A Discussion to the Deprecated.

Editor Register:
In YOUR issue OF October lth a worthy
gentleman claims as his reason for an
swering former communication u mine
"The Covert Slur on the Church. AL
low me to correct him by calling his at
tention to the fact that "the church
was far from being the figure head oithe
article, and a slur on the church would
be as foreign to the thought OF any fair
minded reader as it is to the writer.
The church rises superior to any
covert slur or character OF business.
The proof he shows up ia gathered now,
during the excitement oil the campaign,
while that which | assert is the
conversation OF years ago when the
name of DANES A. Garfield was in no
way before the public as candidate for
Office, and contained no political malice;
on the contrary, he is an ahmjrcr OF
Garfield's abilities, is an intimate ac-
quaintance, but defines him as n slip.
pery man. And rs 10 the veracltv d!

throne of God, not only with a con.
science free from guilt of ial ,ehoOl, evil
intentions, wrong doing or misrepresen-
tation, but with the conscious know!'
edge OF being a faithful follower oi orr

HAxCoCE was so gallant and compe-
tent as a soldier that General GRANT
made him Major General when they
were not on cool terms, when his per-
sonal preferences were for ScHoFIELD.
When he was making his journey
around the world, and was free from the
exar;ions of jealousy, ambition and
party, he discussed his fellow soldiers,

THE GRANP-HANCoCK CoRRE'
SPONDENCE.

The correspondence between GRANT
and HANCOCK, when the latter was IN
command at New Orleans, has just been
published, and furnishes the most con-
elusive contradictions Of the GRANT
Fowler roorbaeh.
No one who reads il will lind either
justification or foundation for the asper-
siops cast upon HANCOCK by GRANT,
They will find Gen. HANCOCK maintain
ing simply his clnsisteat regard Tor the
civil law which La; characterized him in
all his public career. He did nothing
arbitrarily OF without authority Of law
and precedent. He removed certain
city officers for contempt q, Lad been
done by his predecessor, Gen. SHERIDAN,
and others. GRANT did not deny his
power to DO what he did il the public
Good demanded it, but differed with
him as 10 the necessities OF the case.
Gen. HAScocS's part OF the cores
pondence is reasonable and dignited,
and was evidently prompted by anearn-
est desire TO act for the best interests OF
the department he commanded. The
whole correspondence shows how un-
inst are the whole spirit and intent, as
well as the falsity OF the statements in
the GR,Sr-FowLER interview.
For example GRANT makes the posi-
tive statement that the dispute which
caused HANCOCK to ask to be relieved
was that in relation to the leyee com
missioners; while the letters show that
il was in regard to the removal oil the
eity officers above referred to, and thar
he was not relieved until some four
after his cebrased order No. 40.

GOOD ENOUGH TO TRADE WITH
BUT NOT TO VOTE WITH.

In a speech before Democratic meet
ing at New York the other night, Hon.
WILLIAM DoRsHEINER made the effective
point that Republican business men at
the North are gully OF grave inconsIs-
tency in denouncing Southern men and
in the same breath solic.ting their trade.
"Apother cause OF our returning pros
peritv," said Mr.. DoRsHEIMER, rs the
increased trade b tween the North ana
South. This is directly due to lie GOOD
feeling and confidence which have grown
up since the Democratic majority came
10 Congress. The Southern people are
now governing themselves and the result
Is an increased production OF Southern
staples, with an increased consumption
OF our manufactures. 1t is interesting
TO turn from the editorial TO the COM
mercial columns OF the great Repub-
lican daily papers. The other day,
after reading an editorial in the Tribune,
in which the disloyalty Of the South
was vigorously denounced, saw on
another page a series OF interviews with
prominent merchants, who were asked
the causes OF the renewal OF business.
This question was asked OF Republican
merchants like Mr.. CLAFLIN, ci Brook
iva. and invariably the answer was,
The Southern demand" The logical
deduction is that if Southern men are
goo enough to do business with they
can hardly lie so bal as Ra iical orators
would have their Northern audiences
| believe.

A BAD BUNGLE.

No important public measures were
ever submitted to the people of the
State under more adverse circumstances
than the two Constitutional Amend
ments voted on Yesterday. Whether
ratified or rejected it can hardly be said
il was done on the merits OF the propo-
sitions.
In the first place they were mixed up
with the excitement, animosities and
confusion OF fiercely contested personal
and political contests; and voted ior ac'
cordirg to the party politics OF the voter,
on the same ticket with the candidates
for office, some of whom were depend
ent on their adoption or rejection for
success in the canvass.
These complex propositions, which
under the best circumstances 1t was dill
iicult for the average voter to compre-
hend, were simply noted on the ticket
by the number and section OF the ar l.
Gle, Of the Constitution 10 which they
brlouged. No other indication of their
purport was given the voter. Unless he
had read aud remembered the articles
and sections to which they belonged, he
could not have any intelligent idea up
on what he ives voting.
Beside this, under each OF the respec-
tive propositions were printed the words
''ior ratification" and "for rejection"
This We believe was printed on all Dem
ocratic tickets, but the Republican tick
cts contained only the words "for rati.
fcat;on, which most of them swallowed
solely at the dictation of their party.
II the Democrat remembered or IN
de,stood that he must erase either the
words "ior rejection" or ''for ratifica-
ton" las ticket would be ineligible
and conld be counted for or against. II
he deposited il Just as it was printed,
without any erssure, it would consti-
tute vote ior both ratification and re-
lection, which could not be counted,
and would not amount to anything il it
was. We do not believe there is any
lawful authority for counting a vote
Of such character for or against
proposition
81 this means very great number OF
votes were lost; a great many voted
without knowing what they were voting

We did not expect to carry Ohio.
We did expect to carry Indiana.
We knew we would carry West Viz
gina.
The Republicans have claimed that
they would cargo bio by an average, II
not an increased majority.
The Republicans also staked their
prospects for the Presidency on carry.
ing Indiana.
The Republicans have also laid claim
to a fighting chance in West Va.' and
there candidate for Governor is reported
as expressing a sincere belief that he
would be elected.
The actual results OF the elections will
show, We think, when the returns are
summed up, that the Democrats have
gained everything claimed ard the Re-
publicsns have lost everything they
claimed,
That is to say, the Republicans have
lost West Virginia; have lost Indiana;
and have failed to carry Ohio by the
average majority. While the Democrats
have won in West Virginia; have won
in Indiana: and have Won all they ex'
pected in Ohio.
Ii will somewhat test the capacity Of
the Republican organs and politicians
We opine, to discount the net result Of
the October elections on the one side
and keep up their game OF bluff aud
show OF courage on the other, until the
melancholy days OF November. But We
don't expect them to quite give up until
they have played the last trick in then
game.
The O:tober contests have been fought
with a vim that cannot be excelied IN
November. We anticipate that the
vote polled in each OF the three States
Yesterday, will very fully represent the
strength OF the contendin2 parties. The
weather was fine, the interest intense
and the stakes were equally or more i'm
portant than those Of the November
election. 1t Was, in fact, the November
election anticipated. and is in very
large degree forecast OF that result.
From every locality in which returns
! have been received up TO this writing
including this city, the vote is reported
as larger than the average OF "ast elec
tons. 1, has surprised the highest ex
pectations.
As to the DRIFT OF the vote, il any one
is disposed 10 interpret it as contradlc
tory OF the claims We make, or as iur
nishing no basis for the confidence We
express in the general results, We vii
not quarrel on that score, but content
ourseli with referring to the full return!

Ir is well to remember that the panic
which ruined so many honest business

the Republicans held absolute posses

The Minister'S "Reminiscences.

: There is nothing, seems to me-" said the
good deacon, I" SO lasting as the impressions
of childhood"
" That is SO, that is So" musingly replied
the aged minister, who had been engaged in
the exciting occupation of looking through the
broken-backed family album 81 recall to nv
mind one incident of my own boyhood. We
had been swimming in the river Just behind
the blacksmith shop, into which we had come
to dress and dry ourselves by the cheerful
blaze of the forge. This smith-a hardy man
how | remember his arms of brown-had
for moment laid down bit of iron which
he was working. The iron had lost its glow
ing color, but was still warm, l think-in
fact, am quite positive. There was one of the
boys who was a very nice boy. He never did
anything wrong. | seem to see him now, as
he used to cut up in school, and unselfshIy
throw the weight of the affair upon COM
panion. The most of US boys went barefooted
then, but this one was an exception, so he sat
down to pull on his stockings. 81 don't
KNOW" continued the aged minister, smiling
softly through his glasses, " don't know to
this day how that bar of iron ever got under
that boy, because moved it only very little
ways, but | hope l may never have another
donation if he didn't sit down so squarely
upon it that it took him fully minute to get
up again, although assure you, my friends,
that he arose with all the precipitate enthusi-
asm that ought of necessity to characterize an
occasion of that nature And l believe with
the deacon" he added, beaming happily upon
the assembly, "that the memory of that early
impression still clings to that boy, though he
now is aged and sedate and an exemplary
member of our parish"
And the people smiled in pleased manner,
and said how funny the minister was, while
the good deacon said "Ah ? and Elm %
and "BTm ~ and tried to look so uncon-
cerned that everybody knew he was the boy.
