Vernon went to the residence of Judge Snell and swore out a warrant against Willlam Jones, charging bim with assault and battery with intent to kill Charles J. Gulteau. This was served on Jones at the second precinct station, after both the driver of the van, Leonard, and Pert rson, had identified him as the man Who shot at Guiteau. ‘This moruing Jones was taken ont of the station house and removed to the Police Court, where Judge Snell appeared before 7 o'clock. Capt. Ver- non stated to the court that he desired to have the prisoner committed for a hearing, as he was not yet ready for the witnesses, by whom he could fully establish the charge. Judge Snell thereupon fixed the ball at $5 000, and Jones was committed to jail, where he was, taken at once, and assigned a cell Before 8 o'clock a.m. Jones was yesterday visited by Mr. R. K. Elliott, his counsel, and subsequently no interviews were allowed With lim Save for the purposes of identification.

After cordial introductions, Mr. W. A. Armstrong, the chairman, addressed the Commis- j sioner, stating that their purpose in calling would be mote fully under-tood by feading the preamble and resolutions of the Natfonal Grange calling for the appointinent of the comm ttee, Wich he pro- ceeded to read. He sald the resolutions had passed at the session of the Grange the morning suc- ceeding the address of Commissioner Loring be- fore that body, (heretofore printed in Tag STAR.) It was the one and sole idea of that organ- ization that the Department of Agriculture shculd be elevated to a higher plane than bereto- fore, and that it should become in reality a gov- ernment department, with its head a Cabinet off. cer, and that it could best promote the great Interests of agriculture by being kept aloof from all other interests. ‘This was the sentiment of the grange organization, which had the elevation of the Agricultural department its chief object. ‘The interview here took the form of an informal discussion, and was participated In freely by all the members of the committee ho desired to give expression to thelr views. COMMISSIONER LORING SAID that he intended to make no argument in favor of the position he had taken, as none was necessary he thought, and he wasof the opinion that he had not been rightly understood. He had advocated an enlargement of that department, so as to include those Interests which were intimately and toa great extent Inaeparably allied to agricul- ture. fle did not wish to antagonize any interest, but desired only to place the great Interests of agriculture on the plane {nour govern- ment care and keeping, to which it of right is en- titled. If he had further expressed himself on that oceasion he had not tntended to do so, and did not wish to be so understood. The enlargement of the department, and the control of such Interests as now antagonize agriculture was of vastly more importance than the political aspect which might be sought to couple with these questions. So far as he was concerned, he could not. urge any action Ing towards making his a Cabinet office. This, 't to the country \d to legislation, which the agricultural interests maydemand. The mining, bor, manufacturing, transportation and labor aU sties are all interests which should be com- bined into separate bureaus of the government, in some form, and it would be for the’ Interests of agriculture if it were done. He was not in favor of loading down the agricultural department With more than tt could carry. The geolozteal sur- veys was anoticr Important branch nearly allied to the interests of agriculture. He was simply in favor of letting the Agricultural ep ortment as now constituted go right along as itis. A bureau of Manufactures ought to be established, where producers could come to find out at any time such ntormation as would be for their best Interests in the production of cotton, wool, &e. In relation to the mining interests he had seen at Atlantaenough 9 convince him that there should be a bureau of this kind connected with the government. This interest is known officially only through the geo- logical surveys, and the Inte President. Garfield short time b«fore he received his death blow sald to him that he thought the Land Office ought to be connected with the new department. ‘it As to railroads he thought so far as they affected the interests of agriculture that something might bedone by which the whole country might be benefitted In this way of an equalization of fares and transportation, but he did not propose to antagonize any one interest, but to advocate what Tor the interests of all. He thought it would be a benefit to have a tabu- lated rate of frelghts and fares kept—showing the working of the raflroad systems in different states. in connection with agricuitural interests. 'Trans- pene stion both by land and water ts closely allied fo agriculture Several members of the committee expressed themselves pleased with the remarks of the com- missioner and thought they would lke to have other hearing with him to-morrow, and as the couuntsioner had an engagement to attend to at 12 o'clock, it was orranged that another Interview be held td-morrow at ‘a convenient hour, to be agreed upon this evening. pace ‘The Courts. recur Court—Judge MacArthur, Saturday, Galt & Co. agt.
