In 16G7, only two years after the close of tbe war against tebellion, Han cock placed himself in the way of the practical operation of tbe Congression al Reconstruction measures. lie be. came Andy Johnson's right band mill tary man. It was the first chance be Lad to show the character of his civil rule, and he dil it in the interest of the rebels, and that is what secured biui tbe nomination for the Presidency. m When Andy Johnson came to be President, tbe first tbiug that he did was to have his Attorney-General to give an opinion pronouncing the Con. gressional reconstruction laws unenn. etitutioual, null and void, and Han cock's order No. 40 was inspired by that opinion of Johnson's Attorney. General. If Hancock, so early as 1867, could throw himself across the pathway of the Congressional recon struction laws, what will be do if be be comes President Baltimore City will Iwin a week of festivity on October 11, 1880, in honor of the city's one hundred and fiftieth anniversary. The programme of exercise and entertainment for the occasion is most elalorate and com prehensive. Everything that relates to the public history of Maryland and Baltimore that is worth knowing will be expressed in such a way that the work of the past 130 years will be made clear to all who give atten tion to the anniversary programme. B.Jtimore will be a ple:isant place to visit during anniversary week. To the student of history the organiza tion of each and all the States are interesting, but none can be more so than that of Maryland. It differs from that of Massachusetts and Penn eylvania ; the two just mentioned were organized nuder more plebian views, while M:iryland was purely patrician or aristocratic in its organ ization. Hancock on Rebel, and Union Claims. The almost fabulous amount of South era rebel claims that have been put on file at Washington have led a large number of the people to conclude that when the Democracy get into power they will pay tbe claims as on fi.e. The honest portion of tbe Democracy protest against that ; but, as that por tion of the party could not prevent re bellion from being attempted, it is be lieved that they will bo powerless to prevent tho payment of tbe rebel claims when a democratic Congress and a Democratic President are seated in power. Hancock has been importuned to say something on the question, lie wrote a letter last Thursday, saying that be is not in favor of paying "South ern war claims," but he goes further ; be declares himself as opposed to the payment of Union claims of more than fifteen years standing. He does not say so, but the inference is deducible, that be favors the payment of none or all. That would euit tbe Brigadiers to a letter. U hat will Forney and Mc Clure say now ? Col. MeCIure Las been the advocate of the payment of the Pennsylvania Border Claims by tbe National Government, but now that Lis bean ideal of a Presidential candidate, Genera! Ilanoock, has set bis face against the payment of the claims, what will the Colonel say llemember the promises of Polk, Dallas and Shunk and tbe tariff of 1S42. Rebel and Union Claims. The uneasiness that exists in the public wiud s to tbe payment of rebel claims, millions of dollars of which are on file at Washington, has caused Han cock to write a letter on the subject of claims. He might have briefly slated tbat he will not favor the payment of rebel claims, but his letter is a donble ender, and may be interpreted to mean that he is in favor of respecting all claims, both Rebel und Union, or none. Viewed in such a light, it should be viewed with great caution. Again, when view ed in tbo light of Democratic history, with its promise in 1841, tbat ths Polk administration should, if elected, re spect the tariff laws of 1812, it be comes a matter of still greater oaution to the people of tbo country. Han cock, if elected, may do as Polk and bis friends did repudiate all promises. The letter is of great importance on account of the double construction tbat can be put on it. But here is tbe let ter : "Governor's Island, X. 1'., Sept. 23, 18S0 To Theodore Cook, Esq, Cincinnati, Ohio Dear Sir: Your letter of tbe 20th instant has beeu re ceived. I regret tbat you are disturb ed about that bugbear, ' Southern war claims.' Tbe people cannot be misled by it. To suppose tbat 'rebel claims,' or claims in the interest of persons who were in rebellion, can in any way or in any degree be countenanced is an im putation of disloyalty such as used to be made against Demosrau, even when they were in arms defending the country. So far as it touches me I denounce it. The government can never pay a debt or grant a pension or reward of any sor! for waging war upon its own existence, nor could I be in duced to approve or encourage payment of such debt, pension or reward. No body expects or wants such unnatural action. To propose it would be an in sult to tbe intelligecce and honor of our people. When rebellion was crushed the heresy of seceision in eterv form and in every incident went down for ever. It is a tbm of the dead past. We move forward, not backward. If 1 were President I would veto all legis lation which might come before me pro viding for the consideration or payment of claims of any kind for losses or damages by persons who were in rebel lion, whether pardoned or not. In re lation to 'Union war claims,' tbe gov ernment's obligations to its defenders come first They are lasting and sacred. The public laws of civilized nations do not ia general recognize claims for in juries to property resulting from the operations of war. Nevertheless our Government has treated with great in dulgence the claims for losses and dam ages suffered by Union men from tbe military operations of tbe war of tbe Union. But as hostilities were closed more than fifteen years ago, claims of tbat nature now mostly in tbe bands of brokers or persons other than the original sufferers are becoming stale, and, in my judgment, wight fairly be considered as barred by the lapse of time, and if hereafter entertained at all should be subjected to the strictest scrutiny. Yours, very truly, "Winfield S. Hancock." The JVbrtA .imencan say : Tbe Dem ocratic ultimatum is precisely tbe same now as it wis in 1800 not to submit to the election of a Republican Presi dent. The rebel horde fancies that General Hancock can be induced to forget his war record and bead a force seize the government, as Tildon was expected to do in 1S77. It is the brag gart's policy, and tbe men who make these threats would be tbe very last ones to do any actual work in tbe way of fighting. The threats, however, should none the ler-s arouse the people of the free north and west to the dan. gcrous tendencies of tbe Mexicanizing policy of tie Democratic party. - - - .

HOW THE CANVASS IS CONDUCTED. Senator Bayard' Dtfeuct What the 'Rail' aud ' A'igs' Mutt do to Live in Peace J Sample Tune Ballot Fraud The Red Skirts. A correspondent writes from Spar tanburg, South Carolina, as follows : The Democratic rally at Anderson was a greater success in point of num bers than that at Columbia. There was a large procession of mounted men, among whom were about one hundred and fifty Red Shirts. Mr. Bayard delivered his Columbia speech almost verbatim. He introduced a new feature, however, in the shape of a defense of the five citizens of An derson who in 18GG murdered in cold blood, ten TJryon soldiers who had been left to guard some cotton be longing to the Confederate govern ment, but which had been seized by the United States troops. This mur der took place just over the Georgiti line, and tbe bodies of the murdered men were thrown into the Savannah river. The charge of murder against these men, two of whom sat on the platform by Mr. Bayard's side, was, he siiid, utterly absurd; and he charged that tbe Government, in find ing them guilty of murder by a court martial presided over by General Sickles, was guilty of an act of un justifiable oppression. He himself, prompted by the spirit of mercy, ap plied for and obtained a writ of ha beas corpus,- and the courts took charge of the criminals, who were soon after pardoned by President Johnson. After this Mr. Bayard at once found himself in full accord with his audience. He came nearer being a bull-dozer than ever before in his life ; and I venture to say that if he stays much longer in South Caro lina he will become imbued with the spirit of intolerance which prevails here among the Democrats. Shak ing of the Independent movement, which at the worst is but a protest against the solid Democracy and its tyrannical sway, Mr. B:iyard used these significant words : " There are such things as treason to a party, which is as foul as treason to the 1 country." He went over his hard money argument ugain very elabor orately, but in the midst, of it he was interrupted by a row between a lied Shirt and a policeman, and nearly half his audience went off to see the fun. Senator Butler followed with a rat tling attack on the llt-publican party, and a defense of secession and rebel lion. To undo the damage caused by D. Wyatt Aiken's recent strictures on the Democracy of the North lie ex tolled Vallandigham, Pendleton, Voor hees, Thurmaa, Fernando Wood and Samuel S. Cox as heroes whose deeds of moral courage far outshone those of Hampton. Lamar, Gordon and the rest of the Confederates in the fiel.L The men of the South, he said, only had the North to meet in battle. The noble Copperhead had foes in front and in the rwir. The speeches of Senator Butler anil Congressman O'Connor at Co lumbia struck the key-note of the campaign, so far as the treatment of " Rods and niggers" is concerned. The negro is to be cajoled by llattery, bribed with small gifts, plied with whisky all to gain his adhesion to the Democratic party and finally, if he votes with the "Rods," his vote will be thrown out. Tbat is tbe whole of it. Tbe white Republican will not be molested if he bas tbe discretion to keep bis mouth shut and slay at home. Rut if be does mingle in politics, then be is to be ostracised, his business is to be broken up. and without the firing of a gun or a resort to actual violeoce, he is to be taught tbat the freedom to ex press one's opinions does not exist in this Stale, except on the banners exhib ited at the mass meetings of the Demo cratic party. A leading Democrat of Greenville, "Governor" Perry, former ly a distinguished leader of Red Shirt bands, has written a letter to the Green ville .Wits, in which be says : "Tbe poor, miserable, unprincipled white mau who tries to restore the Radical party to power in South Carolina should be socially ostracised, and not even spoken to ou the streets. He should be treat ed as an enemy to bis race. Tbe col ored man should be told tbat Lis lead ers are making a tool of him only to gratify their pitiable ambition, and for the chance of stealing his bard earn ings. He should be told, too, that if be wnl vote to place rogues and scoun. drels in office and in power, no honora ble Democrat will employ biui in any way. This should be resolved on and adhered to throughout the State sc. cial ostracism for the white man, and no employment for the colored man." These are potent weapons in the bands of tbe Southern white people. Take away from tbe helpless negro bis chance of employment and be would starve to death. But perhaps it may be said these are but threats made in a moment of passion and will not be carried out by those whole-souled, hospitable men of the South toward the blacks, whom they care for so tenderly. But it has been done, and is invariably being done wherever negroes have disobeyed the iDjunotions of their employers. A gen tleman of Greenville told me that be bas seen a negro's little household bo longings set out into tbe road and bio self and family turned out in tbe cold to shift for themselves for no crime greater than the exercise of the free ballot about which Southern Democrats make so much clamor. And tbe social ostracism which is the portion of the white people is by no means a light in fliction. If its victim bas store, be will find bis customers leaving him ; if a physician, be will lose Lis practice ; if a mechanic, he will fail to get em. ploy men t; and if a school teacher, theu God belp him ! All the details of voting by the tissue ballots have long ago been published. With solid boards ot electiou officers, it will be an easy thing to count out Republicans at tbe coming election. At tbe end of tbe day's voting the polls will be closed for a little while to to enable tbe judges to take dinner, and tbe ballots are tben manipulated, tbe United States officer, of course, being locked out. There is evidence now on file in the room of tbe House Committee on Elections, in tbe contested case of Mackey, which has never been printed, which shows tbe fraudulent methods employed by the Democrats in the worst possible light. In one precinct, for example, it was found that tbe cumber of votes east ex. ceeded the number of tames on the poll. book by several hundreds. Ths tickets bad ail been taken out, as di rected by law, and oonnted. Here is the way they were put back : Tbe Dem ocratic tickets were all placed together in the flat pile, and put into tbe box first. Tben all tbe tissue ballots (also Democratic) were next placed in the box on top of the regular Democratic tickets. Lastly tbe Republican tickets were also placed in the bot, and tbe requisite number drawn oat by a blind folded person. Tbe result was tbat all tbe Republioan and a part of the tissue ballots were taken out, leaving in tbe box only Democratic votes. Here was a case which went on record of a pre. cinot where not a Republican vote was cast. A Cesarean Operation. A Surgical Operation Saves the Life of a Mother and Babe. The Philadelphia Record of the 23rd inst. relates the following wonderful operation : An extraordinary surgical operation was performed yesterday in this city upon a Mrs. Burnell, a dwarf, who bas been making a living for years by trav. eling witb shows throughout the coun try. She is forty-two inches in height and 32 years old. Her husband is also a dwarf, About seven weeks ago Mrs. Burnell knowing that she was about to become a mother, called upon several physicians. Investigation developed tbe fact tbat, owitg to ber peculiar de formity, it would be impossible for ber to give biith to child in the usual manner. . At first it was thought the best plan to bave tbe woman submit to a cranio logical operation, by which tbe bead would be crushed and the child remov ed in pieces, but tbe physicians disoov. ered that on account f tbe formation of the pelvic bones this would also be impossible. Tben tbe Cesarean-operation was determined upon. Early yesterday moruing the physi cians to tbe number of nearly a dozen, arrived at tbe residence, on Seventh street, belo Spruce, where the unfor tunate woman was stopping. She was somewhat nervous, but resolute and de termined. Dr. Rickards was the chief operator, assisted by Drs. E. II. Bull, Smith, Henry, Stuart and others. Mrs. Bar. nell was placed under tbe influence of etber, and the operation began, and was proceeded with according to Porro's method. An incision was made on tbe median line of tbe abdomen, and the abdomiual walls were cut through. The womb was removed, an inoision made in it to correspond with those in tbe abdominal walls, and ths infant releas ed. After that the womb was restor ed to its bed and closed, and tbe other parts brought together. Tbe clothing and all articles in the room were sub. jected to a solution of carbolic acid spray, according to Lyster's method, during tbe operation. Tbe pulse of tbe woman remained excellent throughout the whole of this severe trial, aud all ber symptoms were favorable. Tbe child was alive at a late hour last night, was vigorous, and gave promise of being couuted in tbe uext census. Tbe mother had not re turned to consciousness at 10 o'clock, but ber condition was such that the physicians firmly believe tbat she will recover, unless peritonitis occurs. Under tbe system pursued by the doctors, both mother and child bave a chance 'or life, but bad tbe crauiologi cal operation been performed there is no doubt but tbat both would have died. Such an operation bas not been performed in this city for a number of years, and tbe condition of tbe mother will be watched with interest Tbe child weighs about six pounds. Tbe Record of the 24th pronounced both mother and child as out of danger. STATE ITEMS. The spelling bee mania bas again at tacked Lebanon.
