Executive’s Most Difficult Task.
Mentor, Ohio, July
Garfield has forwarded to Senator
of Massachusetts, the following
of acceptance of the nomination
dered him by the Republican
Convention: *
Mentos, Ohio, July 10.
Dear Sir: On the evening of the
of June last I had the honor to
from you, itf presence of the
of which you were chairman, the
cial announcement that the
caS^atftWHt ""€lonventioQ at
had that day nominated me for
candidate for President of the
^tates “
I accept the nomination with
tude for the confidence it implies
with it a deep imposes. aense I of cordially the
ties
the principles set forth in the
adopted by the Convention. On
ly all the subjects of which it
my opinions are on record among
published proceediegs of Congress,
venture, however, to make
mention of some of the principal subjects
which are likely to become
discussion.
Without reviewing settled the
which have been during the
past twenty years, and with no
or wish to revive the passions of the
war, it should be said that while
Republicans fully recognize and
strenuously defend the rights
to the States, they reject the
doctrine of State supremacy which
long crippled the functions of the
ernment and at one time brought
Uniou very near to destruction.
insist that the United States is a
tion with ample power of
vation; that its Constitution and
made in pursuance thereof are the
preme law of tbe land; that the
of the Nation to determine the
by which its own Legislature shall
created cannot be surrendered
abrogating one of the
powers of government; that
laws relating to the election of
seutatives iu Congress shall neither
violated or evaded; that every
shall be permitted freely ftDd
intimidation to cast his lawful ballot
suoh election and have it
shall counted, that the potency of his
not be destroyed by the
lent vote of any other person.
The best thoughts aud energies
our people should be directed to
great questions of National
in which all have common • ,
Sqch effort will soon restore perfect
peace to those who were lately in
against each other, for justice
good-will will outlast passion, but
isceitaiu that the wounds of the
cannot be completely healed, aud
spirit of brotherhood cannot fully
vade citizen, the rich whole country white _until
or poor, or
is secure in the free and full
guaranteed meat of every civil aud political aud
by the Constitution
Uws - Whenever the free and eqnal
enjoyment ot this is not secured
content will prevail, immigration
cease, and social and industrial
will cottinue to be disturbed by
migration of laborers and consequent
diminution of prosperity. The
tional Government should exercise all
its Constitutional authority to put an
ood to these evils, for all the
SAVANNAH, WEDNESDAY, JULY 14, 1880.
and all the States are members of
body and no member can suffer with
out imury to all. The most serious
evils which now afflict the South arise
from the fact that there is not
freedom and toleration of political
opinion that the minority party can
exercise an effective and wholesome
restraint upon the party in power.
Without such restraint party rule be¬
comes tyrannical and corrupt. Pros
perity, 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.
Next in importance to freedom and
justice is popular education, without
which neither can be permanently
maintained. Its interests are intrusted
to the States and the voluntary action
of the people. Whatever help the
National Government can justly afford
should be given to aid the States in
supporting common schools, but it
would be unjust to our people and
dangerous to our institutions to apply
States any portion of the revenues of the
to the support of sectarian
schools. The separation of church and
state in everything relating to taxation
should be absolute.
On the subject of the rational
nances my views have been so fre¬
quently and so fully expressed that
little is needed iu the way of additional
statement. The public debt is now
so well secured and the rate of annual
interest has been so reduced byrefund¬
ing that rigid economy in expenditures
and faithful application of our surplus
revenues to the payment of the prin¬
cipal of the debt will gradually but
certainly free the people from its bur¬
dens and close with honor the finan¬
cial chapter of the war. At the same
time the Government can provide for
all its ordinary expenditures and dis¬
charge its sacied obligations to the
soldiers of the Union and to the
widows and orphans of those who fell
in its defense. The resumption oi
specie payments, which the Republi¬
can party so courageously and success¬
fully accomplished, has removed from
the field of controversy many questions
that long and seriously disturbed tbe
credit of the government and the busi¬
ness of the country. Our paper cur¬
rency is now as national as the flag,
and resumption has not only made it
everywhere equal to coin, but has

doubtful financial experiments.
In reference to our customs laws a
policy should be pursued which will
bring revenues to the treasury, and
will enable the labor and capital em
ployed in our great industries to com
pete fairly in our own markets with
the labor and capital of foreign pro
dneers. We legislate for the people
tbe United States not for the whole
world, and it is our glory that the
American laborer is more intelligent
and better paid than his foreign com
petitor. Our country cannot be inde
pendent unless its people with their
abundant natural resources possess the
requisite skill at any time to clothe,
arin nnd equip themselves for war,
an d in time of peace to produce all ne
cessary implements of labor. It was the
manifest intention of the founders of
onr government defence to provide for the corn
Iuon alone, but by not by standing armies
raising among the people
j a greater army of artisans whose in¬
J telligence anti skill should powerfully
'contribute to the safety and glory of
9he nation

‘provement of our harbors and great

<ted purpose are strictlv iimi
to works of National importance
iThe Mississippi River with its great
j tributaries is of such vital importance *
to millions .... of people
so many that the
(safety of its navigation requires excep- :
consideration. In order to
I cure to the Nation the control of all its
waters President Jefferson negotiated
the purchase of the vast territory ex
tending from the Gulf of Mexico to the
Pacific ocean. The wisdom of Congress
should be invoked to devise some plan
bv which that greater river shall cea®e
to be a terror to those who dwell upon
its banka, and by which its shipping
may safely carry the industrial pro-;
Mncte of twentyfiv. million of peo
pie. qf
The interests agriculture, which
is the basis of all our nuteria! pros
perity, and iQ which seven-twehths of
jour the interests population of are manufactures engaged, as and well com- as
merce, demand that facilities for cheap
j transportation shall be increased by
use of all our great water
The material interests of this coun¬
try, the traditions of its settlement, and
the sentiment of our people have led
'the government to offer the widest hos
pitality to emigrants who seek our
shores for new and happier homes, wil¬
ling to share the burdens as well as the
benefits of our society, and intending
that their posterity shall become an
undistiuguishable part of our popula¬
tion. Tile recent movement of Chinese
to our Pacific coast partakes but little
of the qualities of such an emigration,
either in its purposes or its result. It
is too much like importation to be wel¬
comed without restriction, too much
like invasion to be looked upon with¬
out solicitude. We cannot consent to
allow any form of servile labor to be
introduced among us under the guise
of immigration. Recognizing the grav¬
ity of this subject the present admin¬
istration, supported by Congress, has
sent to China a commission of distin
guished citizens for the purpose of se¬
curing such a modification of the exist¬
ing 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 commer
cial intercourse between the two powers,
which promises a great increase of
reciprocal trade and the enlargement
of our markets. Should these effoits
fail it will be the duty of Congress to
mitigate the evils already felt, and
prevent their increase by such restric¬
tions as, without violence or injustice,
will place upon a sure foundation the
peace of our common country and the
freedom and dignity of labor.
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
Constitution has imposed upon the
Executive. The Convention wisely de¬
mands that Congress shall co-operate
with the Executive departments in
placing Experience the civil service on a better
basis. has proved that
with our liequeut changes of adminis¬
tration no system of reform can be
made effective and permanent without
the aid of legislation. Appointments
to military and naval offices aye so re¬
gulated by law and customs as to leave
but little ground of complaint. It may
not be wise to make similar regulations
by law for the civil service, but with¬
out invading the authority or necessa¬
ry discretion of the Executive, Con¬
gress should devise a method that will
determine the tenure of office and
greatly reduce the uncertainty which
makes the service so uncertain and un
satisfactory. Without depriving any
officer of his rights as a citizen the Gov
ernment should require him to dis
charge all his official duties with intel
ligence, efficiency and faithfuluess. To I
select wisely from our vast population
those who are best fitted for the many
offices to be filled requires an acquain¬
tance far bevond the range of any oue
man. The Executive should, therefore,
seek and receive information and assis¬
tance of those whos? knowledge ot the

be performed best qualifies them to aid

In my judgment these principles should
control the legislation and the admin

My Dear Washington, Nov. 30, 1867.
General: This moment
I read your admirable order. I am
much engaged, but I cannot resist the
temptation to steal time enough from
my clients to tell you how grateful you
have made me by your patriotic and
noble behavior. Yours is the first most
distinct and most emphatic recognition
which the principles of American liber¬
ty have received at the hands of any
high officer in a Southern command.
It has the very ring of the Revolution¬
ary metal. Washington never saida
thiDg in better taste or better time. It
will prove to men that “Peace hath her
victories not less renowned than those
of war, I congratulate you not be¬
cause it will make you the most popular
man in America (for, I dare say, you
care will nothing about that,) but because
it give you through all time the
solid reputation of a true patriot and a
sincere lover of your country, its laws,
and its government. This, added to
your brilliant achievements as’a sol¬
dier, will leave you without a rival in
the affections of all whose good will
is worth having, and give you a place
ia history which your children will be
proud of.
This acknowledgement from me does
not amount to much, but I am express¬
ing only the feelings of millions, and
expressing With them feeble at that.
profound respect,
I am yours, &c.,

PURITY OF FAMILY MEDICINES.
Among the many specifics introduced
to the public for the cure of dyspepsia,
indigestion, derangements of various
kinds, and a general weakness of the
human system, within a few years, de¬
coctions of vegetable bitters have held
a considerable place. Often bitters
have been made highly popular for a
time by being largely charged with
whisky and other spirits, thus minis¬
tering to a depraved appetite. In this
way the medicinal purpose for which
they were avowedly offered to the pub¬
lic has been missed, and sale to which
they attained before their true char¬
acter was thoroughly known has com¬
pletely fallen away. The writer in his
visit to Rochester has had the pleasure
of meeting with Hop Bitters, an en¬
tirely different compound from those
alluded to. It is five years since their
merits were brought before the public
and they have steadily increased in
favor until they are, without question,
the most popular and valuable medi¬
cine known. The exceeding intrinsic
value of their leading components is in
no way destroyed or lessened by the
deleterious quality of any other ingre¬
dient. They cure almost every die
ease of the stomach, liver, kidneys and
urinary organs.— New York Mercantile
Review.
