THK Ills CitlMK. STOliY OF The Washington correspondent of the New York llerabl publishes a lengthy interview with Outeau, con taining an an account of his life, po litical experience, and the motives that inspired him iu assassinating the Pnrddont. We clip the following cx tracts, which wili :c found of interest:' JCITK.Vl"' VIKWS OK THK ASSASSINA TIONS The assassin beirins with a brief -chapter, which he calls'-lntroduction," In which he aeeks to explain his crime. . "I have not,"he says, "used the words 'Agassi nation' or 'assassin'in this work These words grate on the mind and pritduce a bad feeling. I think of Gen. tiarfleld's condition as a removal and not an assassination. My idea simply stated was to remove as easily as possi ble Mr. James A. Garfield, a quiet and good-natured citizen ofOhio.whotem porarily occupied the position of Pres- ident of the United States, and substi- tute in kis place Mr. Chester A. Ar-i thur.ofNew York, a distinguished and highly estimable gentleman. Ma Oarfleld T intended to quietly remove to Paradise (which is a great improve ment on this world), while Mr. Ar thur saved the republic. And he adds: "Not a soul in the universe .knew of my purpose to remove the President. , If it has failed I shall never attempt it again. My motive was purely political and patriotiotic, and I acted under IMvine pressure. It was the same kind of pressure that led Abraham to orifice his son Isaac." These hys terical utterances are followed by what he call au address to the American People," in which he reiterates the declaration that ha alone is responsi ble. ; ' eOKCJEPTIOX OP THE ASSASSINATION. "I conceived the idea of removing the President," Guiteau declares, "Pending the answer, and as far as the Paris consulship had any influent- en my mind at all, it would have de- terred mo from the act, because I ex - pected as a matter of fact that I would get the Paris.consulship.

I j felt wearied in mind and body, and I j was in my bed about 9 o'clock and J was thinking over the political sltua- tion, and thojdea flashed through my ! braiu that if the President was out of i the way everything wonld go better. At first it was a mere impression. It startled me, but the next morning it came to me with renewed force, and I began to read the papers with my eye on the possibility that the President w ould have to go, and the more I read the more I saw the complication of public affairs, the more I was Impress ed with the necessity of removing him." The thing continued for about two weeks. 1 kept reading the papers and kept being impressed, and the idea kept bearing and bearing down upon me that the only way to unite the two tactions of the Republican party and save the republic from going into the hands of the rebels and Democrats was to quietly remove t'ie I 'resident. ' -; , XEAUING THK END. . "Having heard on Friday from the papers,-and also by my inquiries of tlie doorkeeper at the White House, Friday evening, that the President was going to Long Branch Saturday morning, I resolved to remove him at the-dei)ot. I took my breakfast at the Rigy House alout H o'clock. I ate well and felt well in body and mind. I -tvent into Lafayette square and sat there for some little time af ter breakfast, w:iting for nine o'clock to come, and then went to the depot and I got there about ten'. 'minutes af ter nine. I rody (hero front the park in a bob-tailed' ear. I left the car, walked' up to a . boot u lack, got my boots blacked, and inquired for a man named John Taylor, whom,, two weeks before, had spoken to me about taking me jout toward Con gressional Co m e t e r y. They told me that Taylor's carrariage was not there, and there were three or four hackmen there who were anxious to serve me, and finally I noticed a col ored man, and I said to dim, 'What will you take me out to Congressional Cemetery for." He says, ell, I will take you out there tor $2.' 'All right,' said 1, 'if I want to use you I will let you know.' ' At that moment those other hackmen were pressing me to get my business, and I;said to them, Keep quiet; you are too fast on this,' and 1 told. thte colored man privately that if I wanted bis services I would let him know iu a few minutes. I then went into the depot and ttok j niY private papers which I intended wr t,u P imciuaing revisvu em- tion of my book, "The lruth, a Com- i panion to tlie iiibie,"j ami sieppeu uo to the news stand and asKed tne young man in .charge if I could leave those papers with him a fewi mo ments, and he said, 'Certainly;' aud he took them and placed them up against the wall on top of some other papers.; This-was about twenty min utes after nine, and I went into the ladies' waiting room, and I looked around, saw there were quite a good many people there in the depot and carriages outside, but I did not see the President's carriage, I examined m v revolver to see that it was alright, andtkofftherUiatlhadwrap- peilanmmlit to keep the moisture off. I waited five or six minutes long- a. -i i., room, and very soon the President drove op. I. He was in company, with a gentleman who, I understand, was Mr. Blaine, and I am satisfied that he was Mr. Blaine, although I did not recognize him. This gentleman J looked very old, and he had a peculiar j kind of headgear on, that I did not ; recognize as that of Mr. Blame. I am j satisfied that it was Mr. Blaine, now ! i K vnuevi u n, uciauw i ..- inc rumv f t, u t -i i gentleman that I saw with the Presi . . .... . . dent the night before-, and I know and down tlie ladies' room between the ticket office door and the news stand door, a space of some ten or twelve feet. I walked up and down there I should say two or three times working myself up, as I knew the hour was at hand. The President and Mr. Blaine came into the ladies', room and walked right by me; they did not notice me as there were quite a num ber of ladies and children in the room. HOW THE PRESIDENT FEI,L "There was, quite a large crowd of j ticket purchasers at the gentleman's ticket office in the adjoining "room; the depot seemed to qnite full of peo ple. There was quite a crowd and commotion around, and the President was in tlie act of parsing from the la dies' room to tl.e main entrance through the door. I should say he was. bout four or five feet from the door nearest the ticket office, in the act of passing through the door to get through the depot to the cars. He was about three or four feet from the door. I stood five or six feet behind him, right in tlie middle of the,room, and as he was in the act of walking away from me I pulled out the re volver and fired. He straightened up and threw his head back and seemed perfectly bewildered. He did not seem to know what struck him. 1 looked at him; he did not drop; I thereupon pulled again. He dropped, his head seemed to reel, and fell over. I do not know where the first snot hit; I aim for any, particular place, but I knew if I got those two bullets in his back hevould certainly go. 1 was in a diagonal direction 'from tlie President, to the northwest, and sup posed both shots struck, . t ''",-.- i ' . fc - . PRESIDENTIAL ASPIRATION'S.; "The second" subject in w hich he desires to take the public into his con fidence refers to the Presidency. "For twenty years," he writes, "I have had an idea that I should be President. I had the idea when I lived in the Oneida Community, and it has never left me. When I left Boston for New York in June. 1880, I remember dis tinctly I felt that I was on my way to the White House. I had this feeling all throutrh the cauvass last fall in 'ew York, although I mentioned it to only two persons. My idea is that l snail be nouuuateu and elected as Lincoln and Garfield were that is by tne act of God. If I were President. I should seek to give the nation a first class administration in every respect; I want nothing sectional crooked around me. My object would be to unity tiie entire Ainarican people and make mem happy, prosperous and God-iearing."

A Horrible Murder. A diabolical murder w as committed in Watauga county, on last Wednes day night. A gentleman was travel ing through i' the connty collecting money, and stopping at the house of a lady, desired to deposit a sum of money with her tho amount of which we are not informed At first she refused, but yielding to the per suasion of two lad'.es who were pres" ent, she finally consented, and the gentleman went on his way. Mis trusting something from the zeal man ifested by the two unknown ladies, he resolved to return. On entering the house he was shown to his roo n up stairs and he retired without asking for the money entrusted to the lady's keeping; louring the night he was aroused Wthe screams of a woman. Hurriedly he ran down stairs to her rescue, if possible, but was met at the foot of the stairway by two men, whom he instantly shot, recognizing them as robbers. On investigation it was found that they were the same ladies that were there In the evening, who influenced the money deposit, attired in gentlemen's clothing and who had in their evil design murdered this' inoffensive lady to obtain the money in - her possession.--Hiekory Sherrill Kincaid living on John's River, in Burke, was so severely wounded by a stroke given him by his wife with an axe that ho died the Friday following. It seemed that the woman had refused to do the cooking. Kincaid, on Wednesday morning, was stooping over the' hearth grinding coffee for breakfast, ' when his wife came up behind him, and struck him a murderous blow on the top of his head with the sharp edge of an ax, partially splitting the skull. As soon asshe committed the deed, the woman fled to the woods. Kincaid lingered on until Friday, when he died. He was buried Saturday and his wife came in to attend the funeral. She was promptly apprehended and placed in Morganton jail.

Great excitemetit prevails through out this section to-day over the dis covery of the whereabout of one Charles Buckles, who mystcrioualy dLsappearedjfrom Osage township, this county, last winter, and was sup posed to have been murdered. When it became known last December that Buckles had returned to the country after an alwence of two years, had gone to the house of Mr. Rambo, in Osage township, an old neighbor, that a pistol shot had been heard at the house that evening, that Henry For rest had been there and had quarreled witn Buckles, that Buckles was sup Iosed to have brought money with him, that no one saw him except For rest and members of the Rambo fami ly, that he disappeared that night without calling upon his father or any of his relatives, leaving behind his satchel and overcoat, which were found at Ram bo's huse, there verej strong suspicions that he had been foully dealt with. Henry Forrest was arrested and placed upon trial for the offense. Public feeling ran so high in that part of the county, which by the way is near where the notorious Ben der murders were committed, a vigi lance committee was organized and threats of lynching indulged In. Even Forrest's counsel, C. H. Kimball, of this city, was threat n d with io'.cnce if hi? dared defend so guilty n murder er. Rambo was also arrested, charged with being accessory to the murder, but no evidence being found against him he was discharged. He was afterward- taken from his home at mid night by a pretended officer and when about to be delivered to a mob, barely succeeded, knife in hand, in making his escape, thanks to the good horse upon which he sat. Such a state of terrorism was kept up that the For rests and Rambo's were compelled through fear of their lives to leave the neighborhood. The trial of Forest came off at the last June term of court in this county, and, though ably de fended, he narrowly escaped convic tion, the jury disagreeing. Now it transpires that Buckles is alive and well and, although knowing of the prosecution here and the mystery sur rounding his disappearance, has chos en to keep himself concealed for pur poses best known to himself.-r-Par-son's (Ivy.) Dispatch to St. Louis Globe Democrat. Vengeance Upon a Male. j O.d Silas was a very revengeful man. Now, Hilas, owned a mule,, aud one day the mule raised his hind legs and smote Silas, whereas, the old man sat upon the barn floor and wept. Suddenly he smiled, and seizing a grain sack he filled it with sand and rocks, and tied a leather apron around it. Then he hnngit from the beam right behind the mule. A shudder passed over the animal but he nerved himself and let fly. He sent the bag to the roof, but the recoil struck him with surprise not only once, but two or three tiraesl The mule wasn't used to being kicked back. Old Silas laughed till tears ran down his cheeks. The mule kicked again, and the bag kicked back. They kept up the contest all day and toward evening the mule showed signs of weakening but old Hi las was not satisfied yet. He went to bed and during the night he heard the mule braying for mercy, but his heart was hardened. When he went to the stable in the morning the sand bag was as fresh as ever, but the mule had laid down in d Is pair and was dead- died of a broken heart. fXemarUable Care. A highly esteemed gentleman liv ing in one of the Western coxmties, whose word no one in this State will doubt, told that a member, of hi family had suffered so much from neuralgia and pain - In the fcee and head, that he determined to take the sufferer to a physician living in neighboring town that after going there he casually heard of a gentleman boarding at the hotel where he stop ped who coujd cure pain by merely passing his hands over the person af flicted.

Atlanta has a population of about 40,000, ex clusive of several populous suburbs. It Is used to crowds. The two princi pal hotels have respectively 300 and 125 rooms, and there, are a dozen smaller aoa. An Exposition hote with 4'J0 rooms, has been erected juit outside the grounds. It lias tho ca pacity for entertaining 1,000 -people, and is fitted with g vs electric light, elettric hclLs, dc. Just opposite this hotel an enterprising few Yorker has established a pavilion hotel, composed of now and well-furnished tents, where 1,500 pe rnio can IbuUred f jr. There a : ever il hotels Jut opened inthecity and on the suburbs near the grounds. Tho ooplo have opened tholr homes and are already registered to take ,000 boarders ' du ring the Exposition;" Before ten days are past there w ill be room prepared for an additional 1,000, Visitors need not fear an organized Imposition oh their pockets. The usual hotel rates are $:!a day, with a few rooms held as high as $4. Private boarding-houses generally charge $2.50 and $1 a day. Rooms rfre let on the Europe in plan at J 1 and $1 .0 a day. Just about the main building Is a field of two acres In which appears a Tftrious crop. There are over a dozen some open, '-some varieties of cotton, half grown and some quite young. Next to the?e are grow ing siignr vane, rice, millet, peanuts, hemp, potatoes of many species and a dezen other products. Just otitdde the grounds are the trial erops of cot ton, for the best of which' n special premium of $2,500 is offered. 1 The widely differing methods of farming in the Borrth are thus to be tested In a way which will be of practical value to the farmers. For the best single bale of cotton raised, any where there is a special premium of $,100, and there are already over fifty entries. The full list of premiums in money and mod uls will.aimwmt torneariy 20,000, and will cover every department in which there is an exhibit. Frightened to Death. . We learn that J as.
