A FRANCISCO, Oct. 20.-The Call will
tomorrow publish an interview with Cen.
hosecrahs with regard to a telegram from
tne east winch charges that the sign allure to
Inc hlorey letter was copied from a letter
written by Gen. Garfield to Gen, .Rosecrans
Ill 1000, winch letter is now claimed to he in
the possession of certain parties in the east,
keporter-General, can YOU give any ex
PLANTATION of the manner in which this story
originated?
Gen. Rosecrans-No, sir, I cannot. It
was evidently manufactured out of whole
cloth. Some explanation had to be offered.
and they probably selected me as the best
scape goat from the fact that l was 80 far
away. and probably because | have been
friendly to Garfield.
Reporter-Then there is no foundation to
the story that you sent the letter to parties i in
the east.
Nc, sir. The whole charge is absurd and
w'iiulIy false. never sent any such letter
and l pronounce the story an Infamous lie,
Reporter-Do you notice that that telegram
insinuates that you knowingly lent your aid
to the scheme of forgery.
Yes, sir. l can't express my contempt for
men who would stoop so low. 1t is an infa-
nous outrage, and | want to say lust one
word about that foolish little fudge-fudge
speech which Garfield recently delivered a.
Mentor: l never yet have attacked Garfield,
hat l do now, and 1 pronounce him a fraud
all unmitigated fraud.
The General throughout the interview la
bored under great excitement, his vehemenct
causing him to tremble violently. He de
nounced all the parties connected with thu
charge of his completely i'll unmeasuret
terms.

Remember that every person, however low,
has rights and feeling. In all contentious,
let peace be rather your object than triumph;
value triumph only as the means of peace.
Remember that your children, your wife,
and your servants have rights and feelings,
treat them as you would treat persons who
could return them again. Apply these doc
trines to the administration of justice as a
magistrate. Rank poisons make good medi-
ciues error and misfortune may be turned
into wisdom and improvement.
Do not attempt to frighten children and
interiors by FASHION it does more harm to
YOUR own character than it does good to
them the same thing is better done by firm
ness and precaution ~-rs
If you desire the common people to treat
you as a gentleman, you must conduct your
self as a gentleman should do to them.
When you meet with neglect, let it rouse
you to exertion, instead of notifying your
pride. Set about lessening those defects
which expose you to neglect, and improve
those excellences which command attention
and respect.
Against general fears, remember how very
precarious life is, take what care you will ;
how short it is, last as long as it ever does.
Rise early in the morning, not only to avoid
s~elf-reproach, but to make the most of the
little life that remains not only to save the
lost in sleep, but to avoid that languor which
is spread ever mind and body for the whole
of that day in which you have lain late in
bed.
Passion gets less and less powerful after
every defeat. Husband energy for the real
demand which the dangers of life make upon
it.
Find fault when you must find fault, ir
private, if possible; and some time after the
offense, rather than at the time. The blamed
are less inclined to resist when they are
blamed without witnesses; both parties ar,
calmer; and the accused party is struck with
the forbearance of the accuser, who has seer
the fault, and watched for a private ant

His spirit thirsted still.

Long love for him confessed.

Looked ever on before,

In view of the troubles and complications
which may arise between settlers on odd
numbered sections of railroad lands and the
company owning them, to which reference is
elsewhere made, would it not be as well for
all Of our people to cast a solid vote for Ma
ir Maginnis for delegate to congress. Con-
ercssional legislation may be needed to
evolve order out of chaos, or protect the
rights of our hard working ranclmen and
stock men from the oppression of grssping
monopolics. Mr.. Maeinnis' thorough &C
quaintance with the whole matter plainly
points to linn as the man the better fitted to
attend to our wants or redress our grievances
in the matter referred to. No new man., li.-
acquainted with the FERNS of congressional
legislation, and whose associates at Washing
ton would be strangers to him, can adapt
himself to the requirements OF his position i'll
time to attract the attention or enlist the
sympathies of those to whom we must look
for aid and protection should such become
necessary. The situation demands the seri-
Gus consideration Of all who have an interest
or an abiding place in our territory. What
ever effects our fai ming communities affects
the people of Montana. This may prove to
he the first step IN q long and tedious war be-
tween the settlers and the company, which
Major Maginnis may avert. His known
energy of character, his elcquence and inau'
ence at Washington, which have been in the
past so successfully exerted in our behalf, are
sufficient guarantees that he is the right man
to whom the people of Montana can intru:
this delicate and important matter. We can

Jerseys aud LeghOrns.

The Leghorns are among fowls what the
Jerseys are among cows small, but built for
bu siness. Much of the logic that applies to
the former will equally fit the case of the
latter. Here is what the New York Herald
says about Jerseys for profit:
tsMuch has been said in d~ispraise of the
Jersey COW, because of its comparatively
small value for beef when too old for the
diary, Mr.. n. G. Abbott in a letter to the
Nev England Farmer, settles the question
quite satisfactorily in favor of the Jerseys.
Mr.. Abbott says: Much has been said in re-
gard to the Jersey COW, as being two small
for beet after becoming too old for milk.
Now. let us look at the figures in the matter
and see what the real facts are in the case.
The majority of farmers in looking at a New
Jersey COW will say. TOO small for all pur-
poses for lis farmers we want something
that will make oxen and beef, and when u
COW is too old to milk we want something
that will make good beef end a lot of it we
want none of your dear meat l think this
is a mistaken idea that farmers have fallen
into without looking into the question at all.
Now for the figures. All average Jersey COW

us take the average native or common COW,

authority | can find, together with my own
experience, she will, in one year, make l3u

NEW YORK, Dec 6, 1880.
Brockway, the famous counterfeiter,
has been released, surely disgraceful
miscarriage of justice. He has given
up some of the long-sought for plates
for printing bogus bills and bonds, and
some information about his confederates,
but he is free to rob the community once
again, and he we'll knows how to put
his freedom to account. He spent his
Thanksgiving trotting detectives around
to out of the way corners of meadows
and woods where they unearthed some
of the proceeds of his ingenuity care
fully soldered up in lead pipe to await
resurrection and distribution. No one
believes that he has given up all his
tools, or that it would much matter to
him if he had, for he could easily enough
supply himself afresh. So it is sup
posed the officials have had strong in
ducements to let him 60.
