iHanuocs's letter on Rebel Claims.

4 From Chicago Times.
Although it is hardly necessary. his
previous declarations on the subject hav-
ing been sufficiently clear to every intelli-
gent voter, General Hancock has made
no mistake in sharply deDouncing the
cam paign SANDER which asserts that there
lis danger of oehe payment of "rebel war
claims In case q Democratic sdministra-
hon comes into power. General Han
cocks clear and imam biguous statemen.
ON this subj cot. which is published here
with, sdisposes at once and forever of the
by ocritical assertions which even Sena.
tor Conkling and Secretary Sherman have
not hesitated to make. In letter TO q
Citizen of Cincinnati. the Democratic cam
didRse for the presidency declares his IN
aitersble opposition to every form of dis
loyal claims. He says, among other
things: ITO suppose that rebel claims,
or claims in the interest of persons who
wore in the rebellion, can in any way or
in any degree be countenanced, is an inn
putation of disloy atty such as used to be
made against Democrats even when they
were in arms defending the country, "
The rebuke administered in this sentence
to the class of noisy patriots who remained
at home during the war. carefully protects
ing their bodies from harm. and who now
loudly charge some of the bravest leaders
of che nnion armies with disloyalty, is as
keen as it is well deserved. There is a
great deal more of excellent union doctrine
contained ia this very brief letter from
General Hancock; single words in it wilt
silence whole batteries Of campaign Will
fcation. That he is not likely to criDge
before the exponents of the sentiments of
such men as Ben Hill. who demand that
the word rebellion shall never be heard
more, is plain from his declaration-which
could hardly be made more emphatic
that sswilen the rebellion was crushed the
heresy of secession in every form and an
euery incident went down forever. There
is no state supremacy doctrine lurking
anywhere in General Asneeck's letter; it
breathes of Loyalty to the national govern
menr IN every line. go
Ii is significant of the depths of misrep-i
resentation and yiIli6cation TO which our
party politics have descended that such
letter as this should be dem landed OF Cen

Researehea In pai0atin0

An interesting traveller from Palestine
was In in Rome recently. Cavalier Dr..
Renotti, member of various scientific
societies, has lived tWenty-four years in
the Holy Land, and made a large colIec-
ton of ancient objects, which he desires
to sell to the italian government. With
the Bible in his hand he has Travelled all
ever Palestine and confronted the names
of the places and the traditions of the
people with the scriptures. He saws
had no other guides but the Bible,
the history of Josephus and the Pilgrim
age of ST. Jerome" After making the
campaign of 1S4S and 1S49 in Italy. he
went to the East and was appointed mil
itary instructor of the troops of the Pa
sha. He thus had unusual facilities for
travelling in the deserted parts of Pales-
tine, and also for excavating. The re-
suits of the excavations are sarcophapi
Of verd-antique serpentine porphvrY.
and other valuable marbles, richly carved
capitals, coins of gold, silver and ether
metals, arms and armor. He found the
Cave of Macphelah, the grave of Abra-
ham, Isaac and Jacob, and descended
into it. He excavated beneath the ruins
of the Temple of Solomon, and occupied
for a time the ancient city Of Bashan.
He has entire faith in the literal fulfill
ment of the prophecies of the return If
the Jews, and the restoration of Pales-
tine to its ancient fertility.
