DEMoCRATIC NOMINEES. - Winfield
Scott Hancock, for President and VIM. e
English as Vice President of the Demo-
cratic party, are entitled to some more ex-
tended notice than has been given them
in these columns. Gen Hancock was
born in Pennsylvania in 1924, and is SO
years old. lie graduated from West
Point in the class of IA with Grant and
Mcclellan. From the frontier he went in.
to the Mexican war and was honorably
promoted. On the breaking out of the re-
bellion, he was made Major General, and
was prominent in many of the battles of
of the Potomac Army. He was severely
wounded at Gettysburg, but was enabled
to take command ofa corps under Grant
in the final march of that army from Cul-
pepper to AppomatoX, and did his full
share in crushing out the south, to which
he is now indebted for his nomination.
Perhaps no Union General more cordially
despised the copperheads of the north,
than he. Since the war he has been in
the army, u Democrat. He was sent by
An drew johnson to replace Phil. Sheri
dan in Louisiana. Lately he has been
stationed ut Governors Island, N, Y.
Bay, where he has become favorably
known as an easy-going, courteous gentle
man In the eyes Of the ladies he was
recognized as superbly handsome man,
and of unblemished reputation. He was
nominated to catch the soldier vote, but
this bit Of hnessing will probably be
found to be some ten or fifteen years too
late, and the issue between the two parties
will find It's basis on their respective poll
cies The American people distrust the
Democratic party, as they have reason to-
for every where; on every occasion; in
Congress and out; in State Governments
and upon the stump; at all times and in
every way, has this party convinced the
people ofits folly aud madness--its want OF
loyalty to the highest interest of the coun'
try. The business-the property-hc
hope of good government, are all too mo
mentous and dear to thopatriotic people
of this nation, whose blood and treasure
have been 50 freely poured out for the
preservation OF the nation, to now let il
again pass into the hands of those who SC
recently waged war for Its destruction
Our battle is W ith this same Democratic
party, and not against any mere man whosC
thirst for office and cunning may be placed
in nomination for the catching of thought
less and unwary voters.
MT English unlike General Hancock
has had some civic experience, He Il
cultured, been speaker Of the Indianl
House and served in Congress, He is
banker and reported to be as sharp an'
exacting as a misor in his financial tran
sactions with his customers, but other
wise a worthy man

ANOTHER STEAMER BURNED--The steam

o'clock on Monday afternoon with about
300 passengers, on her trip to Roslyn,
Long Island, and intermediate points
along the east river and the Sound.
When off Randall's Island, slight explo-
sion was heard, which attracted attention,
and the flames were discovered to be maxi
ing rapid headway about midships The
boat was Immediately headed to the shore
and successfully grounded, where she
was lifted considerably, and whore the
pilot, after being badly burned, jumped
into the water and touched bottom. The
excessive heat drove many Of the passen-
gers to take to the water, and notwlth-
standing the number of steamers and small
boats that hastened to the scene, from 4C
to 80 passengers are believed to have been
lost. The direct cause Of the fire is d
mystery. The boilers are said to show ne
fracture. These two steamer disasters
col ming so near together, force upon u'
the thought that in the midst Of life W,
are in death.

In paper read before the Bridgeport

DR.. G. l., Porter gave u detailed account
Of the experiments made with the body Of
Edwin Hoyt, recently hanged for murder.
1t Gems that the doctors tried their hands
at restoring him to life. Aud they came
"within one Of doing this. BY the ap-
plication Of electricity, they caused the
eyes to open and the eyeballs to roll, the
face to assume smile or frown, the
arms to strike out and the respiration to
proceed in seemingly natural manner.
There was only one obstacle that they en-
countered. The heart was persistenlly
still. Every other muscle would move,
but this, the most important OF all, was
immovable. After exerting themselves to
the utmost they concluded that the flame
Of life once extinguishod could not be re-
stored by science or by man. And so they
left the poor body to its natural fate. They
were spared the difficulty OF answering
the question as TO what should have been
done with the murderer had he came back
to life aud consciousness,

renomnsted, this question would necossari-
ly have been made most prominent. With
his Disappearance from the canvass the
question also vanishes His nomination
would have presented it in the most slrik-
ing manner, but il is absurd to lay much
stress on it now. The national response Of
the country will be: "If you believed he
was elected before, why did you not try to
elect him again? II he once poled as you
say, IL majority of quarter Of a million

The action Of the National Committee in
sending out the Butler Democrats from
Massachusetts, ard the Tammany crowd
from New York, and sending them to the
Committee on Contested Seats, was pretty
generally anticipated, but It was none the
less provoking to those delegations. Both
claim they have the voters behind them,
and that this gives them their title Of le-
gtimacy. The Butler men say they rep
resent 1000 votes Of Massachusetts, I;
and Tammany says that without her votes
no Democrats can be elected in the City Of
New York. Both delegations were given
tickets OF admission to the hall, but were
not allowed to take part in the proceed
ings.
The Tilden men from New York are
much reioiced over the action Of the Com
mittee in the case of Tammany. They say
it is the last If John Kelly that this is
his last appearance in National politics,
and that it must destroy him in New York
all OF which makes the Tammany men
laugh.

Eds. 7el-I notice in the call for the
congressional convention, in some Of the
county papers, the basis Of representation
has been changed, and Ashtabula county
is given 80 delegates instead Of 50-the
number to which she IS entitled. The
basis Of representation agreed upon by the
convention. was one delegate for every l25
votes cast for Chas. Foster Tor governor,
in 1879 in each county Of the district, and
one additional delegate for each final
fraction Of G3 or more, to be apportiOned
among the several townships by the dis
trict convention Of the several counties.
Upon this basis, the counties are entitled
to the following delegates: Ashtabula so;
Geauga, 81; Lake, 81 Portage, %; Trum-
bull, As.
The basis agreed upon is not satisfactory
and IN order that the matter may he adj
justed, meeting Of the committee will be
held in Painesyille next Tuesday.

A large number Of the Democratic dele
gates and Tqnmany lobbyists, on their
way home, passed this place on Friday
last, on the l.. s. line. The faithful at
once conceived the idea that it was an oo-
casion upon which demonstration could
be made. They, therefore, gathered with
music and munitions Of war, intending
that the recognition and serenRde should
be not a little glorious. But how unfor-
tunate! Salt petro and brass ordinance
were Of no account. The windows OF
heaven were opened, and the floods came
as ifa second edition Of that Of father
Noah, and heavens artillery rolled, and
ratified, and snapped as il in derision Of
the puny Democratic efforts below, and
the consequence was that the Democracy
subsided and saved their wind and little
boom, and went home-those at least, who
daren to show their disappointed,
sad and soaked-with pure water.

Secretary Sherman having denied Il e

Though North Carolina with no other prr
pose than to give encouragement to Mr..

tary Of the National Republican Committee
and then Chairman of the North Carolina
Republican Committee, that if he would
throw his influence in aid of the Secretary.
he could have a good Office even though be
performed to service for his pay.
Second. That at an interview of his own
making Secretary Sherman, though being
assured that the sentiment Of North Carroll
IA Republicans was so,idly for Grant. asked
'iOnel keogh to try and divide the delega-
t!on In his interest. intlmating at the same
time that Colonel keogh's friend, Mr.. Pow

Third. That Mr.. Cannady and other Trea-
sury officers, who are piid by the reople to
