THE rI;EsiDENT-IeLECT.

GENERAL GARFIELD positively declines TO
talk "uilice' to any one until after his inau-
guration. Like the Irishman's owl, however,
he is keeping up a "diyil OF a thinkin'"-
Louis Globe Democrat.
Since the election General GARFIELD
has become one of the best listeners in the
country. He receives all callers with uni
form courtesy and gives close attention to
all that is said in conversation relating 20
he future policy of the government, the
makeup of his cabinet OF The filling of
Offices, but his own remarks and replies re-
late more to the past and present than to
the future. He is courteous, but cautious;
very attentive, but as noiseless as the deep
sea on all topics in which newsmongers
and expcctants arc painfully anxious. As
Senator CoNKLING might express it, relat-
ing to the callers and interviewers who
swarm about him here, at Mentor, or while
in transit between these points -"Thc shall
lows murmur, but the deeps are dumb"
The president-elect has important duties
and responsibilities before him, with which
ia cannot afford to trAe or make mistakes.
The general political policy of his admins
tration foreshadows Itself General GAR
FIELD is a stalwart, rs is the party that
elected him. He will prove faithful to
the fundamental principles Of his party
and TO his own honest convictions of duty,
and this is the paramount question of iu-
terest with the people who have named
him as theirpresidcnt in preference TO Gem
eral HANCOCK. All other questions are
matters Of little consequences to the coun-
try, 80 long rs he surrounds himself with
able and true representatives of the princi-
pies which were inscribed upon the repuh-
lican banner in the con test which assured
his election and who are to serve as his adj
visers and official associates in the admins
tratiOn of the government. All other con-
sideralions sink into insiguifcancc when
compared with that of characlerizmg his
administration with able men and u stern
fidelity to the principles which have pre-
dominated in the public mind and have
controlled the result which will soon place
the reins of government in his hands 1t
matters but little who are TO compose the
cabinet or ill the various positions of re-
spousiblily IN the government, provided
they are republicans in principle aud capa-
bic aud honest men.

COUNTING our AND corrlNs.

AT the September election held in Monroe
county, Ark, for county officers, there were
two candidates for probate iudge-T. w.
HOOPER (dem.) and ]. b. CnAPL1NE (rep.).
The contest was close and the official re-
turns declared HOOPER elected CHAP
LINE charges that he was counted out, and
instituted a suit in contest for the position.
He subsequently abandoned the suit, for
the reason, as he alleges, that not only
threats against his life were made in the
event of his prosecuting the suit but late
one nghta coffin was brought into his yard
labeled "J. b. CHAPLISE, take timely warn
ing. Thus TO all id rascals." Also that
on the night of the 10Th of September 1880,
an armed mob of twelve men, with black
ened flces or black masks over their faces,
surrounded the house of WILLIAM II.
LoGwELr, one of the judges of the cleo
tion in Jackson township, Monroe county,
Ark, who was then the lawful custodian of
the duplicate tally sheet and poll-book for
that township, and by unlawful force and
menace compelled the said WILLIAM II.
LoGwELL TO surrender and give mp to
them the said tally-sheet and poll-boolS
that these unlawful acts have created much
fear and alarm in the county of Monroe
and they clearly indicate a secret, wide
spread conspiracy to deprive CHAPLINE OF
his lawful rights in defiance of law. This
outrage upon right calls for universal con-
demnation.

COMMENTING on the fact that it could
print the result Of the presidential election
on the day after election the Richmond
(Ky.) Herald recalls the incident that
forty years ago, when HENRY CLAY and
JAMES KNOX POLK were candidates for the
presidency, after casting their votes party
of Richmond gentlemen went to the noun
tains to procure deer for grand barbecue
in honor of CLAY's election. They calcu-
lated that the hunt would last about three
weeks, and then ample time would be had
TO return home to receive the first news.
The deer were easily gotten, but history is
silent us TO the barbecue.n

IT appears now that the MoRrY letter
was well understood TO be in existence by
the democratic leaders some time before it
was made public and was regarded by
them rs n sort of Internal ma chine that
would demolish the republican cause when
exploded. The New York Tribune contains
n letter from correspondent which shows
clearly that the wise ones of the democratic
party were on the tip-toe of understandable
expectation and delight for some days be-
fore the forgery was sprung upon public
notice. This correspondent relates a con-
versntion held between himself and the
Hon. WALDO HuTcHINs, NJ. c., on the 18th
of October, regarding the MoREY letter, in
which Mr. HUTCHINs abrubtly observed,
"Wcll, guess we have got you now" "In
what way ?" was the inquiry. "Why, that
Chinese letter of GARFIEID's will raise the
deuce with him and lose him nearly every
northern state" The idea was ridiculed
that any letter, genuine or bogus, would
effect that result, but HUTCnINs responded
as he walked away, with an air that ex-
pressed great confidence, you'll see, you'll
seen Undoubtedly Mr.. HUTCHINs, who
has not been in the democratic party long
enough to fully understand the depths of
its rascality, was made to believe that the
letter was genuine.

THE Yicksburg Herald, after quoting
from General GAEFIELD's letter of accept
ance the paragraph flvoring the improve
ment of the Mississippi river, offers the fol-
lowing sensible advice to some of its es-
teemed cotemporaries
As soon as our bourbon friends cease de-
voting their powerful intelects to proving
that it is the best law in the world to dump
out ballots by the thousand we hope they
will tell the people they may consider this
doctrine so plainly put forth. AS we have al
ready very mildly expressed ourself about
fraud, buldozng, perjury, hypocrisy and
some few other kinds of political cussedness,
we can now say what VIC think of President
GARFIELD's ideas about the improvement OF
the national river. General GRANT split the
warlike solid south by coming down the Mis-.
sissippi river. General GARFIELD will split
the political solid south If he comes down the
Mississippi river.

or have suffered decrease, while many Of
the most populous towns in the state had
no existence when the constitution went
into effect. Hartford, for instance, has
$4,000 people and two representatives
Marlborough has 301 persons within its linn
its and also sends two representatives. The
small towns are rapidly decreasing in popu-
lation, while Hartford, New Haven, New
London and other cities show considerable

therefore, very reasonable.
THE Cincinnati Enquirer contains q char
acteristic assault from the pen of GEORGE
ALFRED TOWNSEND upon this paper and
its editor and we are far better pleased
than MS if he had spoken respectfully and
kindly of us. His abuse is more to be de-
sired than his nattery, inasmuch ns he is
known to be the most mendacious, un-
scrupulous and reckless of all the swash-
bucklers Of the press in this country. A
mere hireling without character or respon-
sibility, and mere scullion without cour-
age or manhood, he is simply tolerated rs
the measles is tolerated in n family until IL
can be expelled by peaceful and scientific
remedies. We beg pardon of the measles
mean as it is in the catalogue ofdsease--
for this comparison Once before while
confined to sick.room, the editor of THE
REPUBLICAN, then in official life, was the
object of TowNsrND's vitupcration and
mendacity, but when met personally and
called to account the vilifer skulked be-
hind the assurance that nothing was really
meant by his assault, and thus he was let
of. This repetition of his offense recalls to
mind conundrum, which runs thus
"Who are the three biggest liars and most
inaccurate writers on the American press ?"
TO this answer is made-"ELI PERKINS
is one and GEORGE ALFRED TOWNSEND is
the other tico."
TOWNSEND has contract to fill three or
four columns of the Cincinnati Enquirer
daily, and this accounts for the character of
his swash. 1t is only such as finds place
in the sewage Of iournalism-a profusion of
suriace-water and garbage. Nobody need
care for it any more than they would for
the wash ofthe gutter in spring time. Our
readers will pardon us for frying the black
guard Gath" in little of his own gravy.

Paw says that this fellow was out with him
at hunting party last summer and none OF
the party had any matches, and that Under

breathed upon them awhile, and set them on
fire, from which they built fire In the woods.
He seemed much exhausted last evening after
