REBEL CLAIMS.
In reply to Theodore Cooke,' of Cin
cinnati, asking for as authoritative dec
laration with reference to rebel, claims-,
Gen.' Hancock writes! ' .' i
Goverkor's Islajtd, N. Y.,' Sept 23..
To Theodore Cooke, Esq: Dear Sib:
Your letter of 20th is received. - I regret -that
you are disturbed about that bug'
bear "southern war claims. People caff
not be misled by it tbo suppose that "rebel
claims or claims in. the interest of per'
sons who were in the rebellion can ia
any way or in any degree be counten
anced. The imputation of disloyalty,
such as used to be made against demo
crats even, when they were in arms '. de
fending the country, so far as it touches
me I denounce. . The government can
never pay a debt op grant . & pension or
reward of any sort for waging war
against its own existence; nor could I be
induced to approve or encourage payment
of such debt, pension or reward. "No
body expects or wants. such unnatural
-action. To propose it would insult the
intelligence and honor of our people.
When rebellion was crushed so was the
heresy of secession forever. It is a thing
of the dead past. We move forward not
backward. . If I were president I would
veto all legislation which might come be
fore me providing for consideration or
payment of claims of any kind for losses
or damages by persons who were in re
bellion, whether pardoned or not. In
relation to Union war claims, the gov
ernments obligations to its defenders
come first They are lasting and sacred.
The public laws of civilized nations do
not m general recognize claims for. in
juries to property resulting from opera
tions of the war of the union; but as hos
tilities were closed more than fifteen
years ago claims of that nature, now
mostly in the hands of brokers or persons
other than the original sufferers, are be
coming stale and in my judgment, might
fairly be considered as barred by lapse of
time, and if hereafter entertained at all
should be subjected to the strictest scru
tiny. . Yours very truly,
W. S. Hancock.
Garfield not only perjured himself in
regard to the Credit Mobelier stock and
lied about the back-pay steal, but in a
most positive manner stultified-himself
as a member of the Electoral Commission.
In his place in the House he said: "The
Commissioners have an undoubted right.
under the bill, to go behind the returns
fpr the correction of fraud." He toot a
solemn oath as a member of the Commis
sion in these words: :'':.' 1
" I do solemnly swear that I will im-.
partially examine and consider all ques
tions submitted to the Commission, of '-
'which I am a member, and a true judg
ment give thereon, agreeable to the
Constitution and laws so help me God."
When the vote of Louisiana came up, '
George F. Hoar moved that evidence be
not received in the cases of Louisiana
and Florida,and James A. Garfield voted
"Aye." When the case of Oregon was
called, Hoar moved that evidence be
received in the case of Oregon, and
Garfield again voted "Aye," though the
position was in direct antagonism to his,
vote in the Louisiana motion, in which
he had figured as a doctor of returns.

The Democratic outlook in Illinois is
excellent, and the election of Judge
Trumbull and the state ticket is assured,
if the full vote is polled. Systematic';
organization has been thoroughly effected
in every county, and if the proper work
is done the Democracy can smrely carry i
Illinois, for there has been practically no '
real organization in this state for twenty
years, until the present year that is to j
say, the entire state has not been organ
ized. - There has been an organization in
the southern part of the state and in
ChicagOjbut the northern tier of counties
has been neglected.' , The result has ben
Republican majorities.' TIiU year, by
hard work and thorough organization,
the Democrats hope to car rf Illinois,
and if the present outlook is any indica
tion, the state will five a Democratic
majority in November. Let every Demo
crat de ,his share of the work and the
result will be a surprise to every one. -Rock
