Camp- bell, the tramp who mysteriously got into the President's grounds yesterday morning, was —— inthe Police Court this morning with ‘ing @ vagrant, a person of evil life and fame, a suspicious person, having no fixed place of re- sidence, and unable to give a good account of himself. Officer Cunningham testified that about 8:30 o'clock yesterday morning he found this man in the President's srounds, and ag there is @ policeman and a soldier at eath gate, and no one is admitted without a pass, his pres— ence there wasa mystery. Witness asked him what he was doing there, and he said that he ‘was a high-toned gentleman and had as much right there as any d——d man in the country, and got very indignant on being questioned as to who he was and where he came frem. He was dressed in an iron gray suit. with a very dirty white shirt and a large plughat. He put | on some style and was indignant at being or Mis- | A WELL ATTENDED PUBLIC MEETING—CAPITOL HILL VERSUS THE NAVY YARD—SOME LIVELY REMARKS—EAST CAPITOL STREET BEATEN. The interest in the location of the Capitol HiN branch post office manifested itself last night by one of the largest and most demon- strative public meetings ever held on Capito! Hill. The meeting was held at Washington Hall, at 8 o'clock, and before the doors were large crowd assembled on . When the meeting was called to order there were fully 250 men and one Jady (Mrs. Brigzs) in the hall. Postmaster Ain- ger and his assistant, Mr. Parker, were present during the earlier part of the meeting, but re- | mained in the rear of the hall. They slipped | out unobserved before the proceedings were | half over. Mr. Thos. Somerville called the meeting to order, stating thatits object was to give some expression of the views of the citizens regarding the location of the branch post office. Upon Mr. Somerville’s nomination, Dr. C. M. Ford was chosen chairman, and armed with an ice-pick as a gavel, that gentleman displayed much vigor as a presiding officer. Mr. T. B. Marche was elected secretary. ONE OF TWO SITES. Mr. Geo. F. Harbin stated that he had under- stood that the postmaster had decided upon one of two sites—3d and B streets, or 3d and East Capitol streets—a statement which he made to show the folly of discussing other possible sites at this meeting. A motion was made in favor of the 3d and B street site, and amended in favor of the 3d and East Capitol streets. Capt. Grant moved that half an hour be given for debate. The chair stated that he was sure every one had made his mind up, and thought the meeting could settle the matter in fifteen minutes by voting without debate. Captain Grant was sure everybody there had something to say about the matter. A long diseussion—during which numerous motions and amendments were offered—arose upon the method of voting upon the question of sites, and it was finally decided that voting should be by pale each voter appending his residence to his allot. Messrs. Mason, Fuller and Geo. Harbin were appointed tellers. Amid the confusion that here arose Captain Grant sprang to his feet and wanted to know if a trap was to be sprung upon the meeting anda vote taken without discussion ? The chairman assured him that no trap wasto be sprung. A motion was carried establishing the ‘‘five- minute” rule ané limiting the entire discussion to half an hour. A CHARGE OF A PACKED MEETING. Mr. Hawkins Taylor said there were 10,000 people in East Washington and perhaps 6,000 voters, and he wanted to knowif the postmaster would take the voice of that meeting—a packed meeting—as the voice of these people. This speech created quite a sensation and much con- fusion. Capt. Grant also denounced it as a packed meeting. He did not think the post- master would dare to be controlled by such a meeting, which had been called by a. few people interested in one particular site, surrounded by grog-shops, where no decent lady would dare to pass. He handed in a petition sent to ile poe: master that day to the secretary to be read. It was a protest against the location of the branch office south of Capitol street. Capt. Grant's remarks were known to be di- rected against the 3d and B street sites and they were greeted with hisses by the advocates of that site, and the chairman had to pound the table vigorously before he could restore order. Mr. John W. Thompson immediately appeared as an advocate of 3d and B streets. He was no rum mill bummer, he said; he had lived here for 35 years, and bore a reputation as fair as any gentleman there; the gentleman (Capt. Grant) had always opposed the interests of Bast Wash- ington. [Sensation on Capt. Grant’s side.} Capt. Grant, rising, remarked that what Mr. Thompson said was false. The chair here demanded that PERSONALITIES BE DROPPED. Mr. Thompson, resuming his remarks, said that East Washington was not Capitol Hill. He had no axes to grind. He demanded to know if any gentleman coming along Pennsylvania av- enue would want to leave that common thor- oughfare to go to East Capitol street for his mail. Capt. Grant hi x charged as an evi- dence that the meeting was packed, that whereas | the meeting was called in a dodger at 7 o'clock, the doors were not opened till after 8 o'clock. Mr. J. Swormstedt, the owner of the hall, said that some gentlemen had secured the hall and advertised the meeting to be held at 8 o'clock. Other gentlemen then came to him and said they were going to hold a meeting, and got out the dodgers, calling a meeting at 8 o'clock. In order that no injustice might be done, he had instructed the janitor not to open the doors until 8 o'clock. Dr. Geo. Gross spoke for East Capitol street and Mr. Wm. Beron for a site near the Eastern market. The half hour for discussion having expired, the time was extended 15 minutes. GEN. HILL AROUSED. Gen. E. N. Hill, of Arkansas, here arose and said that he did not propose to sit still in this ll one minute and have his wife and daughter sulted by any man, even if his hair was whiter than mine, and his remarks were addressed to that old man (Capt. Grant), who said no re- spectable woman would pass that corner. Mr. Fuller wanted to know if a government mail wagon should back up to the place ofa man who kept a grocery store and not to his house. Was Pennsylvania avenue more of a thorough- fare than East Capitol street? Did the men who went up and down Pennsylvania avenue shout- ing “Sweet Potatoes!” “Green Corn!” have to lave a post office near them to rush up and post their letters. Col. Case inquired what the distance was be- tween 3d and B streets and 3d and East Capitol streets. He thought it was all nonsense to dis- cuss the matter. His choice, however, was 3d and East Capitol streets. Mr. Harbin spoke for 3d and B streets. CAPT. GRANT AGAIN. Capt. Grant, who had been clamoring for the floor for some time, and who had been denied the privilege under the provisions of the “five minute” rule, was here again recognized. He said that the petition in favor of 3d and East Capitol streets had been signed by one thousand people, and if the canvassers had had another week they could have gotten five thousand names. Mr. Marche said his name had appeared there without his consent. He also defended the “sweet potato men,” who, he said, had as much right to , be’ considered as the government clerk. ‘One of the canvassers sprang wi and shouted: “If the gentleman in- timates that I wrote his name, he says a thing that is not so.” Mr. Marche reiterated his state- ment, but the chairman sored farther pro- coon . The meeting lly proceeded to 0 ythe chats ‘was announced by the chaifman to be in favor of 3d and B streets, by a vote of 157 to 86. Capt. Grant arose and said a reliable and honest gentleman hadinformed him that he (the reliable and honest gent) had voted six times, and he demanded that the vote be referred back to the tellers. Some one in the hall called out to have the Captain produce his reliable gentleman. Messrs. ‘ord, Marche, Somerville, DeLand, and F charged with vazrancy. He asked to be hearts | Thompson, were appointed a committee to com- and stated that he hailed from Philadelphia and has only been here a few days, and thought he hadaright to goto the President's house to find out how he was. The court sent him down to the workhouse for 30 days, and in the mean- time there will be an arrangement made to send him two bulletins per day about the President's condition. —_.-—-- Tue Crow-Pecutic Curtixe Casr.—Yester- i, who was cut by Charles Crow returned to his home, on near H street.

Mr. Caswell, intendant of the Wash- A has addressed a communication = the je Commissioners, inclosing a ipping from a morning paper reflecting on him (Caswell) for turning ont on the poco th an in- mate, who had been committed there, named Juiian Smith, suffering under the influence of mania potu, stating that there is not one iota of truth in the articie, and requesting an inv. - tion as to the authority of the statements made, He also incloses a statement of Dr. L. Eliot, resident physician at the asylum, reciting the circumstances of the patient's arrival there, treatment, &c.; that he was not crazy, but as rational as any man; that he let him goand that Mr. Caswell was not on the place the whole time the man was there. Statements are also filed from Sergeant Hamilton, Officer Marr, Lieut. Eckloff, C. R. Vernon, John Connell and others of the same purport, corroborating In- tendant Caswell. - THE ASPHALT CONTRACTS. The action of the District Commissioners yes- terday in deciding to notify the sureties of Messrs. Bailey & Fletcher, the contractors for laying as- phalt pavements, that they would be held respon- sible for the failure of the contractors to com- lete the work, and in the event of their refus- Ing the contract would be given to the next lowest bidder, was based on an opinion of At- torney Riddle. In this opinion Mr. Riddle held that in the event of the failure of a contractor the Commissioners may permit the sureties to enter upon the work, or may fall back upon the next lowest responsible bidder, or they may hire men, buy material and finish the work them- selves, or they may advertise for proposals to complete the work. * AN EAST WASHINGTON WANT. A delegation of property holders, headed by Mr. Edward Temple, from East Washington, called upon the District Commissioners yester- day afternoon to ask that 11th street east, from M street to the bridge across the Eastern Branch, be payed with granite block this season, and in the discussion the necessities were fully set forth for this improvement on a thorough- fare yery much used. Commissioner Dent and Lieut. Greene were present on the partof the District authorities, both acknowledging the Justness of their request and the necessity of having the work done, but under the pressure of other work already cgnmenced and the limited amount of means. they could give but little encouragement to the delegation. Com- missioner Dent suggested cobble stone in lieu of granite block, and stated that there were streets in Georgetown which had, at least, equal claims for pavements and were just as much used thoroughfares as 1ith street east, but it was impossible, under the circumstances, to give them any attention this year. The delega- tion opposed cobble stone for that street and wanted granite block or nothing, and would prefer to wait awhile rather than not haye it. VITAL STATISTICS. The total mortality in the District of Colum- bia for the week ending Saturday, August 27, was 102, (being 15 more than the week pre- vious), or at the rate of 29.47 per 1,000 per an- num. 31 were white males, 14 white females, 30 colored males and 27. colored femaleg, show- ing an annual death-rate of 19.5 per 1, forthe white population and 49.4 for the colored, The number of deaths from diarrhceal diseases was 27, consumption 15, malarial fever 7, diseases of the nervous system and diseases of the heart 6 each, violence 4. typhoid fever3. There were 66 births reported, as follows: 23 of white males, 19 white femates, 11 colored males and 13 col- ored females, showing an annual birth-rate of 18.2 per 1,000 for the white and 20.8 for the col- ored population. Marriages reported 5—white 8, colored 2. Still-births 4—white 1, colored 3. The Central Guard House Sale. ATTORNEY RIDDLE VS. ATTORNEY BIRNEY. District Attorney Riddle has rendered an opinion in reference to the sale of the old Cen- tral Guard House property, which is in sub- stance a reply to the opinion recently furnished by Gen. Wm: Birney, as attorney for the ~pur- chasing committee” of the Produce Exchange. In the case of the guard house, Mr. Riddle holds that the District is merely authorized to sell its own property. ‘The District, he says, is the owner, has power to sell, has sold and may legally execute the necessary conveyance.“ In the face of Mr. Birney’s opinion,” Mr. Riddle concludes, “I think the Commissioners would be warrarted in not tendering a deed to Mr. Kilbourn. It may be well, however, to execute and tender one to him, and if absent to his at- torney for him. When that is formally refused, the sale may be regarded as abandoned or set aside, and a yesale ordered for that reason.” oe eee Overloading Street Cars—Who is to Blame? To the Editor of Taz Evenixe Star: It seems that most of the writers in relation to overloading street cars are inclined to attach all of the blame to the conductors and drive None accuse the people who crowd the cars, h cruelty. There would be a terrible how] should the conductors order their drivers to start and leave a number of passengers when there was standing room in the car. Now I am inclined to think the people who insist upon crowding the cars and overloading them. are fullyasmuch, if not more, to blame than the conductors and drivers. The conductors are generally polite and accommodating, and are very anxious to have their cars well-filled, but certainly have no power to compel anyone’ to get into a car and stand up when it is plain tobe seen the car is full to its utmost capacity. I hope the writers will turn their attention ‘somewhat to the dear people, and educate them in humanity. as well as delivering lectures to, and making’ threats against, the innocent conductors, who are doing all they can to please the traveling public, by conveying them as speedily as possible to their destination. So far as the crowding of the cars at the steamboat landing is concerned, | have never seen any one inconvenienced by it, and as the entrance of the car is at the side, instead of at the rear, the horses do not interfere with the passengers entering the cars. There is only one way to correct this evil, so much complained of, and that isto have a law passed limiting the number of passengers to be drawn by any given number of horses in a vehicle. The passage of such a law would rélieve the conductors and drivers of much responsibility, and the agents of the society for the prevention of cruelty to animals from a great deal of fruitless labor.

The inventory of the personal effects of Capt. H. W. Howgate levied on by the Marshal in the suit of the United States against him was com- pleted yesterday. Some pro} ‘y which it was thought belonged to Captain Howgate wasfound to be in the name of his daughter, and after the exemptions had been made the remainder footed up only $562. The appraisers were Granville P. Cooper, H. C. Thorn and W. H. Thornton. WHERE IS HOWGATE? There is considerable conjecture as to whether Capt. Howgate has not fied the country, and some of his former friends are now of the opin- fon that he is now on his way to Europe or has gone to Mexico. It is said that besides making the deed of trust tosecure his bondsmen (Messrs. W. W. McCullough, W. B. Moses and Notle Anderson), which was not put on record until after the marshal had seized the property in the attachment suit for $101,000, healso gave a deed of trust on some property to secure his counsel. No such deed has, however, been put on record nor is it definitely known that there is such a deed in existence, TWO OF THE BONDSMEN UNEASY. At least two of the sureties are not quite cer- tain that ste be Howgate will return voluntarily for trial, and one of them, who yesterday morn- ing could not bring his mind to believe that Capt. Howgate would act dishonorably in the matter, was last evening making inquiries as to how hercould save himself, and wasendeavoring ks and some property which could be attached ry him. There are some reasons to believe that Mr. Moses, one of the bondsmen, has had some transactions with Howgate, independent of the case, which have resulted in an attachment suit under the title of Moses agt. Howgate, but asyet no such suit has been filed. It is stated that Mr. Moses endorsed for Capt. Howgate a note for over $2,500, which became due just after the hearing, which he paid, and, Mr. Moses, it is | further said, has attached furniture owned by Howgate jna house on K street, near 14th, 80 that he will lose nothing by this transaction. ss The National Regatta.

Guiteau's mail this morning contained a pos tal card dated “‘Hades, August 29, 1881,” which reads: “Comrade Guiteau: How I long for your arrival. Never, when you shall have been pitched into the bowels of eternity, will there be a better plece of fire-wood for the never-quench- ing furnace. I shall be ready for you on or about the day of your trial. All orders received postmarked Harri “YOUR TIME IS SHORT.” Another postal card from Langdon, Atchison, » is as follows: — “Contemptidie wretch, deceive not yourself with hopes of life. We firmly believe the verdict of the court will be death by hangii but that is finmaterial; die you shall, and die you must, lecture. I expect you would draw like a stick- ing plaster. Well, yon will soon have superior advantages for composing a lecture on the dif- ference of climate between this world and hell. Infamous coward, villain and traitor, enjoy yourself while you can. You have no feeling or heart to bother you and your time is short.” 18 THIS FROM THE SWEET SINGER OF MICRIGAN? Another reads: Vile man, cold-blooded knave, The skeme that you expect To keep you from the hangman’s power, And save your guilt ¥ meek. Will not avail you in the least, Should our braye chieftain die Not all the guardians in the land keep you off from justice's hand, 80 now prepare thyself for death, If honored Garfield is no more, No man on earth or power of law ‘Can save you from death's clamy clay.

Or, ifa plan to tortue thee ‘Our wits could now devise, We'd cut off thy ears, pull out thy tongue, And with vitriol burn thy eyes. will receive mpt attention. Satan.” This is | isburg. Nay! monster, do not hold thy hands In holy horror up; Gaze on thy lot, then Garfield's, Whose is the bitter cup? SOME POETRY FROM LYNCHBURG. A postal from Lynchburg, Va., addresse@ to Guiteau, the assassin, is embellished with a sketch of a gallows with a man hanging on it, and conveys the following message: “ ‘All's well that ends well.’ Thus do you end. Charlie, you are a bad boy to shoot the President so, for you know he might die, then to hell you're sure to go. If the law don’t take its course and should let you go free, an angry mob willtake you out and hang you to a tree. Thus always with tyrants and murderers.” B. KEY TO GUITEAU'S CELL.
