If he fails in securing an election to Congress
by the very system of suffrage which he essays
to condemn, he can lay more imperative
claim for an executive appointment as a re-

GUlTEAU TO HANG.
The result of the special meeting Of the
Cabinet last Friday evening to consider the
case of Guiteau, was made officially known
on Saturday morning by statement from
the attorney-general, that the plea for re-
spite had been refused. This conclusion was
reached on Friday evening, but was with
held from the public in order that it might
first be made known to the prisoner. The
attorney general, to whom all appeals and
petitions presented to the President bearing
on this case had been referred, submitted an
elaborate report to the Cabinet, reviewing all
the points presented in favor of a respite, and
recommended that it be not granted, OH the
ground that the sanity OF the prisoner had
been fully established at the trial. The
report was generally discussed and unani-
mously approved by the Cabinet, all the men,
bers of which were present. An understand
ing was reached as above stated.
The Rev. w. w. Hicks called on the Pres-
dent and attorney-general Friday evening to
learn the result of the meeting, but WAS in
formed that nothing cosld be divulged on the
subject till the next morning. Similar efforts
on the part OF Mr.. Reed, Guiteau's counsel
were also frutless. The Rev. Mr.. Hicks call
ed upon the encouragement Saturday morn
ing, by appointment, and was informed that
the Cabinet had decided not to interfere with
the execution of Guiteau's sentence. Mr..
Hicks thereupon drove to the district Jail and
informed Guiteau of the decision.
Guiteau has sent the following message to
his spiritual adviser, Rev. Mr.. Hicks: "Go
and see Arthur and shake your fist in his face.
Tell him made him President by my inspira-
tion and he must give me an unconditional par
don, and if he does not God Almighty will blast
him forever. l tell you, brother Hicks, l am
Gods man, and God takes care of his own"
Letters have been received by Mr.. Chas. II.
Reed and others interested in Guiteau's case
from Geo. Scoville, who is now in Chicago.
In these letters Scoville announces that his
wife has left Cleveland for the East and he
expresses grave apprehensions as to her sanity.
He fears that she contemplates attempting to
kill her child and commit suicide on the day
of Guiteau's execution. Scoville earnestly
urges her friends in the East to keep a close
watch upon her movements
The attorney general has issued instructions
to the marshals of the district and wardens of
the jail to keep Guiteau in strict confinement
till the day set for his execution, and to allow
no one except his spiritual adviser, his phy.
sician and the officers of the jail to communi.
cate with the prisoner.
Guiteau's death warrant was signed by Clerk
Meigs, of the Criminal Court, Monday morn
ing. The seal of the court was attached, and
the document was Immediately forwarded to
Warden Crocker at the District Jail. 1t will
