GEN. HANCOCK AND MRS. SURRATT.

tThe New York Sun, in its reference
to available Presidential candidates,
has more than once mentioned the
name of Gen. Winfield S. Hancock-a
name acceptable on more than one
account to every loyal person in the
United States. What, however, does
tho Sun mean by the reference to the
hanging of Mrs. Surratt in connection
with the mention of Gen. Hancock
Was Gen. Hancock Il member of tho
court that tried and condemned Mrs.
Surratt? Was he the person who re-
vised and approved the sentence pro-

We have heard nothing from Aud

greeting, we are satisfied, will be most

posed Constitution, Is he did upon Its

might arise whether Louisiana could

THREAT OF THE BONDHOLDERs.

In advance of any decision of the
vexed question of the estate debit
the bondholders are about to. bring
suit to enforce their claims; and Mr..
Charles O'Connor, their counsel, de-
clares that, II they are not paid In full,
with per cent interest, they Will
seize our State House. - @a' -.
Mr.. O'Connor Is q distinguished New
York lawyer, and no doubt means
just what he says, and his sayings
always have had great weight with
US. But, however much we might
differ from him on this question, to
save argument, we win admit that he
is entirely correct that he can obtain
a judgment that he can actually levy
on the Capitol and can advertise, sell
and buy 1t In. Does not Mr.. O'Connor
know that the moment the Capitol be-
comes private propsFty, 1T would b
subject to taxation, and being totally I'M
fltfor anythlng else, can't Mr.. O'Counor
realize that It's purchasers would have
ON their hands the hughest Of ele-
phantsf ,ar ..7;.t:... -
Tho more we think of It the more
we are inclined to encourage Mr..
O'Connor. The State and city taxes ON
the buildings and ground would not
fall below 90, 900. This amount judi.
ciously. invested In bonds would put
hors 1ss combat about el90, 900 Of these
bonds annually. AT that rate and In
that method, In about one hundred
years, the debt would be extineuished.
This Is the clearese and most expedi.
ttous way out Of the, dimculty-and
damned be reputation! p.
We do not know what the New
Orleans Democrat will say of this sug-
gestion, but we think, with the Demo-
Gratis permission, the idea Is good
one. The bondholders must be salts.
fed and Mr.. O'Connor's reputation
must be sustained.
Or, If 1t would be all the same, we
are willing TO waive the glorlos Of q
lawsuit and fix up matters amicably,
and give tho bondholders fee-simplo
title to the Capitol and grounds, for
the face of the debt. That Is all the
State has, and all they can get, or
seem to want. Now let the bond
holders accept it, and We will trust to
the generosity Of Baton Rouge for a
shelter to cover tho incoming State gov.
eminent.
