The Honeymoon at an End.

The West has never been reconciled to
the evident preference OF the acting Presi-
dent for New York, shown in the appoint
ment of FolGer to the Treasury; and the
subsequent acts of the Administration have
not removed the dissatisfaction caused by
that one. Moreover, the East is as little
satisfied with the choice of Howe as the
West is with that of Folger, and both East
and West would rebel against Sargent. The
honeymoon of the acting President is, in
deed, over. Henceforth he must tread q
thorny path, and look for no reward at the
end of il.

Col. w. Cook, who was employed by
Garfield TO conduct the Star Route
prosecutions, has withdrawn from the
case. He states that his reason for re-
signing was owing to the evident pur.
pose to freeze him out, as had been
done in the case of Gibson and the
original detectives employed in the
case. He claims that there is no en-
cOuragement from Arthur's admins
tration that the last indictments do
not thow any real purpose is proven
by the fact of the purchase by Mr..
Bliss some time ago, of the National
Republican for $4,000, which he paid
Brady, at the same time keeping OH
the paper all the friends of the star
route men. A prominent attorney for
the defense stated that he thought
Cook had made mistake i'm taking.
but admitted that he Cook had not
been treated right. Cook further said
that he was confident that conviction
would have followed in most of the
cases, but from the extraordinary pro-
ceedings since the advent of Bliss did
not think it argued well for the sue
cess of the prosecution. The inter
view eXcites great comment and Cook 's
intention to say more excites all par
ties interested in the cases. lie also
says that the present administration
does not manifest the same earnestness
in the prosecution of these eases as
that of General Garfield, with whom
he had, he says, long interview three
nights before the assassination.

LITTLE Rock, March 17.-Arkansas
City was visited by terrific storm late
"Wednesday night. The Gazette's spec.
ial says: 1.-Two houses in the north
end of town, belonging to Major John
ID. Adams and occupied by negro fam
lilies, were blown down. None of the
inmates were injured. A house situ-
ated near Arkansas City, occupied by
two negro families, was lifted from its
foundations and sent floating with the
current in the back water. At consid-
erLble risk Capt. ID. o. Hemingway
managed to reach the imprisoned in
mates, and conveyed them to a place
of temporary safety. The city Gala
bOose was blown from its foundation,
and this morn ng gracefully floats with
the ebb and flow of the waters. The
house of Constable Bond was blown
down, together with the adjoining one
occupied by Mr.. Taylor. In the south
part of town the effects of the storm
wore less destructive, only one house,
that of Mr.. James Bailey, having been
destroyed. The inmates were i'm a per-
ilous situation, but fortunately were
rescued through the efforts of City
Marshal James Wilson. No reports
have been received from the back
country, but fears are entertained that
considerable damage has been done"

Garfield and Rosecrans.

The letter from Gen. Garfield to Mr..
Chase, written in July, 1868, which
first appeared in this journal, has nat
urally excited attention, not only
among persons interested in the mill
tary history of the rebellion, but among
those who wish to form true estimate
of the character of the late President
or the United States.
This letter shows that while Gen.
Garfield was chief of staff to Gen. Ro-
secrans, holding toward him not mere
ly the relations of subordinate officer,
but those of most intimate and con-
fdential friend, he was at the same
time writing to the Secretary Of the
Treasury letters calculated to discredit
ROsecrans, and looking toward his re-
moval from command of the Army of
the Cumberland. The particular let
ter published by the Sun proves that
this kind of treachery and double deal
ing was practiced by Garfield at least
as long as three months before Gen.
ROsecrans was finally removed.
Some of our contemporaries are led
into the erroneous conclusion that it
was this individual letter which ulti-
mately caused the removal of Rose
Grams but this, we think, is mistake
fAS VIC haNc lVpchbCuiy hitu oCtASiOil w
aver, that event was brought about,
not by this letter, but by another, or
others written from Chattanooga, in
the month of October, 1868, but adj
dressed, as this one was, to Mr.. Chase.
The existence of such letter or let
ters, and the fact that it was the con-
tehts thereof which finally determined
President Lincoln to remove ROsecrans
was stated, as we believe, by Mr. Lin
coin to the Hon. Montgomery Blair in
the month of November or December,
1868; and, as We knOW il was stated by
Mr.. Stanton to Mr.. G.. A. Dana in the
month of December.
Thus it was that Gen. Garfield, with
out revealing TO Gen. Rosecrans that
he was in any way dissatisfied, and
without informing him that he was

JUST about one year ago the man
who is now President of the United
States attended dinner given in hon
or of the the Secretary of the Repub-
lican National Committee, and in a
closing speech, he said: And though
New York had for years been consid-
cred a doubtful State, it was more
Democratic than Republican but 1
repeat, that if one thing more than
another secured our success in New
York, it was the moral effect and sup
port given our cause by our success in
Indiana, which was more largely due
to Senator Dorsey than to anyone else"
The man referred to as winning the
victory which carried New York by
its moral effect' is none other than
Dorsey, chief of the Star Route thieves,
now under Indictment for plundering
the treasury. This man Dorsey, and
his confederates, have stolen about
100000 of the peoples money. A
nice man to furnish party with VIC
tories and with moral effect and sup
port!"

Five Children Euried Aiiyc.

ST.. JOSEPH, Mo-, March 17.-Five
boys, aged from nine to eleven, lost
their lives late yesterday afternoon by
the caving in of playhouse which
they had dug in bank, in the north
part Of the city. The boys attending
school in that vicinity commenced
digging last fall, and having penetra-
ted few feet into the bank, dug out
room six feet high and about six by
eight in dimension. AT half past four
this afternoon, after school, number
OF boys repaired to the cave for their
usual frolic, when the bank caved in
upon five of them, crushing and smoth-
ering them to death, some seventeen
feet of earth piling upon them. The
alarm was given, and a great crowd of
citi iens soon collected, and at half past
six the lifeless bodies of the five boys
had been dug out.

THE fight of the Republican factions
still continues aid daily deepens. The
persistent attacks of The Half-breeds
upon Mr.. COnkiing and his Stalwart
friends has eliminated in the puhlica-
ton by the latter of certain letter
written by General Garfield, while he
was Chief-of-StaT OF General Rose
Grams, to the late Secretary Chase,
dated July Sd, 1868, in which he com
plains OF the slow movements of his
superior officer. This is said to be one
of a series of letters written by Gar
field to Secretary Chase upon the same
subject matter, and it is now claimed
by the Stalwarts, that while protesting
friendship for General Rosecrans, by
means of this correspondence, insidu-
ously and treacherously procured the
removal of his chief from the COM
mand OF the Army OF the Cumberland.
The letter was published originally in
the New York Sun, to which it was
furnished by a man named Shuckers,
who was private Secretary of Mr..
Chase. 1t is said the other letters will
soon be given to the public. These are
being used by the vindictive Stalwarts
to tear down the reputation of the dead
President and has resulted in fierce
fight of the factions over the grave of
the dead President which promises the
utter disruption of that party. AS the
controversy is claiming a large share
of the public attention we publish in
another column the letter alluded to
as also an article of the Sun in refer.

BROTHER MCGREGoR, of the Stark

Repository, puts the following pointed
and tough questions:
"No need of intercession. If this

And then will not these new States,
with few inhabitants, have two mem
bers in the United States Senate as
we'll as New Yor! with her five mill
ions? Little Delaware and little Rhode

''Hhe old Federal tory organs do not
believe the Declaration of InGepcn-
dence which declares These colonies

remember that this party of loyalty
claim that the war changed all that

annuIed the constitution Of the faith
