/ DEAR GENERAL did not receive
your most interesting letter of Dec. %
from Carondalet. Mo, till YESTERDAY.
am very glad 10 have your views on the
extension Upon the subject of such
| great importance our standard opinions
are mostly formed on the practice OF ouI
predecessors. but a great change was
made after the close of the civil war by
the amendments of the constitution pro
| yiding TO the free slaves certain civil and
political rights and empowering con
gress to make the laws necessary TO en-.
| force these rights. Congress enacted
laws with which we are not familiar and
revised statutes. As q matter of fact

civil conflicts, but the president has the
lawful right to use the army and navy and
| has exercised the right, as he believes
| lawfully and righffully, and our duty
/ has been, and is, TO sustain him with
zeal and sincerity As TO the presiden-
tial election, VIC are in no manner requir-
ed TO take the least action, but recognize
him as president whom the lawfully APP

son. l hope and pray that congress will

and hour arrives. but in case of failure

there will be vacancy in both the Off

becomes president pro tempore and a

the laws of 1872, (see title Ill, chapter 4,

GEN. HANCOCK'S REPLY.
| HEADQUARTERS MILITARY DIVISION,
OF THE ATLANTIC,
New YORK, January 2, 1877.
| To Gen. W. +. Sherman, U. s. A., Wash
fngt0a, ID. g as
| GENERAL: An anonymous commu-
nlcatiOn to the secretary OF war, dated
Louisville. Kentucky, December 10Th,
1876, reached my headquarters the eth
of that month from the Office of the ad-
jutant general of the army II repre-
| sents that in contemplated uprising of
the people to enforce the Inauguration of
Fiiden and Hendricks, the depot ut
Jacksonville is to be seized, and Is ex-
pected to arm and clOthe the Indiana
army of Democrats. The endorsement
on this communication, made at your
headquarters and dated December 22d.
1876, is as follows:
"Oflicial copy respectfully referred TO
Maj. Gen. w. 5. Hancock, commanding
the division of the Atlantic, who NAV
draw company from Gen. Reirgcr, com
handing dept,of the south. and post 1t
at the Jacksonville depot with orders 10
protect it against any danger. The tone
of the endorsement implies the exercise
OF discretion on my part, which leads
me to write you before taking action.
In my judgment there is no danger of
the kind the anonymous communication
sets forth that there is nothing at
Jacksonville depot TO justify the move
ment of troops TO that place. Such a
movement, il seems 10 me, would
involve unnecessary expense, and
would create or increase the apprehen-
sion for which there is no real founda-
ton. There are no arms or ammunition
atkJ Jacksonville depot, and If such a force
as is referred to could be raised for rebel
lion purposes, it is not likely that il
would begin by seiZinz the depot of
army uniforms. Therefore, If there are
grounds for the action of the govern
ment. see no danger in the delay
which VIII result from this presentation
of the subject to you. If however, in
your better judgment a company should
be sent there it shall be promptly done,
as soon as yOI notify me to thai effect.
As have already said, do not act at
once because in your instructions yOu
say: II may send Il company there"
which cOnStFue as leaving il somewhat
discretionary with me. / returned On
the 31st Of December, 1876, from Sc.
