HancOck's Letter Of Some Of
Its Points.
NEW YORK, July 29th.-The Express saws
1t was rumored to-day that General Han.
cocks letter of acceptance would be issued
this evening, but this afternoon it was def
nitely learned that it would not be furnished
to-day. 1t is believed that the issuance of
the letter only awaits the arrival of copies of
Mr.. English's, SO that both can be issued
simultaneously. The Express reporter this
afternoon learned that General Hancock 8
letter had been ready and in print for several
days. 1t is understood to be short From
persons believed to have general knowledge
of its substance it is gathered that its chief
points are:
First-That a Presidents duties are chiefly
executive, and that the President must obey
the Constitution, as the supreme law of the
land, and obey and enforce the laws of Con-
gress, whose duty it is to repeal laws when it
is found that they have become obnoxious!
Second-That the political results of war
must be accepted and upheld in good faith.
The constitutional amendments and laws
enacted in pursuance thereof must be fully
respected.
Third-The broadest democratic ground
will be taken on the Chinese question that
Columbia is the asylum and home of the op-
pressed of all lands, but that she will not
tolerate the enslayement of labor in any
form, whether by foreign Nor local contract.
Fourth-That the duty Of the President to
make recommendations to Congress is to be
pursued in no narrow, but in thoroughly
national sense, and as local interests may
conflict, the duty of reconciling matters over
which sections may dispute belongs to Con-
gress, the law-making power.
The Itc COmmissien-Refusal to Ratify.
DENVER (Col July 29th-The Tri5unes
Los Pinos special says: The Indian Com
mission met early yesterday. and the greater
part of the day was consumed in discussing
the provisions of the treaty hjected to by the
Utes at previous councils. They still protest
against the allotment Of land in severalty, and
yesterday expressed an uuwillingness to their
removal to the junction of the Gunnison and
Grand rivers. preferring the junction Of the
Uncompahgre and Gunnison rivers. Chief
Guerro who has opposed removal from the
first, expressed himself as willing to surrender
the mountains to the whites, but is unwilling
to give up the lands along the rivers. An
opportunity was yesterday offered by the
Commissioners for the Indians to sign the rati-
fcation of the agreement made in Washington
last winter by Ouray and others, to which not
a single Indian responded !; nor was Ouray,
when questioned on the subject, able to give
the name Of single Indian who had ex.
pressed willingness to sign the treaty. The
Commissioner addressed the chiefs, inform
ing them that the treaty in its present shape
was the only terms on which the question
could be settled, and they must accept it or
nothing. At the suggestion of Ouray, the
Indians were given until tomorrow to deter
mine their action. Commissioner Mears in
reply to question of the chiefs as to what
the Colorado people think of the removal,
said they could accept the treaty or not the
people OF Colorado were fully determined
that the Utes must go, and that he was
afraid il they didn't accept the treaty in its
present shape, with the payment of sec, 000
and land in severalty, they would be COM
PEELED to go and lose everything. 1t will
likely be a considerable time before the treaty
is signed.
