Letter from Washington

Il THE EDlTOH Ot THE hEtSTER.
William Jones, the man. who attemp-
ted to shoot Guiteau while en- route to
the Jail from the court room, is well
to do farmer living some five miles
from the city boundary. Some of the
finest fruit seen in this market comes
from his farm. 1t is stated that he has
rosebush of choice variety from
which he has realized in a single sea-
son one thousand dollars. AT an early
hour Monday morning he was
brought before the police court and
committed for hearing, bail being
fixed at $4,000. He will no doubt be
procure 100000 bail If necessary
Money for his defense is being freely
offered. Jones is said to be ordinarily
a quiet and peaceable citizen and good
neighbor, but at times will drink to
such an extent as to become somewhat
wild and unmanageable. He is q
splendid horseman. While fleeing
from his pursurers, Saturday, he threw
himself over ON the side of his flying
steed in true Indian style, thus perhaps
escaping the bullets sent after him,
The general community deprecate this
attempt upon Guiteau's life and prefer,
now that the trial is begun, to let the
law take its course, yet l have heard
many say that as long as Jones did
shoot 1t was pity that his pistol was
not aimed little differently.
The assassin's conduct during his
trial thus far has greatly aggravated
public indignation. Tie general opin
ion is that he ought to be very thank.
full at having lived so long, and being
allowed trial at all; yet he, instead Of
appearing to realize that any forbear'
ance has been shown, has been inso.
lent and arrogant from the first, and
apparently considers himself very at
tractive object under special protection
of the Deity. 1t is very evident tha
his conduct in the court room has haG
much to do with the present inf1ameC
public sentiment, as his appearance
each day is the signal for increased
hooting and jeering. 1t is estimated
that there were yesterday at least five
thousand people around the City Hall
not more than Cne-tenth of whom
could gain admittance. The softer sex
form very large proportion of the at
tendance. The room is not open unit
near ten o'clock, yet long before eight
many ladies may be seen armed witt
lunch baskets and knitting work pre-
pared for days campaign, and / re
greet to say that many of the fair ones
are turned away, as none of the genera
public is now admitted without an off
cial pass. The duration of the trial il
estimated any where from three weeks
to three months. Some are already
predicting disagreement of the jury.
The Baltimore and Potomac Raj
Road Company has had large meta
star fixed in the floor where the presi
dents head lay as he fell before the as.
sassin's shot. IL is eagerly inquired
after by the multitude of strangers
now arriving.
The hotels are doing rushing bust
ness. Congressman, candidates, lobby.
lists and thousands of others are con
stantly arriving.
Society people predict an unusually
gay winter.
President Arthur will occupy the
White House in few days.

w The forty-seventh Congress meets
on Monday next. There seems to be
little public interest felt as compared
With that manifested in some previous
meetings of Congress. The speaker
ship will absorb some lively attention.
a. there are several prominent candi-
dates, among whom are Hiscock OF
New York, Reed of Maine, Kasson OF
Iowa, and Keller of Ohio. The votes
Of two new readiuster congressman
nom Virginia will be watched eagerly.
There are important questions to come
up for action, among them reform IN
national taxation, the retirement OF the
continued skies and fives, a national
bankrupt law, reduction of postage,
and the everlasting civil service reform
They give the country enough to think
Of, and the Legislators something to
