NEW YORK, Oct. IA letter ia
published, of date May 18th, 1858,
from General Hancock to John B.
Haskin, of New York, in which he
thanks the latter for his advocacy
of him (Hancock) for President,
and says he knows there is wide
spread effort to make his name
prominent, and that that fact arose
probably from the Republican cam
didacy Of General Grant, and from
his share In the Southern work.
He was anxious for the triumph of
Conservatism over Radicalism, but
had no ambition to be President.
His position, II nominated, would
be embarrassing, having 10 pro-
fession but that of arms and possess
ing no riches; but he would not
hesitate on that account, if he could
win and others could not.
Another once for Grant.

stationed on Governors Island,

Into relations with Hancock, there
is good deal Of feeling in regard
to the alleged Fowler. Grant inter-
view. The amendm ents Of the
original publications. said one of
the officers, make the matter worse
muddled than ever, and the next
thing In order will be for Grant to
explain his explanations. Grant
is bound, remarked another. to
make Garfield the next President.
He knows then that he will be a
power behind the throne, whereas
If Hancock is elected he will be
left out in the cold. He is not in
a position to ask favors of Han
cock. In the first place he treated
him most shabbily when he gave
Mcdowell, junior Major. General,
the command of this Department
and sent Hancock west, where he
did his utmost to cripple him,
while the latter was in command
at New Orleans. And what did
Hancock do, interrupted another
officer. He resented it. He would
would either command or he would
not, and when he found he could
not command, but must content
himself with being a figure-head, !,
he resigned and he did what any
high-spirlted officer would have
done. There is an unwritten his
tory that may be written.
