A Plot to Assassinate Arthur.
WASHINGTON, September $50. M.
Bagley, who is employed in the Army
Medical Museum, has created something OF
a sensation in police and official circles by
filing a sworn statement with the Chief of
Police that he had overheard a plot to as
sassinate President Arthur. Bagley's afi-
davit is in effect, that about midnight last
Monday, while lying on his bed, which
was in q lower front room, fronting on
Missouri avenue, he heard two men talking
OF assassinating Arthur. Bagiey states
that the window blinds were closed and the
two men were leaning against a tree box
Immediately in front of his room; that one
of the men said it would happen in one
month; that he referring to some man
whose name was not mentioned) had sworn
to kill Arthur within that time, and that
the man who had thus sworn was a Gar
field Republican. Bagley said he was so
much agitated that he did not know what
to do; that the next day he informed the
chief clerk of his division of what he had
heard, and he advised Bagley to report the
facts to the lopice.
NcVeaEh's Reasons for Resisning.
WASHINGTON. September 2S.-General
McVeagh states this evening that he re-
cognized to the fullest the propriety Of Ar
thur selecting as his confidential advisers
gentlemen who had heretofore sustained re-
lations not only of personal good will, but
also of political sympathy with him. In.
deed he did not think any administration
could be strong, if there was any ground
for suspicion or distrust among its mem
bers. As soon, therefore, as Arthur had
taken the oath of Office McVeagh said he
had rendered his resignation in writing.
He also assured the President that his res
ignation was not a form but a fact, and he
hoped it wonld be convenient to designate
his successor by the time the Senate met in
special session. McVeagh added that on
special grounds he felt no difficulty in pnr-
suing the course his feelings dictated. The
only political work to which he attached
any Importance now was the work of ad-
ministrative reform, including, of course,
the exposure and relentless pursuit of all
~plunderers of the public Treasury. If
Arthur engages heartily and thoroughly in
that good work, as he hoped and believed
he would, then he was entitled to the credit
of doing it with an Attorney General of
his own selection, and not with one inner.
tied from President Garfield.
Arrangements for Securing an In.
dfctment Against Guiteau.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 2S.-The District
Attorney has taken the last steps in the
preliminary arrangements for securing an
indictment against Guiteau, by issuing
subp9nas for the Government. All the
witnesses are directed to be in attendance
at the re- Resembling of the Grand Jury
in the Criminal Courtroom on Monday
next, when the case will be presented to
the Grand Jury. No answer has yet been
received by the District Attorney from
George M. Scoville, Guiteau's brother-in-
law, who was requested by the prisoner to
appear as his counsel. Guiteau says he is
not afraid of the law, for that will protect
him and prevent his being hanged. He is
reported as feeling somewhat disappointed
at not receiving a prompt reply from Sco-
vile.
Guiteau's Life Saved by Sergeant
MasOn's Precipitancy.
New YORK, Sept. 28.-A Herald's Wash
ington special defails-a conspiracy to kill
Guiteau which existed among the soldiers,
and which was prevented by Sergeant
Mason's precipitancy. The plan was, says
the soldier who is my authority: Some
morning or evening, when we were to be
relieved from guard duty, for the whole
party to march as near the Jail as we could
get, and then go through some kind Of a
drill, so as to attract the attention Of
Guiteau to US. We were to go through
the form of loading and unloading several
times, and then on a signal the whole par
ty were to let go at Guiteau. The whole
crowd firing together, we would be equal
ly guilty, and none of us would aver know
who fired the ball that tool effect. Mason
heard OF it in some way, and so as to steal
the credit from US fred at'him alone.
