From the N. Y. Sun.
Tue eminent lawyer who, according
to the Springfield Republican, has been
"hlred" by the Nation TO examine Mr..
Garfield's record with view Of acquit-
ting him for election purposes, does not
appear to the best advantage in his
scheme of defence. In regard to the
De Golyer case, the public mind can
not be confused or diverted from the
main point, the five-thoasand-dollar
bribe, by uncandid and conflicting
statements. Take the following illus
trations from the Nation's labored de-
fence of the Republican candidate:
"He [PARsoNs] asked Gen. GARFILD
to take his place as attorney to argue the
merits of the DE GoLYER patent. As
above shown, there was nothing else to
argue. He [GARFIELDl examined the
various patents and made his presenta-
ton of the case to the Board, and was
paid for 1t, and there his relations to the
subject ended"
And little further on the eminent
counsel for Gen. Garfield says:
"Gen. Garfield has been severely
assailed, too, because he made no for
NAL argument before the Board as a
whole, and the inference has been
drawn from this that he knew he did
not render full service for his fee. But
an oral argument would hardly have
added anything to the value of his
brief, and, having made the brief, We
think he was fully justified by forensic
custom, in thinking that he had done
enough"
The Nation first alleges that Gar
field "made his presentation of the
case to the Board and was paid for it."
and then asserts that che made no
formal argument before the Board was
a whole" He either did or did not
appear before the Board to make an
argument" or presentation" The
Nation must choose between its own
contradictions. But, says our contem-
porary, can oral argument would
hardly have added anything to the
value of his brief and, having made
the 5rief, he was justified in thinking
he had done enough"
This mysterious brief figures in all
the lame defences of the bribed Con-
gressman. Where is it2 Who ever
saw it Upon what proof does the
Nation assume that he made brief
1t is distinctly alleged as fact, and
most material fact, too, in the social
ed "case," without particle of evil
dence that it ever existed, except IN
the imagination of the man who tried
to cover his bribe under that sham.-
And even he himself, when cornered
and threatened with an exposure of
bald perjury, had to beat hasty re-
treat from his own sworn declarations.

THE GARBAGE CONTRACTS,

City Council, last night, passed an
ordinance in relation to the removal
of garbage. providing that no one con-
tractor shall be awarded contract for
more than one Of the four districts in
to which the city is divided. This
plan, it is hoped, will secure better
garbage service, and enable complaints
to be attended to more promptly. The
ordinance will be found in the adver-
tising columns of to-day's paper.

THE discussion Of Garfeld's case, as
it appears IN court growing out of his
votes in Congress, and his acts upon a
Congressional committee should not be
regarded as offensive to those who
nominated him for the Presidency.
To call fair and impartial statements
of facts "dirt fiinging'' is only another
way of hiding reference to acts that
Garfeld's supporters are ashamed to
have examined.

Chicago has obtained its wish for half
a million of population, bat not "by
large majority" the census returns show
ing population less than two thousand
in excess of the half million. The pop
ulation in 1870 was 29s,377, so that ihe
increase has been at the rate of nearly
seventy per cent. The Growth was al
the rate of two hundred and seventy
pei cent. during the decade from 1860 20
1860, and of over one hundred and sixty
per cent. in the next ten years. ST
Louis which was the fourth city of the
Union in 1870, will have to give way
now to Chicago, which was then the
fifth.

The CURRENCY.-Nearly two years
ago question arose as to the currency,
and among the various schemes proposed
was one put forward by the bankers
aud brokers under the lead of John
Sherman, Secretary of the Treasur, 10
continue the demonetlzation of silver
and depend upon single gold standard
for legal money. This idea was at once
opposed by tho Democratic majority Of
the House of Representatives, Which
amid the most violent and intemperase
abuse by the organs of the monopolists
and corporations, maintained that the
old standards of gold and silver for legal
money should be sustained in the future
as In the past. The whole scheme was
to saddle the people with heavier weight
of interest, make them pay so much
more to the bond holders, and depress
property of all kinds by taking away
one Of the legal standards of coined
money to buy with. The GAZETTE
took open ground in favor OF gold and
silver as soon as the question arose, and
maintained it firmly until the meeting
of the Democratic State Convention at
Dover. That Convention adopted a
platform entirely in conformity with that
which the GAZETTE advocated. In all
the time since then not a single S ate
Convention of either party has adopted
a resolution IN a platform in favor of
a single gold standard; while nearly
every Democratic State Convention has
adopted currency plank, similar to that
adopted by the Democracy of Delaware
at Dover; and finally the National
Democratic Convention at Cincinnati
also adopted in few words the old Demo-
cratic plank, gold aud silver as legal
tender money with notes convertible
into coin at the option of the holder.
John Sherman's single gold standard
sent him to the rear even in his owl
State. Could any one suppose that only
little more than year ago the Demo
cratic gentlemen in the House of Repre-
sentatives who voted for gold and sllve
as currency were called "knaves ant
fools" and Democratic Senators econ
summate fools ?" Yet thus it is.

An authority on horsemauship says
that is folly for lady to put herself
into stays so tight that her figure is
not flexible while she is on horseback.
A stuffed doll, he says, should never
be put ON a horse, nor any woman
who is not so loosely dressed that she
can lace her own boots and put up her
own hack hair. While the lady is on
horseback the circulation of her blood
should never be impeded.
