to see how the murder
OF a President can serve the ends OF any
political party. There seems no doubt
the assassin is insane. 1t will be salts.
factory to know the crime is not the
outcome of Nihilism. We may be per-
mitted to hope with Garfeld's excellent
constitution he will steadily recover.
1t is irrepressibly saddening to think
that by the act OF miserable idiot the
President OF a mighty republic and
nominal ruler of millions of the most
intelligent and industrious people should
be laid at deaths door, the machinery Of
the Cabinet momentarily paralyzed and
possibly two States on opposite sides OF
the Atlantic plunged into mourning.
The Daily M~s says: 1t gives US the
liveliest satisfaction to be able to an
nounce that there is now every hope OF
Gartield's recovery; that the utmost
sympathy will be felt throughout Eng
land with Mrs. Garfield and the people
OF America in the grievous misfortune
which has beialen them. The Queen
has given fitting expression to this sym.
pathy by the dispatch OF kilograms to Mr..
and Mrs. Garfield. The former wonthe
general respect OF friend and foe. There
seems TO be no reason to dou.t that
Guitteau was instigated by purely
personal motives, and vengeance OF
batfled cupidity can seldom have select
ell a more blameless victim than Gar
field. One feature If this disaster is the
absence OF all excuse for connecting it
with revolutionary enterprise. Political
assassination has lately stimulated the
imaginations OF many people to q NOR
bid pitch of alarm, and the language of
yaporing braggarts like O'Donovan

dio. He took the regular prison food
this morning and swept up his cell
quite as we'll as any OF his fellow prison
ers. No one has called specially to see
Guitteau, except lady whose name was
not learned, and whose request was
promptly refused.
At noon to. day Chief Brooks, OF the
treasury secret service, had long inter
view with the prisoner. Mr.. Brooks is
OF the opinion
Guiteau Has No Accomplices,
but the act was the result Of insanity.
Guiteau applied to the keeper of the
street car stables on + street, north
west, about 10 o'clock Friday
night to be permitted to sleep in the
stable that night. He had a felt hat
with him which he offered to give to the
stable boy to remain, stating that he had
no money and that he had been
turned out by a boarding house
keeper. He said he expected to get
$500 the next day yesterday. He was
refused lodging at the stable and left.
The Papers Taken. from Guiteau
are represented by those who have q
knowledge Of them, to be of frivolous
character, some of them contain
ing the same sentiment as that
in the letter taken from his person
when arrested. They have no import.
ant significance. 1t is, however, Cork,
hills purpose to keep them to himself
until
Thoy be Laid Before the Grand Jury.
1t has not yet been ascertained where
Gutteau got the pistol, but it Is said he
had a watch lew days ago, and the
theory now is that he traded the watch
for the pistol.
1t Is the Opinion of the Cabinet
and other high authorities that the
assassination was entirely the act
of Gutteau, that he had no accomplice
and let nobody into the secret o! his
fell purpose. The most thorough inves.
tigation by the secret service force and
the detectives have convinced the au'
lhorlties of this.

minutes when the President arrived
and stepped out of his carriage and en-

The President was then put on bed and
carried up stairs, where an ex'
animation was made by the

came and ordered an ambulance to carry
the President to the White House. A
spectator thus described the
Removal OF the President 10 the White

The President lay III an ambulance

arm thrown over his head. Ills face
WAS ashy white, and bore i calm, placid
look. lie seemed perfectly conscious,
and opened his eyes frequently TO view
the surroundings. While he was being
carried up stairs he smiled sadly ami
waved his hand in recognition Of friends

His suferlngS must have been intense,
but he gave no sign Ot 1t, and was as
gentle and submissive as child.

BosToN, Mass, July 3.-Guitteau, the
assassin, has brother in this city, who

have no moral attributes whatever and
paid no bills. His brother, he said, was
source al great trouble. TO his family,
from whom he estranged himself, and
who seemed to regard him as vicious and

The following is an extract from
letter dated March 80, 1878, from the

teau, his brother, in this city, in which
he writes referring to Gnitteau's abomi-
nable and deceitiul dealings: | have
been ready to believe him capable OF
most any folly, stupidity or rascality.
The only possible excuse can render
for him is that he is insane. Indeed, if

sible iOr his acts.
