General Hancock has not yet writ¬
ten to explain away any¬
thing in his record—but by the way,
perhaps he doesn’t need to.
The political straw tieml is to he
bourtced from all well regulated rail¬
road tKains. These straws only tell
which way the voter blows.
Republican gents could simplify
the campaign by admitt ing Garfield’s
guilt and racking yigJjJ ahead, just
as though nothing had happened.

field’s personal integrity the fact
may be lost sight.of that the Repub¬
lican candidate for President was one
of the chief actors in the electoral
infamy of IT70. That crime was far
more flagrant than the taking of
bribes, for it struck directly at the
ABberiies of the people.. Through the
efforts of Garfield and . (he other
“visiting statesmen” commissioned
by the Republican managers, the re¬
turning board of Louisiana was iu
ducetl tp deliver the votes pf. t,]ia,t
State to Hayes. It was a^dfsfipVatp
, 4 nd villainous a piece of political
burglary as was ever comuiii ted, and
Mr. Garfield is as much responsible
for it as is any other individual. To¬
gether with (secretary Glierjuan he
concocted the notorious Eliza Pink¬
ston episode and subsequently figur¬
ed as the chief apologist,of Madison
Wells. Throughout the the “delib¬
erations” of the returning board lie
was a close friend anil confidential
;ill^’ probably of Wells and Anderson, and
knows nearly as much
about the mysterious workings of
that, infamous tribunal as do those
worthies themselves. In short, he
was one of the,most active partici¬
pants iu the dirty work “pul .through”
at Now Orleans with the approval of
the Republican managers. Subse¬
quently, although he opposed it as
unconstitutional, he consented to be¬
come a member of the electoral com¬
mission, ami, as might, have been ex¬
pected from his course in New Or¬
leans, did all in his power to secure
the seating of Mr. llaycs. General
Garfield is, therefore, a conspicuous
representative which be, effectually of the great fraud
can rebuked by
his overwhelming rejection at the
polls.

Why Not Trust Hancock.
Why not trust General Hancock
with the administration of the gen

tive officer tor four years’/
We do uot, recommend him as the
“superb.” That sounds too much
like an ass’s bray in this republic
of. crudity,
W.c do not recommend him be¬
cause he graduated •it
We regard that as rather against
him.
But then we believe he graduated
rather low in his class, which con¬
tained some members calculated to
luake^the institution unpopular, as it
ought, to he.
. {But we suppucWJiim on the
ground that his genuine American¬
ism was too tough to he spoilt by
a military education, and that in
spite of his ill epaulettes and decora¬
tions, lie pre-eminently a civil¬
ian.
Wo are not afraid to trust him for
four years.
Are you?

A Tiiimn i:.—General Hancock, as
an officer of the army, has always
been in public life. In person lie is
comparatively a giant. He cannot
move about, or go anywhere, with¬
out attention. In the avowal of sen¬
timents lie is vomarkably outspoken.
And yet, thus early in thP campaign,
the Republicans seem to have become
completely discouraged in their
efforts to find anything that ho has
dime qr said, in all his life, to find
fault with. So now they fall to,
like a pack of disappointed and hun¬
gry hounds, and are trying to tear
him to pieces for something which
they say and imagine ho might,
could, would, or should have done
under other and different ciremn
stances! They can make out
stronger against hint. IV hat a tribute

T]»e Romance of a Fast Mans
Ofiv message from {Jr. Tanner
piiGii«l«-fi-yesterdity, has in a certain
linked Atlanta on to
1 rritiphe called the Tanner boom,
and more interest is felt in the result
of his experiment than before.
That the fasting doctor has already
existed beyond the period when ab¬
stinence from food has usually pro¬
duced death, is undeniable, Indeed
as far as human theory is concerned
he l' 4 s performed a niiiucle, iij that
he his done that which all human
testimony has.agreed it is impossible
to do. It is tan: that an instance is
cited of where a man did without
food for 21 days, but lie was very ill
and bis system was quiet, and he had
brandy and water. Another case is
cited of a lady who existed without
food or fluid nourishment for 20
days, but she died. Dr. Tanner’s
case, is the only one on record of a
stout, healthy man, who lias sudden¬
ly stopped eating and lived through
a fast over even 8 days.
It will not do to say that the test
under which Dr. Ta’nner is operating
is not fairly, conducted. He hasbeen
closely Matched by at least two.phy
sicians and one non-professional ever
since he started. The water he
drinks lias been examined with a
microscope, and tested chemically to
prove that there is no nourishing
matter in it. Every article of cloth¬
ing that he puts on is examined with
the intousest care. No one is al¬
lowed to shake hands with him, and
even his letters are opened bifqro he
receives them and the paper examin¬
ed. His cot is a simple, affair, hut
it has been ripped open and searched
carefully, and the walls and floor all
about it tapped and examined to
see that there are no traphlobrs or
secret ways through which food can
he conveyed to him. It is impossi¬
ble that he can be practising a fraud,
and t he serious earnest attention that
is being given to his case, and the
columns of discussion over it that fill
the leading papers from the first
scientific minds in the country, de¬
monstrate that the- experiment is
jealously guarded against any possi¬
ble fraud. Altogether, the case is
one that is without precedent or
parallel, and the English sneaking
world is watching with interest the
.•.Mo’s., of thiu .'ontost of tin. human
will against nature and natural laws.

A Guatikyinu Phasic ok Soktii
khn Likic.— Another gratifying phase
of Southern life is the increased
amount of labor performed by the
whites. Wherever work is degraded
—as it always must be where slavery
exists—it will be shunned by the
dominant race, Make toil respecta¬
ble and m> race will be afraid of it.
A very considerable proportion of
the cotton now produced is made by
the labor of white men. And this
element of Southern prosperity and
independence will continue to in¬
crease until work shall cease to lie
regarded in any other light than an
honor and a blessing. Those who
fancied they saw in the abolition of
slavery, the ruin of the Sou’ll, those
who gloated over the humiliation
that was in store for the whites of
that section, must be sadlv disap¬
pointed as they read the agricultural,
and commercial statistics from year
to year to find all their hopes and
predictions disappointed and falsi¬
fied.— DY7 ,hxjfmi

A Litti.kGiri. Attkmkts Si ictok.
—A little girl nine years of age was
reprimanded by her parents for some
misconduct. She was deeply affected
bv- the reproof, and cried as if her
heart would break. I ior parents
■tried to pacify her, but all to no
avail. She finally went away by her¬
self, her parents thinking that after
she had her cry out, she would be all
right. Her deep sobbing was heard
for some time, but after a while
stopped. It was thought she had
cried herself to sleep, and they eon
eluded not to disturb her. Subse¬
quently a member of ti e family had
occasion to visit an outhouse, and
upon entering was surprised anil hor¬
rified at finding the girl suspended
by the neck with a piece of clothes¬
line. Hastily cutting her down, it
was found that she had been stran¬
gled, but was not lifeless. Remov¬
ing the rope and carrying her to the
open air, she soon recovered, and now
sincerely repents the foolish attempt
to take her own life. 1 — Oil Vihj Der¬
