FoR President:
S, HANCOCK, OF PENNSYLVANIA
The weekly democratic statesman. [volume] (Austin, Tex.) 1871-1883, 1880-07-01

HAVING done all in his power to en-
force civil instead of military law In
Louisiana and Texas, and having
brought down upon his head the op-
position of the party in power, and
seeing his ability to preserve freedom
for the people of his district, Gen.
Hancock wrote about this time to a
friend in Congress: 81 hope to be re-
lieved here soon. The President is no
longer able to protect me. So 1 may
expect one humiliation after another,
until 1 am forced to resign. l am pre-
pared for an event. Nothing can in
timidate me from doing what believe
to be honest and right" His letter to
Governor Pease, in which General
Hancock indicated the justice and
policy of his administration bears date
the 9th of March, 1868, and on the
10th of the same month (seven days
afterwards) he was relieved of his COM
mand, and injustice and oppression
and msrtial law were inaugurated in
Louisiana and Texas, under creatures
of the Republican party. General
Grant had been invested by Congress
with extraordinary powers, and being
no longer responsible to the president,
his constitutional commander-in-chief,
he had interfered with Gen. Hancock's
official action, so as to humiliate him
before the people which thus led to the
request from Gen. Hancock that he be
relieved of his command.

At the regular nesting Of the board
OF directors OF the Agricultural and
Mechanical College 1t was discoYered
there was ssconsideFable difference be-
tween receipts and expenditures. The
deficiency is estimated at three, four or
FIVE thousand dollars, and the develop
ment Of this TACT threw G Governor Roberts
into perfect fit of CONSERVATION. He
called on Col. Pfeuffer, secretary of the
board, 20 state the amount, and the
Colonel guessed it could not be over
$4,000. He then called on Col. James,
president of the college, to tell him If
the report he had heard, that there
was a deficiency of $4,000, could be
true. Col. James replied that
It could hardly be over $500,
but be was not prepared with papers, as
he should have been, to state the pre-
else amount. Col. Durant, one of the
board, wanted to know if the defcien-
cy effected Mr.. Gathright, and desired
the most thorough Investigation,
whether it applied to dead man or
live one. The Governor asked Col.
Pfeuffer if there was any evidence of
fraud, to which he replied that there
was none, and that the whole matter
was IN the nature of private accounte,
where books are not posted up to date.
II being improper to provide for anoth-
er session OF the school without closing
up the financial matters of the last
session, the board determined to ad-
journ, to meet in Austin, July 25th.
Unless the balance sheets are clean
when the meeting takes place the Old
Alcalde's CONSERVATION will have set
tied down to an ugly point, and
somebody will hear something ''drap. "
The A. and NJ. College is not to be
exempted from the ''psy as you go"
policy.

Geek as a candidate was considered,
and the decision was made because il
was understood that the constitution
would be held just as sscred by
one as by the other. Mr.. Bay
ard and Gen. Hancock were the
prominent candidates, and since the
former did not seek the nomination,
there is no disappointment, and it may
be safe to presume that the second
choice of almost every supporter of the
Delaware Senator was the soldier that
has served his country we'll both in wal
and in peace. The nominee for the
Vice Presidency, Mr.. English, OF
Indiana, is man of unblem.
ished reputation, and his selec-
ton secures to US beyond a doubt
the vote of Indiana, and probably OF
other Western states. He has been g
congressman, and is man of large
wealth and of great popularity.

How HIS ASSOCIATES REGARD
HIM.

Many letters, in substance such as
follows, have been received by the
STATEsMAN, showing the estimation in
which those who have associated with
Hon. o. M. Roberts regard him. A
gentleman of Eastern Texas writes a
private letter, from which the follow
ing extract is taken:
/ haze been q citizen of Texas for
nearly twenty mine years, and have
known Governor Roberts personally for
twenty-eight years, and l do not be-
lieve any state ever had more faith
full, laborious and psinstaking execu-
tive than he is. have known him in
almost ell the relations of life-as clti-
zen, judge, lawyer, soldier and COVER
nor and IN every one of these he al
ways impressed me as being model,
worthy of the imitation of men. In
the army he was the idol of his men.
He looked after their interest, their
rights and their comfort, through all
the military channels, and / doubt II
there is man surviving who belonged
to his regiment who would hesitate to
go through fire TO reach the polls to
vote for him. As citizen, he was al
ways quiet and unobtrusive, but in
hearty sympathy with every movement
that was calculated to benefit the peo-
Pile; as lawyer, faithful and dill
gent in attention to the interest OF
those who committed their busi-
ness to his charge; as judge,
learned and profound, and who
unraveled the knottiest question
of law that came before him; while as
governor, I believe he surpasses any
man we have ever had in that position,
when the different circumstances oi
then and noU are duly considered. Thai
he has had intellectual superiors il
that position, / do not doubt-notsbly
Gen. ). Pinckney Henderson and Gen,
Sam Houston but the latter two had
not so many responsibilities to meet al
now confront the Governor of Texas.
Governor Roberts excels, think, II
his attention to and familiarity with
the operations of all the departments o.
the government, and his earnest desire
to tighten the burdens of the people,
He was meyer politician, in the
common acceptation of that term. II
1866 and 1856, while he was simply 6

vention, know not, but the public in

battles in Maryland, in the autumn OF
1862, he was made major general of
volunteers. After Fredericksburg and

At the death of Gen. Reynolds, at
Gettysburg, July 1, 1868, Hancock

forces, and seized the position around
which the battle ragged during the two
successive days. He was severely
wounded during the last assault on his
lines, and for conspicuous services dur
ing the battle he received the thanks
