The Si.u says: Reed, GIiteap :
council, called at the Department OF
Justice this morning, but the Attorney
General referred him to the Di,tricl
attorney, and declined to grant him
hearing last night. Gulteau slept
like top last night, aud when he
arose this morning he was as cheer
full as could be, humminS and whist
ling snatches of hymns, though now
and then indulSing in music of a
more worldly nature. After break
fast Guiteau turned his attention to
the Bible, and read number Of PAS
sages Of Scripture. To the guard,
he said he was prepared to go, and
would just as leave be hung to-day
as to wait till Friday. At this time
news of the adverse decision on his
petition for respite had not reached
Jail, but he did not seem to he IN any
way interested in the result. DR..
Hicks called about IL, remaining an
hour. He informed Guiteau of the
result of efforts in his behalf. This
announcement did not seem to have
depressing effect on him, and he
talked as cheerfully as ever. He ex-
pressed some feeling because the
President had referred the subject
of his respite to the Attorney Gener-
al, saying the President should have
taken the responsibility upon him
self; that the 1.-THE prisoner had mol
appealed to he Cabinet, but to the
President, and as his act had made
him such, it was the least the Presi-
dent could do to respite him for a
short time-till the case could be
heard in the Supreme Court of the
United States. He then repeated
that he was Gods man, and III God s
hands, and asked DR.. Hicks to be at
his side when he was banged, saying
that he would die for his inspiration
feeling that God would justify him
in the other world. He had Low
no personal interest in the matter
but he felt for the nation, which
would suffer in the event of his be.
ing banged, and he now fully ex-
poets to be hung. DR.. Hicks and
prisoner engaged in religious con-
versation for some time, and before
parting arrangements were made by
which DIR. Hicks would spend some
hours with him daily, including to-
morrow.
