by am increased majority is claimed as certain. II
Is almost superluOus TO say he deserves this Few
men in Congress have won the respect Of the e.
tire country as General Garfield aud the assurance
of his return at so critical a moment in pOlitiea,
affairs will be hailed as good news everywhere.

Secretary Sherman is not without honor in his
own county. The Republicans Of Rchland County,
where he resides, met in convention last week and
passed series of resolutions heartily commencing
the Administration, and warmly resenting the Dem
ocratic attack upon Mr. Sherman. After speaking
of him as their nelghbor and toWnsman, testfy1ng
TO his purity in private life his probity in public
affairs his devotion 60 the country in war and in
peace his preGmiuent ability through which the
finances of the country have reached certainty and
sOlidity," the resolutions denOunce all attempts To
defame his character, and declare that those who
know him best "Tesent any and all inslnuatiOns
against his strict integrity and perfect rectitude in
all his relations OF life"
