' WEDNESDAY, JUKE 30. Gaefield Is a Polander, and, therefore, is ineligible. How will the Northern heart be fire! this year? Sid! Oakis Amk3 planted, Poland watered, bat Garfield got the $329.

Withdraw Garfield and Pjrter and subatitute Crant and Streight.andlet us have some fan. No seed of Southern outrages this season. Hancock will sweep the North, outrages or no outrages, The Journal talks about the Democrats eating crow. The Republican dish u buzzard with perjury sauce. Tin Republican party pronounced Jamea A. Garfield guilty of perjury, and then nominated him for President. How is that lor the high moral? Poos Arthur! . He was kicked out of office by Hayes, the Presidential fraud. It would would have been better (or his good name if be had been kicked by a mule. "Shall we hear the Rabel yell for HanCock?:' queries the Journal. Cues you will, and it will sound better than the yell of the Poland Committee, fixing the guilt of bribery and perjury upon Garfield. A cloves leaf was the badge of distinction of Hancock's corps. Let us have it for a campaign insignia. Garfield will take it for the ace of clubs, and he won't mies it much, as it will mean the biggest sort of a club to him. Hates gave old Madison Wells the cold shoulder the other day when he a;-ked for offlce. The danger now is that the old Louisiana liar will tell the truth, but John Sherman will probably keep the old rascal eilen t. Tue least said about the hanging of lira. 8urratt the better it will be for the Republican parly. There were three rather prominent Indiana Radicals on the Commission which condemned Mrs. Sarrattto death. The subject will not stand very much agitation for some reputations, and not Democratic reputations either. The Republican papers are itching to say i that General Hancock 13 ignorant, and knows nothirg about civil matters. After two terms of Grant and four years of a second rate Ohio provincial lawyer, we should think the country could etand almost any thing, and that it is among the Nations of the earth to day, no thanks are due to Radicalism. The Cincinnati Commercial says that Hancock is as "spotless as a star." The Cincinnati Commercial also says: There are three poi uts In General Garfield's record that require explanation, and tliey relate to the Credit Mooilier, the balary grab and the DeGoiyer pavement. . We look for the cordial support of the Cincinnati Commercial for the Democratic ticket. Talking about crow, our distant subscribers are missing a rare tight. To see these Indianapolis Radicals trying to comprehend the length and breadth and the height and depth of the Hancock boom ia perfectly wonderful. Thoy are beginning to get it through their skulls that Mr. Garfield will cot have enoagh votes in November to do him any good. "We wonder how the Republican presa will attack General Hancock. His record is bo thoroughly symmetrical and spotless that cone of the usual mnd mixtures will stick. Trust Radicalism, however, to its ingenuity on auch occasions. Give it thirty days, and a foreigner arriving on our shores will think that Hancock was a "Confederate Briga- ' dier," and fought under Lee at Gettysburg, instead of receiving a terrible wound und-r Meade. Schcylr Colfax forgives Oakee Ames for killing him politically. He may pose before the country as the great forgiver of the late Mr. Ames, but it would bs interesting to know his real sentiments toward the little "memorandum book" which revealed the $1,200 check to "S. C. or bearer," aad the bank account which showed that that amount was passed to bis credit the same j day it was signed by Ames. The latter is dead, but the little check has shown its ability to keep itself green. Os Thursday night, after the nomination of General Hancock, the Democrats of Utica, N. Y., met to organize a Hancock and English Club. Among those who came to assist in the work was Mr. James G. Gnndlay, who had been the most active advocate of Grant's nomination, and cpon whose motion Senator Conkling was sent as a delegate to the State Convention tt Syracuse. He was chosen President of the Club, and pledged himself heartily for the work of the campaign. It is by euoh men, in addition to old-time Democrats, that General Hancock's way to the White House is to be made easy and pleasant by bMcg strewn with flowers. HANCOCK'S CIVIL EE CORD. We publish elsewhere in this morning's Sentinel Hancock's civil record. The Republicans say he baa none. This record is set forth in a magnificant letter to Governor Peace, of Texas, in 1803. Here, for instance, is an extract, which will drive the conyic. tion home to any brain that General Han. cock fully understands the genius ! American institutions, and the true intent of the Constitution of the United States. The General says: "The cieat principles or American liberty arb still the i.vheeita3ci or this teople, and eveb shocld be; that the eight or trial by jury, the habeas corpcs. the li beet v op the press, the preeDOM OP SPEECH, ARO THE EATCEaL EIGHTS OP PERSONS ARO PROPERTY MUST BE PRESERVED." General Hancock puts then this pointed question: "Which one of these great principles of liberty are you ready to deny and repudiate? Whoever does so, avows himself the enemy of hunvtn liberty aul the advocate of despotism." Any one who doubts General Hancock's inability to handle the intricacies of state cralt should read this letter. Few lawyers

could have handled the questions involved so

exhaustively and with such convincing. overwhelming point and force. The Democratic party was never defeated at any National election when it was united and in good fighting condition. . With Hancock all divisions are healed, and an overwhelming victory awaits it in the fall. It is no longer a question whether New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Indiana will vote the Democratic ticket. The question Is a still more serious one for the Republican party, and it is this: Will Illinois and Pennsylvania be saved to Radi calism this time or cot! General McClure, of the Philadelphia Times, says that Pennsylvania yt as certain for Hancock as Ohio is for Garfield. Hon. Lyman Trumbull says that the ticket will sweep Illinois. HANCOCK AND ENGLISH. From all quarters North, South, East and West come thunder tones of approval of the Democratic ticket-Hancock and English. The shout is grand. From the pine forests of Maine to the Paciuo Slope, from Mackinaw to the Everglades, from the center to the circumference of this ocean-girt Republic, there ia a storm of rejoicings. The watch fires of liberty are blazing high; the flag of our country waves in every breeze in token of a united country. Patriots, with hearts swelling with emotions of loyalty to the Constitution, see the victory from afar, and by faith ia the integrity and wisdom of the people bring it nigh. The bsacon lights of liberty dispel the darkness that, under Republican rule, has for many years cursed our country; and the crooked paths, leading to Republican dens of iniquity, worn smooth by political reptiles as they crawled from hidingplace to power, are mapped in lines as vivid as lightning. The Democratic party, in cjunsel at Cincinnati, solidified the Democratic party of the country. It spoke, and the storm cea3ed the waves cf passion sub sided.- Instead of cotes of discord and strife, the country was saluted with the harmonies cf peace, fellowship, gcod-will, fraternity harbinger tokens of victory. The waves of the Pacific tossed their white caps high as they sent their greetings ta the Atlantic's billows; the Bnow-clad summits of the Sienas threw back the kisses of the sun to the Alleghanies; Niagsra roared its applause, inviting all the cascades of the continent to add their voices in one grand National symphony in honor of an event foreshadowing an era of peace and prosperity. The Mississippi, with all of its mighty arms, embrving an empire all its own, in flowing eloquence pledges its aid in adding wealth and prosperity to the land under the new regime. The sons of the plowmen of the prairies, blending with the music of the planter, reaper and mower, joins with the melodies of the anvils, shuttles and spindles of New England in the grand shout of welome to the new era whose glorious dawning floods the land with hopes of reform. Never were the hearts of American patriots more profoundly stirred; neyer were the banners of the grand old Democratic party saluted with such burning, impassioned devotion; never did the currents of patriotic thought rise higher or flow out and over the land with such majestic sweep. The ticket, Hancock and English, is universally accepted. If further encomium were required, it is supplied by contrasting the Democratic ticket, Hancock and English, with the Republican ticket, Garfield and Arthur. The Republican party Insulted the Republic. Garfield and Arthur era pronounced political lepers by the testimony of Republicans. The Republican party proposes to place these men in the highest offices known to the laws of the Republic In discussing such an im pious proposition all the figures of rhetoric confess the meagerre9sof their powers to fitly portray its atrocity when it named Garfield and Arthur as its standard-bearers. The people, rf grdless of party, had a right to expect the Republican party would name honest and honorable men for the highest offices within its bestowal, but it did nothing in that line. In seeking to avoid Grant and the Empire on one side, and Blaine witk his Mulligan record, and Sherman with his Returning Board infamies on the other side, the Republican party, as if its evil genius presided over its deliberations and intensified its partisan blindness, selected two of the most notoriously corrupt men to be found within Its jurisdiction; and, as if to sink the party to soundless depths of infamy, the verdict which establishes the guilt of Garfield and Arthur is based entirely upon Republican testimony. The Poland Committee and the declarations of Hayes and John Sherman place Garfield and Arthur in positions where, as the days come and go, will make them more and more conspicuous as men whose official robes are stained - with corruption, Garfield could scarcely be more degraded. With pretentions of purity that would shame a Pharisee, he stands charged and convicted as a bribe-taker and a perjurer The Chicago Convention, by a unanimous vote, made Garfield the Republican candidate for President, and the Poland Committee, by a unanimous vote, convicted him of bribery and perjury. It would be infinitely more creditable to reward patriotism with a dungeon, or feed the scaffold with the votaries of virtue, than to exalt convicted criminals to places of honor and power. Still the Republican party, disregarding Its own verdicts, select men, whose crimes admit of no equivocation, to sit in judgment over the people, and shape the destinies of the country. Fortunately the people have the right, and will have an opportunity to decide between the Democratic and Republican candidates for President and Vice President. Awaiting that decision, the Democratic party permits no doubts to mar ita serenity. It offers the people a ticket that will grow in public favor the more it is contemplated, and in proportion as It rises In public esteem, the Republican ticket will sink. The wisdom, the prudence and the patriotism of the Democratic party ia symbolized by the Cincinnati nominations, and to fitly characterize the perfidy of the Republican party in naming its candidates, it is only necessary to publish the testimony of Republicans themselves, which la at once the death warrant and the epitaph of Gar field and Arthur.

WINFIELD S. HANCOCK,

The Great Soldier's: Civil Kecord His Celebrated Letter to Gorernor Pease of Texas. . The Itlglit of Trial by Jury, the Habea Corpus the Liberty cf the Press, the Freedom of Speech, the Natural Kights of Persou anil the Rights of Property Must be Preserved." The following admirable letter was written and published by General Hancock toward the close of his administration at (Nev Or leans, in reply to the application of Governor Pease, of , Texas, for the establishment of military commissions in that State, it de serves a careful reading, and in it may be found a triumphant vindication of the principles upon which General Hancock conducted his administration. No conserv ative citizen can read it without being lm pressed with the soundness of the writer's political principles, the firmness and inde pendencs of his cnaraoter, the excellence of his judgment. Lis atatesmaolike ability and manly patriotism: Hkadqcarters Fifth Military District, iSkw Okleans, La., March !, lstw. To His Excellency E. M. P.ase, Governor of rexas: Sir Your communication of the 17th Jan nary last was received lu dee course of mall, (tne Z7tn or January) bat not antu ltnaä been widely circulated by the newspaper press. To such a letter written and pubiianed for man ilest purposes 11 nas Deen my intention to reply an toon as leisure from more Important nnsiness would permit. Your Atatement that the act of Congress "to provide for the more efficient government of me Kebel States," declares tbat whatever gov ernment existeu in Texas was provisional; tnat peace and order Bbould be enforced: that Texas should be part of the Fifth Military Dis trict, ana sucject to military power; mat the f resident stiouiu appoint aa omeer to com maud In fa Id District, and detail a force to protect the rights of person and property, sup press lusurrection anu vioitnce. and pum.sn offenders, either by Military Commission, or tnrougn tne action or local avn tribunals, as in nis judgment mieut seem nest, win not be disputed. One need only rea 1 the act to per-. ceive it contains sucn provisions. mt now all this is supposed to have made It my duty to order the military commission requested, you have entirely failed to show. Tne power to do a thing If shown, and the propriety or doing it, are often very differ ent matters. 1 on observe yoa are at a loss to understand how Govern meat witnout representation in Congress, or a militia force, and subject to military power, can be said te be lu tn full exercise or an 01 its proper powers. lOBüo not reflect mat tDis uovernment. cre ated or permitted by Congress, has all the powers which the act intends, and may fully exercise them accordingly. If you think itounht to bave more powers, sbould be allowed to send members to Congress, -wield a militia force, and possess yet otber powers your complaint is not to be prelerreu yiniuft me, but against Congress, who made i: what it is. As respects the issue between us, any question as to what Congress ought to have done has uo pertinence. You itdroit t be :et of Congress futDoilzss mc to try an offender by Military ( omnmsion, or allow the local civil tri bunals to try, as I sball deem best; and you can not deny ilie act eipret-Kly recognl7.es such local civil tribunals as legal authorities for the purpose specified. When you contend there are no legal tribunals for any purpose In Texas, you must eltber deny tha plain reading of the act of Congress or the pover of Congress to pass the act. You next remark that yoa dissent lrom my declaration, "that the country (Texas) is In a state of pr:lound peace," and proceed to state ths grounds of your dissent. They appear to me not a little extraordinary. I quote your words: "It Is true there no longer exl"ta here (Texas) any organized resistance to the authority of the United States.'' "But a large majority of the white population who participated in the late rebellion are embittered against the Uovernment. and yield to It an unwilling obedience." Nevertheless, you concede they do yield it obedience. You proceed: "None of this class have aiy affection for tne Government, and very few any respect for it. They regard the legislation of Congress on the subject of reconstruction as unconstitutional and hostile to their lu teres ts, and con sider the Government now existing here under authority of the United State as an usurpation of their rights. They loot on the emancipation of their late slaves aid the disfranchisement of a portion of their own class as an act oflufcult and oppresslor." And this is all you have lo present for proof that war and not peace prevails In Texas; and hence it becomes my duty so 70U suppose to set aside the local civil trlbunas and enforce the penal code against citizens by means of Military Commissions. My dear sir, 1 am not a lawyer, nor has It been ray business, as it may bava been yours, to study the philosophy of statttraft and poll, tics. But 1 may lay claim after an experience of more than half a life time, to some poor knowledge of men and some appreciation of what is necessary to social ordtr and happiness. And for the future of our common country I could devoutly wish that n greater number of our people have yet fallen in with the views you entertain. Woe be t us whenever it shall come to pass that the pover of the magistrate, civil or military, is pern ltted to deal with the mere opinions or feeliigs of the people. I have been accustomed to beieve that sentiments of ret-pect or disrespect ind feelings of affection, love or hatred, so long as not developed into acts in violation of law, were matters wholly beyond the punitory pover of human tribunals. I will maintain that the entre freedom of taongbt and speech, however icrlmoniously Indulged, Is consistent with the noblest aspirations of man and the happiest condition of hl race. When a boy I remember to have read a speeeh of Lor J Chatham, delivered in Parliament. It was during our llevolitlouary war, and relaxed to the policy of employing tbe savages on the side of Britain. You may be more familiar wit n the speech :han I am. If I am not greatly mistaken, his lordship denounced the British Government his Government in terms of unmeasured bitterness. He characterized its policy at revolting to every sentiment o humanity and religion; proclaimed it covered with disgrace, aod vented his eternal abhorrence of It and its measures. It may, 1 think, be rafely asserted that a majority of the British Nation concurred In the "views of Lord Chatham. But whoever supposed trat profound pence was not existing in that Kingdom, 01 that Govt rnment had any author lty to question the absolute right of the opposition to express their objections to the propriety of th King's measures in any words, or to anj extent they pleased? It would be difficult to show that the opponents of the Government in tbe days of the elder Adams or Jefferson or Jackon exhibited for It either "affection ' or "respect." You are conversant with tbe b story of our past parties and political strumites touching legislation on alienage, sedition, the embargo, National Banks, our wars wltb England and Mexico, and can not be lgnoran. of the fact that for one party to assert that a law or system of legislation is unconstitutional, oppressive and usurputlve if not a newthlng In tne United States. That the people of Texas consider acts of Congress unconstitutional, oppressive or insulting to them Is r no consequence to the matter in band. Hie President of tbe United States has announced his opinion that these acts of Congress are unconstitutional. The Supreme Court, as you are aware, not long ago decided unanimously that a certain Military Commission was unconstitutional. Our pKple everywhere, in every Htate, without reference to tbe side they tooK during tbe llebeMon, differ as to the constitutionality of these acts of Congress. How the matter really Is, neither you nor I may dogmatically affirm. It you deem them Constltutiocal laws and beneficial to tne country, you not ocly have the right to publish your opinions, out it might be your boanden duty as a citizen to do so. Not less Is it the privilege and duty of any and every citizen, wherever residing, to publish his opinion freely and fearlessly on this and every question which he thin ss concerns his interest. This is merely la accordance with the principles of oar free government; and neither you nor I would wish to live under any other. It Is time now, at tbe end of almost two years from the close of the war, we should begin to recollect what manner ef people we are, to tolerate again free, popular discussion, and extend some forbearance and consideration to opposing Yiews. The maxims that in all Intellectual contests tbe truth 1 mighty and must prevail, and that error la ii&rn.les when reason Is left free to combat it, are not only sound, but salutary. It la a poor compliment to the merits of such a cause, that ita advocates would silence opposition by force ; and generally those only who are In

the wrong will resort to tills ungenerous means. I am confident you will net commit your serious judgment to the preposition that any amount of discussion, or any ort or opinions, however unwise m yonr Judgment, or any assertion or feeling, however resentful or bitter, not retiiliing in a breach of law, can idrnihh jusilllcaUon for your denial that pr found peace exists In Texas. Yoa might as well deny that profound peace exl-tts ia New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, California, Ohio ami Kentucky; where a maJwUy ol the people differ with a minority on these Ques

tions; or that profound peace exists in the House of Representatives, or the Senate, at waKuingron, or in tne upreme court, where an mese questions nave been repeatedly discussed, aim parties respectfally aud Datientlv heard. You next complain that In paitsof me State (Texas) it is difficult to enforce the crlnimal.laws; mat sheriffs fall to arrest; 1 bat granu jurors win not always inaict: that In some cases tbe military, acting in aid of the civil authorities, bave not been able to execute the process of the Courts; that petit jurors nave rquiuea persons aijuugea guilty by you; and mat other persons charged with offenses have broke jail and fled from proi-ecutlon. I know not now these things are; but admitting your representations literally trne, It for such reasons I should set aside tne 10c i civil tribunals and order a Military Commission, there is no plaoe In me United States where It might not be done with eouai propriety. There is not a State in tbe Union rortn or ontn where the like facts are not continually happening. Perfection ia not to De predicated 01 man or his works. Ho one can reasouablv expect certain and absolute j ustice in nunmn transactions: and if military power is 10 ue sei in mouon op ine principles lor which you would seem lo contend, 1 tear that a civu uovernment. regulated bylaws, could have no abiding pi tee beneath the circuit of the sun. it is rather more than hinted in your letter, that mere is no local State Government In Texas and no local laws outside of the acts of Congress, which I ought to respect; and that I should undertake 10 protect the rights of persons and property In my own way and In an arbitrary manner. If such be your meaning, 1 am compelled to differ with i ou. After the abolition of slavery, (an event which 1 hope no one now re grets), the laws of Louisiana and Texas existing prior to the rebellion, and not In conlllct with the acts of Congress, comprised a vast system of J urispruuence, both civil and criminal. It re quired not volumes only, but libraries to con tain them. They laid down prlnclpl s and precedents for ascertaining me rights and ad justing the controversies of men, in every conceivable case, xney were tue crtaiioas of Crest and good and learned men, who had labor ed in tnelr day, for their kind, and gone down to the grave long before our recent troubles, leaving their works an inestimable legacy to the human race These laws, as lam informed, connected the civilization of the past and present ages, and testified of the Justice, wisdom, numanity ana patriotism ol more than one Nation, through whose records they descended to the present people of these States. I am satisfied, from representations of persons competent to judge, they are as perfect a system or I ws as may bo round elsewhere, and bet'er suited than any other to me condition of this people, lor by them they have long been governed. Why hould It be supposed Congress has abolished these laws? Why should auy one wish to abolish them? They have committed no treason, nor are they hostile to the United Slates, nor countenance crime, er lavor injustice. On tbem.ason a foundation of rock, reposes al most the entire so perstructure of social order in these twoSta es. Annul this code of local laws, and there would be no longer any 1 ights, either of person or property, nere. Abolish tue local civil tribunals made to execute them, and you would virtually annul the laws.except in reference to the very few cases ccgnizable in the Federal Courts. Let us for a moment suppose the whole local civil code annulled, and that 1 am left, as Commander of the r"iftn Military District, the solo fountain of law and justice. This Is the position In which you would place ine. I am now to protect all rights and redress all wrongs. How Is it possible for me to de it? Innumerable questions arise, of which I am not only ignorant, but to the solution of which a Military Court is entirely unfitted. One would establish a win, another a deed ; or the question is one of succession, or partnership, or descent, or trust; a suit of ejectment or claim to chattels; or the application may relate to robbery, theft, arson, or murder. How am I to take the first step in any such niatt r? if I turn to tbe acts of Congress 1 Und nothing on the subject. X dare not open tbe authors on the local code, for it has ceased to exist. And yoa tell me that in thLs perplexing con dition I am to furnish by dint of my own hasty aud crude Judgment the legislation demanded by the vast and manifold interests of the people! I'repeat, sir, that you, and not Congress, are respousible for the monstrous suggestion that there are no local laws or institutions hereto be respected by me outside the acts of Congress. I say unhesitatingly If it were possible tnat Congress should pass an act abolishing the local codes for Loui.-Una and Texas which I do not believe and It should full to my lot to supply their places with something of my own, I do not see how I could do netter than follow the laws in force here prior to the rebellion, excepting whatever therein fchall relate to slavery. Power maydestioy tne lorms dui not tne principles 01 justice; these will live in spite even of the sword. History tells us that the Roman pandects were lost for a long period among the rubbish that war ana revolution had neaped upon them, but at length were dug out of the ruins again to be regarded as a precious treasure. You are pleased to state tbat "since tbe pub lication 01 (my) general orders No. id, there has been a peiceptible Increase of crime and manifestations of hostile feeling toward tbe Government aud its supporters," and add tbat it Is "an unpleasant duty to give such a recital of the couditlon of the countrj." loa win permit me to say mat I deem it impossible the first of these statements can be true, aad tbat I do very greatly doubt tbe correctness of the second. General order No. 40 was Issued at New Orleans, November 2. lfo7, aad your letter was dated January 17, 186. Allowing time lor order No 4U to reach Texas and become generally Known, some additional time must have elapsed before its effect wouid.be manifested, and yet a further time muit transpire before yoa would be able to collect the evidence of what you term "the condition of the country;" and yet. after all this yoa would have to make the necetsary investigations to ascertain if order No. 10 or something e.se was the caase. The time. therefore, remaining to enable you, berore the 17th of January, ltk. to reach a satisfactory conclusion on so delicate and nice a question must have been very snort, how you pro ceeded, whether yoa Investigated yourself or through third persons, ana. if so, who they were, what their competency and fairness, on what evidence you rested your conclusion, or whether you ascertained any facts at all, are points upon wtucli you' letter so dbcreetly oiuti all mention, that I may well be excused for not relying implicitly upon it; nor is my difficulty diminished by tbe fact that In another part of your letter you state tnat, ever since the close of the war, a very large portion of the people have had no affection for the Governmem, but bitternaes of feeling only. Had tbe duty of publishing and circulating through the country, long be fore it readied me, your statement thai tne action of the District Commander was increasing crime and hostile feeling against the Gov ernment, been less painful to yonr sensibllibiuties, it might possibly nave occurred to 1 you to furnish something on the subject In addition to your bare assertion. But what was order No. 4U, a id how could it have the effect yoa attribute to i?'. It sets forth that "the great principles of American liberty are still the Inheritance of this people. and ever sbould be; that the right of trial by ury. the habeas corpus, the liberty of the press, the freedom of speech, and tbe natural rights of persons and property must be pre served." Will yon question the truth of these declaration s? Which one of these great principles of liberty are you ready to deny aud repudiate? Whoever does so avows himself the enemy of human liberty and the advocate of despotism. Was there any intimation in general orders No. 4J that any crimes or b re acnes of law could be countenanced? You know that there was not. On the contrary, you know perfectly well that while "the consiaeratlon of crime and offences committed In tbe Fifth Military District was referred to the judgment of the regular civil tribunals," a pledge was given In ord-r No. 40, which all understood, that tribunals would be supported In their lawful jurisdiction, and that "forcible resistance to law would be Instantly suppressed by arms." Yoa will not affirm tbat this pledge has ever been forfeited. There has not been a moment since I have been in command of the Fifth District, when the whole military force in my bauds has not been ready to support the civil authorities of Texas in the execution or the laws. And I am unwilling to believe they would refuse to call for aid if they needed it. There are some considerations which, it seems to me, should cause you to hesitate before indulging in wholesale censures against the civil authorities of Texas. Yoa are yourself the chief of these authorities not elected by the people, but created by tbe military. Not long aiter you had thus come into office, all the Judges of me supreme Court of Texas, five in Dumber, were removed from ot&ce and new appointments made. Twelve of the seventeen District Judges were removed aud others appointed. County officers, more or less. In seventy-five out of 128 Counties were removed and others appointed In their places. It Is fair to conclude that the executive and Judicial civil functionaries inTexas are ths tersons wboin yoa desired to fill the offices. It la proper to mention, also, that none but registered cltliens, and only those who could take the Test oath, nave been allowed to serve as Juryrs during your administration. How, IV la

against this local govern rnenf. ereXled by tan

ltary po er prior to my coming here, and so compoeea or your personal ana political friends, that you have preferred the most grievous complaints, it is or them tbat you have asserted that they will not do their duty; they will not maintain iustlce; will not arrest offenders: will not puulsh crimes, and that out of KM homicides committed in the last twelve months, not over ten arrets have been made, and by means of such grass dlsregaid of oniy you oeciare mat neither property or me Is s fe iu Texas. CenasnJy you could have said nothing more to ihe discredit of the offlcial who are now la ofnee. It tbe fact be as you allege, a mystery is presenter lor wnicn l can imagine no explanation. Whv 1 it that vf.nr nolltical friend", backed up and sustained by the whole mliitarv'iowerof tbe United Slates In this Dis trict, shouid be unwdlli-g to eniorce tbe laws. gainsi mat pari o: lie population laieiy in rebellion, and whom von reon sent as the of fenders? In all the nlstorv of thee troubles. I have never seen or heard betoie of such a fact. l. repeat, if the fact be so. It Is a profound my tery. utterly surpassing mv eomorehension. I am coustratneo to dec are that I believe yen are In very great error as to facts. On careful exarolnatiou at the proper source, I find tht at the date of your letter four caes only of homicides had been reported to thesv neuaquaners as naving occurred ince isovemberi. lSi7. the date of order No. 40. and these cases were ordered to be tried and inves tigated as soon as the reports were received However, the fact of the TO homicides may still be correct, as stated bv voa Tbe Freedman's Bureau In Texas reported 1(M; how raauy of these were by Indians and Mexicans, and how the remainder were classified. Is not known, nor Is It known whether these data are accurate. The report of the commanding officer of tbe District of Texas ihows tbat Mtiee 1 assumed command no applications bave been made to iura Dyyou lorthe arrest of criminals in the State of Texas. To this date eighteen cases of homicides have been reported to mc as having occurred since November 2, 1S7, although special instructions have be -n given to report such cases as they o.-cur. Of these. live were committed by Indians, one by a Mexican, one by an In sane man, tnree Dy colored men, two or women by their husbands, aud of the re malnder some by par-ie unknown all of wnicu could be scarcely attributable to order No. 4'). If the reports received since tbe issuing of order No. 4u are correct, they exhibit no increase of hoi leides in my time, if you are correct that 1UU had occurred in the pabt t welve mouths. That there lias not been a perfect administration of Iustlce in Texas I am not prepared to deny. That there has been no such wanton disregard of duty on the part of ollicials as you allege, I am well satUlied. A very little while ago you regarded the present oilicia's in Texas the only ones who could safely be trusted with power. Now vou nronounce them worthlets, and would cast them aside. i bave found little else in vour letter but In dications of temper, lashed luto excitement by causes which IcUem most imaginary, a great confidence in the accuracy of your own opinions, and an intolerance of the opinions of Others, a desire to punish the thoughts and leenngsoi tnose wno diner from yon, and an impatience which magnifies the shortcom ings of oflicials who are perhaps as earnest and conscientious in tne discharge of their duties as yourself, and a most unsound conclu sion that while any persons are to be found wauting in affection or respect for government, or yielding In obedience from motives which you do not upprove, war, and not peace, is the status, and all such persons are the proper subjects for military penal Jurisdiction. If I have written anything to disabuse vour mind of so grave au error, I shall be gratified. i am, sir, very respectfully, your obedient servant. W . S. HANCOCK, Major General Commanding. ENGLISH. Enthusiastic Reception of Mr. English at BhelbyTille, lad. Congratulatory Telegrams Pouring in From all Portions of the Country. Mr. English left the Convention te'ore his nomination, and first heard of it at Lawrenceburg. Mr. Sutton, of Phelbyville, who was on the cars, telegraphed ahead to Greensburg, St. Paul and Shelby villa that Mr. English was on board the train, and crowds of people were on hand at his arrival at each of tbe places cheer ing for Hancock and English. At Shelbyvllle there was quite a demonstration, and after loud cheering Mr. English thanked the people for their friendly greeting, sayiug that he had a warm place in his heart for the peo ple of Shelby County for their uniform maintalnaoce of correct political principles, and be did not forget their generous and successful support of his son for the Legislature at the late election. Ha believed he was tbe first native Indlanlan ever placed upon a Presidential ticket by either party, a.d next. to the filendlj greetings of the people of Scott County, where he was born, and Marion County, his present home, there weie no greetings that could be more gratifying to his feelings than those from the people of Shelby Couuty. Besides he did not foiget tht this was the former home of Uovernnr Thomas A. Hendricks, one of tbe purest and best men in mis or any other land : a man who was highly esteemed wherever known, and who will not fan to fctand high in the councils and executive management of the next Democratic administration. The train moved ou amid loud cheers for Hancock and English. Mr. English's return to Indianapolis wjs sooner than expected, and unknown to his family and friends, and but few persons as yet know he is in tne city.
