General Garfield's Letter of Accept
ance of the Republican
Nomination.
An Able IoeunicHt from an In
telligent MaH.
Mentok, O., 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 :
Mentoe, 0., July 10, 1SS0.
Dear Sir : On the e eening of the
8lh of June last1 had lho honor to
receive from you in the presence of
the committee, of which you were
chairman, the official announcement
that the republican national conven
tion at Chicago had that day nomi
nated me ah tbeir candidate for
president of the United States. I
accept the nomination with grati
tude for the confidence it implies
and with a deep pense of tho respon
sibilities it imposes. I cordially en
dorse the principles set forth in the
platform adopted by tbe convention.
Of nearly all of tbe subjects on
which it treats my opinions are on
record among the published pro
ceedings of rongresh. I will ven
ture, however, to make special men
tion of some of the principal topics
which are likely to become mibjects
of discussion. Without, recurring
to the controversy which has been
settled during the last 20 ears, and
with uo purpose or wish to revive
thepassions of the late war, it should
be said that while the republicans
lully recoguize and will etrenuout-ly
defend all (he rights reserved to the
6tatcs, they reject the pernicious
doctrine of state supremacy which
so long crippled the functions of the
national government aud at oue
tlmo brought the union very near
to destruction. They insist that the
United States is a nation, with am
ple powers of sclf-preservatiou ; that
its constitution aud the laws, made
in pursuance thereof, aro the su
preme law of the laud; 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 the
fundamental powers of government ;
.that the national laws relating to the
election of representatives in con
gress 6hall 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 potency of
his vote shall not be destroyed by
the fraudulent vote of any other
person. The best thoughts "aud en
ergies of our people should be di
rected to those great questions of
national well-being in which all
have a common interest. Such ef
forts will soonest restore to perfect
peace those who were lately in arms
sgaiust each other; for justice aud
good will are our last possessions.
But it is certain that the wounds of
the war cannot bo 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 every civil
aud political right guaranteed by
the constitution aud tbe 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, for all
the people and all tbe states are
members of ono body, and no man
can Buffer withont injury to all.
The most serious evils which now
afflict the sonth arise from the fact
that there is not such freedom and
toleration of political opinion and
action, so that tho minority party
can exercise effective and whole
some restraint on the party in pow
er. Without such restraint party
rule becomes tyrranical and corrupt.
Tbe prosperity which is made pos
sible in the south by its great ad
vantages of soil and climate will
never be realized until every voter
can freely and safely support any
party he pleases. Next in import
ance to freedom and justice is the
popular election, without which
neither justice nor freedom can be
permanently maintained, unless its
interests are intrusted to tbe states
and the voluntary action of the
poople. Whatever help the nation
can jnetly afford should be gener
ously given to aid tho states in sup
porting the common schools; but it
would be unjust to our people and
dangerous to our institutions to
apply any 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 absolnte. On the subject
of the national finances my views
have been so frequently and fully
expressed that little is needed in the
way of additional statement. Tbe
public debt is now so well secured,
and the rate of annual interest has
been reduced by refundiug, that
rigid economy in expenditures and
tbe faithfnl 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 tbe
financial chapter of the war. At the
same 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 defense. The re
sumption of specie payment, which
the republican party so courageous
ly and successfully accomplished,
has removed from tbe field of con
troversy manv questions that Ion?
end seriously disturbed tho credit of
tbe government and business of tbe
country. Our paper currency Is
now as national as the flag, and re
sumption has not only raado it
everywhere 'equal to coin, but has
brongbt'iuto use our store of gold
n4 nver. The circulating medium
Is more abundant than ever before,
we need onlv to maintain the equal
ity of onr dollars to insure to labor
and capital a measure of value from
tbe use of which none can suffer
loss. The great prosperity which
the country is now enjoying should
not be endangered by some violent
changes of doubtful financial ex-

employed in our great industries
compete fairly in our own markets
with the labor aud foreign produ
cers. We labor for the people of
the United States uot for the whole
world and it is our glory that tho
American laborer is moro intelli
gent and better paid than his foreign
competitor. But the country must
be independent unless its people
with their abundant natural resour
ces, produce the requisite skill in
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
sans, whose intelligence and skill
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 expenditure"! tor thnt 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 many mijlions of people that the
safety of its navigation requires ex
ceptional consideration, in order to
secure to the nation the control of
all its waters. President Jpfl'erson
negotiated tho purchase of a vast
territory extending from tbe Gnlf
of Mexico to the Pacific ocean. The
wisdom of congress should bt 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
nftiy safely carry the industrial pro
ducts of twenty-five millions of
poople. The interests of agricul
ture, which is tho basis of all our
material prosperity, aud in which
seven-twelfths of bur population is
engaged, as well as tho interests of
manufacturers and commerce de
maud 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 it
settlement aud the sentiments of our
people led "the government to offer
the widest hospitality to emigrants
who seek our shores tor new and
happier homes, willing to share the
burdetib as well as the benefits of
our society and intending that their
posterity shall become an undistin-.
guishable part of our population.
The recent movement of the Chinese
to our Pacific coast partakes but
little of the qualities of such an
emigration either in its purpose or
its results. It is too much 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 cougress 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 offices of.the government is
perhaps the most difficult of all the
duties which the constitution has
imposed upon the executive. Tbe
constitution wisely demands that
congress shall co-operate with the
executive departments in placing the
civil service on a better basis. Ex
perience has proved that with our
frequent changes of administration
no system of reform can be made
effective and permanent 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 iuvading the authority or
the necessary discretion of the ex
ecutive, congress should devise a
method that would devise the tenure
of office and greatly reduco 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 are best fitted for the
many offices to be filled requires an
acquaintance far beyond the range
of any one man. Tho executive
should therefore seek and rcccivo
the information and assistance of
those whoso knowledge of the.com
munities in which the duties are to
bo performed best qualifies them,
to aid them In taking the wisest
choice. .
Tho doctrines announced by the
Chicago convention are not tho
temporary devices of a party to at
tract votes and carry an election.
They arc deliberated convictions
resulting from a careful 6tudy 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
gnide my conduct until experience
points a better way. If elected, it
will be my purpose to enforce strict
obedience to tbe constitntion and
the laws, and to promote, as best I
may, the interest and honor of the
whole country, relying for support
upon the wisdom of congress, the
intelligence and patriotism of the
people and the favor of God.
With great respect, I am, very
trnly yours. J. A. Garfield.

GUNNING FOR NEGROES.
Th Terrible Crime IPcrpef rat
f d by Southern Kongli at
JoacNburo, Ga.
Within twenty miles of Atlanta
there occurred last night ono of the
most flagrant outrages recorded iu
the history of crime. The victims
were uuoffcudiug negroes, and the
perpetrators fifteen white roughs,
disguised by fiendish streaks of
black across their faces, and looking
in the glare of tho torches thoy car
ried, like veritable demons. The
circumstances of the ontrago are
almost too horrible to tell, and the
surroundings sickened your corres
pondent as he saw them. An aged
negro and his wife, with their gar
ments dyed with their own blood,
which a brutal beating had made to
gush from their flesh; a young
negress lying dead between her two
crying children, with a bullet in her
brain ; and a lad of sixteen groaning
in the agony of an awful pistol
wound in his side. Such a scene I
beheld in a poor log cabin, while
around it crowded a hundred
negroes, trying to aid and comfort
their afflicted friends aQd B fevv
kind-hearted white friends furnish
ing what they needed.
The history of tbe crime is as fol
lows : One year ago Joe Thompson
a negro fifty years old, was at work
on the farm of James McElroy, in
Fayette county. Johu Gray, Mc
Elroy's brother-in-law, came one
day into the field where Joe and his
son Bob were at work. He accused
Bob of stealing a plow from him.
Bob denied that he had done so.
Gray grew augry and struck the
bo) His father interfered to pre
vent him from boing beaten. Gray
then turned find severely beat the
old man, who could offer but a feeble
resistance. Joe left the place at
once, taking his family with him,
and obtained employment with Reu
ben Munday, in Clayton county,
where he now lives. He prosecuted
Gray for asault and battery. The
'Superior court fiued tho yflnng bull
dozer one hundred dollars and costs,
thus greatly outraging him and his
friends. Joe feared their vengeancej
but he had a good friend in Mr.
Munday, and all went well with him
until night before last. He was
asleep in his cabin with his wife by
his side. In the same room were
bis married daughter, Millie John
son, with her two ?mail children,
and Bob Thompson, tbe boy whom
Gray had struck In the field. About
midnight Joe was aroused by voices
in the yard. Peering through a
crack in the door he saw fifteen men
with half a dozen huge torches.
Nearly all of them were armed, and
on the face of each wore broad
streaks and splotches of soot to serve
as a disgnise.
Tbe old negro knew that he was
to be the victim of this mob, for
almost as soon as he had seen them
they rushed upon the door and
began to knock it in. Some of them
seized a log in the side of the cabin
and toro it from its place. Soon the
door was down and tho villains
were in and ready for their bloody
work. Two of them seized Joe
Thompson and dragged him out.
They held him down while a third
beat him with a stick nntil the blood
literally spouted'from his body. He
was left almost dead with deep
gasheB across his back and breast
and his bald head horribly cut. I
saw him next morning and the blood
was scarcely dry on the rough shirt
it had dyed with its deep crimson.
His old wife had suffered like
him. She was beaten by a ruffian
until she fell senseless to the earth.
As the mob continued thin infamous
work, young Bob arose from his bed
aud made a movement to help his
old parents. He was floored by a
shot which pierced his side near the
lungs. Millie Johnson lay in the
bed terrified almost to death. She
attempted to rise and was shot in
the head to fall back a corpse. Her
little children on cither side, clung
in terror to their dead mother for
protection.
After completing this outrage the
band moved off, and continned its
villainy firing into the house of
Clarke Goddard, a peaceable negro
living two miles further down tbe
road. Soon after this they met two
white men and threatened their
lives. Atlanta Correspondence Cin

A TroHlilntome Form of.Hnnla.
One of the most singular phase
of insanity is the development of
jealousy and unreasonableness in
married women. We know, of
course, of thousauds of cases where
women have actually many hard
ships to endure and whore they
have abundant cause to distrust the
honor and fidelity of their husbands ;
but there are cases where innocent
men are made to suffer terribly
through the mania of wives on cer
tain points, though in all other
matters perfectly loveable and rea
sonable. It is a well-known fact to
tbe medical school in which insani
ty is made a specialty that there is a
common form of mania known to
be a mania among married women
who "torture the lives" almost out
of the kindest and most faithful
huBbands. But tbe facts are not
generally known, and many women
of this class succeed in exciting a
great deal of sympathy, becanse
tbeir temperament is known to be
mild and their disposition genial
and congenial to far as the public is
concerned. , . -One
case, which was striking in
its character and which came under
the treatment of the Hartford re
treat for the insaue. is an illustratio:

in the Church, prominent in mit
sionary and Sunday school work,
and in all respecl6 a most estimable
Christian woman. She was loved
by everybody for her exceedingly
amiable qualities. But there was
this fault about her. When alone
with her husband she wojjld behave
in the most unreasoning manner.
He was doing business in the city of
New York, and passed from and to
his home daily. One freak of hers
was to demand in the morning,wben
the "evil spirit" was on, that he
would stay with her that day, and
declare that he was giving too much
attention to others and uegicng
her. He would tell her that he had
important engagements which must
be met, aud then she would fly into
a rage and threaten to kill herself
unless he complied with her wishes.
The poor man did not know what
to do. His business was pressing,
he could not neglect It, there was no
reason in his wife's demand ; aud
yet he feared if he left her she
would commit some dreadful act;
and so many days he remained at
home, the victim of torture inflicted,
by the mania of a woman who was
jealous even of his attention to busi
ness jealous of his attentions even
to her, though he was the kindest of
men, as everybody knew. Ho was
puzzled what action to take, because
he wa9 afraid that if he told the
actual truth about her, it would be
contradicted among those who had
only seen her iu company and ob
served the admirable Christian and
personal qualities she possessed.
At last he sent for her lather aud
mother and they came, aud he told
them all, and they remained about
the place quietly keeping out of
sight and watching. They saw
enough to convince them that she
was the victim of a mania, and then
upon their advice physicians were
called and it was decided to remove
her to Hartford. When she got
here she displayed as she had ev
erywhere excepting at home, the
most amiable and loveable disposi
tion to every one with whqjn she
came in contact, and to her husband
when he called with others to visit
her. There was nothing about her
conduct in public to indicate mania,
and yet there was no donbt of its
existence. Hartford Post.
Democracy and Republican
Ism. After twenty years of democratic
rule a loan of $18,000,000 exhausted
the market for six months.
After republican rule for twenty
years a loan of $150,000,000 wan
taken in a single day.
In twenty years we find an in
crease of population of 50 per cent.
An increase of agricultural ex
ports of 600 per cent.
An Increace in exports of bread
and breadstuff's of 650 per cent.
An increase of Internal commerce
of 700 percent.
An increase In railways from 31,
000 to over 82,000 miles.
Our foreign trade has increased
from $700,000,000 to $1,150,000,000.
Our exports, which were $20,000,
000 less than our imports in I860,
were $564,000,000 more than our im
ports in 1869.
The republican party since the
war closed besides paying the ex
penses of the government including
$30,000,000 of pensions, has paid $888,
000,000 of the public debt, which
was created by the very men who
are now trying to elect Hancock,
and reduced the annual interest from
$151,000,000 to $89,000,000.
No government is in better condi
tion or hasa better credit. The peo
ple are prosperous everywhere, la
bor is rewarded, our manufactures
increasing, our commerce growing.
The people ought to bo a happy peo
ple and satisfied with the present
condition of things. The democracy
kept your pathway strewn with
thorns and thistles. The republic
ans have plucked the thorns and
thistles and have planted flowors
there. Be careful not to pluck out
the flowers and replace the thistles
and thorns. John A. Looax.
Some people when they meet a
loss sit down despondent; others go
to work all the harder and make a
gain that more than covers the loss.
There is a good moral to the follow
ing: At the battle of Sbiloh an
officer rushed up to Geueral Grant
and said: "General, Swartz's bat
tery is took." "Well, sir," said
Grant, "you spiked the guns before
they were taken?" "Vat! Schpike
dem new guns? No Scheneral, it
would schpoil 'em." "Well, then,
what did you do ?" "Do ? Vy, we
went right in and took 'em back
again."
"You can't go back on the old
soldier,'' said a democrat the other
day to a one-legged veteran ; "yon
will vote for General Hancock,
won't you?'.' The crippled victim
of the 8olId South," pointed down
to his stump of a leg, and said, that
leg represents tbe Solid South." and
then, striking his left breast with
his clenched fist, added "and this
represents the loyal North." Tbe
democrat marched on ; he hadn't
any more questions to ask.

news. From a gen I Ionian whom we

had actually been agreed upon and
the details of the same all fixed, even
