Guiteau and Garfield.

NEW YORK, March 6.-Charles H.

the committee in Washington, which
conveys the impression that the Star

the cause of the shooting Of tho late
President Garfield. He continued: II
am therefore willing to have published
for the first time some conversations
which occurred between Guiteau and my
self while l acted as his attorney. On
several occasions, when alone with
Guiteau, l asked him if he had any
acconplice or if any person knew that

He always announced in the most EN-.
phatic manner, No, no one but God and
me knew anything about it, On the
day before he was executed, when saw

made with the Louisville & Nashville
Railroad Company to complete the build

Senator Hampton isreported as saying
that Senator Bayard, if nominated for
President by the Democrats, could carry
all Of the doubtful States in the coming
election. We believe he is right. SEN
ator Bayard isa splendid man, and we
think would make the best nominee
possible for the Democrats. 1t IS not
probable, however, that the Democratic
politicians will nominate him. his
nomination would be almost the equlva-
lent of victory, but then it would be q
victory on principle, and the admlnlstra. ),
ton would be conducted in the interest,"
of the whole country, and not as a ma
chine to reward his personal followers
IL is hard to nominate such man IN
these or any other times.

The sentiment favoring the renomina-
tion of the. .old ticket" of Tilden and
Hendricks is on the increasejust now, and
probabilities point more strongly to it
than to any other action by the Demo-
cratic Convention. Next to the nomi-
nation of Mr.. Bayard we think this
would be the best policy the party can
pursue, and would give reasonable as
surance of victory in the coming election.
The old ticket would carry every South
ern State, with New Jersey, Connecticut,
Delaware, Indiana and New York reason
ably safe, and would stand good pros
pect of carrying Ohio, with Pennsylva-
MIA and Illinois close in fight. This
nomination would arouse sense of JUS
tice in the mind of the American people,
and the enthusiasm which the determi-
nation to right the wrongs of 1876 would
create, would, we believe, be akin to the
political tempest which swept the country
in 1S4O. Itwould have the confidence Of
the business men of the United States,
and would raise larger campaign fund
than any ticket the party can name.
Owing to Mr.. Tilden's age we do not be.
lieye the administration would equal one
over which Mr.. Bayard would preside,
but there is no doubt it would be wise,
cautions, economical and efficient. Mr..
Tilden's administration as Governor of
New York guarantees that. The selec-
tion of this ticket would unite all fac
tions of the Democratic party, and still
the storm which the extreme tariff revis.
ionists are trying to raise, and which
will, in our judgment, sink the Demo
cratic party if it is not harmonized. The
tariff revision is au issue which ought to
win, and which will eventually win, but
it will not be until after the Republican
party has been beaten upon other issues,
or until political parties are reformed
upon different lines. 1t has now been
twenty-four years since the Democrats
have had President, and another defeat
will in all probability disband the party,
as the old whig party was disbanded, by
constant defeats. No party can survive
quarter of q century of disaster, and
we fear that failure to elect the Presi-
dent this year mag seriously disintegrate
the South. 1t is better policy, therefore,
to leave out all matters which will seri.
ously divide democrats, and make the
coming canvass to win. After we get
possession Of the government We can
discuss the important questions of gov
ernment, about which there are differ
ences, to better advantage. For these
reasons we favor a canvass to carry the
Eastern States, which gives promise of
success, rather than hopeless, though
plucky, fight for the West.

OFFICIAL LCKEWARN1NEsS.
These are the details of the crime, az
far as l have been able to gather them
AS to Cash's subsequent movement.
nothing can be learned, except by report
1t is conceded here that he might have
been arrested if prompt measures hnd
been taken at the outset by the sheriff
There are q good many rumors out con.
cerning the sheriff, Mr.. Spof1ord. Peo
pie seem here to admit very readily thai
he is brave mana very brave man
but the admission is accompanied by an
intangible and indescribable qualification
best expressed in type by the word but
followed by dash. 1t is intimate
that Col. Cash is one of the sureties on
bis official bond, and that this may ac-
count for his reluctance to proceed to
extremities. While I meet on every side
the assurance that the sheriff could easi-
ly organize a posse in tie village of Che
raw, | gather at the same time the I'M
preston that the posse will never be
formed, and that Began Cash will never
be arrested by the local authorities here.
The real fact Of the matter is that the
people up here are, to a certain extent,
demoralized, and the decentralization is
bound to continue and eventually to end
in terrorism or lynching unless something
is done to vindicate the authority of the
State. Cash might end the difficulty by
giving himself up, but up to this time it
has not suited his pleasure to do so. He
might have ended the matter by leaving
the State, for he has had abundant time
to do 80, but scarcely think that he will
attempt this now that price has been
set upon his head. am told that reared
as he has been in tile lap of rude luxury

Columbia reached here, and thirteen
quiet, but determined looking, men
stepped out on the platform, bringing
with them an oblong box, which the few
loterers around the depot took to be a
casket. These men were special posse
from Columbia appointed to arrest the
Cashes. They were under command of
Capt. Richbourg, who was met here by
Sheriff Cole, Of Darlington County,
and we're accompanied by Solicitor New
ton who had gone to Columbia via Lanes
and Sumter. In the meantime loeomo.
tive had been gotten in readiness and
attached 10 passenger coach ready for
the posse. All the arrangements had
been perfected 80 quietly that outside the
railroad aud telegraph officials no one
here knew what was on the tapis. The
Columbia correspondent of The New,
and Courier accompanied the posse, hav.
ing boarded the train at Columbia, and
the details of the expedition will be re-
lated by him. The wires here were put
into rcquisi!ion about 10 o'clock this
morning, and news was received of the
capture of the elder Cash. Very few
people knew any of the details, although
it was suspected that something was up,
the report of the departure of the spe-
cial train having been circulated.
On the arrival of the train from
Charleston the depot was crowded and
the demand for The Sunday Ne'cs was
so large that the newsboys had sold out
their supply and collected the money for
their papers before they arrived.
The Cashes had evidently the most
perfect arrangements for getting the news
of any movement directed against them.
They had an expert operator at Cash's
Depot who tapped the wires and read all
the messages sent to and from Cheraw.
The wire was not broken, but was low
cred in the swamp near Bogan's hiding
place and the messages intercepted with
out breaking the circuit. knowledge of
this having been conveyed to Columbia
the base of the campaign WAS changed
and established at Florence. The Cashes,
therefore, had no intimation of the
movement of the State posse, and hence
the capture of the elder Cash. Began
Cash must either have slept away from
his usual hiding place, or have received
warning early this morning of the pres

One of the noticeable features of Ameri
can railway stations is the utter absence OF
anything like architectural taste in the
buildings They are all built with view
to secure economy and are as a rule as un-
interesting as any pile of lumber or ordin.
airy shed. In the east, on the older and
richer lines of road, il is not uncommon "a
see exceptions; but in the west really
pretty railway station house is rare treat.
The traveller hears the. towns name called,
and looks out TO see, duly labeled, Il long
narrow, squatty building, with the tradi-
tional dirty brown paint; and out houses as
the most conspicuous objects in the sur.
roundings,-in every respect like hundreds
of others we may see in a few days run, Ii
is therefore with no small relief that his eye
strikes a building like the ne ? station.
houses on the c., B. X O. at Galesburg,
Burlington or Des Moines. In neitherC city
is there any opportunity for pleasing sur,
roundingS in the way of shrubbery or land
scape gardening; but the buildings and the
many comforts they contain, as well as their
architectural beauty are very attractive to
the weary eye, They are of rich brown
pressed brick and terra Gotta, two stories
high in the newer architectural styles, max
ing pleasing exterior. The interiors are
even more pleasing, being fitted up with Il
view of making the traveller as comfortable
as possible while waiting, and have every
comfort of dining rooms, smoking rooms,
large roomy waiting rooms with comforts
Bile lounges, so rare in railroad waiting
rooms, layatories, &c, &c. And what is
more they are clean, and one enters them
feeling that his skin is not to be poisoned
for doing so. As these are among the chief
stopping places Of through trains, when
changes of cars are made, and when
through passengers get out for an airing
the comfort and relief OF reaching either
of them can be better appreciated by the
traveller than told by words.
