More About Garfield. Horse.

There is an additional short chapter in
the history of General Gariield's war horse. 1t was
the Generals habit while at the front, to visit aud
Caress This hosc-the last act every night before
final retirement. However mtigued aud what
ever his engagement, the last thing was this visit
which seemtd TO carry him back TO home life
and love. When he approached the noble animal
for this leave taking lie always held down his
head, greeting his master with II low whinny.
The General took his head In half embrace and
petted and caressed him for half minute. When
he LEFT the service he was obliged 10 sell his
charger; was too poor TO keep him aud lie parted
from him with Il lasting regret. Five yeats after
ward, while In Painesville "a large Northern Ohio
town one day u gentleman drove u fine looking
horse in buggy on to one of the streets and tied
him at a distance from the General, but who i'm
mediately recognized In him his old comrade. lie
went at once toward him. On his approach the
horse knew and greeted him with tender, low
whinny, as in the old heroic days aud held his
head down for the Generals carcss, and gave every
sign Of pleasure at the meeting This was asI think,
their last meeting OF course some one knows
what became of the horse Every animal on the
Mentor farm come to know the master. lie had
names for them all, and not one Of them but would
at once approach him for Il caress. Everything
| that knew him loved him.

70 hear him, the Stalwarts everywhere
became intensely earnest and energetic,
the business houses of New York and
the great manufacturing interests came
into hearty cooperation through Gem
eral Arthur's influence and exhorta-
tation, and what had been q weak,
defensive, and hopeless struggle became
an aggressive campaign and resistless
uprising of the people. 1t is ridiculous to
attribute the result to any causes other
than those we have just recalled to the
readers mind. We have but referred to
well-known history. The generalship of
Arthur and the devotion of the Stalwarts
to General Grant, General Artl"" and
Senator Conkling made victory p,...ble.
The last on the ticket was the
first in the command during Septem-
ber and October. His accession to
the Presidency by the mandate of the
people and of the Constitution upon the
death of the President clothes him with
all the powers and imposes upon him all
the duties of the great Office. He was
not dragged in with the President. On
the contrary, but for him General Gar
field never would have been elected
President.
SO much is due to truth. The utmost
loyalty to the late President does not call
for any abatement of it or any hesitation
to utter IL when sickly shams and absurd
falsehoods are poisoning the political at.

The article in this paper yesterday rel
ative to punched or damaged coins has surprised
our citizens, who have been much annoyed at the
frequent refusal OF dealers to receive coins with
very large holes IN them.' As shown in our
paragraph, II is n criminal oncnsc to punch hole
In any one Of the United States coins, thereby
lesscning the weight Of the metal. Morally
If not strictly In a legal sense, It follows that
the person who receives and pays out such
mutllated coin becomes pdrticcps criminis to the
crime which is committed by the one who him
self punches the hole in the coin. And the
latter, on conviction of that act, can be imprisoned
iu the pentcntiary and fined in the sum of $1,000.

The New York Tribune and the class it

endeavoring to use his name after death

delegates, and will at the State conven-
ton on Wednesday claim the loaves and

During the late Presidents illness there
was no distinction among Republicans in
the matter of sympathy for his sufierings,
nor since his death has there been any
distinction between them rs to the honor
and respect which should be shown him.
The antagonisms which preceded the I'd
of July, when the President had health
and power and had his opponents at great
disadvantage, have since that day been
ignored by all decent people, and only the
basest of men have been willing to use a
dead President as makeweight in q

self-styled Garfield Republicans are po-

ravenous appetites. Their performances
are scandal to the country and to the

the tomb of the President they pretend
to lament, in order to bring his name to
