MR.. sTANToN's PovERTY-A CARD FROM MR.
PARTON.

To me Editor Of The Tribune.
SIR: o. No; / never said that man was
fool who did not sacrifice everything to the acquisition
Of wealth, except health and happiness Far from It,
The following Is the passage which, suppose you had
in your mind when you wrote your editorial article Of
Saturday on Mr.. Santons glorious poverty;
cit IA idle TO urge men 10 be moderate in their pursuit
OF fortune so long as the possession Of property the
Oniy means Of securing independence ahd ugnly. IN
thc United States a man Is fool who does not sacrifice
TO the acquisition OF wealth everything except heath
and honor; since wealth alone gives platform upon
which happiness can be established. Faraday might
well decline 10 make fortune OF hundred ana hlty
thousand pounds by doing chemistry for men OF busi
ness had secure eighty pounds year. three rooms

for him. but shameful 10 us. Very respectfully,

Gov. McClurg, in his message to the Missouri

says the Albany Argus, accusing the latter
of rudeness toward General Grant, and
making that prete1t for treating him un-
clgiily, was given to the public some time
since. We have now the other side of the
story. The rudeness of General Hancock
was said to have been his refusal to shake
hands with Grant on meeting him in Wash
ingson after the formers return from New
Orleans. General Hancock has not taken
upon himself his own defence, but forwarded
the charge against him to Ex-Governor
F Ianders, Mayor of New orleans, who WAS
talking with Grant when Hancock was al
legged to have committed his terrible efence
OF being rude to General Grant Flanders
was so unfortunate as not to mark the COM
IN ssion of the offence. He thought the
greeting between the two was equally cor
dial. There was no attempt at shaking
hands on either side, as the parties were not
near each other, aud Grant was engaged
with Flanders, who admits that he is not
either the personal or political friend of
General Hancock, having been removed
from the Office of Governor by order of that
officer. Il is quite plain that the rudeness of
which Gen. Hancock has been guilty, and
which General Sherman said "absolved the

preferences" was in suffering his name to

Radical Corruption, Intolerance and Hanatic-

There is head of sound sense and logic
in the remarks of Major j. W. Gordon, re-
publican, who spoke last week at Indisnapo-

"God knows hate to give up the dear
