GARFIELD AND R0SECRANS.
T.erfer from Edmund R4rke.

A Letter from 0nluuu kAAFACs
New YoRH, Nov. 3-Io the Editor Of
the New York Tribune: As your CORE
spoudent, w. F. G. S., in communication
in the Tribune OF last Sunday has fallen into
some errors III regard to the suggested canol-
dacy Of Gen. Rosecrans for the Presidency,
trust YOU will allow Inc to make this cor
rectiOn.
The truth and the whole truth in regard to
that transaction is as follows: III May loo''
MIR, Horace Greeley, editor OF the Tribune, in
a private interview with lne, stated that In
his opinion, and in that Of very many OF the
most prominent Republicans, the policy OF
Mr.. Lincoln was leading to the destruction OF
the country: that he and others had so repre-
sented to Mr. Lincoln, but without any good
results. and that nothing remained to
save the Union but the selection OF
some other candidate for the election OF
1854. who would lnfuse greater energy into
the war and inspire renewed hope and con-
fdence among the people. Rosecrans was
then on the high wave Of popularity, and he
seemed to be the right man for the emergency,
and Mr., Greeley cluse1 the Interview W ASK

Drury Lane manaRement brought the elder
Bs,oth to that theatre to act in conjunction with
Kenu. The trial play wac to be - Othelft,. with
Kean as the A',or and Booth as ldpo. The house
was crowded; the excitement prodiKlous. Barry
Cornwall, who was present, writes OF the event:
Booth, at first, seemed to shrink from the COM
bat He, howerer. eventually overcane his fear,
and wsnt through tho part Of IdVD manfully.
But Keani No soenar did rhe interest of the
story begin, and the passion Of the pHrt justify
his ferynr, than he seemed to expand from the
small. quick. resolute figure which hal previous

and tossed him aside With frghtful aud irrcsisti-
path. and death to assault him. The impression
which he made upon the audience has perhaps
never been eQualed In theatrical annals. Booth 8
defeat was complete He would not act with
Kean the second night, although announced to
do so in the bills; he returned to Covenr Garden.
where the public crowded to hiss him for break

disturbances were organized by The Wolves tan

be the verdict" Olive writes passed in London
now upon Edwin Booth, there IL one thing very
certain. His success Or failure will not be the
Cause Of any Of those disgrnceful riots which
here and there mur the annals OF the English
and American stage do not know single
person who does not wish Edwin Booth we'll. In
private life he Is SO gentle, SO retiring, so mod

even in the sn1ne line OF business are fond OF
him. and would scarcely lay feather In his patti

1t is noticeable that. among two.
large and important glasses of voters
there is a total lack of enthusiasm
for the Democratic ticket. The Ger.
mans and the workingmen are worse
than silent on the subject. The an.
tipathy to military rulers. which the
form er class brought from their own.
country easily accounts for their.
aversion to Hancock. They left Ger
many to escape the tyranny Of mill,
tary rule. The workingmen find
nothing to attract them in the record
of either candidate on the ticket.
Hancock, they are already told by
their organs, is Titled aristocrat,"
who was educated at the Govern
ment expense, and who has been in.
the Government pay for nearly forty
years. OF English the same author,
ities say he "has made $2,000,000
without adding one cent to- the act,
ual wealth of the county," and has
lent out his money to f'his poor
neigh bors at per cent. month" -,
This may be severe criticism, but.
that is not the point to be noticed
The fact that it is made is the impor.-
tant one.

COntrasted Results.

The Democratic orators and edi,
tors are trying to make out that the
Republicans have ruined thecountry.
In 1860, after twenty years of Dem-
ocratic rule, a government six per

In 1880, after twenty ears of Res
publican rule, a government four per
cent. bond sells for 81 OS. ,,....
In 1860, after twenty years of DEM
ocratic rule, a loan of 5000, 900 ex.
hausted tile maket for six months.
AT the end Of twenty years of Re-
publican rule a loan of S150,0OO, 900
was taken in Il single day. ....
In twenty years of Republican rule
we find =.
An increase of population of fifty
per cent. 80, .u...
An increase of general agricultural
exports of 600 per cent. .r. .,,
An increase in exports of bread
and bread stuffs of650 per cent.
An increase of exports of manu.
fautured articles of 225 per cent.
An increase of Internal commerce
of 700 per cent. 49,,
An increase Of railway mileage of
1877 per cent.
In 1860, after twenty years of DEM
ocrattc rule, Congress authorized a
loan of S25, 900, 900 to pay current ex-
penses. c.,. ,.r. r..
In 1880, after twenty years of Re-.
publican rule, the Secretary of the
Treasury pays $4,000, 900 of debt
contracted for war brought on by
sohd Democratic South, which now
wants power again SO as to stop the
waving of that blodv shirt, the wear.
ing of which is HancocK's chief efgIory
and his whole available stock as a
candidate for the Presidency.
In 1860, after twenty years of DEM
ocratic rule, the balance of trade
against the country was over $50 ,0OO,-
900.
On May 81, 1880, after twenty
wears of Republican rule, the balance
of trade Was over $l62, 100000 in fa-
vor of the country. D.. ,.,~ 49,. ..,
In 1860, after twenty years of DEM

very serious questions whether. we

country to the demnition bow vows

After twenty years of Republican
rule there is no doubt that we have a.
country, and Alec Stephens and Jere

INTERNATIONAL BIBLE LESSONS.
SUNDAY, JULY 25, 1850.
THE COVENANT WITH NOAH.
GENERAL STATEMENT.

Between the events of our last lesson and
OF the present intervenes a period of more
than fifteen centuries, one fourth of all hui
man history All the annals that remain of
this world before the flood, from the sentence
of Cain to the building of the ark, are found
in less than fifty verses of the Bible. The
young and vigorous blood of the race enable
men to live through the centuries, so that
those who heard the story of creation from
the lips of Adam could relate it to the ears OF
Shem. There were warriors and conquerors
poets and musicians, artisans and builders
in those archaic ages. But especially do we
discern then, as in all history since, two
classes of character: the holy children Of
God. asld the wick ed seed ,of mon WeInarlxt
tiae one 4sh auaiIy wNa}},8 ~ numbers, IT,
power, and IN EfthfuineSs, While the other
increased apace in every evil element, until
the utter extinction of religion was threaten
ed. God, whose eye is eyer on the watch for
the interests of his Kingdom, saw that there
was but one way to avert the catastrophe of n
ruined world; the destruction of its evil
elements, anda new start to the race under
better aus pices. He who holds all forces in
his hand determined to let loose upon earth
the storms of deluge. He commanded his
one faithful servant, Noah, to commence the
building of a great ark, or floating chest,
which snould during its very construction,
serve q warniL to the world. The man
of God obeyed, though no signs of danger
were at hand, and persevered in his task
through the SCOTS of the wicked around him
for a hundred and twenty years, until at last
the huge vessel stood finished upon the land.
By divine command he placed within it pairs
of all the animal ife in the region inhabited
by men, which my not have extended far
beyond the borders of the Mcsopotaman
basin, and reaching up toward the Caspian on
the north. Himself and his family then en-
tered, and the door was shut. A fierce storm
now began, with rain pouring from above, the
rivers flooding around, and, perhaps, by
recession of the earth, the seas encroached
upon the land, until every mountain top of
the inhabited region was covered. and the
dying wall of earth's last inhabitant was
drowned in the roar of the tempest. Month
after month passed by, until at last the
strange ship grounded on some mountain in
the Armenian district and after a year spent
within the walls of their wandering home,
the patrarchal family emerged upon the des-
olate earth. Their first act was sacrifice of
Thanksgiving and of conservation to God.
AS the smoke ascended from the earth, the
rainbow spanned the arch of heaven, Gods
token of a covenant never again to destroy
the human race by a food.
