great darkness-and his soul was not shaker.
His countrynen were thrilled with an in

Masterful ia his moral weakness, he became
the center Of nations love, enshrined in the
prayers of world; but all the love, and all
the sympathy could not share with him in
his suffering. He trod the wire-press alone.
With unfalteIing front he faced death. With
unfailing tenderness he took leave CT life.
Above the demoniac hiss of the assassin's hull

resignation be bowed to the Divine decree.
As the end drew near his early craving-the
craving for tie sea-returned. The stately
mansion Of power had been to him the weary
hospital of pain, and he begged to be taken
from its prison walls, from its oppressive,
stifiipg air, from its homejiness and from its
hopelessness. Gently, silently, the love
of great people bore the pale
sufferer to the longed-for healing of the sea,
to live or to die, as God should will, within
sight OF It's heaving pillows. within sound Of
its manifold voices. With wan, fevered face,
tenderly lifted to the cooling breeze, he

WASHINGTON, February 18th. - Genera
Rosectans furnishes tonight fer publication
the following card:
Mr. Blaine, in his funeral Grafton before tie two
houses, said: "When General Garfield assumed
his new duties he found various troubles already
well developed and seriously affecting the value of
and efficiency OF the Army OF the Cumberland"
was the commanding General OF that army, and
General Garfield was my chief OF staff. Had this
been fact certainly would have known it. Gen.
eral Garfield was bound to tell OF it. Justice to
the truth Of history and to the Army of the Cumber
land requires that should declare that never heard
OF such state OF things until the statement came
from lips OF the orator yesterday. The distin-
guished gentleman has been wholly misinformed,
and the statement above quoted has no foundation
in fact. On the contrary it was the general senti-
ment and constant boast of the officers and men Of
the Army OF the Cumberland that it singularly
united and free from dissensions, and therefore
ones genius required to heal these discussions.

few sentences further on, Mr.. Blaine says His
military duties closed on the memorable field OF
Chicamauga, field which, however disastrous to
the Union armies, gave to him an occasion Of win

WASHINGTON, February 2Ssh. = Senator
Miller's able and comprehensive speech on
the Chinese question was attentively listened
to by mnch larger number of Senators than
usually sit through the 1deliverY of go long an
argument from manuscript, when no immedi-
ate action ia expected, and it will undoubt-

Sioadt Record with interest and profit by most
OF those who were absent from the chamber
to day. The comments made upon it by
number of the older Senators who heard it
this afternoon, including several who were
unfIiendly to the object of the bill, are
highly complimentary of the fullness
and perspicuity of Miller's presentation
of the case, and the manner in
which the debate has been opened inspires
additional confidence that the Senate will by
decisive majority pass the bill. During the
delivery of the speech, which occupied an
hour and twenty minutes, four members Of
the Chinese Legation, who were sight-sseiog
at the Capitol entered the diplomatic gallery,
but beat hasty retreat from it upon learning
what the subject was before the Senate. They
were evidently afraid they would be consid-
cred guilty of some breach Of propriety il
they remained while this measure was up for
consideration, for they not only retired from
the gallery, but Immediately left the Capitol.
