A VISIT TO THE JAIL,
Guiteau's Statement OF What Induced Hlis
Awful Crime.

Mr. Samuel MillilScn, chief clerk of the
Department OF Justice, visited the District
Jail last Monday afternoon and exchanged
few words with the assassin Guiteau
in his cell. Guiteau is In robust health
has voracious appetite, eats about u pound Of
meat and two pounds Of bread at a meal, and
washes down the food with qnart or three pints
of coffee. From Warden Crocker II was learned that
Guiteau became obstrepcrous when It was proposed
to remove him from the cell in which he was when
shot at by Sergeant Mason and II was found nee
essay to main force to transfer him to the cell
in which he now is, namely, one on the opposite
side Of the Jail aud backing up to or adjoining his
former cell. Since then he has been sullen and
has kept low" in the darkest part of his cell.
Guiteau has made known his cause for the cat-like
vndlctiveness which possessed him and impellcd
him to make the murderous attack upon President
Garfield Hcexplains that he was grossly insulted by
the President. These are in substance the circum-
stances: lie (Guteau) sneaked into the Presidents
Office at the White House one day at time while
several members of the Cabinet and one OF two
other gentlemen were there, and, being an UNI
hidden and unwelcome visitor, he was elected
from the room by order of the President. This
treatment, Guiteau says, ranked in his breast
and boiled his blood "The President had no
right to insult me In that way" While being
elected he resolved upon revenge and the inac-
ton of some serious bodily Injury on the Presi.

THE PERSON OF THE assassin.
Consultation Between the Solicitor. Gen.
cr,l mud the District Attorney.

Acknowledgement MacVeagh yesterday
morning telegraphed to Solicitor General Phillips
to consult with the District Attorney for the Dis
trct of Columbia as to whether II would be neces.
sary that an inquest should be held upon the body
of President Garfield in order TO enable the grand
jury of the District to bring indictment against
0uiteau. A consultation was Immediately held
between the Solicitor General and Dis
trict Attorney Corkhill. and, as re-
suit Of this consultation, telegram
was sent to the Attorney General, informing him
that though it was not necessary that such an in
quest,should be held. 1t might be well 10 have II
done. It Is the opinion Of the District Attorney
and his assistant that under the laws of the Dis
trict Guiteau cannot be tried for murder here but
that the greatest punishment that can be melted
out TO him is such punishment rs is incidental TO
a simple case OF assault and battery. In case such
a conclusion shall be definitely arrived at
II may become puzIlihg question as TO how the
State of New Jersey can obtain Jurisdiction over
the person OF the assassin In the opinion OF some
lawyers, he can only DO brought within the inris-
dctlon Of the laws of that State by means Of the
extradtion laws, and, they simply refer 10 fud.
tyes from justice, unless some legal technically
eau construe Guiteau 20 come under that category
IL Is difficult matter 70 see In what manner tile
State of New Jersey can obtain jurisdiction.

At irregular meeting of George G. Meade
Post No. 8, G. A. r., the following tribute to the
memory Of General James A. Garfield was offered
and adopted by rising vote:
With feelings of sorrow too deep for utterance
the comrades of George @. Meade Post, No. s, De-
partment OF the Potomac g. A. X. note the death
Of our distinguished brother and comrade, Gen
eral james A. Garfield President of the United
States. Words are feeble mediums of thought and
feeling IN the presence Of such an overwhelm-
pure q man, so distinguished n scholar, so con-
scientious patriot, so valiant soldier, so faithful
a citizen, and so beloved a Chief Magistrate. In

of his greatness, the country looses an honored
citizen and wise ruler, who In the performance
Of all his public services to our country has ex-
hibted the highest order of statesinanship
by his wisdom, courage, and faithfulness.
We have witnessed his heroic struggle for that
tone chance" for life during these memorable
weeks inst past with the most affectionate and
his faithful and beloved wife at the bedside OF our
suffering comrade during all these days aud weeks
of WEAKNESS and watching has endcared her and
her now fatherless children TO our warmcst sympa.
thies. May God. who notes the widows tears and
hears the Orphans cry, SO minister TO these dear
bcreaved ones of His heavenly comfort that they
may be able to bear through life this sad beresve-
ment with that heroic courage, that calm ortitude
and that patient resignation that so preeIninenuy
characterized the husband aud father, now gone to
his eternal reward. The viruo,s, Christian life of
General James A Garfield and his noble record on
the pages ofOur countrys history will inspire the
in the memories OF oil the living while time shall
