DID HANCOCK DO IT ?

There is remarkable story now 60
ing the rounds of the newspapers. the
substance of which is, that Gen. Han
cock wrote letter to Gen. Sherman in
1876, saying he believed Mr.. Tilden
was legally elected President, and was
entitled to take the oath Of Office in
some other place than Washington.
And furthermore, as an army officer, if
he should receive orders from "Presi-
dent Tilden'' at midnight of March Sd,
to sustain him in the presidential Office,
he should obey the call with troops. 1t
appears that Gen. "Baldy" Smith first
gave utterance to this story at Demo
cratic conclave held at Waterbury last
March, and that since Hiram Atkins of
the argus has told the same story.
The Boston Journal pertinently re-
marks, "The public is very much inter-
ested in that letter, and if the facts are
as Mr.. Atkins asserts, Gen. Hancock s
friends should at once get the letter,
and place it before the public" Now
perhaps this is nothing but sensation
al political story, got up to carry some
little point, and if so, we can let it 60
in at one ear and out at the other. But
if Gen. Hancock really did do such a
thing, the world can never can call him
a loyal man to his country. 1t is just
such little schemes as these that have
produced revolutions in the past. Nc
true patriot will ever work only consti
tutionally and above board. He is moi
cOnniving in the dark, to see how he
can carry his plans by secrecy. He
boldly asserts his rights, face to, face
and makes no secret of his belief or in
tentions. If this be true of Gen. Han
cock, he was prepared to spring tral
upon the country, the effects of which
must have been a calamity to all par
ties, and an everlasting disgrace to u
as nation. We prefer now to believ
that Gen. Hancock was in no such dis
creditable business. Though Demo
crat, we had rather think of him as al
honorable soldier, and one who woul,
never blacken his hands or his reputa
ton in establishing so dangerous pre-
cedent, much less to be actually foun
engaged in conspiracy, the only tru
name we can give to such action.-Ca

WASHINGTON, July 5, 1880.
Of the political parties, the Republi-
can has least cause of uneasiness, for
the skies are bright with promise of
success. It is not all certain that New
York will be the debatable ground, for
with California, Indiana and Connecticut
the election would be assured, and there
now seems no doubt but what the Re-
publicans will receive the electoral votes
of the above states. Garfield represents
party and party principles that has a
history rich with craftsmanship, while
Hancock represents no principle. no
party-or if the representative of any
thing, he is the exponent of West Point
aristocracy and exclusiveness, which are
unrepublican, not in the party sense,
but in its comprehensiveness. West
Point has educated set of men, who,
sent there by the public generosity, have
shown themselves exclusive and unamer-
lean, and the most enthusiastic, blatant
howlers here are the West Pointers. who
see IN the nomination of Hancock not a
recognition of military service. but a
recognition of their class. 1t is anus
ing to see how the ex-rebel and southern
sympathizer during the war fraternize
and hug each other in ecstatic joy, over
''now restored union" No one should
get angry at the dwelling of an idiot,
and the dismal performances of such
men are the merest idiocy. which may
amuse, but deceives no one. No, it is
simply policy. The Democracy have
found it expedient to smother for the
time the old 'rebel yell'' and to fall into
line with the procession that has kept
step to the music of the Union. 1t is
for no new born love of the Union, that
the South is so unanimous over the nom
ination of Hancock. Not because they
have seen the error of their ways. and

all, they do not support Hancock be-
cause of his record of loyalty. not
because he was instrumental in whipping

he is Democrat and is the standard

ciple in this fight, is to get possession

LETTER FROM NEW YORK.

ESPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE MoN1ToRI
New YORK, July 5, 1880.
The inhabitants of la belle France do
not leave their own country willingly.
Emigration abroad has never been
cause for the depopulation of that coun-
try which the French government had
any reason to fear; and it is not now
a movement of any such volume as the
exodus taking place from Great Britain.
Germany, and other countries of Eu-
rope. Frenchmen, at home, are emf
nently an industrial people, and, with
plenty of employment and a delightful
country, it has needed strong influences
to drive them abroad. These influences
have been furnished, finally, in the
provinces that were once a part of
France; but which now yield an en-
forced allegiance to Germany, and the
exiles of Alsace-Loraine have become a
strong colony in New York. The French
language is no longer an unusual sound
here. You hear it upon the streets, in
the saloons, at the theatres, through the
hotel corridors, and everywhere where
people congregate for pleasure or BUSH
ness; and the French papers sell large
ly at the news-stands. Forty thousand
has been the estimated number of
French inhabitants now in New York !;
and it is not likely that the present CEN
sus will show this to be an overstate-
ment. Twenty-four different societies
took part in the festival, held on Sun
day and Monday of this week at Jones'
Wood, and the throngs in attendance,
night and day, showed how large was
the population from which their re-
sources were drawn. Everything was
French at this festival. The decora-
lions were French, tasteful and elegant,
with a sufficient use of the American
flag to show sympathy with the adopted
country of the jewellers. But the dresses
were altogether French, the games were
French. and the spirit and vivacity Of
the entertainment was French in the
extreme. The purpose of the festival,

A WHOLESOME LESSON.

Among the best lessons taught by
the hard and disastrous times of the
last few years. was the pay down les
son. Probably many men who had all
their Lifetime been in the habit of run
ming in debt for the most of the things
bought, have learned, at least they are
now practicing that better system of
paying as they 60. The good effect of
this way of dong business is being seen
and felt in all quarters. The system
conduces to economy, in the first place,
and is Que of the things that teach men
to be prompt. The man who habitually
goes in debt, never wants anything
until he finds himself short Cd pay day,
and then he is inclined to borrow, or
run in debt to meet his current bills.
On the other hand, the prompt payer
gets along" in some way, until be has
the ready cash and then pays for his
purchases. The in debt condition, as
many know, is one Of discomfort and
harrassing fOrbodings. 1t is kind of
quagmire that often buries the victim
deeper and deeper. as he tries to extri-
cate himself until he goes under for
ever. The cash system is gradually be-
coming more and more the system, both
in cities and towns. until many parties
doing large business give no credit.
Farmers and merchants all about the
country are paying more promptly than
they were four years ago, even, and they
are learning the advantages of this
plan. We are told that those who are
this year buying moving machines and
other costly farm machines are almost
invariably paying cash. The same is
true in the purchase of sewing machines,
furniture and other articles for the
house. This may be due in part to the
improvement in the illness over two
years ago. but it is largely due to the
fact that men and women are learning
that it is better to pay debts than to
contract them, better to do without nee.
essary things even, than to run in deb
for them.

Last week brought the first definite
reports of an unfavorable character from
the western grain fields, and there was
in consequence quite break in the New
York stock market. Bad weather and
insects have no doubt wrought consider
able mischief to the wheat crop, but it
is too early to say that it is general
enough to seriously affect the total yield.
The gains of the railroads continue to
be enormous. the New York Central
having earned So, 100000 more in the
past nine months than in the correspond
ing period of the last fiscal year, but the
fear of ''the street" is that after the old
crop of cereals is cleared up they will
have less to do, as the European crops
still promise we'll. But some of the
roads not specially dependent on the
crops are making SPLENDID record,
such as the Union Pacific and the Den
yer and Rio Grande. The good condl-
ton of general business and great flow
of immigrants to the country profit the
western roads immensely.

WILLIAM II. ENGLISH.

William H. English, the Democratic
nominee for the Vice Presidency, was
born in Lexington, Scott county, Ind,
Aug 81, 1922. His early education
was only such as could be picked up in
the common schools in the vicinity, sup
plemented by course of three years at
the South Hanover college. At eigh-
teen years of age he was admitted to
practice in the Circuit Court of his ma
tive State. He was subsequently adj
mitted to practice in the Supreme Court
of the State of Indiana, and at the age
of % he made his first appearance be-
fore the Supreme Court of the United
States. In 1843 he was clerk of the
Indiana House, and during President
Folks administration he was a clerk in
the Treasury Department. In 1851 he
was elected to the Indiana Legislature
and was the speaker of that body.
In 1852 he was elected to to Con-
gress and was reelected until 1861.
He was Democrat in all that time.

fasten slavery upon Kansas. He was,
during the war, what is known as a
peace Democrat, and sustained his party
in the Legislature when it refused to
make appropriations to answer the calls
of the President upon the State fol
troops. He is understood to be HARD
money man, but in 1878 supported Mr.
De LaMatyr for Congress. Mr.. English
is now understood to be wealthy man
having been banker for some years.

Probably nothing more ludicrous

A joint fleet in the Bosphorus off Serag-

that which they failed to accomplish by
rebellion. They say, why should we
fight over the gone and dead issues of
the war? That the Republic should
not perish from the face of the earth is
not a dead issue, and is one which will
enter pretty thoroughly into this canvass,
when we see..under the blue,s confed-
crate grey. In 1861, the South were
extremely anxious to get out of the
Union and expended blood and fortune
to accomplish it. In 1880, they are
extremely anxious to get into the Union,
"that the principles of self government
may triumph" No one is deceived by
this new born, exhibition of fraternal
love, and the Republican and Union
soldier is going to vote as he shot, for
the good of the people. Is it rational
or human to expect that the confeder-
ates, who nominated Hancock, and he
who so sorely punished them, can love
! him, or the cause he so valiantly fought
to vindicate? l miss my judgment
