MR.. GARFTELD'S ADMINS.
TRATION.


James A. Garfield. of Ohio took hii
seat as President of the United State,
on the 4th of March Unlike his pred
ecessor who has administered the af
fairs of the government for the past
four years, MIR. Garfield is not ombar
rassed at the outset Of his career by
fraud in his election. Whatever may
be said of the methods employed to Sc
cure his election no one will be found
to dispute the TACT that be received Q
majority Of the electoral votes of the
United States, and his title to the
office OF President cannot possibly ad
init Of any question. He has been
fairly and honestly chosen, aud as the
Chief Magistrate of the Nation is On.
titled to the respect of the people, at
least until he shall have forfeited it by
acts similar to those which have toe
often disgraced the administration Of
his predecessors elected by the Repub.
lican party. While it is true that the
record Of his election TO the high office
is not tarnlshed by frauds, yet his ca.
reer as representative in Congress is
not free from taints Of corruption
that cannot easily be forgotten. The
charges established by Republican
committee Of Congress placed Nv. Gar.

But in the face Of all this he was sup.

ALL the regular appropriation bills
have now been reported to the House
and passed by that body except the
Sundry Civil and De cheney billa which
nre in course Of preparation by the
Committee on Appropriations. and the
River and Harbor bills now under dis.
cussion in Committee OF the Whole. It
is the intention OF friends of the latter
bill TO endeavor 10 hold the House in
session untit direct vote upon It's pas
sage is reached; but to accomplish this
without permitting the message to be
overweighted with amendments will be
extremely difficult. The refusal Of the
House TO take M the Apportionment
bill Is believed by many observers to In
dicatc that it is quite certain no appor.
tionment measure will get through the
present Congress. but Representative
who has it in charge is confident that it
will be passed by the House this week.
and no considerable opposition is ap-
pretended in the Senate.

A LONDON special Of the 18th says: 1t
is now asserted that last nights rumor
Of the arrest Of Pnrnell. though not
founded in fact, is believed TO lave had
its origin in the announcement that
when the aims and purposes Of the Land
League were made public all its leading
members would probably be arrested;
end i: was also said that publicity would
soon DO given to sll the secrets Of the
League. In consequence of this, Lon
don is again agitated with the widest
rumors, aud even though in December
the expectation of bloody Christmas
was happily disappointed, the prophets
are again predicting an active and san.
culinary conflict. Tie story now current
is that the government has intercepted
Land League correspondence and
opened many Of its letters. In political
circles there Is intense excitement, and
it is freely asserted that schemes fraught
with danger to the peace OF the country
nave been discovered. most import
ant document is said to have been found
in posse ession Of Michael Dayitt, just
before his arrest. and which is now said
led to the cancellation Of his ticket.of.
leave and subsequent commitment to
Portland Prison. This document. &C.
coraing to rumor. criminates some Of
the most prominent persons in the
present agitation. pnd politicians say
that Parneli exhibits his sense of its
Importance to tho Government by re-
manning in Paris. where he is to be
entertained by billions to.morruw. A
meeting'of leaders OF the League will
be held in that city next Monday, after
which it is understood, Pirnell will

States.
