Gen. GARFIELD who is in good
standing in the Republican party,
makes the following declaration, tc
which we invite the serious attention
Of the editor of the Eaton Register,
1t was uttered on one of the last
days of the last session of Congress;
"The man who attempts to get up
a political excitement in this coun.
try on the old sectional issues will
find himself without a party and
without support"

Numerous Republican papers are
printing a paragraph to the effect
"the extra session of Congress has
already cost the country more than
$35o,0o0." In order to get this fig.
ure the salaries of Senators, mem
bers and officers are counted, all Of
which would have to be paid if there
were no session. This is an average
sample of the honesty and reliability
of the Radical press.

the matter. The cry of"Confederate

of the country having already been
supplied as largely as the resources of
the Department would permit. 1t is
to be regretted that the appropriation
last year for the purchase and distri-
button of seeds was wholly inadequate
to the constantly increasing demand
from every part of the country; and
that Congress, in making appropria-
tions for this Department, should fail
to recognize the fact that the introduce
ton of new and valuable seeds into
the country is of greater importance
to the interests and prosperity of the
community than are many OF the OBJ
jects upon which the public money

Mr.. LEFEvER: This circular let
ter is exceedingly discourteous to
members of this House, to character
ize it in no severer terms. When we
apply for seeds for our constituents,
instead of forwarding them as re-
quested, they are informed that the
supply is exhausted because we did
not appropriate more money for the
purchase of the same; that while we
have failed to recognize the impor-
lance of this great interest we have
not failed to recognize interest of
much less Importance by lavish"
appropriations. That, and that only,
is the strong inference.
further desire to say that | am
not willing, so far as l am concerned,
when I make an application of the
Department of Agriculture for seeds
to be sent to q constituent, that that
constituent should receive such a
circular as this. would ask wheth-
er it is the proper thing for the Com
missioner of Agriculture, Or any 9th
er officer of this Government to pass
criticism and reflections of this kind
upon Congress. 1t is not for the
Commissioner of Agriculture to say
whether Congress makes lavish OK
penditures and appropriations in
other directions or not. Further
than that, l think l know the agri-
cultural interests of my district
much better than does the Commits
sioner of Agriculture, and that 1 am
better qualified to furnish them with
such seeds as they may require.
The Commissioner of Agriculture
says the law will not permit him to
furnish seeds to members Of Con
gress to oe distributed through them
to their constituents. Clearly, then,
from the tenor of this circular, he
does not distribute them himself.
What, then, has become of the seeds
for the purchase Of which the liberal
appropriation was male last year.
an appropriation as liberal as the
average preceding year? The gen
tleman from Texas (Mr. Mills,
struck the key note when he sugges
ted an investigation of this Depart
ment-an investigation that shall
show it's internal workings, its ex
penditures, whether extravagant O.
economical, and whether in a direc
ton to develop and advance thu
great interests of agriculture. Ant
this investigation should go still
further, and determine whether it
present chief officer has the conf

country; for if he does not have, al
the appropriations this Congress Gil
heap upon him will not tend to ad
vance the great interests he is sup
