HANCOCK VISITED.

New York, Nov. 19.-A delegation
of the Hancock Column political Or
ganization, of this city, visited Gen.
Hancock, yesterday, and read to him
an address, in which they said:
"Though the people who love and
honor the whole country have been
defeated, it has not diminished the
sincere devotion and profound re-
spect of the Hancock Column for
him whose advocacy has not been
marked by apos;acy, { 'naticism, Sec
tional hate Or seetarian passion.
We shall II ever, with earnest
affection, watch your destiny,
while all people will hold
you in their keeping as a sentinel ]
the hour of danger. The solid south,
that is mentioned by profane lips in
mockery, by your ministrations is the
possessor of a solid union of love,
liberty and law. We cordially in
vite you to our home, which will
always be warm with welcome, glad
dened and honored by your distin-
guished presence" The address was
signed by Theodore E. Tomlinson,
president; Franklin Edison, vice pres
ident; William Van Wyck, secretary;
John E.. Bagley, treasurer, and by
members of the council. Hancock
replied:
Thanking the delegation for their
visit and promising at some future
time to make formal reply to the
kindly sentiments expressed in their
letter. "You come a day after the
fair" he continued, smiling, ''and I
am restrained by motives of delicacy
which you can all appreciate from
saying more at present"

A HOAX.

RICHMOND, Va, Nov. 1S,-Further
information received al the Rich
mond custom house today tends to
prove that the reported sinking in
Chesapeake bay Of the schooner
VIM. H. Morgan telegraphed here
yesterday, is hoax. The deputy col
lector of customs at Tappahannock
reports to Collector Mills that a man
giving his name as Nelson, represent
ed himself as master of the schooner
VIM. FL. Morgan, of Yorktown, and that
his vessel was wrecked on the 9tIs
inst. by the steamer San Salvador off
Point Lookout; tha the, the deputy
collector, gave him @ wreck report,
but subsequently finding that the
man was using the paper as means
of obtaining money, and believing
him to be an impostor, took the
paper from him and DESTROYED it.
The name of the schooner VIM. II.
Morgan does not appear in the list of
merchant vessels of the United
States for the year ending June 30th,
1880.

THE Democratic Committee as
SubOrners Of Perjury
Philadelphia Times (Ind. dem,)

Philadelphia Times (Ind. dem.)
Since Gen. Garfield denied that
he wrote the Morey letter and Truth
completely failed to make good it's
charge that he wrote it, the whole
subject has been dismissed by most
sensible people as unworthy Of pub
Ic attention. If Gen. Garfield did
not write the letter it matters very
little who did, except that everybody
wishes the prosecution well in it's
attempt to find the forger and his
accomplices and bring them to JUS
tice. The whole affair, however, as
sumes a new phase in the light
of the confessions of Morey
and Lindsey, purchasable and
perjured villains as they are.
These confessions exhibit the at
taches of the democratic national
committee, if not the committee it
self, as suborners of perjury, and if
the crime thus laid at the door of
men to whom great party confded
the management Of a presidential
campaign were proven upon them,
no punishment known to the law
could exceed their deserts. If the
parties now accused are now satis~
red that they have been imposed
upon, that the leoJer WIS a forg-
cry and that the proof of
It's genuineless was the
offspring of perjury, the least
that they can do is to come out in
manly fashion, confess the mistake
t1ey made and do their share toward
bringing the persons really guilty
to justice. The members of the
democratic national committee who
met last night in New York to
seem to realize, in some degree, the
position in which they are placed by
these disclosures; they are not pre-
pared to confess that the letter was
a forgery but it is evident that they

The President Message.

| The Presidents message is of rather unlis0a
length and deals with sti.j ,cis OF tinustiaffin
portance. To us the most interesting portion
is that which treats of civil service reform
| The plai, of promotion by competitive 'exami
nation is one that, after considerable expert
| ence. the President considers a decided sue.
cess. Over 1000 Offices in the New York
Custnm House have been managed on that
| plan and the President advises the appoint
| tnent of a Commission to form a set of rules
| for the extension of this mode of appointment
to most of the subordinate Offices in the gift OF
she government.
The President maintains. and he history of
his own administration gives him right to
complain that the chief hinderauce in the way
Of practical civil Sci vice reform is Congrdss
itself. The determination impudence with
which these Representatives of the people"
have defed the will of the people in this re-
spect is one of the most shameful devs lop-
ments of recenl American history. The Pres
ident very properly proposes the repeal of the
lessl has outlived its usefulness has become a
stumbling block in the way of reform.
On other matters the President speaks frank
ly and sensibly. He denounces Southern in
references with the suffrage: he proposes
severer laws for the suppression of polygamy
and even to take away from Utah those rights
of selfgovernment which have usually been
granted to the people of our territories. We
doubt greatly whether such law would have
the desired effect. Till polygamy can be
beaten at the polls in Utah, we shall have
little hope of its abolition In that benghted re-
gion. ~
In proposing the increase of the silver of the
''buzzard" dollars to point where twill be
as valuable ntrinsically as the gold dollar,
the president is probably much 10 advance of
congressional, and perhaps of popular opin-
ion; but we do hope to see the idiotic process
OF: clogging the currency with an overpIts of
silver coin no one wants, brought to an end.
The recommendation of giving GeB. Grant
the appointment of Captain General. strikes
US favorably. 1t will take him out of politics,
for one thing, and it will be recognition of
services the country can never forget, in an
entirely suitable way. @3tt,-
The message is received with something
more than their usual favor by the Republican
press, and with less than theirqusual. favor by
the Democratic papers. In fact the course
pursued by the Democracy since they came
into power in both Houses of Congress, and
the character OF the presidential campaign,
have been such as to tend strongly to efface
the distinction between Hayes Republican
ism and Straight Republication. II Conk-
ling, Cameron and Logan, control the Garfield
administration, the old division will speedily
reappear; but, at present, Republicans are
nearer uninimity of faith. feeling aud practice
