The Hancock Veteran Club.

An Addition to the Membership-speech
 by E. M. Graves.
 The Hancock Veteran Club held their regu- lar weekly meeting last evening, the presi- dent, Dr. E. L. Bissell, in the chair.
 The names of eighty-four veterans were received as recruits and they were accepted.
 E. M. Graves, who had previously been se- lected to make address, addressed the members of the club. In his opening he said that he appeared not partisan, but independent citizen. Having paid a tribute to General Hancock he considered the fol- lowing propositions
 First-What did the Union volunteers fight for? Was it for the perpetuation of politi- cal party or for the restoration of the Union? Did they sacrifice their lives and shed their blood as Republican partisans or as Union patriots? :? The statistics of the election of 1860 show that there were nearly two million Union Democrats in the Northern States then as against something over abouta million and three-q quarters Republicans. What folly it is then to claim that the Republican party stored the Union!
 Second-Did the Union volunteers fight to establish the principle that the military is above the civil power? If they did, then Winfield Scott Hancock is not worthy of their support. He has record as a respecter of the civil law which places him in the front rank of American statesmen. It goes with out question that the North took up arms not only to suppress insurrection, but to enforce obedience to the Constitution of the country and of the will of the people-armed force being necessary to compel such obedience
 Third-The veterans of the war have req son to love and respect General Hancock. He was model soldier.
 In support of his propositions M r. Graves quoted numerous authorities and concluded as follows Winfield Scott Hancock was an ideal commander; he possesses the requisites of an ideal President. He is pure, he is loy- al, he is wise, he is able. he is a Democrat Like the lamented Abraham Lincoln he be- ieyes in a government 'Fof the people, by the people and for the people," From every quarter his praises are sounded. The Union veterans are rallying in thousands to his standard. We were the first in the field as an organized legion in his behalf, but hun dreds followed in our wake The soldier vote alone is factor which promises to throw every doubtful State into the Hancock column. In every Northern State the old soldiers entering for another contest not one of powder and bullets, but of reason sharp and decisive. Our enemy will march forth to meet their Waterloo. Another Get tysburg is to be inscribe8 on the Hancock banners. We have a leader who knows no defeat no defeat awaits him in 1880. His cause is just, his motives pure, his objects noble. The election of Winfield Scott Han cock to the Presidency will restore peace harmony and prosperity to the land
 Three cheers were given MT. Graves on the conclusion of his speech, after which the meeting adj djourned-

successful the air-lock could not be reached before Saturday night. consultation Of engineers was held to-day and it was decided to adopt the plan of sinking coffer-dain to get at the bodies, and the engineers in charge think if divers can get to work at the bodies from underneath they may get them out in a week, if they cannot they will not be recov- cred until the coffer-dam is built, which will be in five weeks if the work progresses. He says the dangerous part of the work has not yet been arrived at and many more lives will be lost before the work is accomplished. When the tunnel reaches that portion of the river where the water is sixty feet deep there will be sixty-two pounds of earth and eighty pounds of water to the foot. This will make the pressure LOGO pounds to the square foot, requiring an atmospheric pressure of forty pounds to the square inch.

Plaques in Russia-Children Dying Like
 Flies From Diphtheria-Vretched Con-
 dftiOn ofthe Peasantry.
 LONDON, July 23.-A St. Petersburg cor respondent says the state of the peasantry over large part of Russia was miserable enough last winter. If the present crops fail their condition will be wretched beyond de- scription. The reports being sent in from the provinces to the Minister of the Interior are yet incomplete, but they point to poor crop even if the conditions henceforth are favorable, of which the wide distribution of the corn beetle gives grave doubt apart from all consideration of the weather At Khval- insk, town on the Volga, opposite the natur ally rich province of Samara, a meeting has been called to provide against an expected famine. At the same time the plague among the cattle and diphtheria among the people rage almost unchecked. From the latter dis ease children are dying off almost like flies in a village not twenty miles from the capital

 General Grants Future Home-What
 His Son Says About It.
 NEW YORK, July 23.-General Grants son, Jesse R., said this morning to reporter that he discredited the rumor published in the morning papers that his father intended to engage in the mining business and live in this city. MT. Grant has letters at regular inter vals from the General, and the one last re- ceived, which is of recent date, contains no allusion to any such project. The General is on a visit in the Southwest for the purpose of more carefully inspecting the country in New Mexico and Colorado than opportunity has offered, thus completing his survey and and Territory in the Union. One object of his tour was to see the Great Manitou springs and test the medicinal property of the waters. Being near Leadville the General made fly ing trip to the mines out of curiosity, mot, said his son, with view to gathering ln- formation for business purposes, or 1 am confident he would have written me to that effect. I am quite sure he has no thought of entering the mining business, and do not believe he has formed an intention of making his home in New York city. .'

Turkeys Answer to the PoIvers-The Col
 lective- Note Rejected-The War Cloud
 Growing BIacker.
 LONDON, July 23.-A dispatch from Con stantinople says the Turkish council of min isters have prepared their reply to the col lective note of the powers respecting the ces- sion of the Turkish territory to Greece ard propose that the powers agree in principle that Larissa, Janina and Zoco shall not be affected by the Berlin agreement, but remain in possession of Turkey, and that negotia- tions be at once opened as to these places. Larissa is a town in European Turkey, the capital of the province Thessaly, with an es- timated population of 10000, three-fourths of whom are Turks, and the council objects to it's cession on that ground. The same ar gument applies to Janina and Zoeo. The Turkish council also proposes the appointment of Montenegrin commission of inquiry re- specting the cession of Prussia district to Montenegro. The Montenegrin envoy was very indignant at this proposition of the Porte and threatened to leave Constantinople unless the offensive proposition was stricken from the reply to the collective note. It is not believed this present attitude of the Porte on the decision of the powers will be satis- factory, and the probability of war is consid- cred as enhanced.
 The Montenegrin representative has left Constantinople.
