According to the Cleveland Ifcrald
another Republican motto lias been
unearthed from Hancock's letter of
acceptance. It is; "A full vote, u free
ballot nnd a fair count."
Chicago Tribune: "It was like
Hancock to write a letter in defense
of the Constitution. No Democrat
ever wholloped a slave except In a con
stitutional manner.
The Boston Journal is cruel
Enough to say that if the Democratic
press had appealed half as fervently
to Democrats in 1863 to follow Han
cock as they do now, there never
would have been any necessity for the
draft.
Cincinnati Commercial'. General
Hancock if elected, would do the bid
ding of the Democratic party; the sys
tem of the party would overcome him;
the bosses would capture liiiu and use
him. He might charge with all his
chivalry against the system for a while
but it would master him, and his fine
flavor of Independence would lie
Whistled down the winds. We are
not in favor of the experiment.
Chicago Inter Octet n: ''Six weeks
ago exulting over the rumored defec
tion of prominent Republicans, the
Democratic paper arc now charging
that the leaders are so clo-ely united
and so curnest in their eilbrts for Gar
field ns to excite suspicion. Then the
Republican parly was to lie beaten be
cause the leaders were sulking; now it
is marching straight toward annihila
tion because the leaders are rallying to
a man around Garfield."
Cleveland Lader: "A revenue
tariff Hiiuply means crippled manufac
tares, lower wages to the industrial
classes, and workingmen out of em
ployment. This is something for our
manufacturers, mechanics and opera
tives to think about before voting to
change the political character of the
Government. The South, as every
mau of intelligence understands, is
running the Democratic machine, and
it will take special pleasure in stop
ping the spindles and looms and
putting out the furnace Hies in the
Northern States. Jtisnow a simple
choice between future prosperity, so
auspiciously commenced, and ruin and
bankruptcy to our industrial interests.
Elect a Democratic President, hacked
by a Democratic Congress, and the
country may be assured of a revenue
tariff for the benefit of the pauper
labor of Europe, in lieu of a taritr for
protection and for the benefit of the
American working classes."'
The Hon. John I. Mitchell, Rep
resentative in congress from the Six
teenth District, and a very useful and
able member of the Pennsylvania
delegation, has at the solicitation of a
large number of the Republicans of
Tioga county, consented to be a candi
date for renomination. About two
months ago Mr. Mitchell declined to
be a candidate again, in u letter which
attracted much attention at the time as
au admirable statement of the qualifica
tions required in a Representative in
Congress, and in which, speaking of
the difficulties that beset Congres
sional life, he said: "I think an alter
nate member of Congress, whose duty
it should be to attend to all such work
ahd to take all blame for it, would be
a most desirable improvement iu or
ganic politics. He could seotogarden
seed, pensions and public documents
at the same time. He would soon
have enemies enough, if you add ap
plications for appointments, to keep
Jiim in office for life out of pure spite."
Mr. Mitchell will, of eour.se, bo sup
ported by Tioga, which casts the Re
publican majority of the district
Lycoming, and, in fact, nearly every
county included, will present a candi
date. Phi la. JYcs.
The National Republican Committee.
New York, August 6. The Repub
lican National Executive Committee
to-day listened to arguments of lead
ing representative Republicans from
Florida, North Carolina, Virginia and
west Virginia in relation to the status
of the purty in their respective States
and the means devised and needed to
conduct a vigorous campaign therein.
The Southern Republicans were con
fident that at least two, if not all, of
the four states named could bo carried
by the Republicans, provided they re
ceive substantial aid from the North
ern people who fuvored the party. The
National Omimittee agreed to do all
In its power to aid the Republicans in
Florida and West Virginia and after
he October electious to lend a helping
&huU to Republicans of other Southern
Hancock's Jealousy.
To thofe who know the feeling of
Gen. Hancock toward the late slave
holders and his sympathy with them,
it will not bo a surprise that- his pre
judice against the colored troops at one
time was attended with most disaster
ous results. It will be remembered
by civilians who watched army move
ments closely mid by the ofilccr and
soldiers of the army, who were spec
ially Interested In the success of the
Union arms, that there whs great dis
satisfaction with the result attending
the celebrated mine explosion in
front of Petersburg and the causeless
slaughter of colored troops under
Burnsidc. There nro members of the
Md Regiment in this city who tell of
the apparently criminal silence of
batteries which should have spoken
on the right and left of Rurnsido as
his colored troops made their memora
ble charge on the dismantled fort. It
is in accord with this general under
standing; of the luck of support given
P.urnslde on that occasion that the .fol
lowing statement Is made by Dr. W.
S. Matthews, of Youngstown, O., who
was present at the time, lie said:
"It is a historic Friday and n. historic
date. Sixteen years ago to-day Burn
side's corps made its disastrous attempt
to capture Petersburg, and the Demo
emtio candidate for the Presidency
was there. Burnside had laid his
plans for the capture of Petersburg.
He had driven sixty feet perpendicu
larly under the fort on Cemetery Hill
and set a mine of ten tons of gun
powder. Ruriisidc's corps occupied
the center. Warren and Hancock
were on the Hanks. The rebels had
countermined, but. had gone down
only 10 feet, thinking that Ruriisidc
would not go beyond that. The
mine was sprung, the fort was blown,
the rebels were killed or mutilated
who were in the fort, and those around
driven in consternation. The. charge
was made magnificently, and it was
supposed that Petersburg was ours.
Hancock and Warren however,
through jealousy of rjuriisido, lost us
the day. Their men begged to
charge with the Burnside corps but
Hancock replied that he 'would lie
d d if they should.' liurnslde's ex
pectations was that these two generals
would at least amuse the rebels on the
flanks while he drove hi wedge into
the center and broke the rebel line.
s it was the rebels had their own I
way of it. As Buruside's corps
charged through the demolished fort,
tliey were soon expo- "d to an enfilad
ing fire from either think, and horri
ble was the maacre and .Hsastrous
was tho result of one of his be.-t plan
nod schemes of the war. We were
driven bade in confusion and rout to
our old line. The negro division
suffered terrifically, Such was the
vanity of Hancock and Warren, their
miserable jealousy, their fear that
some other general would win the
glory, even at the expense of the vic
tory of our arms and the lives of our
soldiers." The doctor says he thinks
that if the ninth corps boys had got
hold of Hancock and Warren that day
they would have choked them pretty
lively,
Tun Dkmociiatic Pahtv. The
Democratic parly labors under historic
us well us constitutional difficulties.
Since the downfall and disappearance
of the slave power us a compact politi
cal interest from which the Demo
cratic purty, more than twenty years
ago, derived its morals, its logic, its
political skill and workmanship, that
party has been floundering about, out
of logical connection with the day;
never knowing the time of day; al
ways looking for something to turn
up, and when something did turn up,
spoiled it; lamely lagging in the rear
of the requirements of the day, al
ways behind; denouncing us impossi
ble things that were already accom
plished facts; with a strange incapacity
to understand the present to incisure
the future, making itself the recipi
ent and rallying point of a'l danger
ous and obstructive tendencies and
elements, and thus committing blun
der after blunder, which ot t lie mo
ment of their birth is uniformly
gloried in a.s great strokes of policy
from the secession movements in IHtjl
down to the nomination of General
Hancock in 18s!). Hoii.Caiu. Schckz
at Indianapolis.
Boston Journal: "That there is a
decidedly more confident feeling in
Republican circles now than there was
immediately after the nomination of
General Hancock is perceptible on ail
sides. The independent press, which
con not be accused of undue regard for
the Republican purty, admits that
during the past three weeks the drift
of sentimentin the North has been in
favor of the Republican ticket. Re
ports from Republican leaders and or
ganizers, both private and public,
from every part of the North indicate
growing confidence and enthusiasm
with general harmony. There is no
exception to this state of fooling in
any State in which the Republicans
feel that a battle is to be fought."
The Pittsburgh Dixpateh, npronos
of tho case of General Pearson, who
has turned Democrat, and ex-candidate
for Governor Mason, who, from
being a Democrat and a Greenbacker,
has become a Republican, says: "We
maintain that a man has a right to
change his polities as he changes his
diet. If the pabulum which lias lain
comfortably on his political stomach
for years becomes suddenly nauseating,
he should change his food and should
be permitted to do so without having
the fact heralded and discussed in an
annoying manner"

General Hancock's Ancestry.
The foolish "Pedigree" of General
Hancock, which t he Rochester, N. Y.,
Union and Advertiser set afloat, and
which tho Democratic press has been
copying to prove that the General is
tlie grandson of old John, of Massa
chusetts, the President of the Conti
nental Congress, has been pretty
effectually riddled, though so absurd
a piece of campaign falsehood ought
to have been detected at once by every
intelligent person Tho persistency
of the Democrat io newspapers in
printing tho stuff with allusions to
their candidate as "tho grandson
of the illustrious John Hancock,
whose bold signature," etc., etc., must
have been quite annoying to the Gen
eral and his friends who were ac
quainted with all the facts of his
ancestry, and are well aware that it is
not traceable beyond his father on the
male side.
A few facts, however, show the folly
of tho pretense that 'Squire Hancock
of Norrlstown, was John Hancock's
son. The latter died in (Juincy,
Mass., in 17M, while lienjamin 1
Hancock according to his own state
ment, was born in IT), in Philadel
phia. John Hancock was married but
once in 1775 his wife being Dorothy
(Juincy. They had but two children,
a daughter horn in l?7-, in Philadel
phia, nnd who died there in infancy,
and a son who lived to be nearly
eleven years old, and died in conse
quence of a fall on the ice while
skating. Mr. Hancock, of Norrls
town, had of course no relationship
whatever to these people.
Cleveland Leader: "General Han
cock seems to be blessed willi a plastic
disposition. In 18ijS the Democracy
declared the Reconstruction .Vets re
volutionary and void, and to t his Han
cock said amen. Now he takes ground
in favor of the inviolability of the
amendments to the Constitution, the
very amendments that the Recon
struction Acts were passed to enforce
Like his purty, General Hancock lias
as many faces as there are points to
the compass."
Milwaukee Sentinel: "Both Gen
eral Hancock and Mr. English in
their letters of acceptance promise
most earnestly and strenuously that
thev will support the Constitution.
Somehow the Roimlilican candidates
do not have so much to say about this
matter. It is evident that the people
have no uneasiness about their devo
tion to it. The Democracy Moth pro-te-t
too much.' It protects that it does
not want the Southern claims paid or
Confederate soldiers pensioned. It
espoi-iully pr-itcsts thai the purity of
the h-illot-box shall lie pi-rserved. It
appcars to the
ii necessary to do a
go;id deal of this kind of
must be that they arc g
business. It
iior.illv sus-
pected, and where there is so much
smoke, it is altogether probably that
there is some fire.

The parents of little Luiu liuugh
nian, Mr. and Mrs. Baugliniau, n-'
Market street, buy for her now and
then a little birch beer, which the
little gill likes very much. She is a
bright lassie about lour years old, but
she came very near dying Saturday
afternoon. She was playing by her
self when she suddenly came running
to her niother.choking and strangling.
Mrs. IJauglimau thought that the
child had swallowed something, like
a thimble or button and began trying
every means to "bring it up." Finally
the little one got black in the face and
went into a violent spasm. The
thoroughly alarmed mother sent in
hot haste for Drs. La-diell and Nodin
I who fortunately were close at hand
I and saw at once that the case was one
of violent poisoning nnd admin
istered antidotes so eflbctualiy that it
was not long before the child recov
ered sullicieiuly to explain matters.
She said she had drank "out of
a bottle." Investigation showed that
she had taken a swallow from a bottle
of gasoline which she had found, and
mistaken for birch beer. At lust ac
counts she was recovering rapidly.

Tho Tilusvillo Herald's Stoncham
corespondent gives t he following
funny incident: An amusing incident
occurred yesterday near here in which
the well known operator, Mr. Joseph
Magee aggravated an Irishwoman by
leadinghertosuppo.se that her farm
was mellow witli oleaginous wealth.
She is the proprietress of a nine acre
farm and Mr. Magee approached her
with, "Madam, I will give you 84,000
for your farm!'' The size of the offer
ing startled her and the first idea that
entered her mind was that her land
was great oil territory. She refused
this great olfei and Mr. Magee raised the
tender to jo,ooo, which was still more
decidedly refused. Again the would
be purchaser made an advance upon
the territory, offering -ii,0o0. This
time the owner was wrought up to the
belief that her land was a great for
tune of money, and she refused to sell,

The Rev. Mr. J. A. Danks, a Re
publican of Mercer county, wdio has
boon credited with an intention of
voting for Hancock, writes as follows
to the Mercer D'wpateh: "To me Gen
eral Hancock was, and I presume lie
still is, a gentleman and a soldier,

(Special Icspatc;li to tli Cincinnati Gazette.)
Columbus, Augusta. The Demo
cratic press nro moving around at a
lively pace in their endeavors to refute
the evidence of Jerry Ward, formerly
a member of tbe 4th Ohio Volunteer
Infantry, wlio told the story of Han
cock's brutality to a reporter of n
Western paper, published where Mr.
Ward now resides. Any effort, how
ever, in that connection will prove to
lie without avail. That General Han
cock did use insulting language to
the tth Ohio, us charged by Mr. Ward,
Is susceptible of proof, and your cor
respondent has several names of men
who were present when the sai l lan
guage was used, and will make affi
davit to the sams If requested. In an
interview with Mr. Robert D- McCur
ter of this city, nnd who was a
member of Company C, 4t,li Ohio, nt
the tinia referred to, I asked him if
there was not some mistake in Ward's
statement. He replied, ''No, sir; every
word that Jerry Ward says is as true
as the Gospel. But he does not tell
the whole story." Com panics A.
and C were in the advance when we
reached the stream, not far from
Wurivnlown, Va. We had halted nt
the stream, wailing for the pontoon
wagons to co, ne up, as the stream was
too high to ford unless the men
waded above their hip., and there did
not appear to be any necessity for that
as we were not expecting a fight, and
there had been no evident hurry on
the march. Soon after we had hailed
General Hancock rode up on his horse
and danianded of his officer in com
mand why he had halted. The
olllcer replied that the stream was too
deep to wade and they were waiting
for the pontoon wagons, which would
soon be up. General Hancock at once
burst out in a rage of passion, and
heaping abuse upon the olll-.'ors and
men, .said; 'Make the
swim it, then, if it is too deep to
wade.' "
Reporter Did Hancock really say
that.
"Yes, sir. I was but about twenty
feet from him and heard it and so did
every man of the advance, and I tell
you it made our bloo 1 ooii, and the
only thing I wonder al is lout lie was
not shot dead on the spot.'-
A Philadelphia!! sent hi-i hope
lessly drunken wife to a pauper asy

1 he Pool master Iirougut a suit to com
pel him to provide maintenance, and
obtained the following decision by
Juile Briggs: "There is no ground
that will warrant a husband in not
defraying the expenses of a pauper
wife, unless her conduct is such as
would entitled him to divorce. Drunk
enness is not within the enumerated
specifications for a divorce in Penn
sylvania. Notwithstanding that your
wife is antncuraliie inebriate, you will
have to support her. Drunkenness is
like insanity or any other of the phases
of inability to perform the marital
contract and as between the taxpayers
and the husband, the law says that
the wife must be maintained iy the
husband. You look her for hotter or
for worse, ami you have no right to
discharge her and throw her upon the
county for the worse."

' A NEW DEPARTURE! V
BEST PLOW IN THE WORLD!
THE SYRACUSE CHILLED FLOW CO.
of 8yraouse, N. V.
Are now putting on the marker, a Plow that
Is aa much superior to aujr now heretofore
mane as the Plows of the past fow years havo
been superior to those made half a century
ago.
It combines aU the exoeUcncles of any Plow
In use.
It obviates all the objections made to any
other Plow.
In addition It embraces several new features
of the greatest value, for which we have ob
tained exclusive Patents.
Its Heam,Clev1s, Jointer Standard and Wheel
Standard will bo STEEL, and Its mold board
will be a composition ot Steel and Iron chilled
under a process for which wo have also
obtained au exclusive Patent. It will bd
called
THE SYRACUSE
CHILLED STEEL PLOW
Its weight will bo eighteen pounds less than
our present styles.
A first-class Btcel Plow, made In the or
dinary way, full rigged, retails for twenty-two
dollars. Inferior steel Plows retail from six
teen to nineteen dollars.
The price of our new Plow will bo but
Seventeen Dollnrn, and It will be tho
cheapest Agricultural Implement ever sold.
Its mold board will outwear three of the
very best kinds of the ordinary steel mold
boards.
It will scour in soils where nil steel plows
and all other plows havo hitherto proved a
failure.
With tills Plow will be Introduced a corni
gated Plow Toint and Jointer Point, on which
we have also obtained a Patent, and which Is
also a great Improvement, both as regards
strength and wear.
The Jointer can be shifted so as to tako
more or less land, and also more or less pitch,
and It can always be kept on a line with the
Plow.
The wheel will run under the beam or ono
side of It as desired, and always kept In line.
Tho beam Is adjustable for Spring or Fall
Plowing, and also for two or three horses.
The handles can be adjusted to accommo
date a man or boy, on the same Plow.
It is a perfect Plow.
Wooden beams arc going out of use because
they shrink, swell and warp, and never run
two seasons alike.
Iron beams are too heavy.
Malleable beams become demoralized and
bend, which Is much worse than to break.
A Steel beam Is the necessit y ot the day. It
Is three times as strong and very much lighter
than any other stylo.
When we say a Mold board Is chilled, the
farmers know It is so.
We do not palm off on them a composition
of various metals and call it chilled metal.
We want agents for this new Plow In every
town In this Slate.
V"o can give but a very small discount to
them, but we will pay the linllioad Freight.
We propose to place this Plow in the hands
of Farmers as near tho cost ot manufacture
as possible.
It will be the bent Agricultural Implement
ever sold.
It shall also bo the chmvst.
Persons therefore who uro not willing to act
as agents on the principle that "a nimble six
pence Is better than a slow shilling," need nod
apply for an agency.
No Plows on commission. All sn les absolute.
CThl3 Is tho ouly Steel Chilled Plow la
the. World.
Steel costs several times more than Imn.
Put tills Plow, full rigged, by giving small
discounts, can be sold for Seventeen Dollars.
C'ompn re this pi Ice with that of any Irou'Plow
ever made.
It Is cheaper than any other Plow now
made would bo at rive dollars nnd a halt
Where there are no agents wo will, on re
ceiptor Seventeen Dollars, send a Plow to any
Railroad station In the State and pay tho
freight. Address,
