The Letters Written During the Crisis of '7O. GENERAL SHERMAN** CONFIDENCE IN THE NEXT I'REFTLDENT —IIE 18 OPPOSED TO GRANT'S METHOD or miNci TROOUS— SOMETHING ABOUT BROTHER JOHN —THE PRESIDENTIAL QUESTION. NEW YORK, August 20. —The " Life of General Hancock," published to-day by Apploton A CO., contains his corres pondence with General Sherman of December, 1876, and .January, 1877, in the course of which the letter already Siven to the public, written at C'aron elet, Missouri, December 28. was ad dressed to General Sherman. The latter wrote December 4, granting Gen. Hancock's application for leave of ab sence to go to Carondelet and in his letter made the following allusion (the only one) to political affairs. Referring to the orders sent by the President to Gen. Kuger, commanding the depart ment of the South, General Sherman said : A HAD PRECEDENT. " The political orders to Kuger at Columbia I preferred should go from the President to him through the Sec retary of War. They were not military. I dislike much to have our soldiers used in connection with -a legislative body, but orders coming from the President have to be obeyed. They form a bad precedent, but thus far have prevented a collision of arms between inflamed partisans." A letter from Hancock (not included in the published correspondence) ex presses some uneasiness on account of a newspaper report he had seen stating that he was to be ordered from New York, and appears to have furnished occasion for the following letter from Sherman, dated December, 1876: "Lest your peace of mind may be disturbed by foolish reports bandied in newspapers about your being ordered from new York I will tell you that there is not a word of truth in it. Nei ther the President or Secretary of War has ever intimated to me such purpose and 1 know 1 have never said a word or written a syllable to the effect. I see in the Republican (of St. I<ouis) that not only was the order made but that I destroyed it and tore out the leaves of the record book containing the copy. The whole thing was and is an invention by somebody who wanted to create a sensation. BROTHER JOHN'S ASPIRATIONS. The same is true about John Sher man intriguing to be President of the Senate that he might be President atl in/erim . he has told me that be has never heard the subject broached, that he would not accept the place ss he prefers to be where he is now, Chairman of the Senate Committee on Finance."' Ihe letter concludes: "No serious changes in the command are being con templated and when tbey are you may be sure that I will give you the earliest notice. There are men on mischief intent who would gladly sow the seeds of discension among us of the Army. Truly, your friend. " W. T. SHERMAN." This letter is followed by the Caron delet letter to which Sherman replied as follows : THE RBPI.T TO THE CARONDELET LETTER. DEAR GENERAL: I did not receive your most interesting letter of Decem ber 28. lam very glad to have your views in erlcnto upon subjects of such vital importance. Our standard opin- I ions are mostly formed on the practice of our predecessors, but a great change was made after the close of the civil war by the amendments to thet'onati- | lotion, giving to the freed slaves certain civil and political rights, and empower ing Congress to make the laws neces sary to enforce these rights. This {lower is new and absolute and Congress las enacted laws with which we are not yet familiar and accustomed. (See ' pages 348, 349 and 350 of revised slat- ! utes, section 1,989, edition of 1873-74.] As a matter of fact I dislike to have our army used in these ciyil conflicts, but the President has a lawful right to ! use the army and navy, and baa eier j cised the right, as he believes lawfully 1 and rightfully, and our duty has been and is to sustain him with seal and sin cerity. As to the Presidential election, we are in no manner required to take the least action, but to recognise him as president whom the lawfully appoint ed officers declare to be such person. I , hope and pray that Congress will agree on some method before the day and hour arrive, but in case of failure to elect by or before the 4th T March there will be a vacancy in both the offices of President and Vice President, in which event the President of the Senate becomes President pro U *., and a new election will have to tie held under the law of 1792. (See title 3, chapter I. pages 21, 22 and 23, Revised Statutes.] It is well we should com pare notes and agree before the crisis is on us, but I surely hope we may pass this ordeal safely and peacefully. f will be pleased to hear from you at any time. (Signed) W. T. SHERMAN. The next letter published is from General Hancock to General Sherman, dated New York, January 2. It is as follows: A LETTER FROM HANCOCK. GENERAL : An anonymous commmuoi cation to the Secretary of War dated Louisville, Ky„ December 16, 1876, reached my headquarters on the 27th of that month from the office of the adjutant general of the army. It re presents that in the contemplated up rising of the people to enforce the In auguration of Tilden and Hendricka the depot at Jeffersonville is to be seized and is expected to arm and clothe tbe Indiana army of democrats. The endorsement on this communica tion made at your headquarters dated December 26, 1876, Is as follows: "The official copy la respectfully re ferred to Mqjor General W. H. Hancock, commanding the division of the Atlan tic, who may draw a company from Geo. Ruger, commanding the department of the South, and post at Jeffersonville depot, with orders to protect it against any danger." The terns of the endorsement imply an exercise of discretions on my part which lends me to write to you before taking action. In my judgment there ia no danger of the kina the anonymous oommunicatiqp sets forth or any other i kind at Jeffersonville depot to justify a movement of troops to that place. Such a movement, it seems to me, would in : volve unnecessary expense and would create or increase apprehension for which there is r.o real foundation. There are no arms or ammunition at the Jeffersonville depot and if such a • force aa is referred to could be raised for rebellious purposes, it is not likely that it would begin by seizing a depot ■ of army uniforms, and therefore, if there are grounds for action of the gov ernment I see no danger in delay which will result from this presentation of the subject to you. If, however, in your i better judgment a company should be sent there, it shall be promptly done as soon aa you notify me to that effect, i As I have already said, I do not act at , once; because in your instructions you say 1 "may" send a company there, which I construe as leaving it some what discretionary with me. I return ed on tbe 31st of December, 1876, from St. Louis. lam very truly yours, "WINFIELD 8. HANCOCK, "Major General Commanding." AFTER THE CARONDELET LETTER. On the 19th of January Hancock wrote to Sherman that he bad been so busy that be had not yet written as he intended In reply to th acknowledge ment of his letter from Carondelet. He says : "I wished to notice simply your reference to tbe revised statutes and one or two other points in a brief way. I will do so yet, but not to day, as I am house bunting. The proposition*for tbe joint committee insures a peaceful solu tion of the presidential question if it becomes a law, and in my opinion gives to Hayes chances he did not havo be fore. I have considered that Tilden's chances were impregnable, not so Hen dricks'. Now it seems to me that Gov. Hayes has something more than an even chance, but the definite results cannot be foreshadowed. Fortunately trouble need not be provided against by the use of the army should the bill become a law. H the bill passes and General Grant vetoes it Tilden's cliances will be stronger than before—certainly if he and bis friends support the meas ure. Public opinion will strengthen bis position. The danger in the compro mise question or joint committee plan is that the defeated candidate might appeal to the supreme court on the grounds of illegal (unconstitutional) de cisions. lam very truly yours, WINFIELD H. HANCOCK. General Sherman writes the closing letter of the correspondence (as pub lished). It is dated Washington, Jan uary 29. He says: SHERMAN ON THE ELECTORAL COMMISSION. GENERAL: The passage of the bill for counting the electoral vote, approved bv tbe President, ends, in my judgment, all possible danger of nonfusion or dis order in connection with the presiden tial imbroglio. 1 feel certain that the dual governments in South Carolina and Louisiana will be decided by the same means which determines who is to be the next president. Therefore with the consent and approval of the secretary of war now absent, we want to return the troops temporarily detached heck as soon as possible to the post* occupied before the election, with this exception, that the twelve companies (now thirteen) or the equivalent of a regiment remain here in Washington for a time. Tbe remainder of the letter relates to the disposition of the troops in the south. LETTER FROM PITTSBURG. ■ t|rl*l CurrtMpuudriKs of lE* DCMOCRAT.

I hat will be doing pretty well. Coff roth will be re-nominaled in the Somer set district, and the Republicans ara divided as to who shall run against bim. There are only thgee dangerous men in the district of Ooffroth, vis: Morrell and Rarker of Cambria, and Cessna of Bed ford. Coffroth ean beat anybody else easy. Morrell and Barker are both off. and Kounts of Somerset, and General Jake Campbell of Cambria, are striving for the nomination. Kounts can be beeten easy enough, and Campbell was beaten before. Cewns might take a little work. HANCOCK'■ RACK HON*. But Ilßaoock absorbs all interest. "Can we carry Pennsylvania for him ?" is tha question the rank and file are asking eaoh other. % The Sherman letters to Hanoock are published and show Hanoock up fur ther as a stalwart Democrat. In the letter dated Jan. 19, 1877, "Tha prop* sition for a joint commission, tf U be comes a law, gives to Governor Hayes chances that ne did not have before. I have considered that Mr. Tilden's chances were impregnable, now (with this electoral commission) it seems to me, Governor Hayes has more than an equal chance." KRTETOHB. * ; THE DEMOCRATIC NORTH. A Million More Democrats North Than South. THE CHEAT CENTRAL STATES DEMOCRATIC — FIVE DEMOCRATIC STATES FURNISH MORE SOLDIERS TO TIIE UNION ARM V THAN THIRTEEN REPUBLIC** STATES. The Pittsburg Post, under the title of "A Htudy in Figures," publishes the following truthful and excellent article which completely dispones of the con temptible republican falsehood that the voting strength of the democracy is con fined to the southern states : The republicans assume the demo cratic party is or will be controlled by the south and in southern interests. No attempt of this kind has been made since the war, and to the only one before the war, in the disastrous Charleston convention, and the bolt of the southern leaders, tbe republican party owes its success in 1860. There is no danger of its repetition. A good many republicans, judging from the way they talk, believe the bulk of the democratic party is at the south. A Garfield organ the other day declared "the democratic party was composed two thirds of southern and one third of northern men." We have heard the same idea declared from the stump or through the press hundreds of limes, until it has become a matter of common republican belief. But this is one of those falsehoods that is easily exploded. We annex the democratic vote of the northern and southern states in 1876, as stated in Spffor(Ti American Almanac, adding the democratic vote of Colorado in 1878, that state not having voted for president in 1876, the electors being chosen by the legislature : North. | South Altbcmi ' ArkAD* | 'Afl Tl f'nliLiriiiA..... < omifctlrut. 61 .'.*'*4 Colorelo lVnaL*.- DrUtt*r# Clortdl —...! itWPI < gift j I 11 lit,oia 2" OUI Indiana tl■l/i'ifi' ~.......... lo IlJ.iF.r# ............ . k*ntu< ky ( l&i.Mtfl i/Kiifkoi NyM Mai no 49.N4 Maryland H,7m Mamma/ tiuwft* Michigan Ml "- MlnfinuU - MlteMpfrl.

So it will be seen that it is much : nearer the truth to state that tbe demo cratic party is composed of two thirds northern and one-third southern demo crats. Four years ago, we had an army < of 2,682.688 northern democrats, and yet the republicans have the unparal -1 leled presumption to assume that their I party constitutes or can man make a {"solid north!" In November the northern democratic vote will not fall j below four millions. Nor is this all. In the southern col umn of the above list are included the states of Delaware, Maryland, West Vir* ginia, Kentucky and Missouri, which never joined the rebel confederacy, but on the contrary, contributed largely to the succeas of the Union arms. These states sent to the federal army, ss ap pears from official reports, the following ' number of soldiers: Mi wart —IWJ.III M.rj Ln-I K-ULOFKR U.CTU Virginia . Totnl in. These five border states—where it meant and cost something to he sl'uion man—contributed more soldiers to ihe Union army than the annexed thirtees northern states, on which it relied to constitute the "solid north."

Take the great belt of central and power ful states, stretching from Connecticut on the Atlantic to Illinois on the Missis sippi—ell northern states.-Tbey contain a population by the last census or 19,. 418,000, not so very far from one-half the total population of the thirty-eight states. These great commonwealths, it is not too much to say, embrace a great proportion of the money capital, manu facturicg and business enterprises and activity, industrial progress, intelligence and culture of the whole Union. As it were, they are the heart of the nation, and their population in finance, husi ness and enterprisa reach to its fhrthett extremities.

And yet the Radicals have the hardihood to talk of a "solid north " aa something within their grasp for purposes of further oppression A the aouth and to rekindle the dying r embers of sectional strife. The figures we have given not only expose the | falsity and aLsurdity of their allegation about the composition of the Demo cratic party but show that the Radicals i are powerless to organise the northern section of the I'nion as a solid foite against the Southern section. Paragraphs from Forney. j A new dishonor in the shape of Pa cific Mail Subsidy, awaits tbe lie Golyer candidate. Garfield's campaign biography wa* ! rough on Oakes Ames. Whereupon the j young Oakes demanded that Garfield modify the language of the book or faee further revelations of his corruption. Garfield weakened at once and the new edition is not like tbe first. A lot of parrot politicians are shriek ing Itepublican ism, who are no mora genuine in their professions than a set of play actors trying to show that they are real kings, when they are merely spangles, paste and feathers. General Hancock seems to be the constable to clear out these intruders. • As long as you sing in the Itepublican choir and echo their sentiments, )ou are a saint, but if you utiera discordant i note you are a traitor. "Yes," says Forney, "I did apeak well of Garfield, but then I did not I think of his record. It was not my business to keep a list of his jobs. Whst !it ia all men know now and I revolt from it." There ia hardly a Itepublican leader of any note who has not privately ad mitted that Garfield's nomination wa a blunder and that blunder wa* more j than a crime. Garfield won a title at Chicago he could not wear, and from the scarlet letter of his own guilt, he ahuddered ; I " What will Mbcrman think of me?" "When tbe convention at Cincinnati nominated Hancock, a light broke around me, *' aaya Forney, " and a voice of peace and brotherhood which was to silence sectional hate. Thousands ol | Republicans fell the same way." The saddest sight of all ia to see this Maw-worm, this Pecksniff Garfield a candidate for President of tbe great United State*. They cannot tarnish the brightness of Hancock's fame, nor add the ldast light to Garfield's black record. One man may not do much in this campaign, but it was the single bell on the rampart* that saved Holland from the engulfing sea. The Republican fnewtpaper* from Maine to Maryland, including the pious pages of Harper t Weekly, which never ' sees any sinners save those who do not : worship in its church, are now war to to the knife on tbe South and on Han cock as a I)emocrat. The Republican papers first (forged that tbe American people owed nothing to Hancock lor his great services, but this aroused such a storm among the ! Republicans that it was dropped like a hot coal, scorching only the hands of the authors. The ghoat of the Credit Mobilier and He Golyer will not down. Tweed temporarily broke down tbe democratic party by his fierce robberies 1 Nick Riddle fimolted the Whigs, and Garfield is now the poisoned sausage by which the Republican party will see death. " I will/' aaya Forqey, "join any side, or drop any side, if by ao doing I can get the American people to be good to each other, to be grateful to those wbo serve them, to put the beat men in of fice, to help our youth lo be honeat and manly, and have pluck enough to drive out of positions of trust, a set of roer eenarie* as utterly disqualified for pub lic responsibility aaany that ever lived."
