ACTIVE CAMPAIGN WORK,
Republicans TumbIiny to Hancock,
[By Telegraph to the Sentinel


New YORK, July 10.-A new Hancock
and English campaign club, under the
name of the Workingmen's Hancock and
English Campaign Club, was organized on
Thursday evening, at No. 70s Broadway,
counting nearly forty members for the first
night. Speeches were made in English
and German, and the greatest enthusiasm
was manifested whenever the names Of
Hancock and English were mentioned.
Several Republicans present signed their
names as members. The anti Chinese
plank of the Cincinnati platform was
promptly Endorsed.
The Sun says: Just as the Republicans
were beginning to falsify the records by
trying to prove that Mr.. English was a
terrible pro-slavery Democrat while in
Congress, a quarter OF a century ago, and
was almost a rebel during the war, it
turns out that he voted for Mr.. Lincoln
for President, and that Senator Morton,
then Governor of Indiana, offered him the
c~olonelcy of one of the volunteer regi-
ments Of that State.
The Herald, in editorially considering
the probable contents Of the letters OF ac-
ceptance Of the Presidential candidacy,
says: Mr.. Garield's training should make
him more skillfui in the preparation of
such q document than his rival, but, on
the other hand, he is confronted with Pc
cuiiar endorsements, growing out of the
fact that important declarations in the Chi
cago platform condemn conspicuous parts
of his personal record. Mr.. Garfield can
not indorse the platform in which he was
nominated without stultifying his own &C.
ton in Congress. The Chicago platform
had an anti-Chinese plank, but Mr.. Gar
fields speeches and votes in the House ex-
hibit him as the ablest and most Jealous
opponent of the illiberal prejudices Of the
Pacific States his record on this subject
does him credit, but it quite precludes him
from asserting to that part of the platform.
He will be still more embarrassed by the
strenuous support given in the platform to
Mr.. Hayes last veto. The paternity Of the
vetoed bill can be traced to him on incon-
testible evidence. 1t was Mr.. Garfield
himself that proposed the modification of
the election laws, which the Democrats in
Congress took up and passed, and which
the Chicago platform praises Mr.. Hayes
for vetoing. With what grace or face can
Mr.. Garfield turn his back upon himself,
and commend in the platform what he con-
demned by his action in Congress. 1t will
tax his conceded ability and shrewdness to
write a letter Of acceptance, which will not
stultify his w record. General Hancock
will not encounter similar difficulties, be-
cause. excepting his military orders in the
South, he has taken nj part in the discus
sion Of public questions.

pany's Once I'm a CarDet.bag.
New York, July 10.-The Times thus
comments: On another page Of the Times
will be found an entertaining narrative Of
the incidents Of a reporters quest for the
principal Offices of the Pacific Mail Steam
ship Company. The establishment was
finally discovered in a deserted frame
house in Clarkstown, Upper Nyack, Rock
land county, New York. The corporation
has been assessed in this city on a valua-
tion Of 50, SOC, 900. The managers of the
company, in some mysterious and unex-
planned manner, learned that the Legis-
lature would enact . law providing for the
assessment and the collection of taxes on
corporations in the city or county in which
their principal offices were situated; so,
before the Legislature met, the Pacific
Mail Steamship Company put its principal
offices into q carpet-bag and carried them
to Clarkstown, where they remain in strict
seclusion. Rocklsnd county assesses the
corporation at a valuation OF 81, 900, 900.
at a rate unknown, and is glad to get so
handsome an addition to the taxable prop
erty, but 1t does not seem reasonable that
this transparent humbug should benefit
the Pacific Mail Steamship Company.
A Wonderful. Buffalo Hunt.
CHICAGO, July 10.-An army officer, sta
toned at Fort Keogh, and now in this city,
gives an account Of a buffalo hunt which
recently took place on and in the Yellow
Stone. The Grow Indians getting a little
short OF meat, went in pursuit of buffaloes.
and finding q herd Of 1000, attacked it
savagely. The animals became Infatuated
after . while, and started in q panic for the
river, followed by the no less excited red
skins. Soon there was an indis..nguisha-

and mat the ponies and buffaloes, almost
innumerable. met q similar fate.
