sOAHIFxING THE ..sTALwARrs,'
THE REoErr nEsoIcrNos OF srbnns,


THE RECENT RRJoIcIEas OF sToRRs,
GRANT, NEWMAN AND OTHERS
SHARPLY CRITICISED. iaif
The following letter written by
Isaac Rice, State SenatorAof Illinois
from the Ogle district, to Emory A..
storrs, has just been brought TO
light - EEle1
DEAR SIR :--Iu writing to you
must be doing a very foolish lhlng,
but am prompted to it for one single
reason aud that is, that the Stal-
warts, who klory so much in their
name, are not aware OF the feeling
existing among the firm, thiuldng and
controlling part of the Republican
party in the country with regard to
Stalwartism as represented by the
LincolR Club at its last meeting. You
seem to be not aware that large ma
jority of Repu uslicans fiEmly bellsve

growth OF the war made upon him by
the Stalwarts and when we read
such speeches as the Rev. DR.. New.
mans 1t is difficult to avoid the CON
olusiOH that he, at least, rejoices at
the fact. Arthur was ploriiied, and
Garfield was such a poor, i6sgnfi-
cant-nobody, no one had time to even
lnentiOn,hlsname. For the first time
in the hiElory of our country, "a man
was nominated for the, Presidency
who was MT a candidate, and, indeed,
against his own protest as a delegate
aud what the country thought of him
was shown by his overwhelming
election. Any one who will read
Garheld's speeches made upon all the
great questions during his long Coh :
gressional career cannot avoid HE
conclusion that he was the ablest
stai esman Of his day. gEt |1t-
! LINCOLN was the victim of the dam
nable spirit of recession, and Garfield
was the victim OF the hellish spirit Of
Stalwartlsm, as exhibited by its chief
apostle, Conkling. The one is as much
worse Than the other as 1t IS possible to
conceiye-the blow to the one coming
from an avowed enemy, and 10 the Othel

been TO maintain themse Ives upon the

which planters obtain advances from

Canal Locally Considered.
From the Baltimore Sun. -.
The New York Maritime Register.
10 reply to the SEn, reiterates is Oh.
lection to q congressional appropria-
tion for building the Delaware and
Chesapeake ship-canal. The only
poinG IL makes In support OF its po-
sition is that 1t Is "entirely of local
Importance, and should he construct
ed from local means. The Register
has ''no objection to offer to coneres-
sional appropriations for the i'm prove. .
ment Of Baltimore barboi, because
baltimore Is one of the most i'm port
ant gateways of the country, and it is
just and right that it's barber should be
improved at national expense" Grant
ing this to be true, will the Register
be good enough TO explain at what
point the ''naJiOnar' interest ceases
aud The ''looal' interest begins
Congress has appropriated many mill
lions of dollAs to improve The APP
proacheB from ,Ine sea to New " K
harbor. If those distractions, for
whose removal Congress hus made
such lavish appropriations, had been
fifty miles from New York instead OF
from five TO fifteen, would What was a
national work at fifteen miles be a
local work at fifty +? The ebstructIon
may be sunken rocks, as at He'll Gate,
or a bar or series OF LaIs as at Sand !
Hook o. it may be barrow peB insuta
interposed between the Chesapeake
and the Delaware. The same reason
that justifles the removal of rocks
at He'll Gate, or the bar at SANDY
Hook justIties, in like manner and to
an equal degree, the cutting of q ship.
canal to connectth Chesapeake with
the Delaware. In either case the OBJ.
ject is to improve the approaches to
the sea. BY the removal of the rocks
in the East river at New York, the
navigation of that river has been freed
from the dangers to whlcS it was
naturally subjected; whilst by the cut.
ting Of ship-canal across the Eastern
Shore peninsula tie danger of which
vessels are exposed in bad weather of
Hatteras would be avoided and ths
distance 10 the SEA shortened two
hundred miles. We consider that
Congress was right in regarding the
removal of the rocks at He'll Gate as I
national work and in making .appro
priations, year after year, TO get lid o
them, and yet, if it we're looked upot
in the same light as the Maritime Re
gister looks upon our proposed ship
canal, the. improvement would take {
strictly local aspect and should hav,
