A ; PEOPLE'S SORROM THE NATIONS HOPE The news of the awful tragedy at Washington, the attempted assassi nation of President Garfield, the de tails of,which are given in this issue, was flashed over the wires on Satur day forenoon last, July 2d, the first telegram reaching here just before ten o'clock. From that time down to the hour of going to press bulle tins have been received stating the Plesident's, condition. The latest, thank God, are favorbie 'and give hope of his-ultimate recovery,though not yet out of danger. _ The intense sorrow expressed by the entire peo -, ple, irrespective of party, on receipt ;of the startling intelligence, gave evi dence of the profound respect for and confidence in President Garfield: Here, the people gathered about the telegraph office and waited with in tense anxiety the receipt of the hour ly bulletins giving the condition of . the wounded President.

Com ing at a time when prosperity was smiling upon all the material inter ests and industries of the country, the administrative policy of the President having been so just and wise, men of all parties, with but . a few unimportant factious exceptions, awarded to him the due weed of a wise, patriotic and just Executive of the Nation's trust,i9 life, at this juncture,! is of more importance and value to ttlie Republic, than that of any man now living. Not only is he beloved by the people for his wise administration, but for his manly christien virtues : The example of his life, having been of humble birth, and by hie own determined will and _tenacity of honorable purpose, risen by a nation"s • confidenee to the high est office in their' gift, has endeared him to American citizens as the noblest example-of the, possibilities of American manlird. - -On the re ceipt of the nessin Satuiday ever:L ing' of his death, wbi'cli the bulletins of Sunday morning contradicted, the bah, of all uut tthalaieb tuned a re quium_ for the nation's dead.

WASHINGTON, July 2.—A preliminary examinatiqnof the President's wounds was made a(the depot, and meantime the assassin had not been allowed to escape.' After firing the fatal shot he started at a ) rapid pace through the main Baiting-room, apparantlY intend ing to escape by. the entrance on the Sixth-street side. He held the smok ing revolver in his hand, but was pre:- vented from passing by: the crowd, iwhieh pushed toward. the spot where the President was lying. -He, turned sharp about, passed within ten i feet of his victim, and attempted to pass out at the B-street entrance, through which tne A rresident bad just gone. A po liceman named Kearney, was standing On the corner of Sixth and B Streets when the shots were fired, and he ran to the entrance of the last-named street just in time to meet Guiteau as he was coming out of the door. - Without knowing that he was the assassin; but attracted by the mkn's desire- to get away, the officer grabl/ed' him and held him as in a vice. Guiteau strug gled a little to get away, his shirt be ing, torn in the encounter, but Special Officer Scott came to -Kearney,s assis tance and the murderer submitted quietly. "Yes," said the e assassin, "I have killed Garfield; Arthur is Presi dent of the United States. I am a Stalwart. I have a lettet-Ahat will tell you all about it. I want you to take it up to . Secretary Sherman." His pistol was taken from him and he was removed without delay to Police HeadqUarters, corner t:11 1 Pennsylvania Avenue and Four-and-h-half Street. Quite a crowd followed the officers and the prisoner to headquarters. But no violence toward him was at tempted. In fact, but few of the peo pl6 who saw hitin rushed thrOugh. the street were aware of tire gravity of his offence: He. was ;entered on the police, books as follows: .

THE PRECAUTION AGAINST LYNCHING THE CRIME LONG PREMEDITATED WASHINGTON, July 2. —ln a•short time after the news of the attempted emu nation spread through the city a crowd numbering about two hundred persons gathered about police headquarters. Anticipating a possible attem pt to lynch the prisoner, it was, determined to take him at once to y th e District Jail, which is a mile east of the Capitol. The pris oner tas considerably excited,(and ev idently feared rough treatment at the hands of the crowd. In this he was mis taken. News that the • President's wounds had not resulted fatally was cir culated among the people: The pris oner was rushed down - stairs and placed in a carriage with Lieutenant Austin and three detectives, and escorted by a squad of mounted police, they were driven to the jail. On the way the pris oner conversed freely. In conversation with De l tective McElfresh be said: "Mr. McElfresh, I contemplated this act six weeks ago .and intended to shoot the President at that time. I laid for him at the depot when the party went 'to Long Branch, but Mrs. ClartieldjOoked so sick and delicate I didn't have the heart to shoot - him. No accomplices were associated - with me. I did it all mytielf." • "iWhat induced you to counnit• thick '•abftrminablo-orime," asked McElfresh. "It was to save the Repnblican party.

PALE AND WEAK, BUT CONSCIOUS, AS HE WAsimanori, July 2.—The physt cuuismade an unavailing effort to 'dig cover the ball at the depot.: It was ev ident that:nothing could be done in the Presence of such a crowd, and that the slim chances of saving the President's life depended upon placing him where lie could have absolute quiet. A police ambulance was sentior.sed it WWI back ed up to the B-street entrance of the depot. The President was brought down stairs upon a stretcher Wine by Chief Cronin of the - Fire Department, Officer Coal ell and tWo other gentle men. The doors were thrown open and the crowd parted while the wounded man was gently laid upon matrastes in the bottom of the vehicle. The Presi dent was very pale and weak, but con- Scions. He opened his eyes and silently waved. ,his - hand toward the crowd. Strong men sobbed or cried at the piti ful sight. A squad of twelve mounte d policemen surrounded the _ambulance. Colonel Corbin took a seat by the side . of the driver, Colonel Rockwell was in side, and three or four attendants clung' to the steps in the rear. The vehicle was driven slowly over the Belgian pavement to Pennsylvania . Avenue. As soon as the smooth pavement was reach- . ed the horses were put at a gallop and the cavalcade dashed up toward the White House at full speed. Preceding the ambulance to the White House by a few moments were several physicians in their carriages. The avenue was crowd ed with people, who stood upon . the sidewalks watching withtearfur eyes the mournful processiok as it bore the al-, most Ilfelesi body of the Preside& to the White House. The east gates, south of the Treasury building, were thrown open.- The ambulance passed within and the gates were ,closed against the crowd. Officers were immediately placed at all the entrances io the grounds aid the public . was excluded.: As the ambulance was driven up to the, south entrance to the Executiie Mansion the President was lifted out..

M.—There is a strong feel ing outside the White House that the President's condition is more critical at this time, than it has _yet been: This impression rests undoubtedly on the remarks 'privateiy made by those who are conversant with the case and whose avenues of information are ,of the best possible character. No offi cial bulletin will probably be issued at present, and it is held that the physi cians in attendance are deferring the bulletin in hopes that,i change fOrtlie better will occur shortly.‘The anxiety, which has been very intense all after noon, has certainly deepened a great deal in the last hour, and in this city, at least, the gravest apprehensions are entertained of a fatal issue. 745 P.

Di. &gnew, an eminent sur geon of Philadelphia, , says that, in his - judgment, there are some features in the President's case that are extremely encourageing. Among these is the fact that his kidneys and intestines are entirely uninjured, and capable of per forming their function„ The liver is lacerated to some extent, and the large nerves.leading from the. spine to the lower extremities have been so inju red as to cause the p•pin which the Presi dent refers to in his feet. The stomach however, -- Jetains nourishment, and the patient is slowly gathering strength to meet the secondary inflemation when it occurs. - As yet there is little evidence of it, and tiothiug' to indicate that it will be of extraordinary, strength or severity. Dr. Agnew regards the ...a it wutb nupe fulness. 12:20 P.
