Judge Poland Upon Gen. Garfield.

OF all the testimony from political
friends and foes to the character Of Gen.
Garfield--and it is universally an en-
preston of the highest admiration and
confdence-none is more emphatic than
that of Judge Poland, the Chairman of
the Credit Mobilier Committee, who re-
Gently addressed the following letter to
the President Of the Vermont Repub-
lican State Convention
Or. JoHSsBURY, VT, June 20, 1880.
To tho President Of the Convention:
SrR-l was chosen delegate to the canyen-
ton by the Republicans of this town, and
hoped to DC abla to attend, but tho unexpected
prolongation OF the court In this caunty pre-
vents. greatly regret my inability to DO pres,
ent. am not ut all anxious to participate III the
selection OF q State ticket. The Republicans
OF Vermont can always DO safely trusted to
nominate good men. only desired to have an
opportunity to express to the convention aud to
Republicans everywhere my entire approval OF
the nominations made at Chicago. Probably
10 man in Vermont knows Gen. Garfield more
intimately than myself. He was III Congress
during the whole ten years Of my service.
and for eight years We stood together IN the
House, and over on terms OF friendship and ID
Imacy. VI Ills eminent aDility, power III oo
bate, and untiring devotion to public service
need not speak. His long service and leading
position In Congress have made him known to
all the people OF tho country who take any IN
forest in public affairs. But our political OPP
ponents affect to question bis personal integ-
rity and purity OF character, and TO base their
accllsatioa upon the evidence taken before q
committee of Congress- of which was CHAIR
man, known as the Credit Mobilier Committee.
Now desire to say to the convention, and TO
all who may feel any interest in my opinion OF
Gen. Garfield, that nothing which appeared
before that committee, or which appears ia
their report, or any other matter or thing which
over came TO my knowledge in regard to him,
ever led me to doubt his personal integrity. !
believe him to be thoroughly upright and
honest man, and who would be so under all
circumstances and against any temptation:
Tho pse that " being made OF my name, and
of the report OF the committed, which was
drawn by me, In my opinion makes 1t proper for
mo 10 express my personal judgment % to ths
character Of the man. ask you to do mo the

Beds and mattresses piled on each other accu-
mulate heat hold fixed air, and make the sleep

together too much lumber about many of our
bedstcads. They ill up the room, perhaps at
best too limited i'll space, and prevent the free
circulation of air. A bed III summer needs
plenty Of air under IN Well as over il. This air

way. In the British house of lords one arch
bishop and eleven bishops voted against the bill

marriages as a relic of bigotry, suggest the
formation OF society with the express view OF

great experience among the starving iiindOos
in the Madras famine has studied the effects of
starvation upon both plants and animals az well
al human beings, and traces complete similar

tissues. This degeneration in the case Of alIi-
mails and men is most noticeable in the cells
lining the digestive canal. In the sufficiently
starved man these cells. upon which depend
the assimilation Of nutriment, are completely
swept away, and thereafter the taking Of food

A system of fostering and protect

about the result that one person out Of
five or six cannot read or write should
be subjected to close scrutiny before
more extended field for its labors be

ignorance and Democracy il found too
often to admit of its Interpretation as an
accident of nature. The connection be-

admits of formulation.
Rule to find Democratic majority
In State where one person out Of six
or less cannot read or write, divide the
whole number Of those who cannot read
