Gen. Hancock and Mrs. Surratt.

II the Republicans expect TO gain many votes
by the publication of the stale SANDERS against
Gen. Hancock in connection with the hanging
of Mrs. Surratt, they will be cgregiously mis-.
taken. All Democrats and large number of
Republicans have never hcstated to condemn
those who had any share in the responsibility for
that despCable murder in the most unequiyocal
terms; but Gen. Hancock was not one of those
individuals. As commander of the troops in
Washington it was his duty to order the eNecu-
ton of the verdict of the court martial. Had he
declined to do 1t he would simply have sacri-
feed his future and would have called down upon
his head hurricane of abuse, beside exposing
himself to the graNest suspicious; while, on the
other hand, he could not have avertcd or mitigat-
ed Mrs. Surratts fate in the slightest by such
course. His duty as soldier was to see that the
finding of the court was carried out, and we
have the testimony of Mrs. Surratt's spiritual
adviser and her counsel for the assertion that he
performed that duty in the proper manner.
Southern people have no fault to find with linn
for his conduct toward Mrs. Sunatt, and if they
had they would consider it more than balanced
by the signal services which Gen. Hancock rend
cred them at subsequent period. There could
not be more contemplate piece of business
than for Republican newspapers which approved
and applauded the sacrifice of Mrs. Surratt to the
blind fury Of the northern populace to seek now
Tor purely partisan purposes to injure Gen. Han
cock by endcayoring to create the impression
that he was responsible in the slightest partcu-
lar for that iniquity If this is all that they can
bring agains; his character their fertility Of in
ventiOn in deyisng campaign lies has for once
deserted them. His connection with the Surrntt
affair cannot possibly njurc Gen. Hancock, but,
unless they stop fooling with it, it may rebound
and seriously damage his Republican dctrac

Read the editorial mention,
That the fate of nations rested
On the G. and G. conventions,
But the trees had leaved and blossomed,
And the grass continued growing:
All the sprouts of corn were starting,
And the farmer went on hoeing.
When the matter was decided,
And they made the nomination.,
one declared it was Il blessing,
And another ruination.
Still the fruit grew ripe and mellow
And the wheat was nicely growing;
While the farmer in his garden

Political Notes,

Senator Bayard says Gen Hancock is q
strong candidate, and Zone whose military
and civil record are beyond any question of a
doubt"
Mr. Tilden sent his congratulations to
Cincinnati, on the nomination of Gen. Han
cock and English. He said "the people will
condemn the fraudulent subversion ofthe cleo
ton of 1876 and will assert their power and
resume their sovereign right to choose their
rulers"
Senator Thurman, at ratification meet
ing in Columbus, Ohio, declared with EN-.
phasis that not only was Hancock one of the
ablest, most daring and brave soldiers, but he
is also constitutional lawyer and states
man. An endorsement of that kind from
such source is worth great deal
The New York Sun says: ave are con-
tent, and more than content, with the nomi-
nation. He is a Straightforward, outspoken
sincere man. What he says hemeans; what
he means he does. Under his Administration
We may expect economy, dignity, boldness,
truth, and honor. The old Democratic princi-
pies, which stand like bed rocks in the Con-
sttution, will be the rules by which he will
act. The reformation and renovation of the
Government will lie the object toward which
his efforts will be directed. The Convention
has done well in giving us such candidate"
1t is reported that some jealous New
York Republican politicians are urging Gov
Cornell to call an extra session of the Legis-
lature of that State, in order to pass bill
providing that the presidential electors shall
be chosen by each congressional district in
stead of by general ticket. New York is large
ly Democratic by the popular vote, but the
division Of the congressional districts is such
that the proposed method would secure the
election of some of the Republican Presiden-
tal electors. While the plan proposed is per-
fectly legal, it would be dsreputable act
that would react against the Republican
party in other States, They would lose more
than they would gain by such course
Mr.. Leonard W. Jerome, of New York,
who during and since the war has been an
active Republican, being the founder of the
Union League Club and one OF the proprie-
tors of the New York Times, has written
letter to Gen, Hancock, congratulating him
upon his nomination. and pledging him his
support. In his letter he says that he belongs
to numerous Republican family who TO II
man will vote for Hancock, though never
voting the Democratic ticket before with one
exception. After recounting the manner in
which the policy of hate was engrafled upon
the Republican party, he adds:
For years vast number of us, good Re
publicans have been compelled to he helpless
supporters Of policy we believe to be the
very worst that could be devised An oppor-
tunity is presented us now for the first time,
with any show Of success, to vote in accord
ance with our convictions, and | am sure we
shall do il most iOyfully"
