QuarreIs of Factions,
New York, Feb. GA special dispatch
from Mentor, Ohio, to the Tribune says: A
state senator from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania,
is here to-day, accompanied by several prom
inent citizens of Cleveland. General Gar.
field, in conversation with one Of his Wis.
itors, said that he did not propose to become
involved in the quarre's of fac

republicans out Of Office merely becsuse they
are doing we'll and Others want their places
10 gentleman who csms here TO repre-.
sent the interests of Dakota, General Gar.
field expressed great solicitude for tho wise
administration of territorial affairs, and as
sured the gentleman that he would exercise
care in making official appointments in
which the people Of the territories
may be interested. His attention
was particularly called 70 the
excellent school system which has been es>
tablished in Dakota and its munifcent en-
dowment. Two sections of lsbd In every
township arc set apart for the benefit of the
school fund, and if the great resources thus
provided shall be honestly and wisely cared
for, the future state of Dakota will have
abundant means for popular education.
Gentlemen from the northwest, whose off.
cal position and high character give their
recommendations much weight, urge the sp.
pointment Of James f. Wilson, of Iowa, as
secretary of the interior.
Friends of Judge Walter Q. Gresham, of
Indiana, who have been here lately, express
much confidence that no will be General
Garheld's choice for encouragement. Many
persons who have spoken to General Garfield
in regard TO the belief that Senator Blaine is
to be the secretary of state have all gone
away under the impression that there is no
room for doubt on that point.
Professor 0. @. Hill, Of Missouri, who is
said to be the coming private secretary of
General Garfield, was here recently. lie a

otherwise there was no indications tia. sny

THE Senate convened in special ses-
sion on the fourth of March pursuant
to the proclamation of the President,
for special purpose, to act on Execu-
tive appointments and pending treat
les. From the first day of its conven-
ing to the present time the Democratic
Senators have been willing and anx-
ious to take up the business for which
they were called together, and they
have voted to do 50 two or three times
a day every day the Senate has been
in session, while the Republicans have
as constantly and persistently opposed
doing SO till they have consummated
the corrupt bargain made with the
rebel brigadier who controls the repu-
diation faction of the State of Virginia.
And yet the Radical leaders, with bra
zen impudence, assert that it is the
Democrats who prevent the transaction
of the important and necessary busi-
ness for which the Senate was con-
vened. The people cannot be long
deceived by such shallow pretense.
They cannot fail to understand that
that important work can as well be
done with the present minor officers
in the Senate as with the pets of Ma
hone and the Radical party.

The Radical Bawl.

Could anything be more supremely
ridiculous than the bawl set up by the
Radical leaders that the action of the
Democratic Senators in preventing the
corrupt bargain with the rebel briga-
dier and repudiator, Malone, by which
they sought to obtain complete control
of the Senate, is revolutionary and
reasonable ?" And yet grave Senators
have the effrontery to rise in their
places in that august body and pro-
claim the silly charge, and the entire
herd of Radical bovines 60 raving
about the country reiterating it. Trea-
son is defined to be the levying of war
on the United States or giving aid and
comfort to its enemies, and the action
of the Democratic Senators hardly
comes up to that definition unless the
ridiculous assumption that the rebel
brigadier and repudiator, Malone, and
his Radical confederates constitute the
Government. In the recent discussion
of the subject between Senator Brown
and Senator Hoar, who was the au-
thor of the nOnsensical charge, Sena-
tor Brown showed the downright hy-
pocrisy of the virtuous pretenss. He
said:
When it is necessary to accomplish
an object that the Republican party
has in view end desires to accomplish
! it is no treason to fillibuster, to refuse
| to vote, or do anything you choose to
prevent action but if the Democrats
have an object to accomplish and they
| fillibuster or refuse to vote, then it il
| revolutionary and reasonable. In my
statement here I did not go beyond
this session, while the Senator and his
party filibustered to the end absolutely
prevented action until it fell by the
expiration Of the forty-sixth Congress.
We have not done that. We do not
propose to do it. This Congress will
last for two years. We have only pro-
posed to stay here until the first OF
december next, rather than you shall
do this great wrong which you are
now attempting to do. That Is not so
revolutionary or reasonable as what
you did, for we will still leave you
time during this Congress to do it but
you did not leave me time to do it, you
prevented the action absolutely and 1t
fell with the Congress, where 1t sxpir-
ed on account of the distractions that
you threw in the way. Therefore we
do not propose rev olution or treason,
according to your theory. But you
have been guilty of it if your theory Is
correct. / say, however, that it is not
correct.
