What Feels These Mortals Be!
ll js te ue nejieu mat t.Teiierai nan-
cock willsoen be made aware of his nom
ination What a deal of sickening non
sense there is about sensible men, and
hew apt they are te make geese
of themselves when charged with an un
usual duty ; especially when there is net
much te de. Tliev seem te feel that the
dignity of their position can only be
maintained by a deal of fuss and talk.
Every sane man knows that General
Hancock knew of his nomination as seen
as it was made. Nevertheless, it was
very proper that he should have an offi
cial" notice of it from the ellicers of the
convention or from a committee ap
pointed for that purpose. This is a cus
tom and a sensible one. But why the
president and secretary of the cenven
tien should address a written notifica
tion te General Hancock, and the com cem
mittee appointed te notify him should
de se through a speech of their chair
man, while they at the same time hand
him a written notice signed by them
all, we de net comprehend. The
idea may have been that se much
notification was demanded by the im
portance of the occasion; which is a mis
take, since the performance was unmis
takably absurd. Probably the true
inwardness of it was that nobody who
had a chance te exhibit himself en the
occasion was willing te hide his light.
Old Governer Stevenson, who had net let
his shine very brilliantly at Cincinnati,
wanted te illuminate New Yerk Harber:
ami none of the committee could be ex
pected te ferljear putting their names
down in writing en a paper which would
be laid away among the souvenirs of the
c jmiiig president, and which would serve
te keep their names fresh in his grateful
memory, men ei course me ciiainiinu
had te make a speech when he shook the
General's hand. It would have been de
cidedly un-ainerican, where mere than
two men are gathered together te de any
thing, te de it without a speech. It was
net te be thought of that this com
mittee should meet General Hancock
en such an important occasion without
Hinging at him a speech,notwithstanding
they had presumably said all they had
te say in the written address they hand
ed him. They ought te have done se if
they did net. It is interesting, by the
way, te observe hew this important paper
was delivered the chairman passed it te
the secretary who handed it te the Gen
eral. We arc glad te knew that he has it.
It is pleasant te be assured that the Gen
eral officially and thoroughly knows that
lie is nominated. We are curious te
knew hew and when we are te be. made
acquainted with the fact that he accepts
the nomination. We knew it new in a
manner; but it is acknowledged all
around that we de net knew it in a proper
and satisfactory way. It is incumbent
upon General Hancock te tell us. He
assures us that he will de se just as
seen as he can de justice te the impor
tant question. He is net likely te keep
us long waiting, lie is a soldier and
should be prompt. We expect him also
te be sensible and brief. All he needs te
say is that he accepts the nomination and
the platform of principles accompanying
it. He cannot improve upon the princi
ples, and he has no business te de se if
hi'c.iuld, They state the party belief,
and that must be his belief. He may
properly emphasize the special principles
which he holds te be particularly vital and
renew, as a soldier, his expression of de
votion te the supremacy of the civil
power, lint he need net attempt te vie
with the convention in the expression of
Democratic truths, but will wisely lake
tin; creed as expressed by it, declare sim
ply the feelings with which he receives
the announcement of his selection as
the Democratic candidate for the chief
magistracy, and pretest thesincerity and
devotion with which he will aim te dis
charge the duties of the high office te
which he is sure te be elected ; and he
will then show himself wiser than the
fussy politicians who deluge him with
words and letters and addresses te dis
charge a very simple duty.
A Grave Charge.
The X(ic KraAn commenting upon the
case of Samuel Davies, aii attorney of
Philadelphia, who was disbarred for ap
propriating a client's money, and who
was declared by tlu- supreme court te
have been properly disbarred, says:
" We lay unusual emphasis upon the
.salient points of this case, because we
have reason te believe they have a direct
bearing upon the bench and bar of
Laiieasterceuiity, which is te-day resting
under the reproach of having condoned
or connived at net less than a dozen
offenses committed within the circle of
its membership, any one of which is mere
aggravated than that for which Mr. Da
vies was disbarred. Meney litis been col
lected which was net, and in some cases
litis net yet been, paid ever te the clients
en demand. These facts arc said te be
known, and have been known for some
time, te the members of the bar associa
tion, and have beeiPTlie fruitful text of
public gossip."
That is a very serious allegation, and
being thus responsibly made it becomes
tlie duty of the court te inquire into its
truth. It does net lie necessarily upon
tlie bar, te take action against their fel
low attorneys who may have been guilty
of wrongful acts justifying and demand
ing their disbarment. They have a na
tural delicacy which makes it very disa
greeable for them te act against a brother
atti racy when they are employed te de
se ; and generally they refuse. They
are wrong te de se, and violate their
oaths every time they de it. But they
canuet ba expected te volunteer
in such a disagreeable business.
The duty te act in such cases is, however,
very elearly upon the court. It needs
but te be advised that such charges are
made te resolve that it shall investigate
tiiein. Tlie Xew Era says that it knows
of mere than a dozen instances of these
culpable acts ; it is a charge which can
not be overlooked, especially by a court
se careful of its dignity and honor .is
tliis court lias lately and loudly pro
claimed itself te be.

The author of "A Foel's Errand."
Judge Tourgee, is going te visit several
states te speak for Garfield. Is his idea
te afford a palpable illustration of his clear
sterv.
The Bosten Ikrnld thinks that the an
nouncement that Senater Hamlin, of
Maine, is net a candidate for reelection,
may be looked upon as the venerable sena
tor's lieriedical ieke. and that he may still
be included in the list of aspirants.
The presidential election in Mexico
passed oil with far less trouble than was
apprehended, only one attempt te start a
revolution having been made, and it in
stantly crushed with an iron hand. Judg
ing by the returns in when the last news
left Mexico, Gen. Gonzales was sine of
election. Any attempt te prevent his
taking his seat will be put down without
delay, as Gonzales has taken the precau
tion te keep the army en his side.
Jrnc.i: L.ywkkxck, the Ohie man who
wasappeinted First Contrellerof the treas
ury, hurries te the front te say that the
story about his declining the ettiee is no
such thing. He has tee much regard for
the noble record made by the multitudin
ous sons of Ohie in sacrificing themselves
in the service of their country te think of
marring the heroic evenness of that record
by a single declination. Judge Lawrence
accepts the appointment as a slight tiiliute
te the great state of Ohie.
Tin: ways of the Sultan's court aie pe
culiar in mere respects than one. Mr.
Maynard telegraphs the state dcpai intent
that he has been waiting ten days in vain
for an audience with the Sultan in order
te utter the usual formal farewell, and
wants te knew what he shall de about it.
Meanwhile the postmaster general's chair,
lately vacated by Firing Brether Key for
the mere substantial because mere perma
nent position of a district judgeship, is
waiting for him.
Rochki'ekt gees back te I'.iris planting
the flag of an "Intransigent " or irrecon
cilable, lie was received in Paris by a
crowd of the Kearney kind, ' irreconcil
able" as himself ; and who upon occasion
would turn upon and butcher him without
nienry, just as they did their hostages and
the archbishop of Paris. It is the fate of
such men t be the victimsef the atrocious
doctrines they premulgate against law
and order in society. Kearney has had a
foretaste of this and Danton and I'obes I'ebes
pierre are examples.
It is generally believed that the early
withdrawal of the Tammany ticket in
New Yerk is probable. A preposition te
claim a representation en a joint electoral
ticket in the same ratio as representation
had been demanded at Cincinnati was dis
cussed by the Tammany leaders but
abandoned as impracticable. The present
conclusion is te support the electoral
ticket headed by A bram S. Hewitt. The
Regular Democratic leaders say that when
the Tammany electoral ticket is with
drawn there will be no difficulty in effect
ing a union upjn candidates for Congress
and Assembly.
PERSONAL.
Gen. Jeseph It. Hawley, of Connecti
cut, has been elected captain of the Ameri
can idle team (Frank Hyde s). new in
England.
BitET Hakte's "Twe Men of Sandy
Bar" has been published in England,
probably after careful revision by the
author.
Jefkeusex Davis has just presented te
the city of Xew Orleans, in fuliillmcnt of
the request of the late Mrs. Dersey, one of
her pictures, representing Anne of Austria
exhibiting the portrait of her son te the
French people.
The Most Rev. Archbishop James F.
Woeii is new confined te his bed in the
Episcopal residence adjoining the caihe
dral, Philadelphia, having been taken ill
en Sunday. His physician predicts tiiat
it will be several weeks before he can
again attend te his duties.
Da. Cakveii, the famous California rille
shot, is new astonishing and delighting
German royalty by his magical marks
manship at Ijcrliu and ether places. In
England the Prince of Wales and the no
bility attended his exhibitions. The Prince
gave him valuable presents, including a
scarf-pin and a cealy belt.
James Jacksex Jakves declared that
Bosten, notwithstanding its serious
artistic aspirations, is singularly umees
thctic in temperament. "Like Athens of
old, it breeds men and women who specu
late ceaselessly en matters of. ethics,
science, and dilatfanteism generally, rest
lessly agitating the abstract and practical
problems of life, but, unlike the Athe
nians, manifest no passion for the beauti
ful itself."
Scliurz te Take tlin Stuiuji.
Secretary Schurz proposes te fellow the
example of his associates in the cabinet
in utterly disregarding civil service order
Ne. 1. It is announced that he will make
a number of speeches for the Republican
cause before election time. He has
accepted an invitation from the Repub
lican state central committee of Indiana
te take an active part in the campaign
in that state and will make his first speech
en the 28th of July. It is said that he will
devote himself especially te the task of
trying te make the Indianians believe that
the country is only safe in tbe hands of the
party that would be likely te keep the
great German reformer in office. Secre
