Hancock and Mrs. Serratt.

Hancock stock appears to be rising very
rapidly in the market OF Presidential nomi-
nations; but there is one obstacle in his
way which, from the Democratic stand
On the morning of July 7, 1865, the petition
of Mary 4. Surratt was presented to Hon.
Andrew Wylie, one of the Justices of the
Supreme Court of the District of Columbia,
representing that che had been arrested by
the military authority Of the United States,
and unlawfully tried and sentenced to death
by military commissions; that she was at
the time of the commission of the offense
for which she had been tried private citi-
nected with tho military authority of the
same, and that the offense was
committed in the District OF Colum-
bla, within the lines of the armies
of the United States, not enemy's territory,
and not under the control of q military
commander for the trial of civil causes;
that the alleged crime was an ofense sim
ply against the peace of the United States,
properly and solely cognizable under the
of the district; that she had an unques-
toned right to trial in the courts by jury,
and that, therefore, her detention and sen
tence were without warrant, against posi-
tive law and wholly upjustifiable, and
hence she prayed writ of habeas corpus,
commanding Major General Hancock, in
whose special custody she was, to produce
her before the court to abide its decision.
This writ was served upon General Han
cock, who made return to the court, re-
fusing to obey it, and citing the authority
of President Andrew johnson for 80 doing.
Mrs. Surratt was retained in custody and
hanged the same day.
The course Of Andrew johnson had re-
ceived the severest criticism in this matter,
Democratic authorities especially alleging
that the trial was wholly illegal, and that
the execution was shock to public senti-
ment, an outrage upon decency and in
direct defiance Of all law. But We are un-
able to discover that General Hancock was
at all at difference with Mr.. johnson.
Strong protests, as for instance that of Ben
Wade, are on record against the course
taken; General Hancock's is not. We are
not aware that he evinced any disinclina-
tion to disobey the writ of habeas corpus;
he certainly carried out the order given
him, when, had he held the Democratic
view, he might easily have avoided it by
resignation. these are given as Demo
cratic criticisms-not as ours; and unless
We are greatly mistaken they will prove q
very serious obstacle to General Hancock's
nomination Cincinnati Times.

The Wire Workers at Cincinnati.

The Chicago Tribune reminds it's readers
of the important part the telegraph played
in supplying the country with full details
Of the nominating business at Ciacin-
natl as the convention progressed. On
Thursday night, the fifteenth instant, the
Western Union Telegraph Company cent
out from Cincinnati special dispatches to
l80 Gaily papers, in all the great cities of
the United States, aggregating 100000
words. The Associated Press dispatches of
the same night, of which the South
got an Insignificant and confused guam
tity, amounted to $4,000 words, and
as many as 10000 private dispatches were
disposed of in their regular order. The
lines of the Atlantic and Pacific Company
were also worked to their fullest capacity,
and it is estimated that over 1.000, 900 words
were wired out of Cincinnati on q siugle
evening. An eyewitness states that as
many as $50 men, with dispatches to get of,
would be waiting in line at one time at the
Western Union Office. The receiving clerks
would place dispatches at the bottom OF the
pile as fast ~ received, and the lightning
operators worked from the top, treating all
fairly, and getting them off With wonderful
rapidity. General Anson Stager, general
superintendent of the Western division of
the Western Union, with headquarters at
Chicago, gave his personal attention to the
working Of the Cincinnati Office during the
convention and the evstem order and
rapidity with which business was dis
patched is greatly due to his careful atten-

A Spirit That Failed to Appear.

There was during Irving's life

with young Englishman, an invalid
who agreed to appear after death if he
should be invoked. This story is to
IL certain.degree correct, The invalid
referred to was named Hall, and he
and Irving met in Spain, whittier the
former had gone for his health. Irving
gave the following account of the at.
fair: One day they were talking about
ghosts, and Hall suddenly asked his
friend if he would like to receive
visit from him after death? Irving
replied that, as they had always been
on good terms, he would not be afraid
to receive visit if it we're practicable.
Hall then said he was serious in the
idea, and added, 81 wish you to say

2. That we behold with regret what ap-
pears as a conspiracy upon the part of mem
bers of the administration and certain other
corrupt partisans assuming to represent the
Republican party to count in Messrs. Hayes
aud Wheeler in disregard to all law, right
and precedent, and thus for mere personal
interests to defeat the will OF the people, and
strike q dangerous blow at the free instlt,l-

3. That we utterly repudate the inconsist-
ant and dangerous assumption that the Pres
ident of the Senate has the determination of
all questions Of dispute with regard to the
electoral vote, and also that equally absurd
claim that no fraud in State or ineligibility
in all electOr can be enquired into, and we an
nounce our belief that all matters at issue
should be settled by Congress, that the House
of Representatives has equal right with the
Senate in such settlement, and We propose,
in common with patriotic citizens of all par
ties, to support it in the exercise of its con-
stitutional rights.

Bitter Cream.

a correspondent Of the Com try
Gentlemen thus explaines the cause of
bitter cream:
Cream becomes bitter hy long keep
ing at three days it will begin to tell;
after the fourth day it is unfit to be
used in coffee or made into butter,
spelling both.
In Summer there is little bitter
milk or cream, because the cream is
churned sooner than in Winter seldom
reaching the third day. Sometimes,
where there is a single cow kept, I
have known the butter to show no
account of the small quantity Of cream
accumulating. The Summer practice
is reversed in the. Winter. There be.
ing too little milk to require freqnent
churning then-say one.and sometimes
two churnings a week-we account
readily for the evils complained Of.
The forepart of the season. when milk
is in great quantity necessitating more
frequent churning, hear of but lit
te complaint. 1t matters not how good
the feed is,--if the tenderest hay and
roots are added, making an approach
to Summer feed; nor how clean the
the milk is kept, the most perfect milk
| if set beyond three days will be hurt
The writer of this has filled the vessel
leaving barely space enough for a cloth
| to be stretched over without touch
ing the milk, and snug lid put on
keeping the air out, but all to no pur
pose. So, in the purest air, in all thu
temperatures,it is the same.
It is age that spoils the cream. No
only does it make it bitter, but it de
stroys the favor, giving it rank dis
agreeable taste. The sooner the cream
is churnel or used after the milk ha
stood forty eight hours, the better
If there is too little cream to churn
add the milk and churn that with it t
| give sufficient body to work it. II tn
milk has been kept in pure air, an
cleanliness observed throughout, wit
the proper temperature: about 90 d.
