There are about live billions trill

There is an armless man in London

He is probably how-legged.
There is honesty in every line* of

From the speed of light, which has

Garfield lost an “i” in the war.
He was called .Vim when he went in¬

There was nobody in search of vin¬

Gen. Hancock told a New York
Herald reporter that lie wrote his
letter to Sherman “frankly and with
no restrait,’’ never expecting it to be
published. He was in a Western
town on private business’ without
Secretary or staff. He laid, further:
never wrote anything that- I am

not slick to.

earth running for office on the Inde
y,endettt ticket. Ask him for “his
principles, and he tip-toes and takes
his text, “I am a free man and op¬
posed to cliques and rings!” This is
tiie Genesis and Revelation of his
creed, with the balance of the Koran
torn out. We began polities early
in life, and we have never seen or
participated in a clique or ring, We
believe these things are mostly con¬
fined to cellars, dark holes and gath¬
erings of ring st reaked and striped in
bar-rooms qn Sunday myrpings to
drink and give awryy Independent
whisky. We have always acted with
open, fair manly conventions of the
people, amt have ncy.er seen anything
radically, rascally wrong, although
not always getting our choice, we do
not know but the convention, gener¬
ally speaking, have made a far better
choice than we could possibly have
done, after consulting all the antj
ring masters. In fact, we had rather
trust to the judgment of an honest
convention, composed of the intelli¬
gent citizens of the county, than our
ow n judgment in a single instance.
The Independent puts his opinion
against the combined wisdom of the
county and of the State. He is so
full of self-conceit that he imagines
he kmovs more than anybody else.
Talk! Why, lie can out talk a steam
engine. The wisdom of Solomon is
foolishness compared to what lie
knows—but if you can find that out,
you pan te;at us. The science of gov¬
ernment is as familiar to him as his
own hat,and star! in search of a trick,
hi* can see clear through a mill-stone.
Twit hiui on principles, and then
buggies off on freedom, ring and
olique. Fall him hack and he prides
himself on his Democracy.
The wlujle truth is, the leaders of
the Independents and all the ele¬
ments of opposition are out of office,
and they think that is the surest
road to it. Tliatfs what the matter

An exoneration of General Han
cock in the Surratt matter has come
from an unexpected • source. Mr.
John P. Burpley, President of the
St. Louis College, New York, lias
written a letter to die New York
Herald, in which he details all the
circumstance connected with the
efforts to save Mrs. Surratt. Mr.
Burpley was an intimate friend of
the Surratts, and was one of the most
active of those who sought to secure
for her the clemency of President
Johnson. He says that both Gen.
Hancock and General Ilartranft did
everything in their power to save
Mrs. Surratt, and that they were as
kind and considerate as they could
possibly he. General Ilartranft, lie
says, received the conspirator Payne’s
confession of Mrs. Surratt’s inno¬
cence only a few hours before the
execution, and sent it to the Presi¬
dent, with his o\vn declaration that
he regarded Mrs. Surratt as an inno¬
cent woman. Gen. Hancock thought
it possible that the President might
relent at the Iasi moment, and in
order to receive the intelligence as
quickly as possible, stationed mount¬
ed men all along the line to the
White House with instructions to
lose no time in conveying the pardon
to him if granted. Mr. Burpley
says that no man could have done
more for Mrs. Surratt than General
Hancock did.
