"Mozis, stcrnly, Ny children, Madam,

Mozis, sternly, say you can and you

GARFIELD's ALLEGED LETTER.

If President Garfield ever wrote such
letter as ia ascribed to him, concerning the
Conkling affair, both he and his friends
will have abundant cause to regret it. The
weakness of the argument of the alleged
letter consists in the fact that it is calcu-
lated to damage the friends of the Admin
istration without bringing about any recon-
Citation with its enemies. Ii Mr.. Garfield
thinks that he has no cause of quarrel with
Conkling, it is very certain that Conkling
holds an entirely different opinion on the
subject If Mr.. Garfield believes that the
reelection of Conkling, after what has
passed, would heal the breach in the party,
or make the New York gentleman the
friend of the Administration, he is more
credulous than probably any other man in
the country. The apparent trouble with the
Pres dent is that he cannot make up his
mind which course he shall take. But
II he means or expects to succeed
it is very certain that he must make his
choice quickly. be must either abandon
all idea of asserting himself, and let Conk-
ling have his own way, or he must make
up his mind to fight with all his strength
for the maintenance of his position. There
is no halfway course admissible. Conk-
ling cannot be beaten or controlled by soft
words. He has made it abundantly plain
that nothing will satisfy him but the vir-
tual abdication of the President. To
reconcile him to subordination and Sec
ondafy position is hopeless. His SELL
conceit is so gross and inordinate that he
thinks the country owes him worship al
most. With such an antagonist half
and. half policy must be the worst imagin-
able. We therefore hope that the letter
alleged to have been written by General
Garfield is forgery-in fact merely a
"weak invention Of the enemy"
