SEVENTEEN years ago last Satur-
day General Hancock fell desperate
ly wounded at Gettysburg. and as he
lay on the ground with a surgeon exam
lining his wound, he dispatched an Aide
TO General Meade with this dispatch:
"The troops under nv command
have repulsed the enemy's assault,
and we have gained great victory.
The enemy is now flying in all d.
reciions in my front" Gen. Meade
replied; IL thank you for the coun-
try and for myself for the services
you have rendered to-day Congress
also recognized his gallant services by
joint resolution Of thanks for his
"brave, meritorious and conspicuous
share in that great and decisive vic
tory" He fought nobIy for the Union
and shed his blood to maintain its
principles. but when the war was
ended with the results Tor which he
strived, he put up his sword, and
when ordered to the Military Dis.
trict Of Louisiana and Texas, he
bound the hearts OF his late enemies
to him by issuing an order directing
that IN times Of peace the military
should be subordinate to the civil law,
and announcing that the principles Of
American liberty was stii the lawful
inheritance of lis people. This is the
way that this tniest Of soldiers, al
though clothed in the very powers Of
despot, deak with the people be had
conquered, and now the whole coun-
try from one end to the other is ready |
10 do him honor. The man whom
nothing could deter from doing that
which he believed to be right. and |
who stood by the principles of the
Constitution, when his position almost I
depended upon it, is worthy of the high
est gift Of the people. and the South |
prides herself that for once al least,
she is solid as adamant for such
man. Read his admirable letter to
Gov. Pease on our first page and

soldier and statesman Of the present

of the majority. by making these Re-
publican Legislatures appoint Garfield
and Arthur electors, who will de-
clare the Republican ticket elected,

spirators will do anything to ATTAIN |
further lease Of power. but they will ,
be taught to their sorrow that the {
American people have submitted to 8
the last fraud that can be perpe-
irated on them. Hancock will be q
elected, and elected, he will be seated, a
