GIVE Us THAT LETTEE.-The Republican
journals some time ago manifested q singu-
lar anxiety for the publication oI a letter
written by General Hancock to Gen Sher-
man pending the electoral dispute i'm 1S7G.
General Hancock, with his accustomed frank
ness and manlinesS, gave the letter to the
press after General Sherman consented to
its publication. Since then the Republican
Journals have not been so clameTOuS for the
production OF any more of General Hancock's
letters, But their candidate fOr President
General Garfield, has also been letter wri-
ter in his time. Among his c0rreSpundencc
there is a letter written To the Golden Club
Of England, in Acknowledgement of the hon
or conferred upon him by that society i'm
e!cctng him an honorary member. 1t has
been asserted by certain wicked protection
ISL that General Garfield was thus honuied
10y the Golden Club because he had advO-
Gated free trade principles on the floor of
Congress. This assertion Genera Garfield
has indirectly denied by stating that he was
chosen an honorary member OF the CuSden
CLUB because OF his advocacy of hard mon
ey doctrines. The disputed point can be
easily settled If General Garfield viii give to
the public the letter from the officers of the
Golden Club announcing to him his election
as an honorary member of the society and
MS reply acknowledging and accepting the
election. OF course the Republican Journals
which insisted that General IIancock'S cor
reSpoadcncc with General Si,crinan should
be made public Will join IN the demand that
General GariieldS correspondence with the
officers of the Golden Club be speedily pub
lshed- Whether that cores Spundence reiat-
ed TO the money question it viii be OF inter
est TO voters in the present political canvass

the bloody battles of South Mountain

stump in Ohio after an Office. and who,

TIE JOhnstOwn Tribune has added to
the forged extract at the head of its col
umns from Wade HamptOn's speech at
Staunton, Va, forged letter from +.
Z. BeltzhooveT, Democratic member of
Congress from the Cumberland district,
in this State. Mr.. B. has denounced the
letter in the Philadelphia Times as .'an
infamous forgery" but that makes no
difference at all to the editor of the Tri-
J11e, who began the present campaign by
publishing very stupid forgery in the
shape of a dispatch from ''Jolln, Arch
bishop Of New Y ork, to Gen. HANCOCK.
The Tribune ought 30 place Uat forged
dispatch at the head Of the Hampton
and Beltznooyer forgeries. suppose the
FREEMAN would publish a letter puT-
porting to have been written by the ed
itor of the Tribune relating to Gen. COT
frOth. and suppose the Tribune would
pronounce it ian Infamous forgery, -
and then suppose the FREENAN after
that would insist that the Tribune edit

letter is ''simply silly" and add thereto
that 'thc letter is genuine beyond the
shadow Of a doubt" all of which the
Tribune has said about Mr.. Beltzhoover' 5

the editor Of the Tribune think zof the
conduct of the FREEMAN ? And this is
precisely what the Tribune has done re-

than that and pronounces the denial as

pose o. making very small amount OF
political capital, can prostitute itself to

THE SABBATH AT THE STATE FAIR.
Each Sabbath, as the organist COM
menCeS dancing his fingers over the
keys of his Instrument the usual Sab
bath stiffness at The Permanent EXhibi-
ton is broken by series of discordant
noises. When the organ begins to give
forth its quiet, solacing symphony, the
loud believing of the numerous fair bulls
suddenly open up and put damper on
those who are intently ! stening to the
organ's strains. Then the calves take
up the refrain by giving gentle bawI,
aud the horses neigh response The
poTkeIs Srunt their SalutatiOns, the roOs-
ters indulge in a crow, the hens join in a
cackle, and the doves take to cooing.
The discordant noises gives the organist
10 little mental uneasIness, and makes
the grotesque-lo0king wooden individual
IN the japanese house turn pale with
fright.
