rations of the war Of the union. But, as hos
tilities were closed more than fifteen years
ago, claims of that nature, now mostly IN the
hands OF brokers or persons other than the
original sufferers, are becoming stale, and, i'm
my Judgment, might fairly be considered as
barred by the lapse of time, and It hereafter
entertained at all, should be subj ectCd TO the
strictest scrutiny. Yours, very truly,
w. S. HANCOCK.
Mr.. Cook said nothing about union war
claims, but the opportunity to worl, in
a small stump speech was too tempting TO
be ignored and he went in Union war
claims are "lasting and sacred' That
sounds WELL but reading q little further we
find they are becoming stale " in spite of
their sacredness, and though lasting " in his
Judgment they are barred by the lapse of
time, and must be "scrutinized.n Did any
body ever see great statesman so mud
died? Why scrutinize them If they are
barred? Why call them lasting if they can
get stale by time? How are they sacred If
they can be denied because the claimant
employs an agent TO collect them? Is it
part of General HANCoCK's mode of do.
ing business not to scrutinize claims until
they are barred by time, or what does he
mean by saying that these particular claims
should be scrutinized"? Never was any
public man in this country caught in q
written document of such dense fog and
such ridiculous contradictions 1t is dis.
grace to his party and to his country. A
school.boy of ten years who could not
avoid such foolish contretemps would get
his ears boxed for being q Ounce.
The trouble with HANCOCK, however,
is after all not so much with his head as
with his moral sense. To him the bug.
bear YVES awfully real and with the demo-
cratic instinct that has brought WADE
HAMPTON, BELTZuoovERa and other leaders
TO grief, lie undertook TO lie the rebel claims
out of existence, and thus has as completely
stultiiicd himself as the gentleman did
who tried to account for the peculiar lodg-
ment of that special chicken when the cir.
cumstances were particularly awkward.
So the world will have another laugh.
The hasty plate of soup is nowhere after
this. With such an intellect as HANCoCK's
to deal with, there would seem TO be no
trouble in getting through any amount OF
claims, rebel or sacred.

'Two thousand plows' says the Memphis
Audldnche, arrived on one steamer from the
north II day or two since What this country
wants is more plows and less partisan politics
to the acre" Yes that is so; but We do not
want more plows from the north. We want
more pillow factories and every other kind of
factory in the south to make the articles we
need.-AHdnta (Gd) Constitution.
There is much truth and good sense in
tho above, but until the spirit and methods
Of the south are changed how is that Sec
ton to secure the factories which ii so much
needs? The capital, skill and enterprise
necessary TO accomplish that desired end
must come from the north, and until the
people of that section are treated far better
in the south than they have been hereto.
fore the necessary investments therefor can
never be secured. We have case in point.
A democrat from Westminster county, Y. Y,
years ago went into the state of Virginia and
established plow manulactory. lie is n

dint Of application has made his business a
fair success-but socially, unless our in

Mr. HENDRICKS of Indiana has disgraced
himself by his pettifoggng attempt TO dis
grace General GARFIELD on account of his
visit to New Orleans. By aiding in an
effort TO get at the bottom facts of the
election in Louisiana he stepped on the toe of
the Indiana statcsman's ambition and made
it sore. General GARFIELD visited New
Orleans in behalf of an honest election, and
nothing was done by him that could not
have been done by any honest man with
out bringing the slightest faint upon his
integrity or responsibility. Now HEN
bricks carefully removes the bandages
from his sore toe which he has been nurs-
ing for nearly four long years, and he
makes an exhibition of il with the tender
remark-GARFIELD did 1t, and hence he is
disgracod. For the reason, as substantially
stated, that he was visiting statesman
and then n member of the electoral COM
mission, which stripped HENDRICKS of his
hopes of preierment, GARFIELD is disgraccd;
and now HENDRICKs presents his wound,
which rises up rs witness against GAR
FIELD. What q miserable pctlogging

takes off its dirty bandagcs and Gaunts

last act of HENDRICKS is the most disgrace.

blessing came to this nation when he was
