GEN. HANCOCK AND MRS. suRRATT

Editor NetU York iSt0a ...
Great Injustice is done Gen. Hancock
by the extract you publish this morn
ing, from the Indianapolis Journal, of
an interview with q Catholic priest,
who is wholly misinformed. Gen.
Hancock was in command of depart
ment of the army, headquarters at
Washington, at the time of the execu-
tion of Mrs. Surratt, but had no more
to do with the trial and sentence and
execution of that unfortunate lady
than the Fraudulent occupant of the
White House.
Hartranft, the late Republican Gov
ernor of Pennsylvania, and at present
an office-holder, I believe, and an in
terested supporter of the Fraudulent
administration was the hangman of
that poor woman, and if the facts be
true as related at the time, of his de-
pertinent on that occasion, "his heart
was in his VOCATION: The day before
the execution of Mrs. Surratt, for the
execution followed speedily her SEN
tence, an officer of high rank in the
army, on duty at the War Department,
notified the reverend gentleman Mrs.
Surratt's confessor) il he persisted in
proclaiming her innocence, he would
not be admitted to the prison and al

rites Of the Church. If this officer Is
yet alive Che was Catholic, I regret to
say) he has not forgotten the rebuke
the priest administered to him, as he
refused to obey the behests of the War
Department.
Gen. Hancock, under orders from
the War Department, refused to obey
the writ of habeas corpus issued by
that eminent jurist-who did not be-
lieve the voice of the law should be
unheard amid the clash of arms-J udge
Andrew Wylie of the Supreme Court,
District of Columbia. Had the writ
been obeyed, it is thought Mrs. Surratt
would have been saved, and the black
est page in American history been un-
written.
So confidently did Gen. Hancock, as
others who were informed of the efforts
being made, expect a pardon or re-
prieve, that relays of cavalry were sta.
toned at intervals between the White
House and the place of execution.
How q pardon was prevented will be
told in the future.

John l.. Bosnian, In his history OF
Maryland, says that when tho Span
iartls first landed on tho Canadian
coast they looked around for while,
and finding no Indications Of gold or
silver, cried out, Aca NADIA, meaning
"there Is nothing here" Tho Indians
hearing this phrase used 80 much, en-
ployed 1t to designate the Spaniards
after they were gone. When the
French arrived, being white, tho In
dians took them for the same kind OF
people, and cried out, Aca NADIA, Aca
NADIA. The French supposed this to
be the name of tho country, and
dropping the a, called it Canada. Mr..
Bosnian says there il the best authority y
for believing this to be the true dcriva-
tion of the name.
