The friends of Gen. Hancock arc doing tie
best they can to remove the stain that attaches
to his pame by reason OF bis association with
the murder of Mrs. Surratt, but their efforts
a strong one of which appears elsewhere in to-
days paper-wiil be unsuccessful, and should
be. Nobody believes that Gen. Hancock would
not have done anything that lay 10 his power to
have prevented that monsrous disgrace to the
age and country, but as he could not save
MIS- Surratt. he should not have allowed
himself to have been made, cooStructlVeIy,
one of her murderers. To say that he
was soldier under orders does not even
palate his conduct, for he could bave

instantly by transferring it to more willing
hands; and the more disagreeable the order
was to him, the greater should be his condem'
