Smalley a liepubKtan Journalist.] Jamos Abraham Garfield waa horn No vember 19, 1881, io tho township of Orange, Cuyahogn county, Ohio, about fifteen, milco from Cleveland. His fath er, Abraham Garfield, carno from New York, but like.bia mother, was of New Euglnnd stock. James waa the young oat of four children. The luther di ul To 1888, leaving thc family dependent upon a ?mall farm and the exertions of the mother. There wa:J uothing about the elder Garfield to "stinguisb him from the other plodding farmers of the father steril? township of Grange. No one could discern any qualities in him, which, transmitted to tho next genera tion, might help to make & A statesman, unless it waa industry ; but his wife, who ia still living at an advanced age, was always fond of reading, when she could get leisure from her hard house hold duties, and was a thoroughly capa ble woman, of strong will, stern princi ples and more than average force of character. Of tho children, no one be Hides James hus made the slightest mark in the world. Tho older brother in a farmer in Michigan, end the two sisters are. I .belibvo,. former?' wives. Jumes . had a.tough time.of it as a boy. Ho toiled hard on.the farm, early and late in Summer, and worked at tho carpen ter's bench in Winter. Tho best of it was that ho liked work. There was not a lazy hair on his head. Ho had an ab sorbing ambition to get an education, and the only road jpen to this cud seem ed that of manual labor. Ready money was hard to get in those days. The Ohio Canal ran not far from where he lived, and finding that tho boatmen got their pny iii cash and earned better wagen than he could make at farming or carpentry, he hired out aa ti driver on the towpath, and soon got up to the dignity of holding the helm of a boat. Then he determined to ship aa a sailor on the lakes,, but an attack of fever and.aguo interfered .with his plans." He was lil three months, and when he recovered ho decided to go to a school called Geauga Academy, In an adjoining county. -His mother had saved a small sum Of money, which Bhe gave him, with a few cooking utensils and a stock of provisional He hired a sinnll room and cooked his own food to make his expenses,, ns light as possible. Ho paid bis own way alter that, never calling on his mother for any more as sistance. By working nt the carpenter's bench mornings and evenings and- .vaca tion tittes, and teaching country schools io tho Winter, ho managed to attend tho academy during the Spring and Fall terms and to cave a little money towards going to college. Ho had. excellent health, a robust . frame and a capital memory, and the attempt to combine mental and pyaical work, which has broken down many farmer boys ambi tious to get an education, did not hurt him. GARFIELD AT COI-LEQE.. When he waa twenty-three years of age bo concluded he had got about all there waa to ba bad io tho obscuro cross rotds academy. Ho. calculated- that he bad saved about half enough money to get through college, provided he could begin, as he hoped, with . the-junior'year. He got a life insurance- policy .anet assigned it to to a gentleman as security for a loan to mako np the amount' ho lacked. In the Fall of 1854 he entered tito junior class of Williams College, Massachusetts, and graduated in 185G with' the meta physical honors of bis class. I have seen n daguerreotype of bim tekeu about this tim?. It represents a rather awkward youth, wiih a shock of light hair, stand ing straight up from u big-forehead, and a trank, thoughtful,face,rvfiitcvery mark ed German typo. There is nota drop ot' German, blood in .the Garfield family but this picture, would; be taken " for sorpo Fritz cr Carl, j uat over from the Fath erland. Before he-vent to college Garfield bad connected himself with the Disciples; a Beet having a numerous membership in Eastern and. Southern Ohio, West Vlr^ g?nia and Kentucky, where its founder, A. lexandbi- Campbell, had tra voled and preached. The principal peculiarities of the denomination are their refusal to formulate their belief', into, a creed, tho independence of each congregation,-, thc hospitality ard fraternas iceling of tba members, and tho lac!: of a regular ministry. When Garfield . returned to Ohio it was natural that he .should soon gravitate to the struggling little college of the young Beet ut Hiram;"Portage county, near his boyhood's home.. He becamo professor or Latia and .Greek, and threw himself with tho .energy; and industry, which are leading traits of his character, into the work of building up the institution. Before he had been two years in his professorship he wns Ap pointed President of the college.1 Hi ram is a lonesome country Village, three miles from a railroad, built upon a high hill, overlooking twenty miles of cbecso tnaking country to the southward. It -.-ontains fifty/? i; ,*ixty houses clustered ai >und the green, in the centre of which stands the homely red brick college structnro. Plain living and high think ing waa tho order of things at Hiram College ia those days. The teachers were poor, and the' institution was poor, i-*L*-_kJ_i .ti_I A.;.i.

HU IIVUUDUf ly spoke nu Sundays in the churches of the towns in the vicinity,to create an interest in tho college. Among the His - ci?les any one can preach who has a mind to, no ordination "being required. . From these Sunday discourses came the story" that Garfield waa a tniuister. Ho never considered himself tmch, and never, hrtd any intention of. finding a career in the pulpit. luis amr'tiou, if He bad any outside of tho school, lay in tho ? direc tion Of law and polities. IU8 MARRIAGE. During his professorship Garfield married Miss Lucretia Rudolph, daugh ter of a farmer in the neighborhood, whoso acquaintance he had made while at tbs neadessy, rhcrs abc was also ? pupil. She was a quiet, thoughtful girl, of singularly sweet and refined disposi tion, fond of study and reading, possess' sing a warm heart and a mind with the capacity cf ateady gre-ih.. The marri-. , age waa a love affair on both sides and has been a thoroughly happy one. Much of Gem G-arflold'a subsequent suc cess ' in life may be attributed to ? thc norw failing sympathy and intellectual companionship of bis wife and the stim ulus of a loving homo circle. Tho young couple, bought a neat little cottage fronting on the college campus and bo San their wedded Hie poor and in debt, ut with brave hearts. In 1859 the College President waa elected to tho State Senate from the counties of Portage and Summit He did not re: Vga hia Presidency, because he looked opon ?T?w m??tbs in the Legis lature aa an episode not likely to change the courte of bia life. But the war carno to alter all bis plana. During |Lha Win ter of 18C1 he waa active in tho passage of measures for arming the State militia, aud bia eloquence anden?rgy m rulo him a conaploDoua leader of the Union party. Early in the Bummer of 1861 be waa elected Colonel of an infantry regiment (the Forty-second), raised in Northern Ohio, many of the soldiers in which bad been students at Hiram. He took tho field in Earlero Kentucky, waa soon put in command of a brigade, and, by mak ing one of the bardeat niarchea ever made by recruits, Hurprised and routed the Hebel forcea, under Humphrey Mar shall at Piketon. From Eastern Kentucky General Our field waa transferred to Louis vii lo and from that place hastened to join the ar my of G/..nura I Buell, which be reached with bia brigade in time to participate in the second day's fighting at Pittsburg Landing. Ho took part in the siege of Corinth and in the operations along the Memphis and Charleston Railroad. In January 186$, he waa appointed chief of stall* nf tho Army, of the Cumberland, and bore a prominent part'in all the cam paigns in Middle Tennessee in tho Spring mid Bummer of that year. Hi? last con spicuously military service waa at the battlo of Chlckamauga. For bia conduct in that battlo he was promoted to a ma jor-genefajsbip. It ia said that he wrote al! too, ;ordere given to the army that day and submitted them to General Rose crans for approval, eave one. The ons he did not write was the fatal order to Gen eral Wood, which waa so worded as not to correctly convey tho meaning of the commanding general and which caused the destruction of the right tring of the army. ELECTED TO CONGRESS. The Congressional District In which Gar?eld lived waa the ooo long inado famous by Joshua R. Giddings. The old an ti-slavery champion grew careless of tho arts of politics toward the end of his career, and carno to look upon a nomination and re-election aa a matter of course. His over confidence waa taken advantage of in 1K58, by an ambitious lawyer named Hutchins, to carry a Con vention againat him. Tho friends of Giddlinga never forgave Hutchino, aud cast about for means of defeating him. Tho old man was comfortably quartered in his Consulate at Montreal, and did not care to make u fight to get back to Congres. Sp bia (supporters made use of tho popularity-of Gen. Garfied and nom inated him, while he'was in the field, without asking hie consent. This VF a in 1862. When he heard of the nomina tion Garfield reflected that it would be fifteen months before the Congress would meet to which he would be elected, and be lieving, aa did every one else, that the war could not possibly last a year longer, concluded to accept.' I have often heard him expresa regret that he did not help fight the 'var through, and say that he nev er would hive left the army to go to Con gress bad he foreseen thab the atrugglo would be continued beyond the year 18133. He continued h?8 military service up to the time Congress met. On entering Congress in December, 1863, Gen. Garfield was placed upon the Committeo on Military Affaira, with Schenck and Fransworth, who were alao fresh from the field. He took an active part io the debate of the House nnd won a recognition which few new members succeed in gaining. He was not popu lar among his fellow-members during bis first term.* They thought him some thing of a pedant because bo sometimes showed bis scholarship in his speeches, and they were jealous of hh? prominence. His solid attainments and amiable so cial qualities enabled bim to overcome this prejudice during the socond term, and he became on terms of close friend ship with the best men in both Houses. Ilia committee Bervice during his second term was on the Ways and Means, which was quite to his taste, for it gave him au opportunity to prosecute the studier in finance and political economy which he had always felt a foundneas fer. He was a hard workor and a great reader in those 'days, going homo with bis arms full of 1 booka from the Congressional Library, and sitting up late at nighta to read them. It waa then that he laid thc ?foundation of the convictions on the 'subject of National finance which he haa 'nineo held to firmly amid all the storms of political agitation. He waa renom inated in 1784, without opposition; but in 1866, Mr. Hutchins, whom he bcd supplanted, made ac effort to defeat him. Hutchins canvassed the district'thor oughly, but the Convention nominated Gur'ielii by acclamation. He has had no .opposition nineo in his or/n party. In 1872 the Liberals and Democrats unit ed to beat him, but his majority wat ,larger tuan ever. In 1874 the Green backers and Democrats combined and put up a popular soldier against him, bul thoy made no impressions on the result ?Tho Ashtabula District, as it ia generally called, ia tho mont faithful to ita repre sentative of any is the North. It hoi had but four member* in half a century, HIS WORK tN CONGRESS. ' In the Fortieth Cougrces General Gar ifield was Chairman of the Committee on LiUitary Affaira. In the Forty-first,-hr .van given the chairmanship of Banking ;and Currency, which he liked much bet ter, because it was iii the Uno of his financial studies. ' His next promotion ?waa to the chalrine.tahip of the Appro jpr??tion Committee, ybJch hidd.until tho Democrats carno into power in the .House, 1875. His' chief work on thal {.committee was a steady and judiclom ?reduction of the expenses of tho Govern' T.? ?ll |J,? "c?itiC"! .?MXOIM tr ?Congress he bas borne a leading part, hil clear, vigorous and moderate atyle o ?argument making, him one of the mosi tcOeCUve dobatera in either House. When James G. Blaine weht to tin (Senate, lu 1877, the mantle of Repu bl i eau leadership in the House was, bj common contient, placed upon Garfield and he has worn it eve? ai nco. In Jami ary laat, Gen. Garfield was elected to tbi Senate, te tho seat which will be vacatec S' Allen G. Thurman, on the 4th o arch, 1881. He received tho tinanl mous vo'e of tho Republican caucup, ar ! honor never given to any man of an) .pf.ty in the State of Ohio. Since lilt 'election he has been the recipient of man] complimentary manifestations In Wash ' Ingvoii Bud Ohio. GARFIELD "AB A LEADER. As a leader in tho House, ho is mon cautious and less dashing than Blaine abd bis judicial tarn nf mind makes bin too prone to look for two aides of a qu'es tlon for bim to be an efficient partisan When the issue fairly touches his con ? victiona, however, he becomes thorough!; aroused, and strikes tremendous blown Blaine's tactics were to continua!,; harass tbe enemy by sharp shoot!no surprises and picket firlug.

Tbei his solid snots of argument nrooxcecdingl effective. On the stump Garfield ls on of th* very best oratora In the Ropubli can party. He has a gaoi voice; an al [ of ?vident sincerity, great clearness an rigor of statement sad ft vuy of knlttiug bis arguments together eo aa to make a ?peech deepen ita impresi?n ou th? mind of tho hearer until the climax ts reached. Of his industry and .studious habita a great deal might bo said, but a elogio illustration will have to euflice here. Once during the busiest part of a very busy session at Washington, I found him ir. bia library, behind o big barricade of books. This waa no unusual sight, but when I glanced at tho volumes I saw that they were all difieren?, editions of Horace, or booka relating to that poet. "I find I am overworked and need re creation," said tho General. "Now my theory is that the beat way to rest the mi nd ts not to let it be idle. ; but to put it at something quite outside of the . ordinary line of ita employment.. So. I M am resting by learning al! tba Congres-1* ional Library can show about. Horace and tile various editions and translations of bia poems." OAKFIELD'AT HOME, General Garfield ia tho possessor of two homes and his family t..!?ratos twice' a year. Some ten years ugo, finding how unsatisfactory lifo was Tti bot?la aud boarding houses, be bought ? lot of ground on the corner of .Thirteenth and I streets, in Washington, and with money borrowed of a friend built & plain, sub stantial, threO'Story house, ? wing was extended afterwards, to make :room for 'the fast-growing library. The money waa repaid in time, and was- probably saved to great part' from what would otherwise nave gone to landlords. The children grew- up in pleasant home sur roundings,'' and the houae b. carno the centro of much simple and cordial hos pitality. Five or six years ago the- little cottage at Hiram- was'aold, and for a timo die only residence the Garfield* had in bis District was a summer houso be built on Little Mountain, a bold eleva tion in Lake county, which commands a view of thirty miles'of rich farming country '? stretched along the shore of Lake Erie. Three' years ago he bought a farm in Mentor, in the same county, lying on both Bides of tho Lako Shore aud Michigan Southern Railroad. Hero his family spend all the time v/hen ho is free from his duties in Washington. The farm house Ia a low, old fashioned story tmd-a-half building, but its limited ac commodations have been supplemented by numerous outbuildings, onb of wHch Gen. Garfield unca ?'or office and library purposes. Tho farm contains about ono hundred ami twenty acres of excellent land, in a high state of cultivation, and tho Congressman' finds, a recreatlon,?of which he - never tires, in directing the field work and making improvements in the buildings, fences and orchards. Cleveland is only twcnty-G vo mties away ; ',' there ts a postomco ana a railway station within half a mile, - and tho pretty coun try town of Faiocaville ia but five miles distant. One of the pleasures of summer life on the Garfield farm is a drive of twp miles'through the woods to the lake shore and a bath ru tho breakers. Gen. Garfield bas five children Hying, and has lost two, who died in infancy. His mother is still living, and bas long been a member of his family. In person j Gen. Garfield is aix feet high, broad shouldered and strongly built. Ho has an unusually large head, that seems to be j!three-fourths forehead ; light brown hair j and beard, large, light blue eyes, a prom Inent nose and full cheeks. He dresses Elaloly, is fond pf broad-bri??med slouch ats and stout boots, cat3heartily 4 cares nothing for luxurious living; ia thorough ly temperate in all respecta save tu that of brain work, and is devoted to his wife and children and very fond of his country home.

NEW YOKE, June 15 The steamer "The Queen," which ar rived here, reports: that on Jane 13, SOO miles east of Sandy.

Both ves sels were very seriously damaged, and fov a while it was thought both, would go l] down. "The Queen's ? bow wasstove in.

Convention they are very hard to please. Tho nominations at Chicago do not indeed justify tho Democrats m expecting bk win with tho h inted candi date of a divided party. But,they do atriply justify the Democrats lu expect lng to win With a re?l rejrtC?entative of tho nriticiplcj of tho Democratic party, upon which this nation WM prosperously governed through ibr?o-quarters or iui existence, and upon which in substanco peace has beeu ra-e'itr.olUhed since tho close of the great civil war. The uomf naUoi. of Garfield is not only a compro miso. It ia a weak and timid compro mise. For several d&ys it bas been evi dent that thc contest for tbs nomination lay between Grant and nomo outsider who had so far developed no, airongtli whatever in the Convention. Gen. Gar field was tho likeliest man for the nomi nation, since Gen. Garfield, besides hav ing a certain poaitive strength in the party, bas excited ho,active enmities in tue- party, and, moro important- ?.till, since Gen. Garfield is a citir.cn of Ohio, ? a generally Republican State, which holds ah election in October. Tho cow ardice of the compromise lay in this last fAut. When tho Republicana consider lt necessary to nominate a man, as they nominated Hayes in 1870, and as they have now hominated Garfield, for tho purpose of making sure of ?he vote of Ohio in the local October election, they abow in the cleanest'way that they sro far from feeling any confidence ns to the result of thc genornlclectloo in Novem-; ber. It would have been idle for the . Chicago Convention to nominate any man who could not hope to carry Ohio. In fishing for a sprat, therefore, tbe Re publicans have thrown away their whales. The leadership of Cameron, in Pennsylvania and of Conkling-hr Now York bas been not only challenged but overthrown. Mri Garfield' being thus merely an average Republican candidate-a man; whose strength in ho way transcends the' party strength, as doe* Gen. Grant's strength, for example, and who ? will/for tho reasons we have given fail to com mand even the party Btrcngth in'Ino all important States of New York and Pohn Bylvanla-^it ia plain that only ordinary Henee hud ordinary, pitidcdce'will ba re quired' at O? rici u n ati to make a Demo cratic victory obre. But the Democrats will bo even more helped by the scarcely credible folly of tho Republicans' in nominating-Gen; Arthur for the Vice Presidency. Gen-. Arthur is not only BS much ns Governor Cornell the embodi ment in-the imagination of the Republi can scratchers of the machine politics which chiefly excite the aversion - of In dependent Republicans, bub Qom Arthur now does not oven represent tho-Repub lican machine.

" GARFIELD'S ELECTION IMPOSSIBLE* IP BTATE8MAN8B?P AND PATRIOTISM BULB AT CINCINNATI. . [Editorial Leiter in Philadelphia Tima.} I share the general conviction of most of the delegates who mndo the nomina* tion of Garfield; tbit ba ic not likely to prove a strong candidate. He has hum a gallant soldier. He bas filled a high meaeure of civil'trust He bas risen to i the leadership cf the House. He is able in disputation and io justly esteemed aa patriotic ; -but few would single him out as a great administrator, and he follows too closely in tho foot-steps of Hayes to awaken either popular enthusiasm or command intelligent, trust. He would not be the type of Executive that tho humiliating experience of the last nearly four years lias impressed upon the posi tivo Republican leader? as an imperative necessity. It was the pitiabl? weakness of Hayes that made it posaablo to anchor over three hundred votea in tLo conven* - tion in favor of Grant, with all the blom* lah of. his administration, and while the Erty will accept Garfield with median il unity the desperate courage and un scrupulous strategy ; which made Hayes President will not be repeated for Gar field by the only men wno. could repeat it.

Th? ?5kn, la ita report of F^dW's 'dei bato in the House of Representatives on the Deputy Marslmln bill, says that at the eonelnsion of Mr. Harris'speech Mr. Cox took tho flour. Tho Republicans faced about in their seats towards bim. The Democrats poured down' the aisles and look seato where they could bear. In the sharp, bitter-tones which Mr. Cox invariably USP? when pouring showers of sarcasm noon 'bia opponents, he accused the Republicana or abandoning their noble standard-bearer. There .was sufil cient inflection of voice' in his pronun ciation of the' word "noble''' to raise -a laugh among the Democrats. Mr. Cox said that ho did not approve of the pending bili, as he waa opposed to all Federal interference trith elections in tho States, but he should Vote for it as a modification of tho rigors of the present law. Fdr the present bill the House was Sreatly indebted to James Abram Oar eld. "Yon," be exclaimed, "are attack ing him in the house of his friends." Mr. Cox said that Garfield waa the author, of the essence of tho bill, and that opposition to it caroo with.bad grace from those who pretended to support him. He asked tba gentleman from Michigan (Mr, Hubbcllfwhy it waa that lio Waa acting against Garfield. Tho gentleman had better walt until after the Cincinnati Convention, or tho Greenback arrangement, or something. Mr. Hubbell-I will take that into consid?ration, Mr, Cox-Will you voto fot this1 bill 7 Mr. Hubboll-No, air. ?The Republicans bad already begun to writhe and twist at the manus* lu which the New Yorker addressed them, and Jud go Kelley, ol" Pennsylvania, aroso to re^'Are Vou for thia bill, my friend?" asked . Mft Cox, sharply, pointing hts finger al tho old gentleman. "No, eir,'f answered Mr. Kelley, who was quickly nut upon tho witness stand, before he had an opportunity to say any thing iU defence. "Then, you aro against Garfield," shouted Mr. Cox. amid roars of laughter. Mr. Kelley took ola seat. . Hr. Cox then referred to General Haw ley, whom hs spoke of as one bf the beat mon io tho' House, "and as the average honest man of tho party." (Laughter;) But yet he (Mr. Cox) could ?not for the lifo of bim tell on which aide of the ques tion be (Mr.. Hawlev) was-whether' lie was for or against tho bill-whether he was foe Garfield or against Garfield-6 little of both, ho imagined. ; (Laughter.] That gentleman had lust made a speech in v.-Inch ho arraigned the Democrats foi their course on the tarif;. "Don't you know," exclaimed Mr. Cox, "that Gar field, by bis resoluto opposition, to"thc bill to abolish the duty on wood pulp and materials which enter into the mam ufacture of printing paper, stabbed thc tariff Under, the fifth rib?

"I happen to be for both of thom 01 th'* bill/' replied Mr. Kelley. "I love to hear tho stentorian voico o my old friend raised for greenback!

"I know that my f-.tend is soun on the tariff," added Mr. Cox, "and the therefore, he sustains Garfield, Is nc Garfield sound on tho tariff? If not, m friend would not vote for him." Judge Kelley, who bad maintaine himself upon the floor, replied that h was satisfied with Garfield, whoreUpo tho Republicans applauded. "Don't you know that Garfield is member ot the Cobden Club?" exclaime Mr. Cox. Tho Democrats applauded, and cries < "No, no," were heard from among tl Republicans. >,. Mr. Carlisle asked permission to rea an extract from a speech delivered L General Garfield in 1866, and repeate by him again in 1870. In this spe?c Garfield says:,-"I am for a prctectlo which leads to ultimate free trade, am for tbat free trade which can only I achieved through a reasonable prate lion." The Republicans cheered to tl echo these sentiments. . "Aro you for a .protection that wi lead to free trade?" aaid Mr. Coav pota lng bia finger at Mr. Kelley, xhe o gentleman dared not answer in the ntfirr atlve, ?nd seemed for once at a loss f words to reply. "You repudiated GB field when ne was a candidate for speak and voted for Hendrick B.

Mr. Conger exclaimed: "He ls t! best of us all," But before be had tit to continue, Mr. Cox, hastily drpppli Mr. Kelley, pointed his finger at t Michigan repr?sent?t!veand said : "No atop.
