General Garfield will make a grave
mistake if he shall affect to iguoro the
serious charges which meet him at the
very outsot of his campaigu for the
Presidency. They are not the whis
perings of anonymous slanderers, nor
the rank growth of partisan calumny
which may spring up in a sight at the
feet of the purest man in public life
so soon as he receives a nomination
for the Presidency. Every Presiden
tial candidate from Washington down
has had to trample upon that sort of
thing, and not one of them was the
worse for it in the end. Hut now for
the first time in the history of this
country does a great party present as
its candidate one whose personal and
official integrity has been impeached
by the result of a Congressional inves
tigation. If Geueral Garfield's friends
suppose that a candidacy so beclouded
will receive the approval or toleration
of the American people when the facts
are understood they are sadly mis
taken and in the spirit of kindness he
and they should be undeceived at
once.
The Credit Mobilier scandal is still
fresh in the memory of all. Eight
years ago it was exposed to public
view, and it is unnecessary to tell the
story over again. Suffice it to say
that the disclosures made by a Con
gressional committee of investigat'on
were death to mauy a fair reputation.
Some of the Congressmen implicated
found it expedient to retire from pub
lic life and have never since ventured
to ask any trust at the hands of the
people. Others were saved as by fire ;
the verdict against them was simply,
"Not proven they were allowed to
keep their seats in Congress, but did
not escape condemnation. Among
these fortunate ones was James A.
Garfield, of Ohio. When the charge
was made through the newspapers that
liis name was on the list of Senators
and Representatives involved by the
revelation of Oakes Ames he was
qtiiek to repel thccharge. Inexplicit
words, through an Associate Press dis
patch, he authorized a comprehensive
denial. He had never subscribed for
nor received nor seen any share of
that stock ; on the contrary, he had
twice declined to have anything to do
with it. When the affair caine before
a Congressional committee, however,
and he was put upon oath and con
fronted by Oakes Ames, be explained
that he did take a certain amount of
stock and left it in the hands of Mr.
Ames until the accruing dividends
thereon should pay the principal of
the purchase money. A check drawn
by Mr. Ames in Garfield's favor was,
the latter explained, only a loan from
Mr. Ames to him. Mr. Ames, on his
part, reluctantly denied the loan and
settled the question by producing the
check of the Credit Mobilier Company,
which had been passed to Mr. Gar
field's account. The committee came
to this conclusion :
The facts in regard to Mr. Garfield
are as follows : Mr. Garfield agreed with
Mr. Atnes to tuke ten shares of Credit
Mobilier stock, but did not pay for the
tame. Mr. Ames received the SO |>er
cent, dividend in bonds, and sold the
bonds for per cent., and also received
the 60 per cent, cash dividend, which
together paid the price of the stock and
interest and left a balance of $320. This
sum was paid over to Mr. Garfield bv a
check on the Sergeant-at-arms, and Mr-
Garfield then understood this sum was
the balance of divideuds after paying
for the stock.
The committee, however, charitably
failed to emphasize certain minor dis
crepancies in Mr. Garfield's statement
which gave his friends great pain.
< >ue of these was that he explained his
need of a loan by saying that a trip to
Europe had somewhat impoverished
him, whereas it appeared by other tes
timony that the trip in question did
not occur until after the Credit Mobi
lier transactions. It was several ugly
things like this that led that able Re
publican journal, the New York Time*,
to declare that Mr. Garfield presented
"a most distressing figure," while the
New York Tribune thought he was
fortunate to escape expulsion by a Re
publican House. Other victims had
been selected, however, and the House
by a ruling of the Speaker, evaded a
vote on Mr. Wood's resolution, which
absolutely condemned Garfield and
others for becoming pecuniarily inter
ested in a corporation dependent upon
Congress for its maintenance and sup
port.
We have stated the case mildly and
dispassionately solely for the purpose
of calling the attention of General
Garfield and his friends to the gravity
of the matter and the manifest pro
priety of an immediate explanation if
he is to remain a candidate for the
Ppresidency. General Garfield's nom
ination was not premeditated ; for pre
meditation would have been fatal to it.
It was born of a crisia in the conven
tion. There was no time to think,
and probably not one of the 399 dele
gates who, in the flurry of the moment,
cast their votes for him as the only
way of escape from the third term,
recollected that this was the Garfled
who was involved in the Credit Mobi
lier scandal. If they had so recollect
ed they would have rejected the Gar
fleld movement as a suggestion of
suicide. The sober second thought
has since stolen over their minds und
is possessing the country. Genernl
Garfield cannot come toward too soon
with his explanation. If therenre ex
tenuating circumstances, let us know
what they are. If he was more fool
than knave, as some of his friends say,
and has since found wisdom, let him
throw himself upon the charity of the
country. If the Congressional com
mittee got the whole thing down wrong
in their report, let him say so. What
is war ted is his statement of the facts.
It will not do for him to say, with his
friend Governor Foster, that "those
charges are settled," for the only set
tlement that hus been made left him
in a very bad plight. The Republi
can party cannot afford to carry 011
the campaign under the cloud that is
now hanging over its candidate for
the Presidency.
THAT LIE ONCE MOKE.
From the Washington Post.
Not only did the Republican party,
unaided by the Democrats, crush out
the rebellion —according to Senator
Iloar—but that party was equally suc
cessful in abolishing slavery, without
any assistouce from Democrats.
It ought not to be necessary to
brand these statements as utterly and
absurdly false. To every intelligent
mind they bear übundunt evidence of
their falsity. Hut for the couruge and
patriotism of Democrats, the Union
would have been destroyed inevitably.
In the rank and file of the Union
armies, there were more Democrats
than Republicans.
It was noticeable that
those Republican leaders who hud
been most active in fomenting strife
and stirring up the war feeling were
never seen within range of Confederate
bullets, shot or shell. When the war
which they had aided in precipitating
on the country at last burst upon us,
those howlers and shriekers were the
mildest mannered men on the conti
nent. The preservation of their corpo
real integrity and the accumulation of
riches coiner! from the blood and
agony of their fellow-citizens, were the
two objects to which their attention
was devoted with such zeal and energy
as could not fail of success.
Democrats who had done all in
their power to avert the awful calami
ty of civil war accepted the issue when
it could no longer be put off. They
took up arms promptly, more in sor
row than in anger, but with a deter
mination to defend the Union and put
down the rebellion. From the incep
tion to the close of the long struggle
there was not an hour when they fal
tered, there was not a battle-field that
was not stained with their blood. In
the cabinet, in the Capitol and in the
army, in all places where intelligence
and patriotism were required, Demo
crats were not wanting.
Mr. Hoar and his associates know
this, and they know that the man who
declares that the Republican party
crushed the rebellion tells a lie—an
infamous lie, because it is a villainous
libel on the honored dead.
The abolition of slavery was an in
cident of the war, and not its object.
Mr. Lincoln and the leaders of his
party most earnestly disavowed any
snch purpose. lie said that if he
could save the Union with slavery, he
would do it. His party saidsthe same.
Hut slavery perished as a result of
the war, in which Democrats bore as
conspicuous and honorable a part as
their Republican opponents. And hav
ing been thus destroyed, the Republi
can party can no more claim to have
abolished it than to hnve fought all
the battles without Democratic sympa
thy or aid.
Mr. Hoar is not the first man who
has put forth these false assertions.
They have been repeated thousands of
times in all possible shapes and on
every conceivable occasion. It is time
to hurl back such caljmmes in the
faces of their inventors. A Senator
has 110 more right to utter slanders
than a cohbler. In attempting to ap
propriate to his party all the honor,
all the toil, the suffering ami the sac
rifices made by the men of the North
during those years of trial and con
flict Mr. Hoar seeks to rob both the
living and the dead.
FALSE ASSERTIONS.
The following running comments of
the New York St in when referring to
the claims of the Republicans should
l>e read by every voter in the country.
We have room to give a few specimens.
The quoted sentences are from the
Chicago platiorm:
"The Republican party suppressed a
rebellion which had armed nearly a
nearly a million of then to subvert the
national authority." Noitdidn't. The
loyal people of the Union suppressed
that rebellion.
"It has raised the value of our paper
currency from 38 per cent, to the par of
gold." No it hasn't. The credit of the
nation and the industry of the people
have brought the currency to par.
"It has restored upon a solid basis
payment in coin for all the national ob
ligations." No it hasn't. It has stood
by while the laws of the trade have
operated.
"It has paid 9888,000,000 of the pub
lic debt." No it hasn't. The people of
the United Htates have paid the money.
And but for the monstrous dishonesty
of successive Republican administrations
the public debt would have been furth
er reduced by hundreds of millions, or
the burdens of the people would have
been las by hundreds of millions—the
hundreds of millions wasted and stolen
under Orant.
•'We nffirra that no further grant of
, tho public domain should be made to
any railway or other corporation." You
affirmed the same thing four years ago
and eight years ugo, and kept on giving
away the public domain until the people
made you stop.
"Slavery having perished in the States,
its twin barbarity, polygamy, must die
in the Territories." You pronounced
its death warrant four years ago, and
have not raised a hand to execute the
sentence.
"History will honor ltutherford B.
Hayes." That is a lie.
"The reformation of the civil service
shall be thorough, radical, and com
plete." You promised it in 1872 and in
187 G. You will keep on promising it
as long as the promise wins the votes of
fools.
The real platform of the Republican
party was enunciated at Chicago, not by
the Hon. Edwards Pierrepont, but by
one Flanagan of Texas. It is truthful
and brief: "What are we hero for ex
cept to get office ? '
A Picture of Conkling.
HIS l-HOTOORAI'II AT Cll ICAOO, AS TAKEN
"HV TIIE MAN ON THE TOI' SEAT."
The following sketch is from the
Chicago Tribune:
To a man on the "top seat" Senator
Conkling does not appear to be the
Adonis he has been painted by those on
the bottom seats. The majestic digni
ty with which he proceeds up the aisle,
after having timed his entrance so as to
catch the gallery, look at the distance
of the "top seat' 1 like a necessity im
posed by the assaults of time upon his
legs. lie poses for grand effect. His
entrance carries him a considerable dig
since beyond his seat, as this gives
him an opportunity to return, so that
the audience may have a front and rear
view of him. He stands in the aisle to
read his mails, and when his henchmen
hand him letters they are expected to
remove the envelopes. He applauds
high, so that his faction may catch their
cues. He waves everything aside that
gets in his way, from a messenger boy
to a policeman, and from the delegate
from D.ikota to the speaker on the
stage. From tho top seat one cannot
categorically affirm which is the conven
tion, Senator tk>nkling or the hi -idreds
of delegates around him. When he
laughs, all the Cockling men laugh-
When he nods his head, all the Conk
ling men nod their heads. Other lead
ers and delegates desiring to see people
go and hunt them. Senator Conkling
holds receptions in the aisles. If he
were an uglier man he would be a good
proxy for Mephistopheles, for he is the
embodiment of a sneer set on garish
courtesy. When matters are distaste
ful to him. or he is close pressed, he
waves it all aside and devotes himself
to the gallery, where he know j he has a
constituency of hero worshippers and
lion hunters. When crowded into a
corner, as he was with reference to his
motion to forfeit the rights in the con
vention of the three West Virginia del
egates, he withdraws, not with an ap
pearance of defeat, but as if he were
conferring a favor upon the convention.
What influence propinquity to the New
York senator might have on the man
on the top seat it is difficult to say;
but, regarding him from an altitude,
distance does not lend enchantment to
the view.
Garfield's I'art in the Fraud.
From th* !Unn*r.
('ongressnian Hewitt, while a member
of that body, was one of the most
able workers on the floor and gave
even such lenders as Garfield no little
trouble. We copy from u speech
made hy the Hon. A brain Hewitt,
Feb. 24, 1874, iu answer to a slander
littered by Garfield against Tilden.
Mr. Hewitt said :
I think, however, that I can account
for this extraordinary proceeding.
Boring the progress of this debate, a
gallant soldier, an able lawyer who has
been Atto: ney-tleneral of tny State, and
who is a staunch Republican. General
Francis C. Barlow, of New York, bad
given evidence on the lower floor of
this capitol that the vote of the State
of Florida had been unjustly counted
for Mr. Hayes; The conclusion being
that if it had been counted for Mr.
Tilden he would have been occupying
the White House instead of its de facto
and de jure tenant. This evidence must
have touched the gentleman from Ohio
to the quick ; it must have revived the
memories of eight to seven ; it must
have reminded him how, when the
electoral bill was |>ending in this House
for one whole evening he devoted him
self to proving that the law creating
the commission was unconstitutional,
hut if it should be passed it would be
the duty of the commission to take
evidence of fraud and go behind the
returns. And yet when he was made a
judge, acting under a law which he
had declared to be unconstitutional,
and which, as he had affirmed, required
evidence to be taken, he consented to
violate the constitution and to deny
the admiseion of the evidence which
was necessary to arrive at ihe truth.
The particular words of Garfield's
to which Mr. Hewitt refers are those
uttered in debate and recorded in the
proceedings of the forty-fourth Con
gress. Mr. Garfield remarket!;
The two Houses of Congress say in
effect to this commission : "We trans
fer our powers to you. Construe them
for yourselves. Use or refuse them, as
you please. If you choose to confine
yourselves to the papers that have been
delivered to the President of the Sen
ate, halt there. If you conclude to enter
the Electoral College and overnaul them
enter. If you chooae to oontent your
selves with such an examination, stop
there; but if you wish to go deeper
and embrace within the scope of your
examination all the States and all the
officers of the States, all the ballot
boxes and all the ballots in them, do
so."
This same member of the Commis
sion, Garfield, argued in the Florida
case that it would be a violation of
the powers conferred by the act creat
ing the commission to go behind the
return*. While entertaining this view
strange an it may appear, lie violated
his oath hy going behind the returns
in every contested State, thereby
securing their electoral votes for Mr.
Hayes. Is it safe, we ask the honest,
considerate, and cautious voters of
Lycoming, to place such a tinie-serv
iDg partisan at the head of the gov
ernment ? Is it safe to make a man
President that would destroy the
voice of the people as expressed in
the ballot box, if such a step was
necessary to perpetrate Republican
power ?
" FRONTIER FOLK."
om the New York llenM.
An interesting paper from the pen
of Captain George Booth, entitled
" Frontier Folk," will appear in the
International Review for July. Cap
tain Booth lias had many opportuni
ties of knowing his subject, for he
served as uide on the stuff of General
Miles in several of his recent cam
paigns. What, he asks, do we mean
by the frontier? and what by frontier
folk ? He answers :
The terms came into vogue when
tolerably well defined lines marked the
onset of civilization at the far Went,
and all beyond was wilderness. Yet
to-day, with aettlementa scattered all
over the territories, the phrase loses
none of its significance. It still lias a
geographical import, and another,
deeper than the geographical, suggest
ing a peculiar civilization and a certain
characteristic mode of life. It does
not bring to mind those prosperous
colonies, whose lands surveyed, secured
by good legal titles and freed from
dunger of savage inroadH, have a perm
inent population busily engaged in
founding homes. It takes us rather to
the boundaries of the Indian reserva
tions, along which scattered camps and
settlements of white men are fringed :
to lands which, though legally open to
settlement, arc constantly menaced by
Indians; to those strange, shifting
communities which, sometimes, like
Jonah's gourd, spring up in a night
only to wither away in a day.
Mr. Booth on the whole concludes
that even if sociui distinctions arc not
very fine among these people they
still are happy. Here we have the
nomads of civilization, pushing on
from one point to another all their
life. He may be a farmer, a " road
agent," a trapper or a horse thief.
There are no superfluous refinements
in their society. The citizen is either
" an elegant gentleman " or a liar and
horse thief. Horse thieves are hung.
In fact, homicide on the frontier as
cam pared with horse stealing, is a pec
cadillo. The horse has a |>oaitive value;
the thief a negative one. Justice does
not pursue the man who slays bis fel
low in a quarrel; but if it grasps the
stealer of a purse on the prairie or of a
horse from the herd his last day has
come. Yet he always has the chance
of escaping capture, and of playing in
other frontier cities the rote of " elegant
gentleman " on his earnings, reimburs
ing himself in a professional way : and
he may continue in this career even if
suspected, provided he does not ply his
vocation in those communities which
f e hoi ors with his presence when not
engaged in prosecuting his business.
Personal violence, is, however, mostly
confined to instances where it is for the
profit of the aggressor. The traditional
free fight or killing A man at sight is |
rare, probably much rarer than in the i
Southwest. Benton, the head of navi
gation on the Missouri, was the place
where, according to the story, the early
morning visitor at the barroom before
it had been swept out, expressed his
surprise, although he knew the soil to
be good for vegetables, at the excellence
of its fruit, judging from the large site
of the grapes he saw u|>on the floor,
when Tie waa informed, "stranger,
them's eves ! " the results of the prev
ious evening's amusement. Yet in two
visits to Benton, the writer saw nqt the
least sign of violence even in amuse
ment, although he would be sorry to
have some Bentonians around his camp
at night if the horses we-e not well
guarded or to meet them oa the prairie
without sufficient protection.
When they get a chance to sell out
at a profit, whether it lie a mine, a
claim or a farm, they do so at once
and go on further into the wild. They
are a proud people and have terms of
contempt for travelers unlike them
selves. A tourist is called a " tender
foot," which is very scathing. If you
retort by calling the nomad a " Mis
sourian," you have touched.bottom in
the way of insult. The miners and
prospectors he finds a much more
agreeable class than the farmers. A
peculiarity of the growth of the
mushroom frontier cities is the early
appearance of the lawyer on the
scene. How these legal limbs manage
to worry army officers iR told with
evident feeling. These officers, by the
way, are uot idlers.
It is a common mistake to suppose
that an army officer on the frontier
leads an idle life. Rarely is more than
one of the three officers of the company
present with it, and this one must
accordingly attend every day to all the
company duties. The other two officers
may be detailed on special service, such
as commissary or quartermaster's duties
(and the latter in a new post will be no
sinecure) or attendance on court mar
tial, or searching where lime can be
found ; or they may be on the aick list,
or guarding the wagon train whioh
brings supplies to the poet, or absent on
the loaves which are granted after con
tinuous service. It is not infreqent for
cavalry to be six or eight months on a
campaign without seeing a permanent
camp, much IMS a post where any of
the comforts of civilisation can be
found. With small bodies of troops,
where there are but few officers to form
society for one another, the life becomes
fearfully monotonous and dreary.
Old posts are deserted and new ones
built so frequently that there is little
danger of officers or men stagnating
through idleness, even where Indian
.hostilities are less abundant. An appro
priation by Congress for a new post does
not represent more than a third of the
real expenditure. Tho other two thirds
are supplied "in kind " —that is to say
, by aoldiers' labor. The money appro
priation is only expended for such
things that the soldiers cannot produce
themselves. They cut the timber, run
saw-mills, dig drains, make bricks and
mortar, carry hods and plaster the
inside of houses. The cavalryman is
fortunate if he can leave off digging
long enough to groom his own horse.
Frequently one man is detailed to
groom, feed and take to water the
horses of several of his comrades. The
American soldier on the frontier is
certainly a wonderful being. He is at
most times a day laborer, slouchy in his
hearing and slovenly in hi dress. His
one good suit must be saved for guard
mounting when his turn comes or for
inspection, and the nature of his mili
tary vacations uses up his uniforms
faster than his clothing allowance can
furnish them. He has little or no real
drill, and has been known to go into
action without previously having pulled
the trigger of his rifle. He lias not
the mien or bearing of a soldier—in
military parlance, is not well set up.
Yet in spite of this treatment—
which is virtually a breach of contract
by the government, since the recruit is
led to supi>oseon his enlistment that he
is to be a soldier and not a hod carrier
—in spite of his rarely being taught his
profession or shown how to become
skiliecl in arms or horsemanship, the
American soldier is subordinate, quick
to obey, ready in expedients, uncom
plaining, capable of enduring great
fatigue, brave and trustworthy in ac
tion.
Generally by the time a cavalry officer
has reached middle age bis exposed life
begins to tell upon him. The cavalry,
being mounted, are called upon to do
most of the frontier scouting. Some of
the infantry are also mounted, especial
ly the Fifth infantry. Infantry in such
cases may simply be classed as cavalry,
though armed with a better weapon—
the long Springfield rifle. Marches in
the middle of winter occur only too
often. In many instances the troops
must march with cooked rations and
abstain from lighting fires lest the
smoke may give warning to the Indians
whom they are pursuing, and this with
the thermometer many degrees below
zero. As the Indian is as loath as a
bear to leave his winter quarters, and
little expects the approach of his foe,
such expeditions are often successful, if
a " blizzard " does not happen to blow.
The blizzard, as it is termed in Mon
tana and Wyoming, or the norther, as
it is known in New Mexico, Arizona
and Texas, is a strong, piercing wind
from the north, which blows for some
three days and smites everything that
is not under cover. If the troops are
soared this blizzard they may strike
their wily foe, who has evaded them all
summer, and punish him, with no other
casualties than those of frozen feet and
fingers and the fortune of battle.
The scouts, with their long hair,
faucy clothes and ability to tell lies;
the squaw men, the cattle herders and
other tvpicai frontier people are
pleasantly described.
Russian Superstition.
The strange ceremony of ploughing
around a village in order to drive !
away the cattle plague recently took
place in one of the villages of Russia.
1 he Russky Courier descrilies it thus : i
"Iu the Mouth of March the cattle
j plague broke out in the village of
Ozersk, in the province of Kaluga.
Iu a few days thirteen cows died, aud
the peasauts were panic stricken. After j
warm discussions, it was decided to I
drive out thq plague after the manner
of our forefather* in similar emergen
cies—that is, by ploughing around
the village. On March 16, at mid
night, all the women of the village
assembled at a spot, to which were
brought the things needed for that
half pagan, half Christian ceremony,
to wit, a holy image, a plough, har
ness, a bag of saud, and a pail of
tar. A strong young woman was har
nessed to the plough, and, with the
assistance of two other girls, proceed
ed to pull it along. A young girl car
rying the holy image (ikona) headed
the procession ; she was followed by
an old woman with the Rand bag,
who threw the sand right and left,
the ploughing party trying to cover
the sand in ploughing, while the wo
man with the tar pail besprinkled
the soil with tar. A crowd of girls
and women followed, each carrying
some article with which to make a
noise, scythes, tin cans, iron pans,
boilers, basins, pokers, and other uten
sils. Though the noise was indescrib
able, and the women's yelling and
shouting incessant, they were ineffect
ual to frighten off the plague spirit,
for its ravages in that village are un
diminished.
Women of Cyprus.
From lh<- British Cypres,
At nine or ten the girls are lovely,
having eyes like antelopes and softly
rounded cheeks, hinting at Hebe by
and-by. But in their after years,
when comeleness is needed most, much
of this beauty fades. Fine eyes remain
but contour, color, bloom, expression,
all depart. The Moslem females seem
to understand their fate. If their
sisters of the orthodox rite were know
ing, they, to, would glide about the
courts and market-places veiled. A
Christian woman bares her neelt and
face; a Moslem woman shows no
more than a pair of sparkling eyes.
No man looks twice at the retreating
figure of a Greek, though she is habited
in nink and amber. Every one turns
and gaxes at the gliding mystery of a
S'rl in white whose face is shrouded
om his view.
CLOCKS are awfully dissipated: they
keep all sorts of hours.
