BOSTON, August 28, 1880. General Butler has placed himself squarely on the Hancock platform, and auuounccd his intention to take the stump in favor of the election of the hero of Gettysburg. lie has also officially stated that he is not a candi date for any office, elective or appoint ive this year. The meeting in h anueil Hall, at which these declarations were made, was large and enthusiastic, and was composed of men representing all shades of political optniou. There were Democrats, Grecubackers, Inde pendent Republicans, straight Repub licans, and men on the political fence. On the platform were such inen as Isaac Hull Wright, representing the Fanueil Hall wing; General A. P. Martin and A. A. Haggerty, repre senting the Butler Democracy; Al bert Palmer, John I. Baker and An drew J. Hall, representing the Butler Republicans. Palmer presided, and made a ringing speech, in which lie declared squarely for Huncock. His arraignment of the party with which he has acted for twenty years, was one of the most scnthiujj invectives in the history of politics in this State for a quarter of a century. GENERAL BUTLER'S ADIJRPISS. "By a wise provision of the Consti tution the people are called upon at every recurring period of four years to pass solemn judgment upon the pol icy. integrity ami efficiency of the ad ministration of the government in the past and to choose and appoint those who shall administer their govern ment in the coming like period. If change of policy or administration of government is needed it can only be attained at a Presidential election. Under our system of elections, prac tically, the people must confer their power upon one or two men only, as the supreme executive head of the nation. No third person can he sup ported for President with any result save in the nature of protest ngainst the nominee of the conventions of the two great political parties. There is, therefore, no more solemu duty im posed upon any patriot than to deter mine which one of the two candidates represents more nearly his convictions upon the greatest number of the meas ures and principles of government. All history teaches that long contin uance in power breeds corruption in the administration of governmental affairs; that corruption always seeks perpetuation, and fears change of ad ministration lest its wickedness may be detected even if not punished. ****** When any one of niy Republican friends desire to put to me a political question which he deems unanswer able, he asks, "How can you act with the Democratic party which under took to break up the Union which yon fought to sustain?" The trouble with your question, my friends, is that you have have forgotten the history of your country. A portion of the Dem ocratic party undertook to secede from the Union, and thereby broke up the Democratic party. If the Demo cratic party had undertaken to break up the Union the Union would surely have been broken up. Does any sane man not blinded by partisan prejudice doubt that without prompt, vigorous, loyal, courageous and patriotic action of the masses of the Democratic party that it would have been possible for the Republican party to have preserv ed the Uniou ? Look at the rank and file of our armies! They were as largely recruited from the Democratic as from the Republican party. For the correctness of this assertion let me speak of my own knowledge. I marched to the Gulf with a New Eng land division containing 6,000 men, and there could not have been found 600 men in that division who had ever voted any other than the Democratic ticket. They came back voting for the Union for which they fought, and they save been voting in tho same di rection Bince, and will continue so to vote when they vote with the Dem ocracy for Haneock, by whose side they fought. THE COLOR LINE. Can the Republican administration katJL • protect tho Southern colored niau in all his rights, anil will they so do? Kiuce the war closed, for sixteen years tho Republican party have had abso lute control of tho executive depart ment, and, until tho last Congress, of the legislative department of the gov ernment, ami most of the time by a two-thirds majority. Has that party given protection to the negro in the souse in which they put tho necessity for so doing beforo the people? Their very campaign cry is an admission that they have not so done. If ut the end of sixteen years they claim they must be continued in power four years longer that they may do it, how long shall we, who have some convic tions as to the misconduct of the party in other regards as well as in this, put up with nil the other shortcomings of thejlepublic&n party, in order to have them fulfill their promises, so often solemnly made, and as religiously broken. PROSPERITY FROM ON HIGH. The only other reason given why the Republican partv should be con tinued in power is the present pros perity of the country, which, tlicy do not explain how, is due to the legisla tion or administration of the Republi can isirty. Is this claim a just and tenable one? Every business that could not be effected by legislation or administration is prosperous. The Almighty, in his beneficence to lis, bus scut us the largest crops, of ull kinds of provisions for a scries of years we ever enjoyed, and at the same time also provided a market for the surplus of those crops, amounting iu a single item to nearly 20(1,000,0(10 bushels of wheat in Europe by the failure of the harvest there. Had the Republican party anything to do with that ? Yet the agricultural prosperity is claimed for that party. The balance of trade in our favor was due to that excess of export over import. Is that due to the Republican administration? HANCOCK DI'KINH THE KIOTS. THE RELATIONS OF REOULAR TROOPS TO THE CIVIL AUTHORITIES. From the New York World, Bc|*t*iabr Mr. R. 11. McKune, of Scranton, Pa., who was Mayor of that city dur ing the railroad riots of 1877, is now stopping in Now York, lie was call ed upon yesterday by a reporter, who asked him what were his relations to General Hancock during those days of trouble.' Mr. McKune said: "At the time of the riots, which began on August 1,1877, I bad a po*c comittilm composed of thirty-five citizens which had beeu summoued by my command, as I believed I bad powers equal to those of the sheriff. My posse went on duty ou August 1. On the morn ing of the second two regiments of State troops arrived, ami on the third one or two companies of regulars. By the loth of August there was a regi ment of State troops anti a regiment of regulars stationed at Scranton by Governor Hartranft for my assistance if they should be needed. The fact that there were Federal and State troops stationed in the town raised a question with me as to how I should use them. Maj. Morrow commanded tho Federal troops, and he did not feel willing to give me such informa tion regarding my right to call UJKHI his troops as I deemed satisfactory. Therefore on tho 18th of August I wrote to Geueral Hancock requesting him to give me such information as to my status as Mayor of the city in relation to the Federal troops station ed in the city as would enable me to perform my duties. In answer he sent me tho following letter: HEADQUARTERS 1 MILITARY DIVISION OF THE ATLANTIC, > NEW YORK, August 20, 1877,) "' To Hon. 11. 11. McKune, Mayor o/ Scranton, I'a. "'SIR: 1 have the honor to ac knowledge the receipt of your commu nication of the Ifrih inst. " ' The United States troops were sent to Scranton, on the application of the Governor of the Slate, to assist in pre serving the peace. They were reported to the Governor and are subject to the same legal service as the State troops there. I'hey should not be called upon however, until the civil pome and the State troops have proved insufficient, or unless they are insufficient without the assistance of the Federal troops. "' The commander of the Federal troops on the spot is responsible for his legal action in the premises. He has been advised on the subject heretofore and is no doubt fully aware of hht du> ties under all circumstances. Ido not wish to embarrass him by giving him any further advice or instructions, directly or indirectly. If he wishes such he will doubtless call upon mo for thetn. "' As the preservation of order is primarily in the hands of the Governor pf the .State, I think it would be better for you to communicate with him when the circumstances are not of so impera tive a nature as to make it necessary for you to communicate directly with the commander of the troops on the spot. " ' Who may be the legal conservator of the peace in Scranton (whether the Mayor or Sheriff, or both) I cannot say. That ia a question of law, and you and the commander of the troops can readily determine it. Either the Mayor or the Sheriff, or both (if they have co-equal power under the law in that respect in the city) have legal au thority to call upon the United States troops in certain contingencies to assist in the preservation or the peace. I am, sir, very respectfully, your obedient servant. WiwriELD 8. RANCOUR. "' U. S. A., Commanding Division.' " '"What was the result of this letter so far as you were concerned V' " 'The Federal troops were with HI übout four mouths. I had no need to call upou them, as the Htate troop were sufficient for the purposo. The Federal troops, however, had groat influence iu preserving quiet and in preventing disruption by their mere presence. The letter from Gen. Han cock was just what I wanted. There was no necessity for my calling upon the Federal troops until my own force as Mayor and tho Htate force was ex hausted. All of my posse were in dicted for murder on tho verdict of tho Coroner's jury, and one of the cases being tried as a test case, all were acquitted." REPUBLICAN EXTRAVAGANCE. A BAMIM.B Or TIIK KXI'KNOITI'RBS IN THE IiKI'ARTMEN'TS IN WASHINGTON From the N.-w York Sun. WASHINGTON, Aug. 28,1880. The? Attorney-General's office affords a striking illustration of the official abuses which have grown to full stat ure during the long lease of pqwer the Republican party has enjoyed. The luxuries of the Attorney-General's of fice for a periotl of five years, from 1874 to 1878 inclusive, cost the tax payers 822,702.44. The report of the Attorney-General for 1870 shows 85,- 762.63 expended in the following man ner. This is what the official carriage cost : HtUrjr "f driver of department carriage. s&4n (* l.itvrjr (two) boraee M Medical attendance on atii4<.. ||or* hire 61 50 Purchase of two homes ftfft 00 Horseshoeing 7'J 50 New carriage ft'o 00 Repair* n carriage 41 llnriiea* and repair* I** 1* Two villi* 2 0 Total *1.07* *• In edition to the money paid to maintain this expensive equipment, 8150.50 was expended for street car tickets. Newspaper subscriptions amounted to $98.35, and miscellane ous literature cost 8158.25. Among the miscellaneous expenses were the following: Swso-ping of!W I*4o (* Trip* to Long llramh and New York 1,1" I 77 Trii- to lluiitwvilic, Ala 7.5 Towels 14 .'* !

In 1878 tho taxpayers paid a hill of $184.65 forn trip of the Attorney-General to Colorado, and an other of 839.75 for a fiver to Long Rruneh. A sample of the purchases made with the money of the people is shown in the accounts for 1877. The sum of $22.20 was expended to pur chase tho following boohs, which may he indispensable to a gentleman's li brary, hut are not needed in the I>e partment of .Justice: "Life of l'riuce Consort," "Life of Mnric Antoinette," "Life of Seward," North American Review, and British Quarterly. In 1877, 81,305 was expended for a por trait of ex-Attorney-General I'ierre pont. The sum of $1,035.83 was paid for "washing towels" in the period of five rears. Landaulet. Williams fell into dis grace chiefly because lie expended the money of the government for the pur chase of a carriage in which he drove about town with his wife. Almost every member of Haves' Cabinet drives for pleasure in vehicles belong ing to the government. I'ierrejiont expended more money than Williams did for official luxuries. Tuft's ex penditures in that line exceeded those of l'ierrcpont, and the aristocratic Devens lias run up the hills to a great er figure than Williams ever ap proached. —— Real Statesmanship. Ft.ni S.w York Sun. Tested by his official acts in Ixiuisi ana and Texas, Gen. Hancock stands head and shoulders above all other commanders at that time in the ap preciation of his duties as a soldier under the Constitution, and in subor dinating the military to the civil au thority wherever law was to lie ad ministered or obeyed. His remarka ble Order No. 40 was a lesson to offi cers who delighted to exercise arbi trary power oppressively, and who were sustained at Washington ir. all their excesses, as well as an example of voluntary submission, which entitles him to the highest credit. In a sub sequent order, known as No. 203, is sued on December 5, 1867, he defined the proper use of military power in such clear and concise terms that it will always be recognized as the true application of tho principle which marks the dividing line between law and force under Republican institu tions: "The true and proppr use of military power, besides defending the national honor against foreign nation*, is to up hold the laws and civil government, and to a< cure to every person reaiding among us the enjoyment of life, liberty ami property." "The Commanding General, in the discharge ol the trust reposed in him, will maintain the just power of the judiciary, and is unwilling to permit the civil authorities and laws to be em barrassed by military interference." Again from tho letter to Governor Pease: "It la of evil example, and full of danger to the cause of freedom and good government, that the exercise of th military, through military tribunals created for the trial of offenses against tho civil law, should ever be permitted, when tho ordinary powers of the exist ing Htate governments are ample for the punishment of offenders, if those charged with the administration of the laws are faithful in the discharge of their duties." These maxims are not only sound, but they serve to show what is more important, thut this great soldier was as careful in his studies of the Con stitution, and of dutiful obedience to ifrt obligations, as l.e was in those of the profession of which he is to day the brightest ornament. No civilian however distinguished, and no states man however eminent, could have bet ter laid down the rule of conduct which should govern a soldier intrust ed with civil responsibility, or have better outlined the principles of con stitutional law applicable to it, than (Jen. Hancock has done. I nlike too many who are conteut with empty professions, he lived up to every dec laration. His letter to (Jen. .Sherman, written in the midst of the confusion at Washington, and when many of those accounted most wise had lost their heads in the Presidential compli cation, may well Imj regarded as an extraordinary production. Compared with the speeches on both sides, it ex hibits Gen. Hancock as a profouuder student of the theory of our Govern ment and of its practical working than almost any of the professional "statesmen" who figured conspicuously on that occasion, not much to the ad- j vantage of their reputations. i ■ ' ■ ■■ Population of the 7tli Census District of Pennsylvania.

The Rebel Debt. j Prom tl Cbk Inn**, !oi) To -ay of the whole body of "cam paign literature" and slump oratory with which the country is now cursed that it is unmitigated rubbish, would be to state a general truth.
