General Hanc0ck's Letter 10 General
sherman In 1876.

The Republican press charged
General Hancock with writing a
reasonable letter to General Sher-
man in regard to the Presidential
troubles in 1876, and demand
ed that the letter be published.
General Hancock furnished the
press with a copy % the letter,
the result Of which is that the Be-
publicans do not feel like calling
for any more Of the Generals cor
respondence. The letter, which
has added much TO General Han
cocks strength, and which, we be-
lieve, will receive the commenda-
ton Of every unbiased voter who
is opposed TO the bayouet rule, is

My DEAR GENERAL-Your ia
vor OF the 4tb inst. reached me in
Daily Los Angeles herald., 1880-10-10
1t Settles the Question.
IN. Y. Evening Post, I


Chairman Fowler of the Execu.
tive Committee of the Democratic
State Committee was at the st.
James Hotel this morning. He
had just returned from tour of
this State, and said, when ques-
toned about the outlook: "If the
opinion Of the men whom 1 met by
appointment in Albany, Buffalo,
Utica, Syracuse, Rochester, Mag
ara Falls, Elmira and other places
are any criterion of the sentiment
of the people of this State, New
York, ought to give Hancock and
English fifty thousand majority.
There Ia not a crooked line any.
where as far as l have been able to
see. The party is thoroughly
united, and everywhere 1 heard of
large accessions from tho Republi-
can ranks. These are men who
might have voted the Republican
ticket if Maine hade gone against
us by fifteen or eighteen thousand,
but our victory there will solidify
them and bring in more of the
floating vote. So far as Maine IL
concerned, 1t does not matter
whether we have 500, 1000 or 1000
majority. 1t was q great victory
for us and settles the question as to
who will he the next Presinent."

How a Husband Was Lost.

When the late Lafayette s. Eos.
ter was young and rising lawyer
he wooed and was engaged to q
young lady whose family enjoyed
larger social prominence than
his own. The wedding day had
been fixed, and the couple were
talking over the prospective tour,
as a part of which young Foster
proposed that they should spend a
few days with his parents, who re.
sided in q town some distance
away. The lady rather reluctant
ly consented, but said: ~ will 60
with you this time, but in future
you must not expect my visits to
your parents to be very frequent,
You must remember that our as.
sociations have been very differ
ent." Surprised aud shocked by
this cold-bloOded depreciation of
the father and mother whom he
loved and hOnOred, the young man
paced the floor, the sport OF seeth.
Ing and conflicting emotions.
taking his hat, he turned
to the lady, and said: III am glad
l have found you out in time; you
may 60 to the devil" The rebuke
might not have been choice In
style, but 1t was earnest in spirit.

THOSE GOLD.BEARlNG SPRINGS
Some Curious Information Furnished by
Mark Twain.

Mark Twain writes as follows to
the New York Evening Post: 81

San Francisco, in Saturdays Even

in the Calistoga Springs, and bout
the proprietOr's having 'eXtrac.ed

surprise many of your readers, but
it does not surprise me, for | once

does surprise me, however, Is the
falling off in the richness of the
water. In my time the yield was

this to iDjure the property in case
a sale Is contemplated; 1 am only
saying it in the interest of history.
1t may be that this hotel proprI.

yes, that may be the fault. Mine
was to take my uncle-I had an
extra uncle at that time, on &C.
count of his parents dying and
leaving him on my hands-and fill
him up, and let him stand fifteen
minutes to give the water a chance
to settle well, then insert him into
an exhausted receiver, which had
the effect of sucking the gold out
through his pores. I have taken
more than $11, 200 out OF that man

SHOULD the Democrats manage,
after all, to carry Indiana. the New
York Herald is accommodating VAL
liable evidence 40 to the honesty
aud poverty CT the Democratic
management in that State. That
journal, In its issue of October lat,
says:
A Herald correspondent tele-
graphs from indianapolis some
further accounts of the miserable
prospects Of the Democrats. They
have no money, and have had less
than twenty-five thousand dollars
in all to spend In the canvass, he
reports; English's appropriately
continues great, and there are
growing discussions among the
Democratic leaders; Weaver, the
Greenback candidate, has come out
fiercely against the Democratic
ticket and party, and altogether it
looks, from these accounts. as
though the Republicans were hav-
ing it all their own way, as they
have abundance of money aud nc
quarrels.
Daily Los Angeles herald., 1880-10-10

GRANTS personal malevolence
towards Hancock will make the
latter many votes. Gen. William
Tecumseh Sherman, on being sp.
piled to by the correspondent OF a
New York paper as to his impress
sions of Hancock said, "Sit down
"and write oil that can be put into
"the English language in praise of
"Hancock as an officer and a gen.
"tleman, and ! will cheerfuliy
''sign It," Grant, on Hancock's
nomination, held substantially
the same language. 1t would
have been a happy thing for this
restless and discarded man il he
had continued to keep his mouth
shut. But he is evidently travel
ing in the track of his brother
Orvil.
Daily Los Angeles herald., 1880-10-10

IT would almost seem that the
several County Committee!
throughout the State will be
obliged 10 run local tickets. In
many sections the determination
to keep the local candidates in the
field has been reached, amongst
the rest In Sacramento. The opin.
lon prevails that the recent decis-
ion Of the Supreme Court was rem.
dered on partial examination OF
the test case, and that the Court in
banc will be apt to modify the
opinion andjudgment as published.
So thoroughly experienced and ju.
dicious man as eX-Attorney-
General Hamilton thinks that 10.
cal elections should be held, and
he has expressed the opinion that
the candidates elected will hold the
offices. Attorney-Gsneral Hart is
also understood to hold substan-
TALLY the same views as to the ad-
visibility of an election. On the
other hand, many of the
ablest lawyers in the State
adopt the views promulgated
In the decision of the Su.
preme Court, and belieye that
county elections, except for officials
coming under the designation OF
constitutional officers, cannot be
legally held. However the matter
may be determined, there should
be uniformity of action and a
understanding. 1t will
hardly do to cleo. county officials
at Sacramento and fail to elect
them in San Diego, nor will it be
the square thing for one party to
run candidates, while the other lets
the election go by default. 1t Is
much to be hoped that there may
be at once established a general
in the matter between all
the political parties and in all the
and that the Supreme
Court, IL 1t eontemplates rehear-
ing In the test case, should at once
announce its purpose and render
Its revised opinion at the earliest
day possible.
Daily Los Angeles herald., 1880-10-10

Now comes along q dispatch
from the Associated Press which
tells us that Hancock's physician
says that he is in perfect health,
with the promise Of long and use
ful public life, eight years Of which,
We venture to add, will be spent in
the Presidential chair. Nothing
could more infallibly indicate the
desperation to which the Republic
cams are reduced than the senseless
and puerile character OF the news
which Is circulated ostensibly to
tpjurs Hancock. All these silly
Efforts resemble nothing 30 much
~ the boomerang Of the Austria.
Han, which, projected from an un.
skilIful hand, returns and knocks
over the thrower.
Daily Los Angeles herald., 1880-10-10

WE believe that, for the first
time in twenty years, the Asso.
ciated Press Will let the news as to
the Indiana election come over the
wires 1t once. Should 1t favor the
Republicans, they will fash it
forth only too gladly. On the
other hand, should the Democrats
carry the Hoosier State, this saga
cious Institution will see that 1t is
time to "fop," and the change Of
attitude will be made with the sud.
denness Of one Of Jump Jim Crows

THERE is really something
scandalous and unprecedented In

schemes in Indiana. For years
they have been importing colored
voters into that State, and Illinois
has been lately yielding a liberal
proportion of Indiana citizens. II

such odds, the Republican CAM
