It will bo a pninfu! thing for him to do, with all the pad incidents clustering nround that historic spot. Of all the occurrences which have taken place in tho old building, not one has been fo mournful as the long and patient sickness cf our well beloved James A. Garfield. Every room will bo peopled with ghostly memories and the very shadows are instinct and full of remi niscanjfs of the great departed. Der rick "'' The trial" of the villian Gui teau has been in progress eince Monday of last week ; the evidence for the prosecu tion has all been taken, and on Mon day the assassin opened his side of the case in a rambling speech. Iliacoun pel will rely entirely on the insanity' dodge to clear the villain, and whether the jury can be brought to thai belief is only a question of time, but oa one of our exchanges remarks, a jury that cannot see through the flimsy dodge ought to be hamstrung. Whatever the result may be the country will not be satisfied with anything but a ver dict of guilty in manner and form as indicted, and if the officers of the law cannot find him so let thera turn him loose ; the people will find biui guilty by a large majority in short order, and without any great expense to the government either. GUITEAU SHOT AT. On Saturday afternoon as. Guiteau was being conveyed from the court house to the prison, a man on horse back rode up and fired a shot into the van, in which Guiteau was seated, the bull merely grazing his wrist, inflict iog the slightest imaginable wound. The would-be killer wa9 arrested at least it was supposed to be the right roan his name being Win. Jones. After he had fired the shot he rode by the driver cf the van, beside whom a policeman was sitting, and remarked "I've shot the ." The police man fired after him but missed him. After the man Jones was arrested, the pouceman wno naa nrea. el him was called to indentify him but failed to do so, saying he was not the man who fired the shot at Guiteau. The affair created a good deal of exsitement about Washington until it was found the wound was very slight. The Der rick, in an article on the subject ex presses our sentiments to the letter: "While all should feel gratiGed that no violation of the law occurred which encouraged the crime of assinsination and that prompt measures were taken for the arrest of the guilty party, it is unmistakably the fact that the an nouncemeut of the shooting caused universal gratification among all class es of persons and genuine regret when u was iouna mat tne wound was so trivial. Tbtre is a feeling of uneaei ne3s, m the minds of all our people, that this double-dyed villain Guiteau may escape and that pretended in sanity may slip him through the meshes ci the net now round about him. This feeling, in connection with the prevailing belief that he should be speedily hung or otherwise disposed of, manifests itself in these attempts of his life and the joy felt at thU last effort. The anxiety manifested to protect the rascal and the over-zealous eagerness shown in capturing his assailant, do not meet with the hearty approval which usually is accorded to all officers of the law, when perform ing their duty. The reason is obvi ous. This fellow is looked upon as something outside the pale of consid eration, as an excreeence which should be cut off from society and the world, as soon as possible ; as a foul cancer eating into the life of the people, whose best beloved he destroyed, hence there is but little patience with the delay of the trial aud no sympathy whatever with hiui, and many feel that the same caution used to protect James A. Garfisld, that is now promi nent in throwing a coidon of officers around his murderer, might have tared hii valuable life. Notwith standing all this, it is the duty of all law-abiding citizens to frowu down all attempts to avecge murder by mur der ; to give the scoundrel every show for his miserable life, within the strict later of the law, hoping a ropa's end .'! s-jou.

Republican: It has been some time since I bavo written you, hence I will again trouble you for a little space in the columns of your invalua ble paper, in-which to give a little of the history of Colorado resources, scen ery &c, being now a little better ac quainted with the country than when I wrote you last. As is usual, most people who write home flower every thing up and make Colorado appear like a garden in regard to its fertility aud a Golcorda in regard to minerul wealth ; specially recommend its mineral waters, laud it to the skies for its scenery and would fain ascribe to it the locus of tho fount ain ef "Perpetual Youth." So I have read in Old Forest and my eastern homo. I consider I am undeceived. My trip. taken as it has been, mostly on foot and ia the saddle, in closely ex amining the country, mountains, plains, towns, villages, mining camps, Ac., for a distance of almost eight hundred miles including railway travel from State line to Denver and irom Denver to Leadville, leaving about four hundred miles of travel as above. Much of this I bavo been over three or four times, making in all, probably, nearly sixteen hundred miles of actual "Cororado travel," Most of tho country is unfit for agri culture. In Kent, Weld and Arrana- hoe counties J will assert that less than 5 per cent, is unfit for growing . grain, it being high alkali plaits on which can bo seen, for miles and miles, nothing but alkali in such quantities as to appear as if the country was covered with snow. It seldom, if ever, rains, excent in the the har a rainy season, when it rains all time and preveuts farmers from vesting what little they cau induce - to grow hy a system or irrigration. I saw fields of hay aud grain in ElPoso county which had been spoiled by the continuous'rains of the rainy season. All of the highlands are unfit for any thing 'except grazing purposes. All of the mountainous counties are unfit for even thatasjit fieezes every night in the year and so stunts the grasses and plants that theyj cannot afford sufficient pasturage for stock. Of course the valleys along the streams are exempt from the above, Where they do attempt to herd cattle on the alkali plains they count five head of cattle per square mile, or one for about ouo hundred and seventy-five acres. How is that for "stock rais ing?" I know of no locality in Color auo which i can compare with our farming land in Forest; Clarion, Ve nango or Crawford counties and these are considered "less than average ag ricultural counties." So much for "Agricultural Colorado." Of the minerals they bavo many gold, silver, copper (common red), gray copper, lead, antimony, bismuth, zinc, arsenic, &c. These they have iu variable quantities of course. The gold "diggings" are princpally "Placer mines" and soma quartz mines. The placer mines are not ,very good ex cepting at Breckenridge, in Summit Co., where they find 'gold in paying quantities. The quartz mines are not as good as the 'Tlacers j" they rarely if ever yield over three ounces per ton oi quartz, amounting to a little over $54 per ton ; this, you will perceive, is not much of a mine so far as sudden wealth is concerned. The silver mines are somewhat better, though by no means what we read of them east Most of them are galena (sulphide of lead) mines ; that is, they are lead ores carrying silver. This is in one or two instances very rich. In the After math mine at Kokomo the Assayer told me that they had re which on several occasions run 2700 ounces to the ton. I do not koow whether he informed me wrougly or not, at any rate I don't believe it. In the Chryso lite mine at Leadville they have some very rich ore, some of it goicg 3000 ounces to tho ton. All the mines on Fryar Hill, near Leadville, are fair bui most oi them are by no means what they are cracked up to be iue heeler Mountain mines at Wheeler Station on the D. & K. G R. H on Teumilo creek, are a fizzle in every refpect; also all the mines in the Tenmile cannon and near Frisco The mines at Carbonate, RoUinaou Station (D. & It. Q. II. II.) are by far the best on the Te n mile or West Ten mils creeks, or what is kuown na the k'okomo Mining District. To tho south they hive vnrious mining dis tricts which hardly averse with tho above. Aaiong these nro : .Sagtmche pronounced Si-watch in the county of the same namo ; the llarJscrable, Black Cauon, Iron Canon, Bonanza, Elk Mountain, Ruby, Gunnison, Sil verton, Ouray, Rosita, West Mount ain, San Snis, Cleora, Twin Lakes, &c, are neted mining districts ; ,yet there are those, which it were far better to term "Prospecl-holo districts" than "mining districts." Lead id, however, found in paying quantities, and softer bituminous coal in abundance. Anti mony and arsenic abound in the various galenas but not in sufficient quantities to warrant their reduction. Zinc is not abundant likewise bismuth. Hence you will see that much of what is said in favor of Colorado's mineral resources is untrue if my observations are correct. My chances for picking up details is, probably very nearly ns good in the society of tho various min ing engineers and U. S. Deputy Min eral Surveyors, cs is those who visit Denver, stay over night in tho Wind sor Hotel, and leave by first train next morning, and as soon as opportu nity presents, write out an astoundiug account of tho resources of Colorado. Much of what I have written us re gards the mineraKef this State I have seen myself, having been to most of the districts above named and had at least one interview with tho engineer in chargo of the most important mine or mines in tho district. Also, what ittle I know of Geology and miner- ology entitles me to form an opinion of my own in regard to the abovo mat ter. Most of the silver exists "in the minds" of eastern people. Thoso who have bocouie wealthy from tho Color ado mines did not get it from the sale of bullion but from speculation during the excitement. A notable example of the above is that of II. A. W. Ta- ber, of Leadvilla and Denver, and Gov. Pitkin of Denver. Other cases might be cited but I think this suffi cient for "Mineral Colorado." "Social Colorado." Of the society of Colorado I can say very little; yet it is far better than I expected to find it, do not understand me that I con sider it at all what 1 should like to see it by no means. In the couutry and mining camps the associations are of the very crudest, roughest kinds, and have a tendency to destroy all the hnsr sentiments ot human nature, and any person who has not very decidedly bxeu habits had better not mingle with the mining carnp society. It is generally anythiug but what it should be. In tho smaller towns, usually, about oue-half of t lie population is of that elusa which live in and frequent houses oi ill unie, dram shops, una gambling hells of every couceivaable clans, into whicu the unwary "tender toot is beguiled us soon as he enters the miserable towns, and is either led into the game and looses or in "treat ed until he is lnglonously intoxica ted, wheu his money ai d valuables are speedily taausferred to some one's pocket Rud the unfortunate "tender foot" is not very genily laid in the gutter to get along ns best he can About two-thirds of the houses in the average mining towns are of a tporious character generally. If a new "lead" is found the next thing is a town. Tho first day there arrives a few tents, the next day a full supply of liquors of the vilest kinds, and the next day, or at furtherest, the uexc but one there will be an arrival of about twelve or fifteen "dance house larks" and the town is complete, being called some "city" or other. The fifth or sixth day, at farthest a week, elapses a nd a miner or a "lark is killed to etcrt graveyard. The next day they hold an electiou for Mayor, &c. Here you have a Colorado town, society and all complete n about as tew words as I cau make it. lhoabcveis the aver age mining camp town "society." In the cities such as Denver, Leadville, Pueblo, Colorado Springs, Dorango, etc., there is much of the same kind ns above, but also some civilized people who are just as near the best of east eru 6uciety as can be imagined. This is especially noticable in Denver. I was considerably surprised to see so thriving a city as Denver when I arrived. All of the acquaintances I made while iu Denver I found to be generally refined and cultured- people ot rather tine sentiments. However the same attention is not paid to strangers here as in the east. No one ever thinks of presenting a friend and if he dots not present himself which is considered all right ho re mains without any acquaintances Such is ' Social Colorado." "Scenic Colorado." Of scenic Col orado much can bo said for and against. an some nmunces it is gruud, and in other instances it is not more striking thau cur eustein seen ery. The two are, however, iucorapar able. Western scenery is more bold aim massive ; eastern scenery mote delicate aud in keeping with cultured and refined nature. In our fcconerv here we behold majestic, grand aud massive nature, with a tendency to awe the beholder with its rugged, bold clearly defined forms towerin? towan the fckics,, and leading the beholder to compare him.'elf mere mite to these &tupennoiis forms of nature and toi' cider what he is, whc, H,H i,,iui j,,,,, to further comparison ofhimsolf tanl? i creation.
