GIANT AND HANCOCK.

A Characteristic Note from the General.
CHICAGO, July s.-The Adranes (Coigre-
gational Church paper) says respecting
the statement that General Grant would
support Hancock, General Grant denies
promptly the report in the Truth. The
following addressed to the editor OF the
Adpance is interesting as confrmatory Of
that denial, and as alike contradictory OF
the report that General Grant had cher.
ished a personal animosity and petty spite
against Hancock ever since the Mexican
war:
"You have probably seen that I denied
the.canard started by the New York Truth
the very day twas started. Thave nothing
to say against General Hancock's personal,
official and military record. The record
Of the party that put him in nomination is
bad" Yours truly
[signedl us. GRANT,

sity 40, and the Wyandotte's A strokes.
The Argonaut and Wyandotte took the
lead for the first half mile, when the Uni
yersity crew pulled up alongside, and for
he second half mile Il was difficult to de-
eide which was ahead. One Of the
seats OF the Wyandottes shell broke down
when near the home stretch, but the
crew pulled we'll together, and increasing
their stroke ut the last 10 forty. came In
winners by half length, in 9:42t, the

OF Detroit; and Eureka, Of Newark, N. j..
By the time the race was called, the breeze,
which had been blowing strongly all alter
noon, greatly increased, and the river was
covered with white caps. The crews got
away together at the word, the Eureka
aud Centennial keeping we'll together,
the Carmans at the end Of the first half
mile being virtually out Of the contest
The race was warmly contested, the Eu-

nav, did not row.
The third heat OF the iour.oared sculls
was between the Albanys, Of New York,
and the Hillsdales, OF Michigan. This was
O finely contested race, and, although the
river was rougher than 1t had been at any
time during the day, good time was made.
The boats got away well together, but
the Hillsdale crew soon took the lead with
q long and steady stroke. The Albanys
commenced with 4s strokes to the min.
ute, slowing up to 4S, but at the finish In
creasing again to their original stroke. AT
the one mile post the Hillsdale crew led
by six lengths, which was reduced one
half by magnificent spurt on the home
stretch by the Albany boys, the time be-
ing 8 Al, with Hillsdale three lengths In
advance. The eighth and final race Of the
day was the fourth heat for the four oar.

THE .TIMEs, on TIE IRELAND BILL.

LONDON, July s.-The 7ima in its lead
in article this morning points out that the
majority for the government OF the sec
ond reading Of the compensation for the
disturbance in ireland bill fell a hundred
short Of the united Liberal and Irish
strength. The apprehensions excited by
the bill in the minds Of many Liberals
have not been removed by Gladstone's
impassioned and ingenious pleading. The
reluctance TO accept the bill has not been
based solely on the belief that 1t will be
unjust to the Irish landlords in It's imme-
diate operation, but partly on the appre-
hension that 1t portends to the re-opening
OF the Irish land question in all its length
and breadth. % .

The Murderer of Judge Elliott Gets His
Case Continued.


owENToS, KY, July ga special term
Of the Criminal Court having been called
to try the case Of the Commonwealth
against Thomas Buford, the assassin Of
Chief Justice Elliott, the accused appeared
but the case was continued until the No.
vember term. Buford will remain in the
keeping Of the jailor Of Owen county in.
stead OF being sent to Louisville.
The Prosecuting Attorney says the con-
tinuance was agreed to first, because the
Criminal Court ceases TO exist on the first
day Of August, and delay beyond that
time in getting q verdict would perhaps
resultin discharge Of the prisoner on q
subsequent trial by q plea oil once in
jeopardy; and second, because this special
term Of the court was called for the 9th Of
July, which was, this year, legal holi-
day, and II there was verdict oil guilty,
possibly on q motion the judgment would
be arrested and the same plea OF former
jeopardy become available.

THE IRELAND BILL.

pondent of the Edinburg Sco.smun says
that he hears that the government has re.
ceived information from Ireland that un-
less the compensation for disturbance in
the Ireland bill is passed public tran.
guilty will be endangered. The land agi.
tation is still kept up, and branches Of the
Land League are being formed in every
town in the west OF Ireland. The tone Of
the speakers at the meetings Is suggestive
OF lurking mischief, which will have to be
closely watched. 1t plainly indicates
political purpose beyond the mere acquisi-
ton OF land, and 10 which the latter o b.
iect Is subordinate but contributary.

In some remarks TO the same effect In the
Richmond Commonwealth. We copy 1t
simply as proper and coroboratiye sup
plement to what we haye said lately in re-
gard to the reason why Hancock had
approved himself to the Democracy.
Soldiers will read 1t with special interest
It shows, as We have contepded, that Han.
cock was nominated because he sought
the nomination as far back as Andy john
sons term Of Office, by being willing to
play into the hands Of the negro hating
White Liners Of the South. We presume
that Hancock, owing TO his southern aftilia-
tions in social way before the war,
really thought vastly more Of the White
Liners OF the South than Of the Repub-
licans Of the North. He was Union gen.
eral OF the Mcclellan stamp. He would
have saved slavery II It had been possible,
and we can imagine his disgust when
Abraham Lincoln issued his emancipa-
ton proclamation. He would have put
the White Liners in power in the South
and in the National Government II he
could have had his way after the war.
Fortunately he was not permitted to have
his way. He will not have his way as
President any more. than he did as Mill
tary Governor. He will share the fate OF
Major General iGeo. B. Mcclellan. The
American volunteer soldiery know why
they went to war, and no mere West
Pointer Of Democratic antecedents in pol
tics and aristocratic antecedeats in social
life, can bedazzle them with the tinselry Of
