Sound on the Tariff Wise Words on Pi nance, Education, State Eights, the Chinese Qnestion, etc. Mextok, Ohio, July 12. General Gariield h:is forwarded to Senator Hoar, of Massachusetts, the following letter of acceptance of the nomination tender ed him hy the Kepuhliean Xational Convention: Mextok, Ohio, July 12, 1SS0. 3)eak.Sik: On the evening of the bth of .June last I had the honor to receive from you, in the presence of the com mittee of which you were chairman, rthe official announcement that the Re publican Xational Convention at Chi cago had that day nominated me as their candidate for President of the United States. I Ticeept the nomina tion with gratitude for the confidence it implies, and with a deep sense of the responsibilities it imposes. I cordially indorse the principles set forth in the platform adopted by the convention. On nearly all the subjects of which it treats, my opinions are on record among the published proceedings of Congress. I venture, however, to make special mention of some of the princi pal topics which are likely to become subject of discussion. Without review ing the controversies which have been settled during the last twenty years, and with no purpose or wish fo revive the passions of the late war, it should be said that, Republicans fully recog nize and will strenuously defend all the rights retained by the people, and all the rights reserved to the States, they reject the pernicious doctrine of State supremacy, which so long crippled the functions of theisational Government, and at one time brought the Union very near to destruction. They insist that the United States is a Xation, with ample powers of self-preservation; that its Constitution, and the laws made in pursuance thereof, are the supreme laws of the land:" that the right of the nation to determine the method by which its legislature shall be created cannot ue surrendered with out abdicating one of the fundamental powers of government; that the na tional laws relating to the election of representatives in Congress shall neith er be, violated nor evaded; that every elector .shall be permitted, freely and without intimidation, to cast his lawful vote at such election and "have it hon estly counted; and that the potency of this vpte shall not bo destroyed bv the fraudulent vote of any other person. The best thoughts and energies of our people should be directed to those gteat questions of national well-being in which all have, a common interest. Such efforts will soonest restore to perfect peace those who were lately in arms against each other, for justice and good-will outlast passion. Uut it is certain that the wounds of the war cannot be completely healed, and the spirit of brotherhood cannot fully per vade the wliole country, until every citizen, rich or poor, white or black, is secure in the free and equal enjoyment "i.uei.) iguana puuucui rignt guar anteed by the Constitution and the laws. "Wherever the enjoyment of these rights is not assured, discomfort will prevail, immigration will cease, and the social and industrial forces will continue to be disturbed bv the migration of laborers, and the conse quent diminution of prosperity. The Xational Government should exercise all its constitutional authority to put an end to these evils, for all the people and all the States are members of one bodj', and no member can suffer with out injury to all. The most serious evils which now afflict the South arise from the fact that there is not such freedom and toleration of political opinion and action that the minority party can exercise an effective and wholesome restraint upon the party in power. "Without such restraint, party rule oecomes tyrannical and corrupt. The prosperity which is made possible in the South, by its great advantages of soil and climate, will never be realized until every voter can freely and safely support any party he pleases. . Xext in irapqrtance to freedom and justice is popular education, without which neither justice nor 'freedom can be permanently maintained. Its'irtter ests are, jntrusted to the States and to the voluntary action of the- people. "Whatever help ie nation caii justly afforusu'ould be generously glveii, fo aid tlie, States in Supporting common schools; ,but it' would be unjust to pur people, and dangerous to' our institu tions to apply any portion of the reve nues of the nation orbf the State to the,support of .seqterian schopls. The separation of' the church and ttife state, in everything relating to taxation, should be absolute. THE FINANCES. On the subject of national finances, my views have been so frequently and f illly expressed that little is needed in the way of additional statement.- The public debt is now so well secured, and the rate ot annual interest-has been so reduced by refunding, that rigid econ diny in expenditures and tlie faithful application of our surplus revenue to the payment of the principal debfcwill gradually but certainly free the people from its burdens, and close, with hon or, the financial chapter of the war. At "the same time, the government can provide for all its ordinary expenditure, and discharge its sacred obligations to the soldiers of the Union and to the widows and orphans of those w)io fell in its defense. The resumption of specie' payments, which the Republican party sp cour ageously and successfully accomplish ed, has removed from the field of con troversy many questions that long and seriously disturbed the credit of the government and the business o the country. Our paper currency is now as national as the Hag, and resumption has not only made it everywhere equal to coin,' but has brought into iise our store of gold and silver. The circula ting medium is now more abundant than ever before; 'and we need only to maintain the equality of our dollars to insure to' labor and capital a measure of value from the use of which no one can suffer loss. Tlie- great prosperity which the country is now enjoying should not be endangered by any vio lent changes or doubtful financial ex periments. THE CUSTOM LAWS. Jn reference tb the custom tyws a policy should be pursued which will bring revenue to the treasury and will enable the lauor and capital employed in our great industries to compete fair ly in our own markets with the labor and capital of foreign product. We legislate for the people of the United States, not for the whole world, and it is our glory that the American labor er is more intelligent and better paid than his foreign competitor. Our coun try cannot be independent unless its people, with their abundant natural resources, possess the requisite skill at any time to clothe, arm, and equip themselves for war, and in time of peace to produce all the necessary im plements of labor. It was the manifest intention of the founders of the gov ernment to provide for common de fense, not by standing armies alone, but by raising among the people a greater army of artisans, whose intelli gence and skill should powerfully con tribute to the safety and glory of the nation. INTERNAL IMPROVEMENTS. Fortunately for theinterests of com merce there is no longer any formid able opposition to appropriations for the improvement of our harbors and great navigable rivers, provided that the expenditures for that purpose are strictly limited to works of national importance. The Missouri River, with its great tributaries, is of such vital importance to so many millions of peo ple that the safety of its navigation re quires exceptional consideration. In order to secure to the nation the con trol of all its waters, President Jeffer son negotiated the purchase of a vast territory, extending from the Gulf of Mexico to the Pacific Ocean. The wis dom of Congress should be invoked to devise some plan by which that great rver shall cease to be a terror to those who dwell upon its banks, and by which its shipping may carefully carry the in dustrial products of twenty-five mil lions of people. The interests of agriculture, which is the basis of all pur material pros perity, and in which' seven-twelfths Pf our'population are engaged, as well as the interests' of manufactures and commerce, demand that the facilities for cheap transportation shall be in creased by the use of our great water courses. IMMIGRATION. The material interests of this coun try, the traditions of its settlement, anil the sentiment of our people have led the government to offer the widest hospitality to emigrants who seek our shores for new and happier homes, wil ling" to share the burderteaswell as the benefits of our society, and intending that their, prosperity shall become an undistinguishable part of our popula tion. THE CHINESE QUESTION. The recent move'ment of the Chinese to our Pacific c'Past partakes but little of the qualities of such an emigration,,! either in its purposes or its result. It is too much like an importation to be welcomed without restriction," too much like an'invasion to be looked up on without solicitude. We cannot con sent to allow any form of servile labor to be introduced among us under the guise of immigration. Recognizing the gravity of this subject, the present ad ministration, supported by Congress, has sent to China a commission of dis tinguished citizens, for the purpose of securing such a modification of the ex isting treaty as will prevent the evils likely to arise from the present situa tion. It is confidently believed that these diplomatic negotiations will be successful without the loss of com mercial intercourse between the two powers, which promises a great in crease of reciprocal trade and the en largement of our markets. Should these efforts fail, it will be the duty of Congress to mitigate the evils already felt and prevent their increase by such restrictions as, without violence or in justice, will place upon a sure founda tion the peace of our communities and the freedom and dignity of labor. THE CIVIL SERVICE. The appointment of citizens to the various executive and judicial offices of the government is, perhaps, the most difficult of all the duties which the con stitution has imposed upon the execu t' be wise to niake&imilar regulation's bv law for the civil; service, but, without mvauiug tue autnonty or necessary discretion of the executive. Consress should devise a hiethod that will de termine the tenure" of office, and'gfeat ly reduce the uncertainty which makes the service so uncertain and unsatis factory. Without depriving any officer of his rights as a citizen, the govern ment should require him to discharge all his official duties -with intelligence, efficiency and faithfulness. To select wisely from our vast population those who are best fitted for the many offices to be filled requires an acquaintance far beyond the range 'of any one man. j. ue executive snouiu, tneretore, seeic and receive the information and assist ance of those whose knowledge of the communities in which the duties are to be performed best qualifies them to aid him in making the wisest choice. The doctrines announced by the Chi cago convention are not the temnorarv devices of a party to attract votes' and carry an election. They are deliberate convictions, resulting from a careful study of the spirit of our institutions, the events of our history, and the best impulses of our people. "In my' judg ment these principles should "control the legislation and administration of the government. In any event they will guide my conduct until experience points a better way. If elected, it will be my purpose to eiiforc6 strict obedi ence to the constitution and the laws, and to promote, as best I may, .the in terest and honor of the whole country, relying for support upon the wisdom of Congress, the intelligence and pa triotism of the people, and the favor of uou. witn great respect, I am very truly yours, J. A. Garfield. To the Hon. George F.lloar, Cliar'n of Com Hancock and Hayes. Washington Dispatch to the.New York Eve ning Post. Some of the Democrats have endeavor ed to make it appear that General Han cock, who is expected soPn to approve the Democratic platform denouncing his Commander-in-Chief as a corrupt usurper, was from the outset opposed to the Hayes administration. It is a fact, however, which can be proved by the official record, that General Han cock, of his own volition, came to Washington to take part in the ceremo nies' of-inaugurating President Hayes and that he was the first general offi cer of the army to call upon the Presi dent after he was inaugurated. In the Senate chamber at the time of inauguration there were three general officers of the army in full uniform, with their staffs. They were General Sherman and Major Generals Hancock and Terry. A gentleman who has tak en pains to examine the record of the War Department, where all army offi cers upon their arrival here are requir ed to register, reports that there was no order issued requiring General Han cock to be present, and that the entry upon the registry book is substantially in thesese words, in General Hancock's own handwriting: "Winfield S. Han cock, Major General, by invitation of General Sherman, will beheroforthree or four days." General Hancock, soon after the ceremonies of the inaugura tion, called at the White House, and told the President that he had made haste to call because his official duties would soon require him to leave, and he said that he wished to pay his re spects to the Chief Executive before leaving. Iliscall at the White House was spoken of and remembered on account of rumors then current in the Demo cratic press that there was some dis affection in the army. It "was thought that if there was. General Hancock, perhaps more than any other officer, would have shown this by not calling. Bill English is a "curb-stone broker," a member of the. "farmer's relief socie ty," one of those fellows who loan money at 40 per cent., aud foreclose mortages to get their usury, providing the loan is a minute over-due. He is what Dickens would call "a charitable grinder." Murat Halstead refers to him in this way: "Well, I should not like to say that he ever made money wrongfully, for I jiave no information to that effect, but he's a man who that is, he's a man well, he skins to the bone everything he gets hold of. At. any rate, that is what Indiana says; He's the only man in the United States "who has an iron front door." "An iron front door? What's that for?" "That's what the Indianapolis boys say he has. His bed-room windows used to be all barred up, like a peniten tiary or an insane asylum, and the front door of his house, on a fashiona ble circle of the city, is declared to "be of iron. The boys say-that when it bangs the sound can be heard all over Indianapolis. The democrats talk of getting money out of this fellow with which to run the campaign. When men gather blood from turnips or pigs from bristles! It is given out that ladies will wear vests precisely like the gentleman's after this. When a married man goes to bed he will have to put a chalk mark on his vest, or next morning he may slip on his wife's and not discover his'mistake until he inserts his thumb and forefinger in the right-hand pock et for a pinch of fine-cut, and finds nothing but a piece of chewing-gum and the stub of a short lead-pencil. Then he will suddenly remember that there was a roll of ten-dollar green-backs in the left-hand pocket of his vest, that is if he is an editor he will, and he will rush back home in Rarus time. The great demand of the times ap pears to be a girl who can saw wood, clean house, cook for a family of sev en, take care of the baby, wash and iron, "auswer the door," fight flies, work fifteen hours a day, never get cross, never waste, spoil or lose any thing, never go out, never want any thing, have no company, and be happy, smiling well dressed, and contented for 31.75 a weelj. tive. The convention wisely demands that Congress shall co-operate with the executive department in placing the civil service on tv better basis.

Heady to Obey "President" Tilden's Orders After Harch 3 The Story Againk Told with Details Admitting no Doufci; of its Truth Corroborative Eyfdenca.in Til den's Acts. i . Special to the Cincinnati Gazette. WASHINGTOX,Jjlly, QIt is established that Hancock wrote 'fully Gen. Sherman while the count was in pro- gress, that he should, if the.-democrats- declared Tilden, elected repognize him after March :;d, even if he were inaug urated or snouiu taKe tue oath in .New ,York. The wliole story is tints' told: A secret conference of leading demo crats of. Yennont was held at Water bury on the evening pf March -31, at which Gen. W. F. (fialilyjLSmith wjis present. The chairman ofTthat meet ing, Hiram' Atkins, editor of the Ar gus and Patriot, mid chairman of the state committee, has seen fit to divulge the most important statements made at the time, and he related them at Cincinnati with the view of gaining the good will and support of Tilden's followers for Gen. Hancock. The conference was held in an up per parlor of Bishop's hotel, Washing ton, on the evening of March 31. There were present Messrs. Atkins, B. B. Smalley, W. II. II. Bingham, Lucius Robinson, A. M. Dickey, J.f. McGel trick, M. D. Gilman, J. J. Deavitt, M. S. Bowman, Col. Bailey, R. II. Scott, L. W. Redington, and "fifty other repre sentative democrats of Vermont. Dur ing the evening Gen. Smith addressed the meeting and said: GEN. SMITH'S STATEMENT. "There is one thing about Gen. Han cock that I want to tell you of, which will show the character of the man. I know it to be true, and it is this: During the exciting times pending the election of president in 1870, and about the time of the decision of the elector al commission, Gen. Ilanqpck, who then commanded tlie eastern military department of the United States,' wrote a letter to Gen. Sherman; expressing his belief that Samuel J. rTilden was legally elected president, and that ;is suchjie was entitled to take the oath of office elscwliere than at Washington. Hancock further stated that as an offi cer of theUnited States army he should obey any order he might receive from, President Tilden after midnight of March 3. And, added Gen. Smith, he was ready to answer a call for troops to sustain President Tilden should the occasion demand a, resort to arms." The explicit statement from Gen. Smith of a determination on. the part of the present democratic candidate to assist by force of arms in the usurpa tion of the presidential pflice by Tilden in 1S77, should such procedure be de cided upon, was heartily applauded. Gen. Smith was in a position to know whereof he. spoke, and his statement stands uncontradicted. From facts developed since Han cock's nomination there is little room .to doubt that he was the real choice of Tilden, and that a good understanding lias long existed between the would-be conspirators of four years ago. The failure to take forcible possession of the presidential office can beattributed to lack of nerve and moral courage on Tilden's part. Theoffer of Field Marsh id Watterson to have 100,000 democrats in Washington to see that Tilden was peacefully inaugurated, seems, in the light of Hancock's declared purpose, to have been no mere,jest. The recent conference of Hancock, Tilden and Watterson is yery suggestive, and 'Til den's declaration that Hancock was really his choice is not an idle utter ance. When this story was first printed, by a .mistake of tlie types Hancock's letter was said to have' been written to Gen. Sheridan, instead of Sherman. On this slight basis Gen. Hancock founded a denial, and the fact of his taking advantage of this small cover is not commented on to his advantage. Army officers here since the matter has been made public, confirm the state ment, and say Gen. Sherman received such a letter. Gen. Sherman himself comes in for criticism, because, having such ' a remarkable correspondence from a subordinate, he took no official steps to call Gen. Hancock to account. A lady at Columbus, Ohio, recently inquired of the spirit-nippers how many children she had? "Four rapped the spirit. The husband, startled at the accura-cj-of the reply, stepped up and inquir ed:' "How many children have I?" "Two!" answered the rapping medi um. The husband and wife looked at each other, with an odd smile on their faces, for a moment, and then retired non believers." There had been a' mistake made somewhere. "Jane," said he, "I think if you lift ed your feet away from the fire, we might have a little heat in the room." And they hadn't been, married two years either. . ' EALNTOETH'S mSSHTGSdJULJX . ' Her Skeleton Poundiinthe Den. of an .Enor mous .Black Snake. From the New York Sun. . ' "'West Uxion,- Adams Co., Ohio, June 22,-r-Ginger Ridge, a Tuggwl, ster ile upland, about six miles jiortltwest from here, is much excited .pver the killing of an enormous black snake which for several years has played lio vOc with the farmers flocks. Hogs, poul try, calves, sheep etc., have mysterious ly 'disappeared, always at night Two years ago a band of gypsies were camp- eu in tlie neighborhood, and they were accused of stealing the missing proper ty. John Rainforth, a fanner, who greatly suffered from these depreda tions, swore out a "yarrantj before 'Squire Peter Anns, and had several of them arrested. They had a prelimin ary examination, but nothing was proven against them, and they were discharged. , They went away mutter ing threats of vengeance. . ' Mr. Rainforth had a g61den-haired little daughter, 4 years old; whose beauty and -.sunny temper were the pride of her parents. On the day after the arrest of the gvpsies little Xellie Rainfdrth was missed. She was last seen playing on the edge of a rocky ridge, a short distance from the house. Search was made for her, but neither she nor tho. lamb was found. The Avhofe neighborhood was aroused, and men scoured the fields and woods for miles around. Mr. Rainforth suspec ted the gypsies .of abducting her qut of revenge for their arrest, and follow ed thq party across the Ohio River in to'Ldwis County, Ky. When he- came up with them they indignantly denied all knowledge of the child's where abouts, and a search of their camp fail ed to discover "h is little daughter, ne returned to his home broken-hearted. One day last week Mr. Rainforth was planting a field pf about twenty five acres, situated near his hpuse. He had not been at work long when he discovered what at first seemed to be a fresh furrow across the middle of the field. He stopped work and follow ed the track to a fence which separated the field from a dense thicke't of under brush. On the fence he found blood and some sheep's wool, which at once convinced him that tho body of a "sheep had been dragged across the fence. He went to his pasture and found that a large Colswold ram was missing. Accompanied by four or live neighbors, Mr. Rainforth made search for thq missing sheep. The track through the brush was marked by drops of blood and tufts of wool. About sixty rods from tlie fencg they came to a ledge of rocks, forming one side of a steep hilL, The track led directly to this ledge, in which was found an opening of sufficient size- to admit the body of a large man. A large charge of giant powder was ex ploded in the opening, and the rocks were, thrown asunder by the bhist. When the smoke cleared away" the farmers drew near and peered into the opening, aud there, among at least a wagon load of bones, lay a huge black snake, quivering from his hurt. The fanners waited until the snake was dead, and then .'tttqcheil a chain to his body ami dragged the monster out of the hole. He measured fifteen feet seven inches in length, and the biggest part of his body was over two feet in circumference. Ho had an ugly look ing head and enormous fangs, sharp as needles. The missing ram lay be side him, crushed out of shape, and1 covered with a sticky, glutinous sub stance. I visited the spot to-day. and saw tho monster snake. While I w:ls there men were at work clearing the den of bones. In a comer one of them picked up u human skull. It was small, like a child's and he brought it forward to the light. Mr. Rainforth was stand ing by my side, when the man came toward us with the skull in his hand. He glanced at it, and, staggering .against a tree, buried' his face in his hands and burst into tears. "Poor little Xellie," he cried, through his sobs." "My God, it is horrible!" After a time he controlled his feel ings and told me the story of his little daughter's mysterious disappearance two years ago. The bones of the little one were gathered together and bur ied in the family plotinthecpmetaryat West Union. The dicovery was kept from Mrs. Rainforth, for the poor woman has never ceased to mourn for her lost child, and her husband feared that this intelligence might seriously affect her; she being in delicate health. There can be no doubt as to the iden tity of the skeleton, for a gold chain j which she wore around her neck was found ampng' the bleeching bones. General Roger A. Pryor, speaking of the Cincinnati convention, is filled with admiration. He says, "Memora ble event!"' Unparalleled, indeed!" ne calls upon the patriotic Democra cy of New. York City "to search the annals pf classic republics, and tell him if such conduct be not unparalleled in the patriotism of Greece or Rome." There will probably be "a "corner" on "Greece"' while Rome will be? made to howl in the neighborhood of Xpw TorkFive Points, as classic literature is studied' under the advice of this Democratic orator." Tlful General Pryor told his audience to imitate the meth ods of his solid South, and buy them selves little shot-guns and convenient black-snake whips and study the beau ties of "tissue ballots," it would have been better understood and more easi ly put in practice, and more appropri ate and fitting for the occasion. Ploughing Deep. Judge Coulter, of Virginia, when first appointed lo the bench, had jurisdiction over one of the mountain Counties. The district was made up of many "wild and unruly fel lows. One of tlie Judge's first acts w;is to impose a heavy fine, by way of ex ample, upon a rough and hardy back woodsman, for disorderly conduct. As the man was leaving the court room in charge of an officer, he turned and ad dressed the Judge "Your name is Coulter, is it not?" "Yes." "Well, all I have to say is, that you are setting your coulter rather too deep for a man who is plowing new ground." A Boston physician announces that kissing is unhealthy. He was prob ably caught by his wife kissing the servant girl. , An' Incident of the "Wilderness." - i ... At the- close- of the first days .battle of tho Wilderness after Grant's passage, df the Rapidan, Gen. Lee, according to Pollard, Relieved that he had complete ly outwitted and beaten the new com mander that had ventured to measure wit and pluck with him. He called his Generals together, and after a. council in which those old soldiers- minutely congratulated each other upon the prospective foot race they were about to enjoy with the Yankees' backs in full view, the plan for tlie next day's work was agreed upon. The problem was how to best intercept the flight of " OL the Union army,, stnko it here and there in flank ami rear, and cut it to pieces before it could gain a place of Safety across the- river. Lee's orders Were given to Longstreet to make a " rapid march m one olirection, Hill in' another and. so-on, to start at tluifirst "crack of, day." . , 'On the o,ther side of tftVpipfceC line, Grant had also a meeting of Ins corps ' commanders. TlWve were- present MeaUe the nominal commander of the army, II;uicock, aud others. "Gentle men," said Grant, "what is your opin ion of the- situation, and the course to ' be pursued in this emergency?" And they all began to say that there- was. but one course to. pursue that was to, effect a retreat across the Kapidaa'as speedily as possible. "Put that in' writing,' gentlemen " replied the General. Hancock and the rest sat down and commenced writing; , out their elaborate professional opiji-. ions, that the only safety to the a'nny was an immediate' retreat. 'While they were drawing up theirbriefs of tho sit uation, Grant also Was busy .writing. When his generals were ready to hand him their productions, he had a sealed envelope addressed to each Piic -He handed them severally ttr the respect ive othcers. with the orderthat they; should have the reveille leaten at.two o'clock that morning, and when their columns should have heen "formed, to open their orders and act accordingly1. Each officer believe that he held in bis hand an order directing the method, tp . ment. On opening them, however they wero found to Jbe orders to ad vance and strike the army of Lee, on the left flank. . t . , At four o'clock that morningGeneral Lee rode- out AVith his staff to an enii-'' nence from which he. expected tosee the army of the Union making tracks for the Xorth. When he got there he . had thechargrin to see it in full march . around his left and toward Richmond. " He turned a little pale, and according to Pollard, who wis. than attached. ,to his staff in some capacity, ejaculated: "Gentlemen! the Yankees liaye got a general at last, and our cause is lost!" Seizing his writing tablet, Lee hastl-. ly penned orders to Longstreet, Hill and the other commanders he sent away on their wild goose chase, and started messengers on fleet horses to overtake and bring them back. For tlie rest of that campaign, Ave may be sure that Gen. Lee did not send out my detachments after a day s light to cut off or harrass Grant's retreatint forces. With Meade, Hancock, nooker. Bumside, McClellan, or any other of the prominent officer that had been with the Potomac army in command, the first day of the Wilderness woiild have passed down to history with Bull Run, Chaucellorsville, and Fredericks burg. With Grant at tho helm it was the first grip of a strong and crushing hand upon the armies of tho Southern confederacy. State Journal. "What is to be Done. 1.
