A DEFAMER OF GARFIELD.

WASHINGTON, March 10.-The Stawart policy of
defamng the dead Garfield is growing bclder The
Post prints this morning probably the most mallg-
nant attack tnat was ever made upon President
Garfield, either during his life or SINCE 1t is a
communication signed Justice" and The
Post says of it editorially that the writer
was q member of the Chicago Convention
and calls him "a prominent Republican"
1t adds; "The name of the author is in pos
session and at the service of the Presidents poiti
cal administrators If they desire to take issue with
his declarations. either of fact opinion"
The letter excited universal indignation, and there
was much speculation as to its authorship. All at
tempts to ascertain this, however, were unavailng.
The following sentences indicate the character OF
tle letter:
Garfield treacherous, cowardly. hypOcritical
man, selfish TO the extreme and not caring what hap
pened so 1t did not happen TO himself General Rose
and is worth TO this country thousand Gar
fields . II is high time, for the sake of Onr
National sense the truth Of history and Justice
alike. TO the living aud the dead that all this gush over
Garfield should end Millions Of better and of greater men
have lived and died The writer of this article was u
delegate TO the Chicago Convention and ut no time
voted there for Garfield.

professional politician, fniurc as preacher and law
beads, and that was his stock in trade. No one can

trayed John sherman at Chicago treacherously as

A REPORT IN FAVOR OF BISBEE.

WASHINGTON, March 10.-The sub-commit-

mittee and by Mr. Paul. of Virginia, Readuster Demo
crat, The other Democratic member OF the sbcomnit
tee is Mr. BeltzhOOver OF Pennsylvania. II Is uncertain
whether he will agree to the report, although some Re
publican members of the Elections Committee of the
opinion that he will do The report recommends the
seating of Colonel Bisbee the Republican contestant the
testimony showing conclusively that he elected by
majority Of $50 votes, although Finley counted In"
returns Civ Dg him alleged majority of 1l52 votes
The report finds that almost every description OF fraud
resorted in order produce this apparent result
II s expected that the report will be submitted TO the
full committee Oh Tuesday and that 1t will be promptly
adopted.
This is the third time in succession that Colonel sbee
has been cOntestec from his district. In
1876 he declared elected and admitted 10 his scat In
the XLNth Congress, but his seat contested by
Finley. the sitting member. The testimony taken
then showed that Bisbcc had been fniry elected, and
the Democratic majority in the House hesitated
about turning Inn ont. He allowed to retain his

the Democrats willing TO give Finley two years
