Hon. J. G. Blaine, Speaker of the
House of Representatives.

"The New York Herald prints the
above and replies to it in an editorial
from which we made the following
extracts. X x x x
Judge Blacks letter came under our
notice day before yesterday, but it
seemed SO inadequate a defense, and
in some respects so damaging TO Judge
Blacks client, that we preferred to
wait day in the hope that General
Garfield would accept the profered
courtesy of our columns for Il defense
which could not he SO easilyriddIed into
shreds. We are confident that Gar
field could not make so lame an argu-
ment for himself as Judge Black
made for his distinguished client \ x
We think it a mistake for General
Garfield's friends TO parade Judge
Blacks letter as defensive document.
Ii was written to serve his client in a
most critical emergency, and having
failed to accomplish its object then,
it is a boomerang now. Its date was
February 18th, 1S73-three days be-
fore the report of the Poland Commit-

tee. Although addressed to speaker
Blaine, it was intended to influence
the committee and save Mr.. Garfield
from censure in its forthcoming re-
port, As often happens to skillful
lawyers, Judge Black made an unsuc-
cessful defense of his client.
To perceive the bearing of Judge
Blacks letter, we must compare it
with Mr.. Garfeld's sworn testimony
before the committee on which the
charge of perjury is founded. Janua-
ry II, 1873, Mr.. Garfield swore as
follows:
Mr.. Ames never gave nor offered
to give me any stock or other valua>
bile things as a gift. Ionce asked and
obtained from him, and afterward re-
paid him loan of $500. That
amount is the only valuable thing |
ever received from or delivered to
him. | never owned, received or
agreed to receive any stock Of the
Credit Mobilier or of the Union Pa
cifc railroad, nor any dividends Or
profits arising from either of them.
Judge Black virtually admits that
this testimony was not true. MIR.
Garfield swors that he never had any
connection with the Credit Nlobilier
stock; Judge Black merely contends
that he had no "guilty" connection.
Garfield swore, most absolutely, that
he had never had anything whatever
to do with it, and the gist of Black 5
letter is to show that although ne did
have a connection with it he did not
understand its nature. X x
X 4 1t is amazing that the friends
of Mr.. Garfield should parade Judge
Blacks Letter as a defense. Instead
of defense it is a confession. 1t was
confession that the most skilled cOun,
sci he could employ would not ven
ture to defend him, Oh his OWL
sworn statements. That ground ol
defense was abandoned entirely and
Judge Black was reduced to "pleaC
the baby act" Mr.. Garfield swort
that he had never touched the gun
Judge Black pleaded that when he
handled it he did not know that il
was loaded. The plain contradiction
between the oath Of the defendant
and the argument of his counsel makes
the republication of Judge Blacks let
ter perfect boomerang.
We suppose that nobody is quite
green enough to imagine that Judge
Black volunteered his defensive letter
Mr.. Garfield found himself in a des
perate situation and applied to a grea
Democratic lawyer to extricate him
The Republican client must have fel
that he was hard pressed when HI
had recourse to such aid.

The great bulk Of the money ex.
torted from the placemen and parti.
sans of the Republican party has
been and will be applied to buy
voters wherever they can be bought,
and by the ballots Of such mercen.
aries to overcome the votes of a real
majority of the honest people of the
country, whose unbought suffrage
on either side would and should de-
eide the issue of every electoral con.
test. This habit of using money for
debauching voters and corrupting
the ballot has grown in this country,
from the origin of the Republican
party until now, to such fearful pro-
portions as to warrant the apprehen-
sion that our elections, and there.
fore our civil liberties, depend to day
on the wealth of a few capitalists
and corporations, who allow it to be
employed to carry elections by the
prostitution of large purchasable

Consolidation.

Revolutions in government some
times depend on accidents. In pop
ular systems of polity they most al
ways turn on the will of the people,
and if that will is guided by pas
sion, rather than by reason, the rev.
olution will tend towards either ty-
ranny or anarchy, and not towards
regulated political liberty and social
civilization. 1t certainly will not
tend towards civil order and estab.
lished authority.
1t is, moreover, a proverb, that
revolutions never go backwards"
IF, then, a revolution occurs in re.
public, the State must not only re-
cede from popular to monarchial or
e.igarchical rule, but continue On
towards an absolutism like that of
Russia.
Are our people prepared for that
change in their political system 3
That the Republican party, or its
leaders at least, wish to revelation.
ize our American Government by
wiping out in effect, if not in form
and name, all of our State govern
ments and consolidating all power in
the hands of the federal authorities,
is proved BY their avowed principles
and their acts. If they can get the
people to support them at the bal
lot-box in that scheme, they will ul-
timately succeed in converting a con.
federacy Of free Democratic Com.
monwealths-which, within their
own prescribed sphere and limita-
tions, are severally independent and
sovereign-into despotism as COM
plete and simple as that of the Gar
of Muscovy. Are the American
people ready and willing to aid any
political party in consummating
such a revolution?
