The Great Equestrian Race.

The Pioneer Press gives the fol-
lowing account of the close of the
great race of Tuesday:
AS. Miss Cook came down the
stretch at the conclusion of her
seventh mile she had difficulty in
stopping her horse, and the Mime
sota girl was close behind her. Mr..
Paul, the husband of Miss Cook,
endeavored to assist her, and Jump
ing forward caught her horse by the
bride, threw him back on his
launches suddenly, and the horse
fell fiat upon his side, carrying the
noble little woman with him. For
just a moment there was an indis-
criminate mixture of horse, man and
woman mixed upon the track. One
moment Of breathless surprise and
horror, when the gallant little woman
rose from the wreck and sprang into
the saddle with the agility of an an
telope amid the tumultuous cheers
Of the vast multitude.
Miss Jewett had taken advantage
of the brief delay occasioned by this
accident, changed without delay, and
was half way to the quarterpole be-
fore Miss Cook was again on her
track. Now Miss Cook gained on
her opponent rapidly, and it was APP
parent to all that Miss Jewett was
having some kind of trouble. The
two passed the quarter-pole nearly
neck-and-neck, and a moment later
Miss Jewett's horse was discovered
galloping down the bacff stretch
ridcrless!
An accident had happened! and
there was five minutes terrible sus-
pense, while the crowd within the
track surged forward toward the
spot where Miss Jewett lay stretched
upon the track prone and helpless.
Five minutes elapsed, and carriage
drove down to the judges stand
containing Miss Jewett. She was
carried into the judges stand, and
Col. King announced that, while it
was hoped Miss Jewctt was not bad
ly hurt, she was badly bruised and
sprained, and it would be impossible
for her to win the race. He then
asked if the crowd demanded of
Miss Cook that she continue the
race. A universal "No!" was the
response, and as Miss Cook came
down the track on her tenth mile
she was saluted with tumultuous
cheers, and Col. King announced
her as the winner of the race.
Miss Cook dismounted immedi-
atcly, and entered the judges stand,
STOPPING over Miss Jewett and kiss
ing her affectionately, expressed the
hope that her injuries were not seri-
Gus. The injured lady was then
taken below, placed in carriage
and driven to her hotel, accompa.
MED by her father and mother.
Miss Jewett's accident was caused
by the bungling manner in which
her horse had been saddled. She
stated to her attendants that she felt
1.-THE saddle turning when she was
first seated, and tried to balance
herself 80 az to prevent the catas
trophe, but a sudden Iurch of the
horse threw her weight upon The
stirrup and the saddle turning com
|pletely over precipitated her to the
Iground.
This brought the race to an un
timely end, amid the regrets Of all
i Miss Jewett had fully. an equa
'tchance with Miss Cook when the &C
Fcident happened, and deserves, a
'Eshe receives, the cordial sympath,
of all.

HOLLOW ENrHUsIAsM.

The nomination of General HANCOCK by
the democratic party means, under the
guise Of loyalty and devotion to the union,
the restoration and ascendancy of that cluss
and that system against which our valiant
soldiers strovo, and the placing of the hard
earned fruits of the battlefield at the dspo-
sitiou Of the vanquished, The north can
not be misled by it, The insincority of his
nomination will be manifest to the ntelli-
gent and patriotic voters of the union
History presents no spectacle of incousis-
tency more remarkable than that which is
now presented to US by the southern por-
ton of our republic. A nation, rs it were
which had for their end the overthrow and
the destruction Of system to which it was
ardently attached, History, we repeat
fails to present n parallel TO this. How
hollow must be the enc comiums layished
upon brilliant military hero of the north
by our southern lellow-citizens How eau
they heartily applaud the drawing Of his
sword in defense Of popular liberty and

GEN. HANCOCK AND MRS. sURKATI

GEN. HANCOCK AND MRS. SURRATT.
We are in receipt of several communica-
tions which allude consciously to the part
General HANCOCK bore in the conviction
and execution Of Mrs. SURRATT with state
ments in effect that the catholics will not
support him for the presidency on that ac-
count Be that as it may, we care not.
The catholics can and will follow their own
sense Of duty under the circumstances, but
so far as THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN is
cDncerned it cannot be made party to any
crusade that may be pushed against Cen
eral HANCOCK ON that account He
simply discharged his duty as an officer
of the government in the part he
bore on that trial and in executing
the Judgment Of the court, and we
cannot consent now because he has been
nominated for the presidency by party to
which we are opposed, to censure an act
that was approved by all loyal men at the
time it was committed. We shall oppose
General HANCOCK for the reason that he
trains with the enemies of his country now
and not because he discharged his duty
fearlessly during the war. We hope, there.
fore, that our friends will not trouble us
with any more communications of censure
upon General HANCOCK on account of hi,
connection with the SURRATT drama, as il
| is termed.

HANCOCK who is to prevail in thisstruggle,
if at all, but the baneful principles which
have disturbed the peace and marred The
harmony of this country ever since the es-
tablishment of the federal constitution.
The election of General HANCOCK wLdld
signify another generation of sectional con-
troversy-the continued clashing of two
opposing systems of political doctrine, one
of which must eventually yield forever.
The north never would be calm under the
chatting administration of a restored and
defiant south General HANCOCK in the
White House would mean the enactment
and administration of our laws by men
who for moro than half century have
sought by every artifce to disrupt the
union. Our country abroad would be rep
resented by the very men who few years
ago were fervently praying the interposi-
tion of France and England in our civil
war. Our noble army and invincible navy
would be committed to the guidance of
inimical superiors.
HANCOCK is but puppet. As soldier
he has been success, as statesman he
would prove an utter failure. He has no
qualifications for the highest Office in the
gift of the people. Bred to the camp, he
would be n nonentity and mere tool in
the hands Of his party. The democracy
have played we'll, but their object is too
patent The south cares nothing per Sc for
HANCOCK and his record, but for fifteen
long years they have been vainly awaiting
day of reckoning--a time when they
shall accomplish by means of the ballot
what they failed to effect with the bayonet
But we have faith in the sturdy patriot
ism of the great mass of our countrymen
From Maine to California the hypocrtical
professions of an uniaithful party will
surely meet with just condemnation. A
solid north will claim this country i'll No
vembernext, and give us generation more
of national progress, prosperity and peace

tractive 10 the thoughtful men who toll in
