NOT A MERE DUMMY.

[From tho New York Herald, 14th.l
Some time ago the republican journals
were quite certain that Judge Black
did General Hancock's political writ
ing. The Judge, they asserted posi-
lively, wrote for the General those let
tiers and orders to Louisiana and Texas
politicians which are so famous. Han
cock, they said, was unable to set down
such sentiments. ga mere soldier,
you Know" they said; tswhat does he
know about such questions?''
Well, here is Hancock's letter of ac-
ceptance-an ADLER document than
Garfield's in the general opinion who
wrote that? Ambition comes Hancock's
letter to General Sherman, written in
1876, from a country town in Missouri.
1t would be delightful to think that
Judge Black also wrote that but un-
fortunately the Judge was not there.
Unlike the Irishman's bird, he could
not be in two places ut once. Yet it
is a very good letter strong, sensible,
showing as accurate an
understanding on Hancock's part of
the constitution as the famous Louis
lana order. So far as we have noticed
the republican organs accept this let
ter meekly as Hancock's own. This is
perhaps by and by they
will give him also the credit which
belongs to him of the authorship of the
Louisiana orders and letters. The the
ory that General Hancock is mere
does not seem to prosper.

Personal.

Mr.. l.. d. Allen, Jr., our popular
banker, left Thursday for New Orleans,
on business and for recreation, this
being his first trip off within three
years.
Maj. Jas. G. Richardson is on visit
to Monroe, but we have not had the
pleasure of looking into his open
countenance.
Our columns were too crowded last
week to mention the presence at the
convention, of Col. Hayes of the Clai-
borne Guardian, Mr.. j. T. Walker of
the Vienna Sentinel, and Mr.. c. J.
Smith of the Columbia Herald. Hap
py John Armstrong was likewise here
and among his old friends, who were
glad to see him. We trust that our
brethren were pleased with their visits
and hope to see them in Monroe as
often as their pressing duties will per-
nit.
Mr.. David Aren't, of Farmerville,
came striding into our sanctum yester-
day and was heartily welcomed.

FAR FROM HOME.

We clip the following from an ex-
change, from which it appears that a
fifty cent bill of Monroe's war scrip
has wandered far from home and is
found mysteriously in strange COM
pany, indeed:
Miss Olive Morrill,, of Bangor,
stepped out OF her door as usual one
morning, and swept off the steps, when
her broom turned over a little bunch of
dry leaves. under which she discovered
two rolls of bills, a silver quarter of a
dollar and a silver pencil. One roll
contains $50 in bills, mostly on State
banks of Massachusetts there are,
however, two $5 bills on Eastern Ban
gor; one $40 note of the Confederate
Bank of Richmond, Virginia one 25-
cent scrip of the corporation of Win
chester, Virginia; one So on the Ex-
change Bank of Philadelphia I'm
peso ell Blanco Nacional, Rio de la
Plata. In the other roll there is scrip
as follows: Five cents, Veazie; 25 cents
Salt Lake City; SO cents, Monroe, La;
and United States scrip two 3 cents,
two cents and one 10 cents. Besides
this there is halfdollar, 81 and 81
bill of the old continental money.
Then there is good modern silver
quarter, and silver pencil and gold
pen. The finder has no clew what
ever as to the owner of this queer col
lection, nor as to how it happened to be
left at her door. 1t seems probable
that this is the collection Of some nu-
mismatist : that thief stole it, and,
finding it of no value, disposed of it as
above.

LIEUT.. GOV. 8. d: McENERY.

Gov. Wilt, it is stated, will re- occupy
the Executive chair in a few days, i'm
proved in health by his Western tour.
This, we know, is welcome news to
Acting Governor McEnery, and we
anticipate his return home and cxemp-
ton from the perplexing and raspine
duties of the Executive with pleasure,
since freedom from the cares of State
can but give him real solid rest and
place him at home among ncighbors
and friends. Els duties, however,
arduous and trying as they have been,
have been discharged with fidelity, a
clear perception. of right and manli-
ness and independence which must
command the admiration of the people.
He may have erred-as who does not :?
but "Old Sam" has not swung, pen
dulum-like, loose in the political at
mosphere, nor lost sight of fixed plan
for the restoration of honest State gov
eminent.

and people through our city limits.
Here, is an item not without solid
comfort to the people of Camden, and
of prospective interest to the people OF
Monroe and those living between Mon
roe and Camden, west of the Onachita.
We copy from the Globe Democrat OF
st. Louis, OF. the 18th:
LITTLE Rock, ARK, Aug. 3.-The
contract for building the Iron Noun
tain Railway branch from Gurdon
station to Camden, Ark, in the direc'
ton of Monroe, La, has been let to
Vaudeville, Bowling & Co. Work
commences next Monday. The road
is expected to be completed by the end
of the year.
The extension of this road west of
the Ouachita would reach Monroe
within a distance of 40 miles, and
would pass through fertile and popu-
lous country, which still has room,
however, for five hundred thousand
people. From this place, south to
Alexandria, where connection would
be made with the New Orleans Pacific,
the distance is about eighty-tive miles,
or less. Thus, by building road not
exceeding 225 miles in length, st. Louis
and New Orleans would be united by
a railroad passing over country
where the local traffic would be prof.
table, and the two cities would have
line of communication in every way
INDEPENDENT of the railway combina.
ttons so frequent and annoying east OF
the Mississippi. We do not regard the
proposed route, however, as having
the advantages of the road projected
from this place to Pine Bluff. But it
would not be at all unreasonable, nor
prove an unsafe venture for capitalists
to build both roads, in which under
taking, they may rely with certainty
upon the support and aid of the people
interested in either, or both of the
roads proposed. Their interests do
not conflict, except SO far as rivalry
might effect the early completion OF
one or the other road first, and this
rivalry would be no mean factor In
speedily establishing both roads on a
permanent basis.

GENERAL WEAVER.

Montgomery Advertiser.l
General Weaver, the Greenback candi-
date for President, in his letter Of &C.
ceptance, invokes united action to
establish, amongst other things, i" the
pure Republicanism of Abraham Lin
coin and Thaddeus Stevens"
Here is what General Dick Taylor
says of Stevens ~
<sYhaddeus Stevens received me with
as much civility as he was capable Of.
Deformed in body and temper like CAL
iban, this was the Lord Hateful of the
fair, but he was frankness itself. He
wanted no restoration of the Union
under the Constitution, which he called
a worthless bit of old parchment. The
white people of the south ought never
again to be trusted with power, for they
would unite with the Northern copper
heads, and control the government.
The only sound policy was to confiscate
the lands and divide them among the
negroes, to whom, sooner or later, suf-
frage must be given. Had the
leading traitors been strung up well; but
the time for that had passed. Here
thought he looked lovingly at my neck ,
etc., He concluded by saying that it
was silly to refuse me permission to
visit Jefferson Davis, but he would not
state so publicly, as he had no desire
to relieve johnson of responsibility. -

THE CAMPAIGN IN NEW YORK.

The Democrats of New York are
thoroughly organized and working
with all the energy inspired by strong
hopes of success. The following en-
courageing account Is given by the Sun,
which, by the way, is supporting Han
cock with all of it's ability and great
influence
The headquarters of the Democratic
State Committee were visited yester-
day by Democrats from many counties
in the State. They report that the can
vass in their respective localities is we'll
under way. The letters received by
the committee give encouraging news
Gen. Lester B. Faulkner, Chairman of
the committee, said yesterday: 'eThe
committee has completed a decided
plan of work and perfected the details
for putting it into operation. That
there are more Democratic than Re-
publican electors in the State cannot
be questioned. A full poll of the DEM
ocrats will always secure the State.
The committee have labored to get out
such vote, and to that end a thorough
canvass will be made OF every election
district in the State. That canvass is
now in progress. The correspondence
of the commettee is unusually large for
this stage of the canvass, and its tone
is indicative of the feeling Of confidence
in Hancock's election which every
where exists among the masses Of the
party. The demand for documents,
newspapers and speakers is unprece-
dented. A doubling New York Dem
ocrat is something which does not exist
in this campaign. From every region
names of Republicans are received
who declare for Hancock, and in many
instances these Republican converts
are actively engaged in pushing the
work of the Hancock canvass. This is
very largely the case among Repub-
lican soldiers, who announce their
intention to no longer be made cats
paws Of by Republican politicians. So
far, not single Garfield Democrat has
| been reported to the committee. The
party is united and solid for Hancock
and English, and old bitternesses have
given way to a vigorous and earnest
strife as to who shall do most for their
election. No SIX ulkers or indictments
are reported from any quarter"

INVENTIONS YEARS AGO.

COmmeting ON an editorial which
recently appeared In this paper, the
Sugar Planter furnishes us with the
annexed statement of facts which we
have read with pleasure, being bits of
history we had forgotten, and with
sadness, in memory of those who are
not, but were twenty-one years ago:
Our worthy contempory, in the
course of his remarks, refers to u con-
vention he attended in company. with
the editor of this paper some twenty
or more years ago. 1t was in March,
1859, and not in 1857 as he supposes.
The call for that convention was gem
orally signed by the press members
throughout the State, but roll call
showed only the following editors pres
ent J A. Warner, Democrat, Avoy-
Giles ]. M.iTaylor, Baton Rouge Advo.
cate w. p. Bradburn, Gazette & Sen.

and Dan bennett, Planters Banner, St.
Mary; g. w. Mechanic, Southern
Times, Jackson; and q. A.Pike, Gazette
Il Comet, Baton Rouge. OF that mum
Der, Warner, Taylor, Bradburn, Roy
and Bard have gone to their last homes,
while Gusman, Pike and bennett have
withdrawn temporarily we hope) from
the profession. The Planter and the
Advocate are the only two papers now
living which were represented In that
convention.
Our contemporary errs, we think, in
assigning Mr.. Warner to the Demo-
crat of Avoyelles; it should read
Rapides, as he then edited the Louis
lana Democrat Of the last named par
ish.
