/ think the Republicans made mistake, and
several Democratic senators say they will, II
| they can get an opportunity, call public at
| tention to the vote of the Republicans, and
maintain that it was done to suppress the
| facts. The Democrats intend to make capital
out of it if they can. When the report comes
in another motion calling for testimony will
be made by the Democrats, and this, they say,
will give them an opportunity to discuss the
matter. 1t is said that the assistant secretary
will accompany the report with written de-
fense of himself when it goes to the senate.

ONE OF MRS. GARFIELD's WISHES.
Col Rockwell has received the folio wing
letter from Mrs. Garfield:
MENTOR, O., Oct. 17.-Dear Col. Rockwell:
1t is my wish that an account of the life and
an appropriate collection of the literary re-
marks of General Garfield shall be published
after that careful consideration and prepara-
tion so manifestly necessary to that end. I
request you will announce in some public
manner my purpose to cause this
work to be done at the earliest practicable
time, and of which due notice will be given.
Very sincerely yours,
LUCRETIA r. GARFIELD.
With reference to the foregoing, Col. Rock.
well makes the following statement: to those
best acquainted with the great capacity for
work and vast versatility of Gen. Garfield, the
extent nicely and orderly arrangement of his
intellectual state are amazing. Fully appre-
ciating the value and believing the most en-
during monument of the late president must
be erected upon the granite foundation of
what he said and did and was, Mrs. Garfield
purposes an affectionate and careful work in
this direction. Such monument therefore
illustrating life which cannot be written un-
til the world has moved far enough away
from him to take in the grandeur of his char
acter, may be expected only after measured
and deliberate work and as coming from her
sanction and authority.
