Before Election.

When General Garfield FASTENED to
Washington last summer, soon after his
nomination, to arrange his "private
papers" he eagerly sought Senator Conk-
ling. The treachery and corruption by
which the majority in the Chicago Con-
vention had been reversed had created a
sense of injury and feeling of profound
disgust in the minds of those who had
been thus practiced upon. The victors
seemed to fear each bush an officer. That
the Stalwarts would waive the irregu-
larities at Chicago and acquiesce in the
nomination no man doubted General
Garfield had no fears on that score. But
it was important that wounded
enemies, acting from a sense of
party obligation, should become
hearty friends and enthusiastic in
the campaign. Candidate Garfield knew
that all through the ranks of the
Stalwart wing of the party there was a
distrust of him which must be overcome
or defeat was certain. As the hart
panteth after the water-brook so painted
he for the great leader whose slightest
word would dispel the gloom and give
heart to the men behind him. He called
on the Senator, but did not see him alone
The Senator returned the call and the
candidate was not in. He was riding
with Carl SchurZ. Further eff
forts were made for meeting,
but without success. This fever
ish desire of the presidential can
didate to make an opportunity to give
promises which the New York Senator
had not asked is meanly perverted by
some into evidence that "Conkling was
sulking in his teat" His tent was
not occupied by him when the proper
lime arrived for him TO take the field.
He had no interview which censorious
people could misconstrue or a defective
memory cause to be misreported. He did
not put price upon his party feaIty;
that had never been with him subject
of barter. He eluded the candidates
pursuit and took no part i'll the gift en-
terprise the prizes in which are now being
distributed This did not prevent the
eminentIy practical nominee for the
Presidency from protesting his love. To
the vice presidential nominee, General
Arthur, TO Mr.. Platt, and to others known
by him to be intimate associates
of the Senator he voluntarily de-
clared with great earnestness and
particularly that should he be elected
he would always consult with the Sena-
tors and with the Republican State Com
mittee in reference to New York matters,
and no action should at any time be
taken which would be disagreeable to
them. On the day of the Warren meet
ing General Grant, Mr.. Conkling, and ex-
Senator Simon Cameron paid a visit Of
compliment to Mentor, that being the
first meeting of the Senator and the to-
be-President after the Chicago Conven-
ton. There was no private conversation
between them then, nor at any other
time prior TO the election. There was no
treaty at Mentor" In brief, there never
was at any time either sulking or bar
gaining by Mr. Conking. lie did what
the party expected of him. He grandly
led in campaign for the Republican
cause, and on the stump aided greatly to
make the people forget the shortcomings
of the candidate in the grandeur Of the
cause.

"The truth is" continued Mr.. Davis,
"that Sherman is a vain man, who has been
ruined by success and fattery, and is possessed
of chronic hallucination that he is great gen
eral He is really man of very mediocre talents
either civil or military, and owed his success
entirely to superior numbers and the lack of enter
prise on the part of his antagonist who either
could or would 10 nothing but retreat, seeming
anxious to be called the Fabius of the civil war
Had Stonewall Jackson confronted Sherman in
1864. instead of Joe Johnston a different tale
would have been told in my book. That incom-
parable body Of infantry he led, rapid of march
to have earned the title of foot cavalry would
soon have brought Sherman's marches to an in
glorious end. His So called march to the sea- so
much lauded,' was really the most absurd of
military manoeuvres ever undertaken in ali the
tide of time. It was right in the teeth of all the
rules of WAR; and but for the fact the confederacy
was then in its death agonies, must have resulted
in the irretrievable ruin of Sherman's whole army
That his band of bummers,' which was virtually
an organized gang of plunderers, was not de-
stroyed or captured was not due to any general
ship OF Sherman, but the folly of the hot-headed
Hood, who instead of falling back before Sher-
man, went reeling off into Tennessee like mad
cap on the widest of wild-goose chases. FROM

The New York Senatorial vacancies.


Senators Conkling and Platt having
rendered their designations what will be the result
in of failure to elect others in their places?
Do they not return to the Senate? The Governor,
believe, did nos accept their designations but
transmitted thento the Legislature for its action
1t seems to me from the present outlook at Albany
they will be fouGd in their old places again in De-
cember next. A giant viii be gone from the Sen
ate when Conkling's voice is heard no more in
that body. J. G.
1.-The designations of the New York Senators were
final and complete upon being received by the
Governor. It is not optional with a Governor to
accept or decline such designations. Ifthere could
be doubt on this subject it would be removed
by the fact that the Legislature has recognized
cancies by balloting for successors. New York can
only be represented in the Senate by the election
Of new Senators by the Legislature or by appoint
nlent of the Governor in vacancies exist during
recess of Legislature. In the latter the Sena
tors would only hold until the Legislature should
elect-ED. REPUB.l

OF all unsuccessful men, in every
sense, either divine or human or devilish,
there is none equal to Bunyan's Mr..
Facing-both-ways-t fellow with one
eye on heaven and one on earth-who sin
cerely breaches one thing and sincerely
does another, and from the intensity of
his uRreeliSy is unable either to see or
feel the contradiction. Serving God
with his lips and with the half Of his
mind which isnot bound up in the world,
and serving the devil with his actions
and with the other half, he is substan-
TALLY trying to cheat both God and the
devil, and is, in fact, only cheating him
self and his neighbors. This, of all char
acters upon the earth, appears to Us to be
one of whom there is no hope at ala
character becoming in these days alarm
