June 18,1880.--Dear Charley : Your postal card of the 14 th inst.. asking mm to refresh your mind as to dates, facts etc., of an incident which occurred dnriti? the War of 1801. and in which Gon. Garfleld was nn nctor, and I a spectater. was duly rocolved, and I herewith attempt to comply with your request: After the great atid sanguinary battle of (^hickamaugft, (I think in the latter part of October. 1863). I was bound north on a twenty dnys furlough. At Louiaville 1 met Gens. Garfield and Steedman. Garfield was going to Congress, and Steedman North on business. Gar Held had been our com­ manding General's Ohief-of-Staff, and Steedman commanded a fine division of the same army. We happened to go down to the fert-yboat in the same'bus on top of which were Garfield's and Steedm'an'8 Negro servants. It ap­ pears that, owing to tho fact that the Emancipation Proclamation was not general, and did not at that time apply to Kentucky, that. State's Leg­ islature had taken advantage of it And passed law* authorising the kidnaping and confiscating of every stray Negro the gangs of civil officers and citizens could lay hands upon. Officers with posses were stationed' At the levees. Instructed and authorized to seizev all Negroes attempting to cross the river on the boats, no matter where they were from. When we went on to the boat we were all in ignorance of this State law, and of the fact that a strong force of men were on the boat for the purpose of seizing any unlucky darky who might be going North with Union officers. My attention was ilrftt oalled to the fact by hearing Gen. Garfield ask a pompous looking man: "What do you want with that boy?" 1 looked out of the 'bus window and noticed that the man, in oompany with others* was ordering the two boys to get down from the 'bus and go ashore with them. The man, who claimed to be the shei-ifl, said the boys could not go Across the river; that he should take possession of them, etc., and proceeded to force them off the boat. At this. Garfield and Steedman jumped out of the bus. Garfield was mad; he told those insolent men that he had' been ttghting Rebels lu the field for two •jTlliiiliktiM*® wouKl now do some IpflRSfPL water, and that it Uie> did not leave the boat at onee they would get hurt, lie stood between tho Negroes and the officers, and shook his fist in their faces, und dared tliem to toush the black boys, who had so faithfully stood by him in the camp and on the battle grounds of Stone lliver and Chickatnauga. Gen. Steed­ man was mad; he pulled off his coat Aiul marched into the crowd, saying he could fight such a white-livered set of rascals with good relish. Chlckamauga had had no terrors for him, neither had kidnapers. It was an cxciting time then. While Garfield and Steedman were getting the Negroes away from the Sheriff and his deputies.-us fellows In the 'bus were getting our revolvers out of our valises, and we soou were put and forming a line of battle, one deep and far apart, in rear of Garfield tind Steedman. The Sheriff finally ex­ hibited a disposition to take the Ne­ groes at any risk. Garfield, followed by us blue coats, moved on the enemy In force. They retreated "right smart" to the shore. The Sheriff, from his safe place on the shore, ordered the Captain of the boat not to move the boat with the Negroes on board. The Captain then came to Garfield and told him that he, the Captain, could not take the boys across the riyer with­ out incurring a heavy fire, and there­ fore would not move the boat. Gen, Garfield said he would relieve him of responsibility, so he announced he would pilot the boat across, if some oue would volnnteer to run the engine. Upon several of the soldiers agreeing to do it. the Captain caved nud or­ dered the boat untied, saying lie would take the dainned crowd across and stop the 'tarnel fuss. The bout started aud the row euded. Garfield and Steedman werf resolute nnd brave. Their bold and determined manner, no doubt, saved bloodshed, as the kidnaping crowd were too much cowed to persist In their attempt to take the Negroes. Had even one shot been fired there would have been a red hot time ou that boat; the blue-coats present aud looking ou were warded up to a good fighting condition. Yours respectfully, Gkoi«;k Q.

There are two reprehensible methods of dealing with the reputation of min­ isters. 1. There Is, with mnny. ft disposition to crlteise severely, to condemn rashly and harshly, and to speak censoriously if not slanderously, when the facts do not warrant it. This may be done through malice or envy, but we tnelino to think that, generally, it springs from a wicked habit of fault-Audiug or of idle gossip. It is to lie severely repro­ bated, and in many instances, where the results are disastrous it deserves much more severe treatment than it receives from the church authorities. A preacher's reputation Is not only his principal capital, but it Is the capital of the church iw well. To impair or destroy It needlessly. Is not only to in­ flict serious injury on him, but on the cause he represents. To expose his foibles, to set afloat suspicions as to his integrity or puriety, to assault, either by insinuation or direct assertion, his moral or religions character, without just grounds, or without first taking all necessary steps to know the truth and to*deal frankly with him concerning it is an inquity. A man who consents to serve a cum muni ty and to stand forth before the world as their representa­ tive, has a right to demand that they shall zealously and Jealously guard his reputation. If he Is faithful in rebuk­ ing sin and and exposing wrong, he will necessarily provoke the opposition of the wicked, who are apt to take vengeanoe In reckless assaults on his character, well knowing tlut, however false their assertions may lte.lt will do him an Injury by bringing his reputa­ tion into question. It Is a duty, therefore, which Christians owo to those who stand In the front of the battle for them to protect their good name: and.lt Is very unrighteous thing when in place of protecting them, they give aid and comfort to the enemy-- by countenancing or entertaining their slandera. ^ 2. But Utere fai another extreme. Men who consent to stand before the public as teachers of morals aud relig­ ion, or as the representatives of a re­ ligious movement, should be men whose reputation (Is proof against the assaults of the wicked--men of such tried and known integrity as to com­ mand the confidence aud respect of good people. The New Testament re­ quires that the teachers and rulers of the church shall good report ̂ not this, no difference though lie predujlee against him be unjust- he las no right to occupy such a posi­ tion; and if he be a true Christian man. be will not allow himself to hold such a position--for he will suffer himself rather than Inflict suffering on the cau-e he loves. Thoro is common sense in the demand that a minister of tho gos- pel shall be of good reputation. He Is false to the principles and duties he teaches, if bis own life do not Illustrate tliem. And unless he hn« earned a good reputation for honesty. Integrity, purity and piety, ho can not bo listened to with respect. The Inconsistency between his teaching and Ills practice jars ou the ears of his auditors. Men will not listen reverentially or «ym- pathizingly to one whom they regard as a hypocrite--nor should they, ft may be that they misjudge him. N<» difference: while such is theirjiidgmeut they can not resjtect him in the office of a preacher or teacher, lie owes It to them to remove that unfavorable judgment; and if ho can uot do it, even though he knows it to be false judg­ ment, he should, for the truth's sake, suffer wrong rather than bring the truth and the ahurch into dishonor through an unacceptable ministry. It ought not, then, to require argu­ ment to prove that a inan who conies among us bankrupt In reputation shoulJ have no place In our public min­ istry. Though lie could speak with tho tongues of men and of angels, and had all wisdom and all knowledge, he should not be allowed to occupy a representa­ tive position In the church: simply be­ cause. morally, he Is a bankrupt, aud moral and spiritual considerations take precedence of all others iu deciding the fitness of a man to represent an advo­ cacy of truth, righteousness and holi­ ness. We go further, and say that. If he is really a good man. Iiu will uot allow himself to occupy a place iu which h« knows he must prove more of an injury than a benefit to the cause of Christ. Wheu we see nieu who are under the ban of public sentiment--whether justly so or not--attempting to force themselves upon the public, and defiant of the wlslies and convictions of multi­ tudes of good people. Insisting upon a place among a oody of ministers who repudiate them, or attempting to im­ pose themselves ou ehurclieti which with a proper knowledge >f the facts, would have nothing to do with thom we need no other evidence that they are false-hearted, if men of bankrupt moral reputation come to us as peni­ tents, confessing their slus, and avow lng a desire to turn away froiu all wickedness. It Is right to receive them and to do every thing possible to aid tliem In recovering themselves out of the s .are of the devil, ifcit--to lift such meu, with their pnst record iuto the pulpit, and acknowledge the in as preacher* of the fcospel anil |e«Ri*» «t NO. A Christianity, because they tut*e fflltr tongues and oily «:iiirtis|wieiisil>, of even because they have !ft^'4#i||ijFi,,*I powers, is a montrous nntrsjs iislilwl the church of Owl. And even if melt have had a good character* as Christ­ ians and treaehrti».,nnil have forfeited tfeelr claim to public ennfhtene** either by actual sin, or by a combination **t unfavorable Influences which, though consciously innocent, they ruanst with',all their previous reputation over­ come ; they are bound in !«* retire as no longer capable of "vm^hilj* representing the church or the gospel. It is, we confess, alla matter <§f surprise and of humiliation, that churches are sometimes found wtllf*? to uphold as their preachers, mew vlwr: ' are notoriously of bail reputation. are aware that Christians are apt look with affectiou upon the mew who have enlightened them and led tiw«i to Christ; and this is right. We «*• aware, too. that simple-hearted |»w»pl8 are easily imposed upon, bf virtue «*tf their own guiielessness, by snioetfeh tongued, sanctimonious hypocrites, ea* pecially if they are gifted orators.-- We would not teach itigratl&uda to* wards those who have blessed t»«. nor encour-ige a suspicious spirit. But when It is made jwrfectly dear that the uieu they trust are uuwortliy, Or-- to put the best possible face ott it-- that they have lost public confidence to sucli an extent that it can not be re­ stored, it is sheer madness to iusist on forcing them ou the public, thereby loading tho churches gciierally with dishonor merely to gratify their per­ sonal attachments. Yet we have had churches write to us respecting men who were known to have been guilty of gross sins aud crimes, to learti if tt could not be arranged In some way, *» as to allow these men to continue tv preach--for no other reason than tbaft ' they were attractive speakers and ca« pable of doing great good! We are en­ tirely unable to imagine the state of miud or of heart that could lead good. Christian people to propose such a compromise with baseness and vHeues* We can only say, with I*auU "O. fool- ish Galatiaus, who hath bow itched yon?" There must be a ffrmor and purer toue ot sentiment than this, or Christian communities will soon Im- oome a prey to wolves iu «lteep*« cloth- It Is not a gracious task to the unworthy, or to guard tho llsak against tho "ravening wolves'* that every now o*»d be all possible care to guard injuring the innocent, or doing to any, It is yet an imperati«N^|Ni^r t* save the churches from the of complicity wi th hypooJitet. elation with those wImm P fileuiunt, aud whoai Wkiaotaft Let us guard against these and while, on one hand, we hold a|^ orei! the reputation of good and thy men, let us Insist, on the that we must not aiii| wi|| j|ot Iwj resented by those who aio evidently uuworthv. THB HONIt MAKItKr POK CHHMMK. England Imported last year four of American cheese for every In uol of the population. Sstlinatln, the usual basis of five persons in a iiy, this would give an average sumption of twenty pouuds of chcese to every family.
