Gen. ROsecrsns's Answer 80 fhe Episflt
of His Chief Of StaH.


Ii Is the first time had ever heard of the
existence OF such a letter, but after the eau
paign life OF General Garfield, in which such
gross Misrepresentation of fact occurred, and
very much in the same strain as this letter,
am not surprised at il. At no time during
the period that General Garfield was with
me at the Army of the Cumberland did he
express to me any such sentiments OF impa-
thence or dissatisfaction as those given in
this letter. He understood all my plans and
objects and my anxiety to move as soon as a
move could be made with proper regard 10
effectiveness. About the conference of the
generals OF a council Of war, there was none
such. General Garfield suggested that the
opinions of the generals be taken, and, by the
way, there were but fifteen, though General
Garfield, putting himself ahead Of all of
them, raises himself two generals higher by
saying there were seventeen Of them.
told General Garfield TO take their opinion
If he wanted to, and set of questions was
sent out and responses came in. He knew
that had made up my mind as to the con-
duct OF the opening campaign, and that It did
not N after to me what the generals under me
thought or said. He got the answers and i
told him to forward copies to General Hal
leck, which / suppose he did. L did not read
them nor know what opinions were given.
General Garfield wrote TO General HaIleck,
embodyiDg my views OF a vigorous pushing
movement when the proper time came. /
never had any idea Of a movement before
the one that was made, and never before
knew that l was being governed by my chief
OF staff, a. this letter would make it appear.
We were busy all the time making prepare
tions to have the army promptly and properly
provisioned when the advance did begin.
We had to deceive the enemy az 20 the place
where our supplies were stored, and also a
inf urh he aH hog
We had also to wait until corn was 1T 10

General Garfield knew what preparations
were making, and gave his entire assent to
them and did not at any time express 10 zoe
any fears that we were wasting time.

FOUR MEN KILLED
And Building Leveled TO the Ground
by the Bursting or Boiler.

LYNN, MASS March I5.-The boiler in
Goodwin Bros.'s shoe factory exploded this
morning, leveling the building aud killing
several men. The fire department was
quickly called ont aud Immediately went to
work to remove the debris from the end OF
building near Exchange street. One poor
fellow, badly mangled, was taken out. His
first words were, There were more in there"
Soon after the dead body OF John Moore,
engineer, terribly crushed, was recovered.
Hall an hour after another body was found.
Four men, who usually came to work at 6
o'clock every morning, are missing. A por-
ton of the boiler weighing a ton was thrown
a quarter of a mile TO Newh .ll street, strik-
ing a house on that street. 1t glanced across
and drove itself into the front doorway of
the house of Councilman Burrill. Had the
accident happened half an hour later the
loss of life must have been terrible. Fifty
people work in the building above the boiler,
and fortunately had not arrived when the
explosion occurred. Another piece OF the
boiler went through large covered walk
across the court, leading from the street TO
the scene of the catastrophe, in an opposite
direction from that portion which flew to
Newhall street.

brighten. 1t is evident that the reputation
Of the late President Garfield will suffer by
this exposure. Nothing can justify the per
tidy which the facts reveal. A 'contid entail"
staff officer cannot write q confidential"
letter to cabinet officer without perpe-
tratiDg the bssest iDgratitude and duplicity.
Such will be the verdict Of the civilized
world. This controversy will cause much
elimination and recrimination, and if the
Army Of the Cumberland should sustain
Rosecraus, Garfield will be rememb cred
only ss an migrate and the betrayer and
slauderer Of the man who made him
his confidential friend. The splendid repu-
tation which Garfield made during his short
career az president has been dissipated, and
he again appears before the world as de-
ceitful, treacherous, limp, dish-rag OF a man,
perpetUally slipping out Of the fingers of his
friends and falling down into a soft and
shspeless mass of humanity. He is again
remembered as one Of those "clever fellows"
with which the world is cursed-plausibie,
seemingly pure, honest and pious, but weak,
timid, irresolute, Facilitating, good-Datured,
and SO "child-like" that he could be made a
tool by anybody who cared to use him.
Such a man is more to be feared than an
opea enemy like Thad Stevens, for you can
watch and know how 10 encounter the bold,
honest, defiant foe. But no vigilance can
provide against the deceit, the treachery of
such a tickle, changeable and amiable man
as was james A. Garfield. His treachery
and duplicity toward General Rosecrans was
shameful, and it is to be regretted that the
name OF man who was consigned to his
grave amid the tears and affections OF
whole nation, irrespective OF party, has
been stained by spot so dark and damn

Observation-Disclosures

l.
Prof. T. r Vickroy, principal Of the Irving
school and the author of several very inter
estiDg books upon the subject of spelling re-
form, appeared in the office Of the school
superintendent, where a number of school
principals gathered around him to listen to
his ideas Of spelling reform, for Mr.. Nickroy
is a very interesting talker on all subjects,
but especially this. In order to illustrate
the manner in which words could be spelled,
according to the present system OF jumbling
a number Of letters together to make simple
sounds, Mr. Nickroy took the word potato
and spelled it in the following manner: In
the word hiccough, the letters gh are sup
posed to express the sound OF the letter p.
In the word though, the four letters ough
have the sound OF the simple o. In phthi.lc,
the letters phth are equivalent TO the letter I,
and In eight eigh has the sound Of the first
letter of the alphabet. In etiquette, the
three last letter., tie, sound as The single
letter t, and in the word beaux, eaux sounds
as o. Putting all these letters together, the
word potato is spelled "ghoughPhtbeight:
tsau." The simple word Johucan be spelled
Dgeo1kn. In the word knowledge, the
sound of is expressed by dge, and the short
O BY ow, while the sound Of D, in the same
word, Is expressed by the letters KIN.

lowance of certain claims reported allowed
by the accounting officer OF the treasury de-
pertinent. Passed without division. 1t APP
propriates S29l 600 for the payment OF 1900
claims.
Mr. Rice offered a resolution requesting
the Judiciary Committee to inquire whether
the conviction OF Sergeant Mason by a mill
tary court, and the proceedings Hereunder,
are not in violation of the laws and constitu-
ton of the United States, and report its de-
termination to the House, and giving the
committee leave to send for persons and
papers. Referred.
Mr. Hiscock, chairman of the Committee
on Appropriations, reported back the Senate
bill making further appropriations to relieve
the sufferers BY the overflow of the Missis-
sippi river. The committee recommended
the adoption of amendments increasing the
amount to be appropriated from 100000 to
Sl50,0 900, and authorizing the secretary of
war to expend such part thereof as is proper
for labor in strengthening the levees OF the
Mississippi river, but providing that he shall
only employ persons to whom he is issuing
rations on account of destitution.
After discussion, Mr.. Hiscock stated that
be had modified the amendment so as to
read as follows: "And the secretary OF war
is hereby authorized to eIpend such part
thereof as he may deem advisable for labor
only, in strengthening the levees of the Mis-
sissippi where there is danger OF immediate
breaks, at points in his discretion, but he
shall only employ persons to whom ne is issu-
ing rations on account of the restitution
caused by the overflow Of said river and Its
tributaries This amendment was adopted,
as was also that increasing the sPproPria-
| ton.
On motion OF Mr.. Cannon Ill. an amend
ment was adopted providing that nothing
herein contained shall commit the United
States to the Improvement or maintenance OF
the Mississippi river levees.

thereupon (amid loud rapping OF the Speak

Frank P. Blair, IT,, then just from the victo-
rious field OF Vicksburg, at which were pres
ent, among others, Montgomery Blair and
General Garfield, then just elected TO Con
gress. At the dinner the subject Of General
Rosecrans's removal was freely discussed, ana
there was a general expression OF opinion
that his removal was a grave mistake. by
no one was this expression more forcibly
stated than by General Garfield, who was
loud in his praises OF him a military
genius and able general. Montgomery Blair
was so much impressed by General Gar

GOUED'S METHODS.
How Those who Have Money Easily
Make More.
New York Letter to GaliguanIs

Jay Gould's regular broker (Connor) is
only one of the many IN his service, and
Common himself often employs other brokers
in order to carry out Gould's secret schemes.
1t was in this manner that Gould depressed
the elevated stock until it touched the de-
sired point, yheu he loaded himself with all
ne could cany. He then changed from 'bear"
to "bull," working out his scheme with grand
success. A vast amount OF money was lost
by those who sold out under Gould's attack,
and the advance of these very shares now
adds million more to his wealth. 1t has
for ten years been Gould's role to watch for
weak stocks. When he has made a selection
lie forces il down by series OF well con-
certed attacks. and then makes heavy pur-
chases and forces the market up as easily
as he forced it down. Only a man OF the
highest order of genius can carry on such a
system, and the fact that Gould succeeds is
the greatest proof of his vast natural powers.
Gould is the most inferior of all leading
business men in point OF personal appear
ance, and stranger would take him for a
Bowery clothes dealer rather than a railway
king. He has the air OF spruce trsthcker
in cheap goods. Both front and side face
are inferior, but the lower part OF the latter
is concealed by heavy beard, SO Intensely
black that it suggests artificial means. Gould
leads a hard life. He labors with close ap-
plication, and is driven by the pressure of
his engagements until he may be considered
a mere bonGsmap. He has no leisure, no
society, no reading, no recreation; but is sim
ply under the whip and spur OF necessity.
To this has been added the consciousness OF
impending danger. He has bodyguard OF
detectives to protect him when walking the
streets but he spends most of his time in his
Cfice, being as secluded as possible.

A WONDERFUL DOG.
a Little Animal That VIII Dig Hus
dreds of Feet for Water.

y
For years the water question has been a
conundrum on the plains Of Arizona and
southern California. 1t is we'll known that
some of the land on the deserts is OF the best
quality, and would produce the finest crops
in the world if rain would fall or water were
plentiful enough for irrigation. This problem
has been solved by South American gentle
man who has been travelling over the most OF
the world He has been in this city for the
past few days, and Times reporter, learning
through third party that he had made a
discovery, called upon him and gathered the
following facts:
Ii seems that the gentleman was travelling
in dry part of South America about eight
cen months ago, all alone, looking for new
range for stock. He had journeyed about
thirty miles from wafer, and was beginning
to get used up, when he discovered one OF
those green spots on the desert that makes
the lone travellers heart feel light. On
nearer approach he saw that there was a
town of small animals similar to the prairie
dog of this country. They had mounds all
around the green spot, and seemed to be very
numerous. When he rode up among them
they all scampered into their holes, but soon
came out again, and became quite tame. He
rode up to the spring, or we'll, and found ii
to be an excellent quality OF water.
After uuenching his thirst he began 10
The strangest thing his attention was called
to was the similarity OF the holes from which
the water flowed to the holes made by the
dogs. The spring fiowed-from the entrance
of a mound Just the same as that IN which
| the dogs lived, but it was much larger, and
ON top wa, a large basin. Noticing thli
! fact, and knowing that water was a great
| distance he began investigation, and
came to the conclusion that the little dogs
had bored the well. Acting upon this de-
cision he captured two OF them and started
| for the ranch. On arriving there pen was
made in dry place and the little fellow:
put in it. In few days the work began
They worked very rapidly, and soon had a
| hole fifty or sixty feet deep. They seemed
| to be able to penetrate the hardest kind OF
soil, as they kept right on, stopping for moth
| ing. One would work in the bottom Of the
hole while the other brought the dirt to the
top. On the Fifth day they seemed te be ex'
| hausted, and be gave them come water. Thil
stopped work for several days, but they zoor
got thirsty and went TO work as hard a:
ever. On the morning OF the eighteenth dag
they both came up with rush, followed by
