Washing- Account of the Shooting;. Guitteau Probably Alone Responsible. niatne'n Account of the AfTnlr. Washington, July 2. This morn ing witnessed a scene unparallvlcd in the LiHtory of the country. The as sassination of Lincoln, coming as it did, at tho close of a long and desperate war, and at tho last expiring throe of that war was an infinitely more log ical event than this horror. A dumb horror suems to have taken poRscsxion of everybody, and few appear to real ize the present situation, much b-ns to forecast the future. A great crowd gathered almost instantly around the Baltimore and Potomac depot in which the Fresidenl was shot. A hundred different and conflicting stories of tho manner of the shooting and of ita effect spread like wild fire through the city. By common consent business was sus pended in the shops and stores as well as in the public ofliees, and the popula tion of Washington emptied itself into the streets and gathered at tho conn rs to listen to tho newest tale told of the tragedy. An account of the shodlmg given by Secretary Blaino to Judge Shellabarger this afternoon is probably as accurate as any that can be obtained; The president ond Mr. Blaino rode to the depot this morning in a carriage together. Mr. Blaine says that Presi dent Garfield was in an unusually joy ous mood and several times expressed lis keen gratification that relations be tween himself and the members of his cabinet were so harmonious, and that tho administration was an unit. When the uirriane arrived in front of the depot the president and Mr. Blaine left it and entered the ladies waiting room, through which they passed arm in arm, Mr. Blaino says that he dropped the president's arm as they wero walking through the door into the main room at which instant two shots wero fired. Mr. Blaine saw a man running and started toward him, but turned aluiot-t immediately and saw that the presi dent had fallon. It was then that 1 e first realized thut the shots had been fired at tho president He sprang toward hira, as did several others and and raised his head from the floor. As the president foil he exclaimed, "My God." At this time Postmaster Gen eral James, Secretary Windom and Secretary Lincoln, who had arrived ear lier at the train, were promenading on the platform outside. General James says that Colonel Jamieson of tho post ollice department rushed out of the de pot immediately after the sliota were firod and exclaimed "Tho president is shot!" Either the secretary or anotlier gentleman exclaimed, "Oh, nonsense." Col. Jamieson said. "I saw it." ' The party then rushed back and found Blaine, who appeared te be the only cool man in the crowd bending over the presidont and keeping the people lack. Physicians were hastily sum moned and Dr. Bliss, Ilyburn and sev eral others were soon in attendance. The president -was removed to a room in the second story and a preliminary examination of the wound was made but tho ball, which had entered the right side of his back, near the spinal column and immediately over the hip bono, could not be found, although its course was traced for about three iucher. As soon as ho fired the shot the assassin was seized by Officer Carney and immediately hurried away to police headquarters. This was fortunate for him, for as soon as the dazed crowd as certained that the murderer was in custody, there was talk of lynching him; and if the excited crowd could have laid hands on him, his fate would have been a sudden and a tragic one. Guitteau was locked up and physi- c;an, summoned. On the arrival of the prisoner ui me neauifuarrers, no was at once locked up, and word having been sent in every direction for physicians, Dr. TowiiBond, health officer, responded and subsequently Dr. J. II. Baxter of the army, Dr. Tell of the navy, and Dr. D. W. Bliss responded. Guitteau did not throw tho pistol away, but had it in his hand when arrested. Tho crowd outsido tho depot seemed at a toss whether to go to police head quarters and lynch the pjtrty, but about 9:45 word came out of tho room into which tho president was taken that the wound on the body was not necessar ily fatal, but that the ball could not be proWl for until after, and that one ball had wounded him in tho right arm just below tho shoulder. This seemed to re lievo tho crowd sonuiwhat, and while it became more and more dep.se, it quietly awaited further nows. At about 10 o'clock A M. the chief of police having, after consultation with Gen. Sherman, ordered out a largo detail of the polico force, a police anibr. lance was driven to tho front door of tho depot. The president appeared to bo sleeping and was deathly pale. Just as ho was placed in tho ambulance he opened his eyes. Tho streets in the neighborhood of tho depot were thronged with people, as also was the avenue. Everything was very quiet. As the presidont was being placed in the am bulance somelKxly called out, "Hurrah for tho man who shot him," but the in dignant crowd could not discover tho guilty person. 'A Malwart or Stalwarts." Washington, July 2. The papers referred to in Guitteau's letter to Gen Sherman have not yet lcen given out for publication. Byron Andrew who is tho Washington correspondent of the Chicago Inter Ocean, says that while it is truo that a packago of papers aro in the hands of tho police, accompanied by a note addressed to him (Andrews) he had no personal acquaintance and never heard of his existence till this morning. The following letter was found on the stroots, shortly after Guitteau's arrest, in an envelope, unsealed, and addressedi 'Tlcase deliver at onco to Gen. Sher man or his first assistant of tho War Department: Gon'l Sherman, I have just shot the President. I shot him so v. eral times, as I wished him to go as easy as possible, I am a lawyer, theologian and politician, and am a stalwart of the stalwarts, I was with Gen. Grant, and the rest of our men in New York dur ing the canvass. I am going to jail. Yours respectfully Ciias. Guitteau. Arthur at tho White House; Wabiiinoton, July 4. This after noon tho vice president drove to the white housa He was received by the cabinet all of whom wore there, and they held a conference. Tho vice pres ident expressed his most profound re gret at the occurrence, and said that nothing ever so moved him. Ho ear nestly hopod for tho President's recov ery and expressed sincere admiration for the president, General Arthur was then usliercd into a room whore Mrs. Garfield received him. She showed marked emotion, but bore up well. . In feeling terms the vice president ex pressed sympathy for her, and hoped tho president would recover and enjoy a peaceful and happy administration. A member cf the cabinet explained that tho physicians had positively for bidden that tho president should see Arthur; that he must have absolute quiet, and such a visit would necessar ily excite him more or less. The vice president recognized tho force of this and acquiesced. Secretary Hunt, Post master General James and other mem bers of the cabinet say that the vice president manifested the most sincere and earnest feeling and sympathy, and it was evident that he was most deeply grieved. The vice president said to the cabinet that, aside from all Other considerations, he earnestly hoped, on his own account,- that the president would get well, and added: "Got knows I do not want the position to which I was not tlected--one I never expected to hold, and under such dread ful and distressing circumstances." Republican Jealousy Albany July 4. Administration im-n charge the stalwarts with actual htdirect.respotisibility for the murder of the president. It is expected thai some result iu balloting will be reached this week. rrayer for the President. Chicago, July 4. Nearly every church in every hamlet and city in tho land held services yesterday primarily or incidentally devoted to prayers for the safety of Garfield, hopes for his restoration or to discussion of the isr sues involvod. Garfield's Last Letter. Washington, July 4. By a singu lar coincidence the lost letter written by the president before ho was shot was addressed to Gen. Hancock, dated Friday, and related to an appointment recently conferred upon ono of Gen, Hancock's aides do camp. It was pleasant in tone and could not but have pleased the recipient Tho letter informed Gen. Hancock that Col Mitchell had been appointed assistant adjutant general of tho army and after apologizing for depiivingthe general's stair of an excellent officer, concluded, "While your staff, general, loses an or nament, tho service gains an assistant adjutant general of whom it may well fuel proud." ' The Assassin. Chas. Guitteau, the would be assassin went to Washington in February last with recommendations from various ' parties in Illinois to secure tho United States consulship to Marseilles, France; He also applied for tho placd of U. S; minister to Austria, but he had no en dorsements whatever, only filing i copy of one of his speeches in the cam paign. Ho claimed he was with Grant last fall, and says he is from Freeport, Illinois, aged 30 years. Director of the mint Burchard knows his family. He evidently planned the.assassination, but withqut providing for escape. He be lieved he could convince Sherman hi lid right. He was hurried to jail sd fast that there was no time for lynch: ing. Col. Iiigcrsoll knew, Guitteau as a quiet and sober man, and believos his" insanity feigned. The assassin Guitteau is a well known figuro to the peoplo at the white house. Ho has tried on several occasions W pass himself off as a newspaper reporter Ho frequently wroto notes to the Prat- idont of which tho following is a sample; "I regret the trouble you are having with Senator Conkling. You are all right and should maintain your posi tion. You have my support and that of all patriotio citizens. I .would like an audience of a few momenta." He used to seize upon tlio Wllite House state stationery, tako some of it off and wriie innumerable letters. Ho would utilize blank cards by Writing himself a supply, if he should ever need therri and ono day Col Crook, disbursing clerk, said to him, "You seem to make yourself at homo and be laying in a suply of stationery." Said Guitteau to him in an insulting manner, "Dd you know who I ami I am one of the men who make presidents." Last Tues day he met one of the employees and was very particular in inquiring wheri the president would leave and by what train and road. He has an idiotio grin on his faco at times. One day he he said that this was a "hell of a gov ernment. The people are nd better than Blavos." Washington, July 2. Guitteau has sandy complexion and is of slight build, weighing not more than 125 pounds, lie wears a moustache end light chin whiskers; and his sunken cheeks and eyes far apart from each other give him a sullen, or, as an official described it a bony appearance. The officer in question stated he had noticed it to be' the peculiarity of nearly all murderers that their eyes set far apart and Guit- . . teat, he said, proved no exception td the general tile. When the prisoner' arrived at the jail he was attired in i suit of blue, and wore a drab hat; pulled down over his eyes, giving him" the appearance of an ugly character. It may bo worthy of note to state thaf some two or three weeks ago Guineas' went to jail for tho purpose of visit-' ing it, but was refused admittance on the ground of it not being visitors' day; He at that time mentioned his name' was Guittertu, and he said he came froni Contained on the Pighth Pai-w Tt enarge.
