GEN. HANcocK,s MISSION
Sent by the Fraudulent President n W..
Orleans to Intercede for anderson.

NAeA
Orleans to Intercede for anderson.
Baltimore SUM-
WASHINGTON, March Sit has been NH
hcly stated that the visit of Major Gen, Han
cock to New Orleans in February was made
by the request of the President, and was for
the purpose of interceding with Gov. Mich
oils in behalf of Anderson. The following
in reference to this matter is obtained from
source believed to be possessed of the
facts:
After the verdict of guilty in Anderson's
case it was authortaitively given out from the
White House that the President had deter
mined to interfere, and as preliminary had
written letter to the attorney general re-
questlng him to consult authorities and sup-
gest the proper method of action.
The attorney general, after examination.
discovered that the federal government really
could do nothing. and SO informed the Presi-
dent. 1t was at this juncture, so it is said,
tnat suggestion was made to the President
that General Hancock would be good man
to send to New Orleans to plead for Ander-
son; that he and Governor Nichols were
classmates at West Point, and were friends.
and that the people of New Orleans were
very fond of him, and would listen to his
counsel. A messenger was ACCORDINGLY sent
to General Hancock's headquarters in New
York to sound him on the subject. II 10
represented that General Hancock was yerv
averse to having anything to do with the
matter. and that he finally consented solely
as matter of personal consideration for the
wishes of the President, with whom he had
at one time been associated in army service.
he went to New Orleans, and remained
there about two weeks, during which time he
was the recipient of the most profuse social
attentions, although, probably out of defer
ence to his own wishes, very little public no
tlce was taken of his presence in
the city. He had several lengthy in
tervleWs with Governor Nichols, and it is
SAID finally obtained from him an assurance
that he would pardon Anderson if the SUI
preme court of the State did not reverse the
action of the lower court. This information
| was promptly communicated to the author
tiles here. His mission ended, Gen. Han
cock returned to New York. 1t is proper to
state that while the above is thought to be
substantially correct, it is not furnished by
either OF the principals in the affair.
1t IS alleged that since his return, General
Hancock IS more convinced than before that
his scruples against undertaking political
mission OF such character were well founded
but holds that under the circumstances he
could 90 no less than to accede to the request
made OF him. 1t is undoubtedly an unpre-
cedented act, even in this era of making pre-
cedents, for the head of the government al
washington to send a special envoy to treat
with the authorities of State in reference
to the administration of criminal Justice in
| that State.

The accompanying 'reply," which is

to the point, although somewhat Objectionable
in grammar and photography. It is in these
words:

The Times, in leader tomorrow. which
closes as follows: ':Mr. Wells should let us
hear from him again. Write soon,'' refers
to the article complained of by Mr.. Wells,
as follows: "Mr. Wells seems to object in
his quiet and dignifed way to the specifica-
tons that he was a defaulter and receiver
of stolen mules. reference to our files
will show that much more serious charges
| were made in the article that has
attracted his distinguished attention.
The theory advanced in that article
was the generous one that he is insane.
It was urged that no other defense
could cover the record of his crimes, other
than the forgery for which he now stands
! indicted. It was stated that many years ago
he was defaulter to the parish of Rapides
in the sum of $4,000 or thereabouts; that
he now has claim for 1866, 600, before the
Southern claims commission, which the Leg
lslature OF Louisiana has pronounced fraud
ulent, and based on perjury; that he muir
dered in cold blood an amiable and unarn-
ed neighbor, one Matt Despalier. And to
descend to minor matters, and simply as an
illustration of character, the story was re-
called that few years ago, when two stolen
mules were traced to his plan
talon, his overseer, on being re-
quested to point out the animals, replied:

THE TARIFF ON PRINTERS MA.
TERLALS.

The San Francisco Weekly Bulletin
thus calls attention to the increased tar
iff on printers materials:
"The new tariff bill fixes the duty on
news and book type at Is cents per
pound, which is from 40 to 80 per cent.
AL vaIorem. The rate on job and fancy
type is 80 cents per pound, which is
from 40 to 100 per cent. ad valorem.
the annual duties collected under the
present rates did not exceed $4,000.
Under the rates now proposed, the duteis
would probably be prehibltory, a result
which could only be desirable to the
proprietors Of the dozen type foundries
an the United States. There are 10000
printing offices in this country, which
employ net less than 10000 men,
against the 700 employe in the dozen
foundres. There is some competition at
present on the part OF the Scotch type
founders, who pay duties on their i'm
ports and claim to sell better article at
the same price as American type is sold.
The type fuundries in this country have
been doing well under the old tariff. 1t
is quite evident that they do not need
any additional protection. A tariff
which cuts off revenue is not desirable.
The present tariff puts about sec, 900
year in the public treasury from the sale
OF foreign type. This competition is lar
more desirable than prohibltory tariff.
The latter, while it would cut off revenue
would have the effect to increase ful ther
the price Of type in this country, because
all foreign competition would be shut
cut. The 10000 printing Offices in the
United States have considerable interest
in this question. No doubt the type
boundaries would gain an important
point by prohibtory tariff. But
would this private gain be of real bene-
fit TO the country"
The above is an excellent illustration
ol some OF the evils incident to all sys-
tcms Of special protection by govern
Aaent. The small interests struggling
for existence that are 10 danger OF being
killed by home and foreign competition
are without means, and wholly unable
to use money SO as to secure congression-
