C., July 2-3 p. m.—The au- thorities found two letters upon the person of Guiteau, b esides the letter addressed to Gen, Sherman. One was a letter addressed to Byron Audrews, correspondent here of the Chicago In- ter-Ocean. The letter stated that the writer (Guiteau) did not know Andrews, but he kuew him as connected with a Stalwart journal, and contided to him » statement which accompanied the letter in a sealed package. That statement Guiteau wished Andrews to communicate to the world. Mr, Andrews first beard that there wasa letter addressed to him or that thore was such a person as Guiteau when at the City-Hall In search of some details about the prisoner. He was then brought before the District-Attorney and the Commis- stoners and sworn. He was shown the letter ad- dressed to him, but was not permitted to retain it, and was uot allowed to gee the sealed state- ment trom Guitenu addressed to himself. That etatementis to be withheld by the authorities, and is not to be made public at present. SECRETARY BLAINE, after leaving the President’s room a few mo- monts ago, said: “My God, itis terrible.” Mr. Blaine, in reply to inguiries whethor it was thought Guitean was a tool of auy conspirators, suid that be had no such thought. MAD AS A MARCH HARE. Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune. Wasuinaros, D. C., July 2.—An effort was made to secure an interview with the prisoner at the District Jail, but, as was to be expected, without success. From the Chief of Police it was learned that Col. Corkhill, the United States District-Attorney, had issued an order which was sent to the jail to allow no one to interview or have any communication whatever with the prisoner. Detective Voss, who was in charge of the prisoner, stated that on the way down to the jail they met an attaché of the White House who bad NOT YET WEARD OF THF ASSASINATION. The carriage was stopped and Deteegsve Voss asked Smith if he had heard that ihe /resident bad been shot. He treated the matter as a joke, and was Informed that it was unfortugately too true, and that the mun with the officers was tho assasin, Mr,Smitn atonce replied:. “ This is Guiteau. Why be has been here every day since tho 4th of arch when the President was here. He was there ull day yeaterday, and was as mad ‘as hell because the President could not sce him.” Ona the arrivalof Guiteau at the jail the party Was met by Gen. John S. Crocker, the Warden, to whom THE PRISONER WAS DULY TURNED OVER with the commitment, and this was accompanied by a letter from Col. Geurge B. Corkhitl, United States District Atturney, to tue Warden direct- ing that he should allow no person whatever to to see or hold communication with the prisoner, and to forbid even the suards and deputies from talking to him. On entering. Gen. Crocker's oiice Guiteau rather flippantly remarked to the Warden that he (the prisoner) had been at the jail last Saturday, but the people would not let him in. “I ’wanted to look over the place and sec where I would bave my quar- ters." All present were dumbfounded at the apparent insanity. or at least foolhardiness, but a few moments later, when he was taken inside, one of the keepers on seeing him atonce exclaimed: “I koow that mun, tHe was here a few days ago.” “Yes,” replied Guiteau, “and you wouldn’t let mein.” , Tho report that Guiteau was once Consul is untrue. Assistant-Secretary-of-Stute Hill says Guiteuu never had a foreign appoiatment, but he has been a persistent, almost daily, applicant: under this Administration.

The officers refused admittance to the + building, stating as a2 reason therefor that they were acting under instruétions received from the Attorney-General,—the purport of which were that no one should be allowed to sce the prisoner. At first, indeed, the officers emphat- ically denied that the man had been conveyed to jail, fearing, it appears. that, should the fact be made known that he was there, the building would be attacked bya mob. Information had ‘reached them that such & movement was con- templated, A LARGE GUARD, composed of regulars from the barracks and the Metropolitan Police Force, are momentarily expected tu arrive at the jail, to be in readiness torepel any attack, Tho statement that the assasin is Guiteau was verified by the olficer in charge of the jail.

Take me to the po- lice station.’ Of course this was simply tho bravado of an insane man, and the most natural explanation of the motive of his act is that he has been so long out of employment, and had persistently tried to secure appointment witb- out success, that ho had become so bankrupt both in pocket, in influence, and in charactor, that ho fancied the President to be his especial enemy and the cause of all bis sorrows and trouble. He has for months been a persistent applicant at the State Department for an ap- ointment as Consul, and bas recently SENT SECRETARY BLAINE SEVERAL DENUN- CIATORY LETTERS, bitterly complaining of the Administration's neglect in not favorably recognizing his appli- tion, A gentleman who conversed with the esidcnt’s oldest son as be sat in carriage the depot states that he suid: ‘Father is not badly hurt as supposed.

As he came ont he said that there was a Strong hope that the naturally vicorous constitution of the -President would bring him t through. THE PRISONER was removed as quickly as possible to jail in a close carriuge, in which were seated Lieuts. Austin and Ecxloff, Detective Mc&lfres, hand ‘Otficer Lewis. Guiteau talked freely, and said what he had done was for the good of the ie- publican party and the country. He had nothing against President Gartield, but wanted Arthur to be President. Just before the carriage reached the jail it was stopped by Mr. Bud Smith, a watchman at the White House, who identified the prisoner as a man who bad been lurking uround the buildmg for sev- eral days past. Upon being asked about this, Guiteau sald: *I went in to sce Garfield Friday, and he told me he could not attond to my busi- ness then as he was golog away the next day. Yesterday I suid to him, “ Mlaybe YQU DON’T LEAVE THE CITY as soon’as you think." While being stripped in the rotunda of the jail one of the guards said: ‘I have seen this man over here before.’ Guiteau quickly replied, ‘I was not under arrest, with recommendations from various parties in Tillnois to secure the United States Cousuisnip to Marseilles, France, He went in March to the ell-koown boarding-house of Mra.

About tho middle of the month when she presented his bill he could not pay it. He afterwards left the house and sent Mrs. Lockwood a note stating that he was expecting a $0.00 position, and would soan pay his bill." Mrs. Lockwood showed. this note to Gen.

Three weeks ago he met Mrs. Ricksford, of Mrs. Lockwood's boarding-house, on the strect, und requested her not to say anything about the bill he made, as it would hurt him In bis efforts to secure a position.

IN A SPEECH delivered in New York on Aug. 6, 1880, Guiteau said: “In 1861 there lived at Galena, in my own native State of Iilinois,a gust inodest man. He bad graduated at West Point. He bad seen ser- vice in Caliornia and Oregon. He had tasted Revert yund distress in St. Louis and Gaiena. When President Lincoln called for 75,000 troops to suppress the incipient rebellion Cypt. Grant determined to offer his services to the Govern- nent, and went to Springtield and interviewed Gov. Yates, Aftersome delay he was givena position, and Healy was sent jnoto the field asa Colonel. Little by littic he arose, till he became General of the National Army. From Galena through the Wur to the White House wus buta step. From the White House around the globe he was the recipient of the xroatest ovations EVER GIVEN TO MORTAL MAN. Another such prosperity would have crazed most men, but it did not Grant.

When tho War came he was President of 2 small college In Ohio, and promptly offered his services to the Government in SUPPRESSING THE REBELLION. After neurly three years’ service he was made a Major-General. He was then elected to Con- gress,and has held that position ever since. His long services in some of the most impor- tant committees show that he is a square man and can be implicitly trusted..Some peopie said he got badly soiled in that Credit-Sobilier transaction, but I guess he is clean-handed. Last winter ho was elected to the Duited States Senate in place of Senator Thurman, and to-day he is the Republican nominee for the Presi- dency, with every prospect of success.

At the end of the month hé told Mrs, Grant that the failure of an expected remittance of $200 made it impossible for him to pay her anything, and by plausi- ble stories, postponed payment until day before © yesterday, when he sneaked away. He was not expelled for nonpayment as has been stated, but sneaked away of bis own accord to avoid impending ex- uision. Guiteau is: represented by his fellow- Boarders to bea reticent, stealthy sort of a fel- low, who madeno friencs or acquuintunces, and spent a large portion or his time loafing in the [cPherson squure. : A speech is recalled which was made by Guiteau after the nominating Convention. In it he expresses his satisfaction with the numina-. tion ot Garileld. He came to the Riggs House day before yesterday and registered as from Chicago. He did not sleep there, but left his few eifects, some unimportant.

He has no special profession, but has been an officeholder and officeseeker. Col. Ingersoll is of the opinion that hisinsdhity is feigned. The as- sasin’s resolution to murder President Garfield was perfectly intended by .the close watch he kept on the movements of his Excellency tor the past few days.

CHICAGO. THE:SCOUNDREL A CHICAGOAN. It was one of tho most pitiableof the thoughts connected with the sad tragedy of yesterday in the minds of many who knéw the essasin that it | should be a person like Charles Jullus Guiteau, whom they had ‘known ‘for.’ many -years, ag,a bhystering lowyer, a, hotel; dead-beat, and a re- . ligious monomaniac and swindling collector of claims, who had the power to interfere thus with the Nation's destiny, to plunge the country into mourning, to paralyze the Government for the time being, and, perbapa, to pave the way to future and interminable -complications. - It seemed tobe the very mockery of fate that 8 man like this, despicable. and despised, Bit ‘live ut tho Gault House, but ing-houses, and newspaper offices of Chicago should be the chief actorin suchascene. Chi- cago had no reason at any time to feel proud of Mr. Guiteau, and is grieved beyond measure now that he should ever have claimed citizen-° ship here. Mr. Guiteau ts a man now 39 yearsof age. He was born in Freeport, IL, where nis father—the cashier ofa bank, for many years, but now dead—was a respected citizen. He studied in Ann Arbor, and went from there to the Oneida Community in New York. His fatber was a believer inf the doctrines of the peculiar people of whom Mr. Noyes was the head, and the young man had read much in earlier days of the literature of the Community. His life there, however, was neither very lung nor a very. happy one. He was uowilling to work, and finally left the Community, demand- ing the return of the $700 which he ‘had put into ‘the common fund when he entered the Community there. ‘This was at first refused him, and in 1868 he began a suit against the Community for the «. RECOVERY OF THIS MONEY. Finally, with the aid of Mr. George Scoville, the lawyer, of this city, who had married his sister, he succeeded in getting some of it_back, and, after a very brief residence in New York, he came on to this city, where he appeared in 1869 93 2 lawyer, otficing at No. 60 Lu Salle street. ‘The folowing year he moved his quarters to No. 101 Dearborn street, stili professing to be a law- yer. Attbis period he-gut into trouble with tho Young Men’s Library, from which he was charged with stealing’ some books. He was prosecuted, but was ucquitted, and afterwards brought suit aguinst the Association. Towards the close of 1870 be married 2 youny lady in this elty and moved with herto New York, where they lived unhappily for 2 few months, and sho finally got a divorce from him on account of bis cruelty and ill-treatment. He remuined in New York until the latter partof 1874. Dunag his residenco there he ot into difficulty of account of his cheating the hotels out of their board- bills, was fwprisoned in Ludlow Street Jail, and was released only by the exertions: of his brother-in-law. In 1875 be was back in the city, officing at No. 176 Fifth avenue, and living fora time at the Clifton House. Failing to pay his bill at this hotel, us be hud failed to pay it ut so many others, he was summarily ejected. The following year he was over at No. M7 La Salle street. and was making an effort to » was put out of there for his peculluritics. During this year he went to New York und xgain resumed the practice of the Jaw there. Owing to his Ir- regularities when intrusted with the collection of debts,—tor he collected bisshare tirst and then let hisclieatdo the reat of the collecting for bimself,—ne was written up. extensively by tho New York Herald, his practices being com- mented on in very unfavorable terms, After this article he sued the paper for $100,000, and in October of that year returned to Chicago. In January, 1877, he broke out with his retizious intuia. He had conceived the idea that the sec ond coming of Christ occurred at the time ot the destruction of Jerusalem, and. that we were now living under the new dispensation. He tried to enforce these doctrines through lectures delivered in tho .city, and through pamnblets and books which- he printed. In uly of that year he was arrested on a charge of embezziement,—failing to turn over money which he had been employed to collect,— and was sentto the Couaty Jail, but was re- leased on the 28th of July, the Grand Jury fail- ing to tind an tndictment ayainst him.. After that be again delivered his lectures at various points throughuut the country, and In Septem- ber, 1877, was over in Detroit, Mich. Here he tried to Steal away without ‘paying bis board- Dill,, was arrested in the interior of the State, and, while being taken back to Detroit in the cars, jumped from the train and escaped. It was at rst thought that he had been killed, but this, unfortunately, turned out to be unerror. In 18i¥ he was back. in the city, officing at No. 93 Rundolph street, and employed as un insurance agent. HIS DISHONESTY, HOWEVER, drove him out of the business, and he spent his time, from that period till the time of the mur- der, in wandering around the country, secking todeliver bis lectures, turning up occasionally at bis brother-in-law’s house for the purpose of Raog some clean clothes and a decent meal. uring the Nationul campaixn inst year he sud~ denly appeared in New York, at the headquur- ters of the National and Stat Com- mittees, He nad meddied in polities to some little extent here, and on this occasion transferred his activity to a broader sphere. He produced a printed speech which he said he had delivered at various points, and tried to get money and a position from. the Committee. After President Gartield’s inauguration, he wandered to Washington in quest of a Consul- ship, his claim being the political services he bad rentered during tho campaign. He also bore with hima petition sigued by one or two peuple of this city, who had put their names to the document simply in order to get rid of him, and without being aware of the rascalily features in the man’s character. He hung around there all through the spring montas, but returned to this city in May, staid a few ys, and then, on the Ist of dune, left again for Washingron.’ He purchased the ticket that dayat the ollice of thé Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, at No. 8 Clark street. Ke acted quite. rationally at . that time and showed no signs of insanity. All © that is known of him since then js in the Washington dispatches, where mention is made of his having been observed hanging around the White Mouse for some days. An idea of the man’s persona! appearance can be gained by the cut, published in this morning's TRIBUNE, which was made from a photograph taken by E. L. Brand, of this city. It will not surprise those familinr with Guiteau’s ways When they are in- formed that Mr. Brand nevergwas puld for his photograph. HIS .BROTHER-IN-LAW. z Mr. George Scoville, of Chicago, is the brother- in-law of the assasin, having married his eldest sister some thirty years ago. Mr. Scoviile is one of Chicago's oldest lawyers, and was until the panic of 1876-'17 in the enjoyment of a lucrative practice. Ho was found by a TRIBUNE reporter on a Madison street car yesterday, and wanted to know the initials of the assasin’s name, Tue Tribune man replied “Charles J.” “I feared so,” said Mr. Scoville, “the namo being an unusual one. He is, as you know, my brother-in-law, and is now about 35 years of age. Ihave not seen him for two years.”’ “Have you ever noticed any evidences of dementia or insanity in Guiteau’s conduct,” Mr. Scovilie was asked. “Yes, sir. He has always been a religious moaomaniae; but the better way to explain “matters would be to permit me to tell all I know about-tim.’ “Mr. Scoville continued: “In 1861 or 1862 Charles was attending school at Ann Arbor, Mich. His father, Luther J. Guiteau, of Freo- port, was a firm believer in the doctrines espoused by the Oneida Community ot New York State, subscribed for their newspapers, read their books,—in fact, desired to join the Community, but his secona wife would not listen. toit. These books and paper were always lying before the children, and it is not at all singular they would become imbued more or less with their father's views on the Oneida question. Well, Charles concluded that he had enough of Ann Arbor, and desired to join the Oneidu folks. His father gave him about $700, and he ran away from sthool, and to the Oneida Commuuity he went. “But there was too much variance between theory and practice in free-love to please the young man. Work,he would not. So after he had been there four or five years he commenced writing to me to help him out of the scrape. 7 did so at nis earnest sulicitation. The Oneida people disliked the idea of losing Brother Charlies, as they called him, but I got about $400 of his money for him, and HE BADE GOOD-BY TO THE COMMUNITY FOREVER.” “What was the next move?” queried the re- porter. “He went to New York, sir; and, having given the matter much thought, came to the conclu- sion that people ate too much. Crackers and water, he said, were good enough for anybody, and he ate crackers and. drank water to his heart's content. He was engaged in publishing 8 religious newspaper in New York. The cnter- prise did not prove remunerative, and, after spending the pittnnce gotten for him from the Community folks, he engaged tn the practice of the law. His method in the management of busi- ness was very devious. He was a collector of bad debts on the shares. He munaged to collect his half first, and then told Sir. Client to help himself to the other half. About'’ this time tho New York Herald gave bim a most unmerciful scoring with regard to his collections. Guiteau sued the paper for libel. . “ By this time it was pretty generally under- stood that Charles was of unsound mind. In fact, he was a religious monomaniac, impressed with the iden that be was an evangelist, destined vo be Moody’s successor, and aired his- peculiar religious views in lectures ail over the country. ‘The attendauce at the lectures was «lways slim, hence the owners of the halls and hotels where he stopped necessarily suffered. *# Ig September, 1877, Guiteau lectured in Jack- 800, Mich., beat his hall rent and hotel bill and “went to Detroit, ..In the latter.city he'was ar- rested for swindling and started back to Jackson in custody of an officer. “While near Ypsilanti Jumpé but in the course of acouple of months he ap- peared in Washington, D. C., selling lectures.” “He has had ‘numerous’ interviews with the ‘ stony-hearted jailers’ throughout the country, has he not?” asked Tue TRrBusE man. “Indeed he has,” sald Mr. Scoville. “He was fanatic on the subject of beating hotels. Several years ago be stopped fors week atthe 3 St. Nicholas Hotel, In New York. When his bill was presented Charles promised to pay up at once, instead of which he decamped. This made the hotel people mad, and they had Charles’ rec ord looked-up. It was found thst he had Sponyed off nearly all the hotels ana leadine boarding-houses in New York. At one place he had given « worthless check in settlement of his board bili Charles was arrested, charged with swindiing, and locked up iu the Tombs, After he had been confined for about six weeks I went to New York and secured his. release upon con- dition that I should keep him out of that city. “ His adventures in Chicago are well Known, He sued two or three papers hero for libel, but, never fot anything, because he had no ground of action. * THE LAST I HEARD OF HDL he was soliciting insurance for the Chicago & Northwestern Life-Insurance Company of Mil- waukee, and selling bis lectures also.” Why, @ man woutd give him the price of a lecture toget rid of him, “ One day, here in Chicago, HE WENT TO 0. W. GOIT, the coal dealer, and insisted on his tak- ing three or four lectures. Goit, of course, did not want them, but finaly told Churles he would take hulf u'dozen upon con- dition that he would agree to sells dozen to Hobert Law, another well-known coal-dealer. sold Mr. Luw quite a bundle of religious literu- ture. This was the way be wande! throogh the country. We always considered him of very uasound mind but not. dangerous. He never did but one thing that would look at alias if he was inclined to be violent. It was this: Ona day be mude his appearance at. our country house in Wisconsin in rags. We dressed him up, and after a few days Mrs. Scoville asked him ta do some little act around the house,—I forget what it was. The request iucensed Charics “very much, and he drew a- hatches as if tostrike her. Mrs. Scoville wanted him confined in an asylum, but the family objected, his lunacy being.regarded by them as harmless. Everybody who knows him will tell you he is a religious monomaniac.” “Was he ever in Government employ, Mr. Scoville.” “No, sir, never in the world. He was never Consul to Marseilles or any other place. -T daro say he told such a story to the officers when ar- rested. His father and mother are dead, and ho has.a divorced wife who has remarried and is living in Leadville. ‘Her maiden name was Annie Nunn, She was a resident of Chi ‘a HIS NIECE’S STORY. - Miss Fanny Scoville, Guiteau’s niece, remem- bered many singular and interesting circum- stances in the life of her now notorious uncle. She saia that as a boy he was called “very queer,” and as 8 man was looked upon as being erazy and visionary, He had come when a mere bey to live with her father and mother (bis sister), his own mother having died and bis father having married again. Although acknowledged to have been very odd in his ways, the boy had been called very brixht and Promising, it belng predicted when he left Freeport, Ill, where he was born, to come to Chicago, that he would surely become famous some day (as he has). He has always objected to manual labor, ‘but never tried to shirk study or any other mental task to which he might be put. He had studied law with Sir. Scoville, and had been admitted to the barsome eight orten years ago, but he has never practiced at the profession much, and had always shown a disposition to wander about the country, never Iosing an opportunity to travel. as soon as he got hold of a little money. AMONG HIS MANY PECULIARITIES wasagreat fear of dogs. On ore occasion he had been asked to carry a noisy little puppy from a sick-room, and had refused to touch the harmless creature, declaring that he did not want hydrophobia. He would borrow money and never think of paying it back except by miving his worthless note,and then appearing to think that all his responsibility in the matter ended. While entirely dependent upon his brother-in-law for support, he was eternally giving his advice as to how the household and other family matters should be conducted. He was continually about religion, and about doing something to make him- self famous; and he also had a way of threatening to kill people when they opposed. him in discussion. He once made the observa- tion that * there were two men in the world ~ HE WOULD LIKE TO KILL, ~" * and George Scoville wus one of them,” and yet George Scoville had done more for him than any one else in the world. Once, while he was with the family up in Wisconsin, he threatened to Kill his sister with an ax, guing so far a8-to rusb upon her with the weapon upraised fo-his bands. She fled from bim, and was not‘ hi and Guiteau appeared before her a few minutes ater as though nothing had happened. ; It was while he was up in Wisconsin that Guiteau's re- latives bad him examined by Dr. Rice, who pro- nounced him “insane but harmless.” Not long ago he went to New’ York, and wasarrésted there for not paying his .board bitl, Mr. Scoville finding it necessary to visit New York and effect the release of the young man. Du: the sum- mer preceding the great fire Guiteau, then about % years old, met and formed an attach- ment for the Indy librarian of the ¥. M.C. A. She was his senlor by several years, but she consented to marry him, and the newly-married pair lived’ with . Mr. Scovilie’s family durmg the honeymuon. Then they went to keeping house, then to quarreling, and; finally, after they had been married about a year, they went to New York and procured a | divorce. Guiteau left the Scoville family about two years and Miss Scoville says that the last they beard from him he had Jectured in Boston on the second coming of Christ, ana wag about to start for England to labor thereas are- vivalist. Before tnat he had lectured on relig- fous subjects inismali towns throughout thig State. Miss Scoville also said that her uncle had always entertained a ridiculous and child- ish fear of tirearms, to such an extent in fact that it was looked upon 3 one proof.of the un soundness of his mind. And one other fact worth mentioning is, that Guiteau’ was said by Miss Scoville tohave been a great admirer of Conkling, often asserting with the greatest as- surance that “Conkling would be the next President.” CRAZY WITH LOVE. Among other interesting incidents whic marked Guiteau’s career in Chicago was one wherein he figured as a rejected and supremely ridiculous lover, the fairone of whom hebecame enamored, but who refused to reccive his atten- tions, being a charming young Iady.of. thia city, whose father is one of its wealthy and highly-re- spected physicians. Gujteau metthe younglady at North Lake, Wis. about four years ago, atm time when he was stopping with the family of his brother-in-law, Mr. Scoville, who owned a farm or summer residence near Noith Lakes Guiteau, after meeting the iady by chance, at once left the house of his relative and-secured an spartment in the same house where the object of his suddenly-acquired passion was stopping with her parents. She stated after- ward that Guiteau’s appearance and mannerg impressed her and her parents so very unfavor- ably that they at once decided not to receive himasa visitor. But the fellow was remarka- bly persistent and really annoying in his en- deavors to force himself upon the young lady's society. Being positively denied that privilege, he ree sorted to the plan of writing ‘her ‘the most amatory epistles, the impasstoned tone of which was relloved occasionally by = short dissertation on religious subjects.
