TUK8DAT IVBNIMO, JUNE 13, 1882.
GarleM aa laaecraaa.
It will be remembered that Gen. Gar
field's position in the army was chief of
staff te Gen. Reseerans. A chief of
staff is the confidential aid, counseller,
daily associate, and.se far m it is pessi
ble te assure such a thing, the personal
friend of bis commanding officer. It is
a position in which perfect confidence en
the one side and absolute geed faith en
the ether are supremely necessary."
Seme time after July. 1863. Gen. Kese
crans was removed from bis command,
and in the Sun of November 26, 1879,
appeared the following, manifestly from
the pea of its editor, mh Dana, who bad
been assistant secretary of war at the
time of Gen. Kesecrans' removal :
Neither is it true, as has sometimes
been stated, that Reseerans was removed
en account of facts alleged in the reports
which the assistant secretary of war
Dana constantly sent te Washington.
He carefully informed the administration
of all that happened at Chattanooga ; but
it was net nntil the situation exhibited in
his repoets was emphatically illustrated by
a private communication which Gen. J. A.
Garfield, chief of staff te Reseerans, ad
dressed te Secretary Chase, that the ad
ministration resolved te act decisively
upon the subject.
Very seen following this article in the
Sun and under date of January 19, 1880,
Gen. Garfield wrote te Gen. Reseerans,
with direct reference te this statement
in the Sun, and declared that " any
charge whether it comes from Dana or
any ether liar te the effect that I was in
any sense untrue te you or unfaithful te
our friendship has no particle of truth
in it ;" and he" fearlessly challenged all
the rascals in the world " te publish any
letters written by him te Secretary Chase
while he was chief of Reseerans' staff.
When Blaine, in his eulogy of Garfield,
reflected upon the army of the Cumber
land, Reseerans very naturally publish
ed this letter from Garfield te himself
as his own best vindication. Thus chal
lenged as a liar, the editor of the Shu
being placed in possession of the Gar
field Chase letter, very naturally and
very properly printed it, because it
showed conclusively that Garfield as
Reseerans' chief of staff had secretly
written a confidential letter te a member
of the cabinet, expressing a lack of con
fidence In his commander, and se im
pressing Secretary Chase and President
Lincoln, that it determined their pur
pose te remove Reseerans.
"Whatever may be thought of Garfield's
judgment in the matter, of ResecranB'
military administration, there is no
room te doubt his breach of military pro
prieties and of geed faith in secretly dis
patching sucli a letter te Washington.
Moreover, it was entirely inconsistent
with a eulogy en Reseerans which he
afterwards delivered en the fleer of the
Heuse ; and it could net be reconciled
at all with the declarations in his letter
of January 19, 1880, te Reseerans, when
he said he had never "in any sense"
been untrue te him or unfaithful te their
friendship.
When, therefore, this letter from Gar
field te Chase was first made public, at
thi- very time of a superserviceable
effeit te exalt Garfield's character high
above its merits, his friends readily saw
that it exhibited duplicity en his pars
net only when it was first written, but
when he afterwards disavowed it and
" fearlessly challenged " its production.
In some quarters, therefore, its genuine
ness was denied ; in ethers the ostrich estrich
like defense was made for it that Gar
field's criticism en Reseerans was sound,
which was net the point at issue at all ;
while from all along the line of Mr.
Garfield's friends there arose a bitter
howl against the publication of the let
ter, every sort of choice invective being
fired at these who had published it.
Te set all doubts at rest as te its gen
uineness and as te the motives which
prompted its publication, Mr. J. W.
Shuckers, who was private secretary te
Chase, and who, we believe, has the ma
terials for his biography, publishes in
the Sun a letter which he has written te
a friend, elaborating the above plain
facts and showing most conclusively
that Gen. Reseerans' removal was due
te the Garfield letter te Chase, and that
Lincoln was influenced by this letter te
terminate the military career of Rese,
crans and change the organization of his
army ; and, furthermore, that the publi
cation of this letter was entirely justified
as a vindication of Mr. Dana, and in re
sponse te Garfield's challenge for the
publication of such an epistle.
Mr. Shuckers also appends te this
letter some ethers from Garfield te
Chase, which curiously enough, illus
trate the military capacity of the
former and his fitness te judge
if Reseerans moved forward with
proper speed or net. This illustra
tion is te be found in " the Straight
expedition," which Garfield expressly
fitted out, and upon which he wrote that
he liad " set his heart." The result of
it was that " Cel. Straight surrendered
himself and 1,466 officers and men te
Gen. Ferrest, and the whole force com
prising about 1,800 men, some of whom
were killed was lest, part of it before
the final surrender, without accomplish
ing any result of value." Frem which
circumstance may be inferred the value,
from a military point of view, of the
criticism of Reseerans' chief of staff
upon his commander.
It hardly needed Mr. Hepkins' em
phatic reassurance that the se-called
" secret circular," warning Democrats
against an anti-monopoly platform, did
net proceed from him or his friends.
He suspects, as we have already intimat
ed, that it was a clumsy and cowardly
contrivance intended te injure him and
the respectable newspapers which pub
lished It yesterday with the accompany
ing inference that it was issued by Wm.
I j. Scott, in the interest of Mr. Hepkins
who, by the way, has had no commu
nication with Mr. Scott for nearly two
years would de themselves credit by
ferreting out whence the news of this
circular first emanated. That would
probably disclose the purposes of these
set it afloat. Even the Philadelphia
Times, which is strenuously opposed te
Hepkins' nomination, recognizes the
stupidity of thk " stent circular" busi
ness. Democratic' nominations will be
neither forced nor defeated this year
by the roerbach process.
We de net share the apprehension of
some of our esteemed contemporaries
that any candidate can be " net up " en
the Democratic state convention by the
machinations of beaaea, the wire-pulling
of self-constituted leaden, or by the per
egrination of agents traveling ever the
state in this or that interest. All the
signs Indicate a free convention. There
are no factions in the Democratic party
of this state te-day, there is no boss
and no partition of influence between
bosses, and no candidate new before the
public is being urged with perti
nacity by any of the many gentlemen
recognized as standing abreast in the
leadership of the party in this state.
This gratifying condition of things is
likely te continue until the convention
meets, and it will net be disturbed by
the necessities of the sensational news
papers te invent fresh canards almost
daily.
The Evening Telegram is the name of a
new, neat and newsy daily started in Al Al
lentewn by "The Leisenrings." Mere
come te go than te stay, but Allentown
has room " in the upper story."
Ur in Venango county the Independents
have control of the Republican machine,
run the county committee, the primaries
and the conventions, and anybody who
wants te get en the "regular" ticket there
has te declare against Cameren and boss
ism. This is entertaining.
The Press implores Governer Heyt te
stand forth as the deliverer of the Repub
lican party from its depth of perplexity.
As the recognized head of the party in the
state he is asked te issue a capleranew
convention. That is an original idea.
Seme of the New Yerk Hebrews, who
have been earnest and anxious in welcem
ing the Russian refugees and furnishing
them with new homes and opportunities
new complain that they are arriving in such
numbers as te overtax the generosity
of their American friends, and that more
over the immigrants an entirely tee loath
te take te agricultural pursuits and earn
their livelihood by tilling the soil.
"The present system of inflation of prices
is shameless," says the Philadelphia Press,
and the New Yerk Sun wants it net te de
forgotten that the high prices are the effect
of keeping up war taxes after seventeen
years of peace. " Abolish the taxes, and
prices will come down ; but the Republican
majority in Congress prefer te extort from
the people a surplus of one' hundred and
fifty millions a year, an enormous mass of
money against whieh endless schemes of
jobbery and plunder may be directed."
The form of marriage proposal popular
with New Yerk young men will new be te
this effect : " Darling ; will you be my
wife, year after next" Ferjudge Wal
lace has found that if the engegement is
net te be performed within a year ; if the
wedding is set for a year later than the
proposal, the premise must be in writing,
or it is net obligatory. The ' statute of
frauds " in that state requires written evi.
deuce of a contract in order te sustain a
lawsuit upon it. And declares void "every
agreement that by its terms is net te be
performed in one year from the making
thereof."
The withdrawal of Wheeler and Phelps
makes room for two mere appointees en
the tariff commission and the sharp crit
icism en the first batch will make Arthur
careful in the new selections. The New
Yerk importers are likely te get. at least
one man and Jacksen S. Shultz, an avowed
free trader, is urged ; also ox-Governer
Fish, A. A. Lew, Solen Humphreys, while
Samuel L. Haynes is urging himself, and
has said in his own behalf that he " didn't
knew a blanked thing about tariff and
wasn't either for protection or reform but
for glory," for which his taste had been
educated during a brief period of service
en the defunct World's Fair commission.
"Judge Bill" Bunk, it seems, has
made a statement in order te get Cameren
out of the scrape he get into by threaten
ing the tariff. Bunn says it was he,
himself, who told the story te the reporters
and that he did net say that Cameren in
dulged in this language, but that he,
Bunn, if he were Cameren, would de it.
On the ether hand the ' Evening Telegraph
has an affidavit from its reporter, made
before this "explanation" of Bunn, in
whieh the reporter swears positively that
Bunn said Cameren said it, that he re
peated this next day, and that even after
Cameren and Cooper denied it, when their
denial was put at Bunn, he simply " smiled
and walked away."
The Graphic has been makiag a critical
examination of the crop of Decoration
day poetry this year,and this is the best it
has been able te find :

"drew his inspiration" from a county
office, en the profits of which he fattened
his Stalwartism like a mouse in the meal
tub, is net exactly the sort of a man te go
down into Bart township and te tell the
Republicans them of " Beb " McCIure's
political derelictions. The first thing
Urban may be asked will likely be an ex
planation of that bull of 1211.60 which he

distance ahead of the ethers, came across
a male bear, a female and three cubs. Net
heeding the caution given him by the
guide, he opened fire. The balance of the

who first reached the scene, came up, tbe
bear had killed the four dogs and was at
tacking Milliken, the latter making a gal
lant fight for life. The guide hurried te

closed upon Milliken ani killed him. The
bear then attacked Shire.;, who was terri
bly hurt and would have been killed had
net Watsen gained the spot and shot the
male bear dead. The ethers of the party
poured a volley into the female bear, who
was also attacking, and dispatched her.
Shires was conveyed te his home en a lit

STATE POLITICS.
ABOUT THAT SBXHSR CIKUCLAK.
Mr. HepKlns Denies all Knowledge of It
Net in Mis Interest.
Pittsburgh Dispatch te the Timee.
Hen. James H. Hepkins was found in
the office of the Pett, conversing with
Colonel James P. Barr, when the Times
correspondent sought him te learn his
views concerning the corporation circular
alleged te have been sent te eastern Demo
cratic politicians by Allegheny county
Democrats. A newspaper containing the
circular was shown te Mr. Hepkins. "I
never heard of or saw this circular until
you showed it te mej"' said he. "I
think I can stand en any platform the
Democratic party will make. The
convention can make a platform te suit
me, whether I stand en it or under.
I have been a Democrat long enough te
safely say that the suggestion that this
circular was issued at my instance or in
my interest is just as absurd as the ether
Republican story, that Den Cameren
favors my nomination. There has never
been a year since I have had a vote that I
haven't opposed tbe methods of the Came
rens, whether they were practiced in the
Democratic party while they were mem
bers of it or since they became the leaders
of the Republican party. I can't change
my course new, even te secure the prede
termined aid of Den."
"Have you any notion where this circu
lar originated ?"
"I have net the slightest notion," re
plied Mr. Hepkins. " I suppose we may
leek for all sorts of sensational publica
tiens."
"What is your notion?" asked there
porter of Colonel Barr.
"I don't think," replied Colonel Bair,
" that any Democratic politician out hore
get up the circular. I don't believe there
is a particle of truth in it."
" I should think," broke in Mr Hepkins,
"that it was circulated by Republicans or
some Democrats who want te defeat my
nomination. My record has been an
anti-monopoly record, if it has been any
thing. My pet measure in Congress was
the anti-discrimination bill, te check the
power of monopolies. If Hen. W. L.
Scott, of Erie, is engineering any move
meut in my favor he is doing it se quietly
that this is the first time I have heard of
it. I have net seen him nor heard a word
from him for two years."
" I don't think any politician ever get
up such a circular. I don't beliove there
is a particle of truth in it," put in Cel.
Barr.
" I have nothing te say about Judge
Turnkey. I don't knew anything about
his views," added Mr. Hepkins.
" Yeu have seen tickets suggested iu
the Eastern papers in which they use your
name for congressman-at-Iarge. t, Yeu
ought te declare yourself. Politicians and
uewspapers have no right te deceive the
public," said Cel. Barr.
"I have already declared myself and de
se again," said Mr. Hepkins. "I am net
like the man who went te Washington te
seek a prime ministership, but couldn't
get any office and finally asked if he could
get any office-holder's clothes. I don't
want any man's clothes."
"On the four state ticket thus far nomi
nated the only Allegheny county man
named is peer Tem Armstrong," said
Colonel Barr ; "but the Democrats of
Allegheny county don't propose te be put
off with congressman at-large. Yeu can
see that they are making up tickets all
ever the state with you for that office."
"Yes," replied Mr. Hepkins; "but I
have declared myself en that subject. I
have nothing mere te say."
Tbe Latest Boomerang.
Philadelphia Evening Telegraph. Ind. Kep.
Like all men in a desperate situation the
Cameren managers are overreaching them
selves in every direction. The only hope
of the " machine " is in Democratic de
moralization, but in their wild pursuit of
this characteristic scheme of the bosses
and their secret agents are exposing their
plaus and defeating themselves at every
step. Their object is either te control the
Democratic state convention or te se do de
moralize it and the party that the cam
paign en that side of the lines will be a
disastrous blunder at the beginning and
all the way through. A number of
leading and worthy Democrats have been
placed in the field for the gubernatorial
nomination, but only two, Pattison and
Hepkins, have developed any positive
strength among the peeple, and it is a
suggestive fact that these are the very
men the nomination of either of whom
the Cameren party dreads. The bosses
knew that Pattison at the head of the
Democratic ticket would mean a whirl
wind of disaster fer-the Beaver ticket iu
Philadelphia, and that Hepkins in the
same position would be followed by a com
plete machine collapse in Western Penn
sylvania. Se these two leading candi
dates have drawn the concentrated
fire of the baffled and beaten in
advance Cameren managers. As inti
mated, however, the attack is of the
blunderbus order the standard Cooper
weapon and the recoil will be most des
tructive. In brief, Hepkins is charged
with " well known Camerenian symya
thies," a statement which, in view of the
record he has made in fighting Cameron Cameren
ism in its western stronghold, is almost
tee stupidly false te be noticed. Then it
is sought te "down" him by a grossly
false accusation of being in a corporation
league with William L. Scott, of Erie,
when if there is one single public ques
tion en which the Allegheny can
didate is a little "gene," it is
in
his intense 'anti-corporation and
anti-monopoly ideas and principles
te sacrifice which under no cir
cumstances would he consent in order
te secure any public honor or position.
Equally unjust, absurd, and futile is the
assault en Pattison, who is falsely declared
te have aroused the most bitter antagon
isms within his party ranks in this city and
throughout the state, the fact being that
the Philadelphia Reformer has been "an
tagonized" only by the bosses, their hench
men, and the corrupt Cameren Demo
cratic contingent. What opposition has
been shown te Pattison in rural sections
net predisposed te local candidates has
been the stealthy" work of secret machine
agents who have been " en the read " for
months. But the exposure of this despi
cable work of the bosses will net drive them
from tbe field ; they will renew the assault
from undercover, using machine organs in
disguise, and will leave no stone unturned
te encompass the defeat et Hepkins, Pat
tison, or any man of tbe kind, strong with
the peeple and invincible in his integrity,
who may come te the front at Ilarrisburg
en June 23.

aSUTHISR FIRE.
Probably of Accidental Origin.
Last evening about half-past 9, an alarm
of fire was sounded from box 41, located
at the corner of Lemen and Market streets,
it being discovered that the Eagle cigar
box factory of Bcchteld & Bre., Ne. 416,
Market street, was en fire. The firemen
promptly responded and the flames were
speeily get under control, net however,
until damage te the extent of $1,000 or
$2,000 was done. The damaged building
belongs te A. J. Eberly, esq. It is a one
and a-half story frame originally designed
for two small dwelling houses, one of
which, Ne. 418, is occupied by Jeseph
Goedcndorf and family. Bechtold Bres.
occupied the ether, using the front room
as an office, and the back one as a stock
rgem, for the storage of labels, edgings
and ether material used in the manufacture
of cigar boxes. In the rear of and connect
ed with this building is a large two story
frame building, containing a steam en
gine, boiler and a variety of machinery
for sawing lumber and making cigar boxes.
It is net known with certainty hew the
fire originated, but it is believed te have
been from sparks escaping through a
large crevice of a very badly constructed
chimney located between Mr. Goedendorfs
dwelling and Bechtold Brether's storeage
room. The sparks probably set fire te the
second-story lloer, burned through and
ran along between the lloer and ceiling
until it found vent in Buchteld's room,
when some of the burning embers fell
into two large boxes filled with cigar
labels and edgings and seen the room was
in a blaze. The floors, doers, windows
and window-frames, stairway, and indeed
the entire interior of the storeroom are
almost entirely destroyed ; but the fire
men prevented the flames from extending
cither te the factory proper or te Mr. Good Geod Goed
endorfs residence.
Mr. Eberly has an insurance of $600 en
the building in the Londen Assurance
company, of which Bausman & Burns are
agents. This will roero than cover the
less. Bechtold & Bre. have an insurance
of $1,400 en their damaged stock in the
Phoenix insurance comp any, of which U.
R. Breneman is agent, which will cover
their less.
When the fire broke out, and it appear
ed that the cntire structure would be dis dis
treyed, Mr. Goedendorfs furniture was
hastily carried out, and was damaged te
an extent of about $50. lie has no in
surance. Had the fire occurred an hour
or two later, after the family had retired
for the night, it is net impossible that the
entire building would have been destroyed
and the inmates have perished in the
flames. The defective chimney has long
been a source of complaint and annoyance
te Mr. Goodendorf, as every time a fire
was made in his kitchen steve his house
was filled with smoke.

THE EQUINE PABADOX.
WHAT TBATIOCD HORSES CAX DO.'
A Fine Exhibition et Animal Intelligence
Last Kit tit.
Last evening Prof. Bartholemew exhib
ited bis trained horses in this city for the
first time. The opera house was packed
with people and it was almost impossible
te secure standing room after 8 o'clock.
The scenery bad all been thiewn back en
the stage, which is covered with a thick
coating of saw dust. Twe large and heavy
ropes are stretched aciess the fient.
There are sixteen animals in the company,
including three ponies aud one .small
denkeyC There are horses of all kinds
"and colors. It is wonderful what intelli
gence these animals are possessed of and
their performance is simply astonishing.
The horses are first introduced by the
professor as scholars. They are en their
way te school and arc as frisky and play
ful as children and cut 'all kinds of capers.
This scene is ended in a short time by the
ringing of the school bell by one of the
horses. The ether animals form themselves
into classes, the small ones being en one
side and the larger ones en the ether. Prof.
Bartholemew then takes his scat aud
gives orders te the animals ; ene takes his
coat and bringabim a chairs another brines
bis mail and a third cleans the blackboard
with a large spenge held between his
teeth. Bucephalus and Caesar each
danced a jig in a great deal better style
than many actors. A real wonderful act
is that of Ceasar who at the word from
any one in the audience turns te the right
or left and makes the figure eight. Abdal
lah is a beautiful bay mare and she gives
exhibitions of pacing, trotting, running
and marching, traveling in either style at
the word of command from the professor.
After this act the horses are given a recess
for a short time, when they-' again begin
cutting capers, but are soeu brought to
gether by the ringing of the bell. Nellie,
a beautiful little bay mare, and a great
favorite, rolls a barrel up and down a
plank which is balanced, and Prince
and Pepe see-saw ou the same.
Among the horses there are seven that can
jump and notwithstanding the small
stage they did their work last night
without a break. Prince and Pope were
placed alongside of a gate and the horses
one after another as their names wcre
called, jumped ever them. One of the
best acts is the murder trial in which all
the horses take part. The donkey acts
as ludge and he is seated en ay
high place where he leeks as wise as an
owl. A pony is the court crier
and six horses compose the jury. One of
the animals is tried for murder, and after
seme consultations he is acquitted by the
jury. The verdict is takeu by a horse,
and after that all have a geed time. The
drilling of the animals is something very
wonderful, and it is astonishing with what
precision they go through the many diffi
cult movements. The show ends with the
great battle scene iu which the animals
have a fort and sheet the gunsthenibelvcs.
Several, drop ever as if dead and ene runs
te the fort te secure the iflag. He is shot
and wounded, and while sitting down
another animal steals- the flag from his
mouth. After the battle they am all
formed in line when the flag is handed by
the horses from ene te another all along
the line. Iu the battle act a great amount i
of animal intelligence is exhibited, and
the horses go at their work as though it
was a real battle. Each ene knows what
he has te de and he does it at ence. The
animals all knew their names aud these
of their companions, and when one is called
upon te de anything the ethcis leek at
him as though they desired te urge hini.
They also seem te have a knowledge of
number, as they can allbe called out by
the mention of the number of each.
The show is an excellent one, and it is
doubtful if there is another troupe of
horses se well trained in the world. The
large andiances are well deserved and they
will undoubtedly continue all week.
