GARFIELD AND ROSECRANS.
ANOTHER LETTER FROM GARFIELD.
His Apparent Devotion to tho Old Com
Nander.
In an interview with a correspondent of
the Philadelphia Times in Washington last
evening, General Rosecrans opened fire
upon the New York Herald for the inius-
tice done him in the statement that the
taking Of the opinion Of the eighteen
generals was brought about at the sugges-
ton of General Garfield. From what
General Rosecrans says it should have
stated that tho latter suggestion to Gene
raj Garfield to write the several officers Of
tho corps, asking their opinion on the
question Of delay. General Rosecrans says
that afterward letter of General Gar
fields. addressed to him (Rosecrans),
which contained his opinion on their Opiu-
ion on the subject, reached General Hal
leck.
Relative to tho letter published in tho
New York Herald, purporting to have been
written by General Garfield. General Rose
Grams recognized in it the substance OF
letter which he had at home and which he
was much surprised to see published, las no
one that he knew of had seen it excepting
Colonel Daer and the members of his,
General Rosecrans', family. The former
had often spoken to General Rosecrans of
General Garfield's inclinatian to play two
parts, and when shown the letter he made
q copy of the substance, General Rose
Grams had not read over the letter as pub
lished, bnt remembered, he thought, that
it contained passage 81 have always
been true to you in heart, word and deed"
He says the letter was genuine, so far as
he could remember now.
Garfield to Rosecrars.
The following is the letter from Garfield
to Rosecraps. 1t is dated Washington, Jan
uary 10, 1880:
"MY DEAR GENERAL Yours of the
Goth December came just as was leaving
for Ohio or it would have been answered
sooner.
81 have tried for somo time to get hold
of the article in the New York Sun to
| which you refer. and have not yet been
able to do so. 1 have been told its sub
stance by two or three persons who have
seen it. can only say, in absence of the
| article itself, that any charge, whether it
comes from Dana or any other liar, to the
effect that l was in any sense untrue to
you or unfaithful to our friendship has no
| particle of truth in it.

same, as you remembered, in the House Of
Representatives very soon after l entered
that body.
eff you will send me Dana's article, or
if can find a copy oft will, if yon think
| best, write and publish a reply.
I" 1t is true l was an occasional cores
pondent Of Secretary Chase. Several times,
while was your chief of staff, he wrote
me in regard to the progress of the war
and asked my opinions on various ques-
tions connected with it, but I fearlessly
challenge all the rascals in the world to
publish any such letters written by me.
They are welcome to all the capital they
can make out of them. With kindcst re-
CARDS am, as ever, your friend"
| Explaining tho LeItcr.
The article referred to as published in
the Sun was printed in November, 1879,
after a meeting Of the grand army, at
which time General Garfield forwarded
General RosecraEs very feeling dispatch,
asking him to be present, On this occa-
sion Charles A. Dana was there. The ar
ticIe mentioned was signed " C: A. d."
and held General Garfield up the party
responsible for General Rosecran's re-
moval. Tho latter sent a clipping or the
same to General Garfield in letter
and informed him, as he was
then in the midst of a fight for the
senatorship, to let the matter remain un-
needed until that was over, when he
thought it would be q proper time for
Garfield to deny the numerous lies that
had been circulated. He (Rosecrans) thus
showed that he still had unlimited faith in
his supposed friend, Garfield, and was un
vipdication from tho SANDER. There
willing to say, but the man was now dead
and had been buried with many honors.
| 1t was only proper the Misrepresentation
! of the past should be mot as they arose,
and this was due to the truth of history.
In reference to the Stanton meeting at
Louisville, mentioned in the Garfield let
| ter of tho 10Th, General Rosecrans says
that besides Mr.. Stanton Anson Steigert
and Andrew johnson were present, and
Garfield did not defend him (Rosecrans)
rs asserted in that letter. General Rose
Grams appears to be very little disturbed
over the matter. He has taken steps to
ascertain the genuineness Of the confiden-
tial Chase letter, and can yet scarcely be-
lieve the man whom he trusted could have
been so false and treacherOus.
