Gea. Grant at the Reuaisn OF the xI.t
Regiment.

Decatur, Oct. 6.-Gen. Grants old
regiment, the 2lst Illinois, had its re-
union here to-day, and it was a great
success. Thirty thousand soldiers were
present Gen. Grant arrived late in
the afternoon with Gen. Logan and
was met by Gov. oglesby. In the
evening at the business meeting Gen.
Grant said, after expressing his gratifi-
cation at meeting the first command he
had during the war:
suppose more Of them are living
than are now here but scattered over
our distant territories and develop
ing the country which up 10 our late
trouble was not occupied by the white
man. have had occasion before to
remark in travelling all over the world,
that wars, while SO much to be de-
plored, are not altogether mixed evils.
There is no place where l haye been
that have not found our volunteer, no
country in Europe, none in Asia, none
In Africa, where have been that
have not met some Of our volunteers In
the late war. Men who but for the
change Of life from their quiet homes to
the field would probably have never
thought Of going beyond the places
where they were brought up. But four
years separation from their homes has
enlarged their ideas, and some have
gone forth TO Introduce American COM
merce into all distant countries, others
10 our new territories In their restless
ness, In their fields, on their farms, in
their stores, and are developing our
great territories and preparing them TO
become states in this union. How much
the 2lst Illinois has contributed TO this
l am not aware, but / will warrant
that some Of them are living in their new
states and territories. Gentlemen, l
am glad TO see SO many Of you, and l
hope in the course OF the evening we
will be able TO hear the experience OF
some Of you.
Speeches followed from Gen. Logan,
ex-Gov. Oglesby and others.

GEN. HANCOCK.


New York, Oct. GA Telegram re-
porter to-day interviewed Gen. Han
cock in reference TO the recent opinions
expressed by Gen. Grant. He said:
my knowledge of what Gen. Grant
has actually said is confined TO what
may be called hearsay evidence. have
read what has been attributed to him
rs his utteranees in the newspapers.
Now, / shall take pains to ascertain
from authoritative source just what
Gen. Grant said about me-"
"Will you apply to him personally
Tor information?''
That would be the best course to
pursue, | suppose. / mean TO get at
the truth"
''lf you find that the ex president has
really made assertions derogatory to
your character, will you make u replyY"
"Yes, If necessary"
"rhen / am TO understand il Gen.
Grant has assailed your character. as
he is reported TO have done, you will
make general denial"
~ viii certainly deny everything un-
true. After l have sifted the matter
to the bottom and decided to reply,
will prepare a careful and comprehen-
sive statement for publication.
.'IIow long will be required for you
to hear personally from Gen. Grant in
this matterl"
81 cannot say; but will lose no
more time than can help in getting at
the bottom Of the matter"
What reason have you for doubling
Gen. Grant attacked your character"
sin the first place he lacked good
grounds upon which to attack, and In
the second place, he Is an old soldier and
a graduate Of West Point, and as such,
he could not. it seems to me, so far
oyerstep the bounds Of truth and gen.
tlemanly propriety as. TO attempt to in
jure me even in a private conversation. {"
Hancock wound up his interview
with the Telegram reporter to-day, as
follows:
Reporteer-''Cannot you authorize
me to make formal reply TO Grant on
your behalf. today"
mo, sir; as have already told you,
| must know just what kind of reply is
needed before make any statement in
detail. 1t would be unjust both to
Grant and myself for me to come be-
fore the public with formal proclama-
tion at this moment"
But, general, do you not think de-
lays are dangerous?"
mot always. There is proper time
and proper moment in which to do q
thing. II find that Grant has wrong
fully assailed me, the public will not be
long kept in ignorance Of my side of
the question; but shall not make un-
due haste in the matter. This is all l
have to say at present"
By this time the boat had reached the
landing on the New York side, and the
interview ended.

A Subsidy smuGgied Through Con-
grcss I'm the Postal Biii.
Chicago, Oct. Ga Washington dis
patch to the Inter Ocean says: Profound
sensation was created In the postoflice
department to-day by the discovery
that good sized subsidy to the Pacific
Mail steamship company has been
smuggled through congress unnoticed,
under cover Of proviso in the post
Office appropriation bill. 1t will be re-
membered that last winter Davis, of
California, was anxious to have provi-
sion made by which certain portion
OF the price paid the United States
for the trans-continental portion of the
mail, be refunded to the colonies of
New Zealand and New South Wales.
The postoffice officials supposed the
matter had been killed till the printed
law was received to-day, one section of
which says:
"For which transportation of for
eign mails s225,OOO is appropriated; !;
provided the postmaster general be au-
thorized to remit in favor of the colo
nies Of New Zealand and New South
Wales, SO much Of the cost of the over

does not know Of the novel duty i'm
posed upon him, and there was no way
Of learning what he thought of it. 1t

the other officials that they did not like
to venture an opinion on the matter.

eral such powers, 1t will be noticed,
that he may turn the whole Of the
amount received for the overland SER
vice into the Golfers Of the Pacific Mail
company, II he deems just.

1t could be arranged by saying to Eng.

Note ON Surrender


London, Oct. 6.-The Ns,cs says:

My Dear Colonel-I received to-day
your favor Of the 25th, and was much
interested in your resume Of the work

still, that until the democratic party

vance other candidates OF their availa-
bility for the future, was a question of
Importance or interest. / have no part
in any programme looking to the fu-
ture. My name comes up through
friends and foes possibly; yet / know
Of no maecinery In the interest Of my
nomination; seem in public opinion to
be put forth as an exponent OF certain
political available possibilities, and
would be better pleased IL allowed to
pursue the even tenor Of my way, un-
touched by political excitement. / do
not wish TO be considered a chronic
candidate, for know what that means
when the end comes; SO my friends had
better let matters rest, or II not. let 1t
drift. The next election is to be n mo-
mentous one, what may come out OF it,
good or bad, do not know; but / am
certain that cannot assist in leading
to a good result more certainly than by
following the quiet course l have al
ways endeavored to pursue. II come

Crime comes and sometimes may strike
very close to any one of us. 1t is, above
all, necessary that punishment also
should be made swift and sure. This re-
suit is reached by the careful and scien-
tiiic study OF evidence, especially on its
circumstantial side. Upon n wide view
of the history of crime in this world, it
may be safely said that punishment,
though slow is sure, and of justice, what
the old Greeks said of God, that he comes
with leaden feet, but strikes with an iron
hand
1t happens very curiously that just at
present English law circles are greatly
exercised over pamphlet discussion be-
tween Lord Chief Justice Cockburn and
Mr. Taylor, author of a standard trea-
tise on the law OF evidence, upon n novel
decision of his lordship, by which, in a
late murder trial in London, bit of cir

grounds that attack all legal precedents.
His lordship, who is known to have both
the ordinary virtues and vices of a beef
