TIE LETTERS OF ACCEPTANCE.-The letters Of
Gen. Hancock and VIM. FL. English, accepting,
respectively, the democratic nominations of
President and Vice President. are to-day the
theme OF considerable gossip In the several eX-
ecutlVe departments OF the government. As to
the sentiments expressed touching them 1t de-
pends altogether upon the political feelings of
th0Se with whom one speaks. The republicans
generally admit that Hancocks letter is
strong one and breatheS views far i'm advance
OF the bourbon element OF democracy; yet they
say that it fails to treat Of the great financial
question, and is remarkable letter not In what
II does say. but In what it falls to say. The
English letter invited a good deal more criti-
cism, and Is looked upon by republicans as a
genuine old fashioned democratic fusilade, The
theory with many is, that owing TO Hancock'S
position Ia the army he didn't care to write
more elaborate card but that he delegated
that duty to the tail OF the ticket and endorses
all that the Vice Presidential nominee has to
say. The democrats generally are Delighted
with the letter. 1t is regarded as short enough
TO De sweet, ard emphatic enough for all pur-
poses. Some OF the southern Stalwarts are in
clined to think it a little 100 emphatic. espe-
C1ally so as 10 the enforcement OF the war
amendments to the Constitution. The opinion
IS decided that Hancock went as far as he did
IN respect 10 these amendments On the theory
that the south would vote for him anyhow, and
that he had his eyes solely On the northern
democracy When he wrote it.
