RJohn B Schwartz, of Tiffin, Ohio,
in letter dated August Is, says: "The
Hancock and English Club Of Tlffin,
Seneca county, Ohio, numbers $50 vo.
ters, many of whom are young men of
Republican parentage who are about to
cast their first vote. AS this is the home
of Judge Lang, our candidate for Secre
tary of State, we expect to make old
Seneca poll the largest Democratic vote
ever cast"
A. T. Dairymple, of Warren, Pa /,
writes: 'sThe Hancock boom is not dy-
ing out as the Republicans Claim, but is
as bright as at any time since the cam
paign opened. Our meetings are all
largely attended, and quite number of
Republicans have Joined our clubs"
VIM E Hurd. of Syracuse, N. Y, in
letter dated August 20, writes: 1--WE
have just completed our organization Of
the Eighth Ward Republican Hancock
Club. 1t is composed of Republicans
to the number of forty-four, with more
to come. We had pole raising last
Monday and it was complete success.
There were about one thousand five
hundred persons present, and the ban
ner ward of Repubicsnism is being di
vided."
C. NJ. Richards, Secretary of the Han
cock Club at Nanticoke, Pa, in letter
dated August 10, saws: "We organized
a club last night and started with large
membership. Some of those who join
ed have always been Republicans. We
will take largely from the Republicans
this fall. The remaining men who stood
on the field of Gettysburg do not forget
the hero Of that day"

Prominent Republicans Declaring
for Hancock.

GRANVILLE, N. c., August T.-Sev-
eral prominent North Carolina Repub-
licans have announced themselves for
Hancock and English. Among others,
ex United States Senator John Pool, ex-
Supreme Court Judge William B Rod
map and Colonel Daniel R. Goodloe.
These are among the ahlest Republicans
in the Stale. Colonel Goodloe was for
many years editor of the National Re-
publican, published at Washington, and
is writer Of no ordinary ability. He
was an Abolilionist before the war,
though a native North Carolinian, and
although his friends differed from him
on the slave question and. dep'ored his
course on that, subject, they always re
spected him as gentleman, knowing
that he was honest in his convictions.

Gen. Hancock's Irish Toast.

The following is Gen. Hancock's toast
at a reunion of the Irish Brigade in New
York, two years ago:
"The typical Irishman: His home
the world. His friends-all the people.
His faith-his own. No cline to him
so cold as will not produce shamrock;
no soil so barren as will no. grow shil-
lalah. Foremost at the fight, frolic,
or funeral, his generous nature finds a
blow for the bad, smile for the glad,
or q tear for the sad"

Vermon.'s Credit for Troors.

We have received, from what source We
are not aware, printed table purporting to
show the census, representation and popular
vote at the Presidential election Ct 1860, and
the number of troops furnished to the Union
army during the war of the rebellion. The
figures for Vermont are quite inaccurate, un-
derstating by l,S00, the vote for Douglas and
the total vote of the State, and crediting Yer
mont with but %, 2SS soldiers furnished
whereas the State stands credited upon the
books of the War Department with 50, 2l2-
difference of 2,0i6 men. The proportion
of soldiers furnished by the State as compar-
ed with thepopulation is also and of course.
understated, being given as 922 per cent,
whereas it was Is per cent. If the table
is rs incorrect in the figures given for other
States, it is of small value. If the other
States are correctly tabled, Vermont exceed
cd every other New England State in its per
ccntage of troops furnished, the percentage
of the others being: Maine, 900; Massa-
chusetts, zoos; New Hampshire, gI6
Connecticut, HOO Rhode Island 10 -.
When it is remembered that Vermont had
no large towns, and c,nsequcn tly little or no
floating population, from which so many en-
listments were made-to be followed by Il
large proportion of assertions, that ler
population had been kept stationary by the
emigration of her able-bodied sons. thOus-

the present system of submarine cables,
which are to be applied by the new Ameri-
can Gable Company, which proposes to lay
some G, 900 miles of cable, connecting New
York city directly with several European
companies. The new apparatus consists of
a submarine repeater in the form of a bronze
globe, six inches in diameter, to be submerg-
cd in mid-ocean and Theoretically sealed.
Inside of it is a simple mechanism which
performs the functions of an office and two
operators. By the use of this instrument
the cable may be divided in the centre in
two circuits, and thereby working speed be
had, according to established electrical law,
four times greater than on circuit of cable
of 1000 miles.i

fallen into such an error Tie proceedings
over which hc preSi,.cS constantly refutc the
assertion.
In the Fourteenth Amendment stand these
words Neither the United States nor any
state shall assume or pay any deb, or obliga-
tiun incurred IN all OF instruction or rebel
lion against the United States, or any claim
for the loss or emancipation Of any slave :;
but all sGch debts, obligations and claims

which stand in staggering totals in bills al

ton Of The constitution.
For example, it is insisted that the direct
tax imposed 10y the Nation IN all States in
1861 should rs 10 the seeded States be re-
funded. The amount claimed is -. i92. 10,
Again, ii is said the war tax laid on cotton
should be- refunded. The argument is that
cotton, like wheat and corn, is a product of
the earth, and wheat and corn were not tax
ed, and therefore cotton should not have
been taxed. There is plausibiliy in this
but petroleum Is 4 product Of the earth also,

gether unexpected, as it has been known
that a serious difference of opinion existed
in the ministry as to the enforcement Of
the decree against the religious bodit.
The premier, VI. Freycinet, held that while
it dissolved the order of the Jesuits, it did
not so apply to all the other religious organi-

expel the Jesuits and other similar organiza-
ton from France. If any body can suppress
