In reply to this idotic bcribbler, if
any reply to such stuff is needed, We
quote the following from a letter
written TO The Presbyterian, Of Phlla

paper, by the late Rev ID. X Junkin,
d. d., in September, 1873 II is the
voluntary tribute Of that distinguished
minister of the Gospel to the personal
character Of General Hancock. Dr..
Junkin says
"General Hancock, whose guest /

penned, Is, as you know, a Pennsylya,
nian of the Pennsylvanians. Born
near TO your city Cat Montgomery

Pennsylvania. His fame needs no

pure as his military career has been
brilliant and his civil record magnan.

The Name Judges Opinion.

The supreme court of Maine. instead of
answering directly the questions put by
Gov. Garcelon, steps aside and delivers an
essay on the beauties of Republican rule,
as exemph6ed in Maine. and had the
opinion been written by Blaine it could
not have better served his purpose or
more closely followed his expressions. The
more infinitely the opinion is examined
the clearer becomes the conviction that
the supreme judges followed their partisan
leanings rather than their legal Judgment
Had the judges confined their opinion to
the direct questions Of Garcelon, instead
of going beyond the governors request, it
would have given more weight to the
opinion, even though the same had been
different from what Governor Garcelon
and his council were led to expect from
the previous decisions of these same judi
ges on questions involving the same points
of law precisely, as those submitted by
Garcelon. When the present excitement
cools. and judgment rules In place of pas
sion; fair minded men will consider the
opinion of the Maine judges in the proper
light, and with the reaction must come
the conviction that the ruling was clearly
made in the interest of the Republican
party and not in the spirit which actuates
an honest opinion founded on law and JUS

At the county election in Lee county ID
November last the combined opposition to
the Republican party elected man nam
ed Edwards as county treasurer. There
was no questioning his election, SO thar
he could pos be counted out in that man
ner, The ingenuity of thekRepublican
managers was not wasted. however, and SO
q "technicality" was resorted to, and a
flaw in his bond was discovered which was
sufficient for q Republican board of sup
ervisors to act on, and with true party in
stinct they took the hint, and by refusing to
accept Edwards bond he was denied pos
ession of the Office to which he was elected
and for which the Dixon SIM claims he
furnished ample bonds for the faithful
performance of the duties OF the same.
Another election has just been held. and
after most closely contested contest be
tween Edwards on.one side and Mr.. Little,
Republican,lth latter wasls elected by %
majority. The Dixon San. commenting
on the result says:

As poor q man as Mr.. Edwards. and he
never would have been put on the track,
and if he had been, the election returns
would scarcely have indicated that he was
a candidate-not on account of unpopular
ity-but on account of the position he
allowed himself TO assume in the contest,
Mr. Little has right to feel ashamed of
his success. al

What 1t Means.

The New York Sun thinks that Grant 5
managers care to admit, and charges that
his visit is in the interest of several o! the
''old crowd" who made his administrations
odlous. The San says:
Gen. Grant tells his friends, after re-
turning from a costly tour around the
world, that his fortune is limited, and that
ne needs some .employmeBt with a suffi-
cie0t income to be easy 10 his present mode
of lite. Under such circumstances most
prudent people would be apt TO husband
their actual resources, and not to indulge
N expensive tastes or caprices likely to
diminish their capital.
But Gen. Grant continues to travel in a
priDcely style. not because his state of
health requires it, but,a is alleged merely
20 crafty an unsatisfied desire. He is
now going to Mexico. What tor2
1t is we'll known that Boss Shepherd
aud other special friends of Grant are
interested in mining ventures in Mexico
and that some of these squatters and ad
venturers claim to have secured valuable
concessions, or to be tho owners of rich
mines. with titles to be made good by
annexation.
All these facts have certain siguifi-
canoe in connection with this visit to Mex
leo.
x
The number and the character of peo-
pie who secretly gamble in stocks would
astound the country if the list could be
published. This vice is growing daily.
Gen. Grant chooses this particular time,
with two objects in view: First. to divert
attention from the scandalous methods by
which the presidency was stolen, and,
secondly, to serve ring of jobbers who
wanted to stealI Mexican territory and
mines.
The public know what Grant did when
president for eight years. The public
know by whom Grant was surrounded dur.
ing his two terms. The public know that
Landaulet Williams. after being caught
with his arms in the treasury, was nomin-
ated by Grant for chief justice; that Della
no was retained in the cabinet long after
his corruption was notorious; that Robe
son, though proved to have been a venal
trafhcker in jobs, was still kept at the head
