How Shall Gen. Garfield Treat
Certain Democrats and
Republicans.

Cincinnati Commercial cOunsels Gen.
Garfield to treat "three of his old friends
with the coolest civility in public, and
privately not at ALL" The three old
friends whom Gen. Garfield is advised
to freeze in public intercourse and cut
dead in private are Mr.. Hewitt. Gen
R,secrans, and Judge Black. OF the
last named, Mr.. Halstead says, "he
coiled about Garfield like a snake, to
strike at last, underline guise of friend
ship, shameful blow"
The editor of the Troy Times, anoth-
err Republican newspaper, is informed
that there is i'm existence letter from
Gen. Garfield i'm which he intimates
that he shall take the course which
Field Marshal Murat Halstead recon-
mends.
The editor of the Indianapolis Jour
nal, another Republican newspaper, is
informed by "a gentlemen who has
converted with Gen. Garfield in regard
to the MOrey letter." that, SO far as he
to exclude "Barnum, Hewitt & Co.
from all social and official relations
with the President and his Cabi-
net"
Judge Blacks offence against Gen.
Garfield was that, while using his ut
most endeavors to shield his friend
from the consequences of wrongdoing.
he declined to commit himself to a de-
fence resting on perjury. We imagine
that it will make very little difference
to Judge Black now whether his per-
jured friend smiles upon him or not.
Mr.. Hewitt's offence lies in his refusal
to accept as final Gen. Garfield's I'M
sworn denial of an alleged fact. It
is probable that Gen. Gartield's inten-
tons give Mr.. Hewitt very little con-
Germ.
But the course recommend by the
editor of the Cincinnati Commercial
and applauded by the editors of the
Troy Times and the indianapolis Jour
nal-the policy of social retaliation
against those who have refused to be-
believe Gen. Garfield's word. either
with or without oath-will, if faithfully
pursued, lead to some interesting com
plications within the Republican par
ty.
For example, the editor of the Gin
cinnati Commercial declined to accept
Gen. Garfield's sworn declaration that
lie had received no dividends on Credit
Mobilier stock. Garfield" said Field
Marshal Murat Halstead, in his vigor-
Gus way, 'is marked with the political
"After Ames." said the
Cincinnati Commercial, "had testified
the second time as to Garfield's guilt,
fring it upon him clearly and unnais-
tdkdbly, the General found that to stay
away was prudent, and never appear
ed" Can Field Marshal Mprat Hal
stead expect that Gen. Garfield will
treat him now otherwise than with the
coolest civility in public, and privately
not at alp"
For example, also, the editor of the
indianapolis Journal once refused to
believe Gen. Garfield's evidence under
oath. GAS to the members of the
House," he said, "who are more or less
in the business, viz, Bing-
ham, Kelley, Garfield. every honest
man will say that they did wrong
thing" "They do deserve censure,"
he continued, land whether Congress
it or not, we entertain no
doubt their constituents will" This |
was long after Gen. Garfield had sworn
that he did not do that "wrong thing.u
Now that Gen. Garfield has got into |
power, what treatment from him does |
the editor Of the Indianapolis Journal
expect?
TO instance one more case in point, |
the editor of the Troy Times has dis
tinctly affirmed his conviction that |
Gen. Garfield cannot be believed UNI
der oath. He has not only done this, |
but he has done it in insulting lam
guage, referring to the President-electI
as "the pious Credit Mobilier Garfield, )"
and gloating over his agony as he
'.wriggled and squirmed Ikea skinned
eel.n Does the editor of the Troy
Times look forward to anything from
Gen. Garfield but the coolest civil /
ity in public and the cut direct in pri-
vate?
This particular plan of revenge upon
public men who have told the truth
about Gen. Garfield, or refused to be-
Iieve his statements, will operate some
what queerly when carried into detail.
