Gen. Hancock Receiving the News of

Captain Burritt, Of the Sunday

her in which General Hancock re-
ceiyed the news Of his defeat four
years ago: Which one of the candi-
dates for the presidency, we wonder,
will take his defeat as quietly as did
Gen. Hancock? His wife, who told
the story to the writer, says that Oh
the night Of the election he went to
bed at 7 o'clock, utterly worn out.
When she begged him not to retire
so early, as there would be some one
who would want to see him that
night he said emphatically: Il cam

So he retired and slept so soundlY
that when his wife, who stayed up
to hear the news, went to bed she
didn't disturb him, nor'did he awake
until five o'clock next morning,
when Mrs. Hancock, havinga cough

her # she had heard and news. She
said she had: 1T is Waterloo for

A Solid Enforcement.

1t is evident that the business men Of New
York want the President continued in Office.
In tho expression of their wishes in this par
tlcular they represent the business sentiment
of the country at large.
Tho enormous mass meeting of conserva-
tive, thinking mon at Cooper institute last
night is Of the deepest significance. 1t is q
proclamation Of belief in great and evident
truth-that the material interests of the
country are antagonistic to change in tho
administration Of tho general govern
ment. Tho business men Of the Ameri-
can metropolis do not profess to mo-
nopolize all the wisdom in tho country, but
they have n right to lay claim to share of it,
and their opinions will have great weight.
Whom they announce with unmistskable
emphasis that they are satisfied with Presi-
dent Arthur's administration, aud want more
of it, the people will be disposed to listen.
The multitude that illod Cooper institute
meant business. Its Endorsement of Presi-
dent Arthur was not a sentimental outburst.
1t was the sober, thoughtful expression OF
men of brains aud Of men of action.

virginia s,rnightouts at Chicago.

The author of the following lettor, which
was addressed to tho Now York Tribune, but
denied place in its columns, is vouched for
by an old time republican and one of the
most respected and influential men In his
part of Virginia:
TO THE EDITOR OF THE TRIBUNE: You say "In
case the straightout delegation is admit ted from
Virginia, the vote of that state instead of being
for'Blaine Is likely to BIO a."
Mr. Editor in case the straghtouts are admitted
in the convention and the regular republicans
are rejected, the vote for tho republican electors
Of Virginia will be about 10000 or $4,000. instead
of 10000 or 10000. II the Blaine men in the CON
vention want to commit suicide let them admit
the stra!ghtout delegates from Virginia.
l do not understand why the Tribune should
give tho straightout faction aid aud comfort. The
Tribune knows that they have boon working with
the bourbon party; that Gen; Wickham accepted
senate of Virginia, and was elected by the bour.
bon votes, and acted with the bourbon5 Ill MI
their outrages against tho people of Virginia.
Gen. Wickham showed in his testimony before
sympathy was with the bourbons In their murders
and massacre of coored men of Danville.
There is no better way to Judge party than by
what You see and know OF II in your own ueigh; ,

Sarcastic Mr., MacXenuh,

Mr.. Wayne MacVeagh has written another
letter. Like all other letters of his with
which the public has been favored of late
years, it was apparently written for no pur.
pose on earth except to display his own bad
humor. The object of his venom on this
occasion is the President, and the screed is
addressed to the writer's old co.laborer, BEN
jamin F. Bristow.
Like all narrow-souled men Mr.. MacVeagh
cannot forgive any one who has been sue.
cessful by virtue of his own exertions. He
has never achieved distinction in that way
himself, and naturally does not believe
in it. Beginning life humbly Mr.. Mac
Veagh strobe into prominence by the
high road Of matrimony, and main
an eminent father-in-law until unreasoning
fate brought about combination Of events
which elevated him to a place in Garfelds
cabinet. An equally unreasoning fate sent
Garfield to his grave and returned Mr.. Mac
Veagh to tho son-in-law business, where he
has since remained nursing his i'll humor
and raving at all success won by honest
effort.
1t is perhaps natural that the irony of
events should make such a man sarcastic. 1t
is not surprising that he should sneer at
success, at the methods by which it was
achieved, and at the men who achieved it |;
that he should SEQ nothing to approve in
what is, or is to BIO, aud little in what has
been and finally, that ho should express
his dissatisfaction is matter of no conse-
quence.

POLITICAL NOTES.

Burton G. Cook, one of the Illinois dele
gates at large, looks confidently for the nomi-
nation of Senator Logan to the presidency.
He believes that Logan has more strong
points rs O compromise candidate than any
other mentioned. Mr.. Cook was delegate
in the republican convention in 1860, and
aided materially in the nomination Of Abra-
ham Lincoln.
A story is going the rounds to the effect
that diver, while providing around on tho
bottom of the sea off the coast of North Caro-
lima recently, found an oyster on rock with
a pieoe of paper In Its mouth which proved
to be q gospel tract, and he was so impressed
that no said ~ can hold out against Gods
mercy no longer since he persues me thus
aud SO he became a converted man and a
republican. The story has q fishlike smell,
but the WAYS of Providence are mysterious,

Since the spe eches of Representatives Fin
erty and McAdoo against tho Morrison bill
some of the free-trade democrats have felt
serious misgivings. The representatives
mentioned are Irishmen as well as democrats
and both of them took pains to denounce the
policy of free trade at one designed to benefit
English manufacturers aud give Great
Britain control of the American market
Messrs. Morrison, Hurd, and others fear that
II such notion becomes prevalent among the
Irish voters the democratic party will sutlel
serious injury in the coming presidential
contest. They have already received intima
tions from Now York. Philadelphia, Chicago
and other cities that there Is danger Of de
fections, and tho Tammany meeting in New

means to avert it, Wdshington correspondence

Reward for Gallant Service.

A subcommittee Of the house committee on
naval affairs yesterday reported to the full
committee bill providing for the appropria-
ton OF 100000 for the reliof of the officers
and crews Of the United States sloop of war
Cumberland and the United States steamer
Monitor, engaged in action with the confod'
crate steamer Merrimac In Hampton roads
on March and 0, 1862. Representative
Hammer, who prepared the bill, in his report
accompanying it, says; "The committee, after
q careful Investigation Of the law and the
facts in these cases, has been unable TO find
any authority for the payment of prize
money in either Of them. The
evidence shows that the Merrimac was neither
captured nor destroyed by either Of these
vessels, and the claim to prize money must
be rejected. But while this is true, the
evidence presented to tho committee abund-
antly proves the most conspicuous gallantry
and devoted patriotism, as woll as extraordl-
nary services rendered by tho officers and
crews of these ships which, in the opinion of
your committee, entities them to generous
and grateful recognition by tho country

tho National theater next week will COM
menco at tho box ofiioo of the theater to-
morrow morning Tho opening opera will bo
Flotow's "Mnrthn," which is u new addition
to the Ideals repertoire. Tho 1rst presenta-
tion of this beautiful opera by the Ideals in
Chicago aroused the critics Of that city to
such pitch of enthusiasm that thoy
declared that the performance was
superior, both in singing and acting,
to that given by Abboy's Grand Opera troupe.
II was presented In Boston last Monday night
by the Ideals, and the critics of the Hub arc
scarcely less enthusiastic in their praise. The
cast hero will be as follows: Lady Harriet,
Miss Marie Stone; Nancy, Miss Mathildo
Phillips; Lionel, Mr.. Tom Karl; Plunkett.
Mr.. Myron Whitney; the Sheriff, Mr.. George
rockingham, and Sir Tristan, Nj. Mont

As the engagement of the Ideals is under

be an inducoment for tho friends of this crack
corps to attend aside from the superior ex-
cellcnce of the operate organization.

Tho Apollo club will give its third concert
at Lincoln hall tonight. Tho club will be

Nine. A. A. Fengar, violinist, and Miss
Mamie Simons. pianist. The known excel
lence of the club itself would no doubt be
sufficient to insure the musical and financial
success of the concert, but tho added attrac-
tion Of the ladies named cannot fail to in
duce an audience which will test the capacity
of Lincoln hall.

The proprietors of tho principal hotels in |
the city have had conference with the dis |
trict commissioners as to the best means of |
providing for the safety of their guests in
case of fire. After considerable discussion
the conclusion was arrived at that standpipes,
with hose on each floor for carrying the water
to whore IL may happen TO be needed, arc tho
best protection that can be devised, and it
was decided not to require tho erection of
fre-oscapes. There is doubt about the wis
dom Of this decision. 1t is very desirable to
provide a way for people to get out Of build
ing when an alarm of fire causes q panic. A
standpipe Is n good thing to havo in the
house when fire breaks out, but thero is
not always q person on hand who has
the presence Of mind to take tho
hose from the reel and turn on the
water, and In tho lato FIRE at Wizards, for
instance, it was very difficult matter to
find the place where the wator was needed.
A standpipe was kept in newspaper office
| in q city not far from here for several years
I
for distinguishing o fire before any damage
could be done. The brass nozzle Of the hose
and the brass wheel of the shut-oT valvo
were carefully polished every Saturday. 1t
happened that in making some repairs it
became necessary to change the position of
the standpipe. After the water had been
turned of one of the workmen took hold of
the brass wheel to turn the valve. lie used
all his strength, but was unable TO move It,
An ordinary machinist's wrench was then
used without effect, and before the wheel
could be started a powerful wrench with
/ lever three feet long had to be applied A
valve that has not been turned for thirty
! years is likely to be held so tightly by tho
rust that it requires o practiced mGchInist
with Samson wrench to movo it. Probably
u years disuse would have the same effect,
Fires only occur at long intervals, and whom
the necessity for using a standpipo in hotel,
or any other building, occurs, In nine cases
out of ten there Ia great trouble in turning
on the water. In order to make this appli-
ance for protecting guests Of any value, 1t Is
not only necessary to polish up the brass Or
naneuts once week, but the valves must BIO
kept we'll oiled, and there must be persons
on hand possessing the necessary strength
and skill to turn them.

PEOPLE who heard Mr.. George Lea and Mr.

committee in the Danville riot case will find
no difficulty in believing the story of tho
murderous assault on the poor negro Adams,
as related in dispatch from Danville pub
lished in to.day's NATIONAL REPUBLICAN.
They seemed to DO entirely unconscious of
the fact that they had been engaged in most
atrocious crime, and spoke of tho whole
affair as complacently as If 1t had
been highly honorable TO themselves.
1t is striking commentary on tho
state of public opinion at Dauville that the
unconscious negro is in Jail ana his aSsailants
are walking about the streets on $50 bail In
highly Civilized communities when the
victim of murderous assault seems likely to
die, his assailants are committed withou. bail
to await the result of his injuries. II Is
difficult to sec why tho wounded man was
sent to Jail unless II was because pistol was
found on his person.

GEN. GRAHAM hurried away from the Red
sea littoral before the rebellion was subdued.
1t was supposed that osman DiGna was so
badly used up at tho battle of Tamanieb that
he would make no further hostile demonstra-
tions, and the English embarked in their
ships and sailed for home. The attack on
Suakin shows that there is good deal of
fight in osman Digna yet, and while the

20 go up the Milo to the rescue of Gordon, it
may be necessary to send another army to
