Figures worth Considering.
New York SUI

The Garfield Republicans have
not the slightest hope oficarrylng a
single Southern State. This assures
13S el.ctoraLvo votes to Gen. Hancock.
He will need only54T electoral votes
in the Northern States to complete
the requisite majority of 185, Where
can he get them? aai5d our
The States of Pennsylvania, New
Jersey, New York and Connecticut
cast ~ votes, namely Pennsylvania,
20; New Jersey, 9; New York, 50;
Connecticut, 6. On a straight pull
between the two parties, New Jersey
and New York are decidedly Demo
cratic, and Connecticut usually in
clines in that direction, while Penn
sylvania has been disposed to go
Republican. In. the spirited contest
of 1876, New York gave Tilden and
Hendricks a majority of $4,000, New
Jersey q majority of $4,000, and
Connecticut a majority of 1900; but
Pennsylvania went for Hayes by a
majority of 1890.
Under ordinary circumstances,
these four states might be expected
to vote in November next rs they did
four years ago. Even shchta result
would more than suffice to elect Han
c ick and English, for New Jersey,
New York and Connecticut cast fifty
votes, which is three more than the
the Democratic candidates will need
with .he whole vote of the South.
But. with Gen. Hancock at the
head of the ticket, the circumstances
are not of an ordinary character rs
far as these four States are concern
ed. There are now living in Penn.
sylvania, New Jersey, New York and
Connecticut at least two'Ihundred
thousand voters who served with
Gen. Hancock in the Army of the
Potomac, while tens of thousands o.
them, first and last, served under
him.. The two hundred thousand
have been with him in manga battle
for the preservation of the Union
and the tens of thousands have seer
him, sword in hand, fighting shoul
der to shoulder with them in the
thickest press. With Gen. Hancoch
backed by the united Democracy o.
these four states, the probability
that the extra soldier vote will prove
ample to maintain the Democratic
maiorities of 1876 in the three states
that went for Tilden, and to cap
ture the 5000 votes in Pennsylvania
which are needed to turn that State
over to Hancock, must be admitted
to be reasonably strong.
But we have overlooked Indiana
aud its Is electoral votes, which were
cast for Tilden and Hendricks foul
years ago. The State naturally in
t%clines to the Democracy. The Gin
%cinnati Convention has strengthen
ed the ticket by placing William II
English upon it as the candidate fol
Vice President. He is n of thu
ablest and most popular men in thu
State and his name will most likel,
secure it to the Democrats in thu
prelimary election in October, jus
as Hendricks secured it in 1876
This will render the triumph 0
Hancock and English in Novembe
by a handsome majority both natu
raj and easy.

One brilliant Republican scribe,
thinking to break the force of Gen
eral Hancock's Louisiana order, sug-

enough order yet Judge Black wrote
it. The following from Judge Black
himself does not seem to bear out the
astute invention:
WASHINGTON, November 80, 1867.
My DEAR GENERAL:-This mo
ment 1 read your admirable order.
l am much engaged but 1 cannotr
sist the temptation to steal time
enough from my clients to tell you
how grateful you have made me by
your patriotic and noble behavior.
Yours is the first, most distinct and
most emphatic recognition. which
the principles of American4liberty
have received at the hands of anv
high officer in q Southern command.
1t has the very ring Of the Revolu-
tionary metal. Washington never
said q thing in better taste or better
time. 1t will prove to all men that
"Peace hath her victories not less
renowned than those of war;" 1 con-
graduate you not because it will
make you the most popular mar in
America, (for l dare say you care
nothing about that), but because it
will give you through all time the
solid reputation of a true patriot and
sincere lover of your country, its
laws and its government. This, add

soreness and dissatisfaction over the

teach the ringsters a lesson. 1t was
