Open Letter from the Cheat Lawyer to the ‘'Christian’' Terrible Excoriation of James A. and His Party in 1870. lo lion. James A Garfield , ofi Congress j'rom Ohio : I have read the speech you sent me. I am astonished and shocked, As the leader of your party, to the candidates have specially ed the conduct of the pending paign, you should have met your re¬ I sponsibilities in a very lecture different way. do not presume to so distin¬ guished a man upon his errors; but if I can prevent you, even to a small extent, from abusing the ill i s_-Ci£dUL anxiety *■ p®aa»*iiig only my relations great to presei ve the fraternal existing between us for many years. I follow the Ilora tian rule, and come at once to “the middle of things.” back You trace the origin ' of present parties to the earliest immigrations at I’lymouth and Jamestown, and profess to find in the opposing doctrines then planted and aiterwards constantly cherished in Massachusetts and V ir ginia, the germs ot those ideas as which now make Democracy aud Abol itionism the deadl) T toes of each other, The ideas so planted in Massachusetts were, according to yonr account, the freedom and equality of all races, and the right and duly of every man to exercise his private judgment in poll tics as well as in religion. On the other hand you se forth as irrecon si ably host, e the doctrine of Virginia, that capital should own labor that the negro had no rights of manhood, and that the white man might buy, own and sell lnm and h.s offspring forever others, hollowing these assertions wnh and linking the present with the long past, you employ the devices of your rhetoric o g onfy the modern abolitionist and to throw foul scorn, not merely on the Southern P eo pie, but on the whole Democracy ot cou m, TUib look® . f laarood , , anl , philosophical, ... . . . and it Ki»aa yoor speech a.dignity seemingly above the reach of the ordre nary demagogue.

But your contrast of hietori cal fact is open to one objectm I give you m a forms- wholly ' , ble when I_say teat it is of trut) This, of course,implies putation .. no ou yo Ur th”e good faith high character in church aa well as the State, forbids the belief that you would be guilty of willful misrepresen tation.

Democra-l tic statesmen had no theory about it The saw their duty written down in the fundamental law ; they swore to perform it, and they kept their oaths. They executed the powers of the Gen eral Government in their whole consti tutional vigor, for that, as Mr. Jeffer sen said, was “the sheet anchor of our peace at home and our safety abroad,” and they carefully guarded the rights of the States as the only security we could have for a just administration of our domestic affairs. This was univer sally assented to as right and true. No counter theory was set up. Differences of construction there might be, but all admitted that when the line of power was accurately drawn between the Fed eral Government and State sovereignty, the rights on one side were as sacred as those on the other. But within two or three } ears last past the low dema gogues of your party have got to put ting in their platforms the assertion that this is a nation and not a confed eration. What do they mean? What do you mean when you indorse and repro¬ duce it? Do you deny that the States were sovereign before they united? Do you affirm that their sovereignty was wholly merged in the Federal Government when they assented to the Constitution? Is the tenth amend¬ ment a mere delusion? Do you mean to assert that the States have not now, and never had, any rights at all ex¬ cept what are conceded to them at the mercy of the “Nation?” No doubt this new article was inserted in the creed of the Abolitionists because they sup¬ posed it would give a sort of plausibil¬ ity to their violent intervention with the internal affairs of the States. But it is so false, so shallow, and so desti¬ tute of all respectable authority that it imposes upon nobody. There is- one conclusive proof of your enmity to the Union, and that is your unwavering opposition to the Constitution which held the States to¬ gether. You know as well as I do how absurd it is to suppose that any man or party can support the Union, ^^Uid-sAfiha-eame Genetitution, and time certainly trample on the not you are ignorant that you and your predeces sors, from the earliest times, have been anti-Constitutional in all yourproclivi ties. Contemptuous disregard of Con stitutional obligations is not now the mere germ of a doctrine; it is a part of your settled creed. Before the wf r and since you have trodden under foot every provision contained in the great charter of our liberties. I do not speak at random, I challenge you to designate a single Constitutional right of the Statos, or of individuals which you have not at some time or in some way deliberately violated, “ T]IE Mosx unkindest cut of all.” You will pardon me, I am sure, for re f err ing to this affair; you ' are the 1:i8t man upou whom L w ukl make a nal and j could not do it here if L wouM try . for the conviction { have often expressed remains un changed) that your integrity was not stained bv such co.mectio.i as you had with that business.

They have no better title to them than the wolf has to the mutton he slaugh tere by moonlight. The legal remedy against these exactions is so plain that ignorance alone could hardly miss it.

Speaking of reconstruction and see¬ ing your broad accusations of treason, I am tempted to ask if you are sure that you yourself and your associates did not commit that crime. In March 1867, the then exiting government of the Union was supreme all over the countiy, and every State had a separate government of its own for the administration of its domestic concerns. That government was en¬ titled then, if it ever was, to the uni¬ versal obedience of all citizens, ancl you, its officers, had taken a special oath of fidelity to it. Nevertheless you made a deliberate arrangement, not only to withdraw your support from it, but to overthrow it totally in ten of the States, and this you did by military force. In all the South you levied war against the nation and against the defenseless destroyed the free government both, and substituted in their place untempered and absolute despotism. Now, suppose you had been iudicted this, how could you have escaped condemnation of the law? I know excuses, and I can understand claims to mercy; but what legal could you have made consis¬ with your own argument aud (he of the court iu the Milligan ? I cannot desciibe to you how un¬ is the sensation produced by profes-ions of a desire for peace. Why do you not give us peace if you willing we shall have it ?

I have considerable patience, as a general thing, but there are times when “patience ceases to be a virtue,” and, in justice to the party with which I have had the honor to act in the P'ist, I think it is time to “dip in my oar.” It would be well for that paper to consider one of two policies, wheth¬ er it is best to conciliate and draw to the support of its party those who are known to have no sympathy with the Radicals aud some little with the De¬ mocracy, or drive them off to other folds. And the latter policy, by its strictures on the Greenback party, is piecisely what it is now inconsiderate¬ ly doing. In its issue of last Thursday it has two remarkable editorials, one under the heading “Is It a Little Learning or Fraud ?” and the other “The Stock of Coin iu the Country.” The first we have named is devoted entirely to the consideration of a speech said to have been delivered by Hon. Gilbert De La Matyr at Chattanooga. Tenn. In that aiticle the Hon. gentleman is accused of one of two things, ignorance of finance or a disposition to deceive While I am not much given to flattery, I undertake lo say Mr. De La Matyr knows rn o abuut finance in one day than Ihe editor of the Neios ever dieame i of in all his philosophy. The fundamental plank iu the Greenback pi at toi u being finance, he is compelled to study and to uudeistand it thorough ly. Great stress is laid upon the re [tori, by telegraph, that this gentleman said, “that the United States owed twenty billions dollars.” I take it on myself to affirm that Mr. De LaMatyr said no such thing, aud that, too, with out having seen the speech or any repoit of it except what I find in this editorial of the News. The whole thing is so ridiculous it is impossible even for the editor of the News to be lieve it. It is possible he may have used such an expression in speaking the collective debts of the count-, Gut he is too well posted ti»' f himself wide to have laid diously open eu(dl a 6tup en nonsensical expression as the one attributed J t0 him. So that the sage ^-presBion of this ancient editor, that “it h by the use of such vaguely voluminous verbiage a.s billions that demagogues ‘catch pigeons’ or wise acres delude themselves,” is unwitty, pointless, and flat. Yet with all his “vaguely voluminous verbiage'' the News ha 3 a place in big heart for him, for it says “Mr. Da La Malyr bank s political view of the na t i ona l system is sound C y_” Indeed 1 Is there that much v i r tue in a Greenbacker that he can adv auce a solitary sound visw ? The fact that it not long since accused this party of being so corrupt it was paring to sell out to the highest bidder, WO uld preclude the idea that it was sonn J i n anything, much f c views And with all its stalwartism tbe has failed to t j 10 superiority of its preteusions CC pt the tact that the Radicals are and the Democrats want to got them out, and in its desire to accomplish this it even appropriates j thunder and claims that the success ' resumption is all owing to the of Democratic measures. That may I -to tell to the marines; sailors will 'believe it.” The facts in the case too patent. The Radicals are corrupt ^'Rend^r j C Twdl resumruon bill sensation* bv Congress- I well member the remembh k | .sands the coaotry; of consent I weii predictions the that fwou.u prove a ruinous failure. resumption day arrived and the gold and silver had even preceded it in the business of the country, and it has pro¬ gressed from day to day until now it is a fixed fact. Is it fair, then, that the Democrats should take the credit of its success when they opposed it from its incipiency until its accomplishment ? By no means. The silver, Radicals and were they wrong in demonetizing are wrong now in attempting to pre¬ vent its general circulation. It is coin—honest money—and just what the people want and will have. But do not filch from them the only good thiDg they have ever done since they have been in power. L. Thursday’s Rainstorm. Those who had the rheumatism or tickets to the big Coney Island festival were not pleased with the weather on Thursday morning. It was cool, a breeze fanned the city, the sun was ob¬ scured by light but ominous clouds, and the air was damp. During the previous night sleep returned to thou¬ sands who had almost given up hoping for a return of the sensation. The dwellers in the swarming tenements around the Five Points crept up to their beds before midnight, instead of sleeping on the sidewalks or the roofs, and the tramps on the Park benches, who had been enjoying the best sleep¬ ing accommodations obtainable, shiv¬ Early ered and complained of the change. in the afternoon the clouds thick¬ ened and there set in a rainstorm heavy enough for a March duy. A raw northwesterly wind blew while the storm prevailed, which was from 3 o’clock in the afternoon until 10 o’clock at night. The clerk in charge of the signal office reported the rainful at one inch and eighty-one hundredths—the heaviest in a year and a half, he says. At 3 o’clock in the afternoon the then* mometer registered 69 degrees, and the wind's velocity was eight miles an hour. Exchange place, in Jersey City, from the Pennsylvania ferry to Hudson street, was flooded. The tide filled the sewers, and the water in the street rose until it covered the sidewalk on the north side of the street. Brooklyn suf¬ fered moat.

The trains on the Brooklyn, Flat bush and Coney Island Railroad passed over their route slowly, especially In through the tunnel at Prospect Hill. Flushing avenue, opposite 531 and 539, the street has caved in, and the holes interfere with travel. The pave¬ ments at Ellery street and Marcey ave¬ nue have also sunk. Two four-story French flat buildings with brown-stone fronts, which are being built by T. W. Swimm, have been undermiued by the rains. The party wall has sunk, and the whole structure is belived to be in a dangerous condition, so that it will probably have to be torn down .—New York Sun. How Gen, Simpson Served a Bully.

One evening he swag gered as usual into his cafe, and to his astonishment actually saw one of those hated Anglais occupying his a chair, be it remembered, that ino one hitherto had dared to sit upon !except himself.
