WASHINGTON, July 1.-The Wash
ingtOn Weekly World tonight con
tains the following
Among the many CONGRATULATIONS
rendered Gen. Hancock, after his
nomination, was the following, which
for some reason or other was sup
pressed:
NEW YORK, June q. 188O-Gen.
Winfield S. Hancock Beloved SON
| tender congratulations upon your
nomination. The children OF your
illustrious namesake and your own
were reared in our holy church. May
the teachings they have imbued lead
you wholly within our fold, and may
the earnest prayers Of the faithful
place you in the highest position in
the republic.
Affectionately and fraternally,
JOHN, Archbishop.
The radical papers are using the
above for the purpose ofinjuring Gen.
Hancock where they think it will ac
cOmplish such purpose. This is the
message mentioned in our dispatches
yesterday, which Archbishop Nc
Crosby denounced as forgery, which
any sane person could see it is on its
face. 1t answers one purpose very

good days work for the public well
fare. In the interests of law, peace
decency, and self-respect, let us de.
termine that this county shall never
again be dominated over by ignorance,
corruption and outrage. 1t is time to
take care of ourselves. There are
evils as great as an epidemic, and if
we sit down supinely, and fall into the
hands Of shameless combination,
we will have only ourselves to blame.
The first thing is organization. Let
one or more clubs be formed in each
ward and district. Then subdivide
these divisions, and appoint emu
meratorS to take a careful census Of
the voting population, giving the
politics Of each man ascertained, and
report the result to the demo-
cratic executive committee. This
Will give the committee valuable in
formation, and will enable the repre-
sentatiyes Of the clubs on election
day to challenge imported voters, who
will be swarming in from Mississippi
and Arkansas. We throw out these
suggestions for consideration, hoping
they will be acted upon. The details
can be determined upon by the citi-
zens OF each particular locality.

The young men who have organized
Hancock and English clubs in this
city have made a good beginning.
We hope large club, embracing all
the active working material available
will be at once formed in each ward.
These clubs secure unity of action,
they promote enthusiasm, bring out
laggards. eulist those who sit
on the fence and as it were are
squadr6ns set in the field. Young
men especially can accomplish
a great deal by getting together and
learning discipline and tactics. Let
older heads plan, advise and instruct,
but give the boys the active work to
do, and they will come up nobly every
time. We have something to struggle
for this time that is worthy of effort.
1t is the peace and safety of our Ere
sides, and all that is dear to the well
being of society, the prosperity we
have and hope to acquire, the law
and order Of a peaceful community.
The issues are enough to inspire
every man Of any pride or patriotism

had he obtained that amount it was
his intention to have built coin vaults
at Baltimore, Philadelphia, New
York and Boston. There is great
complaint of the accumulation Of sill
yer at the sub-treasuries of those
cities. Only week ago the sub
treasurer at Baltimore noti-
fed Treasurer Gilfllan that he had
thirty-three tons of silver coin in his
vaults, and asked to be relieved of a
part oft. Mr.. Sherman has decided
to expend the $4,000 appropriated in
the construction of roomy vault at
the Philadelphia mint. There the
surplussage of coin will be stored, and
the overflow from the different sub
treasures will be removed there as
rapidly as the silver profit found will
pay Tor transportation.

GarfieId's VenaIiIy and HypOc-
risy.

A Washington correspondent of the
New York Sun, has this to say of
Garfeld's status at Washington, where
he has spent most Of his time since
1863:
The republicans at the capital, who
are familiar with the daily walk and
life Of Garfield, know full we'll that
the Credit Mobilier corruption and
the DeGOlyer bribery are mere Incl
dents in career notorious for iobbery
and hypocrisy. His votes and the
influence of his position in the houes

most every scheme of spoliation be.
fore congress. The parties who bought
and who sold him, Of course, have an
interest in concealing their criminal
completely and investigation has bare
ly scraped the surface of his habitual
traffic as a legislator.
Considering his talents and his on
portunities, Garfield has generally cot
less money for his support of Jobs in
congress than almost any of the cor
rupt crew who have made merchan.
disc of their positions on committees,
or their votes on the floor. He has
usually been in the hands of sharp
Intermediates; who have made him
pay dearly for preserving venal Sc
crets. Thus, Dick Parsons, of Cleve-
land, who was hired by the agent of
DeGolyer and Mcclellan to buy Gar
fields influence as chairman of the
appropriation committee, pocketed
ten thousand dollars for that service.
while he only gave Garfield five thou
sand, although, as he swore, he had
agreed with him to share the fee.p
AS a business eorruptionist Garfield
is not success, though he has con
triyed to make himself easy in cir
cumstances, and might have been
much richer than he is, if the faculty
of exaction had been added to his
easy virtue in taking bribes. Nor
ally rotten, and defiant of opinion. he
has constantly required ready money
and he usually accepted whatever sum
was offered without stopping to con-
slider whether it was an equivalent or
not for the service rendered.
For these and for other reasons
which may be made known hereafter
the nomination Of Garfield fell fiat at
the capital, not so much from disap-
poinhlent on the part Of Grant, Blaine
or sherman, men as from knowl,
edge OF his character, and the convic.
tion that it could and would be as
sailed successfully as wholly un-
worthy Of the place to which he
aspires. Thus far his opponents have
practiced the utmost iorbearance in
referring only to those points which
investigations by congress have made
clear.
Whenever the time comes to con.
slider Mr.. Garfield in his capacity as a
christiap statesman, and to strip off
the mantle Of hypocrisy which has
covered q foul interior, the country
will see an object to be l6athed. Ii Is
the dread of thisexposure, superadded

VIcKsBURG, as well as Memphis,
is setting up claim as cool, healthy
summer resort. The distance between
the two places is ,.bout four hundred
miles by river, so we hope there will
be no hurtful competition or cutting Of
rStes. Memphis has little the start,
having advertised early, and already
attracted attention from the Atlantic
to the Rocky mountains. The influx
is not great, but it is on the increase
every week. In year or two, when
we have better streets, longer drives
out on the turnpikes, and better
water, more public fountains and
other attractions, we will be able to
accommodate and hold good crowds
through the summer. Tine addition
of a few pleasure yachts to run up
and down the river, and one or two
parks in the suburbs, with
an extension and improvement
of the street railway system,
will make the place sufficiently at
tractive to keep the most of our own
people at home and to draw crowds of
visitors from all directions. The tenn
perature and the comforts of the city
, have been so delightful this season
that very few of our citizens have
left, so far, or sent their families
away, although quite a number left
about this time last year. We have
health, cool breezes, good lager, lively
politics, beautiful women, prattling
children, gallant young men, all the
business We can do, andeverything
that goes to make up contentment
and prosperity. This is the way it
looks on the ninth OF July, 1880.

GEN. Ulysses S. Grant has been at
the pains to write to Chicago paper
that Gen. Hancock's record is good,
and the record of the party that put
him in nomination bad" The old
man still labors under the hallucina-
ton that his opinion has some public
influence. Perhaps the less he says
about records the better. The Amer
lean people have generally condoned
the eight years OF his miserable ad,
ministration, during which he set the
military above the civil law, to keep
his party in power; but these things
are not forgotten, and never will be.
Under him all manner of corruption
found good soil to grow in and immu
nifty from the penalties of the law.
He perhaps did not profit by these
thieveries or share the spoils, but his
friends did; and the most that could
be said in his defense was that he was
over partial in his friendships, and
would not believe any thing against
his chosen associates, even when
proven. The record of the party that
nominated Hancock will stand compar-
ison with any and all that the repub-
lioan party ever made, war and all.

The Pride orn Child.

st. Louis Times.
In one of the St. Louis public
schools many of the children who
came from a distance were accustomed
to bring a lunch, and thus save a long
walk home for dinner. They gener-
ally ate it together, and had a merry
time, Among those who stopped one
of the teachers noticed little girl
who never brought any lunch, but
VINO looked wistfully at her playmates
as they were eating their noon meal.
But one day the girl
brought her bundle also, wrapped
in paper. At noon she did not 90 with
the Others, but remained at her desk
as if preferring to cat alone. The
teacher thinking her unsocial, advised
her to 90 to the lunch-room with her
playmates, and walked towards the
desk to take her bundle. But the
little girl, bursting into sObs, said:
"Don't touch it, teacher; aud oh,
teacher, don't tell, please. lis only
blocks" The poor girl had no dinner
to bring, but wished to keep up
Appearances so as not to seem un-
like her schoolmates. And she was

She was very dear to the teachers s
heart after that incident.

The Mason Call of this week says
Hon. B. M. Estes has removed his
family to their new summer home in
the vicinity of Mason. The fact that
MIR. Estes has fixed upon this place as
his future homein the dull and leaden
summer and fall months is creditable
to Mason. Mr.. Estes could easily
have selected another point, but
knowing that this possessed all the
advantages that one in city is accus-
toned to, and at the same time being
convenient to the metropolis Of West
Tennessee, he concluded to locate.
We would like tc see more of Mr.. H. S
kind among us. In this connection
we will say that Mr.. Estes has remod-
eled' and beautifed his home greatly,
which, in addition to its natural ad-
vantages, makes it all that taste and
refinement, combined with common
sense, could desire.

THE COUNTY TICKET.

We are gratihed once more to see
the democracy and other good ele-
ments united in the support Of one
common ticket. The result of. the
convention yesterday is highly salts
factory. The ticket heals old differ
ences, unites the substantial classes
and gives assurance OF unity and sue
cess. Good common sense prevailed.
and the strongest ticket possible was
put in the field. Much is due to
the kindly and courteous spirit
manifested by Captain Athy and
Sheriff McGowan to each other. They
set good example, and it had hap.
py effect on their respective support
ers. Neither one sought to under
mine the other, or to take an
advantage or permitted it to be done
by their respective and enthusiastic
followers. Both acted in good faith.
Capt. Athy had withdrawn from the
field by agreement of mutual friends
and was one of McGowau'S supporters.
Athy's friends, however, insisted on
voting for him until 'he had
a majority. Then it was that
McGOwan, who might have prolonged
the contest indefinitely, with a mag
nanimity rarely displayed in politics.
withdrew in favor of Captain Athy,
and insisted on his friends vot-
ing for him. After an unsuccessful
ballot or two, Captain Athy was de-
clared unanimously nominated, and
the convention Immediately nominated
Mr., McGowan for trustee. This was
a happy solution Of difficult situa.
ton. 1t was perfectly satisfac-
tory to the friends Of both
gentlemen, and presents a ticket
that with united effort can
easily be elected. We have no doubt
Of the result. w. W. Mcdowell and
L. B. Horrigan were nominated for
chancellor and criminal ourtjudge by
acclamation. Judge Mcdowell had
previously been nominated by the
nationals. The reelection of these
two gentleman has been certain for
some time, as they are acceptable to
all parties and have kept entirely
aloof from local politics in the cam
paign. All four of these gentlemen
are eminently qualified and worthy to
fill the places for which they have
been nominated. They are all dem
ocrats, and will receive the hearty
and unanimous support Of the daily
press of the city. The ticket will
command the respect and support of
the law-abiding, intelligent, solid
people of the county, rich
and poor, and almost with
out regard to party. We must
organize at once aud be ready to pre-
sent solid front and great army of
quiet, efficient workers on the day of
election. Let all good citizens who
think of going away on business or
pleasure this summer defer it until
after the election. We may need
