Gea. Hancock and - tie Execution ?fi Mnu garratt. . Mr. Jolla T. Glenipltt, cou usc J for Mrs. Burrett, hat written a letter, which hat been printed in a campaign biography of Geo.-Hancock, just Issued from tho pres*, ip Which he exposes tho tilter absurdity ofthe Bemibllean slander that Gen. Han cook Was in some way reaponsjblo for the ?xe?uiibn of that cruelly ill-used woman. He eli a we, in-the first dace: that Gea-. Haeoocki?S cowruandarit at Washington, ^esWnVply'ibe m?dium of ibo order1 U* sued by President Johnson for Iboexecn .tioii of the findings of tbeMUItary Court which eohdemnetfMr*. Barratt and others to death. Ho had nothing < whatever W do with tho military cot?m?nsi?n that tried tlio prisoners, nor was- ho Specially qbarged-with thc-execution-of the *en tpneo. Tbeorder was simply transmit ted thro?gh! him as comm mander of a military post lo Gen. Hertraaft, nuo cos designated as the special ptofost mar $ul to carry into effect tho verdict of o couft. Gent Hancock's" duty in the' premises wee purely ministerial and was discharged in the ordinary way. Mr. Clampitt-.1: testifies ?that Gen. Han cock was deeply moved in Mrs. Surrntt'c behalf n?d diatrcujed on her account Tho chargo that ho denied her tho con Eol?tlon.of a priest la pronounced to be malicious and utterly false, and Mr, Clnmpltt declares that on tho morning of theexecution both bathers Welter and Wigetweroin Mrs. Surratt'a <**lh As to the charge that Gen. Hancock refused to obey the writ of h?beas corpus, Mr. Clampitt states what is already weil known, vis., that execution of the writ was suspended by the order of President Johnson 'himself; Ho also avers thai Gen. Hancock' did all in his power to obtain pardon for Mrs. Burrett, and had couriers stationed at points from the White House to the Arsenal in order that if a pardon or respite should bo issued it might reach) its destination as soon as possible. . Io other words, not the slight est share of tho responsibility for the j murder of Mrs. Burrett can be fastened upon Gen. Hancock. That responsibili ty- rests . with the Republicau party, which demanded of the authoritiea. the life of ? woman ns an offering to the fury of ir.n excited, people, and, ea Mr. Clam pitt exclaims with just indignation, "the attempt of these politicians fairly end unjustly.to traduce Gen. Hancock for e '.responsibility he never bad shows the 'utmost depravity; mt> burilan ? nature. While their cwn banda are reeking .vith ibo blood of an innocent woman, which they had demanded with fiendish malig nity, jb?y.8??k iqdefuthe,' for base pur poses, ono; of tho. bravest herpes of tho war, by the attempts to. falsely implicate bira in tho infamy vf. their own crime." < Mr. Jna.

He says.:. '' "Of all those in authority to. whom I appealed < in behalf of an unfortunate woman who wes an alien among her own people, tom from het homo, stricken in ber affections andlriigbted- In fame and hope, from two men ofcly didi experience kindness end consideration.

"On Thursday, July.6,. 1865, the peo ple v/ere startled by ?be official an nouncement, over tho Presidents signa arc, that four of tho ? -'so?era, including nw Mary R Burrett, rfaro to be hanged oh tho following day, between the boars of 10 Sud 2 o'clock.

Wo remained with Mrs: Burrett jtfbr several hours, affording her ouch con solation as we coold. That night Father "Walter1 and -myself celled upon Judgo Holt, hat our efforts; proved fruitless. On the morning.of the*fatal day I went bhforo a notary and made an affidavit of'such facia as I hoped would induce tho President to granta stay of proceed ings in her case. This affidavit I bad forwarded to the President. ? I then rode in haste to the penitentiary, where 1 found Mre, Barratt suffering iateusoly from cramps and congestive chills. At my request Gen: Hertranft went to tho n'iisoner Payne and held a conversation .with him. Bo impressed WAS Gen. Hart ranft with Payne's solemn declaration of his i own= guilt end protestations of Mrsu Surratt'a innocence tbtlt ho imme diately wrote a lette? to President Johu?on, couched substantially, in these words: '?The ri r humer Paynn hn? ?m? j t?ldjDi? that _M?*.
