The following were the remarks
made by Gen. Hancock at the din
per given to him on the 18th, by the
Manhattan Club of New York:
"Mr. President and gentlemen
who have assembled here tonight
to do me honor, / am no doubt call
ed upon in consequence of the posi-
ton held in the recent candidacy
for the Presidency. L regard my
connection with that subject as
practically closed. j, however, MAN,
tain the principles which l had when
| accepted the nomination of the
Cincinnati convention, and beliey-
ing, as l do, that the enforcement of
those principles would promote the
welfare OF our country, hope to see
them prevail at some future time.
Their success must rest with the
Jeffersonian Democratic party which
is so fully and so ably represented
here tonight. To you / commend
the preservation of that true re-
publicanism on which our fathers
founded the institutions which have
made us so great among nations of
the earth. shall only say in rela-
ton to the political campaign of
1880, that ! have no fault to find
with the behavior of my friends and
nothing to retract or modify con-
corning mere acts or words. /
thank you. gentlemen, most heartily
for the honor and pleasure you have
conferred upon me by this enter
tainment."

LIGHT ON AN OLD MATTER.

| Attention is called to the CORES
pondence, concerning an old matter
which will explain itself. Those
who were acquainted with things
transporting in the Fourteenth Legis'
lature, will remember the hot days
that passed during the dis
cussion of the International rail.
way compromise bill, and they will
also bear in mind that the
course of Hon. ID. u. BarZiza
gave rise to criticism, not fay
orable to him. 1t was limited that
the attack made upon this bill, after
his expressed friendship for the In
ternational enterprise and the COM
promise bill. had been secured
through interests allying themselves
with the Houston & Texas Central
Railway. His action was a surprise
to his friends, who knew the mans
integrity of purpose too well to ques-
tioi- it. The STATESMAN was deeply
interested in seeing the dispute be-
tween the state and the Inter-
national Railway Company set
tied. The road was arrested in its
course towards Austin, and solution
of the disputed point was necessity
for its building towards the west,
while there was deep local interest
manifest during the consideration of
the bill. Mr.. Barziza's changed at
titude towards the company is ex-
planned in the correspondence. He
could not continue to support the
bill, with respect to his own feelings,
and therefore he opposed, as all re-
member, on legal grounds alone.
The day upon which Mr.. Barziza
made his change of front on the bill
was a memorable one in the House.
1t will long be remembered by those
who were there, as involving re-
grets of those who favored
the compromise and the joy OF
those opposing it. A represen-
tative of the STATESMAN was pres
ent, and observed the smouldering
fire within Barziza's breast, that
was in few moments to burst into a
flame before the House. This rep
resentative called upon Mr.. Nc
Lesry. the friend of Barziza, and
asked him To induce Barziza to leave
the Representative Hall, but the
face of our present Auorney-Gen-
eral wore deep expression of sOr-
row, and he said there was no use to
protest against a settled purpose;
that Barziza had concluded as to
his course, and that any effort TO
prevent the coming storm would be
useless. Barzizs rose from his seat
with heavy brow and determined
visage. His Latin blood was
on fire, and the falling OF a pin
could be heard while the audience
contemplated the man. Not more
than four or five of his auditors
knew his intent, but all the rest
saw and wondered at his appearance.
He spoke ten minutes before it was
understood by all where he had fall
len, and then the tongue of calum-
ny began to wag against him.
It is years ago since this
matter transpireS, but all recol-
lect it well. In the meantime

Mr.. BarZiza has allowed the world
to believe as it pleases, only two or
three knowing the real cause of his
course. The International dispute
has been settled, and the road is now
one OF the grandest thoroughfares
in Texas, soon destined to link this
country and Mexico together i'm
bonds of friendship and mutual re-
latiOns. Mr.. Barziza is still alive
and, after enduring for years accusa-
ton and misconception, the STATES
MAN, being entrusted with this cor
respOndence, throwing light ON the
acts of worthy public man, now
does him, through consent, that jus
tice, which results from a public
statement as to the motives govern
ing his action in the matter referred
to-

THE Sunday, in st. Louis, has been
taken in hand by the ladies of that
city, and they are pressing it ener-
getically, having stolen for that pur-
pose the tactics of the Irish Land
League. A petition favoring the
closing of stores, saloons, threatres.
etc-, on Sunday, is being circulated
by them, and all those refusing TO
sign it are placed on the black list
and boycotted." Mayor Overhaltz
is one of the victims and a number
of stores are under the ban, the
ladies dot only refusing to "trade +"
with them, but doing all in their
power to divert their business to
other firms that support their moye-
ment.

Setting in the Fold.

Reverends Talnage and Beecher
are conducting revival meetings.
The former, speaking ofthe 100000
souls that need saving in Brooklyn,
said: ''There Is no monopoly in
religion. Some Christians seem to
think so; seem to think that because
they were baptized at eight months
of age and in the catechism they
have claim to one whole side of
the Lords table. But i tell you
they'll be obliged to draw in their
elbows to make room for others.
This morning l propose to extend
an invitation to everybody. Christ
says that misisters are to be fishers
of men. Now, when | 60 fishing !
don't want to fish in ANYBODY else's
pond"
Mr.. Talmage then proceeded to
cast his lines for two kinds of fish
which he denominated indifferent
church-goers" and mistaken scep-
tics" To the latter class he
could, he said, address himself
with much feeling and sympathy,
for he had at one time been hard
shell sceptic himself He had been
born q natural sceptic and thought
the first word which escaped his in
FAINT lips must have been 'Why ?"
He was, however, now in the fold,
and wanted everyone else to be
there. He turned his eyes to the
gallery-in which portion of the
building he seemed to suspect the
presence of sceptcs, and exclaimed:
won't you, won't you try this feb
rifuge, this solaoe, this anodyne, this
Gospel medicine?" In concluding
his discourse Mr.. Talmage suddenly
followed his hand around his ear
and cried: "What was that? l heard
something fall. All! it was the bars
of the sheepfold. See now at the
gap how the sheep are pouring in.
Some are stuck all oyer with briars
and many are lame from the bites
of the dogs, but, thanks be to God,
all are getting in."

THE talk at Washington now i,
that an extra session of Congress is
inevitable. Prominentmen who OPP
posed it few days since say now
thatit is necessary. Morton, who has
been appointed Minister to France,
has declared that he will not vacate
his seat in the House until after'the
new body is organized. Mr.. Gar
field would avoid it, but he is swing
ing around in political vortex, from
which there is no escape. He will
have to follow the manipulators.

THE United States consul at Vera
Cruz has recently furnished the State
department with some information
about cotton worms. He shows
clearly that the cotton worm in Mex
leo is the same insect as that which
proves so destructive in this country,
IL has been thought by many that
the cotton caterpillars which invade
Texas come from Mexico. He shows
that even If this be true, the Mex
lean fields are themselves invaded b,
hordes of insects coming from still
further south-from Yucatan and
Central America. That southern
Mexico is the home of this insecl
seems proved. however, it having
existed thus from the earliest period
when cotton was cultivated, more
than six centuries ago.

THERE are those who would
have the law, relating to the build
ing of the State Capitol, so changed
as to give employment to land bu-
reau, with agencies to draw good
salaries, to be paid out of the lands,
and probably to gather in nice per-
quisites. The law has stood the
scrutiny of good judges, and they
have pronounced it an admirable
one. 1t is known that it will build a
State Capitol on the plan, which high
ly approved by the Governor and
other careful, considerate men, but
it does not provide for enough
place-men, with good pay, and hence
there are those who point out rea-
sons why the law should be doctored.
The physic might prove drastic
dose to the state. Therefore, we
say. let a good law alone, and pro-
vide nothing more than means to put
it I'm force.
