Jackson was tall and erect. His
body was spare, but powerful, and ex-
ceedingly enduring of labor. His ap,
pearance was noble, his gait full of
majesty. The outlines of his face were
large, his eyes cerulean, sparkling and
acute. His nose was long, his eyelids
prominent and jaundiced, and his COM
plexion was that of a veteran soldier.
He reverenced justice and rectitude
from an innate love of equity. By his
pleasant manner he rendered himself
atfable to all who desired to come to
him. Although he was irritable from
nature, yet he was obliging to his
friends, generous to his servants, hos,
pitable to strangers, humane to his sol
diers, liberal to the poor, and kind tc

The fame and name of this New
Aurelian hero will live while the father

Pennsylvania Republicans Burning Gen,

A despatch from SINNERS Eddy, Oct. 81
saysi--0n Friday night, 18th inst, Repub.
lican mob, while celebrating the result Of the
Indiana election, pabliely burned in eiiigy
Gen. Hancock, in the streets Of Laceyyille,
Wyoming County, Pa. This outrage was per,
petrated Immediately in front OF the premises
Of b. w. Edwaids. Edwards at the time OIL
this occurrence was candidate on the Re
publican ticket for State Senator. The dis.
trict is composed of the counties Of Bradford
and Wyoming. He has since withdrawn,
leaving the field open TO the Hon. W. 7.
Davies, the present incumbent.
The act above mentioned, il is but fair to
say, was condemned by many leading Repub.
licans Of the vicinity, though no effort was
made to prevent It during the time Of its oc
eurrence. | am crsdibly informed thate local
Justice Of the Peace gave fuel to the flames
by pouring kerosene upon the burning eiigy.
This daslardly performance has excited much
lively indignation among the Democrats OF
the district (which by the way, is strongly Re.
publicanl; but il was jeeringly gloried Ia by
the mob, and openly boasted Of aiterward.
Il seems worth while to make note Of such
an outrage done on the soil Of Pennsylvania

As to the cry that the Democratic party

power FIVE years and has not impaired or
ruined any industry. The tariff ought not to

Il Garfield be the innocent, unsophisli-
cated, unsuspoeting man that he aud his
apologists claim that he is, he should be
retired from the canvass for the sake Of
his reputation.
He received $500 and didn'tknow that
Il was dividend from Credit MObilier
Stock, after the principal had been paid
he thought it was loan. He took 1000
as a fee from De GOlyer, aud didn't know
it was bride, though when he came to
think over the mntter be didn't recollecl
that he had ever fled brief for De Golyer
4 Co. He took $4,000 back pay, but
didn't know it was a steal until the Re
publicans Of his district so characterized
It, then he returned It to the treasury.
He went to Louisiana, and there helped
10 manipulate election returns in an inner
room Of the Custom House, but was en-
tirely ignorant Of any wrong being perpe-
trated in the Louisiana returns. He OPP
posed the Electoral Commission bill, be-
cause it would open an investigation Of
State election returns, but after the bill
had been passed he took his seat on the
commission, aud, forgetting his previous
judgment, voted every time that State re-
turns could not be inquired into. He
went to Chicago to work for Sherman, and
worked sor himself, under misapprehen-
sion Of his position. He accepted a mem
bership Of the Golden Free Trade Club,
but was not aware until after his nomina-
ton for President that il was a free trade
organization. He wrote letter in favor
Of Chinese labor and in favor Of main
tanning our treaty with China, but he for
got it, and now denies the authenticity OF
the letter, since il is not likely to help his
cause. Yes, Garfield is ali unsuspeeting,
unsophisticated and innocent man, and he
should be retired. If he should be elected
President, ia his simplicity he might be
drawn into oil sorts Of jobs and contracts;
and, believing all men are without guile,
like himself, might appoint bad men to
Office without knowing it. Like one of
his predecessors, he might appoint persons
to Office for a certain percentage of the
fees and salaries, and consider such fees
and salaries "a loan" He is too good
mau for Ofice--too innocent and childlike.

A Difference of Opinion.

Federal soldiers generally have high
regard for General Grant, but in regard
to the South the great soldier differs with
the little generals, colonies, captains, cor
porals, army suffers and hangerson, who
did but little fighting aud seized the first
opportunity to get out Of the army and run
for Office, where there was greater securi-
ty, and who always shirked duty when a
battle, or even a skirmish, was imminent
To them the South is disloynI still, though
not ono in thousand has been there to
see since the surrender. Gen, Grant, who
made an extended tour of that section tho
past spring, had this to say on his return !;
"We have no reason to doubt that those
who wore the gray will fulfill all they have
promised in loyalty to the flag and the nation.
Good order, security, good feeling and reviv-
ing prosperity are evidenced on all sides. y
