On Monday morning the daily papers

On Monday morning the daily papers
published a long and very able letter
from Samuel J. Tilden to the New
York delegation withdrawing from the
Presidential contest, in which he very
fully reviews the situation and refers
in fitting terms to his services to his
state and the country, and to the great
outrage on the people and republican
government in the Presidential theft
of 1867. He does not therein suggest
any preference among the other gen.
tlemen named for the nomination.
The great length of the letter pre-
cludes our publishing it in this issue.

THE charges against General Gar
field did not originate with the Demo-
cratic party; they were made in 1873
by Republicans themselves, who fur
nished the proof to substantiate them !;
and all the leading Republican papers
of the country declared that they were
so fully proven and of such damaging
character as to be utterly indefensible.

THE worshippers of Gen. Garfield
are constantly harping about his great
ability. Now let them point TO one
single great measure of national i'm
pOrtance, a single bill or theory which
he has brought forward, or which
owes it's adoption in any degree to his
efforts or support. A Republican
writer few years ago, who had be.
come utterly disgusted with his course
and with the toadying to him said OF
him: "The truth IL, he is a dreamer
and an advocate. only of visionary and
impracticable schemes, that have failed
of adoption and produced nc, good OF
great results" And there is more
truth than poetry in the expression.

steal: .-..., .s...,. ,s1l5a --.
Mr.. Farnsworth, of Illinois, said ;
|" 1 desire 10 place upon record my
earnest protest against the adoption OF
the conference report, and if possible
to awaken the House aud the country
to what it invOlves-that within less
than twelve hours of the close of this
Congress we are gravely proposing 10

dents salary, and to increase the sal.
aries of nearly all the attaches of this
house and of other officials of the Coy
ernment who now receive high sal
aries. t.- ,-'''i - f..f- -ii-s
"Sir, appeal, if not to the man
hood of Congress to the sense, OF
justice of members of this HOUSE net
to adopt this report. 1t is disgraceful
and will greatly help to render this
Congress infamous, already without
the confidence of the people. Let us
have the manhood and decency TO
stamp upon the scheme for raising
our own salaries aud purchasing favors
of q President by increasing his. In
clear violation of the spirit If not the
letter of the Constitution"
What is said in the above extract is
emphstically true and should be re-
membered by the people. Had Gar
field uttered one such earnest, ringing
sentence in opposition to the wholesale
pluuder he would have defeated it.
But he did not do it. He signed the
report of the Conference Committee,
urged its passage and voted for the
bill, and when asked by Mr.. Hibbard
s.how much plunder would be taken
from the Treasury" by it's adoption,
he declared that he did mot accept
the gentleman's statement as to that it
may be an unwise expenditure in some
respects, but in MOST cases the increase
IS proper and ought to be made. It's
not plunder, unless gentlemen here
consider themselves not deserving the
pay. Thereby In eject approving
the plumber scheme.
This grabbing scheme was attached
to an appropriation bill as rider, a
practice in regard to. which Mr.. Gar
field and his political associates have
of late expressed such holy horror, and
his chief apology for supporting it
was that he did so to save the appro-
priation bill and save an extra session
of Congress, though there were twen-
ty hours elapsed after the report was
agreed to before the session closed, in
which time another committee could
have been appointed and the great
plumber stricken therefrom.
