WASHINGTON. July H. - Colonel
COrkhill continues to receive a mis-
cellaneous assortment of postal cards
and letters sent to the assassin
Guiteau. Most of the communications
come from the West. One letter came
to-day from Chicago, written poorly
both as to penmanship and orthogra-
ply. The writer addresses Guiteau
as VILLAIN" and then proceeds to as
sure him that there are $500 people in
that city who have determined that
he shall die no matter whether he is
insane or not. They propose that he
shall be executed as soon as he makes
his appearance in public by being
drawn joint from joint, till he has been
divided into 10000 bits. The blood
thirsty writer signs himself, Yours,
Vengenlous
Some write in an unintelligible ci-
pher that has no meaning whatever,
others write protesting to be criminals
themselves, and commisserate his
trouble. One man says: You know
how weused to shove the queer, I,and
processes to rocognize (tuiteau as an
accomplished counterfeiter. Most Of
these people, however, who manifest
this scriptomania adopt the denunci-
atory style. and threaten violence to
the prisoner if they get a chance at
him. On the other hand, some inquire
what could have moved him to such
dastardly act, and a few attempt 10

Colonel Corkhill, the District At
torney, said to day: He shows no
trace of insanity. He is just as sane
as anybody
1T has been proposed that he be
called insane and put in an insane
asylum where he can be cared for for
life, suggested a gentleman present
The District Attorney looked with
ill-favor upon the proposition, and
replied: do you know how long an

the Presidents life, he could not be
held to be dangerous lunatic, and
could procure his release in a short
time through writ of habeas corpus
No, | do not think that practical
scheme. We had much better try to
send him to the penitentiary for six
teen years on account of the firing Of
two shots, although that may not be
possible. You will soon find, however,
that the passion of the public will be
allayed, aud they will demand that
this man be dealt with according to
his rights, according to the Constitu-
ton. The officers of the law always
have to deal severely with the prison
er, or appear to at first, while the peo-
pie are excited, but eventually the
law prevails and must take its course
don't think, therefore, that it will do
to-day to declare the man insane when
he is not.

A ST. Louis man writes to Secreta-
ry Blaine that he will not be satisfied
with the incarceration of Guitesu in
an asylum for term Of years, aud he
avows "hy all that is holy" that 'he
will settle with him himself, and
wants it remembered.
Guitean's career is at an end. He
may live long time, but it will be
within heavy walls. Turned loose, he
would not live a week. There are
people in almost every community who
regard him as an enemy to his race,
and would kill him on opportunity
with as little eompunction as they
would snake found in a child's era
die. He is regarded as a monster in
human form, without one redeeming
attribute. This may be called a spe
cies Of insanity iu the people, but
there is a great deal of it around, and
it is, if not justifable, far more exeus
able than the act of the would be-
assassin. The greatest punishment
that could be inflicted upon him would
be to let him know of the execration
in which he is held by mankind, and
then Danish him from the haunts Of
men to some lonely Dry Tortugas
where he would be compelled to
work and live as long as possible.
He is a shrewd, hardened wretch, and
we'll knows his danger. He not would
accept full psrlon and go out in the
open air if offered, Yet Guiteau, like
old John Brown, is an outgrowth of
an ultra class of public teachers who
approve of almost any means to attain
their ends. He alone is doubtless re.
sponsible for the attempt upon the
Presidents life, although the act wa,
a logical sequence of the violent views
proclaimed by the extreme men of hi,
party.

Special to Cincinnati Commercial.l
ATLANTA, Ga, July ll.-Notwith-
standing warnings implying threats of
assassination, your correspondent fur
nishes the most interesting sad case of
a remarkably brilliant young girl who
now languishes friendless in jail ia
default of a $500 bond to keep the
peace. She was arrested on Friday
night, at the instance of James Sharpe,
young druggist at 202 Marietta
street, and taken to the stationhouse,
where she spent the night in the office.
Saturday morning she was tried be.
fore Justice Tanner on peace war
rant, without counsel, with the result
stated. The complainant alleged that
Lulu Morris, the young woman, had
threatened his life at his store on the
Friday night, jealousy being assigned
as the cause.
The fact appears to be notorious
that he was living on terms OF Illicit
intimacy with the girl, who declares
that he seduced her when she was but
fifteen years of age, and within one
month after she married the man
whose name she now bears. The re-
cent difficulty grew out of Sharpe's
attentions, honorable, it is claimed, to
highly respectable young lady, whose
name is withheld.
Lula Morris, whose maiden name
was Clinton, is the daughter OF j. II.
Clinton, who came from London Eng
land, to Cincinnati, where he lived
several years before coming to Atlanta,
where he married. Lula, the only
issue of this union, at a very early age
developed superior intelligence,
which was direoted toward literature,
and when only fifteen she wrote
sketches and poems for the local press
which brought her profuse compli-
ments. She is now twenty, and at in
tervals during the past three years
she has published serials which bore
traces of the finished novelist, with a
wonderfully fertile imagination and a
remarkable facility of expression. She
was charm in the respectable circle
in which she moved. Her more than
ordinary talent led to inquiry concern
| ing the antecedents of her father, but
nothing could be learned, as he was
always reticent as to his past, never
referring to his career in England
which has given rise to the belief that
he was moro than he appeared to be
probably descendant OF the nobility
lie entered the service Of the Con-
federacy and died during the war.
There is no record Of his life spen
in Ohio. as he was equally silent as 4
his residence there, but it is believed
that he had large interests in estates
both there and in England.

The limit to profitable railroad
building in a country with a climate
and soil where the extent of produc-
tion depends upon the amount OF la
Dor and expense bestowed may scarcely
ever be reached. The opening of one
road but leads to the necessity for an
other. The construction of an easy,
rapid, certain and economical outlet
tor produce causes towns to spring up,
and these in turn create emulation,
rivalry and intelligent ambition. Ele-
ments Of wealth are developed, the
existence of which were not before
suspected. Almost illimitable growth
may thus be expected to succeed the
enterprise now occupying the capital
and employing the energies OF the
people Of this country.
But it may be fairly assumed that
this expenditure of money and labor
on tho plains and in the Territories
and States OF the Rocky Mountains
will not 60 on increasing in the future
as in the past ten years. The natural
weslth there, the possible growth OF
prrduots in that direction, is surely
limited. At all events nature has
erected barriers to production that

THE INJUNCTION SUIT.
Comment on the Decision by a
High Credit Paper.

Nashville Banner, 1Sth.l
At the morning session of the
Chancery Court. yesterday, Judge
Merritt delivered his opinion on this
important question. 1t was generally
understood that whatever might be
the opinion of the court it would 20
thence to the highest court of the
State. Had it been different there
would have been great deal Of dis
satisfaction; but the friends of the
bill will be glad to know that it went
there with the added influence of the
approving opinion of the Chancellor.
The opinion is carefully worded, and
meets squarely all the material points
In the controversy. Had he simply
dissolved the injunction, there could
have been no appeal, and the matter
would have there rested; but in add.
tion 10 the dissolution Of the iniunc
tion, he dismissed the bill also, where
upon the complainants appealed to
the Supreme Court. The point
upon which he based his decision
was one unnoticed by the
counsel of either side. He
summed up the case in very plain
and practical manner, and in such
way that any man, even one not a
lawyer, can understand it. We cannot
tell how it was with others, but the
impression produced on our mind was
IN the reverse Of his decision. Almost
every point raised he gave in favor Of
the complainants until the last but
most vital point was reached, when it
passed to the credit of the defendant.
I'VE are not sufficiently yersed in legal
lnre but if one point assumed to be

end aud the complainants may safely
Ahut their briefs and allow it to pro
teet itself. The position we allude to
