Writing Of Cuba reminds of incident which
occurred just prior to the late war; In which Admiral
Cthen Lieutenanb Porter an envable distinction
He was an energetic oncer, and growing weary Of
the ennu OF his naval life, for at peace with
all the world, obtained leave and accepted the
mand OF the Black Warrior, steamer plying between
New York and Havana. Soon after he took the po-
sition difficulty arose between authorities and
the Spanish ocas relative to the landing OF passen-
gers, and result the Black Warrior, then lying
at the wharf, was denied permission to leave the
harbor, and the guns of Moro Castle brought
bear upon her. The gallant Porter, In 10 wise i'll
tlmdated, ordered the American nag run up guns
put In position gunners to their posts, steam on, and
amid the roar of cannon and through their smoke he
run the Warrior. The incident came very near pre-
cipitating war with Spain, and II took months OF
time and barrels of diplomatic notes to smooth the
ruiied Spanish feathers. Then the golden oppor-
tunty to take possession OF the coveted island. II
was I'm the full flush OF prosperity, and well deserved
Its ttle-the Gem of the Antilles. The firing on our
flag created stir, and the hot-headed South In
favor OF instantaneous retaliation; but the cool sense
OF the North prevailed, and by ample apology from
the Spanish government a conflict avoided. The
career Of Admiral Porter from that period till the
close of our war was signalzed by the same pluck,
courage and energy marking his conduct IN "out-
running - the Black Warrior.

Can Republican Vote for Hancock

To The Editor Of The National Republican,.
SIR: 1t Is occasionly announced in the
democratic papers that republican who has
always voted the republican ticket will vote
for General Hancock for president of the
United States. This may be true in few
isolated cases. But why should a republican
vote for General Hancock E? Nobody disputes
that General Hancock was brave efficient
aud faithful soldier, But is this any reason
why republican should vote for him to fill
u purely civil office? IN his services for tho
union cause General Hancock simply did his
duJy IusU aI General Garneid aud thOus".is
of others did. But did the nomination of Gen.
oral Hancock by democratic convention
change the character or the principles of the
democratic party2 General Hancock is for
tho tmo being tho embodiment of democratic
principles ana the representative of u class of
mon who fought to destroy the government.
and now support q nan who helped to dcfoat
that vio purpose. Does any man believe there
is honesty or sincerity in this? If thoro is
any such man the proper treatment for him is
helubore.
This is simply another decoptious attempt
on the part of the brigadIers to win bv votes
what they failed to accomplish by bullets.
Aud will any true republican aid them in this
nciarous purpose Perish the thought.
Doubtless the republican party has made
mistakes, Nothing human is perfect But
the scope and design of republican legislation
has been and is to dispense equal justice to all,
to place all on an equality before the laws,
aud to give the Same rights to tho rich and to
the poor. This character of Legislation republi-
can presidents have honestly endeavored to
mako effective. Aud this is what the repubi.
can party propose to do In the future. Upon
such policy as this depends the peace, tho
prosperity and the happiness of this great
nation. To accomplish this great end lot
every republican stand by his guns. W.

Especial Dispatch to THE NATIoNAL REruBLicASl ]
SPRINeFIELD, MASS, July o. 1880.
The National aud Worcester clubs measured
strength here to-day. and the former was
badly defeated. Both mines played Gne
folding game, but tho Worcestors proved
stro INCEST at the bat. They were also luckiest
with their hits and managed to got them
toge ther where they proved beneficial. They
made thirteen clean hits to the Nationals seven
The latter could not bunch thoir hits, but
once or twice let slip chances that would have
yielded runs. Worcester made three errors
and the Nationals four.
The Worcestors arc posted aud advertised TO
play here next Monday, but tho siso of tho
crowd to-day did not suit them and they have
cancelled the date, Tho attendance would
have been better but the accommodations
were poor. As the coming of the Nationals
was unexpected the grounds were found in AN
unimproved condition. Seats will bc erected
as soon as possible tho grounds receive imme-
dhte attention, and by next week tho Nh
tionals will have us good grounds as any club
IN the country. After tho Springfield club
dIsbanded last year tho seats were removed
and tho grounds passed unnoticed, which ac.
counts for their present condition.
The management of the Nationals have
been active in cfleciing engagements for their
| club, aud judging by those already made,
they will give the Springfield people AN OPP.
