Literary Monument TO General Garfield.
WASHINGTON, October 21st. = Colonel
Rockwell has received the following letter
| from Mrs. Garfield:
MENTOR (o.), October II, 1881.
| Dear Colonel Rockwell: 1t is my wish that the
literary "reminiscences OF General Garfield shall be
published, after that careful consideration and prep
araton so manifestly necessary. To that end, re-
quest that you will announce in some public man
my purp Sc to cause this work to be done at the
earliest pr cticable time, and of which due notice
will be given Very sincerely yours,
LUCRkTIA r. GARFIELD.
With reference to the foregoing. Colonel
| Rockwell makes the following statement
/ To those not acquainted with the great
character for work and the vast versatility
of General Garfield, the extent, variety and
orderly arrangements of his intellectual
slate are amazing. Fully apDreeiating its
value, and believing that the most enduring
monument of the late President must be
erected upon the granite foundation of what
| he said and did, Mrs Garfield purposes an
affectionste and careful work in this direc-
tion. Such a monument, therefore, illustrat-
| ing life which cannot be written since the
world has moved far enough away from him
TO take in the grandeur OF his character, may
| be expected only after mature and deliberate
work, and as coming from her sanction and
authority.

The Question of Jurisdiction.
n NJ
is very general here that Judge Cox will de-
eide that he has no jurisdiction. Richard I.
| hlerriek, who viii argue this point for Sco-
| vile, is qnite sure that there is no jurisdic-
| ton, and says the Circuit Court of the
| District has decided in that way in two SINH
lar cases. Merrick also remarked that he
could not see how Judge Cox, rs it has been
stated he had intended TO do, could have the
| question of jurisdiction disposed Of before
the trial of the case commenced. For,"
said he, the prisoner has pleaded not guilty,
SIS he had perfect right to do, and [ cannot
see how the Judge can require him 10 change
! the issue thus made. 1t was mistake to
a,raign the prisoner if the Judge was in
doubt as to his jurisdiction.
