During the lato presidential cam- paign the Omaha Herald was the most indecent and virulent defawer of the personal character and public record of Jamos A. Garfield in this section of the country. Tt's daily teemed with the most malicious false- hoods respecting Mr. Garfield's con- gressional career—a carcer which has gone down to history as one the pur- est and most useful in our national annals—and his very name was seldom mentioned without the prefix of fraud or hypoerite, or De Golyer. Even his long and wearisome sickness was [heralded by Dr. Miller as a po- litical ruse to oatch votes in New York and gain the sympathy of the country for his admuinistration, and the public was informed on the professional authority of the editor of the Herald that Mr. Blaine was delegated by the president to perform the chief part in agreat farce whereby the country was to be gulled into sympathizing over the pretended sickness of a con- valescent, Hardly has the body of the nation’s dead been committed to the grave, when the Herald, trueto its instincts, takes up its slanderous attacks at the point where it laid them down a fow weeks since, and has the boldness to print the following infamous slander respecting the administration of James A. Garfield: The only distinct policy which the late president had clearly defined and avowed was the policy of putting down Mr. Roscoe Conkling as a leader in the republican Israel, and of putting up James G. Blaine. The most moss-backed and rock-rost- ed bourbon journals in the east would blush to print such a lying and ma- licious statement. The policy cut- lined by President Garfield and in process of being carried into active operation at the time of his assassina- tion was distinctively the broadest, most liberal and at the same time the most aggressive of any since the time when Abraliam Lineoln was called upon to grapple with the great politi- cal problems which were the out- growth of slavery and the war of se- cession. That policy as lined in his inaugural ‘address was as follows: To maintain the su- premacy of the nation; to protect the citizenship of the negroes, to promote the freedom and purity of the ballot; to aid 1 summoning all the constitu- tional powers of the nation and of the states and all the volunteer forces of the people to meet the danger of il- literacy by the saving influence of uni- versal education;” to defend specie payments against any new. revival of prejudice and, ignorance and refund the public debt at low rates of interest; to nssert the rights of the United States to supervise any interoceanic canal across the isthmus; to break up polygamy in Utah by the aid of wise congressisnal enactments, and to promote oiyil service reform by.urging congress to.pass a law to fix the tenures “‘of the mincr offices of the severaliexectitive departments, and prescribe the grounds for ‘which removals should be made.” Such was the policy outlined by President Garfield ‘and the whole country is united in- the verdict that no president accomplished 80 ‘much for the country in the line of admin- istrative work in so short a time. Calling to his assistance an able body of advisers, he broke up many seri- ousabusesin the departments, crushed out of existence tho star route ring saving to the government millions of dollars; refunded the public debt on most advantageous terms after con- gress had been' for months-dallying in masterful inaction over the question, and introduced throughout -the whole publio, service, at. Washington a tono of “eforgétic roform, which was already beginning to bear excellent fruit; 'v\*lun its Aulhor,frnl stricken down by an sabasin’s bullet. ~ Presi- dent ‘Garfipld noither defingd nor avowed the policy of “‘putting down” M. Cohkling and “‘putting up” Mr. Blaine. Mr., Conkling' was unfor- unate enough and presumptive enough to force a collision with a stronger man, and the people of his own state sent him to the wall. At this day cven the most bit- ter enemics of the administration are forced to admit that in the senatorial contest there was nothing personal in General Garfield’s manly stand for ex- ecutive rights, It is left for a con- scienceless journal in Nebraska to cast the first dirty tling at the motives of o man whose death for the republic has enshrined him in the hearts of the people, and whose spotless char- acter and brilliant* public' carcer will always be one of the most precious of the nation's heritages. ST —— Mr. Javes' admirable business management of the New York post ofice has been fully maintained by his successor, Poatmaster Pearson, ‘The returns just forwarded to Wash- ington of the operations of the office for the past quarter show what effi- ciency in the service can do, not only for the patrons of the department but also for the government, Since July 1 the expenses of the New York office were §217,802 and the income $927,- 403, leaying a net revenue to the gov- ernment of $739,169, There is no fact more sure than officient management of postoffices in the larger cities is in the iuterest columns out- I'HE OMAHA DAILY BEE: TUESDAY H(‘THBER 4, 1831 of the merchants no less than that of | River Improvement Comvention. the departments. The success of Postmaster James as a public officer rested entirely on the fact that he at- tonded strictly to his business and employed no subordinates who were not equally competent and faithful in the discharge of their duties. If the merchants of New York were com- pelled to perform the duties of postal clerks in sorting the mail and return- ing it to their proper owners, as is frequently the case in this city, we would probably hear less favorable reports of the institution and be called upon to record small receipts and net rovenue, PresipENT ARTHUR is determined to use every effort to push to a speedy termination the trials of the star- route contractors, indicted for frauds against the government. Information has been filed against Brady, Turner, French, McDonough and Brown, and the prosecution will present six bills of indictments before the 10th of the enrrent month. During the whole of the president’s sickness, Attorney- General MacVeagh has been steadily accumulating a mass of evidence against the accused parties which it is said can not be broken down. The startling discovery has been made that District Attorney Corkhill has been in collusion with the ring with the object of shielding them from prosecution. President Arthur will at once nominate a successor to Mr. Corkhill, but in the mean time the cases are in hands where they can not be mismanaged by bribery or quashed by corruption SexaTor JoxEs, of Nevada, is rep- resented as saying that he would not accept any cabinet appointment within the gift of the president. This confirms the views expressed by T Bee concerning the report of the probable appointment of Senator Jones as secretary of the treasury. Senator Zones could have had a position in Genetal Grant's cabinet, but his am- bition does not tend in that direction, and his private business interests pre- vent him from devoting his whole time to public affairs. There is no doubt, however, that Senator Jones will wield as much influence with Presi- dent Arthur and his admmistration as any cabinet officer. Avrnovon there is now more coin in circulation in this country than there was at any time within our his- tory, the volume of bank notes was never so large as now. The notion that, under existing conditions, there i8 1o profit in national bank circula- tion is not supported by the history of the banks at large during the past year. Within twelve months the mnet increase of circulation has been $15,000,000, or at the rate of $1,250,000 a mcnth. Over two-thirds of the gain has taken place since last spring. The increase is divided between old and new banks (fifby-two), with $6,700,000 capital, having organized within six months. UNurss members of the present cabinet absolutely insist upon retiring the present month, there will be no attempt to reorganize the cabinet un- til the regular session of congress in december. There is, however, a very strong probability that Windom and Blaine will insist on heing relieved right away, and in that case the Pres- ident'will send the names of thejr successors to the senate during the special session. S—— Dux, Winam & Co's. statements of failures for the nine months ending September 30, 1881, indicates * a marked increase in the number of failures and in the amount of liabili« ties over the corresponding period of last year. The greatest proportion of the increase comes from the south, Murar Harsteap, who interviewed President Arthur in New York Satur- day, telegraphs to his paper, the Cin- cinnati Commercial, that the president manifests much interest in the out- eome of the Ohio campaign and ap- pears very anxious that Governor Fos- ter shall be re-elected by a rousing majority, Mgz. ConNkrING has very wisely de- cided to make no contest tora seat in the New York state convention. This will remove all cause for discord and the convention will transact its busi- ness without exciting bitter factional feeling, that would inevitably have proved fatal to the republican ticket. —_—— JuLius Ross, a rock-rcoted and cop- per-buttressed democrat, was one of the judges of election in the Third ward at the late republican primary, which goes to show how reliable these Omaha primaries are as exponents of republican sentiment.

St. Louis Republican The approaching convention ' to consider the subject of improving the Mississippi river is a movement of much greater importance to the states of the west than many, perhaps most, people comprehend. It may prove of great consequence as welllfor what it shall fail to do as for what it may actually do. The greatest drawback in prosecuting the work of an im- provement of the great river of the union hus been the want of a fixed plan sufficiently comprehensive to meet the needs of the vast commerce of this valley. The details of method in curbing and confining the channel, though important, are not now allud- ed to, but the scope and thorough- ness of the work needed is that which has not been settled in the minds of even western leguslators. The idea that the great alluvial bottoms skirt- ing the Mississippi river throughout its course, from its source to its mouth cannot be reclaimed, or, being reclaimed, cannot be secured against the annual floods, and that the banks and levees which ought to protect them cannot be made as permanent as the very hills, must be erndicated from the minds of those who move in the cause of this valley. The Hollanders reclaimed a country from the very ocean itself. The banks of the Missouri river have been fixed through stretches of miles at some of the most difficlt places, and the current of the stream, in its most aggressive and treacherous moods, held in perfect control. There is nothing about the proposition to fix the channels of these streams which is either impossible or doubtful. Its perfect success requires only the ap- plication of sufficient means—such means as the object fully justifies the use of., This permanent establish- ment of the banks and currents means, of course, a perpetual reliable deep channel and easy, safe and cheap navigation, A permanent channel filled with the confined waters of the Missouri and Missippi rivers means always ample depth anc. safe navi- gation, Shallow water nowhere ex- ists onthese rivers, or either of them in the lower portions where there is no shifting ordiversion of the cur- rents. These wre the foundatiom truths which must underlie all proper and adequate efforts for government aid. Any application for assistance can be plausibly resisted if based on any other ground, as a scheme for the investment of the public treasure in teraporary and perishing works not justifying the national attention. ‘Worth Inquiring Into. San Francisco Chronicle, The Tombstone Nugget expresses the opinion that the recent outbreak of Apaches in Eastern Arizona was, in popular parlance, a ‘‘putup-job” in the interest of the Southern Pacific railroad. In the region of the alleged disturbance there are valuable coal lands, which the railroad company de- sires to acquire. These lands, being a portion of the Indian reservation, are not subject to lecation and occu- pancy by the whites. Aun offer of $40 per Indian, mude by the railroad com- pany for the lands, was promptly re- jected. Immediately afterwards oc- curred a greai hullaballoo;’ quite a number of soldiers, settlers and In- dians were killed; troops poured in with greater promptness than is usual- ly the case when merely the interests of the public are to be subserved, and now newspapers in Arizona which are presumed to be friendly to the railroad company have raised a loud outery for t"e remcval of the Indians. The history of the owners of the South- ern Pacific railroad is such that suspicions of the above nature are naturally aroused. = The matter should be investigated, for human life has been sacrificed, and alarm has Ipervnded every quarter of Arizona, - If milif officers partici- pated in the plot, and sent false re- Eoru and telegrams, as many persons elieve, they should be court-mar- tialed for so doing. In spite of the selfish plans of the railroad company, however, it would doubtless be wise to remove the Indians from the terri- tory. Their presence is a constant menace to peaceful settlers and min- ors Him Rest. Cincinnati Enquirer.

New York Star, In tho large dissecting room on the upper floor of the University medical college, opposite the Bellevue hospi- tal, a Star reporter yesterday found James Walsh, the embalmer of the body of the late president. He was engaged by Bennett, the undertaker, to whom lis reputation was well known, Mr. Walsh has been con- nected for several years with the Uni- versity medical college, where he su- perintends tho preparation and pres- ervation of bodies for dissection, He has been well known for yearsas a successful embalmer, and among the many bodies he has embalmed are those of Rev. Father Dalv, of St. Vincent Ferrer's church, the body of Rev, Dr, Washburn, whose funeral services were held five months after death, and that of the wife of Gen, . Day. Mr. Walshffarrived at Elberon at 12:30 p. m. on Tuesday. Half an hour later he injected the body from the left femoral artery upward and downward in order to prepare it for the post mortem examination. Im- mediately .after the examination, which was begun at 5:30 p. m. and lasted until 7:30 p. m., Mr. Walsh cominenced the work of embalming. With a preparation invented by him- self he injected the lower extremities through the external iliac arteries. The arms were injected through the subclavian arteries and the body through the right com- mon carotid artery. It was not necessary to open the latter at the neck, as the opening previously made for the examination sufficed. The embalming process was begun at 7:30 p. m. and was completed in two hours and a half. No ice is therefore used to preserve the body during its long {numay to its last home, the process aving been complete and successful to the extreme. Mr. Walsh had never seen the pres- ident during life, but he says the body did not seem very emaciated when the length of time he had been suffer- ing is considered —— A Letter from Mrs. Gen. Fremont. To the Editor of the New York Herald, Mlkinfi visits in Washington one day, in the spring of 1870, 1 returned that of Mrs. Garfield, and, after ge- ing into her house, I was a little put out to be told by the servant that ‘it was a mistake, for Mrs. Garfield was out.’” March weather is so rough in Washington that a throat subject to bronchitis flinches from passing from the shelter of the carriage across those wide, wind-swept pavements in- to the warm houses and back again oftener than necessary. So when the servant ran down to ask that 1 would come in again, that ‘‘the general's mother had read the card and wished to sec me,” I went back, chiefly moved by the habit of never willingly disappointing a child or anaged person. Little children believe in the good will of every one, while the old—what disappointments have they not met! I was glad then that I did go back. Now, the historical picture that visit gave me makes me speak this word for the mother of General Garfield. Mrs. Garfield wished to see and know me because of ‘‘my (her) son’s” (such tender pride in the little words!) deep interest in the work for the cause we all had done our best for in 1859 and had continued to work for until the war closed that chapter of the nation’s history. She was very small and quiet, but full of fresh interest in the clear knowledge of events and men, and un- derstood large motives; a woman who had shared the life of a growing man and a growing nation. Turning to more personal topics and the bringing up of boys, which she dwelt on as so much the mothers work, Mrs, Gar- field told us of her own ‘‘good son.” Thad with me a New York friend, still young and only knowing surface conventional life. Her eyes were wet as this mother told— quite simply and as matter of course—of her lonely early life and its struggles and priva- tions, and now of the exceeding great regard she had in ‘‘my son’s” success and his loving care for her; of the place he gave her in his life, and in this new” home where—all the war and dangers safely ended—they were to dwell together in peace. Just then General Garfield himself entered. Hearing I was there he cams in to see me, going first, how- ever, to his mother and giving her the evidently accustomed kiss of greeting, and, still holding her hand, thanked me for ‘‘coming back to please his mother.” So I see them, The little gray mother at rest in the love of a good son; she 80 frail and spent with the battle of life; he so nobly strong and bright and glad. It did not look so when I saw him next, this last May, when tho Farragut statue was unveiled. The light had gone out; both form and face were stamped with endurance and hard re- solve, in place of the bright, spontan- eous courage so marked on his earlier face. When a man has been the tar- et for the poisoned arrows of a Pres- idential campaign, he may be as stoical as an Indian, but the scar remains. And this marked change was still more noticeable the last time I saw the president—the 17th of June. We now know that the following morning, the 18th of June, had been originally fixed by his assassin as the time for his act. That morning I, too, left Washington on the same train. How unconscious we all were of the close- lying tragedy! Something had to be referred to the president, and I had gone down to see it through the necessary departments, ending with an appoint- ment from the president ‘‘for 4 o'clock this afternoon.” I was there punctually when the president came in and dropped—not sat down, but let himself go—into an armed chair; o fixed sadness was on his face, and the loss of all red tinge from the skin made me tell him 1 was glad they were both going away from that un- healthy house. Mrs, Garfield’s dan- gerous illness had, T knew, greatly grieved him. Beyond that was a look of how little worth! v, weary earth! the look of one who has got behind the scenes and counts the cost and finds it great. The rest by the sea at fated Elberon restored much of his own manner and me he remains as T saw him the first and the last times—the fond good son, holding the hand of his little mother, and pleased with one who had given ber a pleasure, and the considerate gentleman who, out of his troubled and crowded time, had sent for me that he might say personally what ‘might have been put in writing. From the outside no one can judge, but it seems like mistaken kindness that mother and son should have been apart when the end came. What if it should end his feeble life? She had never counted the cost of being a mother. For myself I would have better liked that the mether heart that answered to his every baby cry had been beside him when his "great heart broke; that the hand I had seen 80 fondly oustretchod to hers should tiave found hers also when he was reaching out into the great darkness. This family has been long held un- der the burning glass of public inspec- tion, Out of the scrutiny has come one vnbroken impression of respect and tenderest pity, Their uprightness and simplicity, their united and look, but I did not see him again. To | . blameless domestic life, their genuine Christian silence and dignity have roused to expression the best under- lying feeling of our whole country, and found response throughout the world—most beautifully from Eng- land. Tt was a good thought to take from death the added sting of pover- ty, and the original sum named has been more than made up. The power of the American peo- ple rarely finds expression. Its usual form is only a delegated power through their representatives; but where they can act directly the ex- Erauinn is singularly true and forci- le. Often our nation has shown it has the heart to feel and the hand to give, but never has it expressed itself 80 unitedly and so overwhelmingly as now. And I am sure 1 speak the feeling of many and many a son when I suggest that a part of the remaining ift of the people should be set asiae or the venerable mother of our dead president. Looking back—past the agony, past the conflict of power— back to the quiet time when I saw him in his home with his mother, I realize how this would meet his feel- ing. He is beyond our ad. But there comes before me clearly the bright, frank manner of his saying, ““Thank you for giving a pleasure to my mother.” JESSIE BENTON FREMONT. POETRY OF THE TIMES. Response.
