An Army Comrade on Hancock.

Col. ii. G. Gibson, Third Artillery, writes
as follows from Fort Wadsworth TO Col. Will

wishes of my lifelong friend and honored
commander, and to my impression of its pro-

relations, that | may not be called upon to
take any active or conspicuous part therein,
! need not assure you of my cordial sympa-
thy with and my earnest wishes for the sue
cess of the object of the organization of your
club. II is eminently fit that the veterans
of the Mexican war should rally around the
standard of their distinguished comrade--the
subaltern, namesake, and friend of their
noble leader, the hero of Niagara and of
Mexico; that they should proudly, gladly,
and heartily unite in support of their illus
trious companion-in-arms- - Winfield Scott

in the bold and brilliant campaign of Win
field Scott, and who, in the war for the in
tegrty of the Union, himself became hero
in the strife" superb" at Williamsburg,
Gettysburg, even plucking victory from
impending disaster" out of the nettle,
danger, the flower, SAFETY for an army and
a nation. With the trefoil of his battle-hag
unfurled before him-as inspiring as the
golden lilies of France, born by "our SOW
ereign liege, King Henry of Navarro he
will lead his hosts, with knightly grace and
endeavor, to brilliant victory and glorious
success in the great civic contest now agitat-
ing the nation. Representing by its device
the mighty victor in the game or battle of
life, the war club of our chief will in the
coming struggle deal Its trenchant blows
with yigor and effect, as with " standard
haunting high and flag displayed he re-
sisted and assailed the cohorts of "his
friends-tho enemy"--in Williamsburr's
closing scene and on Gettyshurg's decisive
field. And may il not also fitly be said that,
united with the winning Queen of Hearts,
the single club will win the field or game
against the combined knayes Of every suit
and color, though held and welded by skill

of the holy mystery of the Oracles of God

and honor of the Republic. The symboled
shamrock of the Emerald Isle, il is the gui-
don of hope and promise to the Ireland of
our land, long the victim OF the policy of hate
and distrust, and as the living shamrock
gladdens the earth with its bright and

NEXT NOVEMBER.

Aside from the questions Of administra-
tive policy involved in the election of Presi-
dent there is the question whether the peo-
pie of the country shall govern it, or shall
be governed themselves by an oligarchy of
holders. More than million majority
of the white voters of the Republic east

cratic electors. II was alleged that fair
election was not held in certain Southern
was organized to inquire into and ascertain
what electors had been truly chosen in those
States, the partisan majority refused to i'll
yestigate the facts, and insisted upon ac-
cepting the fraudulent and false returns of
returning boards composed Of infamous per
sons. 1t was thus virtually confessed that
the allegations of fraud against the Southern
Democrats could not be sustained. This
year the same insOlent minority relies upon
its forced assessment Of public officers, in
violation OF its own professions of civil service
reform, and upon the machinery of partisan
supervisors and deputy marshals, to subvert
the will of the majority and keep the reins
Of power for four years longer. The effort
is desperate one, but it is the last struggle
of oyennatohed criminals. Republican in
sttutions will triumph, the principles of
civil liberty will be too strong for deputy
marshals and returning boards, and the peo-
pie will resume their rights by electing Win
field Scott Hancock President of the United
States.

The misfortunes of busir ess men do not
generally crafty right-thinking people, but
when spectators in the staple necessaries of
life overreach themselves the case is differ
ent. Gambling in wheat, pork, and iron is
essentially immoral, and injurious to the
common welfare. Hence we reproduce as
matter for qualification the following from
the New York correspondence of the Boston
Times:
The losses by bankers In the LissbeIger failure in

Lissberger, who is q keen, shrewd Israelite went

by the decline with tremendous amount on hand,
so much so that not only did he use himself up en-
tirely, but the margin between the value of the iron
and the amount advanced thereon disappeared, and
the loss to the bankers, In addition, amounts To fully
a million dollars in Ave six hands. The heaviest
loser Is the Credit Lyonnas, French concern, who
feel that they contemplate Withdrawing from
this market. They opened year ago with great
flourish Of trumpes, having, no doubt, great deal

Yesterdays New York Herald has the fol-
lowing crushing analysis OF Garleld's g de-
tense:
:" In another column we print what ap-
pears to be Gen. Garfield's $ formal and final
defense against the charge of official mis-
conduct in the Credit Mobilier case. 1t is
extracted from forthcoming campaign life
of the candidate, all the details of which
are announced, as obtained by the author
directly from Gen. Garfield himself 1t
will he noted that the statement of the cir
cumstances on the specific point of Gen.
Garfeld's personal dealings with Oakes
Ames is made in the first person, as if the
Generals actual words were written down
for this defense. Much has been said within
a few months past, especially by orators and
organs of the Republican faith, on the un-
happy condition of great party put on the
defensive by the record of its candidate, and
in view of the document referred to Repub-
licans will have new reason TO reflect
deeply on that point and even to consider
that ii party on the defensive is badly
off, party on the defensive without any de.
fense is certainly in a much more lamenta-
BILE position. Gen. Garfield is exceedingly
generous in his statement and vouchsafes an
swers to many questions that are not asked
in this connection. His generosity, indeed, +,
in giving abundant information on points as
to which there was no doubt, ia in proper
tion to the rigid strcness of his delivery on
particulars as to which n freer speech would
have betterlsatstied publiccuriosity. He de-
fines the Credit Mobilier, and the people
already knew just what it was. He gives d
statement of the formation of the ring of
seven persons and a glimpse of how they
operated and kept to themselves the secret
of their game, as If to lay the ground for the
suggestion that this very secrecy guaranteed
the innocence of the persons who received a
part of the spoil. But is it a virtue in a man
not to know that which il is his official duty
to know! Secrecy was part of the game, OF
course, and they paid for it; bribed Con-
| gressmen not to legislate for them, but to
help them along by leaving them alone. Did
Gen. Garfield accept valuable consideration
| for his silence7 That is the point before the
| country, and the answer is not satisfactory.
| He says he had a loan. Evidence enough to
guide the popular judgment on that point
has already been given. In this defense
there is new trait of vacillation. The ac
cused returns to that statement of his case
which he made before the Congressional in
vestigation had proved his completely, yet
holds on to the loan theory, which was a
prevarication due to the fact that the inves-
tiGation had proved his original statement
to be false. But it is not strange if in a case
where every defense made is so poor n man
should not he able to decide which To stand
by for a fnality."

HancOck's liUmanity-Giving UP His
Quarters at lIarrisOn's Landing TINT
wounded Might DO Sheltered.

To The Editor Of the ". \. SIM:
SIR: After the battle of Malvern Hill the
Union Army, you will remember, went to
IIarrison's Landing. 1t would be useless for
me to attempt description of that fearful
night. Hundreds of wounded laid upon that
hard fought field and heard their more fort
unate comrades as they crept away in the
darkness. The night fled, the morning
found our Army of brave fellows at Iarri-
sons Landing; confusion reigned supreme.
Regiments were looking for brigades,
companies for regiments, and hosts of strag
glers, rank and file, for their several com
mands. Following close came the sad pro-
cession of the manned and wounded. Ambu-
lances and army wagons, filled with suffer
ing humanity, poured in one continued
stream down the narrow roads, seeking shell
ter and protection from the cautiously ad-
vancng and eXultant foe. But shelter was
not easy to find. What was but a few hours
before vast eXpanse of ripening grain, was
now shallow sea of mud alive with thous-
ands of broken down, dispirited men. "What
nextr' was the question asked; but who
could answer it
Soldiers become philosophers very easily,
and few circumstances ever prevent them
from taking advantage of every available
object to make themselves comfortable. The
sun dried up the mud, order grew out of
chaos, a city sprung up like magic in few
hours. The past was forgotten. The future
would be solved when it became the present.
Now began the task. The sick and wounded
needed instant care and shelter. With the
exception oi the mansion OF the owner oil

When the name of Gen. Hancock was men-

was Chief of staff of the Army of the Potomac
when Gen. Joe Hooker was its commander.
He is not a politician, but was a supporter of
Gen. Grant in his two campaigns for the
Presidency, and held Office under him during
his first administration. He talked enthusi-
astically of Gen. llancock's ability as an oii-
Ger and a soldier. and spoke highly of him
as n man and a citizen. Then, addressing
himself especially to Senator Conkling, he
said " L shall not only vote for Hancock,
but shall do all ! can toward his election" "

Detroit Nacs, Ond.,) July II; Having
nothing worse to say of Hancock, II would
have been better for Marshall Jewell to have
preserved iudicious silence than to exhibit
the poverty and emptiness of his political
arsenal after this fashion: The United
States educated him TO fight her battles, and
when the war came on his native State did
not secede, therefore he did not. That's
about all there is to say Of Hancock, This
is a species OF argument which is easy of
general application il it be not very telling
in its effect. Thus, of Marshall Jewell His

The newspapers which started concerted

over-hasty busybodies who thought nothing
would do but that the Pennsylvania Senator
should lie chairman of committee of which

some of the reasons which governed the wise
action which the Committee has taken. Mr..
