Among his numerous wives, in ad-
dition to the four already mentioned
(the two New York girls the New
Haven lady and his latest victim in
Richmond.) was the young lady at
Lakewood. n. j., whom he married
on July 10th, only four days before
his marriage to the Richmond lady.
A stated in the Herald Of the 4th
inst, the adventurer at that time
called himself Albert p. Marvin, and
claimed to be an attache Of the United
States legation at Paris. He deserted
his victim in Washington, after OBJ
tanning money from her father, q
clergyman. His hasty departures
from Richmond were owing to the
necessity Of his keeping this wife from
suspecting his plans while he was ar
ranging to marry Miss Turpin.
About two years ago he married q
lady in Carthage. Mo-, and deserted
her in a week. He then appears to
have visited Philadelphia, where he
was united to another-the seventh

former governess Of this state. whom
he quickly abandoned. Mrs. Nellie
De Hart, . young widow, WAS his
ninth bride, and two others are known
to exist-0ne recently married in

Yesterday morning Marvin was
taken into custody 1t Lynn, Mas,
where he was traced by skilled de-
tective work. He Was living OBJ

Massachusetts,. This was mailed
yesterday. 1t will arrive in Boston
tomorrow. where Robert Pinkerton
will be awaiting it, and the prisoner
will be taken at once to Richmond.
The feeling Of indignation in that city

THE MAID.

Oh! she was maid of laughing eye.
And she lived in a garret Gold and high,
And he was threadhare, whiskered beau.
And he lived in q cellar damp and low.
But the rosey boy of the chcrub wing
Hath mauy a shaft in his tender string.
And the youth below and the maid above
Were tCut he'd with the aashing darts of love.
And she would wake from her troubled sleep,
Der his tender billet doug to weep;
Or stand like a statute cold and fair.
And ga.ed on lock Of his bright red hair.
And he who was late 20 tall and proud.
With his step so firm and his laugh SO loud,
His beard grew long. and his face grew thin.
Aud he pined in solitude over his gin.
But one soft night in the month Of June,
As she lay in the light Of a cloudlcss moon,
A voice came floating soft and clear,
To the startled maiden's st'ning ear.
Oh! then from her crcaking couch she sprung
aud her tangled tresses back she flung.
She looked from her window far below.
And he stood forth, her whiskered bean.
But she did not pout, with foolish frown.
But packet her trunk and hurried down,
And there was her lover. tall and true.
In his threadbare coat Of frightened blue.
The star tn at rose in the evening shade,
Looked sadly down on the weeping maid;
The sun that came in his morning pride
Shed golden light on a laughing bride

There is prisoner in the city Jail who
is charged with the murder of the late
President. The fact of the shooting and
of the mortal character of the wound
will probably be proven without any at
tempt at controversy. The jurisdiction
will undoubtedly be undisputed, or if
disputed, sustained. There win he an
effort to prove insanity. This evidence
and arguments being heard, the jury will
decide upon the case. 1t is great
honor to the people that through
out the excitement of the past three
months there has been thorough respect
for order. The shallow frothings of few
have not disturbed the great deep OF
American reverence for law. On Mon
day anindictment will doubtless be found

DIR. Hayes, of Clifton street, was this
morning summoned TO attend j. f. Mylecraine,
who had attempted TO kill himself while suffering
from delirium, the result Of u long md continuous

street. and is painter and frcscocr by occupation.
He is about torty-two years of age is single, and
for n long time pnst has been grossly Incorporate.
His continued drinking had brought on severe
attack Of mania q pofit. and this morning he Ia
bored under the hallucinntion that he was Gui-
tcau, the murderer of the late President. AS he
hud concluded that ho could not be hanged, but
was anxious that justice should not be defrauded
OF her due, he decided to take the matter into his
own hands. So, having brought his razor to a fine
edge he sNshed into his neck twice on each side,
making cash two inches long In each instance.

A lady well known for her works OF
pety and charity called at the Sun Office yesterday
for the purpose of expressing hergriefand surprise
that at none of the churches and by none of the
clergy had proper and fervent prayer been offered
for the salvation OF Guiteaus soul. Itappears that
several preachers have refused to make public
supplicaiion in his behalf, and some of them have
used language leading to the opinion that they
desire his damuation. 1t was on this account
and from her deep anxiety over Gultcaus soul
that this pions lady visited the S Office, with the
desire of having her views presented to the pub
lie. she holds that the principles and preccpts
of Christianity require all true Christians
TO strive earnestly with the Almighty for Guiteau's
salvation from hell and preparation for heaven
that Christians are expressly commended to pray
for their enemies; and that tho Founder OF Chris
tianity himself in the moment of sacrifcial agony
prayed for the forgiveness of His murdcrers. The
pious lady who yesterday visited the Sun Office
this peculiar mission says that she herself prayi
several times a day for the salvation OF Guiteau's
soul and that, not satisfied with mere prayer she
also sings about the lost sheep In Sankey's song o
the Ninety and Nine.' We shall soon see what
the clergy have TO say about this pious lAdy's no.
tion, and what the devout believers in Christianity
mean to do about it.-Ne,O FORK Sun.

IpuIatiOn Of The National Capital, 100000.
A Now Words.

THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN is the lead
ing stawart Republican journal in the
country.
Its views are expressed with the en-
phasis of earnest conviction as to the
best interests of the whole people.
1t believes the present Administration
will, by its comprehensive policy, unite
the Republican party into solid pha-
lanx for the promotion of the welfare of
the entire country, and by the force of
united action will break down the ranks
oftho old Bourbon party and infuse the
broad, catholic, and progressive spirit of
Stalwart Republicansm throughout all
sections Of the Republic, which is so es-
Genital Tor the liberty and advancement
of the people.
The unprecedented increase in the cir
culation of the Stalwart NATIONAL RE-
PUBLICAN is most gratifying encourage
ment Of the efforts of the management
TO make The REPUBLICAN the liveliest,
brightest, and best newspaper ever pub
lished at the National Capital. From all
sections of the country subscriptions are
dailycoming in to an extent far exceeding
sour previous anticipations, and the in
crease Of our carrier-lists in the District
is still more marked.
The approaching session Of the Senate
ardsthe consideration and discussion of
important questions likely to arise will
undoubtedly attract many people to
the Capital. The Yorktown Centennial
will gather thousands of visitors from
oil parts of the country; the
exhibition of the National Fair Associa-
ton, the Baltimore Oriole, and the at
fractions of the projected Yorktown en-
tertainment will keep our city lively.
THE REPUBLICAN, with an increased staff
will furnish elaborate descriptions and
detailed reports of proceedings, scenes,
and incidents.
These events will fill Washington
with crowds of visitors, and the busi-
ness of our tradesmen, bankers,
brokers, agents, artisans, hotels, board
ing-houses, and restaurants, which
has been dormant during long,
hot summer will revive into full proper
tions, and the Washington busy season
thus inaugurated will continue through
long session of Congress, extending
probably into the summer months of
next year. To reach the attention of the
residents, sojourners, and visitors who
will crowd the Capital City during eight
or nine months the columns of THE RE-
PUBLICAN present the best medium, and
our advertising patrons will consult their
own interests by availing themselves of
our widely-circulated journal through
which to attract the attention of the
public to their business, goods, wares,
and wants.
