KENTUCKY keeps up her bad reputation for
blood-letting. Twenty-one years ago n man
named Johnson was shot and killed in a row =.
in which man named Wheeler was con-
cerned. Johnson had son Samuel who
was then four years old. As Samuel grew
people told him the proper thing for him to
do was to avenge his fathers death This
bloody notion was so nstiled into his mind
that for years he has been trying To get a
shot at Wheeler. He tried to kill him sew
eral times, but Wheeler always managed to
escape. Very naturally, Wheeler armed
himself and was on the lookout for the man
who threatened his life. A few days ago
they met and johnson fell dead from shot
from Wheeer's pistol. The avcnger was
killed. Few people will regret the issue

dcrs above all other commanders at that
time in tho appreciation Of his duties as a

cesscs, as well as an example oi voluntary
submission, which entities him to the
highest credit. In n subsequent order,
known as No. 2o3. issued ON December 8,
1867, he defined the proper Use of mill
tary power in such clear and concise terms
that II will always he recognized as the true
application of the principle which marks
the dividing line between law and force tn
der republican institutions:

Tho Commanding Gencral, In the discharge Of the

These maXims are not only sound but
they serve to show what is more important
that this great soldier was as careful in his
studies of the Constitution, and of dutilul
obedience To its obligations, as he was in
those of the profession of which he is to-day
the brightest ornament. No civilian how
ever distinguished, and no statesman how
ever eminent, could have better laid down
the rule of conduct which should govern a
soldier intrusted with civil responsibility, or
have better outlined the principles OF con
stitutional law applicable to it, than Gen.
Hancock has done. Unlike too many who
are content with empty professions, he lived
up to every declaration. His letter to Gen.
Sherman, written in the midst of the coniu-
sion Mt Washington, and when many of those
accounted most wise had lost their heads in
the Presidential complication, may well be
regarded as an extraordinary production.
Compared with the speeches on both sides,
1t exhibits Gen. Hancock as proounler
student of the theory of our Government aud
of its practical working than almost any of
the professional 90 statesmen " who figured

II gets a man like Mr.. Defrees TO write such

effect of free trade upon the working classes.
II would appear that Mr.. Defrees's " "coInmon

Republicans will remember that General
