A CORES pendent of the New Or
leans Democrat, nrsirg the claims of
Gen. Hancock for the Presidential
nomination at St. Louis, says:
In 1867 lie came with dictatofial
and deSpotic powers to command the
Department of Louisiana and Texas.
1t was ut the very heiy ht of the sa.
turnalia Of Radical lawlcssness.
States had been tramplcd by the Rad
ical majority in Congress. The Pre-
sident stood at bay, powcrless for
good. Tl,ad. Stevens had boldly as
serted that the Constitution had no
power to limit the action Of that me-
jo,ity. The Southern whites were
disfranclised by thousands. and the
negroes broughtin herds to the ballot
boz. Military leaders like Sheridan
set aside the DEGREES of courts, car
ried elections by military orders, and
the very germ of personal rights and
civil liberty seemed dead. In this
fearful moment Hancock asserted the
supremacy of the civil over the mill
tary power, lifted the crushed and
PROSTATE form of the Constitution
from beneath the feet of the spoilcr,
aud in words that breatled and barn
cd, and that will live till the last sy|-
liable of recorded time, announced
that liberty was still the heritage of
the people.
His proclamation here. his letter to
Governor Peasc, of Texas, his recent
written opinion ad,jouring the Bah
cock court Of inquiry, all show that
his great mind is deeply imbne,l with
the principles of civil liberty, and
that witt, him veneration and res
pect for the Constitution and the law.
aud the rights of the citizen are the
cardinal points of his political faith.
For these civic virtues, RaJicalism
drove HIM from his command, and
superseded him with the law'ess
Sheridan; for these, Grant removed
him from his command in the East
and sent him to the hard campaign
life among the savages Of the West
err frontier.

and as little by play, thought they
would attend to the low, mean and
Insignificant objects they had passed
contemptuously on their way for the
destruction of the now dead and bu-
ried monster.
As they rctraccd their steps, mich
to their establishment, they bchc|d
the country smiling with joy, peace
and happiness reisning throughout
the land, clccrfuncss was depicted
on every face, and when they asked
for the miserable horde they had left
behind them, no one could or would
tell of their whereabouts, they only
pointed upwards and said, ''you had
better ask the Great Ncrcaftcr.'
Oar delegation to the Convention
to assemble here on the Sth May.
next. should l'r composed Of our best
men: men of known character and
enlarged views, who are capable Of
sacrificing personal feelings, prcin-
tliccs or r,cI;lcctioils, and WHO will
60 into the Convention for the good
of the people, thoHg', his best and
dearest friend should be overlooked.
From the very inception Of this
canvass We mnst have none but good
and reliable men to represent IL: in
III! our Conventions, and then We
may be sure of having unohjectiona-
hle men in office. This is not the
time to think Of friends to reward,
this not the time to allow personal
piQucs to dictate foo'is!, acts this is
not the time to think of "irst wife's
relations - this is not the time to
think of self, but it is the time to
como fairly and squarely up to the
mark, and with patriotic devotion,
forget every thing that could posi-
bly, bias the better Judgment. If this
principal is permitted to control the
acts of the Mass Meeting to take place
here to-day, we need have no fca,s of
the result.
If members Of the meeting have
anything to say, we do not see, why
in Gods name they cannot say it. If
men or measures arc proposed in any
way Objectionable, and members atc
clearly convinced of the fact, there
is certainly nothing wrong in them
lifting up their voice to cry them
down. Let p0nc but good men and

A Snake Story.

George NJ. Ball, young man of eigh-
teen years, employed on the farm Of Mr..
Perry, in West6eld, has been accustomed
to drink, while milking night and morn
ing, a quantity of warm milk. A few
mornings since failing to take his accus-
toned draught, something came up in his
throat, choking him, and he fell over
senseless. A son of Mr.. Perry was sur.
Iprised to see a snakes head protruding
from Balls mouth, but on attempting to
seize il the serpent retreated down his
Throat. A powerful emetic was admins
tered, and in short time the young man
vomited up q rhooded adder two feet
eight inches long and about US thick as
two fingers Of a mans hand II lived
only FIVE minutes. Ball has probably
carricd the serpent for at least twelve years,
as he was accustomed to drink from a
small brook when boy. Since parting
from his tenant his health has greatly i'm.
proved, and his appetite is little more
reasonable. Springfield Mass. RepnBliean.

with another who had been regularly in-
careerated for intoxication, and who were
believed to be 50 fond Of liquor as to be
almost beyond hope Of reformation, were
subjected to the experiment Of what is
known in the German army as tho

ician, selected the two men as tit subjects,
but this could only be done with their full
consent, and on subjects who had been
confined for terms long enough to make a
test. They were given cell 70 them
selves, and for three weeks all the food
they ate was cooked in whisky and all the
fluids they drank were mixed with the
same liquor, the whisky being used with
out stint This kind Of diet was relished
for several days, but soon became repul-
sive, nausea ensued, and the unassimilated
food was elected. Two or three days
before they left the prison food not cooked
with whisky was served and eaten with
relish, but full bottle Of whisky that was
placed beside the plate Of each of the men
at every meal remained untouched, they
having lost their desire for the liquor.
