THE LETTER.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,, WASHING
TON, D. c., Jan. 10, 1SS0.-My Dear General:
Yours Of the Goth December came just as
was leaving for Ohio, or it would have been
answered sooner. / have tried for some time
to get hold of the article in the New York
Sur to which you refer, and have not been
able to do so. l have been told the substance
by two or three persons who have seen it.
can only say, in the absence of the article it.
self, that aay charge, whether it comes fro
Dana or any other liar, to the effect that was
IN any sense untrue to you, or unfaithful to
our friendship, has
NO WORD OF TRUTH IN IT.
On my way from your army to Washington
met Mr.. Stanton at Louisville, and when he
denounced you in vigorous language rebuked
him, and earnestly defended you against his
assaults. l did the same, as you remember,
il the house of representatives very soon after
/ entered that body. If you will send me
Dana's article, or if l can find a copy of it, I
will, if you think best, write and publish
reply. 1t is true that l was an occasional
correspondent OF Secretary Chase. Several
times, while l was your chief of staff, he
wrote me in regard To the progress of the war,
and asked my opinions on various questions
connected with it; but fearlessly challenge
all the rascals in the world to publish apy such
letters written by me. They are welcome to
all the capital they can make out of them.
With kindest regards, am, as ever, your
friend, J. A. GARFIELD.
To Gen. Rosecrans.

WILMINGTON. TUESDAY. DEC. go
Br,bery Mt Elections.

The subject of bribery at elections, now
receiving considerable attention at the
hands of the State press, is one that should
also be seriously considered by the Legisla-
ture at its approaching session.
There is no doubt that the disgusting
nractices Of bribery and vote purchasing
have prevailed in this State, particu-
larly in the two lower counties,
for years, and that the evil
seems to be increasing instead of dimishing,
1t is well known which party is mainly re-
sponsible for this depraved condition OF
affairs, but as it is not our desire to make
political capital, but simple to unite in an
appeal for the determination of grave and
growing evil, we will refrain from any
comments on this point and simply urge the
adoption of practical measures Of relief.
Nothing tendslso much to decentralization
and corruption at elections as the use OF
money in influencing votes. The Legitimate
expenses of campaign are heavy enough
of themselves, but when corruption fund
must be added It will be readily seen that
the legitimate effect will be to con
fine official candidacy to the richer
classes or o,en up the tempta
tion to poorer officers to make their offieia
positions eventually bear the expenses o
the canvass. Thus crime and peculatior
may naturally be expected to follow th'
Jiebauchery of the ballot, and as We hay'
Mot yet reached this deplorable situation IL
Delaware, 1t is imperatively necessary u
call halt before the inevitable result |
upon us.
What is needed is searching and strin
gent law against bribery and ote-purchasin
at elcctions-one that shall make the brlbC
2iver and bribe-taker equally guilty an
dispense summary punishment to botf
