William H. EnSIIshs

William III. English il BY birth an
Indiana man, having first beheld the
light in Scott county Of that State, ON
Aug. %, 1S22- He was literally edu-
Gated, passing three years at the uni
versity of South Hanover. He studied
law and was admitted to the bar, be-
ginning the practice of law i'm 1S46.
though much of his life was devoted to
agriculture. Previous to this he had
entered into political life rs a member
of that grand old Democratic party.
He was clerk of the Indiana State
House of Representatives i'm lS43, and
from lSi4 to 1913 was connected with
the treasury department; was clerk Of
the Indiana Constitutional Convention
in 1850; was elected to the Legislature
in ISL, serving as speaker, and was
elected to Thirty-third Congress as n
Democrat, by n vote of 1854 to 1904
was reelected to the Thirty-fourth Con-
gress by vote of S,93l to S,345. Was
again reelected to the Thirty-fifth Con-
gress by vote of 1857 to 1927 and
was n fourth time chosen to that Office,
by a vote of {, 298 to :, i34 for his former
competition, Wilson. Mr.. English il
quite wealthy and Possesses unbOunded
popularity i'm hisOwn State and through
out the West His candidacy will
strengthen the party i'm Illinois, where
the splendid State ticket headed by
Trumbui has already struck terror
among the Republicans.

ADVERSELY.

Adversely is the tOuchst0ne OF char
acter. As some herbs need to be crush
ed to give forth their sweetest Odors, 80
some natures need to be tried by suffer-
ing to evoke the excellence that il i'm
them. Hence, trials often unmask vir-
tues, and bring to light hidden grace~
which otherwise would have remained
obscure. Men apparently useless and
purpOseless have. when placed i'm posi-
tiOns of difficulty and responsibility,
exhibited powers of character before
unsuspected. Some of the greatest
minds that have ever existed upon the
earth would never have made their
rare gifts of benefit to others had they
not been drawn out and purified by adj
versity. The poets, whose sublime
strains have cheered 50 many human
hearts have learned i'm suffering what
they have taught i'm song. Had their
path in life been strew with roses, had
they been waited onward by the favor
ing gale of prosperity, the multitudes
would have missed those grand, in
spring words that have 81 helped them
in a weiry battle of life. Adversely
generally comes when least expected.
While all strive To shun its visits, few
pass beyond its reach. Like the earth
quake, its approach is without warn
ing. If We are unable to avoid the H.
nancial crash which il brings, let us in
the light of philosophy draw from il
needful lessons for the future.

General Hancock favor il, and there are
many reasons why this is the most nat
ural and advantageous location. That
was cute way John Sherman took to
get even with Raum, the Internal Rev.
enue Commissioner who took such an
active part for Grant in Illinois regard
less of Sherman himself and of the
much despised Order No. /. Hayes and
Sherman, instead of removing Raum
and making martyr OF him, just took
the patronage away from him and made
the position very uncomfortable and un-
desirable. The idea probably was that he
would resign, but he don't. Judge
Porter, the first comptroller of the
Treasury and candidate FIR Governor of
Indiana, has resigned and, it is said,
makes place for another Ohio man 90
Judge Lawrence. There is a tremen-
dous clamor and pressure for the remov-
al of all Democrats holding positions
in the Departments. But my letter is
already long enough, 81 will refer To
that subject next week. PHoNo.

CROMWELL, July H.
Ehfor Herald,
As your regular -gatherer, "Cul-
w." is out of town and thinking perhaps
there were few outsiders who would
like To hear from our "town on the hill"
we will attempt to give II few items.
Perhaps you are already informed of
the rapid strides taken by our town to-
wards civilization, culture and improve
ment. y few Sundays ago you would
see throng of loafers, black and white,
father and son sitting on the streets,
laughing, talking, deriding and whit
Ting; but now there is II change come
over the people. They assemble al Sab
bath school, instead of OH the street cor
ners, read and converse OH Holy sub
jects instead of thin, lille, wicked, BIAS
phemous prattle. Again We had three
sermons yesterday, the first time such
II thing occurred, and is never likely to
occur again. Bro. Bean preached two
able discourses, morning and night,
while Bro. Frazier preached in the after
noon. Bro. Mayhugh preached at
Green river also.
We have had several bOoms besides
the Presidential, which was insignifi-
cant besides some of our booms.
The first in the river boom, which was
higher than ever known at this season
of the year, and exceeded the rise of
10 by four feet. Vast quantities of corn
are completely destroyed -several farm
ers have not an acre left still don't think
we will have famine next year.
There has also been considerable eX
element in regard to the employment
g. t..,l
have made application and IA each has
his particular friend, the applicants
have made big "bOOmS."
Our Police Judge had Il boom last
week in the form ola petition circulated
around town seeking subscribers to ask
his resignation on account of his incOm
petancy.
Judge Cook announced tn address us
on the 10th inst, failed to make his
appearance, but arrived yesterday
evening. In company with Bro. Bean,
he Went To Morgantown this morning.
Mr.. II. J. Daniel and family arrived
in town yesterday, visiting relatives.
One of our most prominent and best
citizens, Mr.. |. Mendel, has decided to
move to Russellville some time shortly.
We regret very much to part with him
and his family, and especially VIII the
beaming cOuntenance, bright and
sparkling wit of his daughter, Miss
Flora, he missed from among our band
of young ladies. Wherever she may
go, Whatever may befali her may Il
kind Providence guard, gride and pro-
tect her.
Miss Minnie Shull is from home ON a
visit. We heard Il young man wishing
for her return.
Miss Souri, Tilford has a fine organ
and she sings and plays beautifully.
Mrs. Rice Paxton and Mrs. VIM.
Shull are both unwell at present. We
hope for their speedy recovery.
Ii is II current report that one of our
Board ers) is shortly to pluck our fairest
Lily. We do trust that such is not the
case, ut least So soon after We have
commenced there. Don't you think lie
ought To give us II chance?
SUPERB.

q Personal sketch.

a volume Of camp and field anec-
dOtes might he written illustrative of
the man, but it is not needed to UNDER
stand him. Gen. HancOck's personal
characteristics might almost be drawn
from the foregoing simple record Of his
life. He appears the very beau ideal of
the soldier. His figure Is tall and fine
ly shaped His eye is clear, blue, i'm
quiring, benignant in repOse, but inspir-
ing in danger and earnestness. In
manners. no man ever surpassed him.
He is the embodiment Of knightly
courtesy To his subOrlinates he was
kindliness itself. He put one at his
ease, gave eonfidenee-made a man
think better of himself-made him
think that he amounted to more than
he suspected. This was one of the Sc
crets of HancOck's success ON the field.
HancOck's reprOOf, on the other hand,
was not thing to be wished for twice.
He was severe i'm his requirements, and
sometimes made his colonies and gem
erals wish they We're anywhere but
under the plain severity Of his talk.
Yet after the lesson was taught, the
wound was healed by some attention So
kindly and 50 gracious, that the object
Oi III leit al HIST tilat he nstu gstlncu Dy
the transaction. Thus he was To his
subordidates. What he was to his SUI
periors Is matter Of history. No more
loyal executor of orders ever bestrOde n
horse.
This sketch cannot better close than
with the language of Haneoek's first
division commander, that splendid vet
eran and stubborn fighter. who was
himself generally in hot water with
his official superiOrs, Maj. Gen. Badly"
Smith. Said the latter of Hancock
ale was the most loyal subordinate
ever knew. He always tried to carry
out his orders in their spirit rs well rs
To the letter, and whatever he might
think of them, when he received them
they became his own and part and
parcel of himself"
The Hartford herald. [volume] (Hartford, Ky.) 1875-1926, 1880-07-21

and in fact, as then well-knOwn, the
said beard of said district We're but the
agents and Instruments of Congress and
the United States was responsible for
the Indebtedness by them created.
Tenth-That We arraign him for gross
derelictiOn of duty as IA member of Con-
gress in failing to bring to light and ex-
pose the corruption and abuse in the
sale of post traderships, for which the
late Secretary Belknap WAS impeached,
when the same was brought to his
knowledge by Gen. Hazen, i'm 1871, and
can only account for it upon the suppO-
sitiOn that his manhood was debauched
by the corruption funds then by him
just received and i'm his own purse.
Eleventh-That the law of 1878
known as the act demonetizing silver
was enacted i'm the interest of gold rings,
bond holders and capitalists and against
the interest of the tax payers and with
out their advice or knowledge. That
this act, by single blow has seriously
crippled our power to resume specie pay
ment or pay our national debt IN coin.
That no sufficient reason has yet been
given for this legislation so dishonest
and palpable in ITS discrimination i'm ia
vOr Of the small creditor class and capi-
talists and against the great debtor class
and industrial interests of the country.
That James A. Garfield during the last
session of Congress was the conspicuous
defender of this crafty attempt to sacri-
flee the interests of the people to bond
holders and foreign capitalists. That
when it is proposed to restore the old
silver dollar to the place it had held
during our history rs a nation asa legal
tender for all debts, public and private,
denounced the attempt "a ''swinGle on
81 grand scale as to make the achieve
ment illustriOus" and rs a scheme Of
vast rascality and colossal swindling."
Twelfth-That neither great ability
and experience nor eloquent party dis
ctlssiOn of the dead ISSUES of the late
war will excuse or justify past dishOn-
esty and corruption, or answer rs u
guarantee of integrity and purity for
the future.
Thirteenth-That believing the state
ments i'm the foregoing resolutions set
forth, we cannot without stultifying
our manhood and debasing our self-re-
spect, support at the polls the nominee
of the Republican convention of this
district for reelection, nor can we with
out surrendering our rights rs electors
and citizens sit silently by and see n
man So unworthy again sent to repre-
sent Us in the national legislature. That
strong in the conviction of right we
cali upon the electors of the district, ir
respective of former or present party at
taehment, who desire honest govern
ment to unite with us i'm an earnest,
faithful effort to defeat the reelection
of General Garfield and elect i'm his
stead an honest and reliable man.
