An Interesting Interview with General
Hancock.
In conversation with Judge Mackey, a
few days sinces he gave US q very inter-
estiug Sketch of men and things as lie
saw them on his recent visit North. He
was profoundly impressed with General
Hancock, with whom he had an extend
ed interview and regards him as in the
first rank of American statesmen. The
/ Judge states that General Hancock is
: confident of victory in the pending cleo
/ ton and expresses his firm conviction
thatswith: free, and untrammelled bal.
lot, uHswayed by the organized interfer-
ence of Federal officials, -'he would be
elected by the votes cast in the Northern
States alone. He declared that in his
I judgment the great and vital issue in
volyed in this campaign is the restora-
; tion Of spirit of fraternal concord among
all American citizens, and that this can
! best be effected by just and equal ad.
j ministration of the laws over all, without
regard to race, color or station. That

general reaction; against those methods
of government and that, sectional

ded to defeat that benign object. He
expressed himself as highly gratified by
the broad and national platform adopted
by the South 'Garolinaf Democracyfin
1876, and reafirmed in 1880. He espe-
cially commended the first article of that
platform which is in thesfollowing words:
ave accept in perfect good faith the
thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth
amendments, to the. Constitution of the
United States; accepting and. standing
up pom them we turn from the settled and
fnal past to the great living and momen.
tous issue of the present and the future"
Here the Judge made certain excul-
patory statement rs derived from Gener-
al Hancock himself touching the Suratt
execution. The Judge reports General
Hancock as saying be made a prompt
return to the writ of hobeas corpus, serv-
ed on him by Judge Wylie, setting forth
the authority by which the prisoner was
held in custody, and also the procla-
,,mation Of President johnson sus-
pending the writ, but declaring that he
submitted himself to the judgment of the
Court and would obey the mandate of
writ if the Court so ordered, afterhearing
the return, by producing the body of the
prisoner in open Court. ~
Judge Wylie held the return sufficient
nd quashed the writ.
Judge Mackey states that many of the
leading business men North, who have
heretofore acted with the Republican
party and aided to furnish it the "sinews
of war" during the past twenty years,
have given in their adhesion to Hancock.
Among these he instances Union Adams,
of New York, the head of one of the
largest, if not the largest, Wholesale
clothing house in the world and worth
many millions of dollars.
The chief fear among men of this class
-merchans and bankers-has been that
if the Democratic party came into power
it might rudely disturb or change disas.:
trously the financial policy maintained
by the Republican administration during
the past four years. Upon this vital
point many of them have conferred with
General Hancock, and are perfectly sat
isfied with the assurances that be has
given them.
Judge Mackey had long conference
with Mr.. John Kelly, of New York,
whom he characterizes as the Waraoick Of
american politics, who, by his splendid
partyr leadership, and, his .unequaled
political sagaciy audSinfexible ,sresolu-
tion, averted great calamity from the
Democratic party. He states that MIR.
Kelly is universally recognized as an in
c,rrnptible public official, who, as comp /,
troller Of New York city, has effected o.
retrenchment and reform in its financial
administration which has. soved to. the
taxpayers nearly sevenmillions Of dollars
during.the past two years.. The Judge
saysthat Tammany is in hearty accord
with the regular Democracy on the Pres.
idential issue, and has hung the Hancock
banner out from its historic hall. He states
,,hat General Hancock and the Democratic
leaders of the North, who are most dis.
tinguished for their political forecast,
regard New York, New Jersey and Indi-
ana as sure for the Democracy, while all
the indications point to the great proba-
bility that Massachusetts and Pennsylva-
mia will be swept from the Republican
column. C..'- '5s,-'s lii...'

The great danger of violence springs
from the practice ofa compulsory diyp-

USES OF BUTrERMILK.-Dathe the
!! face in buttermilk, sour of course; it is
not quite agreeable we know. Take a
soft rag and dip in cup of buttermilk
and wash every part of the face, neck
and hands. Ifthere has been greater
exposure to the sun than usual, after
washing the face well, squeeze out the
cloth and just wipe the skin of, and let
it remain without washing till morning.
You will be astonished to see how soon
