GARFIELD ON THE TARIFF.

The following letter from General
Garfield the newly elected senator from
Ohio, on the tariff question was read at
the Senatorial caucus in Columbus. The
General had been charged with being a
free-trader, the charge being founded
upon the fact that he was an honorary
member of the Golden Club" of Eng
land, which is in favor of free trade in
that country. The letter shows where
MIR. Garfield stands, and that he is in
full accord with the Republican party
upon this question.
WASHINGTON, d. C. Dec. 10, 1879.
DEAR SIR: Yours of the 18th inst, in
closing a slip from the Columbus Dis
patch, is received. The writer of that
article is either stupidity ignorant or awill
full falsifier. Ihave voted for every Repub-
lican tariff bill which has passed the
House since have been member of it.
I have made at least four elaborate
speeches on the tariff since have been
in Congress, besides numerous short
speeches in debate. My first full speech
on the subject was in 1866, the second
i'm 1870, and the third and fOurthin 1873
have been recognized for several years
past as the leader of the Republican
party on this subject, and every Repub-
lican member of the House knows my
position, and, as 1 believe, approves it
In 1868 l made a speech in favor of re-
sumption of specie payments, in which
/ discussed deliberately the doctrines of
money and the obligation of the nation
to pay its debt. The Secretary of the
Treasury sent some copies of that speech
to our Minister in London, believing
that it would strengthen our credit
abroad. John Bright received copy,
and was SO pleased with it that he had me
elected an honorary member of the
"CObden Club" | had never before
heard of this club, and up to that time
Charles Sumner was the only member
of Congress who had ever been thus
cOmplimented. Some years after that |
learned that the Golden Club believed i'll
free trade, as nearly all Englishmen do;
but of course | was in no way response
bic for their belief. This matter has
been repeatedly explained in the iron
districts in Ohio; and in MahOning cOuI-
where the largest mills and furnaces
are situated, ran ahead Cf the state
and county ticket last year, and | have
the support of almost every intelligent
manufacturer of the district. | write
this freely that you may understand
how entirely without foundation the
article is in the Dispatch. l will be
obliged to you if you will take occasion
to correct the erroneous impression
which this anonymous writer is seeking
to make upon the public mind. Very
Truly yours, j. A. GARFIELD.

THE special Senate committee for the
investigation of the negro exodus, as
now announced, consists of Voorhees,,
Vance, and PendletOn, Democrats, and
Window and Blair, Republicans. Mr..
Voorhees, will now have abundant OPP
portunity to prove the dreadful cOnspir-
acy he scented in the exodus, to colon
ize Indiana with Black Republicans. If
he investigates far enough he will not
fail to discover that only the bitter in
Justice and prescription and bulldOzing,
to which they were subjected by South
ern Democrats, could drive the negroes
from the South, and that any effect up
ON the vote in the Northern states would
but be righteous retribution.

TREASURER GILFILLAN says that, not
withstanding heavy payments, the
standard silver dollars continued to ac-
cumulate in this vaults until he now
has nearly $3l,O00O00. He complains
that Director Burchard coins about ST.

the coinage to about $2,3OO,OOO monthly
Treasurer Gilfillan called the attention
of Judge Buckner, Chairman of the
Banking and Currency Committee, this,
but Buckner made no objection. He is
decidedly silver dollar man, and pre-
fers that coinage be increased rather
than diminished.

and accompanied them to Charlotte, N.

about the material interests and pros

and was much interested in the manu-
featuring and mineral resources of the
State. He talked as though there was
a great future for the South if the peo-
pie would give their attention to manu-

THURSDAY of last week there was quite
a prolonged discussion in the House as
to such modification of the rules as would
practically give the Committee on Appro-
priatiOns control of the river and harbOr
bill, is easily perceptible. The change
proposed would take the bill from COM
mittee, the members of which especially
represent the interests concerned in
water routes, and would send it to a
committee known to be hostile to such
improvements, and in which any bill
could be effectually smothered. The
proposition involved was practically
whether the House should commit itself
to a policy hostile to river and harbOr
improvements.

A JOINT caucus of the Democratic
members of the Mississippi Legislature
was held at Jackson, Miss, last Saturday
evening for the purpose of nominating
successor to Senator Bruce, Six ballots
were taken, resulting in no choice, and
the caucus adjourned until Monday
evening. The sixth ballot resulted as
follows: Barksdale 50, Waltham 38, Sim
gleton SO, scattering 5. This would in
dictate that in Mississippi the way to
political preferment was to assasinate
political opponent. This is what brought
Barksdale into prominence.

Senate has determined to refuse to pay
Senator Sharon, of Nevada. and compel
that Senator to institute proceedings to
test the question whether he can draw
pay when he does not perform any real
service. Senator Sharon has once been
paid for whole term during which he
was not once in his seat. He appeared
at Washington the other day for the first
time this session. There is law, which
is not often enforced. which provides
that the Secretary of the Senate shall
deduct from the pay of senator's proper
proportion for every day they are absent
without leave for other cause than sick

IRISHMEN AND THEIR WRONGS
JAMES REpPATH's STORY OF THE MAN
WHO WENT TO IRRLAHD AND SHOT
LORD LEITRIN.


JAMES REpPATH's STORY OF THE MAN
WHO WENT TO IRELAHD AND SHOT
LORD LEITRIK.
About 1000 men and women assem-
bled in the Academy Of Music, New
ark, last evening, at q mass meeting
of the new Irish Land League Of that
city. Tho mother Of Mr.. Parnell, the
irish agitator, and Miss Ellen A. Ford
were among the occupants OF the
crowded stage. They were greeted
with applause. Tho motto, "Justice
to Ireland" was displayed in the pro-
scenium arch. Mr.. James II. Connel-
ley presided, and introduced Mr.. Jas.
Redpath, who arrived from Ireland
yesterday noon. He at once began to
speak of the land system in Ireland. In
certain counties, he said, tenants who
have reclaimed bog land were driven
out by the frequent raising of their
rent. Some of these tenants emigIa-
ted to America. but men with "long"
families could not do this.
A 'long" family, he explained, has
from nine TO fourteen children. A
woman who had only four children
apologix ID to Mr.. Redpsth by saying
she had not been housekeeping long.
Nine-tenths of the landlords are alb
sentees. "One man." the speaker
said, ''has driven thousands of tenants
70 the poor houses and to their graves.
II that man is shot shall not wear
mourning. Concerning this subject OF
shooting, have been unable to find
that any decent landlord has been shot.
Wherever there is a decent landlord
the people would die for him."
As to the eviction Of tenants, Mr.. Red
path said there has not been so much OF
1t this year. "This," he said, ais because
there was Land League in Leland
Ireland never had q more honest leader
than Charles Stewart Parnell. Parnell
has been asked what he wants. He
wants nothing except that the landlords
shall get out OF Ireland. All this year
there have been only i've cases Of "aecl-
dental death that any one can attribute
20 the tenants. One of the mon killed
was Lord Leit.im. If he bad not been
shot, II would have been an eternal dis
race. He ruined thirty pure girls, and
the brother Of one of them went to Ire
land from Chicago, and shot him down

eT, "and If | meet aim in Chicago, /

TEE GnEENBAcKrns ought to have

hE NhhhNbAOhhAo Oukhs W hhfS
been long ago convinced that there
was no value in paper "hat" money.
But there are some very reasonable
people on other subjects, and good
and substantial citizens who claim
to be members of q Greenbaok organi-
zation, who hold to the obsolete idea
that ''fiat" money is so valuable, that it
may be substituted for bank notes or
gold and silver. In this class We pre-
sumo Mr.. John G. jackson places
himself. He was the candidate for
Congress of the Grecnback organi-
cation in this State in 1878, and re-
ceived the votes of many Of his TO
mer Republican allies that year but
they nearly all forsook him in the last
campaign. Having been candidate
for Congress in two campaigns, and
been prominent member of the old
Wing party and subsequently of the
Republican party, he is we'll known
all over this county and State. He
acquired reputation among our farm
ers as the owner and operator Of the
Jackson lime quarries IN Mill Creek
Hundred, aud also as the Chief Engi-
neer in the building OF the Whining
ton & Western Railroad Having 80
much experience it is surprising to us
that he elings to the theories he nd-
vanees with regard to paper issues.
He ought to remember that when the
government had a million OF soldiers
in the field it could not by its 'fiat'
make Q paper dollar worth 100 cents /; |
on the contrary, with q million and a
half Of bayonets at its beck and call
and the sternest necessity for keeping
up the worth Of the greenbaok dollar
il sunk to about 80 cents on the dol
lar and every gold and silver dollar
disappeared from circulation, except |
for purposes that the greenback could
not be used. And then followed the
reverse illustration, I. g., just as the
soldiers were discharged and the
greenback became less a necessity the
more valuable it become, but did not
reach the value of gold and silver un-
Til the government had coined suffi-
cient of gold and silver dollars to
assure the people Of its ability to make
good its promises to pay the paper
money it had guaranteed, with gold |
aud silver, at the option of the holder.
We do not intend to enter the lists
with Mr.. jackson to discuss the pro
position TO substitute paper money for
gold and silver. and said SO when we
yielded to his request 10 publish his
communication. Having been life
long admirer of jefferson and Jack
son, and regarded them as in favor
of hard money, we do not propose to
have our faith in their principles

ence Of gold and silver to sustain lis
