The Gazette, Hancock and Grant.


The Gazette appears as the champion of
General Hancock, demanding for him, fair treat
ment from all persons, and especially from Presi-
dent Grant, and the COMMERCIAL. This demand
is uncaed for, and impertinent General Ham
cock has received such treatment at the hands of
the President as his own conduct, personal and
political, made fit and reasonable while in the
columns of this paper we have spoken of him as
brave Union soldier, and pointed out his errors
in language as courteous as it was truthful.
But what shall be said Of the Gazette That
journal, in the very act of demanding courtesy
for Hancock, is guilty of a gross Allusion to the
President, to whom it applies the language of a
Kentucky paper, to the effect that General Han
cock has been compelled ito submit to the
studied a6ronts of ale creature toho By accident
" disgraces The american People"
These expressions are false in substance, dis
graceful in temper, and in the mouth Of one who
has just been claiming fair treatment for his
favorite they challenge and merit contempt
President Grant has studied" no " affronts,'
upon General Hancock his character is too
great to be maligned as a creatures" and his
elevation to his present high position was no
accident" but the deliberate desire of his CRATE
full fellow-citzens.

Butchery Of BuiinIoes.

General W, b. Hazen writes from Fort Hays,
Kansas, to Mr.. Henry Bergh as follows:
Hoping to interest you, and through you
the people of the country and Congress, would
respectfully state that the extraordinary intro
duction Of railroads into and across the wilds of
our country has made the vast herds of wild
buffalo Of the plains accessible to all classes of
people, and each year vast plumbers are slaught-
cred for so-called sport, and greater number
by hunters for their hides, which net about one
dollar each have seen numbers of men this
winter who have during the past season killed
one thousand each for the paltTy sum Of one
dollar apiece the carcasses being left to rot on
the plains. The buffalo is a noble and harm ess
animal timid, and as easily taken as a COW, and
very valuable as food for man. 1t lives upon
a short grass which grows luxuriously upon the
high arid plains Of this middle region, and that
is from dryness unfit for agriculture. The theo-
ry that the buffalo should be killed to deprive
the Indians of food is fallacy, as these people
are becoming harmless under rule of justice.
In view of these facts would most respectfully
and earnestly request that you use such proper
influences as may be at your disposal to bring
this subject before Congress-, with the intention
OF having such steps taken as will prevent this
wicked and wanton waste both of the lives of
Gods creatures and the valuable food they fur

The Philadelphia Bulletin says; II will pain
and alarm the friends of the administration to
learn that Hon. James Scovel has declared him
self opposed to the denomination of President
Grant. He went all the way from Camden, N.
j., to Jefferson City, Mo-, to make a speech OH
this subject before a meeting OF people whom
he called "liberal Republicans and liberal Dem
ocrats of Missouri" lie boldly adopted Frank
Blairs declaration that 'iGrant if elected would
never leave the White House, and he added /:
''Elect him again, and you will never gst him
out" He also ''pitched into" Secretary Robe
son, saying, "both he and his master Grant, are
false to the essential principles of Republican
ence contemplate, They must go down. This
business of making power, tyranny and obedi-
ence alike contemplate is little hard to under
stand, but 6covel was always a little more or
less crazy, and he has, Of late years, been 30
often repudiated and rebuked by the Republi-
cans Of New Jersey, that it is no wonder if he
has lost the little remnant of his wits.

Political Intelligence.


The Caucasian, = red-hot Democratic paper

Of nominating the devil to beat Grant, the New

ought to have dictated that nomination to the
Democrats long ago.

The Washington correspondent of the N. Y
Herald telegraphs that there is no reason ID
doubt any longer that Senator Schurz will refuse
to abide the denomination OF the President BY
the Republicans, if such should be the result Of
the Philadelphia Convention.
It is stated that the report Of the so called
Liberal Republican Convention, at Jefferson
CITY, (Mo.) on the 24th, was gross exaggeratior
of the Importance of the whole affair. The

Sheridan wrote his celebrated comedy amid
the follies and faults OF London fashionable life,
in the reign of George Ill. As il is picture Of
the weak side Of that period of society its fea-
tures are in many respects inapplicable, and
from strict standpoint, unfit for reproduction,
now. But pTesuming these to be displayed before
audiences able to exercise discrimination, the
play is full of amusement. The style of dress
and manners, 80 oourtly, so picturesque and
graceful captivates the senses, and the sit
uatiOhS OF the plot are as amusing, as the lam
guage OF the actors is witty and sparkling.
Such being the play, it would be enough TO say

IN speaking far more warmly, after she has play

As Lady Gay SpdnkeT, tonight, and Juliet, to-

grace, ,'snsibility, and power. We do not need
to tell her this = we say it to those Of our own
people who Nupreeiate and patronize the Drama,
and who may rot have been present, last even
ing.
Lack of space forbils us TO speak of eachper-
former. MI Robinson played Charles Surface,
with pleasing and graceful dignity, brilliancy
and self-possession, that makes us look for him
again with great pleasure. Sir Peter is really
the centre figure of the play, and Mr.. Bradley
sustained it moet effectively. The fine figure
and face of Miss Proudfoot, as LAZY Sneer7oeu
attached increased interest to her performance

PROSPECTS OF oRoP-yrEws OF Mr.. SAMUEL
TOWNSEND.
Samuel Townsend writes to the Middletown
Transcript that " every bud that has a black
speck in the centre Of 1t now will never swell or
blossom, and let persons who wish to satisfy
themselves tie string around twig and count
the buds IL they are now frozen they will
drop OF before or by the time the sap starts.
Should there be some living buds on said twig
they will SWELL"
In regard to the damage done, he says
Buds have been less killed on the tops Of the
tfees than on the under limbs that was, 1
think, caused by more dampness near the ground
than ON the tops of the trees Down country.
where they are hurt worse than here, there must
have been snow, sleet or rain on the limbs the
night the thermometer went below zero. II the
limbs had been dry they would have suffered
less than New Castle County. In Worcester and
Somerset counties they escaped the extreme cold,
and the buds 80 far are good but great damage
has been done in the heavy growing districts, so
that not over one-half or two-thirds OF a crop
need be counted on, but probably as much
money and less work as full crop"

Apples.

At arecent discussion of the fruit growing by
the Keene, N. H. Club, Mr.. E. W. Gum, of Gill
sum, who raised $50 bushels Of apples last year,
said that careful cultivation OF the trees greatly
increases the quantity and quality of the fruit.
Apples grown on the hills commonly keep better
than those grown in the valleys. on account OF
their not being 80 fully matured at the time OF
picking. Hetrims his trees commonly in Novem-
ber, but any time will do after hot weather until
midwinter. The wounds will harden down and
dry 80 as to heal over and not rot. Never cut
off limbs in the Spring when the sap flows. Mrl
Woodward said perfectly matured apple will
not keep. No winter apple should be permitted
to lie on the ground for any length Of time. We
cannot handle too carefully.
