GUITEAU'S CONFESSION. Gultean’s confession puts at rest tho insan- uy theory. It shows eal deliberation, the low cunning of an ordinary villain, and that long and uninterrupted adhesion to n care: fully formed purpose whleh fs rarely {f ever possible to tho mind of a lunatic. It follows that he formed tha murderous purpose 31x weeks before Its attempted uxcention. Ie thon possessed nelthor-a pistol or money with which to buy one. He borrowed money on tho plea that he wanted to pay his board- bill, and with the money obtained under false pretenses on the’ th ot. June pure chased a pistol, On tha same day he tested the plstol and his own powers of marks- manship by shooting at atarget. He wiped tho pistol dry, and) took the oxtraordinary preeaullon of wrapping it in his cout to keep {tin goowt condition, ‘Three weeks before tho shooting he began to watch and dog the fuotstups of the Prusident. From his post of observation in Lafayette Park he saw the President Jeayo the Executive Mansion for ehureh, whereupon ha returned to his roont, obtained his pistol, and repatred, to the church, Io entered the church, but, finding he could. not shoot with- out endangering .some other Ife than that. of his Intended victim, desisted, for the tine being, from the execution of his purpose, But he observed that the! Presi- dent's sont was near the window, Accord- ingly after service he mado 1 critical examl- nation of the window, and concluded that he could shoot the President in the head with- ont killing any other person, On the follow- ing Wednesday he made a second examinn- tion of the’church window, which confirmed Ms previous: opinion of ‘the fensibility of shooting from the windew without endyn- gurtng any life but that of tho tntentded victim, and resolved to make the attempt on the following Sunday, But ho Jearned that tho President would leave town on Saturday, aud ho tooka new resolution—namely: to kil him at the depot. On thatinerning hig pur- pose was very dendly. IIe rose at 5 o'clock, aud, to be sure that Is pistol was In good order aud that hig alm should be t rue, fired fiva shots xtamark. When the Pyesident entered tho dupot, the would-be assasin was walting for hin, but “Mrs, Gariteld looked su weak and frall’? that le lost heart, and. ao deferred the execution of his inurderous purpose; « ” On the Wednesday preceding tha . shooting ho watched the Exeeutiva Mansion, saw the President emerge from it, followed him to Secretary Iiuine’s house, retreated to an’ allay lest discovery should overtake him, ex- aintned his" pistol,. and walted, Whonthe Preallent emerged from the house he was accompanied by the Secretary, and the guilty wretch followed thei to the steps of the Ex: ceutiva Manston without sceuring » favora- Dis opportunity to commit the proposed act ofmurdor, On the morning of the shooting Guitean was apparently more ‘eatin, more deliverate than at any hour of the previous alx weeks, He preakfasted nt 7% o’elock, watched the Executive Mansion an hour fron the park, and thenrepnired to the depot to walt hls opportunity. He swas content with the vertainty of his alm; practice had satisfied him on that point, But he was anxious about the condition of his pistdl, Ile hud) tiken tho unusual precau- tlon, of wrapping the weapon in paper fo prevent the nersplration of his body. fram dampening tho powder, He enterest the water-closul, unwrapped the paper, examined the pistol carefully, tried the trigger, and thon assumed the position; from which the shooting was done, While the President was stugxering to his fall from the first shot the villain fired asecond to be sure of hls murderous purpose, and then, whin selzed, ua he was Instantly, he showed complete sulf-possussion by the oxclamations of on- trenty,—"' Don’t let them hurt ime; take me to the jal! quick 1” Anall this thore Is not one solitary sign of miontal derangement or of any species of: hatluctiution, Guitenu claimed nn office from the Presl- dont on the spoils theory hat he was enti- tled to it as n compensation for services, ron- dered tn the campalgu. : This claim was not baged on an itluston, Gultear had supported -Garileld, had prepared s speech In hls favor which was published, Whother tho speech exerted any Influence lias nuthing to do yith tho qpestion of its author's sanity, It wapa realfuctot the situation,‘ That tho President, had power to glye Guitedu an office was an- othor real fuel of the situation; that he re fused to do so was a third real fact, — It fol- Jows that Quitcau’s nulnd was jufluenceil by actual clreumstances and reat fucte, and ot by a delusion, eet ‘Thore are many items of cyidonco going ta show that Guileau watched the political sit- Wation with absurbing attention, Ib fs under stoud that up to the thne of Judge Rovurte son's -Nowlnation he supported the Preal- dent's side of the controversy with Str, Cank- ling, ‘Phat hls attitude was purely seltish.of course does not admit a donbt; he hoped te obtain an\appointnent, But after’ dudgo Robertson’s nomination he seeps to havo ~ehanged front, 14 fa sald that le wrote an: abusive letter to Secretary Blulne declaring that he ought to be pub out of tne Cabluet, Jt fe ensy to analyze the operations of Guiteau’s mind, Ue had oxtiausted: all chances of obtaining an office directly from. the Presidunt, aud he resolyed to joln the President's enemles, Seeretary Dialne was Ditterly assailed as the Pyesident’s evil SATURDAY, JULY 16, 1881—SIXTEEN PAGES. renius, as tho instigntdt of the Gartield- Conkting contest, and Guitean reflected {his kentimont fn assauiting’ tha Secretary of State with stupid, cdarso abuse, At tls potnt he tind doubtless abandoned alt hopa of obtalning a foroign Consulship, but he lind not yot resolved {o Hill the President. On tho Hth of May.-the Gartuld-Conkiing contest reached a climax fn tho resignation of the latter. The unparalleled proceeding created s profound sensation on the 10th when ft became public In Washtngton, and, two days laler—on the 18th—Guitean says ho resolved to Kill the ‘President. He was inn state of mind to comé to, such a resolution on yory small provocation, Me had becn forel- bly ejected from the Executive Manston, lis claim for nn offes had been rudety disre- garded, and in his rage he had utterly de- stroyet nuy possible hops of sttecess ho tight still have had by writing a grossly abusive letter to .the Premier, ‘iho exceedingly hostile attitude of a great fac tion of the Republican party towards the Ad- ministration, and the unprecedented net of its leader in resigning from the Sennte, may well hayo operated upay Guitean's mind to bring it to Sts murderons conclusion. But this does not relteve the woutd-bo assasin of one fota of responsibility for the act of shooting, nor tloos it attach a particle of re- sponsibility to anybody ola. It toes, how- ever, reflect seriously upon the spolls system which produced the emergency, which In turn resulted in the resignation of Senator Conkling. And It furnishes cumulative evl- dence in support of the theory of Gulteat’s perfect sanity: for here again it appenrs that ho acted upon aatual cirewmatinces and yeatfacts, He labored under no “deluston’’; ils mind was not “distempered by fallacious fhinagas.” Disappotntment polsoned his mind with malignant passions, and he made no effort to hold them in check, On the con- trary, he selzed upon a public event, wrested it from Its normat conditions, and tortured tt into nn inducement tu perpetrate a deed of ntroclty. more or less, In one wol erioulture Is the basis and the gauge of prosperity in this country, and nslirinkage In the production of grain ontatls a certain amount of shrink- ago in values all around.

Tho struggle is: already becoming 80 genbral and so cager:hs almost to rival tho Enstorn question in Importance, ‘and Is pushed so vigorously by explorers on the one hand and political intrigues on the other that It 1s only n question of time how soon Inter national interosts will conflict and delicate auestions arise that will demand Immediate consideration and settlement, The work of exploration docs not fare well, Several of the uxplorard: and ‘agents of tha German, French, and Italian geographical ‘ suctetios have recontly died, among thom Hildebrandt, Cegsl, and Glultetti, either succumbing to the effects of the climate or perishing as victins to tha implacable hostility of lbesavage tribes fn thointerlor, Under such elremmnstances as these the work of exploration naturally langulshes for lack ot enters. Tha detl- cluney im this direction, however, is amply Bupplled by the activity in political clreles and the general polley.of grab which has been Inaugurated, and which at the present rato of progress will soon necessitate a re- construction of the maps uf Africa, especial- ly north and onst of the Grent Desert, It be-, ing generally. conceded that south of the Euuntor England’s foothold cannot be dis- turbed, Franeo: lias already substantially annexed ‘Tunis, and the progress of affalrs in Tripoll is so much Ike the early stages of tha French movements in the ‘Cuntslan matter that one is at least warranted In the assuinption that Tripoli will be the next victim. ‘I'he great military netivity In France and the reported mobilization of troops for service fn North- ern Airlea all point the same way. These reports “were denied almost as soon ng they wera made, but it should be remembered that the Fronch ue nied every report that was mado ns to their Intentions upon Tunis, so that no great aniount of rellance can be placed upon thelr prosunt disclaimers, ‘Tho world will he much mora likely to. beliaye that they aro golug to take Tripoll away fram Turkey than that thoy are not. In still another direction Franco has put, ina elain whieh brings En- tland, Maly, and herseit face to face ino conflict for commercial supremacy at the mouth of the Red Sea and across the Indian Ocean, - England holds possession of the Hourishing City of Aden on the Arablan sido ‘of the mouth and nearly opposit te It, Italy In 1879 took possession o£ Assab, ani! now comes Franco and revives nn old claim to tho Bay of Obuck, which it bought in 1863, ‘These three localities, forming a trinngle the sides of whieh aro but n yery few miles apart, In tho hands of three different Gov- ernments,- have ,alrendy aroused greas Jealousy in England, and the struggle for supremacy bids fair to commence at once.
