Fit Three weeks ago ( Jen ed on business connected with the De partment of th Atlantic to Philadel phia, where he remained two days, and then proceeded to Washington. In Washington a boil developed itself on the back of his neck. It was lanced on January 3 and as the General was much inconvenienced by its presence, be returned to New York several days sooner than b had designed. During las" week the boil developed into a ma lignant carbuncle, which suppurated constantly and prevented rest or sleep. Dr. .laneway was called in attendance, and It was nut until marked weakness hail resulted from the presence of the catbuncle that the surgeon discovered trial General Hancock was suffering from diabetes and kidney troubles. Dr. Jneway called in consultation Dr. Sutherland, Medical Director of the De partment, and Dr. D. M. Stemson, of i'ew York. The medical men conclu ded on Monday that the case was assum ing a yery serious form. At 10 o'clock on Monday night before going home. Dr. Jane way found his pa tient in good spirits and able to assist himself, and he left him apparently im proved and in charge of the Hospital steward Robinson. At C:45 on Tuesday morning Mrs. Hancock dispatched an orderly for Dr. Jaueway, as she feared the General was sinking rapidly. The doctor came speedily and found the General in a comatose state with a fee ble pulse and all the premonitory symp toms of death. The doctor summoned the two physicians already named. Hypodermic injections of brandy and ether and of carbonate of ammonia and brandy were administered. These, how ever, only alleviated the suffering of the soldier, who gradually sank away until death was touched at 2:33 r. M. , as sta ted. Iu the words of Dr. Janeway, "the General went down at the close of bis life like a person descending a flight of stairs." When death came the three physi cians and the hospital steward only were present. Mrs. Hancock was then in an adjoining room. The General leaves hia widow and three grandchil dren, two girls and one boy, named Mata, Ada and Gwinne, the issue of tbe General's son lluasell, who died on December 26, 184, and whose loss the General has ever since mourned. Johu Porter and also the court that tried Mrs. Sarratt and others charged with complicity in the assassination of President Lincoln. Both tribunals were oreanizad by the then Secretary of War, Edwin M. Stanton, to convict, and the verdicts in both cases have been practically reversed by the more consid erate judgment of the Nation. The conviction of Mrs. Surratt and her sub sequent execution is regarded as noth ing less than a military murder. .ven Andrew Johnson, who approved me sentence, afterwards apologized for it by making direct charges against the Jadge Advocate, Hot. for withholding important facts in the case from him. So in like manner the verdict against Fitz John Porter has been reversed by a court of Inquiry after a thorough inves tigation into the case, which the Hun ter court-martial from the nature of things did not make and could not bave made, by General Grant and by both houses of Congress. It was owing to Hunter's vandalism in tne Shenandoah valley in the early part of 1804, his wan ton destruction of the residence of Gov. Letcher as wed as the homes of sev eral other leading citizens, and his sack ing of the Military College of Virginia, that the torch was applied to Chambers- burs in July of that year by order of Gen. McCausland, a Confederate commander. The burning of Chambers burg was the legitimate outcome of Gen. Hunter's barbarous mode of war fare in the Shenandoah valley, and In that light will be viewed by im partial history. In his recent speech in the House of Commons Mr. Farnell referred to the loose talk that the Protestant minority In Iieland would feel the necessity of outside "protection" in the event of the rights of self-government being granted to the majority of the Irish people. On this point he said : We bave been spoken to to-nieht about the necessity of protecting the "Loyal mi nority." Well, sir, I w3 myself born a Protestant. 1 have lived a Protet3::t, and I bop to die a Protestant, and If in the fu ture, after the concession of the Irish claim any danger were to arise to mj Protestant fellow-countrymen, I should be the first tD stand up for that liberty of speech and that liberty of conscience, and liberty to live and thrive of every section or the community, whether they were Protestants or whether they were Catholics, and perhaps I may be more effectual aid to them In times of rial dar.eer than some of those gentlemen who talk so loudly and boast ao much. But I have no such apprehension. I am con vinced that the Catholics of Ireland would not attempt to oppress their Protestant fellow-countrymen, and that they would de sire that it would be their object, in view of the history of aces, the history of the past, that the Protestants of Ireland should have more than fair plav, that they would en deavor to bring them to the front and give them the fullest share in the government of Ireland. .1 The legal maxim that "a man's house li his castle" received a very emphatic Indorsement in Judge Thayer's court in Philadelphia one day last week. One night recently a negro was discovered robbing a money drawer of a milk store near the residence of Charles Hunter, a one armed colored man. Thomas Mc Laughlin, who was employed in the milk store, and a man named Bernard Devine gave chase to the till tapper, who managed to elude his pursuers. Suspecting for some re ison that Hunter was the thief, McLaughlin forced bis way into Hunter's house and dragged him before Mrs. Bradley, the owner of the milk store, who declared that he was not the man. The reason given by McLaughlin for seizing Hunter was that his door was wide open and be was crouched behind it, peeping out. The Judge said this was no excuse in law, and a verdict of guilty was rendered. In passing sentence upon McLaughlin, which was a year's imprisonment. Judge Thayer pronounced tbe offense one of a most aggravating character. A man's Louse was his castle, he said, and if a ruffian could enter it and forcibly drag him from it and abuse him no man's liberty was safe. A good many men possess the unfor tunate talent of talking too much. Oue of this stripe is Dement, who was appoiuted Surveyor General of Utah Territory by Mi. Cleveland and whose nomination has not yet been acted on by the Senate. He is either an Indiana or an Illinois man and came to Wash ington from Utah a couple of weeks ago full of his own importnee, and fatally bent un producing a sensation. He was idiotic enough to hunt up several news paper correspondents to whom he de tailed a wonderful story of his exploits in unearthing a fearful amount of cor ruption on the part of high public offi cials and memliers of the two Houses of Congress iu connection with Morraou affairs. Everything that fell from his wagging tongue was, of course, given to the public by the correspondents, who were delighted to find that Dement was so thoroughly posted in regard to the corrupt practices of the government of ficials in Utah. His statements created a genuine sensation at Washington, but when Dement saw them in print he went before a Fenate Committee and denied that he tad ever said what was imputed to him. Then the half dozen correspondents asked to be heard by the Committee, and they all swore that Dement told them everything they had published. From this mixed state of things the conclusion is very violent that there will be an early vacancy in the office of Surveyor General of Utah. PemenV has forgotten that speech is silver, but that silence is golden. In the House on Tuesday, Feb. 2d, during the delivery of the Hendricks' eulogies, Mr. Randall, who rartly speaks on such occasions, attracted the most attention when be rose and addressed the Speaker. "The life of Thomas A Hendricks," be said, "was singularly rounded and complete, and it is not sur prising that his death excited lamenta tion, treneral and sincere. We are. told by Divine inspiration thai 'no man liv eth and no man dieth unto himself.' The incidents of this noble and honora ble career, the story of this leader of men, has been fully depicted by loving friends, and the lesson of wisdom they teach has been eloquently entorceu. The whole field has ben covered, so that to a scrupulous and careful gleaner there is little to add. une cnaraciens tic of Mr. Hendricks to roe lent con stant beauty to his life. He was tbe embodiment of the old Latin saying. 'Mild in manner, resolute in conviction. His ways were gentle and kind, but in u mutt.r nf ri jht and wror he was fixed and immovable; no seductions could allure, no terrors frighten him To duty he was fidelity itself. He was easy of approach. He dwelt iu greatest inti macy with his neighbors. He knew the heart-beats of the people. He could not be deceived as to their wishes. To bis earnest good will they responded with the most generous confidence. His gentleness of manner won them to his presence, and then his learning, firmness, honesty, fidelity and logic bound them to htm. a a h was greater than others indi vidually by whom he ws surrounded, so, too, he was always stronger than any political organization to which he was attached, lie was a aevoiea stu dent of tbe principles of our republican government. He anchored his hope in their preservation in their pristine in tegrity. He was the firm defender of our well balanced powers and the dis tribution of duties between State and general governments. He believed that our liberties weie secure only when all tendencies toward centralization and toward pareutal government were re sisted and destroyed. Full scope was to be given for the regulation of mere tocal affairs to the home ru'.e of State Legislatures and the action of Congress was to be confined to legitimate r euera GLADSTONE OME MOKE .It is possible that some changes may be made before the meeting of Parlia ment on Thursday in the list of names attributed by cable reports to the new Gladstone Cabinet, or in the distribu tion of tbe posts assigned to them. lut from the known opinions of the mem bers designated, and the no less sugges tive purport of the omissions, we are able to foiecast the relation of the Min t-he crucial question oi uumc SEWS AND OT11F.K SOTIGS. From Pole to Pole of istry to rule. r v.o f-. nf it the composition the Cabinet confutes the rumor that Queen Victoria successfully attempted to impose, aud that Mr. Gladstone con sented to accept, conditions fatal to the independence of a Minister. There is, to be sure, nothing absurd to suppose that a personage who in her youth pro voked a Ministeiial crisis by an idiotic quarrel about her ladies of the bed chamber, may have tried to extort by an empty threat of abdication from the chief of the Liberals a pelf-stultifying promise to betray his lnsn anies. dui. the day has long gone by when such a menace could have terrors Tor the self ruling British nation, and :t would probably be heard witn some iimn isfaction by the prince of Wales. Al bert Edward may not be the pattern of a blameless prince, but he keeps his eyes and ears open, and he knows that a roy al dummy propped upon a wabbling throne must not be wooden-headed, but as pliable as wax in the hands of con stitutional advisers. Nor is it likely that Mr. Gladstone will prove less aelf respeciing and intractable than was the elder Titt toward her present Majesty's r-jnrifai hpr nr less conscious that his true lord paramount is the people speak- ... - .....1..11, . r ,-i 1 1 rr ll ing wito sovereign auiuumj iuivu6i. its House of Commons. We may take for gran ed. therefore, notwithstanding the unfriendly gossip of Tory clubs and drawing rooms, that Mr. Gladstone, if he resumes office at all, will do so with the determination to advocate such measures with regard to Ireland as shall commend themselves to his sense of right and of abiitty to secure the sanction of the people's representa tives in Parliament. He will no more be swayed from bis deliberate purpose by a threat of abdication than was Earl Grey bv the like irsincere and bluster ing demonstrations of AVillian IV. against the first Reform bill. That the new Cabinet is organized with a design of dealing in a thoroughgoing fashion with thf Irish Question seems clear, as affairs. In his public conflicts he never j W8 riave S)iul, fiom both the positive and lost the sweetness and gentleness ot nis daily life. He was fixed as fate iu his resolution, yet as affable as if he sailed only over summer seas. "It i! fitting and proper that the great commonwealth of Pennsylvania should pity the tribute of its afTeciitui to the memory of Thomas A. Ileudrit ks. He was ti e descendant of one ol her own children. His uncle, who was SDle representative from Indiana to Congress from 1810 to 1822. governor of that Suite from lS22'o 12-", and from the latter year to ls:j7 it United Si-ates Senator, was born iu Wthttrti Pennsylvania, in Westmoreland county, as likewise was the father of the father of Thomas A. Hendricks, who in after years, in addi tion to the honors worn by his uncle, was elected to the Vice Presidency of the United States. They were Scotch Irish pioneers, belonging to a race of men of spiendid physical foirn, courage and endurance, and renowned by their menial vig.jr and strength of character. These pioueets were tut ancestors of mauy distinguished fCj-lies of the South and West. Wherever those brave men fixed their abode the land brought forth abundantly and the people pros pered. The Vice President died as he had lived, calmly and serenely. "Like a shadow thrown softly and sweetly from a passing cloud death fell upon him.' " ATTOIUVLY tiL&BKAL GARLAND. The liquor question in Ohio some times assumes a most singular shape. The other day a member of the lower branch of the Legislature of that State introduced a bill which provides that no person shall sell, give or furnish intoxi cating liquors to any one who is not a legal habitual drinker, and who has not with him a certificate showing that he is such a drinker. Any resident of Ohio, more than twenty-one years of age, the bill further provides, may be come a legal habitual drinker by mak ing an affidavit before the Probate Judge of his county, registering his name, age, residence and occupation, and paying fifty cents for registry and the certificate, which the Judge is there upon iequired to issue. Selling to a non-registered drinker is a misdemeanor punishable with fine and imprisonment. A man in Ohio who wants to get drunk according to law, never had as good a chance as he will if this bill passes. Few men in the country better un derstand the Irish situation than John Boy'.e O'Reilly, the distinguished editor or tne lioston ruot. l or this reason his views of the new English cabinet are worthy of careful consideration. He says : "On the whole, I don't think the new cabinet is one from which Ira land can expect generous treatment. It is a compromise cabinet, and the most extraordinary hash of public characters presented by England for half a centu ry, and yet I foresee that the Irish ques tion Is in a fail way to be settled." Mr. O'Reilly'ft abiding faith rests on the wisdom of Gladstone. Tub Johnstown Tribune says that tbe Democratic papers of the State are using their most subtle arguments to induce General Hartranft to enter the field for the Republican nomination for Governor, and thus make a contest be tween him aud Beaver that will inura to the benefit of tbe Democratic nomi nee. The imputation of the Tribune against the Democratic papers of the State lacks a foundation upon which to rest. Our understanding of the matter is that a man by the name of J. Donald Cameron proposes to put up Hartraoft against Beaver in tbe Republican State Convention, and that be is backed up in his wicked Intention by ore Christopher L. Magee, of Pittsburg. At all events, such is the rumor that comes from the eastern and western portions of the state. Democrats can feel no possible Interest in the question as to whether Beaver or Hartranft shall b tbe Repub lican nominee for Governor, and with them it is a matter of supreme influence wiic.li oue of the two is nominated. Ti e Tribune, however, ought to know that it dou't require a "subtle" argu ment to induce Hartranft either to ac cept an office or become a candidate for one. Like Barkis, he is always "wi!l- Tnre strike in the Westmoreland and Fayette coke regions still continues with no prospect of an amicable adjust ment. Several fnrnaces bave been com pelled to stop for want of coke, and if the strike continues ten days longer, many thousands of men who work !n iron and steel in their different forms will be thrown idle. It is a wretched state of affairs, for the existence of which a heavy resionsibility rests some where. The "company store" swindle, a device to cheat laboring men out of half their wages, is the main cause of all the trouble. Mr. Garland, Attorney General, was one of the origiual promoters of the Pan Electric Telephone Company. He was such before he took office ; and other men prominent in public affairs were similarly Interested in that enterprise. On going into office Mr. Garland stiil retaiued his stock. While iu office the charge was made that tbe Leli telephone patents had been obtained by irauu. Up.in these patents a monopoly was es tablished that was enjoining "infring ers" right and left, having us own way iu the courts, because, as was alleged, it was not permissible under the law for the defendants to bring in evidence of this fraud by the Bell people. Appli oation was then made to have the f laud question tested in the only manuer in which it could be got at, viz : in a suit against the Bell monopoly by tbe United States. It fell to tbe lot of the Attorney General to order this suit. Ou account of his interest in the rival Pan-Electric concern he declined to act, and referred the case to Secretary Lamar. Mr. La mar did not own a dollar's worth of stoclt in either of the corporations. He made a protracted inquiry, and ordered, in tbe interest of the public, that the question of alleged fraud bv the Bell people be tested. Should it be proved that the Bell pat ent is based upon fraud, tbe result will be the making of the telephone public property, to be manufactured or used by anyone who may wish to enter on the business. This would bring down the cost to a mere fraction ot what it now is. Such was the stage of affairs when the two leading Demociatic papers of .New York came out with a long history showing what was already known, thai Attorney General General Garlaud and other public men owned stock in the Pan-Electric Company, and arguing that this was the cause of the suit agaist the Bell, and then hysteiically calling on Garland and Lamar to resign. Anything so stupid or so vicious cannot well be imagined. If the Bell monopo ly is destroyed no Pau-Llectnc monopo ly is created. That the public should be made to pay tribute for tbe Bell patent if it was not pioperly obtained, because Mr. Garland happened, long be fore becoming Attorney General, to own Btock in a rival company, is also a ridiculous non-sequitur. That Mr. Gar land or Mr. Lamar should resign be cause the Bell people do not approve of his course is a proposition which should excite a broad smile from these gentle men. It is to the credit of the Republican press that it has not very generally en couraged this transparent assault on Garlaud and Lamar for doing their du ly the question not being a party one at all, but of a strictly business and le gal character throughout. The two Democratic organs that started this as sault would be doing the Democracy a j questionable favor if they succeeded in coalmining it to tue suiukili oi h luu ruouit7rt nrincioles traceable in US lor mation. Not one of the former more or less conspicuou ) Liberals who desert ed him iu the memorable division on the Collings amendment, and who had declared themselves inexorably opposed loan Irish Legislature Lord Harring ton. Mr. Goschn. Sir Henry James, and Mr. L. II. Courtney has thus far been mentioned upon either of the Min isterial lists published. We liud upon them, ou the other hand, the names of those distinguisiird Lib-rals who have publicly advised the restoration to Ire land of legislative independence we re fer to Mr. Childers, to Mr. John Morley and Earl RoseUrry or of those Whigs and Radicals who have lately been con verted to t lie home ru'.e faith by Mr. Gladstone's personal influence or the pressure of event, like Eail Spencer, Fail Granville, Sir W. Ilarcouit, Sir F. Herschell, and Mr. Chamberlain. From a Cabinet thus constituted not only Irish patriots, but the down-trodden masses of the English commonality, have far more to hope than they could have from a Ministry including such refractory elements as Whigs of the stiff-necked Harrington order or Liter als of the Goschen and Fors-er type. We see, then, that Mr. Gladstone ha3 called about him men disposed, as we have reason to believe, to deal justly with Ireland, and possessed of the pow er to fulfil their good intentions. The men we have named should be able to carry not next week, or perhaps next month, but at a reasonably early date a biil creating an Irish Legislature through the House of Commons. And when the bill is throw n out, as it doubt less will be, by the House of Lords, they can enter on the final struggle at the ballot box with bright hopes of success. JV. Y. S'ui, Ftbruary There could hardly be conceived a more outrageous exercise of despotic power than that proposed by Prince Ijinmarrfc in expel ling the Poles from Prussian Poland. The country was oricirally acquired by dismem berment and partition, precisely as robbers divide the booty they are strong enough to get awav with. But it is a crowning act of ferocity to drive the vanquished people off of tne lands they have tilled and owned for centuries. If the people of Connecticut should be thrust out of Connecticut by the government of the United States, and only paid fer their possessions what it pleased the Federal Dower to allow, we should have brought home to us the almost inconceivable cruelty nf the Polish expulsion. The crime of these poor people Is that they have dared to thin it for themselves, and to disagree witli their tyrranous rulers. It Is impossible to believe that the safety of Germany Is en dangered at a time when the power ot Ger many among nations was r.eyer less open to question. Philadelphia liecord.
