Hancock's nomination is conceded on all
hands to have been one of the shrewdest that
could have been made by his party. His
war record is unimpeachable, while, on The
other hand, he is commended to the affections
of the cx-Confederates by his administration
of the Department of Louisiana and Texas,
wherein he refused to carry out the policy of
the Government and demonstrated his sym
patty with the Democratic whites of that
section, and his hostility to the reconstruc-
tive measures by which the freedmen were
aided to the exercise of their new rights as
citizens, and an effort made to establish the
Republican party in the South. Hancock is
also strong negatively. His life has been
spent in the camp, the field, or the head
quarters. He has no political record, and
hence no assailablc points on the great issues
now before the country. .-Republicm Er-

IT is one Of the amusing features Of the
campaign thus far that every effort to find
something against General Hancock develops
something 10 his credit. The story that lie
said something obseurely terrible during the
eiectoral-connt period only develops the fact
that he had some correspondence with Gen
eral Sherman which he authorizes the latter
TO publish. AS General Sherman has already
paid Hancock the highest possible comnen-
dation, upon the occasion of learning Of his
nomination, it is not likely that he holds
letters of General Hancock's which would
prove his own encomiums gratuitous false
hoods. Then 1t has been alleged that the
famous Order No. 40 and letter to Governor
Pease were written by Judge Black. The
latter cables from London emphatically that
lac knew nothing Of them until he saw them
in print, which settles the silly story. But
the incident moves the Baltimore Sun to
point oat what a genuine compliment II Is
''to General Hancock to say that his style IL
" foreible, incisive, and compact enough to
" be mistaken for that Of the best political
"writer on this continent"

good omen or the Republicans Is the
fact that Mcclure and Forney are both for
Hancock" This is the way the Whining
ton (Del.) Ners is trying to condole with its
friends over the loss of the two most brilliant
and distinguished editors known to American
journalism. Col. Mcclure is Il Republican
in every sense OF the word, but he opposes
now, has opposed, and will continue to op-
pose with all the power of his irresistible pen
the Republicanism of Cameron, Conkling,
Logan, and the machine managers. Col.
Forney always was Democrat, and his alli-
ance with the Republican party lasted only
so long as that party seemed to him to repre-
sent proper views of Government policy. He
it was that called "halt" to his fellow Re
publicans in other days, when the "ma-
chine " insisted upon nominations for Office
not fit to be made. The nomination of Gar
field was not satisfactory to him, as it is not
to thousands of Republicans like him. The
nomination of Gen. Hancock electrified him,
as it did the people everywhere, and he is
now one of the Democracy's right-hand sup
porters.-Redding (Rd.) Ne,cs.

Professor of Military Science.

ATLANTA, GA, July 3, 1880.
To the Editor of The Sunday Herald:
Sir: As your paper has an extended cir
culation among tho retired officers of the Army,
trust you will allow me the eprvllege of making known
to them matter In which some Of their number may
feel an Interest, Tho South Georgia Agricultural and
Military College, located at Thomasville In what
known rs South Georgia, Is n branch Of the State
University, at Athens, and under the patronage of
the same. Twelve months ago this college estab
lised, and yet It recently closed Its first year with
nearly 1870 students The next term opens the 1st of
September and the trustees are anxious to the
detail of retired Army officer Cnnder the law)
as professor Of military science and commaniant Of
cadets. Thomasvlle is most delightful place, not
only having refined and excellent population, Int
being very popular winter resort for cultivated peo
pie of the North and West seeking warmer climate.
1t is especially desirable for consumptlves surrounded
as 1t Is by thrifty pine growth. Any retired Army
ofiicer who desires delightful winter home In good
community, with advantages of schools,
churches, library, and refined society, will do well TO
address Col A. +. Wright president of the board OF
trustees, who Is banker and prominent citizen Of
Thomasville, upon tho subject. Having been In the
service myself, and feeling sure that some retired
offcer would he only too glad of such charming
winter home for himself and family, heartily
mend the place and the Institution favorable con-
sderation. SIDNEY HERBERT.

The Republican, describing a fight at the
Baltimore and Ohio Depot on the morning of
the Fourth, in which the officer who made an
arrest was assaulted, and was followed and
menaced by the crowd, until reinforced by
other policemen, Omits an essential fact 1t
should have been stated that the crowd was
composed of negroes. We know it is the
policy Of radicalism TO obliterate all distinc-
tions of race, and radical organs are adopting
the fashion of emitting the useful descriptive
word " colored or negro" in their news
columns. But IT is no more than fair to the
peaceful, refined, and law-abiding white
population of this city that the violence and
lawlessness of the black lazzaroni, who live
in idleness and crime in our midst, should
be credited where they belong. Such sup
pressions Of the truth as the Republican was
guilty Of in this case are insults to the whole
white race, which has just pride in its an
cestry, and which is undeniably better
race than the black.

AMnncock Republicans view Of H..

As to my support of Gen. Hancock see
fresh evidence daily of the propriety of my
course. have no fears whatever of the pre-
ponderance of "Southern influence" so
loudly bewailed by the Republican papers in
case of his election. His administration will
open an era of concord and good feeling North
and South. The ragged ends of the great
Civil War will be swept away and buried in
oblivion. lie will draw around him class
of statesmen freed from the sickening and
tiresome cry of sectional warfare and all its
bloody shirt remembrances. We shall have
an administration like Washington's, intent
solely upon the grandeur and glory of the
great Republic, knowing no North, no South,
no East, no West. That, think, is a thing
to be desired by all good men, and am truly
your obedient servant.-Ffom Leonard Je-

been lost Pennsylvania would have been pill

That Gen. Hancock has been a soldier and
nothing but a soldier, that he was dedicated
to this life at the very baptismal fount and
has pursued it through his whole lifetime,
may be very properly alleged in proof of his
lack of the political experience which should
be possessed by the President of the Repub-
lie. But we must protest against the use
made of these facts by some of our Republi-
can contemporaries. 1t is no disgrace to
have been educated by the nation at West
Point, nor is an American soldier to be
sneered at as one who "never earned days
bread" Equally absurd and unfair is it to
speak of him as one who has lived of the
nation, as though he had given no fair
equivalent for his pay. 1t is true that some
low Democratic papers have spoken Of the
Army and its officers in this way, and, if
they are worth the powder, it may not be out
OF place to ask them to cat their words. But
such language Is not tit for Republican
mouths. The party has always honored the
Army and recognized It's sterling services,
It has no stones to cast at Gen. Hancock,
either for being soldier OF for the manner
in which he has done a soldiers duty

The controversy between Mr.. Leonard w.
Jerome and the New York Times has taken
another turn, and Mr.. Jerome is on top
for the present. 1t will be remembered that
when that gentleman came out for Hancock,
and said the whole Jerome family We're COM
ing, too. the Times, after abusing him roundly,
printed, at second hand, letter from his
brother Thomas, saying that he for one stood
by the Republican party, and rebuking
Jerome for his ofiiciOusness. Leonard's re-
joinder is manly but regretful one, in
which he pronOunces Thomas's letter n
base humbug, if not an absolute forgery"
Thomas, he says, is over seventy years of
age, and has not been in his right mind for
years, and the letter purpOrtng to be signed
by him is ga wicked and indecent outrage
upon the private and family life" of the
Jeromes. He never wrote n line of it, and
could not understand it if read TO him." 1t

FALSE RADICAL ASSUMPTIONS.

Senator Hoar's phrase that General Han
cock is but the mask of the Democratic party
typifes the tone which the Republicans will
adopt during the political canvass. They
assume in effect that majority Of the white
voters of the country are hostile TO their own
interests. They are really compelled, for
lack of better arguments, TO rest their case
upon this selfeyident falsehood. The South
ern section Of the party, composed almost
wholly OF negroes, may be imposed upon by
such stuff. 1t can hardly have the effect

THE malignant New York Times has been
hard at work whipping General Hancock
over Senator Wallace's shoulders for al
legged completely with the alleged star route
lobby. The idea of duplicating the General
in any business of postal contracts is ludi-
crous, and illustrates the painful strait in
which the radical leaders are placed. The
assault is based upon the report that Senator
Wallace is to be Chairman Of the Democratic
National Committee. But, as Senator Wal
lace r,H not be Chairman Of that Committee,
the Iimes's contOrtions will appear even
more ludicrously absurd next week than
they do now, and that is unnecessary.
