We smell (ho battle from afar off, ami It brings with It the confidence that after tho smeke shall Iiavocletred away and tho con test Is ended, tho banners of Democracy will be seen floating triumphantly over the body of defunct republicanism. While nil tho Indications are in favor of a victory for ui, it will not bo Rained without a struggle. Our opponents will not sit idly by, while the reins of government flip from their grasp. They will make n bold fir-lit for life and will only be driven from their works after a well fought battle. Heretofore they havo beaten us by being well organized, which mado it possiblo for them to steal the government from us oven after we had captured it. In order to defeat their plana, the Democracy must work, and it can only do this effectually by beieg well organized. Thus shall we bo able to elect our canoi- dates by such au overwhelming majority that no ench a thing as an electoral com mission will be attempted. Members of tho Standing Committee in every township should see that a club is formed, and that it is kept in active opera tlon during the campaign. Have public meetings, good speeches, lively music, and help the causo tiling. If there are any members of the commltteo who do not pro pose to wort, they should at once withdraw and give place to those who will. ORGANIZE, ORGANIZE I I THE SURKATT MATTEI!. The following letter written hv "A mn. scienjjous Catholic" to the Williamsport jjunnrr contains mucu in little. Editor Banner: The editor nftl, rt,,i Minis very much mistaken in presuming that no conscientious Catholic will vote for the gallant General Hancock, on account of tue part he was obliged to take in carrying out.tne ueatn sentence against poor Mrs. Sur ratt. Catholics are not altogether so ignor ant orstupid as not to know that il.p n. publican party are alone responsible for that nagrant wrong ; that poor, innocent Mrs Surratt was sent to the scaffjhl by the leaders of that party to appease tho fanati cal clamor of its adherent). Thn Tipnnhl I. can papers, in reviving this sad history, are dui paraumg weir owa shame. No Catho lic will heaitato long iu choosing between Garfield and nancock if the issue bo con fined to the execution of Mrs. Surratt. The one is the representative of a party which ha-idei over Mrs. Surratt to be tried by a military tribunal, and so worked upon that tribunal by its clamors as to force Ihn iloaih sentence ; the other is a soldier who was bound by strict laws to carry out the or dersof his superiors; orders that wore prob ably civen by his political lniml In tract from that popularity which even then accompanied him, and which has increased trim year to year tilll we have seen it cub minate in Cincinnati. I repeat, Catholics bear no grudge against General Hancock on account of his connection with the h of Mrs. Surratt. They know well that his neatt was never In the work. Democratic State Committee. The Democratic State committee had a meeting at Bolton's Hotel, Harrisburr., last week: Wednesday, presided over by Hon A.H.Dili, the new chairman. Thirty-two of the fifty Senatorial districts were repre sented, lne meeting was unusually well at- tended, considering tho brief notice given to the members. Those absent generally gavo (atifactory reatonsby mail or telegraph lor their non-attendance. AH pledged the! earnest support to Hansock aud English, The Lest of feeling prevailed and the most encouraging accounts were given of Demo cratic prospects. From every district repre- sented the news was to the effect that the Cincinnati nominations have thoroughly united the Democrats acd produced unpre cedented enthusiasm in the party. Some of the members of the committee reported that many Republicans had declared their inten Hon to vote for Hancock. Chairman Dill was authorized to appoint the secretaries oi the committee and assistants and the finance committee. On motion of Mr. Steinman, of Lancaster, a rtsolutiou was adopted: "That in the judgment of the Democratic commit tee of the State of Pennsylvania the vote of tho State will be cast for Winfield Scott Hancock for President, a son ofourown boII and a man whose character and career have won for him the applause of every clt' izen of the State. To this end the State committee claim the earnest labor of every Democrat in the State, that the glorious re sult, easily within our reach, may bo surely attained and that every Pennsylvania Dem ocrat may have a share in the victory," A, J. Steinmau, of Lancaster, and A, J. Hughes, of McKean, were appointed secre taries of the committee. Tho headquarters of the committee, soon tb be opened, will be established at Philadelphia. Hancock Sc. English clubs are being or ganized in all parts of the countty. Large meetings were held last week at Chambers burg-, Newvllle, Mechanlcsburg and Har rUburg. Keep the ball a rolling. Bayard and Hendricks are enthusiastic tupporters of Hancock, Will Grant, Conk Jlng, Cameron &c,do anj thing for Garfield! Very little If any. Republican papers console themselves with tho Announcement that the Hancock enthusiasm will soon die out. Unfortunate ly for them it Is constantly on tho Increase, There Is no dangir of tho Garfield enthusi asm dying. There Im't any to die. And now the republican organs have sud denly dlsoiverod that "General Order No 40 was not written by General Hancock, but by Judgo J.S. Hlack for him. As this order la one of tho cvldcnroi of Hancock's stattsmauihlp ol course it is necessary to al lege that ho did not write it. As his servi ces at Oettysbjrg wero among tho acts of his life that entitled him to tho gratltudo of the American peo,.le,wo suggest to theso or gans that they deny these also, Jo keep things all strait they should say that it was Garfield nnd not Hancock who saved Pennsylvania from the hands of the rebels. Uen. Hancock's Pedigree. From tho Itoches'cr Union and Advertiser, .lohu Hancock was born lu 1070, died In 1760 aged eighty years. He was a minister at Lexington, Ma;s. John Hancock was born In 1703, died 1711, aged 41 years. Ho was a minister of H.ilntrfe.Msn., and n son of the preceding. John Hancock, L L. D., was born in 1737 died 1793, aged 50 years. Ho was tho first of tho signers of Declaration of American Independence, a son i f John Hancock of lUiutree, and the grandson of John Han cock of Lexington. He was a nativo of Quincy, Mass., graduated at Harvard col lege In 1701 j member of the house of rep resentatives for Hoston in 17C0: presldout of tho provincial congress of Masiachusetls In 1774 j president of tho continental congress in 1775; governor of Massachusetts in 17S0 to 1784 and 1787 to 1793 Thousands of Pension Claims. MORE WORK ON HANI) THAN THE PRESENT roRcc can rcnroiiM in thirteen years, A special dispatch from Washington says: Tho pension bureau Is so over-whelmed with work that It is estimated lite present forco could not in thirteen years dispose of the claims now on file and unsettled. The com missioner declares that it is utterly imprac ticable to keep up with the bureau's business under the present system, and the experience of the last few days has confirmed his advo cacy of the establishment of local boards for the adjudication of claims. Under the law uo application is entitled to arrears who files application after June 30th, 1880. Be cause of this limitation the number of ap plications filed at tho end of the month just clostd was very large. During the week which ended Saturday nearly 15,000 were received, and on one ol tho remaining days of tho month tho number was over 8,000. The last claim under which arrears can be demanded was filed by Congressman Shal lenberger, of Pennsylvania. It is believed that there aro many meritorious claims which have not been presented, and it is probable that congress will extend for one year the limit which applies to arrears. It is estimated that tbo amount paid and to be psid on account of arrears will reach $50, 000,000. Principles, Not Men, Since tho Republican organs have made tho distressing discovery that the record of their presidential candidate will not bear the rigid scrutiny to which it has been subjected they have raised the demagogic cry of "prin ciples, not men." After contrasting the rec ords of the two candidates, they conclude that personalities and "mud heaving" should bo avoided and that the campaign should be confined to a discussion of principles and policy. On what question do they propose to make an issue before the country ? Tho republicans will vainly attempt to raise the old Bectlonal controversy. That was prac tically disposed of before the two national conventions met. Gen. Grant last May bore the most emphatic testimonyto the patriotic attachment of the Southern people to'the Union, and ha is the leader ot the unbroken right wing of the republican party at Chica go, who will not reject the utterance of their chief and seek to revive the sectional jeal ousies of the stormy past. The Union is re stored not only, but the sentiment of union is more strong aud deep throughout the land than at any time within this generation. The party that seeks to disturb or weaken this sentiment by raking up the ashes of for mer controversies will Burely meet wit bthe condemnation of the people. Do the Republicans wish to raise the issue of the civil service reform? They have nom inated for vice-President a man who Mr. Hayes removed from a responsible position on the ground that he did not properly per form bis duties. Should the republicans succeed and some accident bofall Mr. Gar field in tho term Chester A. Arthur, who was removed from the New York" custom house for unfitness, would become president of the United States. The platform declares for reform of civil service, while the agents of the republican party are raiding all the de partments for contributions for campaign purposes which are in most cases made under fear of dismissal. Tbo Democrats in the session of Congress sought to pass a law that would put an end forever to this levyiug of blackmail upon government officials, but it was defeated by the obstructed courso of the republican minority. In this pioposed campaign of "principles not men" do the republicans wish to discuss the questions of finance aud currency 1 Whatever may have been the differences among democrats in a period of great finan cial disturbance the party stands united on the ancient doctrinesof Jefferson and Jack son. The republican party,a party of finan cial empiricism, has never had any fixed principlesor policy in regard to the currency. In regard to the finances, the legislation of the democrats in congress has reduced the expenditure of government and the Interest on the public debt, thereby greatly lessen the burdens of the people. The work of financial reform has not been completed but the record made cannot be successfully as sailed. Do the republicans propose to discuss tho tariff question in Pennsylvania with a can didate who can bo quoted with equal facility on both sides? For the first time the protec tionists of Pennsylvania are asked to vote for a man with an equivocal record on the tariff. On the floor of congress Gen. Gar field has taunted the protectionists of this state with the assertion that "the tendency of the modern thought Is toward free trade," and has sometimes voted to largely reduce, sometimes to remove altogether, tho duties levied for the protection of the products of the state. This half-faced free trader of Ohio is tbo bitterest pill that was ever presented to the protectlonistsof Pennsylvania. If they swallow him they will be henceforth neither courted nor feared. What then remains of this proposed cam paign of "principles not men"' In spite of themselves the republicans are driven back to the record of their candidate in order to avoid a discussion of the policy of their par ty. In whatever way they turn they meet only with embarrassments and perplexities. WASHINGTON hiniKI!. Washington, I). C. July Gtli, 1S80, LOCAL POLITICAL PEELING, ABOUT CIVIL SKnVICn-OREAT TEAR Ol' REDUCTION 11 Y DEMOCRATIC ADMINISTRATION SECRETARY THOMPSON'S ECONOMY. Thero Is much that Is of Intorest.thoiigh but little that Is new, In tho political situation hire, The country at largo i', no doubt somewhat Interested in a presidential elec tion, but Washington city lives, moves, aud has Its being in politics. Achange of ad ministration will be f nught with serious ro suits to at least one-half of our 180,000 (1 speak by the present census) Inhabitants. Not that there are 90,000 peopl" In govern ment employ, hut at least that number find thelrsiipportdlrcctlyorlndirectly fro n nuiiey disbursed by the Unltol States Government. It Is this money that supports the clerk nnd his family, his baker, butcher, and a host cf trades people. If Hancoik comes In these clerks will have to leave, and I make the prediction that no future administration, without the assistance of a great war, will be able to pack tho department so full of use less supernumeraries as they are now packed. At the head of the Navy Department.that employs much the smallest service of tho Dcparlments.therohas been during tho pres ent administration a plieuomhi.il manager, lie has actually paved three millions or more of the money appropriated I If this ratio of economy had been carried out in tho other Departments there would have been a saving of at least $1,000 000 incachof them, or an annual retrench ment of about f G0,000,000. But does any one suppose that Secretary Thompson and tho Navy Department have been living on half rattons, wearing their old clothes, and working at night? I wish the whole country could know that the Navy Department has still a much larger cltrlcal force than is nece'sary to do the work of that branch of the service; that one ot the hardest tasks of the Chiefs of Bureaus is to give their super numerous employees a semblance of simc thingtodo; that, notwithstanding the fact that working time has been reduced from seven to six hours per day ,the clerks are still idle fully one tlilrj tholr time. If theso are facts, and no informed truthful man will de ny them, in the Navy Departments how much more in the otliT Departments 1 This being tho case a change of administration becomes a serious subject, not only to the clerks, but to tho thousands that live by them. In a rc-organlzitlon of tho civil service on an economical buiness-like ba sis a much smaller number of clerks will bo employed, a much smaller amount of public money will be disbursed, and tbo pinch will be felt in shops, boarding-houses, and hun dreds of petty ramifications. It will bo a serious loss to Washington, and for thls reason I know of some of Democratic antecedents and convictions who openly de sire Republican success. Hut thoso outside of Washington, who are more interested in public economy than in tho thrift of local trades people at the National capita), will, I think take a different view of the situation. Hancock's Louisiana Order. WHAT JCDOE BLACK THOUGHT AND SAID AT THE TIME. Washington, November 30, 1807. My Dear General : This moment I read your admirable order. I am much engaged but I cannot resist the temptation to steal time enough from my clients to tell you how grateful you have made me by your patriot ic and noble behavior. Yours is the first, most distinct and most emphatic recogni tion which the principles of American lib erty has received at tho hands of any high officer in a Southern command. It has the very ring of the revolutionary metal. Wash ington never said a thing In better taste or bettcrtime. It will prove to all men that "Peace has her victories not less renowned than those of war." I congratulate you not because it will make you the moat popular man In America (fur I dare say you care nothing about that), but because It will give you through all time the solid reputation of a true patriot aud a sincere lover of your country, its laws and its government. This, added to your brilliant achievements as a soldier, will lcavo you without a rival in tho affections of all whose good will is worth having, and give you a place in history which your children will.be proud of. This acknowledgement from me does not amount to much, but I am expressing only the feelings of millions,aud expressing them freely at that. With profound respect I am yours, etc., J. S. Black. To Major General Hancock. Another Grant Republican for Hancock. A BRAVE PENNSYLVANIA QENERAL DE CLARES IN FAVOR OF THE DEMOCRAT IC CANDIDARE. PiTTSBURO, July 3. General A. L. Pear son, who has long btcn recognized as one of the republican leaders in this neighborhood, and who was a warm supporter of Grant ,at the Chicago convention, has declared him self in favor of Hancock for president. To interrogatory, "Are you for Hancock, gen eral?" he responded, "Undoubtedly I am," adding "I will in a day or two send a letter to U. S. Grant, chairman of the na tional committee of tho Veterans' Union (Boys in Blue) withdrawiog from that or ganization. I am the member from this state and have been for seven years. I shall set forth in that letter that I expect to support Hancock and, as the Veterans' Union is a republican organizatbn,I cannot consistently hold the position longer of representative from Pennsylvania." General Pearson went into the war as captain of the ono hundred aid fifty-fifth regiment, and for bravery and ability was promoted to be a colonel.a briga dier general and finally a major general. Uo served In Warren's filth corps, participated in ten battles and was as brave a soldier as Allegheny county sent iuto the field of battle. Hon. Charles S. Wolfe has been nominated by the republican party ot Union county for legislature and it is said the nomination was unanimously tendered him. Union county has able democrats within Its borders, meu whj would be worthy of higher party hon ors than a nomination for the legislature, yet it would seem to be but justice to a good faithful, honest representative to aid in re electing him, though he be a republican. Mr. Wolfe, in the eyes of the people of the state, is the exponent of the sentiment that abhors Canieronisn, rooster ism and legislative jobbery, and tbo demo crats of Union county should just once help to return Mr. Wolfe as an evidence of their endorsement of Mr, Wolfe's conduct iu the legislative riot b'ibery cases. It would be a magnificent tribute to a fearless represen tative, and do more to tna.ee Caineronism odious than any other political coutse. Reading A'twt, What are the people going to do with thow representatives who voted for the Hot bill? Iliiyanl'H Speech, THE STATESMANSHIP or HANCOCK. Senator liajsnl delivered the follow Ion speech bo tore a very largo audience at Vt llmlngton,Uo!awaro last Friday night i Ki low CiririNs: 1 do not know that mjr voice can reach tho ears ot Ml la this vast crowd, and there- foro 1 ask you to proscrvo order. Thcro is a tlmo tor all thtngs-a.tlmo tor laughter and a time tor Idle amusement; but when tho tlmo comes tor American cltlrcns to tako counsel together lo respect ot choos ing their rulers, thon, It seems to me, thcro should bo gravity, a minly c.irncstness t Mng tho placo ot tdto amusements. My fellow citizens, It Is at all times to mo a great plc-asurj to stand lu an assemblage ot Djlawaro men, for hero 1 was born; among them 1 halhcd aid worked, and I havo represon ed them In tho public councils nmt havo received from thcmlroin tho ho.ur ot my entry Into public life until now neat ly the clot-of my second Senatorial term an unswertlng support that would havo sustained me even had 1 been disposed to doubt. This Is an occasion of great Interest and Import ance. The national Democracy tho party that nov cr had a second object or a second.lutent; tho party that always stood by tho banners ot tho delegates, tho representatives and tho Interests ot every stato In tho Union this great party, animated by tho greatest patilotlsm, sent, a fortnight ago, dclcgato" from every state and every 1 errltory to Cincinnati to toko counsel together to chooso a f.taniard-bcar-er of tho faith and principles ot that party In tho coming campaign for tho choice of n President and vico President. Men ot high character and Intelli gence , Btnccrely desirous of doing what was host for tho wIioIh country, m Uo tint choice, and I am hero as your f rlenrt, as your political brother, bount n 1th every Interest of your own, to say that I warmly tndorso tho action of that convention. They havo not selected unKnown menj not men of obscurity! not men ho would be called In slang ot tho times 'dark horees.' No, they havo chosen men on whom the bright light ot public Investigation has been shin ing for ears. For tho llfellmo ot a generation havo they been kcown. Thero is no man In America and few la any part of tho world where the English lan guago Is spoken who did not know and honor Win held Scott Hancock long beroro tho Cincinnati Con vention was thought of Applauso and cries ot "Right," and "Bravo." i9 TO ENGLISH. And so of his worthy associate. Years ago Indiana sent William II. English to represent her in tho councils of tho nation, and thcro ho gave proof of that sterling worth, high Intelligence and unlm peachiblo character that makes him to-day a lit. man to Uiko tho chair ot Vlco President of tho United Stales. 1 ho Democratto candidate for President Is no un tried man, On tho contrary, I shall show that ho his been tried, thoroughly tried, and tint ho can lay claim to a record that his not fallen to tho lot ot any other public man of his lime. (Applause.1 In lsos ho was named by many as tho favorite candi date for Presldent,and tho delegates from Delaware at that Convention, held In New Vork, balloted for him, It I recollect rljht. He was also voted for in 1970, and now for tho third time he stands conspicu ously before tho nation, with his every act subject ed to tho vigor ot partisan examination. And how does ho Btand? Spotless and without reproach, fa vored by the unanimous volco ot tho representa Uvea ot tho party. TUB FISKV T8.ST. Nov. gentlemen, let mn ask you ono thing. Hav ing passed through this lire of examination, let mo ask tho crowd whether there has been tho first breath of suspicion as to tho honor, Intelligence, fi delity or patriotism of that renowned and great sol -dler? Why was ho nominated? He never held a civil of fice. True. He has a military record os brilliant, as unsullied, as glorious as that of any man In America. Wiy did tho Democratic party nominate a military -nun? I will tclljou why. Because this man has proved that God gave him the same charuc ttirhtlca of conscience and of self-control which Ho gave to tho g'cat tleorgo Washington. My friends, this Is not the extreme utterance of a stump speech. It U tho deliberate utterance of a man struggling to see tho right and to follow It. Since this world was there has been no Inlluence so aangcrous and corrupting to men's hearts as the love of power. What was free government designed for but for the protection ot tho minority against tho majority 1 Tho great Jdinicult lcs and dangers to liberty have arisen wherorcr men Intrusted with power havo used it to perpetuate their own sway and bring about tyranny Instead ot limited government, Wo know what mado Wash ington so conspicuous when ho laid down his power and retired to tho privacy ot his home. Thero are many men- as great as ho In military knowledgo and In tho abilities ot statesmanship, but how many other tr.cn would have voluntarily laid down their power when they could have used it for their own selfish, tyrannical purposes? I wish you to compre hend this, because It Is tho keynote ot tho nomina tion ot Winfield Scott Hancock: Ho held great pow. er. Ho was MUltary Governor ot a large extent of country. His will could havo been as law. At his pleasuro'stnod tho liberty of every man. What was hl3 course his courso alono ot all the Military Gov ernors In this country lor the last tit teen years. When asked In Louisiana and Texas to arrest per sons ho Inquired where was tho Judicial process. When asked to try persons by military commissions he pointed to tho court house and to tho lury ot twelve. When asked to take from them their prop erty ho demanded to know by what right under civ il law ho could do theso things. Cries of "Uravo.-'J NO I'lKALLEL FOR UlNCOCE, There havo been soldiers perhaps as able, perhaps as courageous, and that Is saying a great deal; but name mo ono who has refused over and over again to exercise arbitrary power when ho could havo don oso. (A voice, "Konc"l No, you 'cant name one. I havo seen distinguished men, educated wholly la the Republican party, gl mg advice of tho most arbitrary character that can bo conceived; but where can you rtnd a man who hie had tho chal ice brought to his lips that ho might drink full ot control ever his fellow creatures and who you have seen put It aside and say: "I am a military man; I am an American soldier, but I am a citizen with re spect to tho law which Is the constitution I swore to support!" Wo saw the Leg! slaturo of south Carolina organi zed at at tho will ot a corporal without any guard, you all know what was seen In Louisiana. I do not propose to go oer theso recollections la detail nor to clto the unlawful exercise ot military power, but I deslro to show what was the character of the dis tinguished man whom tho Democrats have nomina ted during the time of tho current ot tyranny. The great lesson to be derived from the reslstanco made to the tyranny ot King George Is tho lesson I would bold up to sou now, Ono ot the charges against that potentate was that ho attempted to subordinate tho civil to the military power. Any man who attempts that is not lit to bo a ruler ot men. Tho man of our choice echoes the samo spirit that made our people free in To and which will only restore and consolidate that freedom la isso. Do you not remember that his power was ample, that ho had the same organization, administration, or whatever you choose to colt it that other generals had? Compare him with the New Orlcant, general who besought tho President to Issue a proclamation ot outlawry the proclamation declaring that tho white men of Lojtslana, Alabama, Mlsslsslppl,Texas and Georgia shall be outlawt "and leu e tho rest to me-" Such was the dispatch I shame to say of a major general aye, a lieutenant general of tho nr. my of tho United States. And from the Cabinet a t Washington was bent the response: .' We all ap prove of your action. "These knates have passed lute history covered with lasting reproach, for lielknap, who wrote that dispatch, proved a base rogue, as treacherous to tbo money of America as to the pjln clples ot liberty. This was tho principle this Is to day tho great underlj Ing principle ot the two great parties. During tho struggle from '01 to '03 thcro was Utile law and could bo no law but force; but the drmculty has been that power obtained by forco has been sought to be retained by force.

But first 1 wish to say I do not Impeach the patriotism ot thoso men that differ with me and hold that the safety ot the country la best preserved by tho Repub lican party, but I wish them and )ou tosee where that party would carry us should It remain la pow er. Uy force tho war was ended, and when It was ended a reign ot peace should have taken Its place; but lovo ot power was there, and unlike Washington and Hancock, men wero unwilling to glvo It up, and so there has been a struggle between the kindness and lovo of union of the American people their dis position to forget and forgive on tho one hand and the desire ot the Republican party to maintain con trol by any means on the other hind.

Remember that Han cock not only earned his great renown by refusing arbitrary power when orrercdhlm, but he also In curred thoanlmosltyot thoso whoso purposohorc. fused to carry out and who could make his position In tho army an uncomfortable one. Unfortunately, there has been too much ot this partisan feeling in tho army and navy, and men to gain promotion had to do so at tho expenso of Independence nnd by cov. erlng themselves with partisan clothing. I have had reason to know tho caso of nn officer who Incurred the displeasure of President Grant nnd who asked In vain for a reason until aleadlng Republican Senator told htm that ho had been Indiscreet In dining and wining with certain Democrats. (Laughter.) It Is this spirit that Is dangerous to the army,to tho navy and to us n'l. When this spirit the spirit of Sheri dan's dispatch prevails, why, then indeed the nrmy changes from being tho beloved servants ot the na tion Into a very great danger. MORE TUAN A TRCK SOLMSn. nancock Is moro than a true soldier. As a citizen ho values his right and power abovo his rlht and poweras a soldier. If you ask mo why I love Han cock I say that I know with him tho liberty of my country will bo safe, (applause and cheers.) Ho has proved It. Ills lite Is to-day the most brilliant example (Interrupting voice wny back in the crowd ' "Except yourself") that wo havo among our military men. I do not say that there are nono so brave, so able as he, but I do say that none have been so tried as he and proved himself to possess the lofty self cor- trol which Induced tho laying down ot power at tho command ot conscience. This way I claim he should bo sustained all over the land. My friends, I bid you good night. I have tried to meet this question fairly, It may be remarked that wo havo always talked against military power and yet have taken up a military man. My answer Is, wo do so not because ho Is a mlltary power. We ad mire his gallantry and honesty, b ut Hancock Is not only a soldier, but he Is a man, a citizen, Imbued with a knowledge ot what citizenship should be In a government of law. Nay, thero ls'ancthcrrcason ; theroare many reasons, butlet me state ono moro. There has been a great out-cry la the North that tho Southern peoplo wero antagonistic to the Northern and hated tho government. Now it seems to mo that this bubble must be picked. With a solid south for w Infield Scott Hancock, It seems to mo that thero should bo a solid North tho samo way, surely If the southern people chooso Hancock for some sinister end, they must not only be great knaves but great Idiots. If this battle has to be a success and God grant that It may succeed In the fullest sense what better Instance of success can be found than to see the man who led the hosts ot the Union receiving the vote ot every man who warred against it ? What victory greater than this ? It that be not the fruits ot statesmanship, then pray tell mo what is s tatcsmanshlp for. Marshall Jewell of Connecticut has been selected as chairman of the National Republican Committee. No member of the Committee for this State was present at tho meeting. It looks very much as though Don Cameron had deserted a sinking ship 'What's the matter, John?' 'O! a big boil.' 'Well, wbydon'tyou take Dr. Lind sey's Blood Searcher,' and be cured?1 It should be the aim of every owner of liorses.Cowsc.to make them as handsome and useful as possible. The German Horse and Cow Powder helps to develop all the powers of the animal. It improves its beau ty and increases its usefulness. It makes milk, mucle and fat. By using it a horse will do more work and a cow give more milk and be in better condition with les feed. Sold only hy weight at 10 cents a pound by O. A. Klelm, Bloomsburg. Dec 12, '70-ly Tho Hancock ratification meeting in New Haven, Connecticut, was tho largest hold for thirty years, Republicans admit that tho city will give Hancock 3.000 majority, and the democrats claim the state by n larger majority than thatglvcu to Tilden. When a man now undertakes a larger task than he can accomplish it is said of him ho has bitten off more than ho caii chew. A UDlTOK'S NOTlCli.
