We publish this week Gen. Han
cocks letter accepting his nomination
for the Presidency of the United States.
1t is brief, but long enough to satisfy
every true Democrat. 1t is the very
soul of liberty and constitutional fideli-
ty--just what we expected from the
great patriot who wrote it. 1t contains,
as the Nashville American says, "no
surplusage.' His theory Of government
is told in few words, and it is the only
theory consonant with liberty and true
democracy. And this faith on the part
of Gen. H made itself manifest in his &C.
ton and utterances when commander OF
the Military District comprising Louis
lana and Texas. Then as now, he said,
by action if not word, that "the bayo-
net is not n fit instrument for collecting
the votes Of freemcn." We want every
reader Of the Home Journal to read
Gen. Hancock's letter carefully. 1t is
Il jewel in craftsmanship. 1t is q nut,
shell of nobleness. Contrasted with the
acceptance letter of Gen. Garfield, it is
like gold compared to brass like peace
and prosperity compared to war and
wailing. We are proud Of our stand
ard-bearer.
The letter of Hon. William H. Eng
fish is too long for us to publish this
week, but will give it place in our
next. And it will be a delight to all
who love truth, eloquence and states
manship.

Chattanooga shipped last week to
Cincinnati 1000 pounds of grapes, and
the grape crop Of Hamilton county is es.
timated at 100000 pounds. And yet
Franklin county can make no showing
in this respect. Verify, if we would
quit trying to repudiate, quit listening
to regulators, and watch our points,
Franklin county could send as many
grapes as any county. Our mountain
sides are especially adapted to grape
culture, and all we need is--more immi.
grafton or more home enterprise.

Believing that il will be service to many,
and in view OF the fact that many persons re-
ouire very much testimony before they can be
convinced, desire to give hereby expression
to my opinion oi pE. LOUIS VoN MEYERHoFF,
the future music teacher of the Winchester
Normal school.
Having had ample opportunity to form his
acquaintance, am able to say that he is one
of the best musicians | ever met in America.
Those who have attended the Concert last
week need not be told that he is great art
ist on the Piano. His technique is simply per
feet, as might beexpected Of pupil OF such
men ne Cscmy and Thalbeg, (the former being
the greatest composer Of Technical Exercises
for Piano His expression ia exquisite. The
Concerto" by Mendelssohn, his transcription
OF "Flck and Flock" and several other pie
ces, which he Las played in the Concert and
elsewhere are extremely difficult. His Vocal
and Instrumental compositions show him to
be master Of The science Of music and, from
what have seen and heard, fully believe
that he will be successful and practiu4 teacher
His pronunciation OF the English language at
first seems 10 be an obstacle, but am satisfied
any one, after having convcsed with him for
few days, will easily understand him; at
least this is mycxpcricncc.
Some will ask: Why all this? The reason
why give this testimony il, because desire
that he shall find patronage enough to stay
here, in order that we may be able tocultivate
the highest style Of music, it being our inten-
ton to give frequent Concerts at onr respect
i've stations United Ne can do much atone a.
most nothing
hereby commend DR.. Louis Won Mcyerhofi
to all who wish to become good performers or
proficient in singing.

Col Jno. II. Savage made an able
speech last Saturday in our town, and Il
very fair crowd in number listened to
him attcntivcly. He made a good i'm
preston for himself, and We expect he
made votes for Mr.. Beasley, because if
a man hears only one side ola question
he is not hard to be convinced. Besides,
Col. Savage, personally, is u very hon
orable man. No one can assail success
fully his character for honesty as man,
and it does grieve US that so good a
man in this respect, and one 80 open
and frank, is an advocate of policy in
regard to our State debt that we hon
estly conceive to be wrong and fraught
with untold evils. 1t does seem to us
that it is absurd to talk of not owing
bonds to which the seal of the State and
the signatures of our Governors are at
tached. And our recourse ought to BE-
upon the members the people sent to
the Legislatures which created this
debt. At that time, however, no man
could have been elected who was not fol
railroads, and now, after selling the in
solvent railroads TO the amount of 500 .
coo, 900, or more, We want the road,
which paid their Indebtedness to pay
our bonds. 1t matters not at what rat,
these roads bought our bonds---it was ;
business transaction. But We have no,
space to review Col. Savage's able
speech.
His allusion to us, personally, was
courteous and kind, and we assure him,
widely as We differ with his views on the
State debt, that we have nerer received
single cent for publishing anything in
the Home Journal except it was matter
subject to charge as advertising. Our
opinions, political or personal, have
a~yn been bought. We may have
e. angod our views when convinced of
error, but the Home Journal has nerer
sold itself to any man. 1t is under no
pccuniary obligation to any man living.
1t has never asked any favor ofany one
beyond wish fer him to subscribe, and
it never will, under our control. When
We sell out it will be lock-stock and
harrcl tradn.
