NEW YORK, September 9 The l Times says: Hancock has witten z | very frank and explicit letter on the question of he rebel claims. If he | had kindly sent copies of it to the va riouS orators who treated the question | at the Tammany meeting on Thurs day, he might have saved much em- barrassment. He says: {" If l were President would veto all legislation | which might come before me proyld- ing for the consideration or paymen! of claims of any kind for losses or damage by persons who were in re- bellion, whether pardOnei or not" Tins is conclusive, SD far as he is con cerncd. He does not speak behind forced construction of the Fourteenth Amendment, but declares his personal purpose in regard to Legislation which the amendment does not cover. The assurances which he gives are credit to his honesty and his independence and are such as every intelligent citi- zen, whatever his political creed, should rejoice to receive. The coun- try will now devote its attention to other and graver issues between the two parties, of which there is no lack, and in which the position of Hancock is completely identified with that of his party.

Cincinnati: Dear sir-YOur letter of the 20th has just been received. re- gret that you are disturbed about that hugbear, the Southern war claims. People cannot be misled by it to sup pose that Rebel claims-Or claims in the instance of persons who were i1 rebellion can in any way or in any degree be countenanced; it IS an inn pu.ation of disloyalty such as used 10 be made against the Democrats even when they were in arms defending the country. So far as it touches me. denounce it. The Government can never pay a debt or grant pension, or reward of any sort, for waging war upon its own existence; nor could l be induced to approve or encourage the payment of such debt, pension or reward. Nobody expects or wants such unnatural action. To propose i, would insult the intelligence and honor of our people. When the Re bellion was crushed, the heresy Of se- cession was buried forever. IL is n thing of the dead past. We move for ,vard not backward. If | were Pres
