HANCOCK evinces his disrespect for his superior officer, thel commander-li-chief of the army, by .running As a candidate for President on a platform which de nounces him as a conspirator. What would lisacoca say of an oilleer of hie staff who appended hts name to a series of regulations denouncing him as a sot, a glutton and a blasphemer? *IIEN the people of the North forget who is responsible for the rebellion—who rebelled—to what political party they be longed—what it cost the nation to sup press the rebellion, and that the country is not free from danger with that party in power, they may vote for General MUSCOCS, but not until then. They have not yet forgotten these things. Tan Utica Herald is of the opinion that with proper effort - and an honest count the' Republicans 'will carry North and South Carolina, Florida and West Vir ginia. In Louisiana and illississippi it has no expectation of a' fair y election, but believes that reasonable - fairness may be secured in the States above referred to if the Republicans are aggressive. Is you want to make a Democrat mad, enquire of him as to the whereabouts of the HANCocs THE Norristown Herald, printed at the birth place of General iLawcocK, alludink to the report that "a%arge_ number of Norristown Republicans would vote for the Democratic nominee of the "Solid South," says : "The number ,is now esti mated at three, and one' of two more Democratic proceisious will send them back to theirlirst love." Tau deaths in Neorl c last week reached the frightful a negate of 1,297 —about one person in 950 of the popula tion:, Heat and filth are responsible for this ten ible rate of mortality. There ire, few places on the continent where nature has done more to insure• the long life of residents than upon Manhattan Island, and there are few places where man has done more, to invite disease and death. Tllis Republican canvass in New York is to be of the most aggressive character. The Republican Executive Committee is strongly convinced that it can carry the State, and is determined to put forth a vigorous and concentrated effort to do it. The Control of one-half of the police com mission by Tammany has re-opened the old war between the Democratic factions, and the Ilepnblican chance fot success is not lessened thci :thy. ONE of t l lO richest featnres of the platferm is the demand for a free ballot.

He is taking • sulphur baths l and.medicine regularly, and is utterly un !ableAo do anything requiring the least 'strain upon hii• nervous system. One of the Current rumors, of whicln 'Democratic 4#:gans are making a great deal, represents that Senators BLAINE and CAMERON,. who are at tho White Sul phur Springs, are not on good terms, and that the Maine Senator 'on one• occasion snubbed the Pennsylvania one. The fact, according to a private letter from the Springs, - is that i Senator . BLAINE takes a horseback ride with Senator CAMERON and family every day, and that they ap iear to be on the best of terms. TUE SOLDIER STATES3LIT Tile Dcwocrstie papers are en deavoring to -- explain the stultifies. ton of ,the r party in nominating a " Man on Horseback," as their can didate for the Presidency, by claim ing for him distinguished civiltier vices while Military Commander of the Southwest. Unfortunately I . the record of General -llANcoca's course in that 'instance furnishes the best evidence why he is not I entitled ti) the confidence-and support of thoSe who believe that every .citizen .of the United States is entitled to the same :rights - Land privileges /.ani to the equal rotection of the American flag. rt.. shows that he 'Was but the willing tool or President Arrnaz:4v JoupoN in his efforts to substitute what' he so arrogantly styled his Policy, for the will of the Nation properly and lawfully expressed through the only power recognized by the Constitution, the Congress of. the United States. .0n one hand was the legislation of Congress,. full of tenderness and mercy for the defeated rebels, but designed to secure s to the country the results of a war waged at the most fearful cost of blood and treas ure, and to proVide guarantees- that no similar experience should be had in the future. 'On • the other hand was the President, o4ginally the rep resentative of the poor whites of the South, pandering to the aristoetatic element'', for the double purpose of in ,gratiating himself , with the class which'arrogantly assumes the name 'of the . rulers of the South, and of securing. a renomination for the residency, in, which he hoped to be elected by southern rebefs and .orthern Deri'ocrats. His "Policy" as the outgrowth of his, position and his ambition: It looked in an ticipation to what was seen later to he harvest of bull-dozipg, . sintition, the seeds of ; tbenalready being sown.

Ammucw arcutusow bad forgot -his declared tention to make loyalty respectable and treason odious—to mike traitors and rebels take back seats.- To be again President he was ready to be humble servitor of the rebeli he had so vigorously denounced, tci surren der every principle for which the North bad fought in the war, and to imperil the , results.pf the contest in .s desire to conciliate those who had made it inevitable by their hatred to the free , principles of ..the loyal, liberty loving people. General HANCOCK was the tool he selected for his purpose. He .took that soldier into his confidence be fore he sent him to take the place of the still more gallant and far more patriotic SnEntDAN. He coached HANCOCK in the part he was to play, and there can be no more donbt that the orders of the military commander issued in New Orleans were prepar ed fur him in 'Washington, than that, as we all know, they were paraded before Congress as models of wisdom, the produCtion of a gallant soldier whose services to the Union could not be questioned; and who exactly 'filled the measure of • what "my volley" required of a soldier states man. It is for this subserviency to the " overpowered though never confiner ed " rebel spirit of the South, arid not for his gallant services in the cause of the Union, that General HANCOCK is now made the nominee of the Democracy for President. It is not for what he, did at Gettysburg, but for his geeking to undo the results of that work by pandering to the rebels at New Orleans, that the Brigadiers of the South and the Copperheads of the North now seek to reward him. Having served them once in Attempts to set at naught the legislation of the Congressmen whose action had saved the Union and was seeking to cement it again, they see in him the proper tool to give to the White Leagues and the Rifle Clubs of the South that supremacy in the Govern ment Of the whole country which their murders and assassinations have declared to them in the South. This is the issue the country is called upon to face. It is not HAN COCK the gallant soldier who is sought to be elevated to the Presi- dency for hi§ deeds upon the tented fie l d; but HANcocK the foe of the ex pressed will of the Northern, Union loving people, propounded by acts of Congress. It is not the man who fought for the Union, but the man who tried to surrender after the war all that he and' his comrades had maintained by their arms,l- whom the Brigadiers and their allies are now running for President. And the people of the North will never be so blinded as not - see all this, and to meet the rebel craft as they met rebel hostility, with a crushing defeat. PIE quiet methods of organization em ployed by the Republican party am begin ning to show most excellent results. While the Democracy have heft' indulg- . , ing in bluster Republicans haxe been qui etly organizing, until - now they are more generally and carefully preparnd for the canvass thanis usually thp case so early. It is also , noticeable that the first lull in Democratic discord which followed the nomination and which was paraded as ev idence. that the nomination of HANcocx and harmonized his party has given way to fierce contests again, and the old fac tional fights: are again in full progress. These signskrf the times are full of en couragement. It shows that the Repub lican party is carefully, earnestly and.suc cessfully preparing for the canvass that that is before it. No parade or •bosting is indulged, and it will not be needed. The few little annoyances that have at tended the harmonizing need !lot prove of serious moment, and can be ended at any time: Indeed, they.are but surface differencesilhat will give way as the can vass opens: .This done, and the Republi can party, in this and other States, will be found united, vigOrous and c harmoni ous, and ready for the work before it. We,are gratified that it evidently under stands that this is to be a canlpaign of work. And this is sure to succeed. EPITAPR FOR THE HANCOCK Boom Since so soon I was done for, I wonder what I was begun for! THE Tribune speak& strikingly when it says that there isn't much of a campaign on either side and yet there is not likely to be much systematic work done for some time yet. The weather will have, the field mostly to itself for the present. But while there is little real canvassing in progress the people are doing a good deal of quiet thinking. The more they reflect the stronger will the Republican cause become. The election of GARFIELD means the continuation of the present successful policy and the continuation of prosperity. The election of HANCOCK means the adoptio r n of a totally unknown policy, which.will didtated .by a party which has steadily opposed the present policy. In short, the country has never voted to change the .politics of its rulers in a time of greater prosperity, and it is not going to make the mistake of doing so this year. The Commissionished their labors Friday night by agreeing that the Dem; ocratic City Committee. (McGowan) was the regular committee, and that all nom- . ihations of the Democratic party should; Vibe made in accordance with the rules of that committee. They say the existing Campaign Committee of nine shall be in creased to twenty-nine, and of this in creased number the County Committee_ shall have eight men. ' The McGowan faction were jubilant in getting all they asked for, and they .illuminated the Americus Club h ouse . The County Com mitte have protestid against the decision, and some of its friends say the breach in. the party will be wider than ever.

Turkish troops are being concentrated within striking distance of the disputed territory. Grillbe,. on the other hand, is putting herself in a defensive -position, and enlistments are actively progr4ssing with a ,view - to the impending struggle. Taking these two nations by themselves there is an im mense disparity in their relative strength and resources. The war, however, if there is one, will not be confined to the immediate parties to the struggle. All Europe will take a band in the fight when it comes, 'and the result is likely ,itit be very different from the issue of the fa mous war of the Crimea.' It will not be this time an alliance of. Franco and Great Britain against Russia for the mainte nance of Turkish autonomy. THE HANCOCK boom attained• the same age given by the boy asked . low old his brother was : "He wan't no old-he died a-trorning," TANNE:II, of Milwaukee, has been &sting, for the hist fourteen days, and proposes to -keep tit np for a period of forty days. Ho is closelywatched, and it is admitted that he has not for two weeks taken any sustenance, and but a small quantity of water, swallowed while rinsing his month. His physical powers have been - wonderfully retained, though ho has lest flesh. It is the opinion of the physicians that he will - hold out for some days longer, but that death will come long hefore the forty days expire.- What good iexult can • come of this abstinence even to science, it is difficult to see, though the medical profession will watch with some interest. In case the Dr. is permitted to die, who will be responsible for the suicide—or isn't it suicide?.And where are the humanitarians whose busi ness it should be to put a stop to the transaction? TitEnv; is good reason to believe that the National Republican Campaign Com mittee will not (have a difficult time in se curing liberas s ubscriptions of funds for the conduct of the Preiidential canvass. Already dozens of New York business men have sent in their subscriptions. _ln deed, tii 4 e nomination of General Anrnun for Vice President has been most ;pleas ing to the business- men of New York with whom he has had dealings, and they will come forward without being called upon. The feign of prosperity which succeeded thef resumption of specie' pay ment has encouraged the Republicans, and they are more ready to assist in a material way the election of the Republi-` • can candidates for President and Vice President than they were four years ago. ELSEWHERE in this issue we give the full text of General GARrIELD's letter ac cepting the Republican nomination for the Presidency. In elcry sentence it is characteristic - of:the man. It enibodieS the whole-hearted rankness of its author, the clear-headedness of - the , statesman, the courage of the true &merican. There, is no concealment of vielvs, no attempt to mistify his own Ideas, no evasion of:a sin gle point or issue-before the country. He accepts the nomination as a great respon sibility, not as a mere compliment to, or recognition of, his 'own greatness. In this General GARFIELD exemplifies the sound, hard common sense that has made him noted among much more pretentious public Men. -We ask for the letter a4care ful reading by all.

GAIIFILD at Mentor, Ohio. , The object of the visit is to consult on matters con nected with the approaching political campaign. PHILADELPHIA LETTER. - PHILADELPHIA, July 12, Ism For the last few tlays a nuniber of sus picious looking characters have beep hanging about, the thalls of the Girard 116 use. There have been mysterious gatherings and secret whisperings, and in fact the very atmosphere ,seemed impreg nated with something important. But it turned out on , inquiry that there, was nothing more or less in it, than the meet ing of the Democratic Peace Commission-A ers, and thcionsequent gathering of the "active workers." Mr. A. H. Dill is the chairman of the Grand Bandhedrim, which is.to weld the Democracy into one loving (if not lovely) and homogeneous mass. To aid in this grand work, comes McMullen and Cassidy and Van; with their grievances and -their propositions, all of which are on the "heads I win, tails you lose," plan. To bring order out of chaos, to restrain the belligerent disposi tion of the unterrified, who arc anxious to fly at each others' throats, is a stupen dous undertaking. and one which has not as yet hien necessarily accomplished. Senator Wallace was dilatory in making his appearance, as nothing could be done without him, action was delayed some days awaiting his arrival. Whatever scheme of pacification may be patched up the same jealousies Nr4ll. remain,, and cor, dial action between the factions is impos- Isible.

DEAR Sin :—On the evening of the Bth of June last I had the honor to receive from you, in presence of the committee of which you were chosen chairman, the official an nouncement that the Republican Na. tlonal Convention at Chicago, had that day nominated me for their can didate for President of the United States. I accept the nomination with gratitude for the confidence it im plies and with a deep sense of the re sponsibility it imposes. I cordially endorse the principles set forth in the platform adopted by the Convention on nearly all the sub jects of which it treats. My opinions are on record among the \published proceedings of Congress. I venture, however, to make special mention of some of the principal topics which are likely to become subjects of ditk i cussion. Without reviewing the con , troversies which have been settled during the last twenty years, and with no purpose or wish to revive the passions of the late war, it should be said, that while the ' Republicans fully recognize and will _strenuously defend. all the rights -re tained by the people and all the rights reserved to the States, they reject the pernicious doctrine of State supre macy, which so long crippled the functions of the National. Govern ment, and at one time brought the Union very near to destruction. They insisted that the United States is a nation with ample power of self preservation; that its constitution and laws, made in pursuance thereof, are the supreme laws of the land ; that the right of the nation to deter mine the method by which its own legislature shall be created, cannot be surrendered without abdicating one of the fundamental powers of the government; that the national laws, relating to the election of Representa tives in Congress shall neither be vio lated nor evaded ; that every elector shall ,be permitted freely, without in timidation, to cast his • lawful ballot at such election and have it honestly counted; and that the potency of his vote shall not be destroyed by the fraudulent vote of any other person. The best thoughts - and energies of our people should be directed to those great questions of tpational well being in which all have a common interest." Such efforts will soon restore perfect peace to those lately in arms .nainst each other, for jus tice and good-will will outlast passion. But it is certain that the wounds of the war cnot be completely healed, and the s Mrit of brotherhood 'cannot fully pervade the whole country, until every citizen, rich or poor, white. Or black, is secure -in the . free -and . unrestricted enjoyment of every civil and political right guaranteed by the constitution, and laws. Wherever--the enjoyment of this right' is not assiired, discon tent will prevail, immigration will cease, and social and industrial forces will continue to be disturbed by the migration of laborers, and the conse quent diminution of prosperity. The -national government shohld 'exercise all its constitutional authority to put an s end to these evils, for :ill the people and all' the States are mem bers of one dxxiy, •and lib member * can suffer- without injury to all ,t The most harions evils which now afflict the Sqlith, arise from the facts that there hi not such freedom and toleration icff ' political opinion-and action, that the minority party can ex ercise an effictive and. wholesome re straint , upo4 the party in- power. Without such restraint, party rule becomes tyranical and-corrupt. The prosperity. which ia• made possible in the South by its great adVantages Of soil and climate, will never be realiz ed 'until every voter' can freely anal safely support any party he pleases. :Next in importance to treedein 1 and justice, is popular educatien, without which neither justice nor freedom can be permanently 'main tnined.

'The af-. fair. was altogether a greai, success and 'the night illumination brilliant in the ex treme. Those who remained to enjoy Abe ball were obliged to face the prevail ing rain storm, to seek conveyance home, which was largely inadequate to the vast throng assembled. The frantic ; efforts to secure a lodgment upon the crowded oafs by those whose only hope rested in them, was characteitistic of Centennial days. All, however, finally reached their desir ed destination, and many with ''saturated and sadly damaged drapery. The Pennsylvania State Agricultural Society has opened an office at Tenth and Chestnut streets, Philadelphia, for the transaction of business preparatory to the . opening of the Exhibition. According to present prospects the Fair will largely exceed all 'iirevions efforts. ThOe has been more applications received thus far for space, than during the whole of last summer,-and it is possible that the total of entries will require, more room than can be given in the Permanent Exhibition buildings. Strangely enough, we have heard less about the peach crop'this season than for a number of years past. The reticence in this respect has been very remarkable, and the only cause.we can assign for it is that tie promifie of an abundant crop cannot be successfully disputed. Unless all present indications are illusive, we shall:have a great many more peaches than last year, the coming crop being es timated by good authorities at not less than half a million baskets more than that of 1879.

GARFIELD'S leinprroa, Ohio, July 12.--peneral asavrELD has forwarded to Senator HOAR the following letter of accept ance of the nomination tendered him by the Republican National-Conven tion : WM ME IMMO country It now enjdyingi should not be 'endangered by any _Tiolent cheek es'or doubtful financial-;e per4o4 4 ! In referegco to our:::e11400 3111 ;'policy should be, puteßett whicltl bring revenues,tto the treasury lind will enable the labor_And capital em ployed in our greatp- industri compete fairlyin- our own nite with the labor and cipititi of foreign producers. We'legislate for the pea ple of the United States, not for the whole world ; and it is our glory that the "American laherer Is more intelligent and better paid than his foreign competitor. Our country cannot be independent unless its people, with their abundant natural resources, - possess the requisite skill at any time' to clothe, arm and equip themselves for liar, and in time of peace to produce all the necessary implements of labor. It was the manifest intention of - the founders of the government to proVide for the common defense, not by standing ar mies alone, but by raising among the . ,_ people a greater army of artisans, whose intelligence and skill should powerfully contribute to the safety • and glory oUthe nation. Fortunately for the interest of commerce, there is no longer • any formidable opposition to approprii tioris for the improvement of our harbors and great navigable rivers, provided that the expenditures for that purpose are strictly limited to works of national importance. The Mississippi river, 'with its great trib utaries, is of 'such vital importance to so many miilions of people that the safety of its navigation re quires exceptional consideration. In order to secure to the nation the con trol of all its waters, President Jef ferson negotiated the ,purchase of a vast territory, extending from the Gulf of Mexico to the Pacific Ocean. The, wisdom of Congress should be invoked to devise some plan by which that great river shall cease to be a terror to those who dwell upon its banks, and by which its shipping may safely carry the industrial pro ducts of twenty-five millions of pea; ple. The interests of agriculture, which is the basis of all our material prosperity, and in whit:a seven twelfths of our population are en gaged, as well as the . interests of manufactures and commerce, demand that, the facilities for cheap transpor tation shalllbe increased by the ese of all our great water courses. - . , The material interests of thiscoun try, 'the traditions of its settlement, and the sentiment of our. *pie, have led the government to offer the widest hospitality to emigrauts, who seek our shores for new and Sappier homes, willing to share the burdens as well as the benefits of our society, and intending that their pos terity shall become an undistinguish able part of our population. The re cent movement of the Chinese to our Pacific coast partakes but little of the qualities of such an immigration, either in its purposes or its result. It is too much like an importation to -be welcomed without restriction ; too much like invasion to be look -led upon without solicitude. We can not consent to allow any form of ser vile labor to be introduced among us, under guise of immi g ration. Rec ognizing iz the gravity of this subject, the present Administration, support ed by Congress; has sent to China a. commission of distinguished citizens for the purpose of securing such a modification of the existing treaty as will prevent the evilai likely to arise from the present siteation. It, is' confidently believed that these diplo matic negotiations will be successful without the bolas of commercial inter course betoireenthe two great powers, 1 e which promiges a great increase of re ciprocal trade and the enlargement of our markets. Should these efforts fail, Fit will be the duty of , Congress ~to [ mitigate the- evils already felt-}end, prevent their increasd. by such. re strictions al, without Violence oria justiee, will place inlet a sure foun dation the peace of "our communities and the freedbm and Align iti 4 bf labor. [ The appointment of citizens to the various executive and judicial offices of the government, is, perhaps, 'the most difficult of , all detieh which the ConstitutioW has imposed union the Executive. The Convention iirise-c ly demands dial Congresa%halE co operate with 'the Executive de] art= in placing the civil serviet on a better basis. Experience haS.frov ed, that with our frequent changes•of administration; no, system of refqni can be made effective and peramant without the aid of legislate*. Appointments to the militarly bpd naval service are rt so regulated by law and custom -as to have bat little ground for complaint. It may not be wise - to make similar regulhtions by law for the civil service, but with out invading ~ the authority or necessary discretion of the Execu . tive, Congress should, devise a method that willl'determine the ten tire of ofilie, - and greatlyreduce the 'uncertainty which makes that service so uncertain and unsatis acbary; Without depriiing any nigee of his rights ha a ciflZen, the fgekr riiment should i requiile ' him.to d4Aarge. all his • official ditties with. iat•elligence, efficiency ant aithfuleesl, To select f: ' wisely from o vast perm :ration those who are best tted foeth:e many offi ces to be filled requires an irequaint ance' far beydnd - the ra:ngelof any one man. .17le Executive 'should, i therefore, seek and receive the infor mation and assistance of those whose knowledge of the communlties 'in which the duties are to be performed best qualifies them to aid in making the wisest choice. ' , The doctrines , announced by the Chicago Convention, are not the tem porary devices of a party to attract voters and carry an election. They are deliberate convictions, resulting from a careful study of the spirit of our institutions, the events of our, history, and the best impulses of ourl people. In 'my judgment these prin-, ciples should control the legislation and adminiskration of the govern.; ment. In any event, they will guide my conduct until experience points out a better way. 7 If elected, it will be my purpose to enforce - strict obedience to the Constitution and laws. and to pro mote, as best I may, - -the interest and honor of the whole country, relying for support upon the wisdom of Cian-- gross, the intelligence and patriotism of the people; and the favor of God.
