THE MUCH.TALKeD OF LETTER TO
GEN. SHERMAN,
Concerning the Presidential Crisis Of Four
Years Ago-Duty ofArmy 0Hicen
in the Event Of No Choice
by the People.
A WAY TO SETTLE THE QUESTION.

The letter given below will be found
to be one Of the most interesting cam
paign documents that has been brought
to light thus far in the present Presi.
dental contest. When the Repub.
lcans revived the fact of such letter
having been written, they claimed that
its tone was tinctured with treason, and
that its publication would greatly dam.
age the prospects OF General Hancock as
the Democratic candidate for President.
These statements were met with an
emphatic denial by Democratic poll
ticians, on the broad fundamental
ground that General Hancock was too
loyal and patriotic to have written or
given utterance to a sentiment that by
even the boldest stretch Of imagination
could be tortured into disloyalty, and
on the subject being mentioned to the
General he emphatically denied that it
contained anything which he would not
wish to have known, and stated that he
only waited for the consent Of General
Sherman before giving it's contents to
the public. That having been freely
given, the letter is now male public,
and is a complete vindcation of the
Republican charges, and adds to the
already high claims OF General Hancock
to the title OF statesman in addition to
his reputation as soldier.

PITTSBURGH, August "a story OF at.

and he demanded that the whole

was approached, but by whom he will

GOVERNMENT BONDS.
Prices Paid for Purchases Prior to 1890
Interesting Tables Prepared by tho
Treasury Department.

lnterestin8 IaDieS prepared DY tho
Treasury Department.
WASHINGTON, August 2.-Tables have
been prepared at the Treasury Depart.
ment, in compliance with request from
some committee OF the House at the
last. session OF Congress, showing the
amounts OF Governments bonds pur.
chased by the Government between the
years 1874 and 1860 and the premiums
paid thereon. The aggregate purchases
are shown to have been S50,5S3, 800, at
~ average premium of III per cent.
7 he highest premium paid was upon 6
per cent. binds, purchased in the
year 1851, at u per cent. premium,
the amount 80 purchased being
seven million dollars. These bonds
had twentythree years to run. The
purchases Of the later years seem not to
nave been made from the surplus reve.
nues OF the Government, as all pur-
chases at the present day are made, but
from the balances in the treasury laid by
to meet current expenses. The balance
was reduced by this means from TWEEN.
ty.two millions in 1858 to seven millions
in 1853. No transactions of large
amounts were made later than 1858, but
in that year several purchases were
made at u rate OF sixteen per cent. pre-
mum.
A somewhat remarkable lack OF fore.
sight on the part OF the Secretaries OF
the Treasury oi that period is shown IN
the fact tha, within fifty days from the
dav OF the last purchase at sixteen per

to mature, the Government was CON.
