General Hancock with the North
ern Democracy.


We copy again from the illustrious
compeer and model of our neighhor
the Times, the La Crosse Democrat,
its views upon General Hancock as a
Presidential candidate. Crescent and
Times please copy,
HANCOCK MEETINGS. = We from
time to time hear a great deal about
Hancock meetings, and it is said that
Generals Steedman, Gordon Granger,
and other military men are now per-
ambulating New Jersey, comforting
with leading Democratic politicians,
in the interest of General Hancock.
They are fOoling away their time and
money. The Democratic people turn
away from all such movements with
disgust They are not to be led by
the nose by any of the shoulder-strap
gentry. They are going to have a
civilian and positive Democrat, for
their candidat, and such q candidate
they can and will elect.
The Day Book, which is in New
York.. has the means of knowing all
about these Hancock meetings and
movements, and hits them off as fol-
lows: ............
The Monitor Tenn says:
A large meeting of Democrats in
New York city two nights since rec
commended Hancock for President
and Groesbeck for President.
Pendleton's prospects appear to be on
the wane.
There are two items of news in this
paragraph which are very neto in this
region. There has been no such
large meeting of Democrats" in this
city to recommend Hancock for Presi-
dent. And Pendleton is so far from
being on the wane, that almost the
last act of the Assembly of New York
was the passage of a resolution sub
stantially indorsing his plan. The
large meeting spoken of was in bee
room in hotel, with, at most, sever
persons present, chatting about Han
cock over a whisky bottle. But this
is the way presidential news is manu-
featured in these degenerate times.

From the New Orleans Advocated
United States Senators.

We have a few words on this i'm
portant subject for the ears of the
General Assembly.
Imprimis, the ADVOCATE is not the
partisan of any particular man. 1t
does, however, represent the senti-
ments of a large portion Of the Repub-
lican party of Louisiana. 1t will
report to these readers faithfully the
actions of their representatives here,
and warn them in time if ignorance,
stupidity, ambition, or bribery should
appear to be endangering the best in
terests, or defeating the real wishes of
the people. ..........
We now say to Republicans, there is
danger, if rumor may be believed, that
improper undue influences and may
be attempted to be used upon your
representatives here to bias their
choice of United States Senators.
Money is spoken of in such connec-
ton as to seriously affect the char
aeter of the party. We do not believe
for a moment that any man can buy
his way into the United States Senate.
We have too high regard for the
gentlemen who represent the Repub-
lican party in the General Assembly.
But the alarming fact is that such a
thing should be said or even thought
without exciting such intense indigna-
ton and odium against the parties
charged with such efforts as to
destroy forever all their hopes OF
success until the damaging accusa-
tions should be completely investi-
gated and disproved.
We desire, as do all true Repub-
licans, the selection of two gentlemen
for these distinguished positions whose
integrity is unquestioned, whose abil,
ity is commensurate with the high re-
sponsibi!ities of the office; and whose
standing as Republicans has beer
tried by time and illustrated by dis
tinguished services. Such men woulC
add dignity to their position, carry
weight with their counsels, and be al
honor to the State and Congress.
Louisiana needs now all the force an,
ability which she can command in tn
national councils; all the forecast
wisdom, business skill, and statesman
ship combined which she can procur
to obtain the assistance which he
languishing interests and struggling
people need. We want no man 70
Senator who goes there to " max
money" We want men whose char
acter, position, and past record wi
elevate them far above such gross an
groveling motives. There are sue
men. Let the people watch their rep
resentatives closely, and hold them to
strict accountability.

Andrew Johnson.

We have handled johnson candidly,
we endeavor to handle everything
have to do with.
We have looked upon him as a dem
lOgue, and every observing person
10 will take the trouble to review his
reer will acknowledge him such.
A person who has been so change
Be and Facilitating in his course as
Is Andrew johnson during the past
N years, does not deserve nor
lould he receive the confidence and
ammendation Of the Democracy.
Since the time he accepted the APP
Eminent from Lincoln of military

New ORLEANS, June 13, 1868.
Mr., EDITOR

Mr.. EDITOR:
"What will you take to drink" unit
ed to significant toss of the head and
an unmistakable angular glance from
the eye toward well-illed decanters is
question and an action of almost
universal occurrence in every house
in cur beloved republic.
And then comes the step up to the
side-board or table, the passing of the
sugar-dish and water pitcher, the
crash and the whirl of spoon in the
tumbler, the decanting of the stimu~
liant, the pause of Anticipation as the
glass is held momentarily in the hand,
succeeded by the raising of. the same
to the lips, with the usual accompani-
ments of crooked elbow, thrown back
head, open mouth, and ''here's luck"-
all ending by the final smack of salts
faction as the empty goblet is set
down to make its moist round mark on
the waiter.
The imbibing of alcoholic liquids is
too general among us. They are con-
sidered necessity Of life, a certain
panacea for all ills, a browning sheaf
to all blessings; good in sickness and
in health; good in summer to
dispel the heat and in winter
to dispel the cold; good to
help on work, and more than good
to help on frolic. So good are they
considered that theifattributed merits
are fixed by pleasant names. The first
dram of the morning is an ''eye OPEN
err" duly followed by the "eleyen
o'clooker" and the four o'clocker,' y
while the very last Is a " night caps"
after which as ons lays himself in
sheets he is supposed to drink no more
that day, unless, indeed, he is unex-
peotedly called up at night, when of
course he prudently fortifes himself
against taking cold. Do not imagine
that these are all the drinks of the
day, by no means. The decanter and
bottle stand ready at all times on the
sideboard, or secreted in some nook;
if friend calls he is welcomed by
the " social glass;" if one departs, a
pleasant journey Is rendered in a
" flowing bumper" if bargain is
made, it is rounded by a liquid
clincher;" if wedding comes Off
"a long and prosperous life" is drank
to the happy pair; if a funeral ensues,
then alcoholic mixtures are source Of
Consolation in affection" Drinking
all the way from the cradle to the
grave seems to be the grand rule.

dies the newborn infant, takes her

lightning Strokes.

Some time ago gentleman of our
acquaintance happened to stand in the
presence of numerous audience with
a battery of fifteen largo Leyden jars
charged beside him. Through some
awkwardness on his part he touched a
wire which he had no right to touch,
and the discharge of the battery went
through his body. Here life was
absolutely blotted out for a very SEN
sible interval without a trace of pain.
In second or two consciousness re-
turned; the recipient saw himself in
the presence of his audience and APP
paratus, and by the help of these ex-
ternal facts Immediately concluded
that he had received the bat
terry discharge. His intellectual
consciousness Of his position was
restored with exceeding rapidity,
but not so his optical consciousness.
The appearance which his body pre-
sented to him was that Of a number of
separate pieces. The arms, for ex-
ample, ware detached from the trunk,
and seemed suspended in the air. In
fact, memory and the power of reason
ing appeared to be complete long be-
fore the optic nerve was restored to
healthy action. But what We wish
chiefly to dwell upon here is the abso-
Lutte painlessness Of the sheck; and
ahere can not be doubt that to a per-,
son struck dead by lightning the pass-
age from life to death occurs without
consciousness being in the least de-
gree implicated. It il an abrupt
stoppage Of sensation, nuaecompanied
by pang.-Harper's.

Not Reconstructed Yet.

The Times INDUCES as follows in the
istrain. We commend it to the pc
sal Of those in the North who i'm
ing that the rebels here have ac-
opted the situation:
The New York World greatly mis-
Ikes the temper Of the South if it
hagines that any consideration for
rtisan policy whatever will influence
to look leniently upon negro equal
y. The idea of such a sacrifice of
Eanhood and social liberty will not be
berated for a moment. We may
roam and struggle in our chains, but
Is out of human power to make US
Inbrace them.

letter from washington.

WASHINGTON, D. c., June IL, 1868.
We are here, as you are in New
Orleans, in a city muss over the
mayors election = two Boards of
Council claim authority to govern the
city. How changed A few years
since Mayor Magruder requested
;" James the Last to order up marines
to obey his commands. They did so,
and fred on and killed some persons
about the election polls, not the Know
Nothings who were aimed at but the
mayors friends. How strange that
this same DR.. Magruder, popular
man and physician in his ward, should
be defeated in the election last week
by John F. Cook, colored man. The
glory or shame of this state Of things
belongs fundamentally to the people
who worked up the rebellion to enlarge
the borders of slavery.
Congress is working day and night
on the tax bill. An immense job that,
requiring more study, experience, and
wisdom than that branch of legislation
usually receives.
The Chinese embassy continues to
attract interest, and deserved,y s., 1t
is impossible to comprehend the ex-
tent and grandeur of the results of this
strange national movement. Chris
tianity shall gather as rich fruits as
commerce from the confluence of these
two immense streams of ancient and
modern civilization. What glory gilds
the future of our Christian nation.
Some modification in the political
tone of the National Republican OF
this city has taken place recently. II
is in more aggressive sympathy with
Congress. The Chronicle still labors
hard as heretofore in that work.
The strawberry season is at its
height. The berries are sold as low
as five cents quart. Strawberry
festivals abundant.
The business aspect of the city il
not hattering. The weather is cool
In the Methodist churches there il
an effort making to compact the de
nomination here for mutual prosperity

general lovefeast quarterly; also t,
deliver public addresses in connection
with detailed accounts Of the success
of any movement premotiye of tn
object. It is also proposed to hold
camp meeting midway between Wash
ington and Baltimore on the railroad
A camp ground thus convenient t
both cities has long been needed, an
will no doubt command the interest Q
the Church in this section. The lat
arrangement, merging the East Balti
more into the Old Baltimore Confer
, ence will add much strength to tn
latter in ministers and territory.
The appointment of Rev. John Ian

loss to the conference.

We hope delegates from every county in the Territory will at tend and take part in the proceedings. We have no interest in the matter further than that we wish to see a good, honest intelli- gent Democrat nomnatcd--one who, If elect ed. will labor for the interest and welfare of the Territory. The Convention has been called to meet on the eleventh instant, and upon its choice depends the future welfare of Arizona Nominate no man who is not thor ougbly Arizouian.

This vile creature took occasion to pitch into the MlNER for it's course in exposing Villany and corruption. The lying wretch said he voted for the removal of the capital from Prescott to Tucson, because he considered it a more eligible place, (for himself, no doubD and because it was he uish of c majority of he p,oplG Did ever God create such another unconscionable liar' He also gave another reason, which we believe to be the main one. That the Yavapai delegation were unwilling to give anythingm This, as our friend De Long would say, was "thc true cause' for AleXandcr's recreancy. Such are the fools the Governor works with-men who have done the Territory more harm than good-- who despise obor, and feed on the crumbs
 that fall from the tables of official dignitaries who draw their rations out of the peoples commissary God save the Territory from ! being again turned over to the tender mercies
 of these lazy cormorants that fasteD them

GULLING THEN-Goyernor Mccormick, we are informed, told the people of Tucson that the railroad is certain to be built over the 32d parallel route and that, of course, it will pass right through the town of Tucson. Well, this may be believed by some of them, as they facts don't bear him out in this assertion. Probably he knows more about it than the Company that intend to build it. He also says that it was he who had General McDow- ell removed Wonder if he wont't try to make the Pimas and Maricopas believe that he IS Montezumal It is fair to presume that he will
