Garfield's Letter of Acceptance. Tlio Republican papers do not seem to enthuse over Garfields letter of acceptance with that wildncss and spontaneity which that ex-Itev. gentleman }f specu lative proclivities looked tor and so much desired. It is too evident that he was writing to please, which is, of all things the most unpleasing to men who have any sense of dignity and independence in themselves or appreciation of it in others There is a large class of men who would much rather vote for a man who differs widely from them in his views if he have the manhood to take his stand, but who feel justly offended by so obvious an attempt, to agree with thom, for which pur pose Garfield has thrown his reccord to the dogs.

The Nation, a Republican paper, com. mcnting upon the letter of acceptance says "Theietter, which reads as tamely as a message from the White House, will prove a cruel disappointment to those independcnte who had hoped to find in it a trumpet-call, or at least some basis for their assertion that its author is 'the platform's best embodiment.' It recalls very udpleasantly Gen. Garfield's role at the convention of moderator and liarmonizer. It will tend to revive thesperits of the stalwarts, as it gives them no ground of offence, and leaves them unliindml in their choice of campaign issues. As a vital, historical document it bears no comparison with Mr. Ilayes' letter, and will pass into as speedy oblivion as the platform which inspired it. It does nothing, where it might have done much, to raise the Presidential controversy above a simple balancing of the collective merits of tiie two opposing parties. Mr. Garfield remains a trained legislator as .againsi trained soldier, and this fact must still be allowed its weight. What we miss is a personal tone giving an added dignity to the canvass, and kindling in the party an honest enthusiasm for higher aims and ideas."

Commenting upon this the Boston IJernld, another Republican paper, says: "The Notion only expresses what many independent, voters feel. They remember that Mr. Ilayes came out with a letter much better than they expected, and they regret that Garfield, whose general course as a statesman has been broad, independent and progressive, did not venture to place his cause upon the ringing expression of what is best in him. The nomination seems to have clipped his wings. His anxiety to be elected has tempted him to lower his tone, lest ho might offend the "machine-' element of the

Kirty.

We think ho has made a mistake, was sure of the "machine" votes, in any event. They always go for the party candidate. He needed to excite enthusiasm in that great body of independent, thinking voters who were disposed to think well of him, but who will not become enthusiastic or much interested in the prospect of an administration perfectly satisfactory to the spoilsmen. It would be better "to be defeated representing the best than to be elected by a concession to the worst element. It would be exceedingly disagreeable to be beaten after letting down."

The Herald may bo correct in the statement that he teas mrc of the machine anytcQ/, but we arc a little doubtful abovjit it. The darned*old thing had been set to run for Grant and when Garfield was nominated it was found that various parts needed repairs. Garfield's apprehension was certainly*well founded that he would not get the hearty support of the machine unless he could appease the ma cliinesC. Even if they did not go against him they were liable to kill him with a weak support. Garfield felt the force of these circumstances, and by his choosing to.stand upon policy instead of principle, his endeavor to pacify all by careful trimming, he has shown that his sagacity in grasping the situation was much greater than his judgment and manhood in dealing with it.

A OBEKET meeting was held yesterday by thq President and Secretary Ramsey. The other members are over the country making stump speeches,

The Credit Mobiler Case.

The Republicans are trying to better the 'case of General Garfield and the credit Mobiler by attempts to make it out that the accusation originated with the politi cal opponents of the General. This will never do. They originated with leading Journals of the Republican party, such as the New York Times and Tribune. They were revived and brought before the public by the thoughtless and excited persons who precipitated his nomination upon the Chicago convention. They were in. troducecj by the Republicans into the Congressioual election of 1874 and bea Richard C.'Parsons, a colleague of Gar field in the'DeGoyler pavement affair. In 1876 a Congressional convention of Republicans met in the town of Warren, Ohio, and passed resolutions and issued an address araigning Gargfield for his connection both with the Credit Mobiler and with the DeGoyler pavement, in language very much stronger than has so far been used about either matter,' by any Democratic journal. These Republicans declared. "The Republican party has dono much "to purify itself within itself. Its Whiskey Ring revenue officers arc convicted "and imprisondfl. Belknap is deposed "and impeached, and only escapes coneviction by a technicality. Its salary"stealing, Credit Mobilier, pavement-joo-"bing Congressmen are mostly retired, "but James A. Garfield remains!"

This address signed by somo of the most reputable Republicans of the district, including Mr. J. A. Giddings, of Ashtabula, a near relative of the great Congressional leader of the original antislavery party. Theso Republicans furthermore said:

We have no grievances. We never "sought favors at Mr. Garfield's hand "and, have no personal quarrel with him "On the contrary, we have been among "his warmest political friends and supporters, and now only attack his acts and "conduct in public life and the character "he has thereby attained. It is easier to "float with the tide than to row against it, "and we regret the necessity that compels "us to denounce him."

Another committee resolved upon the •ame subject Seventh,—Resolved That futher ar raign and denounce James A Garfield for his corrupt connection with the Credit Mobilier,. for his false denials thereof before his constituents, for his perjured dential thereof before a committee of hia peers in Congress, for fraud upon his constituents in circulating among (hem a pam. phlet purporting to set forth the finding of said committee and the evidence against him, when in fact material portions thereof! were omitted and garbled. "Eight—Resolved, That we futher arraign and charge him with corrupt bribery in selling his ofiicinl influence as chairman th* Committee on Appropriations of $g,Q00 to the De Golyer pavement ring to aid them in securing a contract from the Board of Public Works of the District of Columbia selling his influence to aid said ring in imposing upon the people of said District a pavement which is almost worthless at a price three times its cost, as sworn to by one of' the contracttors selling his influence to aid said ring in procuring a contract, to procure which it corruptly paid $97,000 for influence selling his influence in a matter that involved no question of law, upon the shallow pretex that he was acting as a% lawyer."

There accusations and others as stern as those were publicly made and went unchallenged long before the Chicago convention. Do not the^e charges made to present the re-election of Garfield as a Congressman by his own party associates in 187G, deserve to be maturely reconsid" ered and investigated now as they attach to a candidate for the Presidency?

A Remarkable Coincidence. Lastrnight, Mr. Philip May figured out tlie following singular results which he has kindly furnished the GAZETTE.: F"\

WINFIEIJD SCOTT HANCOCK, JAMES ABRAHAM OARFIEUD. By looking over the names of both can dictates for President of the United States you will find the most astonishing results in letters as well as figures. You will find in the first place that both candidates have in their full names tlie same number of letters, namely, 20. You will also find by placing each latter according to the number in the alphabet in which it stands, say, for A 1, for 2, for 20 and placing them in the following manner tlie following will be tlie Tesult:

Mr. Arthur's Case, f-

Chester A. Arthur, Republican candir for the Vice Presidency, is out with a letter of acceptance. After giving advice to'the party which made a mistakes in nominating him, he says: "The resolution refering to the public service seems to me deserving of approval Surely, no man should be the incumbent of an office the duties of which he is, for a catfse unfit to perform, who is lacking in ability, fidelity, or integrity, which a proper administration of ..such oflice demands."

This Arthur is the same man who was kicked out of the New York Custom House for dishonesty. He is. the same man against whom the Chicago merchant made charges of corruption and proved them. He is the same man wilt) received the following from President Hayes on Jan., 31,1879, ho being the Collector of the Port of"New York: ij"With a deep sense of my obligations unjlcr the Constitution, I cegard it as my plain duty to suspend you in order ^iat the oflice may be honestly adminsstered."

And still this fellow has the brazen faced audacity to talk of Civil- Service eform. Well! Well!

ACCORDING to some tables published in an Austrian nautical periodical, recently received from Vienna, the total number of sea-going vessels of all nations lost last year was greater than in 1878, owing, presumably, to the exceptionally unfavorable weather which prevailed in the early part of 1879. Including 97 sailling ships and twelve steamers reported "missing," of which no vestigo has been found, 1523 sailing ships and 125 steam vessels were lost in 1879, while in 1878 the total losses amounted to only 1362 sailing ships and 130 steam vessels. Classified according to the flag under which they were sailing' it appears that 504 of the lost sailing ships and 19 of the steamers belonged to England, 218 sailing and 8 steam vessels to tlie United States, 124 sailing and 3 steam, ships to France, 117 sailing ships and 5 steamers to Germany, 112 sailing vessels and 1 steamer to Norway, 04 sailing ships to Italy, 61 sailing vessels and 2 steamers to Holland, 54 sailing ships to Sweden, 44 to Denmark, 40 to Greece, 28 sailing vessels and 1 steamer to Austria, 18 sailing vessels and 1 steamer to Portugal, 17 sail ing and no less than steam vessels to Spain, 12 sailing vessels to Russia, 5 to Nicaragua, 8 to Chili and 1 each to Bolivia, Belgium, Liberia, Gautcmala, New Granada apd Costa Rica. pa—^

To show that "the greatest harmony prevails among the Republicans" we present the following to our readers. Itis a bcatiful exhibition of brotherly affection:

Some of the third-termers go so far as to say that they would "rather have Hancock than another Hayes," aud they want assurances that GARFIELD will not follow in the footsteps of his illustrious predecessor. Vc presume the truth will make them free to vote for Garfield..— Cincinnati Comrnereial(Rep.)

If this means anything, it means that GARFIELD'S Administration is to be mortgaged in advance to the machino which was smashed and broken in Chicago. If any such bargain is made, arfleld will stand a lively chance of defeat at the hands of the independent voters, and deserve to.—Springfield Republican (Rep.)

If Gen. GARFIELD has any influence over the so-called'" reformers," he should exert it to keep them from such exhibitions of idiocy as the above. The "machine" represents 95 per cent of the party. It jviH vote for Garfield to a man, and anybody who thinks it will then quietly allow itself to be thrust aside in favor of a lot of sneaks and hypocrites is a great simpleton—that's all. Ono experience of that kind is quite enough.—Globe-Demo, crai. .......

NEWPORT has not yet recovered frohl the effects of the appalling disaster, or rather disapointment, in the unexpected announcement that Prince Leopold has been obliged to cancel his Newport en. gagements, "owing to a slight injury to one of his ankles, received while salmon fishing." One of Leopold's ankles sprained! What a calamity I We tllink it a rather lame excuse.

WHEN the Republican's controlled Congress the lobby prospered, the appropirations were large and the newspapers were full" of stories of jobbing and corruption. And just at that time James A. Garfield was at the head of the Committee on Appropriations and leader of the Re publican majority in the House!

CHASTINE COX.

Jerked Into Eternity Sure Enough.

NEW Yowfc, July 15.—Ch&stine Cox bade good night to Deputy Gideon and Keeper Orr at half-past eleven o'clock tonight. He soon fell asleep, and the watch ers were only once disturbed, when at about two o'clock in the morning he screamed out "Don't don't! I didn't do it Oh, mother, mother" The watchers ig1 but found him sleeping.

Cox slept quietly until half past eighd when he arose and dressed himself. Ols Annie, the matron, Foster's cook, prepar ed for him a large bowl of coffee, two boiled eggs and toast. Cox sat on hi, little eamp stool munching his breakfast and holding his bowl coffee on one hand when there came suddently the echo ot falling of a lot of timber and boards. Cox stopped and listened intently. Again came the heavy fall of heavy lumber, and at that moment Cox let his Dowl of coffee crash on the floor of his cell anp staggard out into the corrider, He had been suddently taken with nausea, jje soon re covered, and said he felt better.

Two hundred policemen, under the command of ten Sergents. assisted by nine Roundsmen, have been ordered by Superintendent Walling to report to In spector Murray at the Tombs at 7 a. to-morrow to act as guards. The Deputy Sheriffs, in black clothes and black hats, -are ordered to be at the prison at half-past seven.

Cox was attended to the scaffold by three colored and one white clergyman He was cool and collected. He joined earnestly in the devotions the cell and on the way to tlie gallows sang a hymn,in an undertone. When under the noose Chaplain Law prayed for some time fervently, Cox moving his lips in prayer. He made no audible remarks on the scaffold. When jerked into the air there was no rebound. The muscles twitched slightly, the hands were convulsively raised and the body swung gently. Nine minutes afterwards the chest heaved once or twice, then all was still. Seven minutes later Cox was pronounced dead. An inquest was held and the body was removed to the undertaker's. The funeral will take place Sunday from Ihe Fifteenth street colored Methodist church.

NW YORK, July 16.—Chastine Cox, convicted of the murder of Mrs. Hull, was hanged this morning' in the jail yard of the Tomb's in the presence of about 200 persons. At 8:37 the noose around the neck of Cox was attached to the pendent rope and he was at once jerked into the air. After hanging sixteen minutes Cox was pronounced dead.
