passion of the times, in the most trying
circumstances in the history OF our,
country, he restricted the unlimited
mower with which he was vested within
the limits of constitutional principles,
and invoked the aid of civil govern
ment in reconstructing the States, and
his defense of tlIit course was q mas
terly one.
Few men in the worlds history have
had the courage to face the storm OF
popular indignation, few men have de-
lied public sentiment in adheiIng to
principle. None have more willingly
sacrificed temporary applause for last
ing fame, than Gen. w. S. Hancock.
His heroism on the battlefield is not SO
sublime as his heroism in opposing the
destruction of civil liberty.
Looking back with regret upon these
troublous times, all good men may now
realize by perusal of this letter the
greatness of the writer; they will re-
cognize the claims upon their suffrage
which this man has, who, when he
might have gained favor and advance
mept by oppression, incurred the dis
pleasure of his country by dealing out
Justice, and refusing to violate the prin-
ciples of constitutional government.
He retired from the command under
the pressure of radical craftsmanship,
but the record which he left will make
him the next President.
In the National Convention of 1868
Hancock received 144I votes for the
democratic nomination, and at St.
Louis in 1875 had strength of IS.
The recognition of his service in the
cause of civil liberty has been tardy,
but it will be responded to heartily,
not only in tho South, but throughout
the length and breadth of the land.

ENancOclk's First General Order
in Louisiana.
IN. o. Picayune.l

Rejoicing over the nomination OF Gen. W.
s. Hancock, we give here for public informa,
ton the full text Of the famous General Order.
No. 10, which he issued when assuming COM
niand Of the military district which included
the States of Louisiana and Texas;

assumes command of the Fifth Military Dis
trict, and of the department composed OF the
States of Louisiana and Texas.
IL The General Commanding is gratified
to learn that peace and quiet reign in this de-
partment. 1t will be his purpose to preserve
this condition of things. As means to this
great end he regards the maintenance OF the
civil authorities in the faithful execution OF
the laws, as the most eaicient, undeT existing
circumstances.
In war 1t Ii indispensable to repel force by

airy force has been overthrown, and peace es-
tablished, and the civil authorities are ready
and willing to perform their duties, the mill.
tary power should cease to lead, and the civil
administration resume Its natural and rightful
Solemnly impressed with these views, the
General announces that the great principles
Of American liberty still are the lawful inner
itance of this people aud ever shall be. The
RIGHT OF TRIAL BY JURY, THE HABEAs Coz
PUs, THE LIBERTY OF THE Press, THE FREE
DOM OF SPEECH, AND THE NATURAL RIGHTS
OF PERSONS AND THE RfGnTs OF PRoPERTy
MUST BE PRESERVED.
Free institutions, while they are essential
TO the prosperity and happiness of the people,

peace and order. Grimes and offences com
mitted in this district must be referred to the
consideration and Judgment OF the regular
civil tribunals, and thosetr tribunals will be sup

be necessary.
While the General thus Indicates his pur-
pose to respect the liberties of the people, he
wishes all to understand that armed insurree-
tions or forcible resistance to the law will be
instantly suppressed by arms

The Candidates..

Morning Star and Catholic Messenger
In our opinion the present demo.
cratic ticket is the strongest presented
by any party in this country since the
Harrisoa campaign. Tippecanoe swept
over the whole land like an equinoctial
gale, and the probability now seems to
be that something like the scenes OF
that burst of enthusiasm will be re-
enacted.
The whole country is tired of par
tizan hacks in high places, and here
comes before it candidate who is
scarcely a party man, much less par
tisan or politician. The country is
tired of fraud, corruption, bribery,
perjury and all kinds of barefaced vii
lainy in open possession of the highest
political power, and it can put as a
guard over all that trust man whose
name is a synonym of honor and whe
has never been known to betray trust
of any kind. The country is sick of
the incendiary cry of the bloody shirt;
here is man who knew how to wear
bloody shirt heroically and afterwards
wash out the stains in good humor.
Everybody is tired and sick of the mere
soldier-the incarnate spirit of war,
that even in time of peace would per
petuate the rule of martial law over
one-half the territory of great agri-
cultural and commercial people; the
people see presented to them a soldier
who long since proclaimed that in peace
the soldier is and shall be subordinate
to the civilian.
Can it be supposed that the honesty,
the humanity, the wisdom, the business
instinct, of the country will not hasten
to welcome such a man and to welcome
him with enthusiasm?
There is already glowing warmth
in one section which. is sufficient to
enkindle the universal flame. Louisi-
ana and Texas were the commemorative
over which extended the military de-
partment of the man who first and alone
proclaimed that martial law must give
place to civil government. They are
and have been for Hancock first, last
and all the time. They have pledged
to him and his name an eternal friend
ship, and they have given an unques-
tionable proof that Republics can be
grateful.
But this warmth of feeling is not
confined to Louisiana and Texas, or
the South in general--it is finding ex-
preston everywhere. Already tele
grams are pouring in pledging the sup
port of old comrades in arms. Repub-
licsn soldiers cannot and will not for
get the devotion which they felt in the
campaign and the confidence which
they gave on the battle field. The
trivial strife of politics pales in interest
before the memory of strife that was
of life and death, and the old spirit
win awaken again. Yes, and it may
awaken with a strength that will par
alyze all opposition.
After all, everybody will see pecu-
liar fitness in the, fact that the first
president of really reunited country
should bear the name which stands
first on the original document of ma
tionality-HAEcooK.

The steamer Lark left Orange Mon

While being pulled along with rope
in the Narrows, about eight miles
from the head, and at the foot of
what is known as Dead Bend, she RIM

She had on board about $50 barrels

he may. She lies in eight feet Of

Hancock and English.

Never since the campaign OF "Tippe-
canoe and Tyler too," has a presiden-
Inflammation awakened anything like
the enthusiasm kindled by that OF
Hancock and English. From the At
lantic to the Pacific, and from Missouri
to the Mexican Gulf, the booming OF
cannon, waving of banners, and shouts
of exultation, testify that the Cincin-
natl nominations have struck the key
note of burst of popular enthusiasm,
the very existence of which is a pledge
of an overwhelming democratic victory.
For the first time in twenty long years
International democratic party isaroused
by a sense of genuine and honest ex-
ultation and pride in its selection of its
standard-bearers. Out of the darkness
and degradation of twenty years of re-
publican profigacy, tyranny and cor
ruption, light has shined, and the
friends of constitutional liberty can
say from the heart, "Truly the light
is sweet, and pleasant thing it is for
the eyes to behold the sum-"
Hancock! The very name comes to
MS like n voice from the declaration
of independence. Patriotism, virtue,
honor, manliness, integrity, courage,
all The exeellences which men admire
and women adore, cluster like jewels
around that name. In an age of cor
ruption his reputation is stainless. In
time of war his sword struck home for
the Union. In time of peace no power
could force him to draw it against his
co1ntrymen. A soldier by profession,
he always maintained the supremacy Of
civil over military power. Crowned
with the love of the army and honored
with the respect of the people, no
wonder the cannons roar and bonfres
blaze at the thought of making him
the commander-in-chief of the army
and navy, and the chief magistrate of
the nation.
OF VIM. Fl. English, of Indiana, the
democratic candidate for Vice Presi-
dent, it is enough to say his democracy
is pnre, his ability unquestioned, his
character irreproachable. His nomin-
alton strengthens the ticket which
Hancock's had made invincible.
Hurrah for Hancock and English !!

A W0man's Nerve.

The readers of the Express will 70
member the delivery Of Rube Boyce, the
stage robber, from the Austin Jail, by
his wife. Without repeating the story
Of the escape, and telling Of the manner
in which it was accomplished, going on
to the time that Boyce and his brave
wife reached their home in Kimball
county, another incident, equally as
thrilling as that at Austin, occurred.
Mrs. Boyce had determined to stick to
her husband. She had released him
from the cell where he had been confined
by bars of hardened steel, in the centre
Of the capital city Of the great State of
Texas, and in the face of the armed
guards. She loved him, no matter what
crime he had committed, and sooner
than permit him to fall victim to the
penalty Of the law, and be taken forever
from her, she would risk her life to re-
store him to liberty. She succeeded in
her effort, but then of what avail had
her efforts to release him been, could she
not be with him? To remain in the
country where they had lived was unsafe
both for her and her husband, for the
minions of the law would surely learn
of his return, and either recapture him
or take his life, and arrest her for re-
leasing him. There was but one safe
course to follow, and that was to leave
the country. So it was arranged be-
tween the man and his wife that they
should leave together, and it is reported
that Immediately upon returning to
their home after the escape from the
Austin Jail, the highwayraan, and the
brave partner Of his bosom, mounted
each horse and rode off together Mrs.
Boyce is said to have dotted her female
attire, drawn on pair of trousers,
buckled revolver to her waist, placed
mans hat upon her head, and thus
disguised, she followed Rube, "for better
or for worse, to some region where he
may probably never be recognizes or
known. There are few women, indeed,
who have the nerve that Mrs. Boyce
showed, and fewer still who would man.
fest the faithfulness she did for the man
she loved Her ventures would serve az
the text for most thrilling sensational
drama or a novel of absorbing interest

thousands all over the world San

their supplies on Depot Island. On re-
turning from Backs river, however, and
proceeding to Depot Island, they dis
covered to their indignation and disap-
pointpent that the provisions had not
been delivered, and they were forced to
depend altogether on the supplies Of a
small party Of Irillick Esquimaus, who
had themselves passed through a most
severe Winter, having been obliged at

shared with them what provisions they
had but they endured much suffering
from lack of food At one time ter
rible storm set in from the north which
prevented walrus hunting, and they
went seven days without receiving any
thing more nourishing than seal-skins

seeing that the situation was becoming

They reached there in safety, and
through the kindness of Capt. Baker
the party were taken to New Bedford.

them at Depot Island. but it is charged

A REvENGEpUL CAMEL.-We find this
Eastern story illustrating the cameP.
malignity and passion-notwithstanding
his patience and good service when well
treated:
On one occasion camel-driyer had
insulted the animal in his charge. The
driver, from the expression of its eye,
saw that there was mischief in it, and
kept sharp watch for some days.
One night before he retired to rest he
: left his cloak spread over the wooden
saddle Of the camel Outside the tent
During the night the camel approached
the cloak, and, believing that its mas
ter w.s fast asleep under it, lay down
and rolled itself backwards and forwards
over the cloak; the saddle broke under
its weight, and the animal was evident
iy much pleased at what it thought was
the cracking and breaking of its masters
bones
After time it rose, ard looking with
contentment on the havoc it had caused /,
retired from the spot Next morning,
the driver, who had heard all that the
camel had done, presented himself to
theanimal. The disappointed camel was
in such rage on seeing its master safe
and well that 1t died.
