GUiTEAU's PAPERS.
IT. Louis, July 10 - Mr.. Henry Edwards
OF kansas City. who has just returned from
Baltimore, was In Washington immediately
after the attempt upon the President. He
WAS met on Change to-day by reporter.
to whom he SAID: "There Is one thing which
l heard at the capital that | did moi ace in
any OF the papers. Tho rumor is al 1at there
That the papers which District Attorney
Corkhill has secured poiHt to the fact that
duileau has meditated this crime for acme
lime past, and that 1t was only immediately
bef"re The shooting that he determined upon
the pistol as the weapon to be used. | was
told by gentleman who ia an intimate
lnend OF The attorney that Guitesu had in-
tended to blow tho train up upon which the
presidential party were going into New
Jersey, out that he was unable to make his
arrangements in time 1t is intimsted. too.
that when the papers are all given out there
will be fund some startling disclosures of
Guiteau's peculiar theories in them.
Guiteau is still closely guarded, and It ia
very difficult 10 get any sort ofcommunics
ton even indirectly with him. Guiteau
complains that the prison food dssprees
with him and gives him indigestion, but
said the jailer:refuses to give any better, and
ne was getting used TO it now. He sticks to
the declaration that he was inspired to kill
the president to save the republican party,
that the president had divided the party,
and that he saw that the party never would
Dc united again under President Garfield.
Hence his inspiration was that it was
better to sacrifice the president
than The party. Guiteau says this
inspiration of the assassination first came to
him just after CoDklng and Plat resigned;
that he at once went to the white house to
shoot the president, but could not shoot
without endangeripg others, and deferred it.
Yesterday he referred to his visit to the
white house when the president had him
orcibly elected, but was quick to deny that
hat had anything to do with his attempted
His statements, however, in
'egsrd to the ejecment from tho white
house were somewhat co ficting.

Political Points.

The Inter Oceans Washington special says:
The Democrats are anxious, just now, about
David Davis. One of the Senators remarked,
recently, that he had invariably voted with
the Republicans, latterly, on all party ques-
tions, and that he should not be surprised to
see him come out fatty and go with the adj
ministration after the 4th of March. He had
been heard to say of late that he was ashamed
of the Democratic party as managed by Til
den, Barnum and Hewitt; that no respectable
gentleman could afford to identity himself in
public life with men who tried to carry Ma
tional elections by barefaced forgery and un-
disguised bribery.
The Senate Finance Committee has been
polled, and a majority has been found in fa-
vor Of long 81 per cents. and 5000, 0O0, 900
short time bonds.
Blaine is in fine health, although his hair
and beard are whittier than last year, and his
face has more and deeper lines, but be spoke
with his old vivor and grace.
The Tribune says the election of a Demo-
crat from Tennessee ties the two parties in
the new Senate. Davis and Malone stand
aloof as Independents. In case Davis votes
with the Democrats, as he has been in the
habit of doing, and Malone with the Repub-
licans, as he is expected to do, Vice President
Arthur will have the casting vote.
The President nominated G.. FL. Foster, q
strong anti onkling man, for United States
District Attorney; vic Gen. Woodford. He
refused, in the caucus, to vote to make Plat s
nomination for Senator unanimous.
The river press. [volume] (Fort Benton, Mont.) 1880-current, 1881-02-09

says: An accident occurred near here, on
Tuesday evening. Before the storm COM
menced q miner named Herald, and a lady,
name unknown, started to go to the Monte
Christie mine, q distance OF three miles. The
storm caught them and they both persisted.
The body Of the man was found yesterday,
but the woman has not been found yet. When
the news of their loss reached the mine, q
young man named Robinson started down
the mountain on snow shoes to give the alarm
and get help, and on his return trip was
caught in a snow slide and buried. About
sixty men have been hunting for the lost
bodies, but up to this time they have not
found either of them.

OUR eolons Of the Montana Legislature,
ii passing the bill for reducing the rate
OF interest on county warrants, seem to
have forgotten the interests Of their con
stituents, and to consider only those Of the
banks and the money lending class. # it was
their intention to depress county securities to
a point of instability, except at ruinous dis
count, and to defect the money which would
seek investment in them into the banks, to be
loaned at a cent and q half per month, they
have acted wisely. If they are acting with
the belief that their constituents will be bene-
fitted, they had better adjourn at once.

The Beers have proved themselves equal
to their emergency by winning the first blood.
They had taken a position in the Drakenberg
pass, from whence 1t was proposed by Gen.
Colly commander Of the British forces, TO
dislodge them. A desperate encounter en-
sued, which resulted in q repulse OF the Brit
ish column, which suffered the loss OF its best
officers, and 181 men, . percentage OF nearly
90 per cent, which is exceedingly heavy. The
loss at the battle of Gravelotte was 81 per
cent, and it may be imagined from this hat
the encounter was desperate. 1t can hardly
be hoped that the Beers con gain their cause,
for though brave, they are few IN number
and unable to sustain the force which England
can bring to bear against them. They may
however, ally themselves against some OF the
native tribes, if they can cause them TO Tor

SENATOR DAVIS may be counted on, SO say
the political wiseacres, to vote with the mod
crate Republicans. His heavy weight has
proved more than the fence he has been rest
ing on for so long could stand, and it has
fallen, and carried him with it into the ranks
OF the victors. Later advices state that lie
has been offered the Craftsmanship Of the Ju-
dietary Committee by the Dems if they organ
ize the Senate.
