In. o.ra.,a Letter.

General James S. Neeley. who was
during the Rebellion a division com
nandsr, and also one Of the seventeen
Generals mentioned by Garfield in the
Chase letter, WAS interviewed Wednes-
day. BE said he deplored the so-ealled
Garfield and Rosecrans controversy. 1
sum up the whole case about as follows.
General Garfield wrote freely to his
friend. giving utterance to his hopes
and political views. without the slightest
intention Of doing injustice to his supe-
rior, and it was only in after years this
untimely and unfortunate letter became
a source OF unexpected irritation, and
to day it attains its chief proportions in
the ill-advised attempt to glorify the
already illustrious memory Of President
CART Id at the expense Of the feelings
and honor Of his living comrades. That
he would condemn it if living. / AN
certain. That every true friend Of his
condemn the act I am certain. and that
every lover Of justice aud truth should
hesitate to deprive General Rosecrans
OF tie credit he deserves for the achieve.
ments OF the army under his command
at Stone River and at Tulahola. Gen.
Garfield was at that period Of his lie
more OF n politician than a soldier. He
hud lately left the Ohio Senate, where he
had taken an active and aggressive part
in the political issues grown GU OF tho
war. and it Was quite natural that he
should sympathise with this side of the
question. He had grown to be familiar
with the cry OF On to Richmond and
deemed it a necessary requirement on
the part Of genera! officers to satisfy
public impotence at home"

Judge Folger,s Acceptance.

Judge FOlger's Acceptance.
Mr.. HEPBURN's WITHDRAWAL FROM THE REPUBLICAN
TICKET AS C0NGREssMAN-AT-LARGE-w THE
NEW YORK PAPERS SAY TO-DAY.
The tribune says: 1.-THE man on the Saratoga
ticket whom nobody objected to, and with whose
nomination everybody was satisfied, finds the
scandals Of the convention too heavy a burden,
and refuses to stand under them. Mr.. Hepburns
letter is modest, manly and consistent. Mr..
Folger Is not unwilling to hold nomination under
such circumstances. He accepts, and writes two
or three columns to tell why case entirely clear
could have been stated in shorter space"
The N. Y. Times says: "The situation will
prove preplexlng to many honest minds, and 1t
Is calculated to beget sincere sorrow In the hearts
OF the best friends OF Judge Folger and the
republican party"
The World speaks OF the letter Of acceptance
viteS the republicans Of New York to move on to
battle under his banner to the inspiring strains OF
the dead march in Saul"
The Herald says: 1--WE do not suppose Mr.
Folger's somewhat too elaborate metaphysical
disqusitton on the question whether an honest
man ought to be or can be the beneficiary of a
fraud Will greatly affect the minds OF the voters
good many OF them will say, in popular phrase,
that 1T Is too thin, and we confess that Is own
opinion Mr. Folger a4mits that he ought not to
could do no less than admit that fraud vtiates all
1t touches"
The N. 7. Sun prints portrait of "the next gov
ernor OF New York-GrOver Cleaveland"-and
ADDS: "Either Mr.. A. B. Hepburn, the republican
nominee IOr C0ngreSSman-at-large, had not read
MT Folgers letter OF acceptance, or had failed to
be convinced by its arguments, when he penned
his own declination yesterday. Reasoning from
the same premises as Mr. Folger, Mr.. Hepburn
reaches exactly the opposite conclusion"
