In th0 OfUef Oh lJeCenDef ., 1907, re-
voking General Sheridan's order rcia-
tive to the qualifications of jurors, Gen.
Hancock says:
sTo determine who shall and who
legislative power, and until the laws
in existence regulating this subject
shall be amended or changed by that
department of the civil government
which the constitutions of ali the States
under our republican system vest with
that power, It Is deemed best to carry
out the will OF the people as expressed
in the last legislative act on this sub
ject. The qualification of juror under
the law is n proper subject for the deci-
sion OF the courts. The commanding
General, in the discharge of the trust
reposed In him, will maintain the just
power Of the Judiciary and Is unwill-
ing to permit the civil authorities and
laws to be embarrassed by military in
reference"
In another order relative to civil con-
troversies, General Hancock says:
"The rights OF litfeants do not de-
pend ON the views of the General. They
arc to be judged and settled according
to the laws. Arbitrary power, such as
no has been urged to assume, has no
existence here. 1t is not found in the
laws of Louisiana or Texas. 1t cannot
be derived froM any act or acts of Con-
gfess. 1t ts restrained by a constitution
ana prohibited from action In many
particulars. Tho Major General com
mRndlng takes occasion to repeat that,
whlie dtsclaiming judicial functions ia
civil cases, he can suffer no forcible re-

him during his administration of IN,

upon civil and personal rights in this
or any other country or age. His
views Of personal liberty aud of the
rights Of property, protected and fos.
tered by organized law, are too strong
to be repressed by the crust and exte-
rior Of military etiquette, and, like the
swelling bud, burst into full and per-
feet bloom. And, best Of all, he pos
sessed tho sterling moral courage and
manhood to put his conceptions of
right into practice and thus render
happy and prosperous during his ad-
ministration the people who had been
ground into the dust by tho iron heel
Of military despotism. 1t was this
magnanimity Of the great soldier, this
chivalrous consideration for the rights
of those whilom enemies who had sur
rendered and were devoting themselves
energctically and hopefully to the re-
construction OF their fortunes shattered
by the chances of war, which won COM
pleteIy the hearts and affections OF the
people over whose dcstinies llo was
called to preside. 1t was these acts
which first induced the editor of the
TELEGRAPH 10 give in his adhesion to
the support Of General Hancock during
his military administration of the
States of Louisiana and Texas, with q
firm confidence that the General who
had so resisted the temptations to ex-
ercise arrogantIy the military power
with which he was clothed and so sc.
cured the peace and prosperity Of those
whom he governed, would, ultimately
and in due season, receive from tho
hands of the down-trotltlen people
whom he had befriendesa in their hou,
Of adversely, the honor and distinction
in their gift to bestow.
1t was this thorough and enduring
faith In the ability, integrity and honor
of the man, which made him one OF
the first, If not the first, TO advocate
the nomination Of Winfield Scott Han
cock for the Presidency in tho columns
of the OUACHITA TELEGRAPH in the
issue of May 9Th, 1868, and, as one OF
Louisiana's delegates in the Democratic
Convention of that year, induced him
to support him, as long as possible, as
the Democratic candidate for President
of the United States. We make the

THE rELEaRAPH.s ADVOCACY OF
GEN. HANCOCK FOR PRESIDENT.

The people of Louisiana and Texas
became acquainted with Gen. Winfield
s. Hancock personally and ofacially
upon the occasion Of his succeeding
General Sheridan in the fall Of 1867 In
the command of the Fifth Military
District, with headquarters at New
Orleans. General Sheridan's adminis-
tration of the affairs of this Military
District had given serious offence by
reason Of the PRONUNCIATION of military
orders which alarmingly invaded the
well settled civil rights aud privileges
of citizens Of the United States resid.
ing within his Jurisdiction. The mill.
tary authority was made the paramount
law Of the department. and subordi-
mated to it the civil authority OF the
States of Louisiana and Texas. Un.
scrupnlous imported politicians, we'll
acquainted with these military predl.
lections of the General, used him for
tho promotion of their own base poiiti-
cal purposes. BY military orders he
changed and prescribed the qualiflca-
tions of jurors in this State, interfered
with the administration of justice,
civil and criminal, and demeanei HIM
self generally towards citizens In a
manner subversive of the Fundamental
rights aud privileges of constitutional
law. .ra4S3 ...,
He was removed. General Hancock
became his successor. On the Goth of
November, 1867, he issued to the peo-
pie of Louisiana and Texas General
Orders No. 40, In which he announced
those great principles of civil law
which would govern his official action,
inclusive of the following: - .
value of property in the different iDs0aal
tions of the State, under article 2O3 O,
the constitution )" but tho needed.
indispensable law to give vitality to
the system Is missing, and hence not q
legal step can be taken In the direction
OF assessing and collecting taxes for the
year 1880.
In view, then, OF this deficiency In
the legislation of the State and of the
obstacles thrown in the way OF the pro-
per collection of the revenue, the neces-
sity and importance of an extra session
OF the General Assembly must be
generally admitted, If for no other Dur.
pose than to adjust these serious diff
hculties which have grown out of in-
sufficient and detective legislation.

The New York Times says: The
hand that was shown in Maine has
been laid bare here. 1t has been long
suspected and is now known that g.
gantic still-hunt is in progress on The
part OF the Democrats throughout the
State. The Democratic meetings are
outnumbered five to one by the Re-
publlcans and the Republicans have
three oratorsou the list where The
Democratshaye one.
This apparent show Of strength has
misled a great many persons, who be-
lioyed that the Democrats had aban-
doned Ohio aud turned their attention
to better-paying fields. On Wednes-
day last Theodore Cook, one Of the
wealthy citizens Of Cincinnati, visited
Columbus with contribution Of $25, =
900, furnished in five equal amounts by
himself, Thomas Sherlock, w. S.
Groesbeck, George Hoadly and one
other gentleman. This money is to be
expended in the First, Second, Third
Fourth congressional districts. Wealthy
Democrats of other portions Of the
State ere expected TO make cores
ponding contributions, and thus the
State is to be carried for Hancock and
English, and Democrats are to be cleo
ed from the four close districts named.

The rejection by the Malone COM
mittee and electors of the generous and
patriotic compromise proposed by the
regular Democratic committee, is proof
positive and conclusive that the Malone
leaders are allies, if not paid assistants,
of the Republican party and we are
sure hundreds and thousands Of the
honest readjusters who have not here
oiore declared their purpose to vote for
the regular Hancock electors, will con-
clude now to do so. They must now
see that the debt question of Virginia
has nothing TO do with the National
contest, and that the Malone leaders
are but assistant republicans, bent on
giving the grand old State of Virginia to
Garfield. The honest yeomanry will
see to IL that no such unholy scheme
shall prevail to bring upon them humili-
alton and modification. = Va. Free Press.

THE doors are still open. The Demo-
Gratis of Shenandoah refuse to be drawn
from the faith of their fathers. They
will vote the regular democratic ticket
and will regulate the alliance. A
number who but a short time ago were
undecided or were acting in close SYM
patty with the Mahoneltes have become
so disgusted by the tone of the boss
in his contemptuous refusal to bring
about a solid Democratic vote IN Virgin
ia, .:and in his open declaration to stick
to his faithful allies, that thew now look
upon the party as one in close alliance
with the Republicans aud will vote the
regular Democratic ticket.

STILL THEY CoME.-We still hear Of
some who came 20 Woodstock last
court day in favor Of the 7th Of Julyars
and went homo in favor of the Han
cock and English ticket. The last case
reported joined the nearest Hancock
and English Club and is now working
for the regular ticket. If we could
prevail on the Mahon,ltes 10 get up
another cavalry squad and march
through town the majority for Han
cock and English might be considerably
increased. The sterling democrats Of
Shenandoah are too firm to be intimi-
dated By such shallow devices.

GOOD FOR Observation-Disclosures
HERALD 1T is said there are one
thousand names enrolled on tie lists
OF the diGeren. Hancock and English
clubs in this county. These voters
will all vote the straight-oat tickct,and
it is fair to presume that this number
will be increased grcatly,and that many
will vote the regulaS ticket who DO not
join clubs. This result was brought
about by work, and if ihe Democrats OF
other counties would do likewise there
would be little to fear from tie assis-
tant Republicans.

THE Mahoneites will find that the
gain Of negro votes will not be a net
gain, for there are some men in the
Malone party who were good Demo
Gratis and as soon rs the first Eastern
wind brings the scent OF the alliance
with negroes, these men will desert
the striped ticket party. Shenandoah
Democrats are not to be barlered for
East Virginia negroes aud the sooner
the Mahoneys realize this fact the
better it will be for them.

The Peoples Plan Of Union
Defeated.

To the Conservative Democracy
Of Virginia.
The democratic and republican par
ties in Virginia, in conformity with
unbroken custom, assembled this year
in State conventions, chose delegates to
the national conventions of their re-
spectiye parties, designated their cleo
toral tickets, and adopted platforms
of principles enunciating their several
views on national affairs.
Those delegates sought and obtain
ed admission into their respective
national conventions, shared the du-
ties thereof, and participated In plac'
ing befOTes aiIss now
challenging pu6n5]eGlIl hthe
presidency and Ylceopresidency OF the
United States.
On the It'll Of July, 1880, several
weeks after both ofthe national con-
yentions had adjourned, and the can
yass on both sides had opened
throughout the UniOn,a State conven>
ton assembled in the city OF Rich =
mond, composed indiscriminately Of
democrats and republicans, OF men
preferring the success Of Garfield, ana
men preferriDg the success Of Hancock,
and of not few whose political con-
yictions set so lightly on their should
ers that they were indifferent whether
they supported either or no ticket at
all.
Only one purpose inspired this
heterogeneous gathering, however
diversified its constitution Ito wit,
the destruction Of the conservative
party by whatever means aud with
whatever allies that end mightbe COM
passed. In this pursuit the republi-
cans only differed from their allies in
that they had been their pioneers for
eleven years in the same desire and
labor.
This convention chose new elec--
toral ticket, and adopted platform OF
principles from which national issues
were studiOusly excluded, they ex-
pressed the opinion that the demacra-
tic candidate would be more likely to
advance these State issues than the
republican, and therefore instructed
their electors 10 support Hancock and
English.
This action, framed and fitted to
antaconize the regular democratic
ticket in Virginia, met with on early
and generous welcome at the hands OF
the republican press and leaders
throughout the Union, beyond the
Commonwealth and has recently res
ceived equal applause from radical
papers within the State, presenting as
i: manifestly did, the most feasible and
effective plan for the loss Of the State
to the democratic party-the COM
mon object of both wings of the July
copyentlon-and for the dissolution Of
that great conservative organization
in Virginia which originally rescued,
and has hitherto preserved, the State
from Radical misrule.
The scheme excited the graveSt APP
prebensiens of the democratic people
of the Commonwealth, who OWNED
the parpose, since openly avowed' by
itsrepublieau supporters to divide the
democratic strength OF Virginia, and
when the gulf became impossible to-
consolidate the republican party and
carry the State. Within the Com
monweallh prudential reasons have
produced a general silence as to this
intent;but the less cautious republican
press of other sta,es-has avowed this
hope and purpose, cchoipg the con-

time.

THE Mahoneys don't blow quite as
hard as they did. They begin to see
the handwriting on the wall and they
well know that they can't sell old
Shenandoah to Malone and his faithful
allies even if they are as black as the

Do any OF the young men, who were

into Do they know that they are now
in a party that pretends to support the
Hancock and English ticket and is in
alliance with Republican negroes ?
They are in a party whose leader OPEN
ly proclaims that they are not standing
on the Democratic platform. They
have meyer got as openly proclaimed
that they are not standing on the Re-
platform. They are IN al
lance with Republicans and have been
leservedly called the Assistant Re-
