Letter from Judge Black on Hancock.
The New York World publishes the
following letter from; Judge Black :
lo Paris, July 18, 1880.
the Editor of t,he World :
A cable dispatch reached me at
London, whence 1 .answered it more
britfly, perhaps, than you expected,
but I thought intelligibly enough.
Your later dispatch, which came to me
here yesterday,, k now reply to by

that some evil disposed persons had

Louisiana and Texas. My denial by
telegraph was intended to cover the
whole ground. 1 neither wrote those
papers nor suggested a word of them;
1 bad no precognition of his views on
tbe subject to which they relate, and
heard nothing from him about it until
he had taken the public into his con¬
fidence. Indeed my personal acquaint¬ slight,
ance with him was then very
and our relations not at all intimate.
The opinionjthat I would offer or he
would require my aid in producing
suchan order as his No. 40 is absurd.
His determination to stand by the Con¬
stitution and the laws needed no ex¬
pression but what he could give it bet¬
ter than any man alive. It was not
an argument, not an exposition of the
law, not an essay on the rights of man
that was wanted at that critical time.
The Bpoken act of a patriot soldier in
high command alone could save civil
liberty from the destruction with which
it was threatened. That was what
Hancock did, and it was tbe timeliest
lift that the great cause ever got from
Any hand except that of Washington.
I hope my admiraliou of the order
in question and the gratitude I have
felt for him for issuing it can be rea¬
sonably accounted for without suppos¬
ing that I framed or had any share in
framing it. The belief was general
among the friends of Constitutional
liberty, and exp. eased by many others
as st as by me, that Genera
Hancock had done it bravely, to rescue
the nation and save it alive, first from
secessionists, and afterward the more
dangerous and more unprincipled fell after oli¬
garchy into whose hands it
the war. At the date of his service iu
Louisiana, the beau ideal of a strong
goverrment was in full operation at
Washington, conducted by men who
claimed to he absolute masters of the
country. State rights, and, as a neces¬
sary consequence,. individual liberty,
were violently tiodden down, and the
Constitution which should have made
us free was habitually overriden and
insulted. Wffiat those men called the
government was not only wonderous
strong, but corrupt beyond all example
in modern times. Between its force
aud its lraud the people were power¬
less, by and indefinable their despair dread was aggravated whole
an that the
army might at any moment be used to
sink the nation into still further deg¬
radation, if below that lowest depth a
lower depth could be reached. It was
in these circumstances that Hancock
spoke out these
WORDS OF TRUTH AND SOBERNESS
which reassured the friends of free gov
eminent and inspired them enough with
hopes. All who were near

contest between absolutism and law
ean remember how the enemies of
Constitution were itartled and
When they found that the most
jliant clared general himself of the opposed Union had their de¬
to
“savage policy.” They coaid not go
upon him, nor send upon him, nor in
any manner the law destroy him, for not only
was of the land on his side,
but the army was found to be full of
sympathy lent with its conspicuously gal
and faithful leader. So they
were fain to content themselves with
harmless sneers and petty persecu¬
tions, But they removed him from
the place where his devotion to the
Constitution was specially interfering
with their schemes to subvert it.
When they made up their minds to
strangle the liberties of & State, to
disperse a legal legislature by brute
force, to inaugurate for '.Governor a
shameless adventurer known to have
been defeated at the polls, or to pin
the people down with bayonets while
they were plundered by alien theives,
who claimed to be their represents"
tives.and officers, somebody else was
employed to do the infamous work.
Still more carefully did they avoid
his presence when the whole nation
was to be swindled at a Presidential
election. It was for such reasons that
the heart of the country warmed to
General Hancock as its predestined
deliverer.
It has often happened that the best
things of the greatest men are attribut"
ed to others who are wholly incapa¬
ble of them. The opinion was indus"
triously propagated and accepted by a
great as true that Hamilton wrote
the Farewell Address of Washington,
but the evidence is conclusive which
shows that every word of that immor¬
tal production came from Washington
himself;,and Hamilton conld not have
written it any more than he could have
made a world. Some of Jaokson’s most
characteristic papers, bearing the full
impress of his own mind, were habitu¬
ally credited to persons of far inferior
ability. When it was charged against
Jefferson that he wrote Logan’s speech,
he solemnly declared that he was un¬
equal to such a composition. I am not
affecting modesty when I claim ere
dence of my present denial for a simi¬
lar reason. I could not have Written
Hancock’s No. 40 noi
m e upe of ish words, but be¬
cause if I had undertaken to write it
the chances are ninety-nine in a hun¬
dred that my argumentation
WOULD HAVE MARRED ITS MAJESTIC
SIMPLICITY,
and greatly diminished its power.
When a public man, especially a mili¬
tary man, meets a grave responsibili¬
ty, saying no more nor less than just
the thing he ought, but saying that
with unequivocal clearness, you may
be sure he is the interpreter of his own
thoughts. At any rate the attempts
is unjust to bastardize No. 40 by as*
signing to it an origin totally different
from the true one.
Why should my opinion be asked or
volunteered on General Hancock as a
civilian? Anybody else who has
watched his life is as good a judge as
I, and there are thousands who know
him much better. But since the ques¬
tion is asked I say, subject to fair cor¬
rection, that be has in him the highest
and best qualities of a republican ruler.
I think his fidelity to sound principles, will
COU pl„d with hi, sound judgment, with the

the torpedoes was set free, and in a
moment 300 pounds of dymanite
exploded, and the Loa was lifted al
most out of the water. The effect, as
described by those who were watching
the operation with breathless interest
from the shore, was awful in the ex¬
shaken treme. Every house in Callao was
to its foundation and every
ship in the bay shivered as though a
fearful earthquake had spent its fury
beneath them. The ill-fated ship ap¬

and proceeded to the scene of the ter"
rible event. The two first-named

have broken adrift and got out to sea.

An Ingenious Torpedo.
A Chilian War Vessel With a Hundred and
Fffty Men Destroyed.
The Chilian transport Loa, purchas¬
ed at the commencement of the pre¬
sent war, is the steamer which was
blown up by a torpedo in Callao bay
on the 3d inst. The affair caused great
excitement in Lima and much glorifi"
cation ajaong the Peruvians. Tbe plan
adopted was the following, as related
by a carrespondent of the Star a?cd
Merald: A Peruvian officer took an
ordinary fruit boat, put a torpedo in
the bottom and over this placed a
lalse bottom, resting ou springs kept
down by thweight of the cargo. He
then loaded it with a very choice assort
ment of camotes, yucas, chirmoyos,
granadillas, fowls, turkeys, green vege
tabies etc, and towing it out toward
the blockading squadron before day
light set it adrift. _ All day long that
launch floated about, but the Chilians
could not see it until about 5 o’clock
in the evening. Fearing it would fall
into neutral hands, a boat was sent
out to bring it back. The Loa was doing
auty, and seeing the boat fiom
shore making toward the neutral
vessel, caught sight of the
launch, and at once turned to
ward it. Seeing this the boat from
snore beat a hasty retreat. The Loa
lowered two boats to fetch in the prize,
it was brought aloDg-side, and
discharge at once commenced. As
in the launch was
Cherishing His Revenge,
A. German ExConvict, after Tsn Years ’ Runs
Down the Man Who Had Him Imprison
ed and Who Carried Off His Wife
Child.
A strong melodramatic flavor that
belonged rather to the personages of
romance than to those of real life was
tbe marked characteristic of a case
which a few days ago came up for ad"
judication before Justice Morgan in
the Yorkville Police Court. The nris
oner Nicholas Perne, before the tribu
nial at which he was arraigned for
threatening his Wm. Muller’s life, avowed
anew determination to carryout
his purpose, and when committed went
below with the air of a man whose re
solution is proof against punishment or
confinement. The man seemed so bent
on nursing his wrong that the magis
trata made thorough inquiries into the
case and ascertained that the facts were

both prisoner and com"
plainant had grown up together in the
city of Marburg, in Germany. They
had always been friends fill both be¬
came enamored of the same maiden
and Perne’s success in wooing her
caused a permanent estrangement. The
other, who.se right name was William
Yungbud, did not lose heart, as he still

the favor of tbe young wife Perne for
part, watched his rival jealously,

hunting and one day to surprise
his wife together. In
frenzy of the moment he
himself upon the man and
soundly belabored him. Arrested for
the offense, he turned his hatred upon
the counsel who was prosecuting him,
and when chance offered he fell upon
him and left him for dead. Then he
was arraigned for homicide, and Yung"
bud at once appeared against him as
a witness, and by his testimony caused
his conviction. Sentenced to twelve

herself of his confinement ferso ignominy grievous
an offense, pleaded the it
exposed her to as a reason for giving
him over, and soon she and Yungbud
went of together and emigrated to
America. Once on this side of the
water, they were married and, taking
the name of Muller, settled down in
neighborhood of Jamaica, Long Island.
Meantime Perne,in his German prison,
spent eight years of penal servitude,
and at the eud of that period When was he
pardoned for good conduct,
returned to his old dwelling place he
found himself abandoned by every one had
and learned that his little boy
gone off with his fugitive wile and the
man at whose hands he had suffered
so much. That inspired him with the
determination to reveuge himself, and
when he could gather sufficient money
he came to this country. For two
years he has been in the neighborhood
of New York working industriously,
but all the time in quest of Yungbud

about them in Jamaica once, but under
his alias of Muller the Marburgian
concealed his identity and came to New

The Representative Ratio.
[From the St. Louis Republican.J
The changes which the new census
will make in the representation of the
States in Congress are beginning to ex¬
cite conjecture. It is certain that im¬
portant modifications will take place.
New England will lose a share of its
relative strength, and so will other older
States, while the drift of immigration
to the Northwest and the Southwest
will Certainly largely increase the influ¬
ences of these regions in Congress. But
it is tpo early yet to make accurate cal¬
culations on the subject, It will de
pend on the ratio of representation es"
tabhshed by Congress. The present
ratio is 130,425, giving to each State
one Representative in the House for
every 130,425 souls in its population,
and an additional one for a fraction
greater than one-half of that number.
Ihus, taking the population of Mis¬
souri and in 1879, 1,721,000 as a dividend,
the ratio 130,425 as a divisor, we
get a quotient of 13, which is the num¬
ber of Representatives our State has
in Congress at present. But the new
census will show a population in Mis"
souri of 2,2000,000—it may be of 2,-
300.000. If we assume that the exist¬
ing ratio of 130,425 will continue, our
State will be entitled to 17 or 18 Re¬
presentatives—a gain of 4 or 5. The
population of Illinois in 1870 was 2,
which gives it 19 Representa¬
Its estimated population in 1880
3,100,000, which would entitle it to
Representatives—a of
population in 1870 was
which gives it 20 Representstivos. Il
should its population under the new census
turn out to be 3,2001)00 as i
estimated, it will be entitled to 25—a
gain of 5. It is probable that the ratio
will be changed, but the relative posi¬
tions of the three States named will not
be altered, since all will be affected in
the same proportion by an enlargement
of the ratio. The number of Repre¬
sentatives in Congress at present is 293,
and if it shall be decided to keep it at
that number, the ratio will have to be
raised, and this will have the effect of
kfit cutting down the delegations of all
