many democratic journals are advo-
eating the claims of Gen. Hancock for
the p esidency. If 1 had the ability,
I do not possess the disposition to
detract from the fame or ability
of Gen. Hancock, or his patriotism at
his close of the war between the States,
in showing a disposition to subordinate
military to civil rule. In this he done
no more than any honest man would
have done who understood the theory
of our Government. ! admit that
Grant, Sheridan, and others, did not
act upon the same principle that Han
cock did, but this only proves that
they we're tyrants instead of patriots.
What is the history of military Pres
idents. Washington, We all admit,
was without u peer as a man or civil
ruler in any age or government. II is
idle to other men by him.
Gen. jackson was patriot of the first
water and q man of native military
genius, without a military education,
except such as he gained by lighting
Indiana, and the British at New
Orleans. The old hero, with all his
unselfish patriotism, was disposed at
times, TO be tyrahn;csl and o~verbearing
in his disposition. Harrison was,
believe, q soldier of no great prestige
from the civil walks OF life. His early
death precludes criticism as to what
kind OF q President he would have
made. Gen. Taylor was a professional
soldier, aud a good m but he added
no laurels To his name Vt er he attained
the Presidency, having died in about
sixteen months after his Inauguration,
but he lived long enough to demons

Gustav came here as a witness in the
Belknap case to besmirch the Admin
istration, and he proposed to stop it.
BY advice of Sherman and Taft, Gustav
went to the White House and sat till
the Presidents time was over, though
he repeatedly sent in his card. Finally
he wrote to the President. 1t is under
stood that Grant will Publicly assign,
as a reason for relieving Custar, that he
is here and will not he back in time to
