An Opinion * Guiteaa.
WASHINGTON, June 27.-..Prof. God
ding, Superintendent Of the Govern
rneut Insane Asylum, has written the
following letter TO a gentlemen who de-
sired an opinion of Gaiteau You
are very welcome to ray opinion
of Charles J. Gu;te.u's mental
condition, though in the present state
of public sentiment it will not have
much weight. Guiteau went insane in
his. nineteenth year, and have been 30
ever since, though there has bssn times
Of comparative mental quiesoenoe as
there has been periods Of greater excite
meat. He. was born mentally deformsd.
very keen and quick In soma directions,
but deficient in common sense. His
unnatural sgotism and salso his re-
ligious ideas. were imbibed at the times
Of the development Of his insanity at
Ann Arbor, through a part Of his educa-
ton having some of the controlling
power Of delusion. This controlling de-
fusion was in force at the time of the
assassination, 90 far a. be had any idea
Of tho political situation. Now, within
three weeks Of his final ap. earance be-
fore the public, he is not cast down, bat
Ia serene and content, and will, in my
opinion, 90 through whatever remains
for him in the same confident, not to
say triumphant manner. He cannot
understand how il is that the mon he
has made should desert him. He believes
that he saved the Republican party and
the country from civil " ar. He has not
done looking to the great American peo-
pie for redress, though his diseased eyes
watch now for executive clemency,
and az at the last they may turn away
from that they will look up with stead
fast gaze on what he will believe a mar
tyr's crown. If the legal support on
which he has relied fall away he will
still feel, or think he feels underneath
him everlasting arms going where our
indignation can not follow him. May We
hope that those arms are there, for no
DO. r wretch in all Gods universe appar-
emily needs them more. To human ap-
prehension, this creature, covered with
blasphemy, claiming to be Gods man."
paralleIing his life of sin with that of the
sunless one, stating that the ''crucitix-
ion" was no worse than his own hang
ing. Believing that is enough that the
disciple will be ~ his master, do you,
shuddering, say it il .horriblef ! say it
il insane
