Oregon loads the Garfield and
Arthur column of 18S0. From away
off in that northwestern corner of the
great republic comes the news of a
Democratic rout in the election which
took place on last week Monday. The
Republicans have elected three judges
of the supreme court, have hi al 1 prob
ability carried n majority of the legisla
ture.
Mud Klhigers.
Vultures, who out-vulture their
notorious namesake, they t,tand self
accused, and by the popular verdict
condemned. By their nefarious works
are they known. 'When night draws
ner giiuoa curtains down, tnese noon
companions of ruts and gutter snipe
emerge from the slimy cess-pools,
where they hud wallowed, shrinking
from the light of day and the gaze of
ull honest men, during the hours de
voted by all people to honorable
avocations. Slimy w ith the dripping:,
of their day time lodgings, and em
bittered by the thought that they uri
shunned by mankind asalfperiunon;.;
the healthy populace, loving company
in common with Misery they see!; to
draw all down to their degradation
rather than endeavor to raise them
selves from their contemptible sur
roundings. Imps sold t the ruler o:
evil, without a drop of the milk ol
human kindness in their veins, or a
thought of good and only intent on
harm, during the hours of darkness
when owls and damp vapors abound
they ply with an energy worthy a far
better cause, the occupation of mud
tdiuging to which their birth and na
turul alHnitcs have consigned them.
Writers for the newspapers they dip
Willi envenomed hand their pen ot
spite into the ink of human hate, and
write lie9, and slanders, and calum
nies. Of the class we have feebly at
tempted to describe are those writers
who have attacked the character and
.official record of the Republican can
didate for President, Jas. A. Garfield.
The nomination of this eminent and
pure statesman, put the Democratic
writers at their Wi...'.iul tor son e n:: g
to say against his enaraeU-r which
even bore the faintest shadow
of
trutu. in tact alter searching an
1
searching in vain they found nothing
absolutely nothing. In all his long
public career not the slightest shadow
i't suspicion or dishonest practice or
unbecoming conduct, has been cast, on
or raised against his character. H
stood out in bold relief with a recon
the whole couutry was proud of. His
- nomination pleased the Republican
masses while it tilled with dread fore
bodings of certain disaster the mind
iil lliC J-rCllltJl'lclMU ICTilUlM. J. Ill'
situation was certainly a very unin
viting one to the hungry hordes of
that ever hopeful party, no escape
beenied possible. Ever hope seems to
have left them. A Democratic noni
inating convention under the circum
stances seemed an entirely useless ex
pense. For why should candidates be
nominated whose defeat seemed cer
tain. It was. even thought that th
great Democratic party would collapsi
and go as their several ideas of money
led them, some to the hard money
Republicans, and some to the Green
back soft-money party. Just- before
the grand dissolution a ray of light
tdiot athwart the murky sky. The
mud slingers could be brought into
play, and as there was nothing against
the character of the Republican nom
inee these dirty writers could sling
the mud of their venom at him.
Tho thing was tried, and so faithfully
have the miscreants worked for their
masters that they have actually com
menced to believe the lies they them
selves created. - Ashamed of their own
meaness, and now fully aware that
their curses are coming home to roost,
tho leaders would get rid of the
mud sllnger, but lie sticks. 'Every
night he is out while daylight knows
him not. Let the mud fly, the harm
will he only to those who fling it. All
men will point the linger of scorn at
the dirty worker and his ultliy work.

The Original (Jnrflcld Man.
Philadelphia Press.
Mr. YV. A. M. Grier the lla.leton
banker, Who has gained a good deal
of notoriety by having been the origi
nal Garfield man at Chicago, was at
the Continental Hotel last evening.
Mr. Grier was culled upon by a I'rcos
reporter, but he at first positively de
clined to be interviewed, and it was
only after n good deal of deliberation
that he consented to answer the ques
tions propounded to hhn:
"When did you first begin to sup
port Mr. Garfield?"
"On the second b.illot."
"What wns your intention?"
"I thought from some Information I
had obtained very soon after the
Pennsylvania protest was signed that
a union could be elleete.l upon Gar
field; and, therefore, my action was
deliberate and with a purpose, and
with an understanding with some
other parties that at the right time
they would come to my help."
"Did you then have any faith that
General Garlield would be nomin
ated?" '"Yes; I thought the chances were
good, though 1 believe a movement
by tho Grant people in favor of Mr.
Edmunds at the right time an 1 in the
proper way might have made him
the candidate of the convention, but
theopportanity was lost.
"Did you vote for Garfield all the
time?"
"All except live ballots for Wash
bunie from the fourteenth to die
nineteenth. 1 cast these ballots
merely as a compliment, and it wa
still nry purpose to support Mr. Gar
field and my expectations ' were that
lie would be the nominee."
"Was there any other steady sup
porter of Mr. Garfield?"
"My colleague, Dr.Thompson, voted
with me for several ballots."
"It has been stated that Mi. Taylor
of Bucks county voted with vou for
Garfield?"
"That Is a mistake. Mr. Taylor
voted for Garfield on the last ballot
only. By tho way, Mr. Wharton
Barker, of (lie banking linn of Bar
ker Brother iV Co. of this city, had as
much to do as any other individual in
bringing about the nomination of
Gen. Garfield."
"In what way?"
"Mr. Barker came to Chicago wish
Mr. MacVvttgli. Mr. Pennypack.r and
others of th-.- nti-Giv.nt men. I met
him, having long known him, and we
Immediately talked matter.-- over,
stated the idea about the Penusvl
lie
in in
protest, and after consultation with
Mr. McManes, it was subsequently
signed. We si ined that protest with
the understanding that it was not to
be used tinlfss there were at least
twenty signers. Then Mr. Barker
and I bilked over the chances of the
candidates. He was against Grant,
and I told him I thought Blaine
would be weak under the circumstan
ces. He- agreed with me and suggested
Edmunds or Garrield, saying that he
rather favored the latter." iT-aid f did
also, for the reason that Garfield's
tariff record was good; (hid he was a
pure, good man of great ability; was
popular with the people, and with
him we could carry the October elec
tion in Ohio, which would -rive us
great prestige. I al-o suggested that
if we did not nominate an Ohio man
the Democrats might name Mr. Payne
and that State might thus be lo.,t to
us. 1 then told Mr. Barker that 1
would support Mr. Garfield.
Cameron for Chairman.
Washington. June -I. Gem
! Lo-
gall left lo day u,r New Yolk, where
ho will stay till after the meeting of
the National Republican Committee,
which will soon be held there to or
ganize for the campaign. Then; is
a strong feeling in favor of the sehc
tion of Don Cameron for the chair
manship. Mimy of Gyiwril Garfield's
warmest friends are strong advocates
of the choice, and there is an impres
sion here that the Pennsylvania Sena
tor will reconsider his tir.it determina
tion not to accept the place. Political
gossip. say UiatCoiiklinu, Logan (U;d
Crmeron will hold a conference on
this point at New York before the
meeting of the National Committee
and predict that the result of it will
be Cameron's choice and acceptance of
the chairmanship.
The Washington correspondent of
the New York 'ft men has learned
that in the rebel records caiiiuivd at
Jticlimoud was found a commission as
colonel in a rebel infantry regiment
made out in the name of Thomas I'.'
Bayard, present senator from Dela
ware. There is, of course, no pretense
that tliis commission was ever offered
Mr. Bayard, but it is inferred that a
commission would not have been
made out in bis name if it hud not
been believed by the rebel authorities
that Senator Bayard was in sympathy
with tl.ein. At any rate the Dover
speech ami this commission would
make heavy handicaps. The snic
record that implicated Hendricks as
a member of the Knights of the
Golden Circle also include Daniel W.
Yoorhees.
It lias leaked out at Washington
that at the time of General (rant's
return from Asia, the President und
Mr Evarts were considering tho pro
priety of tendering him the position
of Ambassador to China, to dispose of
the vexed questions pending, and to
revise the treaty stipulations between
the United.Slatesand that ancient em
pire. The rank of ambassador is the
highest authorized by the constitution
audit was intended to allow notices
than $ 0.000 for expenses of tlio mis
sion. But before final action was taken
it became evident that it was tho pur
pose of General Grant's friends to
make him u candidate at Chicago, and
the secretary was dhsiio.sed to hesitate
in iuakiugsuc.il a tender, for fear that
(ho public might supposeit was simply
an eip.it to obtain a little cheap notoriety.
Wiuhliigfau Letter.
From our ri'fculnr correspondent. 1
Washington, D. C, June P, IPSO.
Congress has adjourned, leaving our
village to resume that degree of ex
treme quietude which characterizes
the recess. Though our census taker
shows that we now have a population
of 170,00'J, an increase since 1870 of
nearly 40,000 people, yet the absence of
all niaiiaiacturing industries enables
Congress, by its presence, to exercise a
marked effect upon our city's business
and particularly upon tho streets and
promenades. Our hotels are, through
adjournment, half closed, and every
other channel of trade or business, or
pleasure-seeing or going, is similarly
affected. Adjournment to us Is as
Jack Frost to a summer resort. The
Capitol is deserted. Its bright flags
which flaunted so gaily over the halls
since the first Monday of last D um
ber, are furled. The crowd which
thronged the lobbies have migrated,
and we shall see no more of .hem till
next winter's harvest of spoils brings
them back again to us. The House
proceedings during the last twenty
four hours of the session had less of in
terest and excitement in them than we
have ever seen in the past. At 4
o'clock on Tuesday it adjourned till 10
1. M. Wednesday, which gave but
two hours for business before the hour
of final adjournment arrived. This
unprecedented action avoided tlicrush,
excitement, and turmoil attending the
la.st hours oi" Congress, where they are
devoted to one prolonged session, ex
tending through the whole night and
until noon. In some respects it was a
wise proceeding, for it killed a score of
swindling, thieving measures, whose
friends had hoped to drive into pas
sage under the usual press and inatten
tion of the last 1 murs, while other
and meritorious bills arc merely de
layed. Now for Cincinnati. The track is
clear for passage there, and a very
large pol l ion of our departing sulons
have turned their faces to that ap
proaching scene of strife, which will
prove a Waterloo to the ambit ion and
aspirations of many a great statesman
whose eyes are lixed on the While
Mouse. We won't indulge in prophecy
as to the siuve-sful candidate, for we
!i:id our-elves In precisely the same
quandary on that point that we were
in prior to the Chicago Convention.
Our foresight then onlv covered thus
who would not gel thi' prize; and just
so now, Mcsirs. Tilden, Bayard, or
I hurman may be successful, but we
! doubt it. Tiii under current nassinu
here sets as strongly against these gen
tlemen :c it did ugi.inst the three
prominent iu;iik-; of the Chicago Con
vention. The friends (Jr General Garfield
gave hhn a rousing reception on Wed
nesday ni;'ht, and indulged in the cus
tomary spread-eagle orations. Gen.
Devens was one of the orators, and
paid fulsome compliment to Ohio.
But as our thoughts would go back to
Chalicoilorsville, where his treatment
of our brigade, composed largely of
Ohio soldier.;, intensely embittered us
against him, we fear we took his flat
tery with sincerest and broadest al
lowance. Ho isd-uibtiess a great law

oid of jMili'tic.d re'er
c.v, the late Po-Umas-
ncrai, was pivs.mt as an invited
and when called on for a speech
most wittily and haiu.ilv rciiondi-d.
Ills wit enables him always lo avoid
any embarrassment arising from his
Colifodiraio retold.
A writer on French and Eagli.-h
contrasts says; "To call an English
man a melon, or to say of a country
woman that she was a good, cow-like
creature would be no very grave of
fense, but applied to French people
would he a deadly jnsult. You must
not call a Frenchman a canary, either,
nor a turkey cock, the latter term
meaning much more than it doc; in
England ; nor niunt you say of a iauy
that she is a wren (linolic), this being
synonymous in French to saying that
she is a simpleton. The similaritv in
the sound of English and French
words often cause foreigners who
vist France to make mistakes. Thus
they will ask for an upp'irtuiLitt when
iney no not want a suit of rooms, but
one single room ; and they say that
their style of living u luciiru itr when
they seek to convey that it is luxurious
the French for which is .c ts.Amiin
they mistake bound for bonnet, which
must be rendered chapcuu; vwuire for
vicar, which i curt; while curate is
vicoirc; and iNncuniioH for discussion,
whereas this word iu French means
an angry wrangle. Frenchmen are
great kissers and shakers of
hands, but the latter courtesy is not
practiced between sexes. A Frenchman
bows ton lady without extending his
palm, and he would be thought very
forward indeed if he tried to shake
hands with an unmarried lady. He
might kiss a married lady, however,
on New Year's Day, or in an outburst
of great i motion on any other occasion
without anybody even the husband
demurring; and he may embrace
members of ids own sex at all times.
A French grown up son kisses his
father.and alludes to him as'papa;' and
as everybody knows, a son must ask
his'papaV consent to his marriage,
no matter how old h'e may be."

The Uhil of Silver Dollars.
!'hllnlft!ilitn Prcsa.
There have doubtless been other
acts of Congress showing quite aa
little wisdom in their authors as the
Silver-coinage net of 1878, but we do
not believe there has been any other
the supreme folly of which has been
so amply demonstrated without se
curing a prompt amendment or re
peal. No one pretends that it lias
realized the expectations of even its
least sanguine supporters. The large,
unwieldy coins were regarded with
disfavor from the 11 rat. Every one
receiving them with reluctance and
made haste to pass them on to his
neighbor.
By the terms of the act the Secretary
of the Treasury is compelled to coin
at least $2,0'jn,O00 each month, In
his lii-t annual report he gives the
amount then coined as $4",0u0,000, of
which $13,000,000 only were in circu
lation. The remainder were idled up
in the Treasury vaults, and all eflbrls
of the Treasury Department to get
them permanently into circulation
have proved unavailing. Congress
on the opening of its regular session
last December had tills anomalous
condition of things brought to its at
tention by the Secretary of the Treas
ury and was urged to repeal the law
which obliged him to keep tho United
States Mints turning out silver dollars
at a dead loss to the Government and
the country.
In a speech delivered before the
New York Chamber of commerce in
May last, .Secretary .Sherman said
Hint the amount of silver coins and
bullion then iu the Treasury was S'JM,
000,000. With the monthly accretions
the storage n :;i became gradually
exhausted, and Congre.,, though it
would not stop the coining, recog
nized the embarrassment of the Treas
ury Department so far as to appropri
ate !?JO,ooo to provide more room "for
the accumulating dollars.
Before Con-res.; shall reconvene
there must be .12,000,003 additional,
which might otherwise be applied to
ward the extinction of the intenst
bearing debt, sunk iu the Treasury
vaults. Whether there is wisdom
enough in the present Congress to
lead it to provide stmo measure of re
lief at its final session is extremely
doubtful. The country may, there
lore, have to wait a year later till a
Republican Congress can cut off this
stream of depreciated dollars which is
now cmbarra-slng the Treasury and
threatens ultimately to inflict great
injury to the business and credit of the
country.
The D ino; aUc press had in store
an immense collection of tilth ready
t be buried at the head of Grant or
Blaine if nominated at Chicago, it
evineiilly being- the purpose of the
organs of that party to make the en
suing canvas one of gross personality
and mud slinging. . The choice of
General Garfield, however, necess
itated a change of programme, and
for three or four days there was com
parative quiet along the whole line,
only to be broken up, however, by an
onslaught upon the fortunate candi
dal.., in which it is attcm nte-.l to
blacken his fair reputation and paint
iiiiu the creature of all Hie evil schem
ers of the pa-d decade. These storm
oi aouseaiv not new m the nob tics of
this country, and the people have
learned to give them full credit, ami
Usually the result is an increased ma
jority at the polls.

Washington, D. C, Dec. 15. 1.-570.
Dkak Siu: Yours of theU'th inst.,
inclosing a slip from the Columbus
JMputcn, is received. The writer of
tuat articai is either stupidly ignorant
or a wilful falsilier. 1 have voted lor
every Republican Tariff bill which
has passed the House since I have
been a member of it. I have made at.
least four elaborate speeches on the
tariff since I have been in Coiigrei-s,
besides numerous short speeches in
debates. My first full speech on the
subject was in Is-ifi, the second in 1.S70.
and the third and fourth in l7o?. I
have been recognized for several years
past as the leader of the Republican
party on this subject, and every Re
publican member of the House knows
iny po.siiion, and I believe, approves
it. in lSfiS I made a speech in favor
of the resumption of specie payments,
in which I discussed elaborately the
doctrines of money, and the obliga
tion of the nation to pay its debt.
The Secretary of tho Treasury sent
.s.-iiic eopie oi mat speech to our .Min
ister in London, believing that it
would strengthen our credit abroad.
John Briiiht received a copy, and was
so pleased with it that he had me
elected an honorary member of the
"Cobden Club." I bad never before
beard of this club, and up to that
time Charles Summer was the onlv
member of Congress who bad ever
been thus complimented. Some years
after that I learned that the Co'bden
Club believed in free trade, as nearly
all Englishmen do; but of course 'l
was in no way responsible for the be
lief. This matter had been repeatedly
explained in the iron districts, and
itislully understood' by our leading
iron men. I represent one of the
heaviest iron districts in Ohio, and in
Mahoning county, where the largest
nulls and furnaces are situated, I ran
ahead of the State and county ticket
last year, and I have the supnort of
allmust every intelligent manufacturer

that you may understand how entirely
without foundation is the article in

The New Counterfeit.
The secret service Bureau in this
city yesterday received from the United
States Treasury Department notice in
reference to the nev Counterfeit fbKi
bills on the National Exchange Bank
of Baltimore, and giving Instructions
how the same otm be detected. The
notice states that in the genuine bills
their is a black dot under the Ielter"s"
in tho abbreviated word "Cashier"
while iu the counterfeit there Is none.
Further, tho letter "J" In "July"
strikes tho shading of the "N" iu
"National" in the counterfeit note,
while in the genuine they pre the
thlrty-secondth. of an inch apart. In
tho heart-shaped figures iu the left
end of the panel containing the word
"Baltimore,'' eight lines appear in the
spurious note, whereas only seven are
iu the genuine. The border of the
genuine note, containing the word
and llgures "hundred,'' is square
jointed at the corners and poorly exe
cuted, while iu the other uoie no joint
is seen and tho workmanship is
smooth. As a sure test for all genuine
10'J national bank notes, place a
straight-edge at the bottwia of I::-,
words, "with the U. H. Treasurer at
Washington," and allowing the eJge
to extend to the figure of Liberty it
will strike the lips of the figure, while
applied to a counterfeit it strikes the
base of the chin.
Washington, June 17. The Sec
retary of the Interior to-day rendered
a decision over-ruling the construction
heretofore given to the compensation
clause of the census act by the Super
intendent of the Census. The Secre
tary's decision is of direct pecuniary
interest to all of the :;o,000 enumerators
now employed throughout the coun
try. He says (after quoting the clause
iu question): "In the view of this
department tho framers of the provis
ion quoted intended thereby to tlx a
basis of compensation, which should
not be exceeded, and to direct that the
enumerators for districts east of the
one-hundredth meridian should not be
paid a. rate exceeding ?1 for ten hours
actual field work or 10 cents an hour,
and that enumerators for districts w est
of tho hundredth ni'-ridian should
not be paid a rate ill excess of H for 10
hours' work or 00 cents an hour, with
out regard to number of days over
which their services should extend.
The law evidently contemplates that
if an enumerator should lie cmnlovnl
iu actual field work for 1J hours a day I
during the whole term required to
complete Ills work he should be pal I 1
for 1 J hour.-,' work each day at a late'
not exceeding CI for it) hours' work or j
1.) cents per ho ir in districts C1..-1 of
tiie 1'Mlh meridian and ut a rale not i
exceeding t'u for 10 hours' work or
CO cents on hour for districts w est of
the l'.Uth meridian. On the other
hand, if the enumerators should aver
age but. 3 hour.; per day of actual tic-Id
work for his whole term of service he
.should be paid for 8 hours' work a day
it a rate ner hour not exeoodimr 10 or
t0 cents, according i0 the district lu
which he was employed."
The terrible disaster which befell
tha steamer Narragansett iu Lon,r
Island i-ound Friday ni-ht, illu.-tratc.i
afresh tiie importance of keeping the
i.iall boat-, and life preservers and
raits, which steamers usually carry
iu condition and position fur imnu
diate use. In thio instance, while the
steamboat seems to have been ahtiu
dantly provided with boats and rafts,
they were so located that they could
not be launched with ease, and when
launched could not be properly
manned. Iud..-,d, the credit f.,r such
efforts as were made t; save the lives
of thoso on luar.l appears to have
been duo rather to the exertion.! of the
passengers themselves than the olKeei
and crew. Nearly three-quarters of
an hour intervened between the co'.-ii.-ion
and ths sinking of the vw-n-l,
ami, if proper discipline bad prevailed
on board, there is every reason to be
lieve that o. much larger number of
lives could have been saved. As it
was, no attempt was made to quell the
panic which naturally seized the help
less passengers, and they wero left
to look out for themselves us best they
could. Another bad feature of the
case is the surprising ineflicieucy
which the boat crews of the other
steamers displayed in picking up the
castaways. In some cases the latter
were in the water fully two hours be
fore they were rescued, and doubtless
many persons perished during that
time from sheer exhaustion within
sight of help. We shudder to think
what the loss of life would have been
had a storm been raging at the time
and the sea been running mountain
high, instead of being, us it fortunately
was, as smooth as glass. As it was
the most harrowing details continue
to reach us of the efforts of the help
less passengers to save their lives, and
in many instances children wero lost
and their mothers saved, and vice
versa. Aitougether the scenes of that
dreadful night are enouuh to cause
one's blood to run cold at their recital
and there should be a rigid investiga
tion to ascertain uist where the re
sponsibility for this terrible affair lies.

been superior to those made halt a century
ago.
It combines aU the excellencies of any Plow
In use.
It obviates all the objections made to any
other Plow.
In addition It embraces so wrnl new features
ot the greatest value, for which we have ob
tained exclusive Patents.
Its Deam,Clevts, Jointer Standard and Wlieel
Standard will be STEEL, and Its mold board
will be a composition of Steel and Iron chilled
under a process for which wo have also
obtained an exclusive Patent; it will ba
called
THE SYRACUSE
'EEL PLOW
Its weight will be eighteen pounds less than
our present styles.
A nrst-class Steel now, made In tho or
dinary way, luU rigged, retails for twenty-two
dollars. Inferior steel Plows retail from six
teen to nineteen dullars.
The price of our new now will be but
Seventeen Collar, and It will bo tho
cheapest Agricultural Implement ever sold.
Its mold board will outwear three of the
very best kinds of tho ordinary steel mold
boards.
It will scour In anils where all steel plowB
and all other plows have hitherto proved a
failure.
With this now will be Introduced a corru
gated Plow Point and Jointer Point, on which
we have also obtained a Patent, and which U
also a great Improvement, both aa regards
strength and wear.
The Jointer cm be shifted 80 as to tako
more or less land, and also more or le3s pitch,
and It can always be kept on a line with the
now.
The wheel v. ill ran under the beam or one
side of It as desired, and always kept In line.
The beam Is adjustable for Spring or Fall
Plowing, and also for two or three horses.
Tho handles can be adjusted to accommo
date a man or boj-, on the sumo Plow.
It Is a perfect Plow.
Wooden beams are going out of uso because
they shrink, swell ai:d warp, and never run
two seasons alike.
Iron beams are too heavy.
Malleable beams become demoralized and
bend, which Is much worse than to break.
A Steel brum Is the necessity of the day. It
1 three times us stronj and very much lighter
than any other style.
When we say a Mold board Is chilled, the
farmers know It Is so.
We do not palm off on them a composition
of various metals and call It chilled metaL
We want agents for tills new Plow to every
town In this State.
We can give but a very small discount to
them, but wo will pay the Ralliwul Freight
We proposo U place tills Plow In the hands
of Farmers us near the cost of muuufauture
as possible.
It will be the best Agricultural Implement
ever sold.
It shall also be the cheapest.
Persons therefore who are not willing toact
as agents on the principle that " a nimble six
pence is better than a slow shilling," need not
apply for an agency.
o Plows on eemmls-aoa. AU sales absolute.
CfThis Is tho only steel chilled Plow In
thj World.
Steel casts several times more than Iron.
But, this now, full ringed, by giving small
Amounts, can bo cold for Seventeen Dollars.
Compare thl3 price with thatof any Iron Plow
ever made.
It Is cheaper than any other Plow now
made would be at live dollars ana a half.
Where there are no agents we will, cn re
eclptof Seventeen Dollars, send a Plow to any
ftullroad station tu tho statu and pay the
freight. Address,
