They are dated 1852 and 1583, being written in the high flown and gushing strain w 1 the mad monarch habitually affected. The tivst epistle, whicl was written on the anniversary of Schiller birthday, is a letter of reeonciliation sent after some coldness between the king and Kainz, It begins: THE FIRST EPISTLE, Dear Herr Kainz—It is just a yearand half sinee you transported me and filled me with a lofty enthusiasm by your never-to-be- forgotten third performance of Didier in “Marion De Lorme,” and aiter a long silence 1 feel impelled to write to you onee more.

[Signed) Herald the death mory there | Kainz, the loss of Lupwia. A RIAPSODY. The opening of the next letter published is dated the 15th of November, 18852, It is Jargely devoted to arhapsody over Sehiller’s “Cabale und Liebe.” The letter continues thus: “Rest assured Toften think of what, s you wrote in one of your letters at the be- ginning of this month, so often recurs to my mind, how one little word wiped out all differences of rank which human laws had placed between us,” This o refer toa request once made to ng that he would drop the second person plural talking to him when no strangers were by and use the familiar du. CELESTIAL BLESSI OKED, ‘The last published letter is largely devoted toa eriticism of Ki ctor who had played before the king in “Wilhelm Tell.” “Do not take Herr Krastel as your model in all things,” writes poor Ludwig, and then re- verting to his usual lyricism, he onee more invokes a series of cewstial Dlessings on Kainz's head. He thanks the actor for having condeseended 10 accept the present of a costly easket which e had sent him to keep the man: I's letters in. Tojudge from these epistolatory speci- mens, the casket was a good deal more valy ble than its eontents, The correspondenc has, however, served its purvose, and has given the Berliners something to laugh at, although the letters had to be much ex- purgated and the manuseripts carefully ed- ited.

He calculated that at the rate of $10,000 a year, as proposed in the amendment, it would Tequire thirty or forty years to complete the work. In the course of his argument he com- mented upon the tailure of the work on Gal- veston harbor, and said that the government I sen sending army engineers to school the cost of several million dollars, The whole system wrong.

He Tells How Brady and Dorsey Un- scesstally Endeavored to Trace a Conspiracy lmplicating Arthur and Conkling, The Plot Was Guitea WasiiNGroN, July 12 HEH onle in Washington who know most about the affairs which surrounded President Garlield at the time of his assassin ation, and who have kept well informed as to the workings of the two great factions in the republican party, and who, too, attended the trinl of the assassin, Guitean, declare the stories published in connection with the death of the late United States District At torney Corkhill, to the ct that the assassin had accomplices, the veriest kind of rot. No one here believes that any one had the slightest iden of the assassination before it took place other than Guiteau, and every- body believes that that miserable wreteh would have “perched” on anyons who was in collusion with him the very first opportu- nity he had. uiteau was a notorions coward and wholty destitute of peineiple, and he would have spared no means at his command to tarn the tide in his favor at any time during the trial. He fairly ached to draw somebody into the trial with him and divert the responsibility from himself. But the theory that Guiteau had accomplices, or was encouraged in his fiendish work, was sifted to its bottom by the very best detectives in the country, and by men who had eyery facility in the way of so- cial and political associations to do so. Your correspondent had a long talk to-day with one of the principal defendants in the famous star route tri il he exploded the idea that anybody except Guiteau had anything to do with the killing of field. “Atone during the s this gentleman, “'there [ about this thing of Guiteau not being sol responsible for the death of Garfield. There were mean and contemptible hints that Pr 1dent Arthur and ex-Seuator Conkling knew something, and should be on trial with Guiteau, At that time General Brady and ex-Senator Dorsey were winching under they conceived to be personal —per- ution. and while both i a high re- gard tor Mr. Conkling, each despised Mr. Avthur, At a a conference held one e ing, at which both of these star route kings or their representatives were prese matter of Guiteau's alleged accomplices was brought up and discussed. I remember that General Brady declared the insinuation that ther Arthur or Conklinig was in any degree responsible was basely false. and that 1o one but a villain would accuse them of it. He said that he and Mr. Dorsey had been inti- mately associated with the friends of - those men, and with Arthur and Conkling them- selves, and that after weeks of the niost dili- gent watchfulness, und the assistance of a number of the shrewdest detecti in the country, they had been unable o find the slightest elew. He believed that if they, with nd political ties, and the 'work ‘tectives, were unabld to trace this thing, the as nothing n it,” < “You see,” continued the gentleman, “it would have been a big card for utf‘ tar route men if they could have unearthed a consni racy to theassassination. It would have frecd them and turned the current of public opin- ion from them. Well, at the meeting 1 speak of, it was determined’ that renewed efforts should be made to get a thread of the conspi- racy, if one existed, and although Brady and Dorsey neither believed in it, their ma- chinery was again - put to work. Months of work failed to re- sult ih o the slightest discovery. At the same time tiis investigation,deep and Scorehing, was going on, the governmn trying to solve the myster isted, doubt if ever a more earnest, pa far- iingand fruitless investigation was ever made ¢ ivthing, I know, too, that the most diligent effort was put forth by the fam- ily of Guiteau to patch up a sensation in this direction, but that the assassin was so - com- pletely destitute of material to work upon that the dinbolical plot was an utter failure.
