Gen. Hancock Defines His Position on
Southern Claims.

New YORK, September 24.-Gen. Hancock,
responding to Theodore Cook, of Cincinnati,
who had written to him concerning The Gen.
erals attitude on the question of Southern
claim5, replies as follows, under date of the
23d:
Your letter of the Goth instant has been
received, 1 regret that you are disturbed
about that bug bear, Southern war claims
The people can not be misled by it to suppose
that t'rebel olaims" or claims in the interest
Of persons wheiWero in. the rebellion can in
any way Of "a ahNaegres be. oountenanoed.
Tits an imputalior of aiss66y atty such as used
to be made against Democrats eveilgwheaLhsy
were in arms defending thecountry. So far
as touches me, dehounce1s f'he govern
ment can never pay debt or grant q pension
or reward Of any sort for waging war upon
its existence, nor could 1 lie induced to ap-
prove or encourage the payment of such a
debt, penfon or reward. Nobody expects or
wants such unnatural action. To propose il
would be al insult to the intelligencG ana
honor Of our people. When the rebellion was
crushed the heresy of seccssionb in every
form and in every incident went down for
ever. 1t is thing of the dead past. We
move forward, not backward.AA, If l were
Rrts!dcnt would veto all legislation whiOll
might come before mo providing fef the Non-
sideration or payment of claims of any Kind
for losses or damages by persons who were
in the rebellion, whether pardoned or not. In
relation TO Union war claims the govern
ment's obligations to its defenders come first.
They are lnsting and saorod The public
laws Of civilized nations do not in general
recognize claims for injury toYproperty Sre>
sulting from operations of war, nevertheless
our government has treated with great in
dulgence the claims for losses and damages
suffered by the Union men from the miltary
operation Of the war of The Union. But as
hostilities were closed more than fifteen years
ago. claims of that nature are now mostly in
the hands of brokers, or persons other than
the original sufferers, are becoming stale, and
an my Judgment, might fairly be considered
as barred by thelaps Of time. and if hereafter
entertained at all, should be subjected to the
strictest scrutiny. Yours very truly,

a BAD sINJuN.'A Radical trickster has
been passing among the colored people in
this county in the disguise of an Indian
preacher. He breaches pretended religious
doctrine in the day tine and at night he
holds secret political meetings, and uses
every means to cause the colored people to
hate the white man. Said he was an Indian
and hated them HIMSELF He held forth in
the school house, near Mr. shuler's, in the

COL. DAN. RICE,
The Great RefOrmer With Us
Again.

Col. Dan. Rice, ex-humorist, and
one Of the best travelled and best in
formed men of the present generation,
arrived in the city last evening after a
lecturing tour southwark. The col
onel is in excellent health and genial
spirits, but exhausted from oyer-work
in his great reform movement. He
needs rest and will tarry with us few
days to recuperate his faculties, after
which we may expect to hear one of
his efforts, all of which are highly ex-
tOlled, where ever he has so far been.
Evening before last Col. Rice delivered
a lecture at Holly Springs, Miss. before
very large and a brilliant assemblage
ofladies and gentlemen, at the Mason
ic hall, in that city, for the benefit of
the confederate memorial association.
He was introduced to the gathering
by Col. +. A. Tyler, formerly of this
city, and Judge Watson, of Holly
Springs, and a most cordial reception
was accorded to the distinguished
reformer. The following is an eloquent
extract, from the opening portion of
his speech;
Flowers, heavens choicest gift,are
to be distributed early in May over
the graves Of the fallen heroes to keep
in sweet memory the humblest soldier
as we'll as the most exalted in position.
1t is the Aower-day on which the liv-
ing will pay homage to their dead who
sleep in nearly every state in the union
but the majority rest in the hallowed
soil Of the south, where their heroic
deeds will be kept green in every
heart, and each generation yet to come
will feel proud to be the descendants
ola race of men who fought for hon
or, as our forefathers fought-that
gave us sliberty-and as years roll on,
the memory Of glorious deeds grows
softer and sweeter, as time robs them
of all the fierce antagonism that gave
them birth, then let each one contrib
ute some emblem or boquet; even a
simple flower, like the widows mite,
will be a sacred gift"

were a suppOsible case, this note

contained in the above extract is, how
ever, a misrepresentation which does

We are further assured that the

Colonel G. johnson, better known

member OF one of the largest import
ing firms in the United States, and,
in addition to the liberal views
which he entertains, is accred-
ited with being one of the
most reliable men in the whole coun-
try. His conversation bore princi-
pally upon the late exodus from Phil
lips county and its incidents. He was
in New York when the refugees ar
rived there, and hearing the many
cock and bull stories concerning their
treatment in Arkansas, he took the
pains to visit them at their quar-
ters to ascertain the facts of the
case, and Of rendering them assistance
if necessary. He approached the sub
iect by asking them who they knew in
Helena, and thereby satisfied himself
that they we're from Phillips county
He soon satisfied himself that they
were possessed Of ample means to sup
ply their wants, and that there were
no marks or evidences Of violence
upon them. Cole johnson took this
precautionary step, not that he be-

negroes if they needed it, and Of doing
justice to the people of Phillips couu.
