THE CHANCES FOR HANCOCK.
[Atlantic Monthly for May.l


Gen. Hancock would probably have
the best chance, because he has no enc
mics among the politicians, and be-
cause the motives leading to the setting
aside of TiItlen would be likely to in
cline tho convention toward a military
man. Besides, the South has cordial
liking for Hancock on account OF his
friendly expressions and conduct while
he was in command mt New Orleans.
His prominence AS n candidate arises
from the fact that he is the only Demo-
crat in high position in the army.
If the Democrats want n soldier con-
spicuously identified with the suppress
sion of the rebellion to run against
Gen. Grant they are limited to Han
cock. His war record is as glorious as
that of any corpse commander, and
there is a conservatism and solidity
about his character which would in.
spirc confidence among people who
look with distrust upon the ordinary
Democratic politicians. IF nominated
he would prove a very formidable can
didate. The Republicans are more
afraid of him than any other man upoT
tho Democratic slate.

GLADSTONE AND THE QUEEN.
[LOndou world.l

Tho object Of tho Prince OF Wales in
calling on Mr.. Gladstone was to assure
him that lie had no sympathy with tho
hostility to the right honorable gen
tleinan which exists, or is supposed TO
exist, in the highest quarter. The
Prince told the Premier that in the
political struggles OF the country the
position OF the court should he ono of
strict neutrality, and that il should
never assume. an unfrirndIy attitude
TO any statcsnnn. The heir apparent is
n wise man i'm his day. Perfect smooth
ness did not charactcrizc tho prclinl-
naries to the request that Mr.. Glad
stone would visit Windsor Castle.
When, in obedience TO the summons
suggested by Lord BeaconsticId, Lord
Harrington went down on Thursday,
i,a found the Queen the rcvcrsc Of com
plaisant to his firm assurance that MIR.
Gladstone must iiayo tho offer to con-
struct u Liberal Cabinet; and the ut
most tho royal rcstivcncss would then
cOncctle was that he should submit tho
Queens feelings TO Lord Granville
This afforded Lord harrington the OPP
portunity to strengthen his representa-
tions by tho personal support of that
nOblcman, who accordingly went Will
him to tho Queen on Friday morning.
The inevitable then was finally made
apparent, tho instincts of constitution
alisnl prevailed, and Mr.. Gladstone
was summoned. Mr.. Gladstone, I he
Iieve, takes Office right in the teeth oi
his medical advisers, who arc
concerned as to the consequences o
that continual brain excitement which
Mr. Gladatone's sing,,larly nervous lem
permanent 80 dangerously stimulates.
His mcrcurial high spirits since h's
return TO town have seemed at times
verging on the spasmo'lir.

THE SOUTHERN PACIFIC.
It's Continuation to the <:a,f Assured.
tsnn Antonio Expressly

tSnn Antonio Expreas.1
Mr.. J. W. Thompson, Just from Napa,
CAL, Is again visiting lis to look after
his sheep and other interests In this
and Frto county. Mr.. Thompson has
had considerable experience, both In
California and West TexNs I'm the sheep
business, and considers this country
superior to California. This is princi-
pally because OF the continuous nature
Of the grasses here, whereas In Cali
fornia tho grass grows from the seed
and is at certain seasons insufilcient for
the wants of stock.
Mr.. Thompson says that immedt-
ately before leaving California he WIS.,
tied A. N. Towne, the general superin-
tcndent of the Southern Pacific road,
ut his Office in San Francisco, and he
ing interested In the progress of the
Pacific toward San Antonio,
he questioned Mr.. Towne as to what
his company proposed doing. While
Yowne would not commit himself, rs
1t Is tho policy of the officers of his
road to be rs reticent as possible, he
nevertheless said the road would be
pushed ON without delay, and LEFT the
impression that the limo now being
surveyed by Mr.. Hood and corps would
be followed. The intention of the
Southern Pacific Company was to strike
the gulf at some point by running
through Texas. ufga - d, l-- ~
Mr.. Thompson does not seem to
doubt but that the Southern Pacific Is
to be built through without delay. 1t
Is now about $50 miles from El p aso,
aud moving onward rapidly. In the
event Of the completion of the South
ern Pacific AMI Texas Pacific to FL
Faso, Mr.. Thompson thinks that 1t
will bc tho Omaha of tho Southwest,
or tho great ratliating point, IA Omaha
is the diverging point Of the great
Northwest. lie thinks that tho time
Is rapidly approaching when lines Of
road will run from FL Iaso into Mex
leo, and to Guyamas, on the coast OF
the Gulf of California. This point Is,
indeed, only about the same distance
from FL Paso that Tucson, New Mex
leo, is, or 1856 miles. 1t is now reached
In six days from Et Pnso by stNgc.
Tho connection Of San Francisco with
the gulf at New Orleans will also
shorten the distance to tide water from
San Francisco to this side of tho conti-
nent fully 1000 miles. Mr.. Thompson
regards the enterprise rs q grand one,
and thinks that its contamination, and
the opening up of u vast, new, rich
and diversified country to immigration,
will bc followed by grand consequences.

es of the Gladstone act gave the ten
provements in case Of an eviction /;
but the remedy is made imperative
by special leases or by quirks of law
or expensive litigation, excepting
where the priest comes to the rescue of
his parishiOneer and calls in the aid of
the Land League. Besides, no law
prevents the landlord from arbitrarily
raising the rent just as often as he
pleases, and this fact absolutely parnl-
yses ambition aud makes thrift of no
avail. A tenant who works hard soon
finds that he is only working for his
landlord, and whether he raises little
or much, no more will he allowed
him than barely enough to keep his
family alive.
After having witnessed so many
scenes of misery, L am astounded at
the wrcckless audacity of some Amer
report that these wretched farmers
got into debt by indulging in such
luxurics as Hennessey's brandy, and
| that empty brandy bottles could be
seen in almost any cabin. 1t may be
true that these empty bottles are soine-
times seen In Irish cabins / never
saw a single instance of 1t; but it is al
SO truo that these bottles are never re-
sold to the wholesale merchants; that
they are of no commercial value what
ever, and therefore, that they are Civ
en- away and used for holding milk
when the cottagers happen to have a
COW.
1t has also been represented that
most of the legal persecution of the
small farmers were not tho acts of the
great proprietors or their agents, but
of the shopkeepers. This is a conspic-
! uOus Misrepresentation. If tenant
fails to pay his rent for a year, even al
though the sum owed is u small one,
the dread power of the process of eject
ment is called on to help the landlord
The money-lenders charge 20 per cent.
interest on small sums for short Pc
RODS but this is small tribute that
the farmers pay in their time of need,
as compared to what tho landlords ex-
act at all times. Lord Sligo in 1875
raised his rents from $4,000 to $22,-
600 a year. He has persistently re-
fused to grant any abatement up to the
present hour, although the majority Of
his tenants are kept from starvation
by the bounty of foreign nations. And
yet he is not the worst landlord in
Ireland by any means.
These money lenders arc applied to
in the majority of instances to obtain
the money to pay the landlord. If the
ilop-keepers had been as mercilcss us
the landlords there would hardly he a
COW or calf or ass or pig in all the West
| of ireland to-day.

LOTTERY DILEMMA.

charter of that monopoly was abrO-

/ When the Constitutional Convention,
therefore, declared, in Art. 1G7, that
"the charter of said company Is rccog-
nizcd as a contract binding on the
State, it recognized corpse. "The
said company" had no charter. An
outraged sovereign had stamped out
its existence.
But suppose it did exist Mt the time
of the passage Of article 167, the con-

Ex.aOvERNOR HENRY 3. FOorE.
lNew Orleans Domocrat.l


Ex-Gov. Henry s. Foote, supcrin-
tendent of the Mint in this city, died
at his home near Nashville, Mt o'clock
yesterday, Of cancer of tho scalp, from
which disease he had been suffering for
some time. Gov. Foote'S condition
was known to bc critical, and it was
certain, for some weeks previous to
his death, that there was no hope OF
his recovery. ..-...
During his long career of seventy
nine years there have becn few men
who have occupied the public attcn-
ton moro than he. A native of Fau-
quier county, Va, no removed, when
q young man, to Tuscumbia. Ala,
where he began the practice OF law,
and at the same time commenced his
political career by publishing Demo-
cratic newspaper. lie left Alabama
two years after and took up his resi-
dence at Jackson, Miss. In 1SA7 he
was elected to tho United States Sen.
ate, In which body he played quite an
important part, being chairman of tho
Committee on Foreign Relations. In
1850, when tho compromise measures
came up before the people of this coun-
try, ex-Gov. Footc was their ardent
supporter In Mississippi. On that Is
sue he became n candidate for Cover
| sSOAl sStS VRIsttttshS kS'tuS HV tSfS - ft6t-
sOnaGe than Jefferson Davis. This
gubernatorial contest was one of the
hottest over waged in Mississippi, and
Foote was elected. At the end of tho
term he left the State and took up his
residence in California, wherc hc re-
mained four years, returning to Mis-.
sissippi in 1865 ana taking up his resi-
dence in Vicksburg. In 1859 hc was n
member of the convention of rcprcsen-
tatives of tho Southern States held in
Knoxville, where he made himself tho
special champion of tho Union and
bitterly opposed all ideas of secession.
When tho war began, however, eN-
Ex-Gov. Foote sided with tho South,
and was elected to the Confederate Q
Congress from Tennessee. In Con.
hostile to his old enemy, Jefferson
Davis, steadily opposed tho Confctler-
ato administration and did ait in his
power to vex ana annoy 1t.
, AT the close of tho war he resumed
the practice of law. Although he
joined tho Republican party soon after
he held no Office, living in comparative
l retirement until Hayes appointed hin
superintendent of our Mint, two year.

The ex-Govcrnor was always an earn
est believer in the code of honor, and
figured In several very dramatic duels
in two ofwhich he was slightly wound
