GENERAL HANCOCK is reported much de
pressed by the reports which reach him
from Maine.
COLONEL X. 6. INoERsoLL is spoken Of
by the Maine papers as the greatest living
orator in the world" "Bob" is said 70
have surpassed himself in his scathing de.
nunciation Of the hybrid hackers Of Garce-
lon.
COMPLIMENTS of the Democratic Ney
York Star to the Greenback candidate
"Weayer might as well retire. After his
brazen career as stooLpigeon, few Green
hackers will be imbecile enough 10 give
him dollar or a vote"
GREENvILLE (South Carolina) Neys .
"The poor, miserable, unprincipled white
man who tries to restore the radical party to
power in South Carolina should be severely
ostracised, and not even spoken to on the
streets. He should be treated as an enemy
TO his race"
SpRINGFIELD Republican: General pre-.
diction over the result in Maine has settled
to the conclusion that Republican victory
is reasonably certain. How large one
must still be considered doubtful but the
indications point to success all along the line
in the state ticket, the Legislature and the
congressional districts"
THE Rochester Herald prints copy of an
order issued by the president in his own
handwriting August l4th, and reading at
is represented that the collector of customs
at Rochester is engaged in working for the
nomination Of the candidate for congress in
his district, and procuring those under him
to do the same. Let him deny this or stop
it,"
WADE HAMPToN's speech, aud his denial
Of the most significant part of it, are now
beginning to be the subject of discussion in
the southern newspapers. The Richmond
Wing, after giving the evidence, which it
holds is sufficient to prove that his speech
was correctly reported, says it was no great
matter if he did say that the cause of the
Democracy was the cause for which Lee
and jackson fought, but that he took so
much pains to deny it, and that, too, with
all solemnity, is matter of grievous mag
nitude."
WHILE Washington was president he
made one journey that took him away from
the seat of government three months and
half, yet he travelled what would now be
considered short distance. To make the Jour
ney President Hayes contemplates would
have taken him the larger portion of year,
whereas President Hayes will be away but
six or seven weeks. President Mouroe
made journey Of two and half months
duration, and visited Fremont, Ohio, (then
wilderness). where President Hayes now
has his home.
CORRESPONDENT of the Philadelphia
Press who has just had an interview with
Judge Black, reports him as saying of Gen.
eral Garfield: al have no desire TO add
anything to my published letter to Blaine.
What said then of him was true, and is
true. With regard to the Credit Mobilier
transaction, have said, and always will say,
that believe General Garfield told me the
truth about 1t. He would not do anything
else. I watched the development of the
investigation, and saw nothing in them to
alter my opinion. will tell you, General
Garfeld's hands were clean in that trans.
action, as lie has always kept Them"
