Mr. Ulaino'n eulogy on the life nn labors of President Garfield , to whic THE UKE gives up n largo portion c its space to-day , will bo road wit more than usual interest throughot the entire country. While unmarke by that floridness of style nnd woalt of diction tOuch is characteristic of a many of Mr. Ulaino'sbrilllantspooche in debate in the house of represent ! lives , the tribute of the cx-accrolnr to his late chief is in every wn worthy of its subject nnd approprial to the circumstances under which was delivered. The portion to Which mont attci tion will bo elitcctcd is that whic deals with the factional controvert which ondol in the death of Gonon Garfiold. Mr. Ulaino evidently spol under reserve and with the desii of reawakening no emotions t of stirring up embers whic timu has caused to smoulder on th party hearth. No ono who knowPres dent Gnrfield nnd the sunny , happ nature which sought always to fin the brightest side of every quostio will doubt the emphatic statement c Blaine that no thought of person ! gain or of nn opponent loss over it fluoncod his position on the unforti nato dispute with the senators froi Now York. To the president it we solely a matter of high principle , it volving the rights of the chief oxcct tivo of the nation , nnd in upholdin and enforcing that principle h yielded nothing to personal resentment mont , party clamor or the appeals c personal friendship. To many i will bo a source of regret that > Mi Blaine failed to enter more in detail upon a subject with which ho WG brought into such intimate pcrsoiu relations. For this very reason i was * particularly necessary that hi lips should bo s alod and nothin more should bo said than was duo t the memory of the dead president an the support of the administration o which ho was the head. PHILADELPHIA tax payers , irroapoc tivo of party , nnd under the leader ship of the Co umittoo of Uno Hundred drod , have .family succeeded'in wrest ing the control of the city government mont from the hands of the unprinci pie i ring of thieves and sharks win for years past have plundered its treasury ury nnd filled thior own pockets. A n former election , the controller o the tax department , the mayor nnt the city council were socuiod by tin reformers , and only ono support ro mninod to bo taken. This was the se loot council , which possessed enormous mous revisory powers , nnd in whicl the ring masters had securely in trenched themselves. On Tuesday after a lively .and exciting canvass , eighteen out of the twenty-throe members comprising this body wore ousted by the popular vote and an ad ministration entirely in sympathj with die reformers will hereafter-con trol the city. The victory taken in connection with the results of a num ber of ether municipal elec tions in various parts ol the country is interesting in showing the tendency .toward . the dis integration of parties -when local matters - tors call for prompt -and decided ac tion on the part of rotors and tax pay ers. Two years ago General Garfield had 21,000 majority in Philadelphia. Last week the reform independent ticket rolled up 17,000 majority.

A few days ago , in view of the dis sonsiocs in the Democratic party , Th Now York Sun suggested the nomina tion of the Hon. Abrnm-S. Hewitt at a compromise candidate of that part for Governor. This might or mtgh not have boon a wise suggestion in th interest of party peace. But after all The Truth , a Democratic newspaper o some notoriety in the city of No\ York , was moved to make a few re marks on the subject. Hero is a sample of its sentiments ; We are firmly convinced that Mr Hewitt never stele anything : that h never would , under any temptation steal anything , and that in all ordi nary circumstances ho could bo rolioe upon to toll the truth , the whole truth , and nothing but truth. * * * * * But Mr. Hewitt , novertho leas , is not nn available candidate fo Governor or for any ether position ii the gift of the people and represonta tive of the people , until ho purges his conscience and discharges his memory of one burdensome secret.

BARFIELD'S ' STAFF DUTY , General RosonoranB * Tribute to the Late President. Fnlso Statements Regarding the Tul- lohoma Campaign Corrected - Oarfleld's Denunciation of Cbas. A. Dana. "What is to bo done in the future with our vast silver product ? " inquired a gentleman of Air. Burchard , Direc tor of Mints , while the two sat in o room in the Continental Hotel an evening or two since. "That is a great question , and ono which needs thoughtful attention and careful legis lation , " replied Mr. Burchard , and then the two wont on discussing the condition of the mints , their location and the future of the coinage of the precious metals in this country , with in ease which demonstrated thut both know what they wore talking about. Prominent as has boon Mr. Bur- clmrd's place , both as legislator ana executive plticer , the name of the man who sat with him was a household word long before Mr. Burchard began naking his mark as a Congressman Tom Illinois. There was something ntorcsting in the study of his face , and still more in recalling his history and his life's work. Ho is little ibove the average height of man , and las a strong , well-knit frame which shows few marks of age , notwith standing the arduous demands ho has nado upon his physical nature. As 10 crossed his log and settled himself nto an easy chair , there was , somo- ; hing in his air and manner that told 10 was n soldier , and still more to re mind one who had known him in war , ot the characteristic pose of' body vhen settled for a talk in which he lad an interest. You cannot read much of sternness in the genial , good- laturod face , yet there are lots of it joneath the quiet composure of coun- .onanco that was scarcely ever unset tled oven in the pinch of battle. Ho vas dressed in a plain suit of coavon- ional black clothes , but they did not obscure the traditional marks of a soldier , which , when once impressed upon a man's life , are never effaced. The round , good-natured , kindly face has not boon perceptibly scarred by ago during the last fifteen years , and the light , clear blue eye is as bright as in the war time. The short-cropped whiskers around the ponderous lower jaw are a little more whj'tened than then , and the Iw.ir on his shapely head is getting a Httlo thinner and grayer. Otherwise the organizer and first com mander of the Army of the Cumber land looks much the same when I saw him to-night discussing mines and mining , mints and coinage , as ho did when riding along the lines or sitting at the headquarters of the army ho commanded , directing its movements upon the battlefield and in the bivouac. KOSENCRAN81 HECOlll ) . How queerly fate oft-times slupoo the lives of men ! Whore is there an American that cannot recall the name and fume of General W. S. Ilosen- rransi How the mere mention of it recalls his brilliant success in West Virginia nt the very threshold of the war , when the clouds of adversity to our arms Boomed to bo gathering rapidly nbout the Union cause ! His achievements were about the only lay of sunshine that slanted northward in these days. Then followed his good work in Mississippi , which elevated him to the greater command of the Army of the Cumberland , hilo Bragg Was pushing out of Kentucky at his chosen gait and with the plunder ho had gathered from it fertile farma. Then his master hand Authored and organized that superb army which followed him irom Stone River to Chickamauca nnd mndo.ho brilliant campaign of Tullahoma when in ton days Sholbyvillo and the town to Tullahoma , two fortified camps of great strength , were reduced by flank movements and without material loss to our arms. Stone lliver nnd Chickamauga - amauga were doubtful fioldH , but not front nit faults e > f omission or com mission. Nevertheless an arbitrary power set him aside and the brilliant uoods of years were ignored because the force which controlled the army demanded success and accepted no axplanations. With a record ripe iviih splendid achievements he left : hoarmyho had organized \\ith its eve and admiration and the respect if his countrymen.

" "Shortly nftcr the battle of StoiK lliver. He had been on court martin duty after his promotion to brigndici for some time , nnd wns finally ordered to report to mo. Onrschno , who hat' been my chiof-of-stair , was , you know , killed nt Stone River , nnd I was with out one when Gnrfiold reported to ins , I had tin command nucli nn I cared tc t ivu him nt the moment , so I kepi him nt headquarters , and for some time ho occupied my quarters witli mo. I put him in communication mid association with the corps nnd division commanders , so that they migjit be come well acquainted with him. A chiof-pf-stafT , besides being n com- mnnding general's first staff ollicor , has much business with nil the gen erals of the nrmy. I therefore felt it essential that they should bo satisfied with my selection of n now chiol-pf- staff. Garschao was a very suporioi nnn , with n capacity for the duties ol chief-of-stnfT suoh as I never found in n man before or since. It was , there fore , n dohcato tnsk to decide upon a man to fill his place , nnd no ordinary : nan could do it. After ho had been there some two weeks I asked the ad vice of the different generals as to my appointment of General Gartield. They acquiesced in my suggestion to offer him the place. I then said to him : ' "Generalthoro are two places now open to you you can either have a command , or I will make you chief-of- Btnff.His / His reply was : " 'General Rosoncrans if , my prefer ence is to decide the matter I'should like to have the staff position. ' " 'Very well'said , I , and at once announced the order appointing him. Ho always occupied an adjoining tent to mo , and of course our association was close and pleasant. Ho remained a.t my chief of stnff through the Tulla- homa campaign and until after the bat tle of Chickamaugn. " THE TOLLAIIOMA CAMPAIGN. "I notice General GarOeld's bio grapher speaks ot his having written a letter in relation to the Tullahomn campaign , which decided you to make an immediate movement. " "Yes , that matter was recently called to my attention. General Garfield - field did write such a letter , but under these circumstances : I had early in the year advised a reasonable delay until General Grant's siege of Vicksburg - burg was fnr enough advanced , so that there could be no danger of reinforce ments being drawn from its defense. I do not remember the exact date , but some time in Juno of that year I called General Garfield into my tent and said that I had determined to move within a very few days , but that I desired toget the expression of my corps and division commanders upon the subject to send to General Hal- leek , who was then commander-in- chicf. I dictated a short draft of a letter to be sent to each one asking their opinion in writing as to the date the movement should begin , and pro pounding three questions bearing upon different phases of the subject. The loiters were framed and sent. Then General Garfield came to me and said : 'General , won't you lot mo write an answer to these questions ? ' "I remarked , 'General Garfield , I have no objections to your writing on answer to the questions , but it would hardly bo proper for you as chiei-of- sUff and already in possession of my my mtorjtions to write a letter upon that subject which might reflect or bo regarded iu the nature of a criticism upon the opinion of my corp and di vision commanders. You have access to all these papers , and your answer must be in no wise an official docu ment of such form and spirit as to bo regarded as a critic upon the expres sions of the other generals. ' This was the last that ever I hoard of this until I saw General Garfield's answer to these questions printed in his bio graphy. I never know that it had been preserved at n part of the oflicial files of the army of the Cum berland. His biographer makes a serious blunder in saying that it de termined an parly movement. It would bo an injustice to the distin guished generals who hold commands in that nrmy to permit the reflection that the opinion of a chiof-of-staft would be hold superior to theirs. It is true that most of them did advise delay , but it was for the same reason that I had advised it earlier in the year. General G\rfield : should have ample credit for his work , but I hardly believe ho would approve of the efforts of his biographer to give to give him the credit for all the good things done by the Army ot the Cum berland while ho sorvei' with it. " UK WAS A noon OFFCEU. "Did General Garfield moot your expectations as chief-of-staflT' "Ho was n valuable man in many respects. Ho was quick to catch the drift of events , and was a fine letter writer. Ho could take a suggestion as to orders on important communica tions , nnd readily draft them with [ food taste , accuracy and force. Ho luid a fine mind , and it run rather in the direction of civil pursuits than to broad military operations. Ho got on pleasantly with the officers , and filled lis position Moll. " .it Chicknmauga he uid a yn leal of worn. I remember that after .ho battle ho said to mo ; "General , ipw many orders do you think you lictated to me yesterday ? " 'I have no dpa , ' I replied. 'You gave mo fifty , ' laid ho , rofoning to his field memo- andum-book. The other staff oilicers oforrod to theirs , and the remainder if them had taken only about fifty uore. "There was a scone tvt Cliickn- naujja between General Gnrfield nnd no which has been colored with a real deal of fancy by these who have rritten of it. It was when wo parted pen the field , ho to go to Thomas nd I to give the orders for the move- louts of the troops upon the right of ! iu lino. I had repeated to him eov- ml orders as to the disposition of the troops upon the Rossvillo road , whoi ho turned quickly to mo nnd said : "Thceo nro too many orders for in to gtto personally. " "Very well , " said I , "you go t Thomas nnd toll him to use his iudg mont nbout holding the loft , nnd nls to uny to mo wliothor ho wo ld o in' camp whore hovas or move whor there wns wntor. It is no credit t sny thnt in that important momcn wo parted with cnch other in tears Neither of us felt anything like sent ! tncnt then. "After I had given him direction as to nhiit ho should cay to Thomas he took his two orderlies , ono o whom now lives in Philadelphia , an wont to deliver the message. Ho di it promptly , nnd when I reached Ross villo I received n telegram sayin Thomas would hold the left , and who howontintocnmp would bivouac whor there wns water IT IS NOT TIIUK. "Tho story that his biogrnpho prints nbout his having written nil in ; orders except the ones which opone the gap in the line , is ns purely fictio as the ono which painted us ns cryin over each other in the Jicnt of battle "In the first plnco , no orekr wn giytm that openu'l n tap in the line and in the second , General Gnrfield i his limotimo would hardly have au thorizcd the statement that ho w rot my eiders for the movement of th army on that day or nny ether day On the field I of course dictated 1113 orders to my stall officers , and he , being ing chief of staff and nlways with mo penned most of them from my dictc tion. At Chickanmuga , ns well na al other places , ho was of course fnmilia with my plans. The night before th battle I had all the Commanding Generals summoned to my headquarters tors , that all might hear the order for the movement of the whole army Each General had , of course , a copy o the order relating to the moomont o his corps , but I wanted each cno tu know the orders of all the others When they were assembled Garfiele road the orders aloud to them , ane they were discussed in detail and ap proved. The position of each corp was agreed upon , and Thomas was tc take the loft and hold it at nil hazards Ho had his corps and one division tc do the work , nnd the mnnnor in whits ! ho performed his duty gave him the name of "Rock of Clnckamauga. " I was not an order that disturbed the line , but an unfortunate misunderstanding standing by General Wood of the o.r dors ho recoived. ALL WAS LOVELY. "Thoro seems to bo an effort to create the impression that there was some misunderstanding between you and General Garfiold. " "Nover. When , after -the battle o Chickanwuga , a resolution was intro duced in Congress thanking the Army of the Cumberland for gallant conduc at Chickamauga , ho moved to insor my name in the resolution and mad a neat and very eulogistic speech in relation to my part in the events o that day. About the time ho was inak ing his canvas for the Senatorship , the year before his nomination for the presidency there appeared in the Nen York Sun a letter signed 0. A. D. which charged that General Garfieh liad recommended and was responsible For my removal from the army of the Cumberland. The letter/I supposed was from Mr. Dana's own pen , and as ho had been assistant secretary o war , I was much surprised. I cut the article out , and , endorsing it to Gen Garfield , said : DEAR GENERAL ; I do not cure to involve you in n controversy with the Sun during the pondancy of your canvass. When that is concluded make your own plan of setting this matter straight. "Ho sent mo the following reply almost immediately : DEAH GF.NERAL : I have never been untrue to you in word , thought or deed Dana , or any other" liar , to the contrary notwithstanding. "Again , when the Thomas statue was unveiled in Washington ho sen mo a very urgent roque'st to bo pres ent. and again telegraphed mo a message sago of flattorinc ; import asking my presence. I should like to have accepted , but could not come. No , there was never any misunderstand ing between us , and ho always to mo expressed the most cordial friend- hids. " "It has been stated by several emi nent men , however , that they hoard him recommend my removal from the command of the Army of the Cum berland soon after ho loft my staff , but I know nothing of it personally. Certainly his words to mo and his acts , so far as I know , were friendly. " , Great Men Born In February. Cincinnati Gazette.
