Gen, James A, Garfield, President-elect of the United States—Sin: The Indepeudent Kepublic- an Association of Now York congratulates you ‘upon tho result uf tho recent National election, which they deem moat propitious, aa ft algnifica the popular approval of the principles with whlch you buve so long been Identified, and fives reasonable assurance that you will be sus- tained by public opinion in your endeavors to carry, the same into effect. Your ut- terances {n Congress on the condition and needs of the Civil Service and tho effective support which you gave In the Chiengo Conven- ‘on to the resolution there adopted In that be- balf, and which -conatitutes a part of the plat~ form of tho Republican party, impelled us to fre you our cordial support in the late cam- Palgn, and inspire us with confidence that your Administration will juatity the promiso of so noblearccurd. The dangers to our political ste arising from the savaure contest every four years, extending over tho entire continent and penetrating all ranks of socioty, respecting the distribution of the Federal oillces, seem tous utemly grave. History teaches that the thing mot to be guarded against in a re- pubtlo 19 oxeess of party rage. This dt, always suificiontly active under a froo Government, is stimulated and augmented to an trming deyreo by tho apolla system, which ro- Mitdsall Federal ofiicea as tho prizes of tho ma- Jority, and which would bave snatched from the whole body of present incumbeots thelr means of alivelihood If a few thousand votes in this Sutewhich were cust for yourself had been sutfor Gen, Hanoock.

Senator Blane is in good health, and hag entirely regnined the use of ils voice, witch fatled Iin toward the close of the lute campaign, Among the. other callers on Gen, Garfield to-day were Repre- sentative Hubbell, of Michigan, and Mr, Horace White. ‘The latter discussed Civtl- Service questions with the President-clect. Mr. Hubbell had an extended conversation with Gen. Garfield, during whieh political topics were discussed. Mr, Hubbell ts of the opinion that the President-elect 1s not engaged in Cabinet-making at present. INDIANA. HARRIBON, _ _ Spectal Dispateh to The Chicago Tribune, Ainmtaxaroxts, Ind., Nov. 20.—The friends of Gen, Harrison have been quietly but very actively at werk throughout the Stnte, and to-night they claim thata enreful review of the sltuntton shows thata lnrgo majority of both Senators and Representatives are de- eldedly partial to his. candidacy, and that there ly not the slightest reason to doubt his electidn on the first ballot. There are twenty- five Republican Senators, including Senator Poindexter, and fifty-seven Republican mem- bers of the House, making eighty-two who will goiuto the caucus. Of this number forty-flve to Ofty arein favor of Harrison, making a healthy majority. Butthe chances are he will have A MUCH LANGER VOTE TIAN TIS on the first ballot. The feellug among the voters of tho party Is almost unaniinously in foyor of. Gen. Harrison. One representative stated to-night that he could not be for any one else If he wished to be, for the reason that nearly every wan In his district, so far as he had heard, was for Gen, Harrison, The sauie thing was repeated by other members present, The weekly press of the State, which usually represents the sentiment of the various counties with accuracy, indicates that Gen, Hurrison is CLEARLY THE CHOLOF OF THE PEOPLE, Thelr utterances recall those of 18WJ, when Senator Morton was selected to take the place of the Hon. Henry S. Lane. It is no- tleeable, too, that the members-elect do not hesitate to speak out thelr sentiments. Be ing serenaded a day or two ago, Mr. Roelker, of Evauaville, sald, in the course of his speech, that he was going to vote for Gen. Harrlson for Senator, and that he would thug atone for voting against lis grandfather, old Tippecanoe, in 140, Mr. Roelker is by no meaus an exception, THE FEELING involuntarily.takes hold of men that tt fs the right and tho only thing to do, aud candor compels them to speak out, The fact’ that “this Is go—and the truth of it ennnot be con- troverted—will, it 1s beloved, Induce other candidates fo retire in favor of Gen, Bar- tison, that he may go tuto the National -Benate from Indiana as Gen, Gartield did from Ohlo—the ungpposed and unnuimous choice of his party. The following is A LETTER written by Gen. Harrison toa friend in Fort Wayne, wito furnishes s copy of its Ihayo made no concealment of tho fact that Tam a candidate for tho United Statoa Sonate, or of the further fact that Lam doing, and shall continue to do, allthat may honorably be duno tosccurc a nomination by the Kepublican cau- cus, Ibave tried to avoid anything that might Jook like offensive solicitation, but have, In a frank way, placed my case before the members and other Ropublican friends, Lolaim no pro- omption on the office, but frea sand fully rece ognize the right of oth Republicans to seek the place. ‘My rampnign.. hos been, and shall be, onducted = in gepirit of kindness towards my distinguished competitors. Iam sure that, if [ havo any fit- noss for this high placo, or have renderod any service to the country or the party that is wor+ thy of mention in thla connection, I can truat the kindness of my political frionds to suggest it, and 201 baye been avoluing the immodesty of making any argument in my own behalf, Asido from the honor vf the office, I should very highly prize an election to the Sennto as an exprossion of the contidence of the Wepub- Joana of Indiana, my own State," THE BLUNDERS, No official determination has yet been Teached in the Etectoral muddle, as the ques- tion has not yet been presented In any form fortinalaction, The Gavernor has not re eelved any Information from any of tho elerks In the counties from which the re- turns for Bennett come, and bas no kuawl- edge of thelr intentions In the matter. Ho thinks that, If the.errors have occurred mere- ly in thecopying of the returns on the tally- shoets, after they were sent up from the slec- tloh ofticura in the precincts, there can be no doubt of the power of the clerks, who. ore merely the returning ofllcers, without power to can * vass tha result, ta correctany merely cler- ical errora, which, Indeed, are all they could make in the mattor, Thus, If the vote Is re- turned ag cast one way, and the clérk by mistake certifies {t {n another, he may change it e@ aa to render it correct. e . Iris Now KNOWN that the blunder les wholly and absolutely with tho County Clerks, who made up -thelr certified returns ou sheets having Bennett's uae instead of Parker's. Several of the clerks have telegraphed to the State officers, and one or two hayo = visited = them ~—spergonally, to make the nocessary correction, It is some- what remarkable that this error occurred in only one Republican county In the whole Mst, Itls sugeested, asone way in which the matter can be settled, that the certilicate be Issued tw Chawners, the Democratic Elector, when the Electors weet Monday, He will not be presont, and the others, hay- ing the power to fill yacancles, will select Mr. Parker, The thirteen votes of Indiana will thua be cast for Garfleld, as the people de- sired, To the surprise of everybody, CLAUDE MATTHEWS, the missing Marshal of the Elghth District, who has had plenty of notorlety in tho past week, put In appeprance this morning, bring ing with biw um returns of the district, which were canvassed and Inserted In thelr Place, In accordance with the resolution of the Board passed last Monday, The totat vote for Prysklent uow stands as follows: Gurfluld, 293,164; Hancock, 335,533;- Weaver, 12,080; Gartield's plurality, 068. Tne vote for Governor was: Porter, 231,405; Landers, 224,453; Greve, 14,881, MR MATTHEWS gays that, when be recelved hls commission, he was 4 and when he went jo hlycounty town he was informed by the officials that the re- turus were to be made on the fourth Monday iu November, which he concluded was the i it the last Monday In the month, as ft usiiitly is. He had, therefore, put aside this week for collecting the returns of the diferent ebun- tles of his district, and purposed «a come to Indiannpolls next Monday to bring them, in compliance with the Inw tts he thought. Mr. Matthews Is very much chagrined over tha matter, a8 he had no other Intention than to do bis duty in the fullest measure, yi TUNER GOVERNORS, Attention {3 called to the fact that, within tesa than two months, Indiana will have had three Governors,—WillNams, Gray, and Por ter, A slinilar experience occurred twenty years ago, but then the State had four Goy- ernors within a-very brief period.

Wasitnotox, D.4C., Noy, 26.—Soine of. the Ohio men now here, In‘relntion to the: objections which itis suggested the Demo- crats may talse to the election of a successor to Gen, Garfleld by the Ohio Legislature this winter, have propused that, immediately upon the aysembling of the Ohio Legislature this winter, it shall make an lection. Agaln, Iminediately after the 4th of March,: it shall hold another election, the same mnu being elected both times, Then the ‘Senate can have the choles uf two sets of cre- dentials, In the one case, the election will have been held {mmediately upon the recefpt by the Legisinture of Gen. Garfield’s resig- nation. If this fg rejected by the, Demoeratic Senate on the ground that o,Senator-elect cannot resign until he fs qualified, then they will be offered the other set, whieh will rep- resent the choice of a Senator to fill a va- eancy caused by. the expiration of the term of Senator Thurman, It is- not believed that even Democratic ingenuity cannot find any- thing in this solution upon which to base a claim that there is a vacancy which los not been filled. OTHER WAYS. New York, Nov. 26.—A Washington dis- patch says Gen, Garfleld has nelther time nor inclination to take any-part In tha contest for the Senatorship from Ohic,'and supposes there will be no question raised In the Senate about the admission of the choice of the Ohio Legisinture. Judge Lawrence, First Controller of the Treasury, has written a letter on the subject to show the right of the Legislature to elect another inthe place of Mr, Garfield. That there may be no question about it, a joint resulution will be offered on the meeting of Congress exempting Ohlo fram the terms of the Congressional act in the selection of aSenatorto Ml! the vacaucy, beginning with the 4th uf March, 183h MICHIGAN, ‘THE SENATONSMP, Spectal Dispatch to The Chicago Tribunte Wasurnaton, D.

Spectal Durpateh to The Chicago Tribune, Wasuinaton, D, C, Nov, %.—The Hon. Jullus C. Burrows, of Michigan, who has been spoken of In connection with the Speak- ership of the next House, arrlyed fn town to-day. In conversation to-night he saldthat the questlon of an extra session of Congress immediately after the 4th of March next-was one which would depend for Its:solution al- most entirely on the shape whic legislation takes this winter, » He thinks It mt inilkely that the subject of the disfranctiisemont of Republicang ln the South for some yoars past, notably in SILL Bae oe MISSISSIPPI AND BOUTIE CANOLINA,’ | may be presented In such a way.as to de-) mand Jeristation, or at least discussion, and such discussion as will be likely to ariso, would delay regular business and make an extrasesslon necessary, “We Republicans,” sald Mr, Burrows, “do not want an extra seasion; but the time Js about como when every American citizen who is of lawful age should have the right to vote as he pleases, and have that vote counted, This ly the right of every citizen, white or black, and the tline would seem to be ripe to guarantec ulm in that right.” ore BUCKEYE PLACEMEN, HOW PHESINENT HAYES MAS FAVORED ONTO IN THE MAKING OF AFPOINTMENTS—BE- LIEF TUAT PRESIDENT GARFIELD WILL _ NOT CONTINUE THAT POLICY| * Bpactat Disputed (0 Tre Chicago Tribune, Cotusuus, O,, Nov, 2.—One of the hu- morous dspects of the present political sltua- ton in this State Js the vory large number of men, both great and/ small, who are strug- gllng fur place at the National crib. There ls a.dual aspect of the ease, and both sites are struggling as wen never struggled before. What I mean Ig this; The friends of Pres- Ident Hayes, as Ligue for ‘hls departure draws nigh, push thelr clajins with an une usual vehemence, in ordet'to obtain, if pos- sible, some permanent place before his sun ‘shall set forever, apd the friends of Gen, Gar- field are crowding forward with thelr clatine upon the Incoming Adwinistration, deter iuined to make themselves felt, it fy probable that there never was an Ad- ministration during which 80 many National ‘appulntuents'were made Gs FUOM THE PRESIDENT’S OWN STATE as during that of Hayes’, It Ig,not worth while to wake any exhaustive Ilse of these, aa it would take far too much space, It ls | Party tlegare sald to rest Nghtly upon him, | nerslone about March 1. ouly necessary to augzest that tis state of affairs has targely come about trom the fact that the Secretary of the Treasury, the Gen- eral of the Army, and the Chlef-Justice of the Suprete Court of the United States, all arc from this State: and that they, In their subordinate capnelty, lave greatly assisted the President fn his work of appointment. ‘The susceptibility which President Huyes has shown towards appolnting members of Mg OWN HEGIMENT, thelr wives, widows, daughters, alsters, cousins, and aunts, to positions of minor Importance in the Post-Oftice and other branches of the service, Is pecullarly well known, Now, no just person would com- plaln at the recognition of ex-soldlers, and. ex-soldiers’ wilows and children, but many do take decked exceptions to a President: who holds to such professedly high prinet- pleson the Civil Service, appointing In a wholesale way his own Iniuedlate friends, tu the exelusion of equally worthy and com- petent soldiers and widows of other regi- iuents and other States, +.

THE SUPREME BENCH OF THF UNITED ETATES, ‘The obstaele in the way of this appolntinent Js, that two Judges of the Supreme Bench are already from Ohio. One of these, Chief. Justice Walte, {s a comparatively young and vigorous man, and bas a prospect of a long and tenacious career. The other, Associate. Justice Swayne, is old and sumewhat feeble: and there has been thought to be n prospect of getting rid of him, The Administration of President Hayes, as 2 whole, has made, itis said, a sort of combined effort to ret rit of Swayne, but thus far without success. ‘The close of President Hayes’ tern Is zetting dangerously near at hand, and Stanley fs getting proportionately uneasy in regard to Mischances. As Judge Swayne will uot yet go on the retired Ist, OTHER TACTICS have been resorted to. It 1s reported, on the best authority, that re- cently Seeretary Evarts invited the Justice to take dinner with him. In the course of the meal nuthIng unusual occurred; but, at its close, the Sveretary addressed the Justice to the followIng Iutent: | . “Judge, Lam in a great difficulty, For mauy years It hag beun the constant effort of the State Department to obtain the proper sort of man to represent the United States at the Court of St. James, What {fs desired in & Minister to that important Court fs o combination so rare that very few Indeed can answer the description, We want, ln the frst place, n man who fy thoroughly versed In International Jaw; second, a com- petent jurist and adeptin alt the intrleate network of United States und State court Jaw; third, an affable, dignified, and high- toned gentleman, of long, experience in pub- Ne affairs, L know of but one man tn the United States who combines all the qualities Inoue, In short, £ greatly desire TO OFFER You, my dear Judge, this great trust, and hope for your acceptance.” “Yon greatly flatter:me, Mr. Secretary,” the Judge replied, “ and’I fully appreciate the disinterested uuture of your offer; but the fact. is, I nm ° getting old, and f mm uot very well,” and omy wife is also somewhat . infirm; = and Thave no ambition tu taste the diflculties, at my stage of life, of a new fleld of activity. 1 feel that tho retlrement of the Bench is much better sulted to my thne ‘of Ife than a posl- tion abroad would be, In short, Mr. Secre- tury, WUY DON'T YOU TAKE THE PosiTION Your- SELF 2? Mr. Evarts replicd, in substance, to this turn of the conversatioy, that the Hayes Ad- wninistration needed Lim iu his present ea- puclty. And so the Justice still holds his position, and Stanles’s chances. for the succession grow daily less and less hopeful, The question is daily diszussed, here In Ohlo,.whethor Garileld will continue. Hayes’ policy of favoring Ohio men in his appolut- uients. It fs believed that, HE WILL NOT; and to the credit, be it sald, of many with whom I have talked, the hope seems to be quite general that he will not doso, But one thing fs certain: Whatever he may do, Ne keops his own councils, and has absolute- ly made no proniises thus far. He listens to ull suggestions, occasionally takes note of a name, and promises to take things and per- sons under adyiseihent; but further has not gone, é Hayes was pecniinrly an Ohlo man, His clrele was thatof Ohio men.
