THE NEW YORK TRADE TYRANT.-A.
II. Stewart, Esq, the great dry goods
king of New York, has just succeeded
in crushing his Union Square rivals,
Messrs. Sherwin * Co., who failed about
ten days ago for very large amount.
1t is we'll known of Stewart that he will
never brook opposition or competition.
Once having determined to remove an
obstacle its doom may be regarded as
settled. Some years ago he wanted q
store adjoining his own that was at the
time occupied by carpet dealer doing
n prosDerouS and fOurisliiDg business.
The party in possession laughed at Stew
arts request for him to abandon it.
Stewart Immediately imported carpets
and sold them at prime cost, thus soon
DESTROYING his neighbours business and
forcing him into bankruptcy. More re-
Gently q milliuer in Broadway occupied
a store on block Stewart desired to
purchase and refused to move and give
M her business to suit his convenience
| He Immediately opened the same de-
scriptiOn of store in an adjoining build
| ing and soon succeeded Isl driving heI
! cat of the business and into poverty
/ As soon as Messrs. Sherwin & Co. open
ed their dry goods palace at Union
/ Square, in opposition to Stewart the
/ latter resorted to his old tactics, will
what success the recent heavy failure q
the would be rivals illustrates. All thi.
seems to be considered greatly to Stew
arts credit by the mercantile communi
tv of New York, but we cannot hell
4 viewing it as the worst species of oppres
sion; both unfeeling and contemplate il
a man as wealthy and powerful as he is
1t is no compliment to either his head o.
his heart, that by throwing in the scale
the weight of his enormous capital, h,
occasionally succeeds in running few
merchants and reducing their familie
to poverty. 'a.-tH9

& GEN. HANCOCK DEFINES HIS Own
PowERs.-On the LIST instant General
Hancock issued the following order:
Applications have been made at these
headquarters implying the existence OF
an arbitrary authority in the command
ing general touching purely civil con-
troversies. IS! t5atesl lfrs.I ..,,s, s..stF
#li One petitioner solicits this action,
another that, and each refers to some
special consideration of grace or favor
which he supposes to exist, aad which
should influence this department..
The number of such applications and
the waste of time they involve, make it
necessary to declare that the admins
tlation of civil justice pertains to the
regular courts. The rights of litigants
do not depend on the views of the gen
eral-they are to be aJudged and set
tied according to the laws. Arbitrary
power, such as he has been urged to
assume, has no existence here. tits not
found in the laws of Louisiana or OF
Texas--it cannot be defived from any
act or acts of congress--it is restrained
by constitution and prohibited from
action in many PAL ticulars.
| The major general commanding takes
occasion to repeat that while disclai,n
| ing judicial functions in civil cases, ht
can suffer no forcible resistance to the
process of the courts. 7}r.a ~ eytt

The Portland daily press., 1868-11-19

The Washington correspondent of the New
Bedford Mercury gives the following explana-
ton of Surratt's escape from the gallows:
saw John Surratt when he landed from
the "Swatara" at the Navy Yard in this city
His appearance then betokened the trembling
but defiant telon, but to-day he walks oUI
streets, a fashionably dressed and staggering
rebel, hating the government more bitterly
than he did in April, 1865, and sneering at
the futile attempts of an imbecie District
ATTORNEY to bring him to justice and the gal
lows. Many good Union people in the North
labor under the impression that the judicial
ermine OF the District OF Columbia is sole
with disloyalty, and it is owing to this fact
that so notorious criminal has escaped.
This belief though natural one, is errone
Gus. The fault lies solely with the District
Attorney, whom the people OF the country
may thank for the infliction of taxes to pay
the enormous expenses of the Surratt faScO.
| So completely has the District Attorney
been outwitted by the opposing counsel, that
| he has lost prestige, and the new Indictment
which he is now preparing will meet with the
| same fate as that OF its predecessor. The po-
sition of District Attorney is held by long,
| lank, native Virginian, who, when the rebell-
| ion broke out, was practicing law in this city.
| To recompense him for his loyalty President
| Lincoln gave him the District Attorneyship,
| for which he is entirely nnfitted by education
or practice. To give an idea of the calibre OF
| the gentleman referred to, will relate an an
| ecdote Happening in the office OF the
| Chronicle one evening few weeks since,
| met the District Attorney, who was engaged
| in conversation with one of the editors o.
that paper The following is portion of the
| dialogue that occurred.
District Attorney-"Mr-.,w was that a
good speech you published this morning IN
the Chronicle?"
Editor-"An excellent one; one oI tne
best political arguments in laVol y, Gnans ~
and Colfax published during tne 1PS ca,nPS is"'

.,oning look, to ascertain whether he was
really in earnest-'No, sir; it was speech by
]. Lothrop Motley, formerly U. S. Minister to
Austria"
District Attorney-"Was it, indeed; l
thought it was Lrndley Murray. must read
that yer speech"
Alter the District Attorney left, the editor,
turning to me, asked me what understood
he District Attorney to say relative to the
speech of Mr.. Motley. 1 replied that ] un-
derstood him to say that he supposed the
speech was made by Lindley Murray. 7. 9
editor resumed nis work with slight witch
inc about the lips, which indicated that he
was endeavoring to suppress hearty laugh
| at the expense of the District Attorney. You
| can now judge of the probability of Surrat'E
| conviction with such prosecuting attorney

1T MIGHT HAVE BEEN."-The fallacles
Oh Democratic figuring are neatly treated by
the Providence journal: "Our Democratic
friends are induging in speculations, more
curious than profitable, to make out Grant a
minority candidatg which they accomplish,
by dedueting from his majority great many
men who voted for him and adding to the
vote OF Seymour great many men who did
not vote at all Figures will not he,' and
upon looking over the addings, which are
correct to unit, we are constrained to ac-
knowledge that, allowing all the rebels in the
south TO vote once, and all the unnaturalized
foreigners in New York city to vote three
times each, and excluding all the loyal votes
in the States that revolted, Seymour would
have been elected"

The Pacific Railroad Open o the Fourth
of July.
The Springfield Republican gives some in
teresting account of the present condition and
stage of progress of the Pacific Railroad:
The rivalry as to the point of meeting of
the two arms of the Pacific railroad, projec-
ting east and west from California and the
Missouri river, is reported to have been ad-
justed, and the waste of effort and money in
extra rapid work and IN constructing tracks
side by side ceases. The point fixed upon for
ern extremity of Salt Lake. 1t is called
Peoquop Pass, $50 miles east of Sacramento,
which will thes be the length of the Calfor-
mia company's line, and nearly 1850 miles west
of Omaha, which will be the length of the Un-
ion Pacific or easterncompany's line. With the
extension to San Francisco by the shortesr route
this makes the entire rail distance from the
Missouri river to the Pacific ocean 1900 miles.
The Union Pacifi company have about 400
miles to complete, and the California compa-
ny about 200, but the work of grading on both
sections is mainly finished, and sixty days
more such of labor as they were expending two
weeks ago would have everything done, rails
down, and cars running. But the great in
centive to rapidity is removed by the COM
promise, and unless the winter should be a
remarkably favorable one, we presume the
final touches will not be given before May,
perhaps not till June. But everything will
certainly be in readiness for the grand open
ing celebration of the 4th of July, 1869. And
such a celebration as this should be BETTING
the occasion!
