/" What Will 1 Do when That Man
is Brought Before Me for Par
don ?.
WASHINGTON, July 15.-The President
said yesterday to one of the attending ply
%sicians, speaking of Guiteau, after think
ing deeply for a time doctor, / wonder
what I will do when that man is brought
before me for pardon? ?" The doctor re-
piled, "I don't think there will be any
question of pardon at all, Mr.. President.
Such a person as he ought to be kept
within the security Of very strong walls,
l think" Then after an interval of thought
the President answered, ST guess so, Doc
tor" General Swan says, "We try to
keep h President quiet, but sometimes
he gets ahead Of us. He condenses his
sentences wonderfully occasionally into
two or three words, SD he gets through be-
fore we can even caution him against talk
ing. Once, when he had condensed some
sentences into a couple of words, and we
began to tell him he must not talk, he
said banteringly, why, l got through
long ago. He is the most wonderful pa
tlent l have ever seen or heard Of. You
can imagine how fretful q strong man w.
ing PROSTATE IN his back for nearly two
weeks will become, but the President pre-
serves his temper, and so far 1 have not
heard a complaining word from him, what
ever he says is cheerful, and he often
speaks in a bantering tone."
Guiteau's Hope of Marrying a Rich
Widow.
New YORK, July 15.-The Suns Mil
waukee special says: A recent Washington
dispatch to the effect that Guiteau based
his hopes of marrying q rich widow upon
the securement Of a Government appoint
ment, has caused much talk in this city.
While conducting revival meetings here
last June, Mrs. Sarah Van Colt exhibited
several letters written her by Guiteau, pre-
cedipg the act by the statement in SUBJ
stance that Guiteau was formerly an inf
del who had been converted through her
efforts, and since his conversion he was the
smartest and most influential young man
in Chicago. The letters were neatly tied
together with perfumed blue ribbons, and
were a mixture of ambiguous dissertation
upon things spiritual. Rhapsodical refer

ton, profound admiration for and mex
pressible gratitude to the lady evangelist,
who, he said, had saved him. Said one of
the ladies who was privileged to read the
letter, MRS. Van Colt expressed great
pride in showing these letters, and seemed
to highly esteem the author" The lady
says that she knows that Mrs. Van Colt
is the wealthy widow the crack Drained fell
low thought he could marry.
Guiteau Could Not Attract BIaine's
Favorable Notice.
New YORK, July 15.-The Tribune's
Washington special says: After the nomin-
alton Of Robertson, and Conkling's as
sumption Of a warlike attitude, Guiteau
wrote to Blaine an abusive letter, declaring
that he ought to be put out Of the Cabinet.
1t is also recalled that Guiteau was anxious
to be employed in Maine during the late
campaign as a stump speaker, and wrote
several letters on the subject, setting forth
his own merits. He seems not to have
met with success in any of his efforts to at
tract Blaine's favorable notice. The Sec
rotary, who will of course be an important
witness in the trial of Guiteau. refuses to
allow these letters to be published.
Better to XIII Garfield than the
Republican Party.
WASHINGTON, July 15.-Guiteau is still
closely guarded, and nobody is allowed to
see him. He complains Of indigestion
from the prison food, but can get nothing
better. He still claims that it was better
to kill Garfield than the Republican party.
TIL inspiration came upon him just after
Conkling and Platt resigned. His being
forcibly elected from the White House by
the Presidents order had nothing to do
with his murderous attempt. His state
ments regarding his election were con-
ficting enough to warrant suspicion that
the assault was further personal revenge
than anything else. He tells various
stories as to the incipiency OF his determi-
nation, placing the date at widely and

OF the Presidents condition as has been
stated. His cheerfulness is evidently
assumed, as his eyes are bloodshot.
Results OF Guiteau's shooting.
New York, July 10. - The Tribune
enumerates some Of the results OF Guiteau's
shooting, among them the following /:
Gorham has been more coarse, brutal and
INSCRIPTIONS than any other adherent OF
Conkling in assailing the President.
Whether the President lives or dies the
election OF Gorham as Secretary Of the
Senate has become impossible. Not only
the condemnation Of Gorham is needed,
but also the reconsideration Of the case of
Virginia, as presented by the nomination
of Riddleberger in the State Convention,
which Malone easily swayed. Riddle
berger Made the only Jealous opposition
to the nominations finally made, and it
was then proved that he did not fairly
represent the wishes Of the friends OF
Malone. There are other Independents
in Virginia. and in other Southern States,
whose nomination and support by tho
Republicans Of the Senate would mean
success.
No Thanksgiving In New York.
PHILADELPHIA, July IA Ledger New
York special says: Governor Cornell, 1t is
understood, takes a somewhat different view
from some of the Western Governors with
reference to the proposed day Of thanksgiv-
ing for the Presidents recovery. His propo-
sition is that, as hat recovery is still sub
ject to many changes, a day Of fasting and
PRAYER would be more in harmony with ex-
listing circumstances and the religious senti.
