From the He w York Tribune, Feb. id, 187?.
JAME3 A. GARFIELD, of Ohio, had
tea shares; never paid a dollar;' received
$329, which, after the investigation began,
he was anxious to have considered aa a loan
from Mr. Oakes Amea to himself.
Well, the wickedness of ail of it is that
tbeee men betrayed the truBt 'of the peo

evasions and falsehoods confessed tbe trans
action to be disgraceful. , j -

the Chicago Convention, and just be

"The most contemptible thing thus far at

He has not a record to run on for President,

. ThV Stab has' not approved atwaya
of everything Gov. Jarvis has dene.
.Possibly if we had occupied his jsarid;.
mg-pOiot and bad had a knowledgejoj
all the facts as he had we would haye
acted as hei did. 'Put yourself iin
his; place" ris a, very good " . rule a 14

all the fact8;hadi beerjf knori ihiiir,
conduct would have been applauded
rather ; than coiidemhed.l ' The StIb
has not -been able Ho-regard all Of
Gov. Jarvis'8 ofiicial acts as his warm
est admirers have - regarded them.'
This is not to e wondered. at. The
St&b ? is the unyielding'' ad vqcleJ
legislation or of all the of&cial conduct
of Democrats. It chooses : to think
for itself. It stands sqifarelybyfun,
damental principles, but it' does' not
feel itself called upon to justify r
indorse all Democratic acts. 4 ' ' f - j T
It would be Btrange if one hun
dred men gathered in one assemb y
should think precisely alike on a
dozen questions of public policy j' r
indeed upon any ; topics that can
appeal to intelligent, educated be
ings. It is equally strange thai ja
hundred qualified, conscientious, re
flecting editors, living at one hundred
different towns, should all agree
heartily on ' a dozen questions,' 'cr
should all think alike as to the wis
dom of this or that line of policy.
And yet all Democratic editors are
expected to chime in on all questions
in which the public weal is involve,
and to indorse without mental reser
vation every ofiicial act of the repre
sentatives of the party. ' j
We do not believe that me'n'ojf
brains and of conscience can thus
agree . There must of necessity be a
difference of opinion. We do not
believe that men who do. their own
thinking can be led with leading
strings or be made pliable and obedi
ent. Men may and do agree as to
essentials as to, undlyinffiprinci .

that there are , parties in , politics
and denominations among Christian
prqfessord. But men with minds
will disagree often as to the propriety
and wisdom of a given aotion o)r
s
measure. .. ; t
The Stab has not been able to ia-
dorse every thing that Gov. Jar vie
has done officially, as we have1 said.
But it never accused him of corrupt
tion or of neglect of : the public ' ihj
terests. We suppose the Stab could
not conscientiously indorse all of the
ofiicial acts of any Chief Magistrate

pelled by your, honest convictions o

Buxton,: for be will suit you every
wayi for he is a Radical of Radicals.
Buxton sustained Holden and the
diabolicat and forever infamous Kirk
war. 1 Buxton; refused the : writ1' Of
habeas corpus, an act , of ; positive
moral cowardice as well as of iniuP
tice. , Buxton made time and again
the grossest partisan decisions whilst
onthebenoh and when sworn to deliver
righteous judgment. Buxton, a man"
of , smiles and placidity, preferred a
negro to a one-legged Confederate
soldier, to . be a doorkeeper to the
State Convention of 1875. Buxton
wishes to ; increase the public taxes
by at least three hundred thousand
dollars. Buxton is championing over
the State the cause of that notorious
and' immortal bribe-taker, ballots-
manipulator, perjurer and profesj
sional subsidy jobber James Al
Garfield. So if you . are a Radical
no doubt Buxton is the man for you.
We are quite sure Jarvis is not the
candidate to meet, your demands oV
to represent in any particular your
principles; ,. . ' ;

with several of the most' ltrnuential and
best informed citizens of Person county in
reference to the building of the proposed

these gentlemen we learn that the building
of this road is the all absorbing topic in lhat
county; it enters into politics to the extent
that no candidate for the Legislature can
be elected unless he is fully committed , to
the building of this road. We are
pained to learn of tbe death of Mr. W. II.
Jones, who died on Thursday last at bis
home near Knap of Keeds. Jtte'was a good
man and kind neighbor. .':
