They come quickly enough during excitement, At the {inauguration of Mr, Garfield four insane men turned up hero who wanted to bo inaug- urated, claiming to have been elected. Seven were arrested on tho day Mr. Hayes was inaugurated, An equal number wanted to take Gen, Grant's place at the first, and nearly a dozen on the occasion of his second inauguration,, Don't you remember whatan excitement the marrlage of Nellis Grant cro- ated? Well, FIVE OR SIX * CRANKS,’ one of whom paid about $50 for his railroad ticket, ranging !n nage from 30 to 60 years, came on here, each clatming tole the groom. ‘Two of them were sent to the Insane asylum the sane day, In the same ambulance, and thoy fought all the way over as to which one of them was the real groom, Durlngithoe oxcltement that followed the Nathan murder mystery, sixteen persons in all, in different parts of the country, confessed to being the murderer, In the exeltement that. took place during the consideration of the Intla- tion bill, as {t wascalled, we had over adozon ‘FINANCIAL CRANKS? come, and over a hundred wero already here, ‘They all kept reasonably quiet, except a de- mented New York Conuressinan, who rode about the streets increasing the circulating medium py throwing greenbacks out of his carringo in the streets, lum thers are four men wiio claim to ba Presidents, one or two Kings, one Queen, and thres inen who have dnancinl theories that thoy claim will save the country.

Whether Guiteau is insane or not,—and there is not aman in Washington who ean be found who will say that he is Insaue enough to cs- caps hanging,—it is certain that, there aro a great many lunatic tramps in' Washington. Yesterday two were discovered, one propos- ing to shoot Secretary Biaine, ag has already beon Indicated, He is lodged at St. Etiza- beth Asylum, Another wished to seo tha President instantly, at midnight, in order to cure him with some magic satve.

Arthur should follow him. THe was lodged in jail on a charge of drunkennoss, as unfortunately tha United States has pro- vided no statute wndor which any one can be punished for threatening to take tho life of the Chief Magistrate, or any other chief officer of the, Government. Another drunken tramp, just out of s barroom, was heard to say: “Next weok bigger doctors will bo needed In Washington than any that have come here now.” Thore are a great many curlous Instances of tramp life here.

THE PRESENT. SENSATIONAT, RUMORS. Aptetal. Dispatch to The Chicago Tyidune, Wasuinaton, D. C., July 6.—There was considerable stir in the vicinity of Fifteenth and F streets yesterday by the circulation of sensational rumors to the effect that an armed body of colored men had organized secretly for the purpose of lynching Guiteau in the event of the President’s death, and that it had been found necessary to provide a police escort to accompany Viee-President Arthur NO CONSPIRACY, ‘The report that detectives hil been sent to Washington to protect Vice-lresident Ar- thur from nssasination originated In the fact that some of Arthurs zealous friends did send detectives on the traln with htm from New York, but that, in the morning, when Arthur discovered it, he requested them to return. Every Investigation shows that the authorities have obtained nv evidence what- ever that 2 conspiracy exists, and that they believe that Guiteau was solely responsible for the nssasination. Attorney-General Mac- Vengh sald to-lny that there was nothing In the world in the papers of Gulteau that are withheld that hind not in . substance been already published, but that it was nd- yisnble to continue to withhold them until tho exelteiuent should in some measure sub- side, DistricteAttorney Corkiill said that the papers were withheld as much as any- thing for the renson that it would too much gratify tho cgotism of the brutal assasin to have them published. It has been learned that Guitenu, in his first Interview with the District-Attorney, REBUKED THE LATTER for having used strong Inngunge, on the ground that he (Gulteau) was » plous man, .and) that his ear was _of- tl i tha . ‘ treets to prevent assasinatlon, fended by such. statements, ‘Tha Dig- | Eirouel Pie street A trict-Attorney had uot hesitated to These stories were believed by many and telegraphed ns rumors, But there appears to linve been no foundation for them, ‘Tho police, who ure now almost unapproachable, would not say whether or not there was any basis for tho story, but, from higher authority, it was learned that they were inost probably false. ‘There Is no mys- tery elther about how or from whom Gul- teau secured money to purchase 118 PISTOL. {t was loaned to him bya gentleman resiitl- ing in the northwestern section of the city, who has been seen by the detectlyes, who discovered that he was but one more victim from whom Guiteau had borrowed money by tho use of lils peculiar peraunsive powers. Indeed, as the matter now stands, ail stories and theorles about plots and accomplices have been exploded. The detectives ana Se- eret-Service men who have chased down every clew and ‘suspicious circumstances have reported them without foundation, Not one of the many oflicers employed on the caso belleves that Guiteau had an accom- pilee, Guiteau still remains ~ AT THY JAMy and, by this time, has become accustomed to tho regulations of the institution, LHe cleans up his coll every morning as neatlyasthough hha had been there before, aud gats heartily of prison tare,—sowething he could not relish when first incarcerated. Le tulks readily to all who approggh him with the desire to converse, and is constantly In- auiring after the President’s condition. As soon 28 the nature of -the President’s in- juries became suflictently defined to enablo the District-Attorney to determine the legal grado of Gulteau’s crime, the prosecution will tako place In due form. So far as de- yeloped the case promises to be a very plain and simple one, without complications, either to law, fact, or circumstance, TUN UEPORT THAT 600 NEGROES have secretly banded together liere to lynch Guiteau, in the event that the President should die, may bo sensational, but it Is founded ona very serlous fact, The negro population In Washington may be called jovial and easy-going, but they are a vory simple, earnest, and sincere people. Ihave nover seen anything for years so profoundly affecting a3 the attack upon the President, Many talk of nothing else. In the midst of the excitement of the shooting, an eager Inquirer asked a mounted colored policeman whether the .assasin was white or black, With a tone of indignation which he could notrepress, the officer replied: “And do you expect thatany black iman would kill the President? No binck. man would kill the President, but there are thousands hore who, Itany daring man should start to wall through tho streets with n banner Inscribed, *Givo us the assasin!’? as it 1s reported. that the detectives have discovered was the pur- pose, that man would soon be joined by thousands of brave, resolute negroes, who would not be withheld by prison walls,” HOW QUITEAU BEARS HIISELF. “Tow does Guiteau bear himself in tho jail?” asked your correspondent this after- noon of a gentleman who secs tho ussasin dally, ¥Oh, he fs perfectly cool and collected In every respect except one, , Ife is In constant terror lest lie shall be lynched, That crayen fear of death at the hands of the people on account of his crime has pursued him ever since te committed it, and In dis cool calcn- lations beforehund ha appears to have been mainly concerned for biméelf on that so- count, It ought to be mentioned,” pronounce Guitenu, with some emphasis, as avillain.
