Wo have witnessed many grand de monstrations in political assemblies, but tbey all palo into otter insignificance when compared to the great gathering of the representative Democracy in Cincin nati last Week. The Convention consist ed of a largo, intelligent a?vd unusually dignified body of men, and was assem bled In tbe great Music Hall building, which ii capable of seating near eight thousand persons. On the first day tho hall was crowded to its full capacity, from the top gallery to tbe corners of the lower floor, and the Order waa excellent. There seemed very little disposition to applaud any one until Senator Hampton appeared, upon which he waa greeted wich a perfect storm of applause, which lasted for about ten minutes, after which others were occasionally; slightly cheered ns they took their, positions in the Con vention. Tho first doy waa uneventful, except for1 tho effort of John Kelly and Au? gufitus Schell to obtain a heating when the State of New York waa called in tho temporary organization of the Convention. Both have strong voices, and fully tested them without securing tho ear of tho President, On tho second day tbe shadows began to forecast tb> end, Tho organization was effected, ruling Kelly and Tammany out of tht Convention, and nominations for Presi dent were entered upon. At tho men tion of tho name of Senator Bayard there was great applause, but it only came fwm one portion of tito vast throng in the Muelo Hall. So of Mr. Thurman and Messrs. Hendricks, Payne and Jow ett ontH Daniel Dougherty, of the Penn* sylvania delegation, uttered tho first sen tence of his speech, which showed be intended placing Gen. Hancock in nom ination. At onco the electric spark flashed through the great assembly, and aa if by ono cjword, the applause, and Bhcuts, and cheers, filled the great build ing, and kindled an enthusiasm which' had not before appeared.*' Again and often the accomplished ..speaker was in terrupted, and bis voice hushed hythe rekindling plaudits which went fcrtb to ? greet : his presentation of the' choice of. the Deawcr&cy of this broad Union for ?ho Presidency. Dougherty had found tho heart of the Convention and of tho American people, and from tho time that tbs ringing npplauso which followed bis speech closed, ii was evident that tko Union General was by all edda tho fa vorito of tue audience for tho Presidency. No other candidato received any thing . like euch applause. The first ballot waa i surprise tts the audience. Hancock Waa ahead, and tho*' applauded, but ho wai? not near so far ahead .as had been expected. Tho Convention adjourned, and a feeling of uneasiness seemed to pervade tho party, lest ?tho protracted ciC'jisea of the Chicago Convention a?io??u bs enacted In tho Democratic party, and a like unfortunate result be reached.. The next morning thc Con vention room, was agata crowded to its last capacity, and tho second ballot began amid breatbtesa silence, induced by tho Intenso anxiety to catch the votes of tho different delegations aa they wehi given tja.

This was not enough to comlnr?te bim, but the Hancock boom bad broken ibo barriers between it and oucoeas, so that t?nfc* Alone, ?nd avery short time, was all fcfeat' wM??C5?3ttjry. to end the balloting, .^a^fursd. ?^i^biy" could, weft* no longar,.

After the cheering bad partially subsided Wisconsin asked to change her vote. Some friends of the defeated candidates objected, but the demand tras so univer sal from within and without tho bar of | the Convention that the right was ac corded. Ohio, South Carolina and every other State changed to Hancock except Indiana, two votes from Maryland and one from lows, so that the ballot stood, Hancock 705, Hendricks 80, Bayard 2, and Tilden 1. The vote was then made unanimous, and the applause again be came deafening. The grand organ struck up, but after a few minutes its notes were lost in the wild demonstra tions of delight from the audience. Hundreds of strong men wept from joy and delight. As soon as the applause bogan to dio away the band played "Hail Columbia, Happy Land," tho American hymn of liberty, and we have never beard a piece of music sound so grand and solemn and sweet. At ito conclusion the applause was re sowed, and the loudest calla were made for Kelly, who mounted the platform and pledged the Tammany vote of New York to Hancock, and gave it as bia judgment that he would carry tho State by at least 50,000 majority. Col. Fel lows, ropreseuting the Tilden party, pledged that party to the ticket, and an other grand scene followed when John Kelly stepped np, and these two leaders of tho two factions of the party in New Yorkebook hands and burled tho botchet. The work Was done. English was nom inated.by acclamation, and the Conven tion adjourned without a jar or a seism to disturb the harmony or weaken the efficiency of the party. It waa a grand body of men, and did its grand work in that noble spirit wbloh is always neces sary to accomplish sublimo results. OUK "WE8TKBN CONNECTIONS. The building of the Cincinnati Southern Railroad from Cincinnati to Chattanoo ga by the Queen City of tho Wost, st an expense of eighteen millions of dollars, has shortened the distance from all points in Booth Carolina by about three hun dred miles, and aavea about thirteen boura in travel. This great achievement has been worked out by the energy, and brain, and money of the city of Cincin nati in tho interest of her commerce, and on Monday, the 21st of June, the engineers of this great road began the survey of a route from Emory Gap, ooventy-eovon miles above Chattanooga, to Knoxville, to which point it is intend ed to build o road, to be s part of the Cincinnati Southern, which is to be com pleted very soon. This route, which is some forty. Pilles further than the pro posed route by Chitwood, has been selected because lt is cheaper in con struction, and because it will give the Cincinnati Southorn the control of tho road from Cincinnati to Knoxville, while the route by Chitwood would be dopen der*- apon terms to be made from time to tlmv> with the Bast,Tennessee and Vir ginia road. Tho completion of this road will leave only the link of one hundred and forty four miles of the Bluo Ridge road from Walhalla to Maryville to bo finished lu order to shorten the die.?nco between Cincinnati and the cities of this State by moro than one hundred and fifty .miles over tue present shortened route. Then tba budding of the Savannah Valley road to Aiken will Rhorten the distance for Charleston more than fifty additional miles, putting Charleston over two hun dred, miles nearer Cincinnati than she ia DOW. The Weat is roaching out her hands for Southern connections, and avery consideration of business and ma terial development prompts that South Parolina shall at once put forth her ener gies to construct tho road to Knoxville, that we may enjoy tho greatest advan tages of all the Southern States in West ern commerce. Now is the timo to act. INI>EPENDENTiSBI IN MABUJORO. The report that an independent ticket aras being organized in Marlboro County, with ex-Judge C. P. Townsend as ita leader, brought tho Neto? and (burier s?t in some very timely and sensible re marks'on the subject, and io turn the following appeared in that papor : BBNNETT8V?LTJ8-e. C., June 24. ?Tb the Editor of the News and Courier : Your correspondent and editorial, In daily bwpo of ?fr?h instant, does injustice to ex-Judge C. P. Townsend. He does not intend to lead sn Independent movement in Marlboro County. Every name on ibo so-called ticket except one boa al lays voted with tho Democrats. O.P. iownseud bas been badly treated, and wrongfully abused ' since 1876 for doing what any lawyer of this town, or perhaps fc%?. J^r^- *^"^as??as?u> AnM wnn ciiAa lr bf, would have done.. If ; tba opportunity bad presented itself, awepted a Judge ship nader Radical rule. It ls natoral ta R'.OSOa man when tho public ls against him, moro especially when the abusers waiit that jgreai help to patriotism, "OSes." lt your paper means weil, 'twill publish the above. W. ?. TOWNSEND. To the above tho Netca and (burier re plied ai follows : Aa tho- Newt and (burier: certainly ''mejanVwell," wo cheerfully publish ibis vindication of ex- Jodgo Townsend. The point of the letter seems to be that be cause the men os the so-called "Inde Kndent" ticket bato hitherto voted the .mocratic ticket, their movement ls not an "Independent" one. Py a similar train of reasoning, it strikes as, these gentlemen might organise s club for tba support of Do Gofycr Garfield sod nt tho samo timo complain of Injustice tr anybody called them RepubUeanr. We cannot sec how there caa be any question, about thia matter at ail. Judge XWosend is st home and knows bow to balk. If he ia not encouraging the Inde pendent idea, and hi unwilling to be one af its candidates, why docs ho notsay.be himself ar4 over bis. own signature. Why ?pt np Mri W. S. Townsend sa bia ?pck?aman, jyhom he may repudiate aereaftst if occa*ioj9 sb&uld aliso? Wo i?vc ci crit?cl?m to maka upon bis hav rig adapted a judgeship from the Re j?b?icajaa, for ero know of nothing ceyn iftcted with it which fastens ?ny Im iropa? cc-txdurt ea "bim to procuring the j'ec??Aa. but wo hst a a d<airo to'ki&ffr ho will in the coming canvass be to in dependo ut candidate for any office. It ia an easy c; oration to answer, and there need be no talk about bad treatment gr lengthy correspondence aa to it. Let Judge Townsend write a short card for publication over bis own signature say ing Yea or No, and then tbe people of the Stato will feel that they know where to put bim. The Chicago Time* is decidedly ruf* fled by Hancock's nomination. It Kays: i "Mr. W. S. Uuucock got so near the ' front on two several occasion? that he was wounded. Thia does not betray dis cretion. M<". Hancock should have kept out of the bullets." No doubt all of the Republicans regret that Hancock got ?o near to the front, for by it be proved his true manhood and nobility. His valor and bis honor J were vindicated, and when the war was over he could afford to make peace with out any danger of cowardice being at tributed to bim. l ike all of the bloody* shirt politicians, tho innocent Garfield kept out of the reach of bullet/.', and ' when tho bloody rebels pushed bim so * closo at Chickamauga os to leave un pleasant impressions of what might have ] boen, he showed the "discretion" to leave j the army. As a natural consequence, he , baa been extremely valiant ever since ! the war in denunciation of tho South to make up for what ho did not do in fight- 1 lng when tho opportunity presented it* j self._-_ j Col. Alex. McClure, the editor of tho \ Philadelphia Times, which has been the , leading independent Republican papor i of the country for years, sr.ys that Han- J cock is as sure to carry Pennsylvania as ; Garfield ia to curry Ohio. Ho also puts 1 New York, New Jersey and Connecticut \ down as certain for tho Democracy. Ho puts Indiana as in all probability Demo cratic, and thinks tho Democrats and Republicans havo each about equal chances for Illinois, California and Ore* | gon. The Hancock nomination will sweep the country like a whirlwind if Col. McClure approximates accuracy in theso calculations. The Chicago Times says: "Hancock is a miserable aristocrat. Ho was gradua* 1 ted at West Point, and never drove a mule on a canal." It is true Hancock never drove a canal boat, but he bas dono moro for the Union. He has driven back lu battle a Corps of Lee's Army of Confederate veterans, a task which the innocent Garfield could never accom plish. Garfield could drivo a molo bet* ter, pad so could any ordinary negro. -:-_-L Gen. Grant bas expressed tho opinion that Hancock will be elected. This shows how the wind blows. The National Democratic Platform. The Democrats of the United States, in Convention assembled, declare : i First. Wo pledge ourselves anew to the constitutional doctrines and traditions of tho Democratic party, as illustrated by the teaching and example of a long line j of Democratic statesmen and patriots, and | embodied in the platform of the last Na- i ?ional Convention of the party. j Second. Opposition to centr?lizationism ! And that dangerous spirit of encroachment ; which tends to consolidate tho powers of all the departments In one and thus to , create, whatever be tho form of govern* ] ment, a real despotism. No sumptuary I laws, the separation of Church and Stato ( for tho geed cf each, common schools fostered and protected. Third. Home rule, honest money, strict j maintenance of the public faith consist? ng , of gold and silver, and paper convertible i into coin on demand, tho strict mainten- ? anco of the pulriic faith, St ito and Na* < tiona!, and tariff for revenue only. I Fourth. Subordination of tho military to the civil power, and a general and J thorough reform of tho civil service. c Fifth. The right to a free ballot ia a 1 right preservative of all rights, and must c and shall bo maintained in every part of J tbe United States. \ Sixth. The existing administration ia [ representative of a conspiracy only, and t ita claim of right to surround the ballot boxrc with troops aud deputy marshals to ? Intimidate and obstruct electors and the unprecedented use of ibo veto to maintain ? its corrupt and despotic power, insults " tbe people and imperils their institutions. ] Seventh. Tho great fraud of 187G and ( 1877, by which, upon a false count of the a electoral votes of two States, the candidate * defeated at tho polls wau declared to be 1 the President, aud for the first timo in ? American history the will of tho'people n Krai set aside under a threat of military a violence, which struck a deadly blow at c our system of representative government, c Ibo Democratic party, to preserve tho 1 country from civil war, submitted for the *: time, iu the firm and patriotic faith that \ tbepeoplo would punish thiscrlmoln.1880. x This isauo precedes and defies every otber. l It Imposes a more sacred duty upon ibo c peonlo of tho Uniou than ever addressed < io the conscience of n nation of freemen. ; Eighth.

Pow mon have Nerved tboir country bet ter tb an Winfield 8. Hancock, and Tew deserve moro from their countrymen. A big man, with a big hoad, a big heart md a big brain, Hancock is th? very personification of honor, honesty and capacity. Gallant und unassuming, a ohlier in throo wars, tb?, boro of a hun dred battle s ho is a man on whom nil Demoorats can consistently unlto for President, nud who, aa a candidato, will undoubtedly command a lurgor degroo of respect and Hupport from Republicans tban any other mun in tho Democratlo party. Clear-beaded mid self-reliant. Ids career ns a judicial statesman nnd military governor, whilo in command of Louisiana and Texas, gives evidence that, if a strong man ia s ?ended for Presi dent, thero is no man in tho nation moro Qt for that position than Winfield H. Han cook. With him ?s their candidate, tho D?mocrate will hi?v2 nothing to explain or defend, and can proudly point to his re cord, and challenge a co inprison of it with that of tho Republican candidate. The people of this country will notsoon forgot there was a day In its history when, if Gon. Hancock bad not shown toe highest ca pacity as o military commander, tho tate of tho Union would have been sealed. It was on that day when tho gallant Gen. Reynolds foll at GottyB urg, and Gon. Loo's forces woro driving bock tho Union army. It was Hancock who, at this critical moment, precipita ted bis corps like a thunderbolt upon tho victorious but wearied Confed?ralo col uros, burled thom back, and, seizing Cemetery Heights and Round Top, wrested order from confusion and re stored confidonc? to tho half-booton Un ion army. A YOUNO PENNSYLVANIAN. Winfield Scott Hancock was born in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, February 14, 1824, and is thoroforo fifty six years of ago. His mother's lather waa a Revolutionary soldier and waa cap tured nt sea and confined in tho Dartmoor Prison, England. His great grandfather on bbl mother's aldo WM a soldier undor Washington and rendorod good Borvloo, dying at tho closo of the Revo lution from oxposure and hardships en dured in tho field. Hancock's father sorvod in tho War of 1812 and afterwards bocamo a lawyer of distinction In Mont gomery County, Pennsylvania, At tho ago of sixteen Hancock waa sont to West Point, and had for classmates 17. S. Grant, Goorgo B. McClellan, J. P. Rey nolds, J. L. Rono.Burnsido, Franklin and W. P. Smith. He graduated in 1844, Juno 80, and In 1845-0 served with'bia regiment in tho Indian Territory as a second lieutenant of tho Sixth Infantry. In 1847 wo Hud bim In Mexico, and conspicuous for gallantry at the Natural D ridge. San Antonio, Contreras, Cheru buBco, Molino dol Roy and the capturo Df tho City of Mexico. He was brovetod [br gallantry at tho battles of Contreras and Cborubusco. In 1840 and 1850 he served with his regiment as quartermas ter and adjutant, and in tho fall of 1E?0 was married at S\ Louis to Miss Almira Russell, the daaghter of a prominent merchant of that city. He took part in levoral Indian campaigns In tho West, ind In 1857 waa engaged ic the Southern Florida war. Ho served In tho expedi tion against Uten, and in 1850 wont to California. ' Upon the secession of tho Southern states, ho took high ground in favor of he Union and did mach in 1801 to meek tho secession spirit thon soizing ipon California. Ho applied to Govor ?or Curtin, of Pennsylvania, for a com* nlssion In tho volunteers, but the Gov ernor being alow in replying to his ap ilicatlon ho obtained a leave of absonco md came Past. His earnestness im- , irossod Gen. Scott, who ordered bim to .?en. McClellan, and on tho formal re commendation of McClellan, Preaidont ; lincoln, on th? "?3d of September, lSf.i, ?mralsaloned Hancock a Brigadier Jonoral of Volunteers. Ho v. KJ assigned o a brigade in the division of Gen. laid y Smith and reported for duty at , main Bridge. Virginia. In tho Army of i bo Potomac. IIIS FIRST TJA TT LU. His first battle in Virginia was at War- i viok Courthouse, near Yorktown, and ? LO led his brigade in person with distin guished gallantry. At Williamsburg , Inncock boro a conspicuous part. Tho Tonfederatcs having repulsed Hooker nd exposod Hancock'? left flank ho do- ! ermined to retire and ordered tho bat- ? orlos back to tho slope, where his. brig- j do line stood. The Confedera to com- ? sander seeing tho mo ve mont, at onoo dvancod his troops, and' they carno own on Hancock's In two superb Unos if battle, cheering tremendously and ? ailing out, "Bull Runt Bull Runl !

Hancock sat on his ? orso behind the1 centro of 'his line, , raiting with imperturbable coolness ? he favorablo moment Calling on the non to stand tost and keep their pieces ; oadod, Hnncock waited until thoConfed- . rates woro within 100 yards, then j lushing forward on his horse. ; with head ? tared end (twinging bia hat, ho shouted: ; 'Forward I forward t forward I" Tho men , aw thc towering form or their General J aading them, and springing np, with a : hotit that modo tho hills ring, they pre- , ipUated themselves upon tholr assail- 1 nts. Tho Confederates faltored, halted r?r a moment, wavered and then fell ?ck slowly, finery inch of ground was tubbornly contested; still Hancock . need them off tho field, nor did they ( gain advance until tho Union reinforce- . lents carno up and rendered the victory .j Boaro. Ti wai almost night, ?nd no ? ursulr. could be ordered in tho j arkness. The action of Hancock had . ondorcd Williamsburg untenable, and , tiai night tha Confederates abandoned \ n Hancock's name waa heralded from , taine to California, and in a fow hours, ? rcn: ss tinknor-.? ouuOiu?ii?U", ho ?au- j aspad fJlto fame and assumed a Nation- , 1 reputation. McClellan telegraphed i iie President, "Hancock yrta superb to- . ay," an expression which ail who saw ( Ira towering above his men, leading ? tiom to bettie, knew to be only just. ms SERVIL-E IN TUB PENINSUXA. 1 i On tho 27th or Tune, 1802, Hancock, I ruo waa then at Golding's Parmi In the , 'enlnsuln. received a severo attack HMM ] lie Confederates. He repulsed it mid ontinood tho fighting far into the night, \a contending forces firing ri sch other at close quarters In tho dork, his battlo of Hancock's was ono of QB grandest irpectaelea Wsf tho War, i nd will never bo forgotfen by tho , ?Tiny of the Potomac. Ou the 28th of I ?no, 1862, xi uncock waa heavily- engag- ' at viramett's Hill, as ho was st Savage tatton on tho 29lh and at White Oak ' wamp on the SOth. His troops fought mr battles in as roany days, and In very one of thom were led by Han ?ck In person. He never know fear Siholf and conjd not tolaruce lt In ero.

In September, 1802, Uaucoek com manded lils brigodo in tho btttloof Kouth Mountain and afterwards at Antietam. lu tills latter engagement, when Gen. Richardson fell, Hancock wai sont to take command of (bat gal lout otUcer'? divinion. In November, 1862, Hancock received bis commission as major-goner al, and on the lath of December was en gaged In the desperate and blondy as sault on i/ayro'H Height*. His behavior on this occasion was in keeping witb the high reputation he had achieved. He wo?, with bis division, in the thickest of tho conflict, leading his men as far it waa posskbio, under tho ci rou instances, for men to go, and only falling back when attempt at further advance waa foolhardy and useless.. In this light, aa, in tact, in utmost every ono in which he was en gaged, he seemed to wear a charm on bis lifo. Ho received in tho "slaughter pen." as tho rank and tile were wont to ca.I thc position they occupied in thia U, ht, f alight Heidi wound, coming out ^ther wiso unharmed, though with uniform perforated with bullets. In this hatti? Hancock lost one half of h'n command killed and wounded, and ali bia aidei wore wounded. At Chancellorsville, in May, 1803, hi commanded bis division and covered th? roads leading towards Frodericksburg where, ?unid surrounding disaster al though constantly attacked, bis troop maintained their position to tho last, am formed the rear guard of the army ii moving oli' the flold.

Tho brigado cou mander returned to his lino with a st stop and sorrowful oppression of com tenanoe. AT OETTYSnURO, It was at Gettysburg Hancock aga loomed up bofore the country as a bc: Ho was commanding tho rear guam tho army in. its advunco on Gettyabur and had reached Tarrytown, tho pla whore bis grandfather, ono hundri years before, had started to escort oi thousand Hessian prisoners of Bu goyne's army to Valley Ford, when Go Meado sont bim an o ru or to boston to t: front and assume command of t troops there.

On bis way from Tarrytown to tho b tlefleld Gen. Hancock met tho amt lance containing tho dead body of G< Roynolds.

THE INCARNATION Ol' WAK. Hancock was grand and magnificen the battle of Gettysburg, and seomed very incarnation of war. On tho see* day he was at Cemetery Heights dur the frightful canonade when Gen.

Hancock din not recovar from lila wound until December, 1863, when, al though ?till quito lame, he reported for duly, and was.,aont North to recruit his corps. He iras tendered a reception at i Independence Hall by the citizens of PLdir.,*-lpbia, and received the hospital! ties of the cities of Boston, Albany and Now York. In March, 1864, be rejoined bis corps and participated In tho Battles of tho WildorncsK with < J runt. He com manded tho Second and part? of tho Fifth and Sixth Corps, amounting in all to 60, OOO men. Ho fought at Alesop's House and at Spottsylvania Court House. He j was at North Anna, and did most of tho lighting there. Ho commanded at tho bloody assaults on Cold Harbor, and did his best to execute Grant's orders. Tho fighting was desperate, and Hancock's loss could not have fallen far short of 12.000. He was on tho south side of the James Uiver, and tnade the assaults on Petersburg. Ho was with Sheridan, and attacked, tho Confederate* at Deep Bot tom, taking four pieces of artillery, 600 prisoners and throe stand of colors. Iii was at Petersburg and witnessed tho ox J>loslon of the mino on the morniug of inly 80. Tho advance up thc James River, August 12, 1864, was* undor bis command, and ho handled tho Second and Tenth Corps of the Army of tho James and Gregg's Division or cavalry with such consummate ukin as to elicit expressions of admiration irom even Gen. Gran.. He fought thc battle of Ream's Station. August 25, and bud bis horse shot '.inder bim. Ho fought tho battle of Boydton Road, capturing 1,000 prisoners aud two stand of colors. With the batt?o of Boydton Gen. Han cock's active fighting in tho war ceased. President Lincoln, who. bad learned to filar.o u high estimate on Hancock's abll ties, ordered him to Washington and directed him at once to orsar.'ro sn army of 60,000 veterans from discharged" vol unteers who bad served an enlistment. Tho use of this army was alono prevent- j ed by tba surrender of Loo and tho end ing of tho war. At tho close of the war I Hancock commanded the Army of the Shenandoah, relieving Gen. Sheridan. I This army consisted ot 85,000 men of all arms, and was destined to move South with Hancock's 50,000 veterans and Join Oen. Sherman, but Joe Johnston threw op tho spongo and rendered tho move ment unnecessary. BINGE THE WAR. Gen. Hancock's career sinco tho war ls so well known it noeds but little mention here. For bis services during the war ho was appointed a brigadier, and pfter war.ci a major general, in tbe regular army, and assigned to command of tho middlo department. In 1866 be took command of tho Dopartmont of Mis souri, and conducted two campaigns against bristile Indians, taking tho field ri person, at the hoad of 1,500 men of all arma. In 1867 ho was sont by tho President to New Orleans to command tho States of Texas and Lou Lr. i an a. It was in this Hold of labor that be distinguished himself by setting tho oxamplo of an ofllcor of tho army, with extraordinary power?; stren uously insisting upon the entire subor dination ?f military to civil authority in timo of peace. Among the military com manders during the reconstruction po riod he waa conspicuous in this regard, and tho positions thon laid down in his general orders and correspondence did more, porhaps. than anything elso to make him tho ideal soldier in the minds of Constitutional Democrats. In 1868 ho was * i lio ved at bis own request, and in 18(39, '10, '71 and '72 commanded tho Do partmont of Dakota. Since thou ho bas commanded tho Military Division of the Atlantic, composed of tho Department of tho Lakes, tbe Department ol' the East and Department of Washington, with headquarters at Governor's Island, Now York City. HIB PEBSOKAIi APPEARANCE. Hancock, in personal appearanco, is tall, wo ll formed and very handsome His height cannot bo lor.? than ? six foot two inches, and ho weighs fully two hun dred and forty pounds. Ho will mako 1 tho finest looking President who over sat in the White House, except, possibly, Georgo Washington, His form towers abor?? other men. and ho attracts atten tion by his more looks wherever ho goos. His eyos are blue, and havo a benignant and mild expression when in repose, but inspiring when id danger. His manner is dignified and knightly, and ho is cour tesy itself. He is always magnotio, and draws men to bim by his kindness and gent?o interest in their affairs. His sym pathies aro easily aroused, and bo bo comes intensely concerned for the sor rows and misfortunes of others, striding in every way to relieve them, as though tb?lr troubles were his own. Hancock's kirincss to his subordinates always won not only their \OVJ, but also their confi dence, trod c. used them to rely on bim os a friend nc well as a commander. Ho gave a man a good opinion of himself, and made each one feel he was of more importance than he ever before suspect ed. It waa this which caused him to havo such powor over bis officers and men in battle, and made them prefer rather to dio than forfeit tho good opin ion of their leader. Con. hancock had two children, Rus leit Ha.. ;ock and Ada Elizabeth Han cock. Tho latter died in Now Yoik, of typhoid favor, whon 18 years of age. She waa a young lady of great promise. Russell Hancock, the General's only son, is living and is a planter In Mississippi. A volume v Cal*a not contain an ac count of all toe heroic deeds of a man Uko Hancock. A glorious soldier, a steadfast frlond, a useful citizen, be is all that is noble, manly and brave in poor fallon humanity.

Mr. English ia somewhat loss known to Southern readers than his namesake of Connecticut, hut be ls a Domoorat of un stained reputation, and his war record is unassailable. Ho makes a capital second to Hancock, and adds material strength to tho ticket^ In tho Weat, and .especially In b's o? iTi otate, in which be has never been beaten for any ofllco for which ho bas appeared before tho people.

What I ; eminent Hen or Both Parties Think of Hancock and his Nomina? Hon. Theodore P. Randolph to Gen. Han cock, from Cincinnati : My hearty con. granulations. New Jersey solid, and will stand by yon as tho!*; airca by R?volu tlonory patriots. T. P. Bayard tc Gen. Hancock, from Wilmington. Del.' Your nomination Is honorable alike to you and tho Demo cratic party. No ono congratulates you more Vlncoroly, nud no oho will atj^ye more heartily to elect you than I. Jehn Kelly and Augustus Schell to Gen, Hancock, from cincinnati: We congratulate you "on your nomination, Now York is snro for your election. John W. Korney to Daniel Dougherty, member of Convention, from Philadel phia : I congratulate you. dear old friend, on yonr groat speech In favor of tho liv ing hero of Gettyaburg, tho Murat of Pennsylvania, and if nominated at Cin- i ein natl for President would deJlver tills *i great common wealth from the terrible curse that bas polluted lu fair fame, de stroyed the hopee of ita young men, and enriched its inpotent politicians. It will be a v.'olcomo to hundreds of thousands of Democrats who regard Grant'e saeri- I iicrr at Chicago tho unspeakable ingrati tude of the age, and it will consolidate > North and South in the holy bonds of fraternal peace and prosperity. I em braeo you. Wm. A. Wallace to Gen.

How is thal for key-note of campaign f It will bo a solomn music for llepubllcans lo foco. D. W. Voorhoes to Gen. Hancock, from Ciuclnnatt : With all my heart I congrat ulate you. I bad expected this result for tho last twelve years. You will bo elected. Samuel D. Babcock, President of New . York Chamber of Commerce, to Gen. Hancock, from Maniton, Cul.: From tho shadow of the Kooky Mountains accept my warmest congratulations with this message ; "Friend l go up higher." (jami. J. Tilden to. Gen. Hancock: I cordially congn tulat? you on your nom ination. B.'Gratz Brown to Gen. Hancock, from St. Louis : Accept rey heartiest congrat . ulatlons on your nomination. Gen. Joseph E. Johnston, member of Congress from Virginia, sent greeting as . follows : The nomination makes mo much gladder than you. A. G. Thurman to Goo. Hancock, from Columbus, Ohio : Accopt my sincero con gratulalioia on your nomination. That you will be elected I have no doubt. Gen. Shorniau was askod by a reporter what ho thought, of Gen. Hancock's nom ination. The General rep'lcd that ho did not have anything to do with politics, "hut if yon will sit down," bo addod. "and write tho best thing that eau be put In language about Gen. Hancock os an olllcor and gentleman 1 will slfc," it with out hesitation." What the Leading Newspapers of tho Country Have to Say. Tho St. Louis Republican, after paying Gen. Hancock a vory high compliment as a man and a soldier, says : Tho ticket is built to run and to win. It unites all elements of popularity, all clements! of success. The St. Louis Time* soys : If tho Con vention bad deliberated a weok^it could not li av o made a stronger ticket, au abler ono or ono moro acceptable to tho party and tho mass of tho people The New York Herald says that lt I* an undoubted and very great benefit to the country that tho nomination of Hancock makes impossible a bloody-sbirt r-un patgn. That botweon Garfield and Han cook voters may choose frooly and solely according to their views of what is tho best policy, and with no foar of th'. Un ion or thal any maj's rights In tho coun try will bo endangered by tho election of either. Tho Now York Times saya "that it is a po cullariy constituted party which sondn rebel Brigadiers to Congress bceauuo of their r?bellion, and which nominates a Union General as its candidate for President of tho United States because of bis loyalty." It considers vho fiokot vory commonplace. Tue Now York World warmly eulo gizes Hancock for bis military career and Btatesman-like conduct during the war, and welcomes the nomination as a means of reuniting as firmly as if never separated tho States of this Union. Tho New York Journal of Commerce highly oulogizos Hancock,and says: "A ollshed and cultured gentleman. A rave and successful soldier. An up right and honest man. Ho is without stain and above reproach. Flt to sit in tho chair of Washington, and to repre nant tho American peoplo to the Mon archs and statesmen of tho world." Tho New York Tribune soys : "In the hour of excitement and passion another Democratic Convontion has missed all chances of victory. Eager to bury Til donism and escape tho nomination of Tilden, which Bocmed at Cinciunotl, as boro, io bo as it would have been fatal, tho convention went with a rush to tho first candidate who appeared to have tho lead. Men who calculated coolly what the Convontion must do in order to suc ceed, and expected that the Convention also would calcul?t? coolly, wera sur prised by its action. Hancock-, it de clares, will not prove as strong a candi date os McClellan was." (Jen. Hancock and Mrs. Surratt- Some ?tale Slanders Refuted. A correspondent of tho Now York Uer ald visited Bishop Keane, of tho Catholic Church, at Richmond, Va., Thnrsdaj', and asked bim if tho charges as to Gen. Hancock's connection with tho Surratt case would affect him with the Catholics. He answered that most undoubtedly they Mould, and with Protestants as well as Cathodes and all others, if the truth were not told, Since tbesa charges, howovor.. had boen denied and had been disproved as preposterous and false, ho could not seo bow Gen. Hancock could be a dec ted by them. The Bishop tben referred to tho fact that Rev. J. A. Walter, pastor of St Patrick'? Church, Washington, tho spiritual advisor and confessor of Mrs. Surratt, bad sovoral months ago publish ed a card stating in emphatic language that thorp was no truth whatever in tho chargea. Bishop Keane waa Ute assist, ant cf Kev. Mr. Walter far twelve vea ri, up to the time ho became Bishop of Rich mond, Tho card referred to by Bishop Keane waa written November 13 of last year, and ia aa folioWH: "Truth and justice compel mo to deny * the statement with reference to Gen. Hancock's participation in tho execution of Mrs. Suiratt, which appeared In tho Washington 1'ott of this morning. I at tended Mrs. Surratt on the occasion, and met with no interference on the part of 'Jen. Hancock. Gen. Hancock had great sympathy for this unfortunate lady, and waited until tho last moment, hoping for a reprieve. I consider it an actor Justice to Gen. Hancock that this statement should bo made. "J. A. WALTER "Pastor of St. Patrick's Church, Wash ington." A Washington dispatch to tho New York Herald, describing tito reception of the news of Gen. Hancock's nomination, says: "The question ?f Gen. Hancock's posi tion in the execution of Mrs. Surratt waa freely discussed, and the Genoral was lu a great mcasuro exonerated from doing any thing more than hia duty as a sol dier. "Mr. John T. Clampett, the only aur - jvlng attorney for Mrs. Surratt, said to your correspondent that Hancock was tho best soloctlon the Convention could have mode. 'It is a splendid nomina tion,' said Mr. Clampett, with emphasis, 'and bis part in tho Surratt execution will not airect bim, as the General only oboyed ibo orders of his superiors, and that is rooognLted by all well-informed Democrats. Gon. Hancock was not in tho court room during tho entire time, and on tho morning of Cs execution camo.into tho penitentiary, and was mot by inc. Hancock said : 'I am carrying out tho .'....th sentence, and it is tho most painful act of my Ufo. I would rather take chances on the battle-fiold, but I am a soldier and must obey orders.' Rev, Father Walter, who was Mrs. Surratt's spiritual adviser, said : "I do not desire to bocomo mixed up with politics. Gen. Hancock bas a letter which explains my opinion of tho part ho took In tho exe cution." Tho Now York World says that whon Gen. Hancock's attention was called Thursday to s papor containing charges against bim in connection with Mrs. Sur ratt's execution, bo pronounced them "downright falsehoods, without one scintilla of foundation." H? added that bo was not on the dofonaive, having nothing to dofend himself from, but named Gon. F. A. Darr, of New York, OTi-Congreasman Tarhox, of Massachu setts, and others, who know all tho facts, and would quash such falsehoods. ESTATE NOTICE.
