A Good Majority. Garfield, aud
his military cohorts who have been in
the habit of carrying elections by the
nse of tho army, and an army of Mar
shals, for tbs past ten years, were no
doubt surprised lo find a majority oi
20 for repeal. So the tide goes.

death of that well-known printer and

WBAT HE WANTED.
(oners! Garfield, of Ohio, a Republi
can politician In Congress whe would
like first-rate to be nominated for Gov
ernor of that State, made a speech the
othor dny, is whicb bo indulged in a
great deal of bombast, and opposed the
right of Congress to do in 1870 what
he swore It bad tbo right to do in 1872
The Philadelphia Timet thus tolls what
Garfiold's Bpeech was made for and
what he wanted to provoke by it
"Gen. Garfield's revolutionary speech
ot Saturday last was made for two yiT
posos: first, to sound the long roll of
despair to shattered Republican lines;
and, socond, to provoke a foolish an
swer irom somo ConiodoraW Brigadier
to do for General Garfield and bis rev
olutionary associates what they can't
do for themselves.
Doubtless General Garfield will be
answered, and the only question is
wbethor he will be answered as truth
and patriotism dictate, or as ho hopes
and earnestly dosiros to be answered.
Truth and patriotism would diotate
that some dispassionately expose his
awkward exhibition aa a demagogue
by reading bit reoord on precisoly the
same Issue in 1875, when be was to
the front in the support ot what he
now denounces aa rebellions. Such an
answer, made in twenty or thirty min
utos would end the debate, unless both
sides are fearfully beset with irrepressi.
ble fools.
The answer tbat Genoral Gai field
most wants and that be exhausted all
the arts of the demagogue and falsifier
to obtain, is the ebullition of some hot
spur of the South, wbo will be tempted
into an eloquent defense ot Jefferson
Davis or lashed Into a fresh bubbling
over of a stream of rebel tomfoolory,
If tbat tails, Garfield's speech will be a
failuro, and all the dividend's be will
gather for revolutionary party pur
poses will be the silly bombast of some
booted and spurred Confederate cross
roads newspaper. What Garfield and
his fellow-revolutionists are hungering
for is a dofenso of theConlederate sido
of the war on the floor of the House,
and if there sbull be no fool ready thas
to appease the demagogue, Garfield
would have gone wooling and come
borne sheared. There never was a bet
ter opportunity than now for a little
sense and patriotism to win a most
signal victory in Congress."

Tho Baltimore Gatette says: "Tho
'Nigger Question' is np again in Kan
sas. When it was np about a quarter
of a century ago it involved the admis
sion of slave labor to 'Bleeding Kan
sas.' Mow it concerns the admission
of free negroes. The 'poor man' in
Kansas objects to the influx of negro
settlors to an extent that threatens the
State with bleeding again, though the
blood this time, if any, will be shed by
the Sons of Freedom and the bleedce,
if we may be allowed the expression,
will be 'the nigger,' and not the 'bor
der ruffian.' The color-line is again
drawn and all the rest ot it, Even
the new amendments of the Constitu
tion are spoken of in Kansas with con

why the Southern States should ob
ject to this exodut to Kansas for it is
composed chiefly ot the young malot
who are the most efficient workers.
Thit leaves an overplus of old men and
women and children the class that
hat to be takon care of. Wby Kansas
should object to bona fide settlers and
workers on account of color we cannot
understand, exoept upon the theory
which has many other facts to tup.

Bbazeh Impcdincb. De Golyer Gar
field it in a state of alarm just now
over tho assumed intention of the Dem
ocrr-ta to subvert the Government He
made a speech upon tbe subject in the
House on Saturday, the 29th ultimo.
De Golyer Garfield maintained tbat,
for the people's representatives to force
the redress of the people s grievances
by withholding the supplies tbat come
out of tbe people t pockett, was revo
lutionary "revolutionary to tbe core."
That is a point on which there it at
least room to diffor from De Golyer
Garflold.
But there is no room for a differ
ence of opinion at to. the impertinence
of De Golyer Garfield In putting him
self forward as the champion of tbe
Constitution. Barely two years ago

stitutional Electoral Commission, aid

dent Ht it tht last man wbo should

GARFIELD'S REVOLUTION.
Rov. Gen. De Uolyer Garfield, of
Ohio, the radical nominee for Speaker,
is now tbo confessed leader of his party
in the Hons, and was aolectod to pro
claim the Democata Revolutionists.
The Philadelphia Timet, in alluding to
some of his Congressional, tricks says :
"In 16C7 the Republicans of Con
gress, with President Hayes and Gen
eral Garfield as members and acting
with the majority, forced into the army

wlation the Democrats now propose
thus to repeal. Tbey refused to con.

session te ooero President Johnson to
sign the bill. Was it revolutionary

field T
"In 1872, the Supervisor and Deputy
Marshal section was forced into the
civil appropriation bill under the load
of Geuoral Garfield, and the arbitrary
powors conferred upon Federal officials
to interfere with elections was thus
forced upon the then Democratic mi
nority by General Garfiold's party lash.
The Democrats then denounced it as
revolutionary to force revolutionary
legislation in such a manner, but Goner
al Garfield pressed it to success.
"If General Garfield doemed it not
revolutionary to pass violent and revo
lutionary legislation in that way in
18G7 and in 1872, can he respect him.
self or hope to be respected by others,
for declaring it revolutionary to repeal
revolutionary legislation in like man-
nor T
"If President Hayes, at a Republican
member of Congress, regarded it as
proper to inject political sections into
appropriation bills in 1807, and to bold
the bills until the last (lays of the ses
sion lo force tbe Executive approval,
will he veto an appropriation bill be
cause the Domocrats have now foolish
ly imitated his example?

millions of acres of tbo best land in the
world are uncultivated ; and yet, one-

that the Chinese are looking eastward

Liabs, Havm ahd All. Tbe Stal
warts art resorting to all sorts of
methods lo compel Hayes to veto the
Appropriation bills. Tbe favorite one
is to manufacture interviews pledging
himself in advance to voto the bills
when tbey ko to him. The New Tork
Herald of the 3d lust says : " If Pros
ident Hayes vetoes either or both of
tbe Appropriation bills, bt will griovi.

and convincing reasons, A Tet affixed

but it would juatly arouse

him is an act degrading to his office
and insulting to it nation." The
Herald then goes on to show that tbe
Republicans have affixed politioal leg-
islation to Appropriation bills, and
made precedents for tbe present action
of the Democrats, in one case while Mr.
Hayes was a Representative in Con
gress. General Garfield is also quoted
against himsolf.

A LETTER FROM VIRGINIA.
Meadow Mills, Viboinia, )
April 2d, 1870. j
Editob Ripdblican : I have soon
nothing from our Slate in your paper
for tome time, and if you will allow
me apace in your valuable paper, I will
tell yon and your readers something
about tbe nrosnect for Sprintr crops.
Ao, Notwithstanding it baa been
prophesied that the whoat crop would
be a failure in this section, it is flour
ishing, and our farmers are jubilant
over the prospect for an abundant
yield, although it ia roost too early to
judge. Most oi the farmers are done
plowing, and all have made some gar
den. We have bad an exceedingly
mild March, so that tbe farmers are
well on with their work, and if some
farmed at Ibey did al one lima, they
would have plenty of time for vis
iting and loafing. They have no time
for that tbey can always find some
thing to do. They are coming to the
front They see that united action is
a necessity. Already, through united
aotion, incalculable benefits bave re
sulted. Farmers are coming to tbe
front notes Republicans ; not as Dem
oorats; not as Greenbackers; but as
ratrons ot Husbandry. Farmers are
coming lo tbe front in respect to a do
sire to become more and more familiar
with the principles of political econo
my and tbe scionce of government."
It it right thoy should, situated as we
are in Virvinia, with its woalth of
moisture and abundance of vogetation,
and when under the stimulating rays
ot tbe sun grow the most expanded
ioliaga, tbe largest and most brilliant
flowers, the most delicious fruits, and
the greatest variety of plants, capable
or affording sustenance to man, and
tbe largest number of those which con
tribute to tbe luxuries ot civilized me.
Our fruit nrosnect is irood. An v man
can make a living here if he bas any
energy about him at all. There is here
a chance for all. But one point 1 would
suggest to tbs person desiring to come
here: Do not come expocting to get
ncn too quicx. rrue, ll be brings
money enough with bim to make a
rapid advancement, there are many
kinds or buBlness equally aa profitable
as farming. Sheep rsisinir can be car
ried on bere extensively, it tboro is
sufficient capital invostod to conduct
tbe business properly.
This idea is to men with capital
Now, I would say to those who desire
sbeep ranches, in order to make a bus!
none ef sheep raising, and bave not
got much capital, it can be carried on
successfully if it be oombinod with
farming, and you are content to wait
for both to increase in value. To those
wbo bave never boon In Virginia, the
question might arise, "Why it Virginia
so good for shoep-ralsing?" Because
tho soil and climate appears to bo nat
urally adapted to the growing of blue
grass, and the nature of this grass is

PRETTY JUDGES.
The Harrisburg Patriot says tbat on
tbe first trial two of the judges of Gen.
Pita Jobn Porter wero Generals King
and Ricketts, wbo wore themselves
chiefly responsible for tbe Bull Run
disaster. As tbe evidence shows, th
two officers were ordered with their
commands lo prevent Longstroet from
pushing through Thoroughfare Gap.
But they abandoned their posts with
out orders and Gen. Longstroet suc
ceeded in getting in front of Gon. For
ter, who held bim during a long Sum
mer't day so that he aould not go to
tbe assistance of Stonewall Jackson,
who was fighting with the main body
of Pope's army. Upon tbia state of
facts the advisory board was justified in
declaring tbat Gen. Porter saved the
Union army from disaster on the 29th
of August, 18C2. It soems monstrous
at this day tbat such an outrage could
have beep perpetrated or perm i tod as
tht detail for a court martial of two
officers of the meanest capacity, wbo
were themselves guilty of gross disobe
dience and neglect, in ordor that tbey
might put tbe bnrden of their offense
npen an Innooent soldier wbo ws
faithfully and ably discharging bis
duty. With Pope and M'Dowell as the
principal witnesses against Porter, and
with King and Ricketts for bis ju Jges,
the trial was as foul a conspiracy as is
recorded In military annals, The on,
ly detente of Secretary Stanton it that
bt was deceived by those wbo bad tbe
deepest Interest In misrepresenting and
traducing Porter tbat they might es
cape the oonsequonoes of their milita
ry incapacity. But the advisory board,
consisting of Generals Schoflold, Terry
and Getty, has patiently unraveled the
web of talsohood that was woven for
tht destruction of Gen. Porter. Had
officers likt these been on tbe court
martial tbt great wrong would never
bave been committed. Justioe will not
be done to Gon. Porter until be it re
stored to rank as well as to full pay
tor all the time tbat bt was put in un
merited disgraoe. Evon tbat wi)l be
tar from compensating for all that be
bas suffered, If he had not been torn
from his command: Inert It no doubt
tbat he would have reached tbe high
positioni in the army and havt per
formed the most valuable Sorvlces to

from tbe thrilling annals of tbe war,

THE MARSHAL FRAUDS.
The editor of the Butler Herald
says: "Abe Wallace committee now
taking testimony in relation to frauds
in tbe late election in Philadelphia,
are bringing to light the handiwork of
Republican politicians in this city,
Marshal Korns testifies tbat be ap
pointed 773 deputies, and these were
placed in all the voting precincts in the
city. Let It be asked, for what? Under
pretense of having a fair elcction,wheo
it was known that every one of tbe
deputiot was an unscrupulous Repub
lican wbo understood the ways of
fraud, and did not hesitate to commit
it when required f Besides these, tbero

these, too, were tent out on the day of
election on political duty under a Re
publican Mayor and then nine-tenths
cf the eleotion officers were Republi

THE FEDERAL ELECTION IN
FAMY.
Look at the workings of the Federal
election law In Philadelphia: In tho
first nlaco there is onlv one Congres
sional district in the city tbat of
speaker llandalrs; . there are 1,ZUU
policemen on the active rorce i(f Re
publicansdirected by a partisan
Mayor; of the C86 eloction districts in
the city, four-fifths have Ropublican
uieeiiuii unicorn; mere is a registration
of voters under Republican control ;
the Judges of the Courts are Ropubli
can, and to prevent tbe intervention of
tho Democratic Sheriff, tho LogiBlature
passed a law depriving his deputies ot
all power over elections as peace offi
cers. Besides all this, and because of
this fact, thoro is a Rnpublican major
ity in tho city of ten or fifteen thou
sand. But all this did not eive tho Repub
licans a fair shoie! that is a suns
thing in carrying the Democratic dis
trict in the city, and defeating Randall.
so U arshal Kerns, one ol il r. 11 a yes
appointees, comes on the stngo, and
appoints 733 deputy United States
Marshals, every one or whom was a
Republican, and many ot them, as the
Marshal certifies, "active workers;"
the deputy Marshals get fivo dollars a
day for thoir services ; a lot of Super
visors are also appointed, and in the
eloction ot last November, Marshal
Kerns testifies he managed to expend
$:i5,000 out of the Unitod States Treas
ury. Every cent of it wont in aid of
the Uepublican party. It was one
branch of their campaign sorvice.
When Marshal Kerns was asked by
Senator Hoar if, without the Super
visors and deputy Marshals in Phila
delphia, tbere would be danger of
Irnud, be bad the manliness to declare :
I think, at far at the United Statet
Supervitort and Marthalt are concerned,
the city of Philadelphia can do without
them very well. -.
In the history ot our elections, there
has been no such infamy at tbis elec

among the honest masses of tho people
thoro has boen a quiet movemont from

was committed, that we, have omitted
