III General Hancock should be elected he would
probably have n Cabinet and 1t is likely that goou
many new appointments to Office would be made-
very likely. 1t would be interesting then TO see the
Hancock plan of running Government, as eW-
bodied in tho Generals extraordinary communlca-
ton to General Sherman in 1877 put into operation
on n large scale. The reader will hardly
have forgotten that this plan in-
volyed, not tho subordination OF the

Of his political friends calls on him for troops, ana
to give his superors notice that he will obey them
or not. as he pleases. TUE TRIBUNE with that
prophetic eye which Is to be found among the ap-
paratus Of every frst-class newspaper, Is able to
lay before its readers specimens of the official cor
respondence which would take place If General
Hancock should be elected:
Secretary of War William T. Smith forwards to
President Hancock the following dispatch from

The presumption in favor of the Grand he
public, in the matter of the collision with the
Adelaide, which was raised by the testimony
of the Adeade's own engineers, is increased
by the testimony taken yesterday. The wit
nesses included the pilot of one of the ferry
boats and person who saw the collision from
pier, besides the engineer and pilot OF the
Grand Republic The only material variation
in their testimony was upon the point whether
the Adelaide whistled only once in response
to the four whistles from the Grand Republic
or did not whistle at all. The officers of the
former steamer have against them now the
testimony of their own engineers. of both the
engineers and pilot of the other boat, and of
outside parties. 1t will not need much more
to make out case.

No one thing for long time has contributed so
much t. the unearthing of concealed crimes rs the
appointment of Ex-Governor Marshall Jewell to be
Chairman of the Republican National Committee
Attention has been directed heretofore to the sud
denness and extent of the exposures of this mans
unparalleled villany. The friends of Hancock and
Civil Liberty viii rejoice to learn that in
addition to the frauds robberies, hypoc-
risies and treasons already fastened upon
Governor Jewell, steps have been taken
toward tho publication of the facts connected
with the theft of the crown jewels OF Russia in
which Governor Jewell was concerned while Minis
ter at that court. The World newspaper, which has
shown most commendable zeal in ferreting out
and emblazoning the colossal crimes OF this arch
enemy of Hancock and the Habeas Corpus. has ex-
elusive information from Washington that well
known authoress of q work lifo in St.
Petersburg" is about to publish the whole
story. The mysterious manner IN which
this announcement is made a@akens the
lveliest expectations. There is reason to
hope that the "well-known authoress" will
prove by the most indispuablo evidence that the
Governor marched into the bed-chamber of the
Empress with the American flag oyer his shoulder,
demanding in the name Of his country the secret
OF making Russia leather, and that the Empress
compromised with him by the surrender of the gems
with which he escaped to America Hopes are
also entertained that. as these facts are
established, other proceedings, which have been
lately instituted to prove his connection with the
cent mysterious murders in Connecticut, will be far
enough advanced to warrant publication. 1t has
been remarked, however, that the Connecticut
Democratic papers fight shy of these proofs OF his
crimes This fact, so far from shaking the belief of
the friends of Hancock and Civil Liberty in his
guilt, is taken by them rs additional proof of it,
and that he has bribed the Connecticut press to
silence.

There is once IN while glimmer of candOr in
the Democratic press. particularly in the South.
The Louisville COurier-Journdl for instance states
the issue very squarely in the single sentence with
which it closes Of it's snappy paragraphs, The
Republican record is O very nasty one from begin
ming to end" We are quite willing to take mp
that gauntlet and 20 to the people the issue.
The Republican record begins with 1866. 1t in
cudes the defeat of the Democratic attempt to
make slave States of Kansas and Nebraska, the
suppression Of Democratic rebellion, the aboli-
ton of slavery, the Acknowledgement OF the
blacks the preservation of the National credit and
integrity. the granting Of general amnesty. the
restoration and rehabilitation Of the States in
rebellion the defeat Of repudiation tho return to
specie payments. and the overthrow Of the cipher
conspiracy. Against this there is the record of the
Democratic party, in opposition TO everything pro-
posed by Republicans. and without single plat
form two years old that they dare refer to. Its
tcpsy-turviness Is well illustrated in their having
az candidates soldier who fought against them,
and O president of one of the National banks they
want to have abolished. The Republican record
may seem to Democrats "a very nasty one" but
they do not shrink from discussing It and going to
the people on it.

The Democratic party at the North have talked
of Gettysburg great deal since their Convention
and while of course is cruel to revive war issues
it will do the country good to have these memo
ries freshened. 1t is well 10 honor Hancock and
the tens of thousands of brave soldiers who, like
him. did their duty there. These men fought for a
princpe-for National unity. The mon who were
shooting at them fought for principle too-for tho
sovereignty of States against the sovereignty of the
Nation. They did not triumph In the field, but
they assert thcir loyalty to the principle to-
day. and promise 10 regain all that was lost
in battle, and undo all that has since
been done in the National councils
to embody In legislation the results of the war.
This talk about Gettysburg. them may not be un-
profitable after all. though it tears open old
wounds; for 1t may stimulate the Solid North to
consider whether it would be wise just now, or ever
to Surrender all that then and there fought for

Atlanta has had its first negro juror, who
promptly joined in conyicting negro who
was put on trial. The next prisoner was an
other negro, charged with murder, who strenu-
ously objected to having one of his own race
on the jury. There was another such case in
Virginia some time ago, when a colored pris-
ono, made the same objection on he ground
that "niggers would hang niger just to
"ree him kick" Whether this was mere
cell libel, or was a great psychological truth,
the reluctance of blacks to be tried by
mea of their own color remains an indis-
puable fact, and curious one.
