Miscellaneous Dispatches.

NEW YORK, June 2I--A reporter found
Gen. Hancock On the veranda of his residence
OH Governors Island, SUR ounded by military
friends. He shook the reporter heartily by
the hand, and in response to his congratula-
tons said: "Inuced, l have nothing more to
say at present, as l have not been officially
notified of my nomination. and smilingly
added, "you know it might all be a mistake"
Congralulatoly kilograms from many promi-
nent parties have been received, the following
among others:
81 cordially congratulate you on your NOM
nation. SAMUEL }. TlLDEN.'
New YORK, June 23.-The San in another
article SAYS: Mr.. Weed in all his long life,
filled with greater experience, never spoke
truer words: "Either The democrats must
give up the fraud issue or nominate Tilldep.
and if the democrats don't nominate Tillen.
they 90 rclinqaish the fraud issue.
CINCINNATI, June 33.-Tlr following is
the Chinese plank IL the platform. An
amendment of the Burlinsame treaty: no
moro Chinese immigration except for travel,
education aud foreign commerce, aud these
admitted i'll carefully guarded classes.
NEW YuHK, June 23.-Gcueral Fairrhil!,
United States Minister at Madrid, has been
Instructed by the state Department at Wash

conduct OF Spanish qua beats and rrE3'!Ne

ST. Louis Press on the Nomination.

ST. LOUIS, June 25.-~The Republican to-
morrow, after paying General Hancock a very
high compliment as a man and soldier, will
speak of the ticket as follows =
The ticket is good to run and win. 1t
unites all the clements of popularity, all the
elements of success. 1t has not a flaw III its
armor and the shafts of partisan malice will
find no weak spot to touch. 1t will require
neither a palliation nor defense. 1t is to our
endorsement and commentator that the
democrats at Cincinnati have lone their
work wisely and we'll. The people will do
the rest.
The Times will say The convention at
Cincinnati yesterday did its work promptly
and well. If il had deliberated a week it
could not have made a stronger ticket, an
ADLER one, or more acceptable one to the party
and to the mass of the people. Its action
had the rush of q cyclone and wisdom of an
inspiration. General Hancock's nomination
was in the highest degree spontaneous. He
had no following Of obseQuious personal
partisans. He was surrounded by no coterlc
of trained politicians who have 4 right to
claim any interest in him or his campaign.
He had not literary bureaus disseminating
exaggerated compliments and eulogies. His
campaign was entirely without the agencies
that arc ordinarily considered essential pro-
cesses, and rs a consequence he is without
political complication.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, June Ex-senator Thur
man spoke here tonight. He heartily APP
proves the nomination of Hancock.
SAN Francisco, June 25.-The cal, in
reviewing the manner of IIancock's nomina-
ton, says that it is a worthy one, which will
unite the democrats and rcnderthe canvass on
both sides respectable.
The Alta gives a sketch of Hancock's
career, and closes by saying: "The time has
not yet arrived for throwing mud. At pres
| ent we have no mud on hand, and do not
propose to use any. 1t would be q great
honor to the American name if the present
canvass could be conducted with clean hands
on ali Sides
The Chronicle says the nomination was
one of principle and a brilliant one at that.
NEW York, June 25.-The Times says cpl.
dramatically 1t is a peculiarly CONSTITUTE
ed party which sends rebel brigadiers TO con-
gress because of the rebellion and which
dominates a union general as its candidate
for president of the United States because OF
his loyalty.

the following night, they could yell
and arch their backs and try to get a
pull on all four feet at once, but they
couldn't lift themselves free and their
signing was irightful, aud peoole in
the neighborhood began to chuck
things at them and the owner of the
house forgot about the tar and went
bareiooted and in his robe de mutt

pretty soon he found he couldn't stir

to remain in that posture and he used
very emphatic language. Meanwhile
the boot-iacks were falling in a shower

cut off and left stuck on the roof. and
q great hunk Of tar stuck to each
hand, and got a reprimand when he
reached the station. And the house
owner himself blistered his feet try
ing to melt the tar off of them BY
holding them up to a hot stove, and
when the cats we're cut loose from the
roof and put on the ground; they tried
TO gnaw the tar from their claws. and
got their paws stuck in their mouths
and rolled about and yawled and car
ried on so thai folks thought they
were mad and killed them. And that
househOlder's mother-in law hasn't
yet got over jawing him about that tar
roof.
