Judge Swayne Denies II.

The New York World published and the
Democratic press copied, with all the pomp
and circumstance of displayed head lines
and profusion of italics, decision al
legged to have been rendered by the United
States supreme court through Judge Swayne,
in 1875 in condemnation of the employment
of General Garfield as counsel in the De
Golyer paving case. The alleged opinion I"
runs as follows "The agreement with Cen
eral Garfield, member of congress, to pay
him $4,000 as contingent fee for procuring
a future appropriation by congress, which ap-
preparation could only come from the COM
mittee Of which he was the chairman, was
sale of influence which no veil can cover
against the plainest principles of public pol.
ICY" etc. In reply to this, Judge Swayne
says in the New York Tribune: $50 far as
| am concerned there is an entire misstate.
ment. l never wrote word of what is at
tributed to me with quotation marks. l
never knew anything of the facts of the
matter charged against General Garfield,
and it was certainly never in any shape be-
fore the supreme court. had, therefore,
neither occasion nor opportunity to express
any judicial opinion upon the subject. 1t
is not stated where any case in which Cen
eral Garfield was concerned is reported. My
confident impression is that | never heard
of such case before. General Garfield is a
personal friend of mine, and | have the
highest confidence in his integrity. The
statements in the World are an entire fab.
rication aud without particle of truth to
sustain them" In order that there might
be no possible mistake in reporting his
words, Justice Swayne himself wrote out
the above denial.
Ex-senator Doolittle, distinguished Dem
ocrat, emphasizes the above denial, and gives
additional prominence to this Infamous fabri-
cation of the Democracy in the following
card; "A serious error has been made by
some newspapers in supposing that the De-
Golyer case ever went to the supreme court,
or that Justice Swayne used the language
attributed to him in commenting upon it.
In the brief submitted to Judge Farwell, in
the circuit court here, another case-Burke
against Child-decided in the supreme court
was cited. and Judge Swayne's opinion
stated. But the mistake has been this,
that part of the language of the brief
which follows the citation of the case of
Burke Us. Child is attributed to Justice
Swayne, language that he never used, for
the case was never before him, and as was
the counsel who submitted the brief, it is
just to General Garfield, to Justice Swayne,
and to myself, that should at once correct
this mistake"
The campaign of decency" from the
Democratic side has prematurely collapsed.
Very few of the papers which published the
falsehood and unctuously commented on it
editorially have had the decency to retract
and apologize.

LOSSES AT SEA--The Philadelphia North
american prints list of thirty-two grain
vessels which sailed from the ports of New
York, Boston, Baltimore and Philadelphia,
Portland and New Orleans, between July l.,
1879, and July |, 1880, and which have
never been heard from. Over two hundred
and fifty lives were lost on these ships and
100000 bushels Of grain. A large share
of these losses was probably due to the vi
cious practice Of loading grain in bulk.
Such cargo shifts in the load and prevents
vessel from righting but there were
doubtless rotten hulks and overloaded ves-
sells in this long list which ought never to
have gone TO sea. II is a curious fact that
the last great Irish famine in lsi7 was also
accompanied by the loss of an extraordinary
number Of American grain ships.

ST.. ALBANs Messenger; "Not long after
the Cincinnati convention, Republican
who resides in another state and had not
seen Mr.. Atkins for some time walked into
the Argus office at Montpelier and said in a
joking way, Good morning, Mr.. Cabinet
Officer Two or three who were sitting by
looked blank, or astonished, and Atkins
went on to say that he did not expect or
want any office. But little later, in more
private way, he said to the gentleman that
it was true henot look for office, but he had
been somewhat instrumental in getting
Hancock nominated, and want you to un-
derstand, said he, that If he is elected there
is nobody in Vermont that can walk over
this rooster"

WIMBLEDON RIFLE MAToH.-The American
rihemen were defeated In the International match
at Wimbledon, Saturday, partly in consequence
OF the disgraceful conduct of one OF them, who
was finally excluded from the team, the members
declaring that they preferred TO be beaten with
gentleman rather than win under other circum-
stances. 1t is also said that the markers were
bribed and the scandal threatens to assume for
midable proportions. The extent of the practice
Is as yet unknown but II Is hardly doubted II must
vitiate the award OF some Of the most important
prizes. one journal says that Ii accounts for the
defeat Of the Americans. in certain contests the
Americans are considered ~ have shown extraor-
binary skill The Globe says their shooting in all

letter from Blaine TO Garfield. He says of
it, :" 1t almost made me cry to read it,

RICHMOND papers concede that .the two
Democratic factions will not come together.
Each claims that IL can carry the state over
the other and the Republican ticket, and
that Hancock will get the electoral vote.
Leading Republicans are confident that if
the Democrats remain disunited Garfield
will have twenty thousand plurality.
