HOW GEN. HANCOCK THINKS
Commenting on the assault on the Pres-
dent Gen. Hancock said to a reporter:
"It was assuredly the act of lunatic, or
of man driven into crazed condition by
politics. The latter is probably the true de-
scription of his condition. 1t is the natural
result of strong political feeling-in other
words, of political faction; it is the out
come of the state of affairs which has been
developing in the country through factional
animosity. There minds so constituted
and naturally excitable, which when worked
upon by passion and intense feeling, are driven
into this condition. This man is evidently of
that class. 1t would be absurd to suppose
that he was at all connected with any one
else-in other words, that there was any con-
spracy. The man acted on his own respon-
sibility. His mind was unbalanced and the
result was natural. In the case of the assas-
sination of Lincoln, excitement had been run
ming high upon the issues of the war, and the
Southern people were embittered, yet Booth
acted on his own responsibility, although his
act was the outgrowth the excitement of the
time"
DO you think this act is possibly phase
of Nihilism p
II know nothing about it. I have paid no
attention to the question. l do not suppose
it is anything of the kind, although have
no opinion to express upon the matter. Nj
hilism rises from peculiar conditions, and

AS will be seen by our dispatches,
the trustees of the Cincinnati Southern
Railroad on Saturday accepted the bid
of Fred Wolfe, Financial Manager of
the Alabama Great Southern Railroad
and of the Erlanger syndicate, for the
lease Of the road. As to the probable
action of Colonel E. w. Cole, whose bid
was next to Wolffe's, in case his own was
refused, the Cincinnati 1vnaes-Stdr of
Saturday says:
Colonel E. W. Cole, President of the
E. T., Va. & Ga. Railroad, arrived in
the city this morning In company with
his Secretary, w. w. McKoun. and the
attorney of the road, Colonel Julius L.
Brown.
"They registered at the Grand Hotel,
and soon after their arrival consulta-
ton was held between these gentlemen
and Colonel t. G. Campbell, the attorney
for the line of roads at this point, and
the proposed lease of the Southern Road
was discussed in all its bearings. The
claims of Colonel Cole the attorneys con-
sidered good and fully decided to
take the matter into court if
the Erlanger bid was accepted.
They would, however, compromise by
allowing one-third of the stock to be
held by some Cincinnati company, one
third by the changers and one-third by
Colonel Cole, and this could be done by
a mutual agreement between the parties
interested. If, however, the Erlanger
bid was accepted, they would never be
permitted to close the contract. An in
junction would be allowed and the rights
Of the East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia would be maintained in the
courts"

An IMPENDING PANIC. - The Wal
Street Ners of Friday says: at looks
very much as if the market is getting
ripe for a further severe break, and it
will probably not be long before it oc-
ours. The Bank of England did not
raise its rate yesterday, but borrowers
there had to pay per cent. for money
on consols, and it is not probable the
bank will loan long for less than what
other lenders can obtain. The bad crops
in Great Britain and the low state of the
bullion reserve in the Bank of England
may precipitate panic there at any day,
in which case our securities, both gov
eminent and corporate, would be re-
turned to us here in immense quaint
ties"

The tax of one-half per cent. on
monthly sales of merchandise, against
which Mexican merchants are protesting
most vehemently, is a rather heavy exac-
ton. 1t would seem possible TO raise
the desired revenue by means less likely
to excite opposition. The successful ma
tional financier draws money from the
pockets Of the masses without suspic-
ion on the part of most of them that
they are being taxed.

New York Senators cannot be admitted

being made to their admission, they can
be kept out of their seats until the Senate
is satisfied that they were lawfully elected
