Can This be So?

The Washington correspondent' of the New York Sim claims to have made a discovery in regard to the attitude, of prominent Bcpublicans at that place toward Mr. Garfield. While not disposed to place implicit confidence in the assertions of the correspondent, we yet find them sufficiently interesting to warrant their re-publication. He says: Noted Republicans at Washington, whose names would excite surprise if given to the public advocate the policy of withdrawing Garfield, and of substitut ing another candidate, whose record is not tainted with venality and dishonor, They think the party is not strong enough to carry such a load, and that defeat stares thorn in the face if it be not relieved. This idea is by 116 means confined to small circle, but has extended to important influences, and finds favor among the friends of more than one of the aspir. ants who were defeated at Chicago.

The suggestion is impracticable, be cause even if a new name could be put up without once more assembling the National Convention, that step would be regarded as a com piety surrender of the Presidential contest. 'But that such proposition should be entertained in any lorm, or become a topic of discussion, is evidence of the demoralization causcd by Garfield's candidacy, and of a want of confidence in his personal integrity.

The Republicans at*the capital, who are familiar with the daily walk and life of Gaf field, know full well that the Credit Mobilier corruption and the De Golyer bribe are mere incidents in a career notorious for jobbery and for hy pocrisy. His Votes and the influence of his posjtion in the House of Representatives liave been huckstered about Wash, ington for years in almost every scheme of spoliation before Congress. .The parties who bought and who sold him, of course, have

Considering his tafenti and his' oppor. tunities, Garfield has generally got lbss money for his support of jobs in Congress than almost any of the coprupt crew-who have made merchandise of their positions on committers or t^oir votes oh the ftoojf. He has usually been' in the hands dt sharj) intermediaries, who have made film pay dearly for preserving venal Secrets. Thus Dick Parsons of Cleveland, who was hired by the ageht (if De Glolyer and Mc Clcllan to buy Garfield's influence as chairmaif of the Appropriation Commit tee, popketed ten thousand dollars for that setVice, While he1 £kve Garfield flVi thousand, although,' as he .swore, he had agreed with, him to share'the fee."

As a business corruptionist Garfield is not a success, though he lias contrived to make himself easy in circumstances, and might have.been much richer than lie. is. if the faculty of exaction- had been added to his. easy virtue in taking bribes Morally loUen, and defiant of opinion, he has constantly required .ready money, and he usually accepted whatever sum was offered without stopping to consider whether it was an equivalent or not for the seiHeefr&dereefc-#

For tli^e and for other reasons which may be made known hereafter, the nomination of Garfield fell flat at the capital, not so much frotii disappointment on the part of ihie Grant, Blaine or Sherman men, as from a knowledge of his character and the conviction that it could and would be assailed successfully as wholly unworthy of the place to which he aspires. Thus far his opponents have practiced the utmost forbearance in refer ring only to those points which investigation by Congress have mad® jptear.

Whenever, the time comefrt$ Itoflstffet "Mr. Garfieldin Mscapacity as^r^chrisv* .v. iX*?

tian statesman, and to strip off the mantle of hypocrisy which has covered a foul interior, the country will see an object to be loathed. It is the dread of exposure, superadded to what is already known, that induces Republicans of established repute to urge so desperate a resource as the withdrawal of Garfield's name from the ticket as the only means of saving the party from disgrace as well as from defeat.

The Negro Exodus.

Other events of importance crowding fast within the past few weeks have diverted attention here from the exodus question which in the spring was a matter of absorbing interest to all persons here in Indiana. The subject is one which has been by no means thoroughly canvassed by our people. Much remains to be understood. It will be the duty of the GAZETTE to gather together the results of the investigation and place them before its readers.

In the Harrisburg (Penn.) Patriot for the 30th of June we find the following editorial, which gives an idea of what the people of other States think of the desperate attempt made by a few designing leaders of the Republican party to overrun Indiana with these people. The Patriot says: "Had not the negro exodus to Indiana last winter utterly miscarried the Republicans might have some hope of carrying that State in October. As is shown by the. report of Senator Voorhees, some leading Republican politicians of Indiana in their despair of overthrowing the Democratic majority in any other way started out with a grand scheme of negro colonization. Their object was to import into Indiana ten oi twelvo thousand colored voters from North Carolina and other parts of the South, calculating that there would be a certain percentage loss, but that eight thousand would be enough to overthrow the Democratic ma jority and give the Republicans the control of the state in the presidential election of 1880. Several of the Republican witnesses who Were produced before committee of Senator Voojrliees admitted that their object in promoting negro immigration to Indiana was partly political and that Jolm C. New, Postmaster Hollo way, and other leading Republicans were associated with them in the work.

In the prosecution of this desperate political scheme of negro colonization several colonies of negroes from North Carolina, on their way to Kansas, were turned back to Indiana with the most alluring promises. Many of them were utterly destitute and failed to obtain the work and high wages of which they had such strong assurances. Some resumed their journey to Kansas and some re" turned to North Carolina. The Republican politicians of Indiana, to whom the sable strangers came, complained that there were too many women and childred among them, who consumed the colonization funds without being of any political value. What the Republican managers wanted were male negroes above the age of twenty who could be converted into Republican voters for immediate use. In the meantime this nefarious and inhuman scheme was revealed. The people of Indiana indignant ly protested against an attempt to over whelm their state with an inferior, population whose presence would violently disturb its social and economical condition. Especially were they indignant, jfct the cruel enticement of the poor negroes from their homes merely to promote*-•* 9 selfish partisan &i0, .The icoloaization Scheme ofHolloway and'New was aban jloned, and of ,tlie thousands of North Carolina negroes who wandered through Indiana last spring scarcely any ar6 left Instead of gaining negro voters as they expected, the Republicans of Indiana have lost a large number of white voters through hi8 violent and unnatural attempt to im' port labor to compete with them. Indfaili is thus more thoroughly Democratic than ever and the last Republican hope of carrying the state is destroyed.

SENATOR BAYARD was beaten by one or two Other Democratic presidential candidates a matter of five minutes or so. in a congratulatory dispatch to thtf tfbfcqessful, competitor for the^ (3inqihii«ti nomination. But he is the first in Uie field with a set speech commending the candidates of. the Democracy to the pear JXIQ. His arraignment of the Republican piarty for those points in its record to whielL they cannot point* with prideisjmast$rly» W^ copy^ here onq brief paragraph:

I am opposod to everything that tends to perpetuate a government in disregard of the people. What argument did Gen. Grant use The only one he ever kntetf and ever obeyed—the bayonet.1 Whfcn*"we Tvere assembled deliberating for a peaceful result, not in the Mexican fashion of upsetting, but in the American fashion of reasoning, what was the course of -the Adminstration To assist Oh no. Onethird of the army was in that city and more than one-half of it twelve miles distant, and in case of any disturbance the Government was to be seized and held. Where was Garfield then and what part did he take, for we are told that he hks a civil record [Laughter a&d applause.] He said you have the angyj,

THE1St' Loais Everting PasttXwpaick is decidedly of tde%Imjn ilial the New York Legislature .will not perpetJ-ate the outrage of selecting the Electors for that State in advance of the election and with a view to subverting the result and overthrowing the Will of the people. It thinks. Conkling would hesitate to commit a,wrong so gross even for his dearest political friend and ally and that lie will be very far from consummating a conspiracy, which would forever ruinhim, in the interests of a candidate to whom it is very doubtful if he will himself give even a lukc-v arm support But more, than this is another consideration. "Electoral votes must not only be cast, but counted. 'While the Republican Legislature at Albany may try to oas^ ,-tiio vote of New York, the democratic Congress has the power tn determine what is a legal vote, the absolute duty* to reject fraudulent or illegal votes, the power' to 1 I I1 count as it pleases., *t.

Let it be remembered that under, the precedent of a century, and under the special claim and practice of the Republicans in 1876, Congress atone counts and decides vMt is and tchat is not an electoral r-« vote. rf

Let it be distinctly understood that if such an outrage as that proposed were carried out at Albany, the stolen votes would not be counted at Washington. "\yith this understanding there will probably be less talk of stealing, the. vote of New York.".

WE are not disposed to say hard thing of Arthur. All we have to do. is, to introduce Republican testimony.. Here ifi»—» read it:' "With a deep sense of my. fobligations under the Constitution, I regard it as my plain duty to suspend you in order that the office may be honestly administered.1) R. B.

KB. JAKES H. BOBBRTO,

former law partner of the deceased, who appeared much affected, gave some account of the life of Judge GookinS, who came from Ttare Haute to Chicago in 1858, entering the law firm of Gookins, Thomas & Roberts, which ^existed until the death of Mr„ Thomas. Fpr some years alter that evenl Judge Gookins: remained ih the firni yrtth thjB speaker, But finally ieiir6ved to hla old "home in Xnd|aaa^ &illj howffvler.'k'e^pfng up his pro f«^«pnsll couhection wifcj^c%o whicir ie" Visited very frequeatlyT^^^^ 21,

He thought it might prove interesting to give some particulass relative to his sudden death. On the Saturday before he died, he had advocated a heavy law case with great success in a neighboring county, and felt proud of his success. He felt in excellent spirits all day, and on Sunday attended church and performed 'e his religious devotions as usual. He slept well that -night, and on Monday morning partook of a hearty breakfast. As he was putting on his hat to go to his office, he complained of a severe pain in his chest, and by the advice of his family,' remained at home. A physician was called and administered some medicine Toward evening, while inhaling some prescription, he suddenly expired, with out a word of warning. There was no sorrowful leave-taking, such as commonrenders the death-tied gloomy.4 He" passed tranquilly out of existehee, and* peacefully ended a brave and goodcareer. 's

The history of his connection with the?'bar was well known. In the'state of Indiana he was regarded as a great lawyer, painstaking, conscientious, utterly incorruptible. On the supreme bench of the state he showed his great ability, and his friends urged his appointment to the supreme bench of the United States on ,,, Lincoln at the time Judgo Davis was, elevated to that dignity.

The decisions of Judge Gookins were models of English composition. He was a great constitutional lawyer, and pre-'s pared an argument against the indirect claims in the Alabama controversy which was widely read.

1

The chairman briefly stated the object of tne meeting and awaited its pleasure. Mr. R. W. Bridge was elected secretary.

Mr_ Robert Hervey moved, and it was carried, th#t the chair appoint a commit* tec .of five to draft resolutions of respect to the memory of deceased..

The committee, after im absence of sdme mihutes. returned and reported THE FOLLOWING:

WHEREAS, It has pleased the Supreme Ruler of all Events to remove from this world by a most sudden and unexpected stroke our friend and brother, Samuel B. Gookins, an old and respected member of your bar

WHIJREAS, We, his surviving professional brethren, being desirous ef publicly expressing our appreciation of his pure and estimable personal characted his professional ability, integrity and courtesy, our respect for his memory and profound sorrow for his loss, do hereby

Resolved, That in the death of Judge GookSns we have to deplore the loss of an honorable and distinguished citizen, a Christian gentleman, estimable in .all relations of life, and one of the ablest, and most esteemed members of our ^ar» wliose personal and professional career,,djjring along life, never suffered a blemish, or a stain.

Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be 'presented to eacih of the courts of thifc county, to the courts of the United States, and the Appellate Court of this district, and the Supreme (Court

of the

State of Illinois, And that the chairman of this meeting do appoint gentlemen of the bar to make such presentations and respectfully to request in the name of the bar that thlese resolutions may be spread on their several records.

Resolved, That the secretary of the meeting be requested to furnish a copy to the widow and family of the deceased as tin expression of our sincere sympathy with them in this their great affliction, and that the same be published in the city daily papers and in the Chicago Jjegal Ncws\

In every act of his life his guide was. honor. He left behind him a name un-' ., clouded by a single act of vice. To such' a man death at a ripe old age could not'1 be terrible. His loss, however, wouldf, long be keenly felt by his family and associates.

MB. B. AYEB

followed briefly^ saying that Judge Goo,, kins was the possessor of a large and lib era! mind, and was gifted with a clear perception and sound judgment. Tho. reports of his Indiana decisions would be instructive to all students of legal lore, and would carry his name down to posterity with honorable distinction.

MR. W. C. GRANT''

made a short but telling speech, in, which, he dwelt on the. virtues as well /*s the: ability of Judge Gopkins, and said that-f) the existing generation could have hobetter example to, stir their spirit of emua

JUDGE BLODGETT,

from the chair, said he had intended to say something also, but would reserve his remarks until the resolutions were presented to be spread on thp records of the district court. '.The resolutions were then put andunanimously carried. ,,

1

said hq, could not forbear- addingi his tribute to the memory of the excellent and able man who had been so quickly called away. It had been his .privilege to know Judge Gookins well, a^d a nobler character he had never met throughout the vieisiitudes of a' comparatively long life. Dignified, 'honesi, learned in the. ,law, he won respeot frpm every one, and died regretted fy. the pom-, munities In which he had so long moved, honored beloved, revered. Hfe ^eherable age and' sound attainments (had invested him with' the dignity which bfelonm to* ripe years allied to noi^e acts. Not l*ng ago he h^d met' him while on a professional ,vi^it from Terre Haute to thia city, and in.looking at his stalwart frame and manly* globing' face, his head crowned with tae( snows of three score and ten wintere, he could imagine tt'at the shadow Of death' was even then wginn^ng to throw its ^glbom upon life's lohj way. Judge Gookins, 'himself, had no presentiment of the kind, because he ex-' pressied himself as fefelihg better than^hfe had ever felt before. A few days afterward, and he was no more. H& had left the busy scenes of a useful and honorable career. He had hot died, but emigrated to a higher sphere, for the Christian never dies.

FOLLOWING GENTLEMEN 't.ri

MB. FULLEBSAID:

Jndge Gookins was engaged in activfe: practice as a member of this bar for over, twenty years, and exhibited all the qualities ana accomplishments of the learned-,' diligent and skillful lawyer and distin-, gulmied jurist which he wasi But I think he impressedhis brethren and the community most profoundly with his excellence as a man, notwithstanding his eminence as a lawyer. 'Intercourse with him always seemed to convince one that he possessed—a rare possession—that peace wbieh passeth understanding, the peace of a. conscience void of offense towards God ahdma®. 3 "J

"It is but a few weeks since I met our friend" upon the streets, full of life and vigor and of that cheeriness which waa a marked eharisteric., But, as Bacon says "A hale old man is a tower undermined." Thp, inevitable moment came, and the towpr fell.

I (lo not know that the apparrent unex dectedness of his departure is to be de floored. The prayer for delivery from sudden deathmeans simply that the blow may not fall upon the unprepared, and humanly speaking, we may be assured that Judge Gookins was found ready.

We part with him with sorrow, lo chert ish his memory and emulate his example until we also are summoned hence, happy if equally useful and blameless lives justify as to tts the same hopes' of the futnre as those 'We confidently entertain as* to him.

JTtJDGE BOdEBS

respdfided as follows I enjerved an intimate acquaintance with Judge Gookins for more than twenty years. We came to this city about the «ame time, and during the whole period of his residence Here among us, I knew him well as a lawyer and as a man. I fulLy shared in the general admiration for him as a member of the profession and" a Christian gentleman.' I regret that the pressure of my labors has been so great as to prevent the preparation of any extended remarks for this occasion,,but I cordially concur in the sentiments of the resolutions, and in those of .the gentleman -by whom they have been presented. lire resolutions will be spread upon the records of the court as a testimonial to one who was so long an ornament of ts bar.
