take transportation for the Bouthern coast to assist
Rhermsu. But neither movement was necessary,
for Sherman was chasing Johnston and Grant was
pulverizing Lee. Therefore Hanoock’s battle work
terminated in October, 1«H.
His military division embraced Washington* and
he arrived there On the morning of April 15, 1855,
after the assassination of President Lincoln. He
was there during the atomy days that iutervened
between the crime and the ©*<* ution of the con-
irators, and it was under his supervision that
ey west hanged. He h i been accused of secur
ing the » \<*cuti<siof Mrs. Surratt by preventing
her daughter Anna from having an interview with
President Johnson and refusing to obey the writ of
habeas corpus issued by Judge Wylie for the pro
duction of Mrs. Burratt in his court, but cool in
quiry has proved that he did not Interfere be
tween the daughter and the President, and that as
regards the habeas corpus he simply obeyed the
suspending order issued by the President.
TH* EgCOHStmUCTIOX PERIOD.
It is liar.lly to be doubted that General Hancock
sympathised with the “policy ’ of reconstruction
set up by Mr. Johnston in opposition to Congress.
It wss with this understanding that Mr. Johnson,
in September, 1H76, substituted him for General
Sheridan as commander of the military district of
Louisiana and Texas. Sheridan's treatment of the
still turbulent ex-robela had been of the drastic
kind. Hancock completely reversed it and laid the
foundation for his subsequent nomination aa the
Democratic candidate for the Presidency. He was
scarcely warm in his seat at New Orleans when he
issued that celebrated order No. 40, in which he
