Mcllenry, Til,, Nov. 12th,.1871, recently In varloua Republican papers: Governor Smith, of Wisconsin, has Just returned t'rera an extended trip in California, Oregon, Nevada and Utah, during which he was three days with General Grant. He says that In an Interview he found Grant earnest in his Republicanism and absolutely confident of the success of Gartleld. All talk about his being sore or luke­ warm is false. He appreciates Gar­ field as one of the foremost statesmen of the country, and la convinced that the business interests of the country demand tho election of the Republican ticket. Of Hancock, he says he be­ lieves he is. and always was loyal, and said as much could not be said of all generals who were entrusted with Im­ portant commands under him In the army of the Potomac. In Hancock, however he never discovered the faintest trace of disloyalty, either to the commander or the country. Immediately tho Democratic press seised upon the last two sentences, omitting all that goes before, and sent them the rounds to make a point with the soldier^ vote for their candidate. Whatever may t&»atd of the fairness of thus garbling Governor Smith's r*> port of the conversation of Geir eral Grant, it Is evident the Democracy are bent on prosslng Grant's in line nee into the support of Hancock, if by any hook or crook they can do so. Unfortunately Governor Smith did not give General Grant's conversation fully, which ought riow to bo more com­ pletely reported since the Democratic press have so unfairly used what was given. The writer of this heard the whole conversation, being a listener with Governor Smith and others. General Grant was requested to re­ late the "true Inwardness" of Order No. 40, which Is Hancock's political capital, and was the Convention's main reason for nominating him. The General then represented substan­ tially as follows: Sheridan being com­ mander of tiie military districts of Louisiana and Texas discovered that a certain set of Louisiana officials were about to consummate a prodigious fraud upon the people, and he prompt­ ly removed them from office. At this time President Johnson and Congress were in conflict as to tiie proper policy to be pursued lit reconstructing the States recently In rebellion. Congress determined to reconstruct by using tho loyal element in tilling the civil ofllces. Johnson determined to oppose Con­ gress and use the disloyal element. Ilence^offllfttls 'hjf' ttMK Idan had the President's oar, and In turn secured Sheridan's removal. Johnson looking around for soiue one to fill his plaoo. hit upon „ General Hancock. When Hancock came to Washington on his war to New Orleans. Grant, be­ lieving that netther he nor Johnson understood the situation In regard to the great fraud about to be consuin- mated.called on Hancock to aoqualnt him with the facts, without waiting for a call from him, as military eti­ quette would have justified. A little while before, Johnson had asked Grant to replace the officials but for oue day, promising that they should then re­ sign. Grant denied the request, know­ ing that one day would bo sufficient for the accomplishment of their ini­ quitous purpose. General Grant openod the conversa­ tion with Hancock by remarking that as military officers It was their duty to enforce tiie laws of Congress without assuming to decide upon their merits. To tiiis Hancock replied that he "did not believe in nigger supremacy," Grant responded: "Hancock, tills is too little a tiling for us to talk about' If two millions of emancipated blacks can attain supremacy over thirty-five millions of whites, we ought rather to secure their favor than to Incur their hatred by oppression." The conversation revealed to Grant that Hancock was wholly ^committed to Johnson's policy, and that further communication would be useless and unsafe; therefore ho withdrew froin the conference. Hancock went on to New Orleans an J issued Order No. 40. General Grant, excrcisiug powers which Congress had conferred upon him that lie might checkmate Johnson's movements when necessary, instantly telegraphed Han­ cock to suspend his order and report by •nail his reasons for issuing it. Hancock answered by a telegrapm costing two hundred and fifty dollars. Grant re­ sponded by repoatiug his order. This brought another telegram from Hancock, to the effect that If his ad­ ministration was thus to be interfered with his usefulness was at an eiid, and lie must ask to be relieved. He was rolieved, but before the effects of that order could be counteracted a number of Union.men lost their lives. And not oidy so, but, at least, twtf Confed­ erates who had fought for the Southern Confederacy, because they would not violate their sense of honor and wink at certain outrages committed upon Union men by the minions of Southern hate, were also sacrificed. In view of all the facts. General Grant said: General I'aucock fnstead of sub­ ordinating the millitary power to the civil power of the United States Gov­ ernment, simply subordinated it to Johnson's policy was then galvanizing Into new life." * ThcM|facts make ft plain enough why General Grant is solid" for General Garfield, and also why the South Is "solid" for ̂ General Hancock. The South knows her man. Very true, as the Democratic press by a garbled extract from Govenor Smith would make It appear. General Grant speaks of General Hancock^ loyalty in no disparaging terms. But loyalty Is one thing, and statesmanship is quite another; and no one knows better how to distinguish between them than the hero-statesman who sus­ pended Hanfcock, He is exceedingly just In his discrimination when discus­ sing the merits^f the various aspirants to public favor. His insight Into char­ acter is wonderfully aocur&te, and while he accords to General Hancock all that can be justly clAlmed for him as a soldier, he is equally prompt in denying to him the statesmanship which the Democratic party claims for him when he attempted to blend the politician with th« soldier in issuing Order No. 40 If any one doubts the foregoing facts brought out by the interview with ueneral Grant, let the Democratic press, which has so eagerly pressed Into their service the garbled testimony of Governor Smith, call liim ft«. tho witness-stand, 'T1-""T From the Aurora BKAOOW. ' WThe Messrs. VanNortwiek, of the Batavia paper mill, and heavy owners of other manufacturing prop­ erty iu that place, have long been known as loading Democrats In this vicinity. Notwithstanding oertain rumors of late, tiie following paragraph in a Batavia lettorjgto the Chicago Times of Wednesday hist was so^e" what surprising to |people who had known their political lite for years: The Republicans are jubilant aver t h o a c c e s s i o n s t o t h e i r r a n k s o f i h e VanNortwicks and James A. Allen, of the Batavia Paper Mill, who with the majority of their men. will support Gar tie U1 in this campaign. They are towers of strength, and their forces comprised about one third of the Ba­ tavia Democracy. John VanNortwiek, the father of the Batavia VanNort­ wicks, was once the Democratic nom­ inee for Congress iu that district, and Mr. Allen wits a delegate to the late Democratic State Convention. They do not like Democratic tariff ideas. And so It must be with many intel­ ligent Democrats who deslrp the pros­ perity of the country. The country is now prosperousjand while the Repub­ lican party Cart claim n« credit for bounteous crops, etc., yet itjean claim credit for the healthful and oasjr con­ dition of tho6e channels through which trade Is conducted, and the hearty con­ fidence which Impregnates all circles of business and for tho perfect oondi- tlon of the»currenoy, which oiablei tho handling of all produce with ease* celerity and economy. No man who can plaoe tho welfare of his country above partisanshl p, w Ishes any Mchange" In the administration of tho govern­ ment of the country now. THK TKXA8 I DICK. We have become somewhat familiar with the "Ohio idee." the "Mississippi idee," and several other Democratic make-shifts, but the latest might be called the Texas Mideo," and from the *.he fact that Texas aspires to be the banner Democratic State of tho Union and as she claims the credit of working up the Hancock uomination, her "Idee" is to become the national "Idee'Mf the Cincinnati ticket is elected in Novem­ ber. When candidates were presented for nomination at the Democratic Con­ vention which convened in Dallas on the 10th, Mr. Stewart, of Harris county nominated Lieutenant-Governor Say- ers for Governor and said: 'Without saying one word derogatory to any man whoso name will be placed before the convention, he is capable and honest. I have heard no charge agaiust him, except that he is a young man. Let me say, young as he Is, he is he is old enough to have shed his blood In defense of Ills country.' Mr, SayersJ shod his blood while fighting the United Statos Govern­ ment as an officer In the Confederate army. If his blood was shed In defense of Ills present country, in whose or what country's defense was the Demo- eiatic candidate for President fightini when he shed his blood at Gettys- urghP Mr. Stewart, however, 3poke more freely than he thought. The average Southern Democrat, those who give the majorities at the polls, believe they fought for their coiyitry and that Union men fought against It. And that is the Texas Mldee." which Is to be made national if they get possesssou of the government. OCR WASHINGTON COKHWIIMI WASSIMOTOX, August tlst* 1880.

Constitution, « ^ ^ The reflection most be hwtflllat to the mind of such a pure and loja statesman as General Hancock li alleged to be, that as the candidate o his party it Is Incumbent upon lilm proclaimed* loyalty to the Govern if tnent, and to give the assurance that all the amendments to the Constitution will be protected and enforced If l»e^ should become the Chief Magistrate^ . The amendments to the CtonstStittini|| 1. are just as much a part of the ln*tru|| ment as the first article is a part of i4« aud why should General Hancock out and give assurance of his support?^ of those amendments? Why should no®* General Garfield have done the samfc thing? Because It was unnecessary?1, ; Everybody knows that the meuts will he respected by the .llepul^j llcan party, while General Ilancoejjp- thinks it essential to record a promjsi that the Democrats will do the s&m|| thing. He knows It is necessary to claim hlsjparty's loyalty, for the ircorif ̂ '- Is against;)t. The Democratlo candidate says thai^.f the war Is over, and that It Is necessar*£ to have peace.
