a J r glsc gsrtt gisttrciUm. ASTORIA- OREGON ; WEDNESDAY JULY G. 1881 B.C. IRELAND ... .Editor. Tlie Presidents Condition. Hundreds of visitors from all parts of the country were received at the "White-house on the 4th, in tent upon being near the presi dent, and to get the latest news. One remarkable feature of the im mense crowds is perfect quiet and order. No loud talking or laugh ter is indulged in. All are anxious. The deepest interest is manifested in the presidents condition. As the night advances the crowd in creases instead of diminishing, and matiy stay all night. Every evi dence 6f the greatest veneration and respect for the president is shown by the populace. No man could have a firmer hold upon the people. The press agent to-night passed through the grounds and entered the White-house. None are admitted lo the grounds ex-r- i upon passes, with the excep tion of surgeons, cabinet ministers and close friends. All save these few are stopped in the large vesti bule below, but the press agent, by order of Attorney General MeVeagh, was admitted up stairs in the private secretary's room, where the attorney general, post master general, secretary of the treasury, and about a dozen others. James and Hunt were talking to gether, MeVeagh was looking over telegrams at the private secretarys tables. Blaine entered from a door leading towards the presi dents room and sat down by a lady and gentleman who had just en tered. Anxiety was depicted on every face, and Blaine was the picture of keenest distress. The agent then approached Blaine and asked him what he thought of the presidents con dition. In low tones, with head bowed down, he replied: "He is no worse. The doctors say that favorable signs continue, but of course his condition is very criti cal, and we all feel great anxiety, but we feel hopeful. We hope " Blaine then relapsed into silence, and with eyes bent on the floor appeared abstracted. In tense mental suffering shows itself on his every feature. The Postmaster-general and Secretary Hunt were asked their candid opinions of the presidents condition. Sec retary Hunt replied: "The doctors had a consul tation at 7 o'clock this evening, and agree that the president rallied surprisingly from the shock of the wound, and that he still held the advantage. He has gained in the last twenty-four hours. They feel satisfied with this and say that if they can pre vent any relapse for a day or twp, the case will be more honeful. The crisis is not yet reached by any means, and it is not possible for surgeons to say what the result will be, but they say that the pos sibility of the presidents recovery is more hopeful now." Secre tary Hunt said that he had con versed with all the surgeons who were at the conference and all agree in the view he had stated. Surgeon-General Baines assents to this statement, but apparently was not inclined to put in words any very favorable opinion. The countenances of all present indi cate less hope than their words express. All were anxious, and a general feeling of gloom seemed to pervade everything after nine o'clock. Dr. T. Hamilton, cited to consultation at "Washington says that if the ball actu ally penetrated the cavity of the bell' and passed through even a small portion of the liver, future danger to the patient I consider very great, even though he may have escaped the first danger, that of hemorrhage. Examples of re covery after penetrating gunshot wounds in the liver are very few. In the late war I was able to re cord eight examples of gunshot wounds of the liver. I have my self personally seen two, both from pistol balls. The records of the late civil war furnish a number of examples. It must be remembered that all cases recorded by my self, and probably most of the cases, where recovery of such accidents, were cases when the ball passed through the wall of belly and made its escape extern all. If the ball remains in the belly, as must be the fact in this case, if it has once entered it, dan ger is greatly increased, and can never cease entirely until the ball is found and successfully extracted. The Assassin. Charles Guitteau, the would-be assassin, is a foreigner by birth, and has been a very persistent ap plicant for a consular position. He has haunted the executive mansion for several weeks, and his disappointment at not getting what he wanted has caused temporary aberration of mind. Guitteau is a well-known figure to the people at the White-house. He has tried on several occasions to pass him self off as a newspaper reporter. He frequently wrote notes to the president, of which the following is a sample: "I regret the trouble you are having with Senator Conk- ling. You are all right, and should maintain vour position. You have my support and that of all patri otic citizens. I would like an au dience of a few moments." He used to seize upon the White house state stationery, take some of it off and write innumerable letters. He would also utilize blank cards by writing himself a supply, if he should ever need them, and one day Col. Crook, dis bursing clerk, said to him: "You seem to make yourself a home and be laying in a supply of station ery." Said Guitteau to him in an insulting manner, "do you know who I am? I am one of the men who make presidents." Last Tues day he met one of the employes and was very particular in inquir ing when the president -would leave and by what train and road. He has an idiotic grin on his face at times. One day he said that this was a "hell of a government. The people are no better than slaves." It is not true that he was once consul. He has never been appointed, but was always a per sistent office seeker from Garfield and Blaine. .He says he did this to save the republican party. There is not another living soul with him in the matter. He is des cribed as a shyster attorney, a real nettiforer. A New York at torney, who has had some indirect legal dealings with Guitteau, says some four years ago he was practic ing in New York city and was in the habit of taking claims to col lect on the shares; namely, to receive for his services half the proceeds. Guitteau used to make sufficient collections to secure his half but the client never obtained anything. The Herald exposed the whole proceeding and the re sult was that Guitteau found New York too hot to hold him and went west, finally settling down in Chicago. From this point he wrote to James Gordon Ben nett demanding $100,000 for libel but failed to get the money. He, however, wrote again to Ben nett intimating if he would en gage in a certain newspaper enterprise in Chicago with him (Guitteau) the claim for 8100,000 could be wiped out. While in Washington he look charge of a case for a lady on Fourteenth street and secured judgment for 900. The judgment was attached on the ground of fraud, and al though the judgment could not be proven the court set aside the judgment, ft is understood many of his legal practices were based on the same order of professional proceedings. The assassin owes $50 board and hypothecated with his landlady on expectation of a foreign appointment. He applied for the United States ministry to Austria, then consul-general of France, but had no endorsements whatever, filing only a copy of one of his speeches during the presi dential campaign last year. He claimed he was with Grant and Conkling in their canvassing tour last fall, and says he is from Free port, Illinois, aged 30 years. He evidently planned the assassina tion, but without providing for es cape. He believed he could con vince Sherman he did right. He was hurried to jail so fast there was no time for lynching. Col. Bob. Ingersoll, who knew Guit teau, says he is a quiet and sober man, and Bob. believes his insanity is feigned. About half past eight o'clock Monday evening a terrible shoot ing scrape occurred in Portland in front of the "Esmond, between Ben Cornelius, his son Charles, and his divorced son-in-law, Jack Powers. The affair grew out of a separation between Powers and his wife. Ben Cornelius and Powers were both shot literally all to pieces. They exchanged shots until both fell. And perhaps both are mor tally wounded. P. Wilhelm, Boss saloon, opposite the Clarendon hotel, Portland, Oregon. Fourth of July accidents were ol frequent occurrence in Port laud. Besides the Cornelius shoot ing affair, there were four fire alarms, and many run arrays and run overs. Portlands streets are too narrow for a crowd. In San Francisco there were many fire alarms but only one fire of any consequence occurred in the Green street Congregational church, causing a loss of about $3000. .-Svtf yon ever heard it business nutti ty that advertising cliil mt pay b'nn :' "Advertisements are tit- ijuiet solL-itors who never intrude, Ihi! who never lail to make tlicinvlw known, and are mhii mid remembered despite the will of the reader who could not forget them if he would.
