way, is Boston.
TURN to your file of Harper's Weekly for
1873. There is a double-page cartoon in
the issue of March Is, of that year. Mast
has Garfield and other Credit MObilier
STATESMEN arranged under a placard
reading as follows: "Disgraced in the
eye of the public for owning Credit Mo-
bilier stock, which was in fact and intent
fraud upon the government. Also for
deceit and evasion
SENATOR ELI SALISBURY says: 1.-The
letter just published, written to General
Sherman in 1876, l regard as most con-
elusive evidence that Hancock is states
man of very superior sort, and it will
have an astonishing affect upon the country
1t cuts away the radical pretense that Han
cocks mere soldier unacquainted withthe
spirit of the constitution and the spirit of
liberty governing this country. The cir
cumstances surrounding its preparation
and the manner of its publication are cal
culated to impress upon every mind the
force of character and dignity of Hancock S
nature"
GLNERAL JAMES B. WEAVER, presiden-
tial nominee of the Greenback-L Labor party,
has issued circular to the members of
that party appealing for contributions OF
one dollar and upward to aid in defraying
the expenses of the campaign from now
until November. This appeal comes at a
bad time contemporaneouSly with the
Alabama disclosures that Weaver is draw
ing pay from the national Republican
committee, that the national Greenback
executive committee is in communication
with the national Republican executive
committee, and the too committees aoM meet
in secret session in Chicago on August 9.
However Greenback orators have been in
the hire of Republican politicians before
now-in the Pennsylvania campaign of
1878 for instance.
REGARDING the Sherman letters which
called out Hancock's reply, General Sher-
man says he is not disposed to mix himself
in presidential contest, but if the publ
cation of the two letters referred to will
further benefit Hancock or make more
clear his letter to him, then Hancock has
Sherman's permission to give them out for
publication. In the case of the other let
ter Hancock was obliged to ask Sherman
for copy of it, because he was not able
at the time to make two copies. The copy
furnished Hancock by Sherman was made
by Colonel Bacon, one of the aides on
Sherman's staff, who certified on honor
that it was true and exact copy of the
original, and the charges of garbling or
rewriting are of course baseless.
REFERRING to Col. McClure's argument
in the disbarrment case Col. J. w. Forney
in his paper of this week says; "You do
not frequently find an accomplished jour-
nalist and ripe lawyer in the same person.
But that double gift undoubtedly belongs
to Colonel Mcclure, of the Times, and the
argument in question was pronounced,
when it was made, to be a production of
rare literary merit, legal research, and ora
torical finish. The whole proceeding
against the independent editors of the Lam
caster (Pennsylvania) INTELLIGENCER,
who are also members of the bar of that
county, was SO harsh, extra judicial, and
passionate as to have excited considerable
surprise and regret among those who knew
Judge Patterson. l believe the decision of
the supreme court in this important case
is still reserved"
