The campaign in AfghanIstan is approach
ing crisis. General Roberts with his col
umn of 10000 men has passed through
Ghuzui without encOuntering serious Opposi-
ton, and may be expected at Candahar be-

ing a demonstration from the south to

Ayoob will soon find himself in the presence

has retired in safety from Cabul and estab-
lished his headquarters at Jealabad. Our
London correspondent teleg raphs that the
Tories are censuring the Government for
allowing General Roberts to operate without
base of supplies. The wisdom or folly OF this
movement will be determined by its ultimate
success or failure, but the prospect at present
is favorable. 1t is audaciy which generally
wins in war. and the march of this flying
column is bold coup de main which is likely
to succeed.

The duel arranged between the Mayor of
Norfolk and the Editor of The Landmark has
had farcical termination. Agents were sent
out in advance to mark the boundary be-
tween North Carolina and Virginia, so as to
allow the principals to toe the line and
pepper each other at discretion without being
amenable to the laws of whichever State they
might happen to be arrested in; and so much
time was wasted on these prelininaries that
the Mayor was arrested few yards from his
front gate. There is nothing very serious
about this ridiculous duel except the cause of
war. The Mayor had accused the Editor,
who is a Democrat, Of deliberate falsifca-

WINFIELD SCOTT HANCOCK

few days ago We stated that we should
soon be able to announce the name of the
next President of the United States. The
name came to us yesterday on the wings of
lightning, and we have placed it at the head
of this article. If the bloody shirt is to be
Haunted this fall, we will have the man who
was on the inside of that indispensable gar
ment do the speaking. Garfield turned his
back upon the enemy and entered
Congress while Hancock remained at his post
until the last rebel surrendered himself and
his arms. Several times during the war he
showed his devotion to the country by his
blood and wore the bloody shirt in many ar
duous campaigns. 1t was our candidate who
had the patriotism to announce in orders
that the war was over and that the time had
arrived for the civil government of the States
to become superior to the military rule.
For this patriotic utterance he
was relieved from duty and sent
to another field, but the truth con-
tained in that order could not be suppressed
and now the bold utterer of the sentiment
is called by the people of the country to be
their chief magistrate. There can be no
doubt in regard to the result of the election
in November. The party under the leader
ship of Hancock and English will be success
full, and by the eternal they will be inaugu-
rated. No tampering with election returns
will be allowed. We shall elect Hancock and
English, and hereby extend cordial invita-
ton to every Republican in the country to
attend the inaugural ceremonies on the
4th of March, 1881.

WILLIAM III. ENGLISH.

The Democratic convention acted wisely
yesterday in nominating for the Vice Presi-
dency the Hon. William Fl. English, of In
diana. Though a score of years ago, in the
troublesome times attending the admission
of Kansas to the Union, he was, though a
very young man, conspicuous in our nation
al politics, he has of late taken no prominent
part in active political life, but has devoted
his efforts to business pursuits. Always an
active, consistent Democrat, and man of
bIameless life, he has come to be regarded
as one of the foremost men of his State in
administrative and business matters. His
counsel, matured by long and close atten-
ton to affairs of government, has frequent
ly been asked by those called to care for pub
lie affairs, and has always proved to be ju-
dicious, well considered, and every way
worthy of adoption. In business matters
he has been successful beyond the average,
and has accumulated fortune of very re-
spectacle proportions.
Mr.. English will prove no dead weight to
the ticket. He is man of exalted charac-
ter, has pure record, an abundance of en-
ergy, and is more than capable of acceptably
performing the duties of the office to which
he has been nominated, and fully competent
TO discharge the higher duties to which fate
may call him. 10 compare him to the can
didste on the Republican ticket for the same
office would be an insult to his manhood al
most objectionable.
The personal popularity of Mr.. English
would be sufficient to give him majority in
Indiana, even if that Slate was in the Repub-
lican column. Bnt as it is reliably Demo
cratic State there is no question but the
Democratic majority will foot up among the
tens of thousands. He will receive the
hearty approval of every Democrat in the
land, for it is seldom that the opportunity
is given to vote for SO unexceptionable a
man for the Office of Vice President.

The Racket Successfully Played Upon a
Gullible Country Man.
He was stranger and a wayfaring man, and
they took him in to the tunH of $95 on the
bogus bond racket. There is scarcely any use
to enlarge the story as it is quite as familiar
to the reading public as old song. The con-
fdence game, for such it was, occurred in St.
Paul early yesterday morning, aud, as usual
the victim was gullible old man, whose con-
fiding faith In the honesty of mankind and
the persuasive blarney of the sinister "CUu"
operator in particular, fell an easy prey 60 his
evil and winning wiles.
There arrived on the passenger express over
the Chicago, Milwaukee d st. Paul railroad
yesterday morning an aged gentleman named
w. Dempsey. He was en- route to visit an in
valid son residing in the province of Manitoba.
On the same train which carried him To st.
Paul were two costly attired, good looking and
apparently respectable young men. They
scraped casual acquaintanceship with the old
man and explained that they were residents of
Manitoba and bad been East to purchase goods
A short time after the train had reached st.
Paul, and pending the departure of the west
eru train one of the young meu invited the old
party to take walk. The twain proceeded 40
Bench street and had only walked a short dis
lance when they were joined by the second nis,a

The condition of affairs was explained to the
old man, and one Of the party requested a TEN

departed, promising to meet himat the depot
before train time. OF course they didn't come,
and the old man finally realized that be had
been victimized. He left on the S O'clock trgin

most valuable qualities. Without being too
cautious, he is prudent and conservative.
He is above the average height, with an
erect, well made figure. His head is of good
size, with regular features. The forehead is
high and broad. He is digni6ed and gen.
tlemanly in his manners and has pleasing
address with all persons. His whole con
tour of face and person would at once at
tract favorable mention in any gathering.
Intellect, uprightness of character, self
reliance and zeal are suggested by his ap-
pearance and made known in his deeds. A
man who has gained unqualified success in
every position of his life, it is TO be said of
him that this is the result of an ability which
has been equally beyond question.

If Hancock had surrendered the principles
of constitutional government in 1868, he
might have been the dictator of the South

fused an almost imperial crown and was in
suited by partisan Senate. The liberties OF
the people will be safe in the hands of such
man.
