The breach between the two factions
Of the Republican party is evidently
growing wider. 1t is not often that SO
violent an article is found in a repecla-
BILE newspaper as the following from the
Philadelphia Telegraph, of yesterday. II

TIE FIGHT OVER GARFIELD's GRAVE.
The old fight of last spring ard sum-
mer OF The StalWart Republican hosts,
which was then cOurageously waged
against living man, strong and brave to
strike back, is now being waged in
manner cowardly aud brutal oyer the
grave of James A. Carried. Before com
menciug this cruel and nuslllanimous
warfare upon man who is wholly de.
fenseless, bis old enemies might have
waited, at least, until The grass bad once
grown green above his grave, or until
| camp and VIII, shouting their battle cry,
shot to death the country's Chief Magis-
| Lrate, had been disposed Of. The Stall
warts are political faction, recognizing
only that the control of the spoils OF
Office is the Chief object OF pursuit or
possession, and that the Government is
not for the people as a whole, but for a
combination Of political "B 1sses.n They
scarcely assume TO be considered states
men by their countrymen; they want
power, and having that alone, are con-
tent. They woD, by virtue of GuiLeau's
murderous act, ths means OF power, but
in view of the affection aud respect
which they know the country enter
tainek for President Garfield, they are
afraid 10 use the means at their disposal,
lest popular indignation should over
whelm them.
To iguore the general love and res
pect felt for Garfield they dare not, So
they are now making the attempt &c
destroy the popular feeling regarding
J him by assaults upon him which are a,
shameless as the record of bis whole
public and private life proves them to b,
false and malicious.
