WEDNESDAY. JUNE 1. Axothck "kJd glove' nomination. It Is Porter instead of whisky Streight. Another iceberg floating around for the Democratic party to smash to pieces. "Whisky Streight was what they thirsted for, but the Postoffice ring had ordered Porter. Garfield is said to bo worth frem $15,000 to $25,000. Oakes Amea gave him $320, and De Golyer $3,000; total $5,320. That much la matter of record; the remainder is tobe figured out. It is said thai Mr. Halstsad, of the Cincinnati Commercial, acknowledges prlyately that Garfield is already defeated. We felt sure that the gallant cheyalier of Cincinnati journalism really held this opinion, but supposed that he would keep it to himself. EThk Republican paptrs are endeavoring to draw attentioa to the fact that Mr. Garfield is a '-Christian statesman." A genuine Christian statesman is a grind and noble beirg. but Garfield belongs to the same type that Schuyler Colfax represented, and the people haye lost confidence ia that particular brand. Tue Republicau party had better keep its mouth very close as to love for the soldier. Colonel Streicht was sacrificed yesterday to a "etay-at-home," while Ganeral Hascall's name was f ürly hissed in Convention simply because he opposed "imperialism" and a third term. Oa! the depth of cimmjo in Eadicilism. The night before the republican State Convention a delegate sal J: If Porter Is nominated it will be another Blue Jeacrt vs. Harmon campaign. We want no Hid glove canvass. Straight Is a h of a fighter, and it will take a h of a fighter to beat Landers. Tne ngut has got to be aggressive ou oiw part. That id about theaizjof it. It will be another "Blue Jaana vs.' Harrison campaign" jaiy more so. Eveky young man in America who studies the life ol Jarues A.. Uarfleld can find an inspiration. He can see tne possibilities that are in tne reach of every man, even though poverty and a bard struggle are his Inheritance. Atelr-made man, when well made, la the truest specimen of manhood. Inter-Ocean. Every young man in America who studies the life of Judas Iscarlot can find an inspiration up to the time that for thirty pieces of Bilver he betrayed Christ Every young man in America who studies the life of Banedict Arnold can find an inspiration up to the time that, for British gold and a commission in the British army, he turned traitor to his Country; and every young man in America may find an inspiration In the life of James A. Garfield up to the time when he accepted a bribe from Oikes Ames, ands)ld himself to De Golyer for $5.003. Wita these transactions there is not much inspiration left in the life of Garfield, unlesi it be to inspire an ambition for infamous notoriety. Th2 Radical papers should have quoted more largely from the peculiar indorsement that Don Piatt gave Mr. Garfield. Here ia a few sentences from the occentrio chevalier, referring to the Credit Mabilier candidate for the Presidency: Politically, he is about as dishonest a specimen as we have, and Qod knows that la saylag much. He sins against the light of his own sunlike intellect and conscience. Eaten up with the corroding poison of political ambition, he sells himself not only to his party, but to that money power lying back of and no seen, yet all seeing, controls its destiny. A free-trader from conviction, he is the pulplr st advocate of protection on record ; and recognizing the sorrowfoi fast, as he himself has stated it, that corporations are above law and lawful control, he sells out to the soulless omblnatlons. We can date the day, almost the hour, when Garfield, realizing that to succeed he must succumb, and so bid a last fareveil to all the pride, pomp and circumstance of noble Independence. Thi Albany Evening Journal says: "It is true that General Garfield was assigned $2,000 of the stock of the Credit Mobiller; it is true that he received some dividends upon his investment, bat there ia nothing in the transaction which impeaches his integrity." The Journal, however, differs very materially in its estimate of what it takes to Impeach the integrity of Mr. Garfisld from the estimate made by a Convention of Republicans -which met in the gentleman's District just after tbe Credit Mobiliar swindle had been exposed. That Convention declared, among Other things: ' That we further arraign and denounce him for his corrupt connection with the Credit ilobl.ler, for his false denials thereof before his constituents, tor his perjured denial thereof before a Committee of his peers In Congress, for fraud upon his constituents in circulating among them a pamphlet purporting to set forth Uie finding of aald Committee and the evidence against him, whoa In fact material portions thereof were omitted and garbled. Bear In mind that this declaration was made by Republicans, and not by Democrats. . GARFIELD AMD COLFAX. The outcome of the Chicago .Republican Convention was Garfield. The Chicago Convention was not a mountsyi in labor, and the product was not a mrpe. It was the Republican party in labor Ud it brought forth a candidate something greater than a mouse, and something infinitely less than an honest man. This was not strange; indeed, it was in accord with the eternal fitness of things. Thorns do not produce grapes, and figs are not the fruit of thistles. Buzzard's do not lay eagle's eggs, nor do Republican Conventions, where passion is blended with poltroonery, where hell-born bates hobnob with venality, where all moral diseases find expression in yells, hisses and bow Is that defy description, put forth men for candidates who are not by their practices worthy of such a parentage. Garfield is worthy of Chicsgo, and the Republican ConTention is worthy of Garfield. A party that has produced more bad men and bad measures than any other that has ever had an existence could not have done otherwise than produce a candidate bearing its own moral deformities. The Republican party had produced the Louisiana liars; it had warmed into life e J. Madison Wells, a Babcock, a Belknap, a Judas Bradley and a boat of others equally unclean; it had created an army of thieves. It bad debauched

every department of the Government; it had dethroned truth and exalted perjury; it had beat down Coniti ta.tlons.tr am pled upon law, bayoneted Legislatures and reversed the will of the American people; It had made Colfax Vice President, Robeson Secretary of the Navy, Laundaulet Williams Attorney Genera1, and a hundred or more equally execrable villain Federal officials, and was, therefore, ready to nominate Garfield. Colfax, though by no means alone in the infamy of his record, had been, by a combination of felonies, lifted somewhat higher than his associates in crime, and the Chicago Convention, in the frenzy of its madness, concluded to set up Garfield as a historical companion of Colfax. It is, therefore, eminently proper to draw a parallel between these two notorious Republicans. This has been done, and well done, by the New York Sun so well done that we reproduce the exhibit in another column. The charges against Garfield can not be brushed aside and silenced; they must be met and ehawn to be groundless. The New York Herald, in commenting upon them, says: If the Sun's charges are proved General Garfield is not fit to be President. They are so Utterly damaging, if true, that we reproduce the Bun's statement in another part of this paper. The parallel which the Sun draws between the case of Mr. Colfax and that of Mr. Garfield is forcible and striking, and tend to show that the ruined Colfax Is an Injured man 11 Garfield Is innocent. They had the same amount of Credit Mobiller block assigned them ; they alike denied that they bad received any; the denials of both were rebutted by strong evidence; but one of them has been seventeen years in disgrace and the other is nominated for the Presidency. If the overwhelming ruin of Colfax Is Just it behooves the friends of General Garfield to show how their cases differ. We are willing to Judge of Mr. Garfield's defense with the same candor and impartiality as if the accusation were new, and as if we had never pronounced a strong opinion against him. But the fact that the charge is old does not absolve him from the necessity of relating it. The grounds of defense thus far oflered by his supporters are as damaging as the original accusation. They try to belittle it by saying that it Is raked i.p from tbe past. Do they really think that if General Garfield was corrupt eighteen years ago that is no reason why he should not be elected President now? What is of real consequence is not whether the charges are old, but whether they are true. If tiue tney are as fatal a bar to his election as if the offense had been committed yesterday. Would Colfax be a fit candidate because so much time has elapsed since his exposure? Tbe Herald, which professes to be the friecd of Garfield, points out the fact that any reference to the feeling of friendship manifested by bis immediate constituents will not answer the demand until it is known whether they "acquitted or condoned" his crime. Certain it is that he lost immensely in his District about 6 500 votes. The fact that he took but $320, which his indiscreet friends regard as too contemptible to make a noise about, does not iaeet the requirement. He took It as a bribe, and the smaller the bribe the more contemptible the bribe taker. The people must understand this case fully. It is vital. The Republicau party has put forth a bribetaker as a candidate for President. It is an insult to the American people. The Cincinnati Gazette admltj Garfield's degradation by saying: Cakes Ames allotted 51.000 of Credit Mobiller stock to James A. Garfield. In point of fact Garfield never subscribed for it; never paid for it; never received it; but there was a dividend upon the stock so held by Ames amounting to 9329, which Ames said he paid to Garfield, which we suppose be did, and that was all he received, and all that any one pretended be had received. Garfield denied that he had subscribed for the stock, and ttcbn'cally he was correct; but it would have been better bad he told the whole story If It was true that Ames had allotted to and held for him f 1,000 of the stock. It would be difficult.for the Gazette to place Garfield in a more humiliating position before the country, and etill the Gazstte remarks that "the Democrats are welcome to all the capital they can make out of their effort to explode this burnt powder a second time." The powder, unfortunately for Garfield, has not been burnt but the fire is getting fearfully close to It. His friends are sadly indiscreet, and as the New York Herald remarks, "will damage him irretrievably if he leaves his case in their hands much longer. They have inflicted so much injury already that it will require all his skill to throw their blunders into the shade."

STEEICET'S DEFEAT PORTER. Colonel Streight was the Sentinel's candidate for the Radical nomination, and tday we acknowledge the defeat of our champion the gallant Colonel. We have, during the canvass, taken occasion to criticise the Colonel's political course, but at the same time have admired the grit and pluck manifested by him in striving for the nomination. He is a gentleman of a big heart, with many noble qualities and generous impulses, and if we mistake not, the Republican party has slaughtered the strongest champion among the various candidates ambitious to be the nominee. Colonel Streight made an excellent and creditable canvass for the nomination. We warned him a few days since of the unscrupulous ring forces which were at work against him here in the city. As rapidly as the delegates arrived, the flood-gates of abuse and vituperation were opened against Colonel Streight by these very ring forces, and we doubt very much whether his worst political enemies upou the Democratic side could have given currency to so much bitter speech during the entire campaign, should he have been nominated. He was cruelly and disgracefully pursued to the very doors of the Convention, and tbm inhumanely butchered inside, to the savage delight and wild chee rings of a aet of political savages. . The Convention threw away at least 5,000 votes by sacrificing Colonel Streight to the demands of the Indianapolis Radical Ring and substituting Mr. Porter. The Colonel would have made a red hot canvass. As it is we expect a very cool time of it with exceedingly light breeze. Mr. Porter, to be sure, is highly respectable quite as much of an Iceberg, in his way, as Charles Francis Adams. He will arrange a canvass of the kid glove description very like to the one given us by General Ben Harrison In 1878, and It will prove to the Republican party quite as disastrous, if not mere so. He is too much of a magnate too ariatocratlo to secure a very

enthusiastic following anion the plain, unpretentious old-fashioned farmers. Of even the stalwart agricultural Counties, and in such Counties as Hendricks, Morgan, Montgomery, Putnam, Bartholomew, Grant and Howard, we have an idea that he will run sadly and disastrously behind his ticket. Colonel Streight would have made a much more aggressive canvass against Mr. Landers. As it stands, Mr. Landers will defeat Mr. Porter with more ease than Governor Williams did Ben Harrison. Mr. Porter can hardly be considered an Indlanian. He left the State for Washington three years ago to accept a handsome paying position under Hayes. He knows bat little of the interests and tastes of our people. The manners, air and surroundings of Washington City are doubtless more in accordance with his aristocratic feelings and tendencies than the homely, unpretentious habits and customs of our people. The nomination can not be regarded as a strong one. Mr. Lenders' majority will be much larger than that which Governor WilHams obtained over Harrison. The nomination was simply a triumph over Colonel Streight, and hardly made with any refer ence to, or hope of defeating Mr. Landers.

UA.R FIELD AND CHICAGO TRIBUNE WHITEWASH. The Chicago Tribune is making a heroic tffjrt to extricate Mr. Garfield from tbe Credit Mobilier mire. It publishes extracts from the report of the rascality, and then coolly says: And that is the whole story told by the Investigating Committee. Tne whole variance between Ames and Garfield was as to whether Ames paid him 3329 or whether Ames loaned him 9300. In either case Ames declares that Garfield never received any stock or certificates, nor any dividends which the stock earned from 18o7 to 1873. Now, let us see whether Ames made such a declaration. Here is Ames' memorandum of his account with Garfield: TEOM AMES DIARY. Mr. Ames presented the following memorandum of his account with Mr. Garfield: J. A. G. Dr. lata. To ten shares stock Credit Mobilier of A-. Interest. June 19. To Ci-sh .11,0)0 CO 47 W 32) U) 91.376 00 Cr. im. By dividend bonds. Union Paciflo Railroad U.OoOatSJ par cent., less 3 per cent 9775 CO June 17. By dividend collected for your account - ... 603 CO 51,37 00 Garfield, in his testimony, said: Mr. Ames never gave or oflered to give me any stock or other valuable thing as a gift. I once asked and obtained from him, and alterward repaid to him, a loan of 1300; that amount is the only valuable thing 1 ever received from or delivered to him. I never owned, received, or agreed to receive any stock of the Credit Mobiller or of the Union Pacific Railroad, nor any dividends or profits arising from either of them. Schuyler Colfax told this Bame lie, and it ruined him. Ames, in the following testimony, denies that Gir field ever paid him back the "loan:" Question lias that S329 ever been paid to you? Answer-I have no recollection of it. Q. Have you any belief that it ever has? A. No, sir. Q Did you ever loan General Garfield 1300? A. Not to my knowledge, except that he calls this a loan. Q You do not call it a loan? A. I did not at that time. I am willing it should go to suit him. Q What we want to get at ii the exact truth. A. I have told the truth In my statement. Q. When you paid him J3Ü, did he understand that he borrowed that money from you? A. I do not suppose so. This settles the matter. Mr. Garfield was in the same boat with Colfax, and poor Colfax long ago acknowledged that it swamped him. CLIPPINGS. We have only one candidate for the Presidency, and that candidate Is Thomas A. Hendricks. Huntervllle (Texas) Item. A Garfield compliment from the Springfield Republican: lie la not of the stainless and irreproachable integrity of Edmunds." Sesatob Kerstan says that the nomination of Garfield throws Tharman, Jewett and Payne cut of tbe race on the Democratic side. A. far seeing contemporary observes that Grant, Cameron, Conkliug and Logan met at Chicago the morning after tbe nomination of Garfield, and, after a brief council of war, took a recess until 1SS1. The Baltimore Gazette correctly states that Garfield's nomination bas conferred an inestimable 'boon upon the Democracy in rendering anything like lukewarmness or disaffection in the Southern States, where they were said to exist, an impossibility." Isdkpex'dext papers like, the New York Herald and the Philadelphia Times are opposing Garfield by demanding that he clear klmselfof the charges against his honesty. That class of papers seems to insist upon the performance of impossibilities. The Boston Herald says: "There Is no reason why General Arthur should be any more popular in New Y'ork State than Governor Cornell, as they are, essentially, politicians of the same stamp, r.ad if his nomination was Intended to arouse enthaslasm among those who hold there the balance of power, it was a lamentable instance of misguided Judgment.' Garfield's War Record. December 14. 1861 Eolisted as Colonel. December 17, 1861 Made Brigade Commander for gallant services as a politician. January 14. 18G2 Attacked an inferior force nnder Humphrey Marshall, and routed it without loss to either side. June, 1862 Joined to army of observation before Corinth. July and August, 1862 Dom hospital duty. September, 1S62 A member of the Fitz John Porter Court Martial. October and November, 1862 Running for Congress in Ohio.

These are not the initials of the Republican candidates. They are the initials of what they stand forCredit Mobiller and Custom House. The career of Garfield in tbe one and of Arthur in the other, is not what honest men desire to reward with the highest offices in the gift of the people. The Fraud Issue. General Garfield was a member of the Electoral Commission. He voted Florida and Louisiana to Hayes when he knew they went for Mr. Tilden. He has several beautiful defenses for doing so. Tbe trouble Is that none of these defenses meets the fact that he knew the act was indefensible,

THEY 8QCIBH.

The Badieal Pmi Defending the Garfield Credit Mobiller Swindle. . New York Bun 1 That ancient, sedate and respectable dally newspaper, the Advertiser, of Boston, which could not countenance James G. Blaine because of his corruption, professes to be satisfied of the purity of James A. Garfield's character. And it is the first Republican newspaper, so far as we know, that has undertaken to defend his Credit Mobilier record. We print every word which the Advertiser has to say on this point: It is sufficient to say, in answer, that General Garfield sole aanly denied connection wltn that business; that the Committee of investigation, which brought in a i evolution to expel Mr. Oak es Arne aud Mr. James Brooks, did not even suggest a censure of General uarfleld. Not only was his alleged offense not proved, but his Innocence was established as far as a negative can be made sore. Mr. Ii oar, who presiued over tbe Convention, was a member of the Poland Committee, and General Uawley was one of tbe most active promoters of tne Investigation. Botb thee gentlemen are earnestly and enthusiastically la favor of Generel Garfield as a candidate. Neither of them would be so if he believed tbatthera was tbe least smell of corruption about bis garments; and there Is not, and bis alaoderers know there is not. The first specification in the Advertiser's defence of Garfield is true. General Garfield did solemnly deny connection with that business. His denial was made in tbe most solemn form which men have devised for the protection of justice against falsehood. In the name of God, and with the penalties for perjury full in view, he swore that he had "never owned, received, or agreed to receive, any stock of the Credit Mobiliar or of the Union Pacific Railroad, nor aDy dividends or profits arising from either of them." But that solemn denial was not considered a sufficient answer to the charge. A Republicaa Committee of Congress heard the evidence of his corruption and eaw tbe written proof; and having heard and seen, they declared that he did agree to receive Credit Mobilier stock, and that he did receive a dividend from tbe eame. Let the Advertiser, if it dare, print aide by side Garfield's sworn dei ial and the following final judgment of the Republican Committee which tried him: He agreed with Mr. Ames to take ten shares ot Credit Mobiller stock, but did not pay lor the same. Mr. Ames received the super cent, dlvidänd in bonds, and sold them ior97 per cent., and also received tbe 60 percent, cash dividend, which, together with the price of the at ock and Interest, left a balance of l&S). This sum was paid over to Mr, Garfield by a check on the 8ergeant-at-Arms. 'The Committee of Investigation, which brought in a resolution to expel Mr. Oikes Amei and Mr. James Brooks, did not even suggest a censure of General Garfield." To the everlasting diFgrace of the Republican parly and of the Republicans on the Poland Committee, that also is true. Having tried bim and convicted him. and put him on record as a bribe taker and a perjurer, his personal friends and political associates allowed him to escape some cf the consequences of his offenses. Pat what a defense of Gtrbeldia that! ' Not only was his alleged offer not proved, but his innocenc was established as far as a negative can be made sure." On this point let us once more hear Judge Poland. "He agreed with Mr Ames to take ten sharei of Credit Mobiller stock, but did not pay for the same. Mr. Ames received the SO per cent, dividend In bonds, and sold them for 97 per cent., and also received the tiO per cent, cash dividend, which, together wlili the price of tne stock and Interest, left a balance of S-C). Tiiis sum was paid over to Mr Garfield by a check on tne Sergeant at Arms." Finally, the Advertiser is convinced that tbe evidence was naught and the judgment of tbe Republican Committee a libel, for the grotesque resson that Senator Hoar and General Hawley "are earnestly and enthusiastically in favor of General Garfield as a candidate, and neither of them would be so If he believed there was the least emell of corruption about his garments." This is the sort ot defense that will elect the man whom the Democrats choose next week to run egainst Garfield, the convicted bribe taker and perjurer. Blaine and Garfield. lNew York Sun. We invite tbe attention of the more thoughtful and high-minded Republicans to a comparison that will probably be of interest to them at this time. By this description of Republicans we mean that numerous and Influential wing of the party which makes concessions to principle and decorum, even in politics. These are the Republicans who were disgusted with the fcsndals of Grantiem; who have made an effort to preeerve their self-respect, although at the expense of the macbine and the machine candidates; who, as a rule, opposed the third term; and who. almost to a man, opposed the nomination of Mr. Blaine in 1376, and again in 1330, on the ground that bis personal character rendered bim unfit to receive their votes for President. If Mr. Blaine couAd have convinced these Republicans that his record was unstained, that the suspicions of corruption in his career as a Cijcgressman were unjust, nothing could have prevented his nomination at Cincinnati four years ago: nor could anything have defeated him at Chicago last week. The Republicans whose reluctance to take up with a suspected man wrecked Mr. Blaine's hopes in 1876 and 1830, are now forced by an accidental nomination to consider whether they can give their support to Garfield. The best way, undoubtedly, for them to make up their minus is to measure Garfield's record by the lame rule that they have applied to Blaine's. Mr. Blaice's came, like General Gerfield'e, appeared in Oakes Ames' memorandum list of Corgressoien bribed. Ha was there ret down for thirty shares of srock, while only twenty were allotted to Garfield. Ames was a cool-headed, practical man, who bought Congressmen as he bought shovel handles, deliberately, dispassionately, and with a clcsa regard to the market value of the commodity. Mr. Blaine denied, as General Garfield denied, aoy participation in the business. The investigation came, tbe truth was dragged from the reluctant lips of Oakes Arne, and the evidence was spread before the people. The report of tbe Poland Committee in regard to Mr. Blaine's case was as follows: The Committee find that Mr. Ames bad convenation with Mr. Blaine in regard to taking ten shares of the stock, and recommended it as a good investment. Upon consideration, Mr. Blaine concluded not to take tbe stock, or stock of the Union Pacific Railroad Company, and never did take It, and never paid or received anything on account of It. But long before the Poland Committee came to this conclusion, the Sun, judging on tbe evidence, had acquitted Mr. Blaine of corruption. How different was the finding of the Poland Committee in tbe case of Garfield, who had aworn, like Blaine, that he "never owned, received, or agreed to receive any stock of the Credit Mobilier or of the Union Pacific Riilroad, nor any dividends or pre lit s ariaiDg from either of them!" He agreed with Mr. Ames to take ten shares of Credit Mobiller stock, but did not pay for the same. Mr Ames received the 80 p-r cent, dividend In bonds, and sold tbem for 97 per cent., and also received the &J percent, cash dividend, wblch, together with the price of the stock and Interest, left a balaueeof 1329. Tbis Rum was paid over to Mr. Garfield by a check on the Bergeant at-Arms. The blame and shame which attached to Mr. Blaine at the time of the Credit Mobilier investigation were, however, earned by his efforts, as Speaker of the House, to shield Garfield and the other convicted bribe-takers from the natural consequences of their crimes. The blame which General Garfield incurred was the blame of proved guilt; the shame was the shame of conviction by hie own party associates. Mr. Blaine's unfortunate reputation rests upon the Mulligan letters. His friends have never admitted bis guilt. No Republican. Investigating Committee has ever de

clared him corrupt No leading Republican newspaper ever called for bis expulsion from Congress. He ha never been branl d as a perjurer. Nooody bas ever found him taking a bribe of $5.000 to vote hundreds of thousands Into the pockets ot B-s Shopherd's ring. And yet the belief that his personal integrity bas not always withstood temptation a belief not established by evidence before a competent tribunal bas been eio3gh to blast his political aspirations and to shut bim out from tbe office to which be would otherwise have found an easy road. Oi the party records Garfield bears to Blaine the relation which a convicted criminal bears to a man laboring under suspicion. If Republicans who still cue rieh some anxiety about the purity of their candidates object to Biaine as unfit to be President, what must they think of Garfield when they come to appreciate the approved facts in his case? GARFIELD AND THE FKAl'D OF '76.

Why Mr. Itlackburn Holds that This Will Be tbe lemie or the Campaign. Washington, June 9. The fever of excitement which was aroused among the politicians here yesterday by the sudden nomination of General Garfield bad entirely worn off when tbe members and Senators appeared at tbe Capitol this moruicg. A peaceful night's rest had calmed tbe minds of the Republicans and enabled tbem to consider the situation with composure. The enthusiasm of the day p-evious had entirely disappeared, and aleeiingof mingled doubt and disappointment was prevalent in the minds of tbe Republican Congressmen. The party leaders openly a vowel their belief that Garfield could beat any Democrat who might be nominated at Cincinnati, but in secret they did not hesitate to say that tbe nomination was a weak one. Tbe terrible def cts in Mr. Garfield's personal record are well known to all of the older members, and they are able to justly appicciate the dacger of a defensive campaign in the face of the overwhelming facts. Mr. Cox opened tbe ball in the House today by introducing a resolution ordering copies of House Report No. 77, Forty-second Congress, third session, to be reprinted. This report is known as the Poland Report. Mr. Hawley objected, and the resolution went over. But few members were "are of the nature ot Mr. Cox's motion. The Democrats appear more deligbted with the nomination as time passes. They are confident that a' ticket will be nominated at Cincinnati which will sweep the country. Mr. Blackburn, ot Kentucky, said: "Tbe nomination of Garfield is the closing act of the tragedy which made Hayes PreEident. The strikers in Louisiana and South Caro lina were rewarded for their service in the electoral frauds of 187G as Boon as Hayes was safely installed in office. SbermanVas made Secretary of the Treasury; but fat posts and mieeiocs were given to the visiting statesmen and other participants in tbe crime. Carfield alone had ro: been rewarded. Yesterday bis obligation was canceled. If Hayes had been nominated the fraud issue ia the next campaign could not have been a rooger. Hayes could plead that he did not steal the Presidency. He was the fence the receiver of stolen goods. Garfield was one of the principal robbers." The Chinese Ouestion. San Francisco Special to the New York Herald, June 14. As the enthusiasm following the announcement of the nomination of General Garfield passes away and all parts of tbe country are heard from, Republicans are very eoberly exercised over the coming issue in November. It is understood that General Garfield will in his letter to the Republican party accepting the nomination allude to the Chinese question. His friends are aesirous be should be very explicit, for any ambiguity now, added to his Congressional record, as understood, will militate seriously in the campaien. Whatever may be thought of this subject in the East, it is an ultimatum here, and no candidate for the Presidency can hope to carry the Pacific States unless he is sound on the Cbineee question. Leading Republicans heic, fearing the General may be swayed more by New England semimentalities than by a regard to the material prosperity ot the workingmen on this Coast, are despondent, and till he is beard from there will be but little preparatory work done on the Pacific Slope. Sj sersitive are the peopln here that the R-publican press has rushed into the defense of General Garfield before he was well attacked, and, as matters go. danger to the Republican ticket is seemingly more to be feared from the weakness of the Republicans than from the strength of the Democrats. The moat forcible anti-Chinese writer here.is a Republican General, whose record is no less brilliant than General Garfield's own ; and to the concurrent conclusions of both political parties the Republican nominee can not well afford to be indifferent. Such is the reflex of the opinions of our best citizens. A Ooeil and Wboleiome Harrest Driak. Germantown Telegraph. As alcoholic drinks have happily long been driven from tbe harvest fields, there have been various drinks beside water substituted, but scarcely any of them meeting f ally tbe conditions sought for in the wa of a wholesome, satisfying beverage. Water, even in all its purity, does not seem to quench the thirst and stimulate the boy, as it produces additional perspiration and passes through tbe pores almost like passing through a colander, leaving the system exhausted and weak; besides, a drink of cold water, when suffering under a great degree of heat, is daogerou. even at times producing sudden death. Latterly in Eog and and elsewhere a drit-k ii prepared by mixing oatmeat with water, ia the proportion of ' three or four ounces to a gallon of water. This is found not only to satisfy the thirst better than water or molasses and water, even when tempered with vinegar or other acid, but to produce additional strength of body. Oatmeil produces a peculiar aroma and acts as a stimu'ant to the surface of the skin as to cause the complete digestion of tbe liquid. Men employed in an atmosphere of the Intensest heat are much comforted with it, and become very fond of it. Hence it is in a measure "vlctaals and drink," possessing only virtues and without any drawbacks whatever. Just now the time is here to give it a trial, and we aball be glad if at tbe end of tbe sea son those substituting the oatmeal and water will make re pott as to tbe results. Ko More of Them.

An esteemed correspondent in Jersey City proposes the following interesting question: Was not James A.

This question must be answered in the affirmative. General Carfield did all that our correspondent mentions. No man is more responsible for that villainy than he.

Medical Messenger. FALSE AND TRÜB. We extract from Dr. Rad way's "Treatise on Disease and IU Cure," as fellows: LIST Or D1SKASKS CTJUD BT RaWs Saraiaria Bestol Chronic 8kln Diseases, Carle of the Bona. Humors in the Blood, Scrofulous Disease, Bad or Unnatural Habit of Body, Syphilis and Venereal, Fever Hores, Chronie or Old Uloera.

Tbe wastes or tbe body are b Lopped and healthy blood la supplied to the ystem, from whloh new material Is formed, This Is the first corrective power of Rad way's Resolvent.

In these diseases the patient either gets better or worse tbe virus of the disease Is not inactive; If not arrested and driven from the blood it will spread and continue to undermine the constitution. Asaoon as the BarsaparlUlan makes the patient "feel better," every hour you will grow better, and Increase In health strength and fleeh. OVARIAN TtJUORO.
