General Garfield's Letter of Accept
ance of the Republican
Nomination.
An Able "Document from an In
telligent JIan.
Mentor, 0., July 13, 1 a. m.
General Garfield has forwarded the
following letter of acceptance of the
nomination tendered him by the re
publican national convention to Sen
ator Hoar, of Massachusetts :
Mentor, O., July 10, 1880.
Dear Sir: Ou the erening of tne
Sth of June la6t, I had the honor to
receive from you in the presence of
the committee, of which you were
chairman, the official announcement
ttiat thc-republicau national conven
tion at Chicago had that day nomi
nated me as their candidate for
president of the United States. I
accept the nomination with grati
tude for the confidence it implies
and with a deep sense of the respon
sibilities it imposes. I cordially en
dorse the principles set forth in the
platform adopted by tho convention.
Of nearly all of the subjects on
which it treats my opinions are on
record among the published pro
ceedings of congress. I will ven
ture, however, to make special men
tion of some of the principal topics
which are likely to become subjects
of discussion. Without recurriug
to the controversy which has been
settled during the last 20 years, and
with no purpose or wish to revive
the passions of the late war, it should
be said that while the republicans
fully recognize and will strenuously
defend all the rights reserved to the
states, they reject the pernicious
doctrine of state supremacy which
eo long crippled the functions of the
national government and at ono
time brought the union very near
to destruction. They insist that the
United States is a nation, with am
ple powers of self-preservation ; that
its constitution and the laws, made
in pursuance thereof, aro the su
preme law of the land; that the
right of the nation to determine the
method by which its own legislature
shall be created cannot be surren
dered without abdicating one of tho
fundamental powers of government ;
that the national laws relating to the
election of representatives in con
gress shall neither be violated or
evaded; that every elector should
be permitted freely and without in
timidation to cast his lawful vote at
such an election and have it honest
ly counted, so that the potencv of
his vote shall not be destroyed by !
the fraudulent vote of any other '
person, llic best thoughts and en
ergies of our people should be di
rected to those great questions of
natioual well-being in which all
have a common interest. Such ef
forts will sootiest restore to perfect
peace those who were lately in arms
against each other, for justice and
good will are our last possessions.
But it is certain that the wounds of
the war cannot be completely healed
and the spirit of brotherhood cannot
fully pervade the whole country
until every citizen, rich or poor,
white or black, is secure in the free
and equal enjoyment of even civil
and political right guaranteed by
the constitution and the laws.
Wherever the enjoyment of these
rights is not assured discontent will
prevail, immigration will cease aud
the soil and industrial forces will
continue to be disturbed by the mi
gration of laborers and the conse
quent diminution of prosperity.
The national government should
exercise all its constitutional au
thority to put out these evils, lor all
the people and all the states are
members of one body, and no man
can sutler without "injury to all.
Tho most serious evils which now
afflict the south arie from tho fact
that there is not such freedom aud
toleration of political opinion aud
action. so that the minority party
can exercise cflective and whole
some restraint on the party in pow
er. Without such restraint party
rule become? t rrauical and corrupt.
The prosperity which is made pos
sible in the south by its great ad
vantages of soil and cliujate will
never be realized until every voter
can freely aud safely support any
party he pleases. Next hi import
ance to freedom and justice is the
popular election, without which
neither justice nor freedom can be
permanently maintained, unless its
interests aro intrusted to the states
and the voluntary action of tho
people. Whatever help the nation
can justly afford should be gener
ously given to aid the states in sup
porting the common schools ; but it
would be unjust to our people aud j
dangerous to our institutions to
apply an portion of the resources
of the nation or the states for sup
port of sectional schools. The sep
aration of the church and the state
in everything relating to taxation
should be absolute. On the subject
of the national finances my views
have been so frequently and fully
exprossed that little is needed in the
way of additional statement. The
public debt is now so well secured,
and the rate of anuual interest has
been reduced by refunding, that
rigid economy in expenditures -and i
the faithful application of our sur
plus revenues to the payment of the
principal of the debt will gradually
and certainly free the people from
its burden and close with honor the
financial chapter of the war. At the
game time the government can pro
vide for all ordinary expenditures
and discharge it sacred obligations
to the soldiers of the Union and to
the widows and orphans of those
who fell in its defeusc. The re
sumption of specie payment, which
the republican party so courageous
ly and successfully accomplished,
has removed from the field of con
troversy many questions that -long
and seriously disturbed the credit of
the government aud business of the
couutry. Our paper currency is
now as national as the flag, and re
sumption has not only made it
everywhere equal to coin, but has
brought into use our store of gold
aud silver. The circulating medium
is more abundant than ever before,
we need only to maintain the equal
ity of our dollars to iusure to labor
aud capital a measure of value from
the use of which none can suffer
loss. The great prosperity which
the country is now enjoying should
not be endangered by some violent
chauges of doubtful finaucial ex
periments. In reference to our custom laws,
a policy should be pursued which
will bring revenue to the treasury
and will enable labor and capital
employed in our great industries
compete fairlv iu our own markets
with the labo'r and foreign produ
cers. Wo labor for the people of
the United Stales, not for the whole
world aud it is bur glory that, the
American laborer is more intelli
gent and better paid than his foreign
competitor. But thm country must,
bo independent unless its people
with their abundant natural resour
ces, produce tho requisite skill hi
war time to clothe, arm and equip
themselves for war, and in times of
peace produce all the necessary im
plements of labor. It was the man
ifest intention of the founders of
our government to provide for the
common defense, not by standing
armies alone, but by raising among
the people a greater army of arti
san:, whose intelligence and Bkill
should powerfully contribute to the
safety and glory of the nation. For
tunately for the interests of com
merce, "there is no longer any for
midable opposition to appropriations
for improvements of our harbors
and great navigable rivers, provided
that the expenditures for that pur
pose are strictly limited to works of
national importance. The Missis
sippi river, with its great tributa
ries, is of such vital importance to
so raauy millious of people that the
safety of its navigation requires ex
ceptional consideration, iu order to
secure to the nation the control of
all its waters. President Jefferson
negotiated the purchase of a vast
territory extending from the Gulf
of Mexico to the Pacific ocean. The
wisdom of congress should be in
voked to devise some plan by which
that great river shall cease to be a
terror to those who dwell upon its
banks, and by which its shipping
may safely carry tho industrial pro
ducts of twenty-five millions of
people. The interests of agricul
ture, which is the basis of all our
material prosperity, and in which
seveu-twelflhs of our population is
engaged, as well as the interests of
manufacturers and commerce de
mand that the facilities for cheap
transportation shall be increased by
the use of all our great water
courses. The material interests of
our country, the traditions of if
settlement and the sentiments of our
ptfople led the government to oiler
the widest hospitality to emigrant
who seek our shore lor new and
happier homes, willing to share the
burdens as well a the benefits ot
our society and intending th.it their
posterity shall become an utulistin
guishable part of our population.
The recent movement of the Chinese
to our Pacific coast partakes but
little of tho qualities of 'such an
emigration either in its purpose or
its results. It is too mnrh like an
importation to be welcomed with
out restrictions; too much like an
invasion to be looked upon without
solicitude. We cannot consent to
allow any form of servile labor to
be introduced among us under the
guise of immigration. Recognizing
the gravity of this subject, the pres
ent administration, supported by
congress, has sent to China a com
mission of distinguished citizens for
the purpose of securing such moder
ation of the treaty as will prevent
the evils likely to arise from the
present situation. It is confidently
believed that these negotiations will
be successful without the loss of
commercial intercourse between the
two powers which promises great
increase of reciprocal trade and the
enlargement of our markets. Should
these efforts fail it will be the duty
of congress to mitigate the evils
already felt and prevent their in
crease by such restrictions as with
out violence will place on a proud
foundation the freedom and dignity
of labor. The appointment of citi
zens to the various executive and
judicial ofiices of the government is
perhaps the most difficult of all the
dutie? which the constitution has
imposed upon the executive. The
constitution wisely demands that
congress shall co-operate with the
executive departments in placing the
civil service on a belter bais. Ex
perience has proved that with our
frequent changes of administration
no sstem of reform can be made
effective aud pcrmaneut without the
aid of legislation. Appointments
to the military and naval service are
so regulated by law and customs as
to leave little ground for complaint.
It may not be worse to make similar
regulations in civil service, but
without invading the authority or
the necessary discretion of tho ex
ecutive, congress should, devise a
method that would devise the tenure
of office and greatly reduce the un
certainty which made that service
so uncertain and unsatisfactory
without depriving any officer of his
rights as a citizen. The government
should require him to discharge all
his official duties with intelligence,
efficiency and faithfulness. To se
lect wisely from our vast population
those who arc best fitted for the
many offices to be filled requires an
acquaintance far beyond the range
of auy oue man. The executive
should therefore seek and receive
the information and assistance of
those whoso knowledge of the com
munities in which the duties are to
be performed best qualifies them,
to aid them In taking the wisest
choice.
The doctrines announced by the
Chicago convention are not the
temporary devices of a party to at
tract votes and carry an election.
The are deliberated convictions
resulting from a careful stud of the
spirit of our institutions, the course
of our history, and the best impulses
of our people. In my judgment
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 enforce strict
obedience to tho constitution and
the laws, and to promote, as best I
may, the interest and honor of the
whole couutry, relying for support
upon the wisdom of congress, the
intelligence aud patriotism of the
people and tho favor of God.
With great respect, I am, very
truly yours. J. A. Garfield.

The silvery moon keeps solitary
viyil above the waving tree-tops.
The stars, like clusters of brilliants,
gem the convave of heaven. Far
away, tho misty hills cast spectral
shadows above the dew-damp earth,
and seems the boundaryof the little
world within our narrow range of
vision. All nature is at rest, and
peace like an angel has folded her
white wings low over the quiet
world.
Saturday night I aud with it comes
the record of another week, sacred
to each individual heart, and woe to
those who would penetrate to the
shrine when none ejse may come to
worship. Here, we find ambition,
thirsting for power, weaving out
I her noblesc impulses, loftiest aims,
holiest purposes in the ceaseless
struggle to win the approval of the
multitude, who grauts grudgingly
the prize your 'efforts have well
won, and hesitates not to deprive
you of your laurels at the first op
portunity. Bright hope, sweeping
her trustiug votaries alone at the
full tide of the resistless eloquence
of imagination, dreaming of fair
flowers that will fade in the first
flush of lovelieness, of liigli summits
to be scaled, bright tints of the raiu
bo vs to be caught and bound into
garland to decorate fair brows.
High honors, that, alas, are empty,
until at. last, the insatiable heart
finds that he who toils alone for
praise, who iu selfish blindness shuts
out this truth that early dawns upon
tho soul, that he who would achieve
a uamo both great aud good, must,
at whatever cost, fulfill his highest
ideal of right, nor, iu the race for
popularity prove untrue to himself,
by never during to speak the con
victions of the soul, becoming a
slave to man'rt opinion, until every
sense of right aud wrong, every sen
timent and conviction is made to do
service in I ho quest tor fame, and
that which is highest, grandest, nev
er realized never reached, aud, at
last, find, after a life spent in toil
and care and earnest thought, only
a miserable failure an empty name.

l trembling and faltering amid dotibt-
ful forebodiugsaud flattering hopes,
groveling in the dust of doubt and
fear, or rising on exultant wing,
soaring above the trials of life and
basks in the sunlight of perfect
peace, with heart at rest, and recon
ciled to God. And hearts that arc
clasping the glittering form of pride,
thinking the struggle over with the
irrevocable choice, feigning forget
fulncss, but gazing continually on
the golden sunlight, the songful
birds, the melting influence that
made life a radiant dream, the world
an eden, until the resolution loses
the heroism with which it was in
vested, and the sacrifice stands shorn
of the worth of nobleness.
Where are the hearts that are
opened to the spell of memory this
Saturday? Hearts, that for long
years have tried, in vain, to forget.
See, the dark hair has many a thread
of silver, and there are unmistaka
ble lines of care on tho white brow,
worn Btlll deeper on tho faithful
heart, whose earthly hopes were
bound, in oue. There are eyes as
bright, smiles as soft aud sougs as
sweet, perhaps, in the home circle
among those whom ho has vowed to
love and trust, but something in this
quiet Saturday night has brought
back from its grave the beauty and
grace of other days. He hears a
voice so low and sweet, long since
silent. Feels the clasp of tiny
hands, now, lolded in their dimpled
beauty over a bosom that pulsated
with warmth aud life. He catches
a taint subtle perfume that fills his
soul with a delicious sense of rest
and happiness, aud he sees a pair of
eyes looking into his aud the golden
curls have become strangoly tangled
around his heart.
Ah! dreamer, linger a moment
longer in this blissful realm of ret
rospection. Wait until the rebel
lious heart has ceased its wild
tumultuous beating, learned to close
and lock its inmost thoughts within
itself. Moments like these are few
this side of heaven, so guard them
well. They seem the bearer of light
and hope to weary hearts, and
when the tired feet shall take the
last long journey far up the shilling
way where the loved ones wait,
perhaps that which has been so
sadly missed from this life, shall be
found there, and sweeter, far, be
cause of life's great sacrifice.
Ah! what would earth be with
out the blissful hours of backward
glancing upon the graves that con
tain so many, many hearts. They
come with music to cheer and bless
when clouds hang heaviest aud life's
pathway is dimmed with tears, aud
casts aside the dreary burden for a
time.
Gaze lightly, curious one, judge
not too harshly. Beneath that chill
ed exterior a heart writhed in tor
meut, aud those careless words may
reach the vulnerable spot, and cause
the life blood to ooze slowly drop
by drop from the festering wound
that sorrow has left deep aud last
ing, and, like the wounded bird
whose song is sweetest while the
heart is breaking, they wait in seem
ing patience for the summons of the
destroyer whose pathway leads
adown the shores to the passionless
depths of the viewless sea that ebbs
and flows between us and eternity.

Two brief articles have been pre
pared and published, and loft stand
ing in the Journal, relative to
Nebraska, its advantages and pro
ducts. One more short article must
close tho scries for this season.
To persons wlio never saw a prai
rie country, to look over it is rather
an interesting sight; as a general
thing the absence of timber gives to
it the appearance of wasto and bar
renness to those who arc accustomed
to livo in a timbered couutry. Tim
ber of every kiud common to this
latitude can be cultivated on the
prairies of Nebraska. Near the wa
ter courses and river bluffs a large
quantity of trees are generally found
growing in great luxuriance,
Among the varieties found in such
localities are cottonwood, box-elder,
buckeye, maple, locust, ash, hickory,
oak, willow, poplar, sycamore, wal
nut, pine and cedar. The shrubs
include common juniper, pawpaw,
prickly ash, sumacs, red root, spin
dle tree, plum, currants and goose
berries, dogwood, butter bush, buffa
lo berry, mulberry and hazlenut.
Cedars are found on the islands of
the Platte, and along tho Loup, and
on the Niobrara there is a large
quantity of pine.
But the interesting point we want
to make is the fact that all this
yariety of trees will grow and flour
ish on the prairie, and that as much
timber as may be needed by each
farmer can be raised on his farm.
It is not a little surprising to know
that the early travelers, and, among
others, Gen. Fremont, should have
formed the opinion that tho prairies
of Nebraska were a sandy desert,
unsnited for farming purposes, when
in these times it has been examined
by competent judges and pronounc
ed without any hesitation to be a
region which is to be tho great graiu
and stock -producing area of the
continent. Men don't make bread
of sand, and they don't, as a general
thing, settle in such localities. The
United States cover 23 degrees of
latitude ; away to the frozen north,
and down to the semi-tropic south.
With all this choice, from the be
ginning of western settlement the
great current of movement has been
within a central belt five or six de
grees in width, and nearly corres
ponding with the latitudinal length
of Illinois, which lies between 3C
degrees, 50 minutes and 424 degrees.
This is the belt in the Uuitcd States
in which industry obtains the most
certain and highest rewards. It is
temperate in climate and a man
can work up to his best notch. The
laud is fruitful, and bears in great
abundance those products which are
necessaries of life, and which there
fore have a steady commercial value.
The population of Nebraska in the
beginning of 1850 was 10,710, and at
the close of 1875, 259,912, which was
a twenty-five-fold increase in twen
ty years.
Corn in Nebraska is most bounti
ful in production; with fair cultiva
tion the yield is from 50 to 00 bush
els per acre. Wheat from 15 to 25
bushels per acre. Barley from 30 to
40 bushels. Rye 25 to 30 bushels.
Oats 40 to 50 bushels. A country
which is adapted to tho raising of
corn; small grains; good for grass
and hay, and has at all times a fa
vorable climate, must be a good
location for stock-raising. Live
stock is in great demand the civilized
over, and it is in live stock the far
mer finds a great deal of his wealth.
It has been demonstrated among
the Nebraska farmers that mixed
farming is the most profitable, there
fore every farmer should combine
grain and stock raising. In fact
every farmer that has carried cattle
upon his farm and handled them
with judgment for any length of
time i9 now enjoying the rich profits
of his investment and labor. Look
around among your neighbors aud
in every case where money has been
invested in stock and handled with
care it has brought tho largest in
crease in dollars and ccntB to those
who have invested. And there is
room in Nebraska for hundreds of
thousands more farmers.
Haucoclc Crucified.
Denver, Col., July 21. Hon. R.
W. Thompson, secretary of the navy,
delivered a speech hero last night.
He read a letter of General Hancock
written to the Hon. S. T. Glover, of
St. Louis, July 17, 18G8, endorsing
the platform and candidates of tho
democratic party that year, which
platform declared all the constitu
tional amendments, the enfranchise
ment of the negro, and the entire
work of reconstruction null aud
void. The letter also endorsed
Frank Blair's letter to Broadhcad,
advocating seuding the army south
to undo the work of reconstruction.
Thompson said Haucock was sent
south by Audy Johu60n to nullify
the acts of congress, and his order
No. 40 was intended to put rebels
ou top and loyal men at the bottom.
Grant refused to permit that order
to be executed, aud Haucock left
New Orleans iu a mill'. Since the
war those are the only prominent
points in Hancock's history. He
paid a high compliment to Haucock
as a soldier, but declared that he is
no statesman.
There is a woman in Wisconsiu
who has been married fifty-eight
years, aud who has never missed
building the kitchen fire. Her hus
band is probably the oldest fire
escape ou record.
Educated by Government, fed and
clothed by Government, promoted
by Government, and coddled in a
good Government office from boy-:
hood to old ago, that, in brief, is
Gen. Hancock's experience. Ed
ucated by his own earnest efforts
and bitter self-denial, teaching oth
ers as he had been taught, fighting
for his country as a pleasure and
duty, uot as a profession, represent
ing his people bravely, wisely, aud
well, niue ' terms in Congress,
that, in brief, is the experience of
Gen.. Garfield. Which has shown
the better stuff, the higher capacity
for self government, and 60 for tho
government of others, the greatest
versatility, the widest knowledge of
human nature, the truest sympathy
with the people? Ex.

The commissioners of Greeley
county met last-week to investigate
the recent alleged safe robbery. Af
ter an investigation they demanded
a settlement with the treasurer, and
on his refusing, they declared the
office vacant and appointed his suc
cessor. Mr. Sheldon refused to
give up the keys or books of the
office, and the commissioners have
applied for a writ of quo warranto
to compel hint to show cause why
he will not do so. We do not know
who is to blame, but if reports be
true Greeley county's financial de
partment is not in a very good con
dition, and the prospects are tiiat
some interesting litigation will fol
low. Howard Co. Advocate.
Senator Matt II. Carpenter says:
"The people will find that the 'su
perb soldier' is a superb looking
fellow, and there the matter will
rest, while our man bristles all over
with a brilliant personal history and
an illustrious military and legisla
tive career. There is nothing about
him that can be assailed, aud all the
fire they can blnze at him will be
of no avail. The Grant men will
stand by Garfield tho same as they
stood by Grant at Shiloh and Vicks
burg, and, later still, under Logan
and Conklittg at Chicago. They are
patriots, and will never retreat from
the enemy."
