As a lawyer he stands at the head f his profession, and his long experience at the bar, his ripened judgment and well trained intellect, capitally fit him for the position to which lie will undoubt edly bo elected in November next Added to these qualifications his indomitable energy, his untiring in dustry, his capacity for woTk, and his quick perceptions id ways follow ed by prompt action, will soon make him an enviable- character as a Judge.

Ox Saturday last the Legislature i of New York elected Hon. Warren Miller United States Senator for the lonr term, to fill the vacancv oeca- j sioncJ hy tie resignation 0f Thomas J c. Piatt, and it is probable that be j fore we go to press with this paper, we will have the announcement that Mr. Lapham has been .elected the successor of Boscoe Conkling. The fact that the dead-lock in the New York Legislature is ended, and that that State has again two Republicans on the floor of the Senate to care for her interests, will bo very gratifying news to the Republicans throughout the country. - ' With two Republican Senators from New York, and the casting j vote of the Vico President, the Son- jate is in the hands of the Republi cans. But in securing the Senate by the election . of thc?e Senators both present members of Congress we fear that we have lost the power j to organize the House. Should we carry both districts in November, of which there is scarce a doubt, yet, if we are not misinformed, as to the law in New York, the vote cannot bo canvassed and certificates granted the newly elected members until near the middle of December; meanwhile Congress meeting on the first Mon day of December, the House will have been organized, and 'lacking these two vote3 the Democrats ' will have the power to select its oJOeers. The New . York Legislature after electing the other Senator, may and will perhaps bcTore it; adjourns, ametid the law, as applicable to spe cial elections, and thus overcome tie difficulty, but it would have been more judicious, under the cir-. cumstances, to have elected Senators who are not members of the present Congress.

Guiteau, came to Washington city on Sunday evening, March 0th, lSl,and stopped at tke Ebbitt Jlouse, remaining only one day. lie then secured a room in another part of the city, and has boarded and roomed at various place, the full details of which I have. "On Wednesday, May ISth, 1S81, the assassin determiiicd to murder th President He had neither money nor pistol at the time. About the last of May he went into Ompa raV store, corner of Fifteenth and F streets, in this city, and examined some pistols, asking for the largest calibre. He was shown two, simi lar in calibre, and only, different in price. Oa . Wednesday, June 8th, he purchased the pistol - which he used, for which he paid $10, he hav- J ing m the meantime borrowed $15 ol a gentleman in this city on the plea that he wanted to pay Ids board bill. On the same evening about 7 o'clock he took the pistol and went to the foot of Seventeenth street and practiced firing at a board, firing ten shots. He then re turned to his boarding place, and wijied the pistol dry and wrapjed it in his coat, and waited his opportu nity. "On Sunday morning, June 12, he was sitting in Lafayette Park ainl saw the President leave for the Christian Church, on Vermont ave., and he nt once rehired to his room, obtained his pistol, put it in his hip pocket, and followed the President to church ; he entered the church, but found he could- not kill him thero without danger of killing some one else. He noticed that the iTes ident sat near a window ; after church he made an examination of the win dow, and found he could reach it without any trouble, and that from this point he could shoot the Presi dent through the head without kill ing any one else. The following Wednesday he went to the church examined the location and the win dow, and became satisfied he coujd accomplish his purjwse, und he de termined, theretbre, to make the at tempt at the church the following Sunday. He learned from the pa pers that the President would leave the city on Saturday, the ISth of June, with Mrs. Garfield, for Long Branch. He, therefore, determined to meet him at . the depot He left his boarding house about 5 o'clock Saturday morning, Juno 18th, and went down the river, at the foot of Seventeenth street, and - tired r five shots, to practice his aim and be certain his pistol was in pood order. He then went to the deiot, and was in the ladies' waiting room of the depot, with his pistol ready, when the presidential party entered. He says Mrs. .Gar field looked so- weak and frail that he had not the heart to shoot tlie President in her pres ence, and 33 he knew he would nave another opportanity, he left the de pot He had previously engaged a carriage to take him to the jail. On Wednesday evening the Presi dent and his son, and, I think, Un ited States Marshal Henry, went out for a ride. Tho assassin took his pistol and followed them, and watched them for some time, in hopes that the carriage would stop, bat no opportunity was given. "On Friday evening, July 1, he was sitting on the scat in the park opposite the White House, when he i saw the President come out alone ; j he followed him down the avenue 1- flrt 41. .4 ,1 it 1 1 , oimnfi(. , ' nf t, stlt 1 1 1 Fifteenth until . the President enter ed the residence of Secretary Blaine. lie waited at the comer of Mr. Mor ton slate residence, fifteenth and II, for some time, and then, as he was afraid he would attract atten tion, he went into the alley in the rear of Mr. Morton s residence, ex amined his pistol and waited.

On the morning of Saturday, July 2, he breakfasted at the 15lg Tlmien nlinnt. 7 o'clock. He then walked, up, into the park and sat there for an hour. He theu took a one-horse avenue car and rode to Sixth street, got out and went into the depot and loitered around there, had his shoes blacked, engaged a hackman for 82 to take him to the jaU. went into .the water closet and ul from emng powder j. examined hi j,. v "'s' and returned to Uie ladies waiting iiu'r.l ftorolii llir f rtOii 4 ha ri ivrrt.v , j rom, and, as soon as the President , entered, advanced behind him and j hreu two shots, mese ; lacts, . i think, can be ftued on as accurate. and I give them tq the? public to contradict certain fahto runjorsjn connection with this nio?t Jiiro-iiou j of atrocious crimes."

He is charged with a terrible catalogue of crimes. He was chief of a band of robbers who infested the island of Sicily, and es pecially the neighborhood of Paler mo, robbing, murdering and hold ing captured travelers for ransom. The charges against Esposito are, first, with being a member of an out lawed band ; second, with having extorted by violence 2"0,000 lire ; third, extortion through violence of 40,000 lire ; fourth, four premedi tated mutders ; fifth, extortion, with violence, of 8,000 lire; sixth, a second murder with premeditation : seventh.

J July 12. The early New Jersey Southern morning train out of lted Bank met with an accident on the br'.d. I v. ween here and Manchester ;.i J o'clock this morning. Tin! accident was canst d by the train jumping a frtig. The train consisted of an engine, a baggage car and a passenger coach. Tho en gine and uaggage car crossed the bridge in safety, but thecoach, which was in' the rear, plunged into the lake. Four out of the eleven passen gers managed to get out without aid, and helped to free their less fortunate companions. Andrew Bobbins, the conductor, lay among tho debris, apparently dead, tightly squeezed between the trucks and demolished car roof. He was the first brought ashore. A lady named Robinson, living at I.akewood, was next attended to. She. sustained the fracture of a limb. Two little children who were trav eling in care of Mrs. .Robinson were found huddled together in each others arms under the wrecked coach, apparently uninjured. Major W. J. Parmcntier, General Freight Superintcndant of the road, was sitting by the side of Caleb Wright,' the traveling supervisor of the Pennsylvania Railroad, when the car plunged into the lake. Wright escaped unhurt, but Par mcntier received injuries so serious that the physicians would not per mit his removal to his home at Red Bank to-night Two other persons were slightly injured. Probably the only fatal result of the accident will be in the case of conductor Bob bins. The bridge is completely wrecked, but this afternoon trains ran on schedule time, the only delay being that caused by the transfer of pas sengers by a foot bridge over the wreck. Sad Aretie Tiding.

The Indians brought away from the Vigilant some money, a spy glass, bomb gun and fowling piece. The revenue cutter Convin has sent a sledge party in search of j the Indians to recover the articles named and obtain further informa tion. There is no news from the Jean nettc.

Yesterday the body of an unknown woman was found float ing in the river just below the Amer ican falls by Guide Conroy. It has the appearance of being that of a dark-complexioned young lady, about twenty years of age, finely formed, with a beautiful long, darlc head of hair. It was destitute of clothing except an undergarment, and a pair of low-cut shoes. A plain gold ring encircled the third linger on the left hand. The body was in perfect preservation. It had not been long in the water, and had only received a few slight bruises. It is hardly possible she had come over the falls without being more or less-fcadly mangled by the rocks and the heavy weight of water fall ing upon it Still there are no grounds to believe it got into the water from the bank below, conse quently the caseicmains a mystery. The body is in the hands of the au thorities! An inquest will be held to day. A Terrible Accident. Reapixo. July 12. A terrible ac- cidf nt occurred at Bresborg's pajcr mill here yesterday, resulting in the instant death of Mahlon Young and the narrow escape of several others.

The water in the public Equarc is two feet deep and nub-deep in the principal streets, where boats are running with ease. Scores of fami lies have been driven out of their houses and great damage has been done to dwellings. The bridges ap proaching this city arc gone and travel is suspended. Thousands of acres 01 Jan.i are iitMKicd and the crops ruined. The damage in the town and to farms is not less than $2,XX)000.. The mayor has issued a proclamation warning all who arc in exposed situations to seek higher ground. The Iowa river is from two to three miles wide and is still rising. Cedar Rapips, July 13. The de struction of railroad, farm and city property immediately west of this place ty the recent storm is unpar allelled in the history of tho region, the railroads being the greatest suf ferers. The damage to the Chicago and Northwestern road by the block ades last winter is very small com pared with what the line is now un dergoing. At some points the waters are subsiding, while at others they con tinue to rise. A large number of west bound passengers are delayed here, being unable to make any line which reaches Council Bluffs. The Burlington, Cedar Rapids and Northern road escaped damage by the first storm, but the storms and high water on that line last night washed away several hundred feet of track at Fraerer, on the Pa cific division, but the line will be open to-morrow. The main line of the Burlington, Cedar Rapids and Northern road is badly damaged ana washed out south of I.aporte City, several hun dred feet of track being gone, and the water still rising makes it im possible to repair the break. The Siberian I'lasue. Loxpox, July 14. A St: Peters burgh dispatch to the Standard says that the Siberian plague, which was recently reported as having made its appearance in the environs of the city, is spreading with alarming ra pidity. Horses are dying by the scores antl many persons are allliet ed.

Cixcixxati, July 11 The terri ble heat abated two r three degrees yesterday, but it lias caused no re duction in the number of prostra tions. There have been about one hundred cases, half of which are fa tal. The accumulation of heat in tii iiMi-emint and the wall of buildinns is h -treat that a fall of three defT-is in the temperature is inappreciable. Great difficulty has bt i ii experienced in curing for the stricken and the dead. The death rate has never !een so great in Cin cinnati except during the cholera season, thirty odd years ago. There are many deaths credited to disease that are really due to the intense heat Physicians who passed through that epidemic state that their work then was not so hard as now, for the reason that cholera patients were much easier to attend. Orders were issued yesterday that all the fire engine houses and police sta tions lie converted into temporary hospitals. District physicians were assigned to eacn 01 mem, aim im- ( firemen r rid police were instructed as to t'.e best measure of rcsusei ti the stricken people who were being hourly reportcu to them. There can be no doubt but many have died who could have been sayed had they received proper attention at once. Precious time has bee n wasted in sending for ambulances antl conveying them to hospitals, where they arrived too late to be re stored. Others who could not be reached by the physicians or the hospital ambulances have died mis erable deaths. A man named M'Lean was pros trated fyesterday and in an hour was pronounced dead. He was taken to the Morgue and placed i-i ice preparatory to burial. The ice cooled his blood and the attendant was soon after greatly astonished to see him rise out of the trough and ask for his clothes. finud Slide. Cixcixxati. O., July 14.
