Nina came close to him now, and

His evasive and cool reply was: 4

Then YOU purposely ahstained for
ten years from seeking remedy in
these courts o.
"Oh no: not purposely."
"Where do YOU find authority to d.

Senator Blair here INDUCED in little
speech, intimating that the cases of
these several soldiers had been taken
up to forward the Hancock boom, In
view Of the serious import of the inves-
tigation. this observation was generally
regarded rs piece of small tritling
with very grave subject. The witness
was again taken taken up by Senator
Mcdonald, who asked;
did YOU make any determinations
between fraudulent and correct certiti-
Gates?
Il made no discrimination, he re-
piled; they were all fraudulent in
1868"
do you swear there were no genu-
inc certificates issued by the superior
supreme court in October, 1862
AT this question the witness felt de
cidedly uncomfortable, and wriggled
and twisted i'll his chair several times.

none"

The witness was then questioned at
some length as to the receipts and dis
bursements of his office. His receipts

was from $4,000 to 100000 adj

Grants Hostility to Hancock.

Grants especial cnmity to Gen. Han
cock dates back to February, 1867. 1t
was about the time that Grant was re-
cciving presents Of houses in Philadel-
phia, money from New York, bull pups
from Ohio, and other wares from who
ever felt like giving. Just at that time
the citizens Of Baltimore conceived the
idea Of making Gen. Hancock valu-
able present; all was arranged for the
affair and Gen, Hancock was invited to
come down from Washington. Having
learned what was wanted Gen. Han
cock sent respectful declination stat
ing that lie feared that his acceptance
of n present would not be consistent
with his position rs an officer in the
regular army. Grant was al that time
general of the army and secretary of
war dd Interim He WAS awfully angry
with Gen Hancock, and considered his
delicaey on the subject Of presents
personal aiiront
Gen. Hancock had performed his
duty with that keen sense of honor
which eharaeterizes every act of his
life, but by doing 80 he has made life
long enemy of Gen. Grant.

His civil Service Record.
Philadelphia Record CInd.) July 10,

lhUhuelphh RECORD (lnu.J July ~
General Gariield's present notions
about civil service reform do not run
parallel with those which he entertain
ed four years ago. He now thinks that
the executive should be advised by con-
grcssmcn in the distribution of patron
age. In 1876, on public occasion, III
animadverting on civil service, he said:
congressman have become tho dispensers. some
times the brokers' of patronage, and civil office
has become vast corrupting power to be used
in running the machine Of party politics. Every
nun Of the 100000 feels that his only hope OF
staying il in toadying to those III power, 50 that
this offices an immense bride, securing to the
party in power mn army IT retnnors who are the
most servile of their sort in the world. Nothing
less than the absolute divorce of the appointing
function from congress can remedy the evil 1t
should be done 50 completely TINT every member
Of congress shall be able to make such boast AZ
Thomas Hughes, NJ. p, did on his visit to this
country that, although he was personally on
good terms with every member Of the cabinet, he
could not influence the appointment Of clerk.
General tinrlield's record on the tar
i'll question, on the financial question
and on the civil service reform, when
compared with his confused and timid
declarations in his letter of acceptance
do not add 10 his reputation for cour-
age or consistency.

TIE democratic papers in New
Hampshire are making the chief Car
field organ swallow large sized dose
of crow. On the Goth of Feb, 1873, two
days after the Poland committee re-
ported, the Concord Monitor said.
The republican party cannot and will
not take upon itself the sins of Colfax
field. Rather it will be true to its mis-
sion and place the seal of condemnu-
ton upon them all
After reading this, the editor evident
ly got mad, for on the next day Feb.
DIST, 1873, his paper said,
That these two men Games and
Brooks should be summarily elected
from the position they have disgraced
is Il most painfully apparent truth.
But two parties are necessary to CON
summate bribery, and if Mr., Ames is
to be expelled for bribing Mcssls Car
field and Bingham, they should bear
him company i'll punishment The
conclusion Of the committee that they
were bribed and did not know it is alto
gethcr too thin. The country demands
that clean work hc made of this cleans
ing process, and that I'LL men who have
sold themselves should be kicked out of
congress.
These righteous conclusions We're
drawn after the evidence was all in and
the Poland committee had reported.
They were true then and now. A. we
have repeatedly said nearly every
prominent republican paper i'll the
country nj that time denounced Gar

and Brooks in the Credit Mobilier cor
