AN INFAMOUS &I.ANDEU.
During the late presidential cam
paign the Omaha Herald was the most
indecent and virulent defamer of the
personal character and public record
of .Tamos A. Garllokl in this section of
the country. It's columns daily
teemed with the most malicious false
hoods respecting Mr. Oarfiold's ' con
gressional career a career which 1ms
gene down to history as one the pur
est and moat useful in our imtibnnl
nnnals and his very name was seldom
mentioned without the prefix of
fraud or hypocrite , or Do Ciolycr.
Even his long and wcnrisomo sickness
was ( heralded by Dr. Miller as a po
litical ruuo to catch votes in Now York
and gain the sympathy of the country
for his administration , mid the public
was informed on the professional
authority of the editor nf the Herald
that Mr. Hlaine wan delegated by the
president to perform the chief part in
a great farce whereby the country
was to bo gulled into sympathizing
over the pretended sickness of a con
valescent.
Hardly has the body of the nation's
dead boon committed to the grave ,
when the Herald , true to its instincts ,
takes up its slanderous attacks at the
point whcro it laid thorn down a few
wcnks since , and has the boldness to
print the following infamous slander
respecting the administration of
Jamoa A. Garfield :
The only distinct policy which the
late president had clearly defined and
avowed was the policy of putting
down Mr. Roscoe Conklintr as a
leader in the republican Israel , and
of putting up James G. Blaine.
The most inoss-backod and rock-root
ed bourbon journals in the cast would
blush to print such a lying and ma
licious statement. The policy out
lined by President Garfield and in
[ > rocosB of being carried into active
operation at the time of his assassina
tion was distinctively the broadest ,
most liberal and at the same time the
most1 aggressive of any since the iimo
when Abraham Lincoln was 'called
upon to grapple with the great politi
cal problems which were the out
growth of slavery and the war of se
cession. That policy as out-
ined in his inaugural address
was as follows : To maintain the su
premacy of the nation ; to protect the
citizenship of the negroes , to promote
: ho freedom and purity of the ballot ;
to aid in summoning all the constitu
tional powers of the nation and of the
states and nil the volunteer forces of
the people to meet the danger of il
literacy by the saving influence of uni
versal education ; " to defend specie
payments against any now revival of
[ irojudjco nnd. ignorance and refund
the public debt at low rates
of interest ; to assort the rights
of the United States to supervise any
intcrocoanic canal across the isthmus ; ,
to break up polygamy in Utah by the
aid of wise congrossisnal enactments ,
and to promote civil service reform
by.urqing congress tto-.pass a law to
fix the tonufns "of the .miner offices
of the aovorali.exccutivo 'departments ,
and proscribe'the ' , , grounds for 'which
removals should bo made. "
Such was the policy outlined by
President Garfield 'and the whole
country is united m the vojdiot that
no president accomplished so 'much
for the country in the line of administrative -
istrativo work in so short a time.
Calling to his assistance an ublo body
of advisors , ho broke up many serious -
ous abuses in the departments , crushed
out of existence the star route ring

most advantageous terms after congress -

MH. JAMEH' admirable business
management of the Now York post
ollico has boon fully maintained by
his successor , Poatmastor Pearson.
The returns just forwarded to Washington -
ington of the operations of the oflico
for the past quarter allow what ofll-
ck'iicy in the service can do , not only
for the patrons of the department but
also for the government. Since July
1 the oxponaca of the Now York oillco
were 8217,802 and the income § 927 , .

ernment of 73 ! > , 151) ) . There ia no
fact more euro than efficient
management of postolllcos in
the larger cities ia in the interest
I
of the merchants no less than that of
the departments. The success of
Postmaster James as a public officer
rested entirely on the fact that ho at
tended strictly to his business and
employed no subordinates who were
not equally competent and faithful in
the discharge of their duties. If the
merchants of Now York were com
pelled to perform the duties of postal
clerks in sorting the mail and return
ing it to their proper owners , as is
frequently the case in this city , wo
would probably hoar less favorable
report * of the institution and bo
called upon to record small receipts
nnd not rovonuo.
PRESIDENT Annum is determined
to use every effort to push to a speedy
termination the trials of the star-
route contractors , indicted for frauds
against the government. Information
has boon filed against Brady , Turner ,
French , McDonough and Brown , and
the prosecution will present six bills
of indictments before the 10th of the
cnrront month. During the whole of
the president's sickness , Attorney-
General MacVcagh has been steadily
accumulating a mass of evidence
against the accused parties which it is
said can not bo broken down. The
startling discovery has bean made
that District Attonioy Corkhill has
been in collusion with the ring with
the object of shielding thorn from
prosecution. President Arthur will
at once nominate a successor to Mr.
Corkhill , but in the mean time the
cases are in hands where they can not
bo mismanaged by bribery or quashed
by corruption.
SENATOU JONES , of Nevada , is rep
resented as saying that ho would not
accept any cabinet appointment
within the gift of the president. This
confirms the views expressed by THE
BEE concerning the report of the
probable appointment of Senator Jones
as secretary of the treasury. Senator
Zones could have had a position in
Gonoial Grant's cabinet , but his am
bition dons not tend in that direction ,
and his private business interests pro-
vnnt him from devoting his whole time
to public affairs. There is no doubt ,
however , that Senator Jones will
wield as much influence with Presi
dent Arthur and his administration as
any cabinet officer.
Ai.Tiiouoii there is now more coin
in circulation in this country than
Uicro was at any time within our his
tory , the volume of bank notes was
never so largo as now. The notion
that , under existing conditions , there
is no profit in national bank circula
tion is not supported by the history
of the banks at largo during
the past year. "Within twelve
months the not increase of
circulation has boon § 15,000,000 , or
at the rate of $1,250,000 , a month.
Over two-thirds of the gain has taken
place since last spring. The increase
IB divided between old and now banks
( fifty-two ) , with 55,700,000 capital ,
having organized within six months.
members ot the present
cabinet absolutely insist upon retiring
the present month , there will bo no
attempt to reorganize the cabinet un
til the regular session of congress in
docombor. There is , however , a very
strong probability that Windom and
Blaine will insist on being relieved
riqht away , and in that case the Pros-
idont'will ' send , the names of thojr
successors to the senate during the
special session.
DUN , WiMAM Cols. statements of
failures for the nine months ending
September 30 , 18&1 , indicates * a
marked increase in the number of

ties eVer the corresponding period of
last year : The greatest proportion of
the increase comes from the south.

1A S ' " t
Blvor Improvement Convention.
St. I/onln Ikpulillcnn
The approaching convention to
consider the subject of improving the
Mississippi river U a movement of
much greater importance to the states
of the west than many , perhaps most ,
people comprehend. It may prove of
great consequence as wolllfor what it
shall fail to do as for what it may
actually do. The greatest drawback
in prosecuting the work of an im
provement of the great river of the
union has been the want of a fixed
plan sufficiently comprehensive to
moot the needs of the vast commerce
of this valley. The details of method
in curbing and confining the channel ,
though important , are not now allud
ed to , but the scope and thorough
ness of the work needed is that which
has not been settled in the minds of
oven wcstoni legislators. The idea
that the great alluvial bottoms skirt
ing the Mississippi river throughout
its course , from its source to its
mouth cannot bo reclaimed , or , being
reclaimed , cannot bo secured against
the annual floods , and that the banks
and levees which ought to protect
them cannot be made as permanent as
the very hills , must bo eradicated
from the minds of those who _ move in
the cause of this valley.
The Hollanders reclaimed a
country from the very ocean itself.
The banks of the Missouri river have
been fixed through stretches of miles
at some of the most difliclt places , and
thu current of the stream , in its most
aggressive and treacherous moods ,
held in perfect control. There is
nothing about the proposition to fix
the channels of these streams which
is cither impossible or doubtful. Its
perfect success requires only the ap
plication of sufficient means such
means as the object fullf justifies the
use of. This permanent establish
ment of the banks and currents means ,
of course , a perpetual reliable deep
channel and easy , safe and cheap
navigation. A permanent channel
filled with the confined waters of the
Missouri and Missippi rivers means
always ample depth and safe navi-
iration. Shallow water nowhere ex
ists on those rivers , or either of them
in the lower portions whore there is
no shifting or diversion of the cur-
routs.
These uro the foundation truths
which 'must underlie all proper and
adequate efforts for government aid.
Any application for assistance can
bo plausibly resisted if based on any
other ground , aa a scheme for the
investment of the public treasure
in temporary and perishing works
not justifying the national attention.
'Worth Inquirlnc Into.
San Francisco Chronicle.
The Tombstone Nugget expresses
the opinion that the recent outbreak
of Apaches in Eastern Arizona was , in
popular parlance , a "put-up-job" In
the interest of the Southern Pacific
railroad. In the letrion of the alleged
disturbance there are valuable coal
lands , which the railroad company de
sires to acquire. Those lands , being
a portion of the Indian reservation ,
are not subject to location and occu
pancy by the whites. An offer of § 40
per Indian , made by the railroad com
pany for the lands , was promptly re
jected. Immediately aiterwarda occurred -
curred a great hullaballoo ; ' quite a
number of soldiers , settlers nnd In
dians were killed ; troops poured in
with greater promptness than is usual
ly ] the case when merely the interests
of the public are to bo subserved , and
now newspapers in Arizona which are
presumed to bo friendly to the railroad
company , have raised a loud outcry for
t"-o removal o ; the Indians. The
history of the owners of the South
ern Pacific railroad is such
that suspicions of the above
nature are naturally aroused. The
matter should bo investigated , for
human life has been sacrificed , and
alarm has pervaded every quarter of
Arizona. If military officers partici
pated in tlio plot , and sent false re
ports and telegrams , as many persons
believe , they should bo court-mar
tialed for so doing. In spite of the
selfish plans of the railroad company ,
however , it would doubtless bo wiao
to remove the Indiana from the terri
tory. Their presence is a constant
menace to peaceful settlers and min
ors ,

How Gnrfleld'a Body Was Em-
lmlmol <
Niw York Star.
In the laigo dissecting room on the
upper floor of the University medical
college , opposite the Bellevue hospi
tal , a Star reporter yesterday found
James Walsh , the ombaltncr of the
body of the late president. Ho was
engaged by Bennett , the undertaker ,
to whom his reputation "was well
known , Mr. Walsh has boon con
nected for epvoral years with the Uni
versity medical college , where ho su
perintends the preparation and pres
ervation of bodies for dissection , Ho
has been well known for years as a
successful embalmer , and among the
many bodies ho has embalmed ore
those of Rov. Father Daly , of St.
Vincent Ferrer's church , the body of
Rev. Dr , Washburn , whoso funeral
services were hold five months after
death , and that of the wife of Gen.
H. Day.
Mr. Wahhyarrivod at Elboron at
12t50 ; p. m. on Tuesday. Half an
hour later ho injected the body from
the left femoral artery upward and
downward in order to prepare it for
the post mortem examination. Im
mediately > after the examination ,
which was begun at i > ; 30 p , m. and
lasted until 7:30 : p. in. , Mr. Walsh
commenced thn work of embalming.
With a preparation invcntrd by him
self ho injected the lower extremities
through the external iliac arteries.
The arms were injected through
the subclarian arteries and the
body through the right com
mon carotid artery. It was not
necessary to open the latter at the
neck , as the opening previously made
for the examination sufficed. The
embalming process was begun at 7:30 :
p. m. and was completed in two hours
and a half. No ice is therefore used
to preserve the body during its IOIIK
journey to its last homo , the process
having been complete and successful
to the extreme.
Mr , Walsh had never scon the pres
ident during lifo , but ho says the body
did not seem very emaciated when
the length of time ho had been suffer
ing ia considered.
THE MOTHER.
A Letter front Mrs. Qon. Fremont.
To the Editor ot the New York Hentd.
Making visits in Washington one
day , in the spring of 1870,1 returned
that of Mrs. Garfield , and , after ge-
ing into her house , I was a little put
out to be told by the servant that "it
was a mistake , for Mrs. Garfield was
out. " March weather is so rough in
Washington that a throat subject to
bronchitis flinches from passing from
the shelter of the carriage across
those wide , wind-swept pavements in
to the warm houses and back again
oftcnor than necessary. So when the
servant ran down to ask that I would
come in again , that "tho general's
mother had read the card and wished
to see me , " I wont back , chiefly
moved by the habit of never willingly
disappointing a child or nn aged person.
Little children bcliove in the treed will
of every one , while the old what
disappointments have they not mot !
I was glad then that I did go back.
Now , the historical picture that visit
gave mo makes mo spcaV this word
for the mother of General Garfield.
Mrs. Garfield wished to see and
know mo because of "my ( her ) son's"
( such tender pride in the little words ! )
deep interest in the work for the
cause we all had done our best for in
1859 and had continued to work for
until the war closed that chapter of
the nation's history.
She was very small nnd quiet , but
full of fresh interest in the clear
knowledge of events and men , and un
derstood largo motives ; a woman uho
had shared the lifo of a growing man
and a growing nation. Turning to
more personal topics and the bringing
up of boys , which she dwelt on as so
much the mothers work , Mrs. Garfield -
field told us of her own "good son. "
I had with mo a Now York friend ,
still young and only knowing surface
conventional life. Her eyes were wet
as this mother told quite simply and
as matter of course of her lonely
early lifo and its struggles and priva
tions , and now of the exceeding great
regard she had in "my son's" success
and his loving care for her ; of the
place lie gave her in his life , and in
this new homo where all the war
and dangers safely ended they wore
to dwell together in peace.
Just then General Garfield himself
entered. Hearing I was there ho
cam ? in to see me , going first , how
ever , to his mother and giving her the
evidently accustomed kiss of greeting ,
and , still holding her hand , thanked
mo for "coming back to please his
mother. "
So I BOO them. The little gray
mother at rest in the love of a good
son ; she so frail and spent with the
battle of life ; ho so nobly strong and
bright and glad.
It did not look so when I saw him
next , this last May , when the Farragut
statue was unveiled. The light had
gene out ; both form and face wore
stamped with endurance and hard re
solve , in place of the bright , spontan
eous courage so marked on his earlier
face. When a man has been the target -
got for the poisoned arrows of a Pres
idential campaign , ho may bo as stoical
as an Indian , but the scar remains.
And this marked change was still
more noticeable the last time I saw
the president the 17th of June. Wo
now know that the folio wing morning ,
the 18th of Juno , had boon originally
fixed by his assassin as the time for
his act. That morning I , too , loft
Washington on the same train. How
unconscious wo all were of the close-
lying tragedy !
Something had to bo referred
to the president , nnd I had gene
down to see it through the necessary
departments , ending with an appoint
ment from the president' "tor 4
o'clock this afternoon. " I was there' '
punctually when the president came
in and dropped not sat down , but
lot himself go into an armed chair ;
n fixed sadness was on his face , and
the lossot _ all rod tinge from the skin
made me toll him I was glad they
were both going away fiom that un
healthy house. Mrs. Gaifield's dan
gerous illness had , I knew , gicatly
grieved him. Beyond that i\as n
look of
O , life ! how little worth !
( ) weary , weaiy earth !
the look of one who Ins got behind
the scones and counts the cost and
finds it groat.
The rest by the sea at fated Elboron
restored much of his own manner and
look , but I did not see him again. To
me ho remains as I saw him the first
and the last times the fond good son ,
holding the hand of his little mother ,
and pleased with one who had given
her a pleasure , and the considerate
gentleman who , out of his troubled
and crowded time , had sent for mo
that ho might say personally what
might have been put in writing ,
From the outside no one can judge ,
but it seems like mistaken kindness
that mother and son should have boon
opart when the end came. What if
it should end his feeble lifo ? She had
never counted the cost of being a
mother. For myself I would have
batter liked that the mother heart
that answered to his every baby cry
had boon beside him when his great
heart broke ; that the hand I had seen
so fondly oustrotchod to hers should
imvo found hers also when lie was
reaching out into the great darkness.
This family lias been long held un
der the burning glass of public inspec
tion , Out of the scrutiny has come
one unbroken impression of respect
and tendeiest pity , Their uprightness
and simplicity , their united and
blameless domestic life , their genuine
Christian silence and dignity have
roused to expression the best under
lying feeling of our whole country ,
and found response throughout the
world most beautifully from Eng
land. It wns a good thought to take
from death the added sting of pover
ty , and the original sum named has
been more than made up. The
power of the American people
plo rarely finds expression. Its
usual form is only a delegated power
through their representatives ; but
where they can act directly the ex
pression is singularly tnto nnd forci
ble. Often our nation has shown it
has the heart to feel and the hand to
give , but never has it expressed itself
BO unitedly and so overwhelmingly as
now , And I am sure I speak the
feeling of many and many a son when
I suggest that a part of the remaining
gift of the people should bo sot asiau
For the venerable mother of our dead
president. Looking back past the
agony , past the conflict of power-
bock to the q'uict time when I saw
him in his homo with his mother , I
realize how this would meet his fool
ing , Ho is beyond our aid. But
there comes before mo clearly the
bright , frank manner of his saying ,
"Thank you for giving a pleasure to
my mother. "
JESSIE BENTON FIIEMONT.
POETRY OP THE TIMES.
Rosponio.
You say that wo women arc fickle ,
And fond of having our way ;
That wo act from Impulse , not reason.
It's true , I'm sorry to say.
But then we love on , O so blindly ,
And hope why , we hbpc to the last.
Should we measure our lo\c by calm ten-
son ,
It might be a thing of the past.
It might be , and yet I've discovered ,
That women lo\e on for all tinio
No matter how deep is the sinning ,
No matter how dark is the rrinie.
And mothers God bjess them forever !
There's nothing their lo\o cannot do ;
I dare the whole world to bring hither
A mother whose heart is untrue.
The birds build a new nest each summer :
IB it leoson or impulse ? I ask ?
We love because wo love blindly ;
You reuson , and find it a task. ,

The Dnbnqno Bride.
A damsel who lived iu Dubuque
Was ambitious to marry a duque ;
But as none came to woo her ,
She accepted a pooher
Young fellow whose first namewus Luque.
The bride was led up the broad aisle ,
Got tin in the most killing stnisle ;
When asked if she'd be
A true wife to he ,
She promptly replied , "I should smaisle. "
