The Orrjtmtmi says Gen. Pearson,
of Pennsylvania, whq has receutly
come out for Hancock, i "one of
thnso gushing anil visionary iiidirid
ual, sons of tht feeble, who moan
well enough, but always fail in an
emergency." We confess that we do
not know much rAout tho General,
hut we would like to ask "the Oregon-
.' that if its charge is true how does
it come that he was placed on the
National Committee of the Republi
can political organization known as
the "Union Yeteran's Union" (The
Hoys in Blue) to represent the great
State of Pennsylvania? .The Oregon
ian should remember that the Na
tional Committeo of this organization
is made up of very prominent men,
Gen. Grant is Chairman; Gen. Spin
uer is Treasurer. Gen. Fremont rep
resents Arizona; Colorado is repre
sented by Gen. John A. Logan; Con
nectieut by Genvllawley; Massachu
setts by Gen. Butler, Ohio by Gen.
Garfield; Indiana by Gen. Ben Spoon-
er; Rhode Island by Gen. Burnside,
and the great State of Pennsylvania
by Gen. A. L. Pearson. We. have
a full set of their secret organization
papers, obleets of the order, etc., and
from reading them we are led to be-
lievo that the character the Ocegonian
describes wa? never chosen to repre
sent Pennsylvania in their conclave.
THE STATS CAkES.
'At last the somewhat famous cases
of the State agiinst Gov. Grover, S
F. Chad wick and A. IL Brown have
been decided, and one of the best and
lias been spiked, for Judge Deady,
to whom the testimony was referred,
reports virtually that no charges of
corruption can be sustained against
them. He finds that they, a? the
Board of School Land Commissioners,
are delinquent In the sum of $3,C70.-

- caused by careless book-keeping, for
in several instances the clerk had ac
counted f r considerable more money
than had been actually received.
This has been talked of for several
years and a great deal of the people's
money spent in looking' in to if, and
now it has been referred to Judge
Deady, this is the result. What must
the people think of that investigating'
.committee now?

As fast, us the Oregonia.i hears ol
prominent Republicans coming out for
Hancock it gives a short and slander
ous sketch of them ami. says ''they
ne'er amounted to much anyway." It
is amusing and at the sanm lime dis
gusting to see a paper which makes
such pretentions 'to greatness take
such a course.
CITES IT IP.
That great paper the Orejonian
has abont given , up, the fight. For
awhile it tried to defend Garfield,but
it has quit that and contents itself
with "throwing mud" at every Re
publican who comes out for Hancock
and writing articles on "Memorials
of Antiquity" and "The "Value of the
Rape Plant." It is well.'
Cameeox, Conkling and Logan say
they will notstump for Garfield unless
fTayes formal'y withdraws his "Civil
Service Order No. 1." Hayes lies
never yet enforced that order, but the
three Secat rs want to humiliate the

My Dlaii Gexeuat.: I take the
earliest opportunity congratulate you
upon your nomination and to assuro
yon, life-long Whig and Republican
that I am, of my most hearty sup
port. I belons to a very numerous
aud very staunch silver gray Repub
lican family. ith one solitary ex
ception, thero never was one of them
known tovoto the Democratic ticket,
but I venture to say they will to a
man vote for you. They cannot on
sistently do otherwise. "
You, sir, embody tho views and
sentiments in regard to tho great
questions of tho day that wo have
entertained since tho war closed.
They are the same thatactuaed Gen
eral Grant when he laid down those
liberal terms of surrender to General
Lee. They aro the samo that actual
ed mj poor friend Raymond, when
he battled so manufully In ti.e com
ml tee of empress against the savage
of Thad Stevens. " I believe General
Grant would suport you to-day, did
not the exigencies of his situation
forbid it. And Henry J. Raymond,
where ho alive, would support you
too, unless the exigencies of the New
York Times restrained him. He was
compelled at an early day to smother
the sentiments ho had .expressed in
the address of the Philadelphia Con
vention, to abandon his career in leg
islative halls and to change tho tone
or the Tim or, as Mr. Jones, our
business manager and partner, insist
ed, tho paper would be ruined. (I
believe 1 offered to pay tho damages
at the time, but that was considered
impractiable.J It was a bitter pill,
but it had to be swallowed. That
Stevens had succeeded through n Con
gress which misrepresented the coun
try In engrafting his policy upon the
Republican party. And though a
majority of the parly, as I firmly be
lieve, were disgusted, It was fastened
upon them aud there was no way of
getting rid of It. Thus lor years a
vast number of us, good Republicans,
have been compelled .to be helpless
supporters of a policy we believed to
be the very worst that could be de
vised. An opportunity Is presented
us now for the first time with any
show of success to voto in accordance
with our convictions, and I am sure
we shall doit most Joyfully. With
great respect and esteem, believe me
yours faithfully,

it is questionable whether ho was ev

the can of a Delegation of six gentle
men and the announcement of the
character of the visitors and the ob

comprised Slessjrs. Seymour Yan Nos-
trand, Stephen Austin, Henry C.
Ferguson, James Kfnyon, II. Boyd,
and Capt. J. R. Byrnes, all residents
of Washington Heights. The gen
tlemen were introduced to General
Hancock, who received, them' with
his accustomed cordiality
"I am glad to meet you gentle
men," said the General
"We have come to see you," said
Mr. Van Nostrand, acting at first as
the spokesman of the party and In a
commendable business-like way com
ing to the point at once, "to congrat
ulate you on your nomination for the
Presidency of the United States."
"I thank you gentlemen,"' Inter
rupted the General, thinking, no
doubt, that this wps the solo purpose
of the call, and having no idea of the
surprise in store for him.
"With ont exception," continued
Mr. Van Nostrand, ' we have always.
voted the Republican ticket, but we
have come to let you know that at
the next election we will voto for
you."
"Well, really," said tho General,
rather hesitatingly and seeming to
know hardly what to say,"Iam much
obliged to you."
"We belong to the Independent
Republicans," resumed Mr. Nos
trand, hurrying to relieve the Gener
al's embarrasment, "and shall assert
our, independence at tho polls and
tho future will show a strong army of
these independent voters."
"Independent voting is a great
Iower," remarked the General, "that
does not often assert Itself. Gentle
men,. I feel much obliged to you.
I know that some of my otHcial acts
have" won the sympathies of many
members of the Republican party and
I have many warm personal friends
in its ranks, and I am proud of their
good opinion."

gentleman of the Delegation, "there
arc thirteen Republicans and nine
of them have avowed their determin

JOII.V W. FORNEY.
John W. Forney, of Pennsylvania,
who has been acting with the Repub
lican parly for many years, has come
but in favor of Hancock. There is no
use in Republicans trying to belittle
Forney's influence. He is a powei in
Pennsylvania, and will jnake himself
felt in the coming election. It will be
all that the Cameron clan can do to
keep Pennsylvania iu the Republican
ranks, and if they lose it we thall not
bo surprised. -Imlepcndent.

The following from the Richmond
Cvmnuinwallh show the feeling in old
Virginia :
It require no effort on the part of
Southern men to forget tlio ol4 diner
cneea that once existed between Gen.
Hancock and theiunclvea, but they are
ready to unite with him and all lovers
of good government in a .common pur
oae to drive from ower the Radical
twrty, which live oti sectional and tier
aonal animosities, which prevent any
liberal and enlightened policy of recon
ciliation. and which atamis in the way
of all effort at good governmental re

will lie able to show from the record of
the Nt twenty year that Hancock

him a good a constitutional lawyer as
there is in the land. He will lie elect
ed. I am unqualified in my support of
the ticket, and I propose, if my health
will ermit, to visit Ohio anil Indiana
for the October campaign, and Pennsyl

am very glad that my friend so ar
dently support Hancock. Like all can
didate for the highest honor iu the
world, I would like to have won ; like
a 1 remix-rat I mad the endeavor, and
like a Democrat I shall heartily and
earnestly enter the canvass, and do all
in my humble power for the ticket. I
do not see how a Pennsylvanian can
vote or apeak against Hancock. How
men will be able to stultify their own
word and acts is the puzzle to me.

A good character 1 the best defonse

some characters o grand and pure that
tho foul breath of gossip or vituperous
totigiio of slander cannot injure or dis
trust. They stand like a light-house on
some rocky ledge, with tho angry wave
beating around it iase, it clear strong
light shcthling fi iendly ray over the
troubled water, the sign of hope and
safety to the tern pest- tossed mariner.

chief adviser in tho Republican coun

can leaders nro very sore at his
change. , To a reporter this morning
tho General said: "I nm not ihe on

VtUrau National Committer : .
Gesi:p.I.: After seven years' con
nection .with tho Union Veteran Na
tional Comn.ittee, cyer which you
have the honor to preside, I am com
pelled to tender my resignation as
the meniU-r from I'ennsylvani.i. I
have reluctantly come to ih com-lu-sion
that tho iofluenco of the grcit
historic party is ended and ought ti
end; that those who pretend to keep
up its organ izotiou are doing tor
ofiice anl g-.iiu, anil that it - encour
agement of sectional hate Is a con
stant menace to the Union. No per
manent i-e-ue worthy of lieiag -called
national issues divi?e the two parties.
Free trade and protection an alike
the accident of localities, and hence
we find free-trade Republicans ia the
West and l't with protective Dem
ocrats in the Middle States. The
entire iue that divides the two par
ties is the iue of hale and usurpa
tion on th-j side of the Rcpublkitn
party with military dictation at the
poll-. Again.-t this dangerous indicy
the Democratic party has urrjyed it
self and has chosen as its standard
bearer the gallant General WinCelJ
Scott IIanco-lir who has placed him
self squarely pn that isue by jr;
claimlng that tho right of trial by
jury, the habeas corpus, the Iilerty f
the press, the freedom of speech, tho
nntnr.il rights of iiersons and t!;
.
rights of property must be preserved.
In choosing between these two j r
ties I cannot see how a pattict can
blunder. Surely every soldier w!.o
fought with Hancock to conquer
peace will vote with him and for liiu
to make that peace effectual and per
manent. Kntertaining, the highe&t
respect for my fellow eomtuitteemen,
and earnestly hoping that they will
view, this important matter in the
light that I do ami come to the same
conclusion, viz.": to vote for Gen.
Hancock, I am, very respectfully,
your obedient servant,
