THE OPERATORS HIRE PREDICT IMPROVE.
NENT IN THE AUGUST SALES.
Prom Sundays Philadelphia Times.
Although several months have elaps-
ed since orders for foreign iron went
out from this country shipments are
still arriving daily. This is due to the
fact that importations were made ION
future delivery" and that at that time
IL was impossible 10 find sufficient trans.
porting facilities, owing to the tre.
mendous bulk of the orders. During
the past week or ten days especially the
receipts in this city have aggregated
10000 tons of bar. scrap and pig iron,
and it was naturally supposed that it
would largely effect the trade, but In.
quiries among operators yesterday
showed that this Is not the case. IL is
thought that the greatest bulk OF the
importations Is in and the receipts will
soon cease altogether. At present the
stock of foreign iron in Philadelphia Is
estimated at an amount not exceeding
100000 tons, o large proportion of
which belongs to New York parties.
The stock here would be very much
larger but for the fact that owners are
distributing IL oil over the country and
storing for future sales. The American
product Is preferred by consumers and
many will not have the foreign iron,
and while prices have been shaded in
consequence of the latter the market
Is not only stronger. with steady indi.
cations for further Improvement, but
there Is a growing disposition to pur.
chase on future delivery. The foreign
iron at present arriving had been lost

the lapse OF time since 1t was ordered

No controversies of personal loyalty

conducted in this way will be elevating

THE STORY or THE SURGEON WHO DRESSED
MS WOUND IN THE THIRD DAYS FIGHT.
From he New York Sun. t&
DR.. Alexander N. Dougherty, of New.
ark, was medical director of the Second
corps when il was commanded by Gen.
Hancock. He is Republican, and was
postmaster of Newark under Grants
first administration. He will however,
vote for Hancock. He said yesterday !:
When Gen. Hancock succeeded Gen.
Couch as commander of the old Second
corps, | became his medical director.
At the battle of Gettysburg he COM
manded the First, Second and Third
corps, one-half of the army. In the
third days fight at Gettysburg he was
wounded, and | was sent for. ! found
him lying on the hillslope under tree
and facing the enemy. There was a
deep, wide cash in his leg, near the
groin. In the wound were wood splint.
ers and ten.peny nail. Gen. Hancock
was anxious to- know what the rebels
were using in their shells. He thought
he had been wounded by splinters from
one of the enemy's shells. We put
him into an ambulance, and i lay down
ocslue ulth. lhcu We uEuNO thiouBh a
hot fire to my hospital. Afterward !
discovered that bullet had penetrated
his saddle, and then lodged in his thigh,
carrying with it the wood splinters and
the tenpenny nail.
GAS he lay in the hospital in great
pain, at his dictation, wrote his first
dispatch to Gen. Meade announcin g
the victory won at Gettysburg, adding
to the dispatch that the defeat would
be turned into a rout. He was calm,
patient and heroic. lie is equally
entitled with Meade TO the honor OF
the victory at Gettysburg, and Meade
would say 80 il he were alive. On the
night of the second days battle a coun-
Gil OF war was held. 1t was proposed
to fall back and establish the line OF
battle at Pipe Creek. but Hancock
opposed it. He argued that the army
should stay where it was, and he said
that the Army of the Potomac had
made its last retreat, and should fight
or die on the line where the battle was
begun. Gen. Meade finally conceded
with Hancock, and the result was that
that great victory crippled the rebels so
that they never recovered from it.
Hancock will be the next President.
Several of my Republican friends have
assured me they will vote for him. We
don't want any President who accepts
bribes or perjures himself, or who has
even the suspicion OF taint about
him.

EVER since his nomination, General
Hancock has been receiving congrat-
ulatory letters from the soldiers of the
Second Corps pledging their fidelity to
him in the Presidential campaign.
The following is copy of letter he
received last week, and is only sam
pie of the hundreds brought by every
mail:
"SPRINGFIELD, o., June 90, 1880.

ganized. Among those present were

and Captain Kennedy, of Vermont.
General Smith was appointed tempor-
airy chairman. IL was decided to estab.
lish clubs in all Northern and Western
States composed of soldiers and sailors
irrespective of party who intend TO vote
for Hancock. IL was also resolved TO
open headquarters in this city.
Really the crimes of General Hancock
transcend belief. IL has now been dis
covered by the Times and Tribune that
he once actually allowed himself to be
cheated by a skilIful operator out Of a
thousand dollars There is nothing In
the account book Of 0akes Ames or the
De Golyer, contractors to warrant the
belief that such an imputation can ever
be successfully put upon Gen. Garfield.

THE Philadelphia Times was charit-
able enough to believe that Garfield
might set himself right in his letter of
acceptance. 1t said: "He may choose
that instrument as the means of strik-
ing his calumniators dumb with a
new and satisfactory explanation of
all the charges that are piled up
against him. 1t may be shown that
his relations with De Golyer were
those of Christian brother, and that
he went into the Credit Mobilier busi-
ness simply to find our how such
things were done and then to expose
the rascality. Or it may be shown
that both De Golyer and Oakes Ames
are myths of partisan manufacture.
In either event the vindication of this
prosecuted man would become the SUI
preme duty of the American people,
and what a glorious rallying cry win
dication' would maker' The Times
was sadly mistaken. Garfeld's letter
has appeared but the expected expla-
nation is missing. He has not one
word to say about Credit Mobilier,
Oakes Ames, or the De Golyer bribe.
These blotches therefore remain upon
his character as unsightly as ever.

IL General Garfield, remarks the
Boston Globe, had consulted General
Butler regarding his Credit Mobilier
speculation he would have Jared bet
ter than he did. He would have at
least escaped the charge of perjury
which now troubles him and his party
so much. Bingham asked Gen. But
Ter what he should do, and the answer
was, "admit the truth of your connec-
tion with Ames." Bingham has been
forgotten in the matter since, because
he did as he was advised. Colfax and
Garfield had not the moral courage
to do this, and they stand before the
country to-day in the most pitiable
light. EH
