A DISTINGUISHED REPUBLICAN.

Among the many able and distinguished
men who are rendering service to the
country and their party there is one whose
brilliant oratory, grand character and emil
nent ability call for the fullest measure of
praise at our hands. We mean General
NATHAN GoFF of West Virginia. Few
men of his age have done so much in so
short time, for General GoFF is yet very
young man. At the breaking out of the
rebellion he entered into the service of his
country as private. He was but mere
boy. He came out of the war brigadier-
general by brevet, the appointment having
been made by General ULYSSES 5. GRANT.
Shortly after he was appointed United
States attorney for West Virginia, and his
record as such is remarkably brilliant
one. Whenever he makes n speech, be it
in the legal forum or on the hustings, hosts
of his fellow-countrymen crowd around him
and never tire of listening to this young
and gifted orator
In 1876 he was nominated by the repub-
licans of West Virginia for the goyernorship
of that state, and the bogus democratic
"majorities" which had been previously
"roled up just as they are in Maryland
by the notorious canal ring" were vastly
reduced. GoFF flashed like meteor
through the state, and not single demo-
crat in it-with possibly one exception,
HENRY S. WALKER, and he is now green
backer-would meet him on the stump for
joint discussion. Had he been supported
by orators with one-fortieth part of his
talent the state would have been carried by
the republicans GoFF canvassed about
half the state, whereas the democrats went
into every township of every county.
President HAYES rendered the general
the soicitorship Of the treasury and it was
declined; foreign mission was then offered,
but the DEMosTHENEs of West Virginia
preferred to remain where he could do the
most good.
To-day he stands forth prominently
the first man in his native state. lie is
more to West Virginia than is any Other
epublican-except CoNKLING, LOGAN
BLAINE and CAME RoN--to any other com
monwealth OF course we omit Genera
GARFIELD, as he is man for the entire
nation.
And the people OF West Yirginia-thc
head aud heart and brain and Judgment o
the state-are about calling upon General
GoFF TO let his name so before their next
legislature as candidate for the United
States senatorslip. We hope, sincerely, he
may consent. That young aud promising
commonwealth could we'll be proud of sucl
senator. She is hardly proud of her sen,
ators now. Not only would West Virginia
be honored, but the senate of the United
States would DO compimonted.
But whether General GoFF comes TO th,
senate or not, he is conlessedly one of the
most brilliant and distinguished men il
the country. We beg of him to make ont
speech, at least, in Indiana.

sCIENCE w. EIuNnEn.

General HUNT, the chief Of artillery at
Gettysburg and MEADE's right bower, tells
the story how he and MEADE together
planned the location of the batteries and
the manner of serving them so as best to
meet the supposed designs Of LEE and
thwart them on the day Of the great crucial
assault by PICKErT's desperate column, and
how much TO their surprise and mortiGca-
ton they found that the ord ers which they
had given were not being carried out by
the artillery directly under HANCOCK.
This led TO hasty investigation, and it
was ascertained that HANCOCK had inter
fered with MEADE's plan of battle, given
an order in direct conflict with it, which
was obeyed, and another which General
had obeyed, would probably have lost us the
battle. As it was, the order that was obeyed
caused serious loss and risked the day
General HANCOCK has put himself on rec
ord so far MS 10 say that the statement of
HUNT is true rs to the facts that the artil-
lery did not do as he wanted it to, and that
he gave the orders which HUNT attributes
TO him. Vi Icoulse he does not admit that
this was wrong or bad the effect which
HUNT claims it had. That is question
for military men who were at the battle to
decide, and HANCOCK, as a soldier, is en-
titled to a fair hearing and q generous
Judgment ns to what the danger was and
whether his orders resulted in gain or loss.
This we cheerfully concede, But he is en-
titled TO no more generosity than Hunt,
who performed his duty equally well, in
cured as much danger, aud was in posi-
tion of equal or greater responsibility, and
the flct that HANCOCK is candidate for
the presidency must mot give him any adj
vantage, for this would be unjust We
have read all the papers we can find, and as
the case now stands the military evidence
and tho military reasons are stronger
against HANCOCK than against HUNT.

MEADE, Hunt and McGTLoREY stand on
one side thus far; on the other, HANCOCK
three to one, so far as numbers CO. MEADE
rs commander of the whole army aud HUNT
as chief of artillery of the whole army were
higher in position, had broader view of the
whole field and better chances of estimat-
ing the contingencies than HANCOCK, so
that the numerical weight of authority and
the circumstances of the case which go to
support Just opinion are not less than
three to one in their favor; for MCGILoREY
as All artillery specialist, devoting his at
tention to his special work, which was ac-
eomplished, may well be reckoned as com
petent to judge what should be done with
artillery rs HANCOCK and three officers
thus situated as against one are a heavy
majority.
The reasons which lie against the course
of HANCOCK are stronger than the numbers.
MEADE was entitled to plan his own battle
and did. 1t is now conceded by friend and
foe, union and rebel, that IL was fairly well
planned. He OWNED the intentions of
LEE, and the manner of carrying them out,
and both correctly, rs the event proved.
He chose the method to meet those designs
which best comported with his own iudg-
ment and with the opinions of such officers
as he cared TO consult. No important
emergency arose which HANCOCK was cog
infant of and MEADE ignorant of to require
a change in MEADEs disposition Of forces
or orders, and, consequently, any important
change made by q corps commander who
was ignorant of the plan Of the commander
in chief was hazardous in the extreme and
only justifable for the strongest reasons,
and such as would stand the amplest criti-
cism of the highest military authority.
This has not yet been given unless MEADE,
HUNTand McGuLREY may beso considered F;
and in the absence of an equal number of
officers present Of equal grade and reputa-
tion, and equal information of the situa.
ton, no man can say that their judgment
is not very nearly final.
The weight of authority and of reasoning
is, therefore, that HANCOCK made grave
mistake at Gettysburg which imperiled
the day and the cause, and only through
the disobedience of McGILoREY were the
most fearful consequences of that mistake
averted.

ers, while the republicans have made an
excellent choice in JOHN F. DEzENDOGF.
GOODE was counted in from this district in
1876 by 1896 majority over JOSEPH SEGAR,
and again in 1878 by 2,730 majority over
JOIN f. DE2ENDoRF. We do not believe
he was elected either time. We are quite
certain he will be left at home this fall.
The Richmond Dispatch virtually gives up
this district to the republicans. Itsays:
DEZENDoRF, LACY and GooDE will each re-
ceive large vote in the district. It would
seem that the republican candidate ought un-
der existing circumstances to be elect d.. The
negroes of the district have it in their power
to elect him if they choose to qualify th M
selves and voto for him in q body,
Mr.. DEzENDORF will make thorough
canvass of his district, and the present con-
dition Of parties in Virginia, as well rs the
character of the election judges appointed
by the readjusters, insures us what we have
not had for years in the second district

not win it will be because we have failed TO
get out the other important factor to sue

nELrznooyERs LETTER.

1t now appears that Mr.. BELTZHoovER's
letter, which he pronouuces forgery, pre-
scnts every appearance of being genuine.
The New York Tribune publishes fac sim1e
of the original document, together with
that Of another letter from the same
author to another parry, about the genuine
ness of which no question has been raised,
and that settles beyond doubt the gen
uineness of the repuliated letter. 1t now
remains for Mr.. BELTzHoovER 10 step to
the front with such explanation as his
inventive genius may conjure up for the
occasion. 1t is strange that some men can
never profit by the experience of others.
WADE HAMPTON had just made sad spec
taclc of himself by attempting TO deny his
own utterances. He WIS impaled as firmly
as fly pinned snugly to the wall, and now
Mr. BELTZHoovER shares asimilar fate. It
does seem that bourbon can never learn
anything

not seem to have been very much alarmed
for the safety Of an old acquaintance. Com

his fingers in the face Of danger and to run
that greatest of all risks, giving oiIeuse to a

THEeminent Brazilian abolitonist, Senor
NABUCo, has ammo unced in the inn
peril parliament that he has in prepara-
tion bill 10 abolish slavery throughout
the empire in 1890 This declaration has
produced considerable agitation among all
classes, especially the planters. Efforts for
the gradual emancipation of the slaves have
been made for several years past, but have
been ineffective. The whole system of the
productive industry of the empire is bound
up with the peculiar institution, and no
such radical change as proposed by the
abolitionisis can occur without suhjectng
the agricultural and manufacturing in
terests Of the country to a severe strain.
The advocates of emancipation are in
creasing in numbers and political power,
and, with the earnest support of the en-
peror, their policy is certain of success in a
few years. With its extinction in Brazil
slavery will cease TO exist on the continent
of America.
