The Durham Recorder ol August

in regard to tbe approach
ing eleclion—we quote:
" In the National and State elec-tions,
let local interests for the time
go by the board. They can be at-tended
to hereafter. Tne pteat end
ia to pot the national governm-.'-it
in the hands of the party which re
cognizes aud obeys a constitution;
which clings lo the spirit as well as
the letter of Republican insiitn
tions; which subordinates the mill
tary to the civil authorities; whieh
defends and secures thej.tst rights
of sovereign States; which honest
ly administers tbe laws; which
practices economy and which light-ens
the load of taxation; which re
gards the people as the source ol
power as well as the foundation ot
national wealth, aud which does not
therefore wantonly oppress them
with burdens and squander their
substance in reckless extravagance;
all of which the Republic-.- party
his done, is doing, and will do to
the end of time il not turned ou'.
And equally necessary it is to re
tain the State government i;: . ■
aud exclude the return of .1 pi rn
whose piiueifjfts and whose pi n

NEW YORK, Augusi •>'.—The
'■ Lite of General Hancock," pub
I shell yesterday, by D Appleton &
Co., contains his correspondence
with Gen. Sherman, of December.
1S7G, and January, 1877. General
Sherman wrote, D.-itember 4tb,
granting Gen. liettcock's applica-tion
lor a leave of absence to go to
Oorondelet, anil in his letter made
the lollowtug allnsious, (the only
ones) to political affairs. Kelerriug
to orders sent by the President to
Geo. Kug?:. commanding the de-partmenI
Ol the South, Gen. Sber
man said: '• Political orders to Ku
gi-r .it Columbia 1 prefer should go
from the Preai lent, to :• t ■:■ through
the Secretary of War. They were
not mililaiy, ami I dislike much lo
have our soldiers used in concert
with a legislative body, but orders
comiug lintn the President have lo
be obeyed. They lorm a bad prece-dent,
but thus lar have prevented
a collision of arms between ioflsu-ed
partisans.9 The letter from Gen.
Hancock (not included iu the pub
lished correspondence) expresses
some uneasiness on account ot news-paper
reports which he had seen,
stating that he was to be ordered

have furnished occasion lor the fol-lowing
letter from Sherman :

me such a purpose and 1 know I have
never siid a word or writteu a
syllable t.> that effect.
I see in the lujiublican, of St.

made but that I destroyed it and
lore 001 I* dVcs of the letter book
containing it. The whole thing

a great change was made after ihe

Congress t,, make laws
necessary to enforce these rights.
This power is new ami absolute,
and Congress has enacted laws
with which «.- are not yet familiar

and 350, Revised Statutes, section
1980. edition lf$7:> '71.
As a matter ol tiei, I dislike to
h-.t'Coiii army need in these civil
conflicts, bui the President has the
lawful right to use the army and
navy, and has exercised the light
as he believes lawfully and right
fully, and our duty has been, and
is. to sustain him with zeal am! siu-ceiity.
As to the presidential elec
turn, we are iu no manner required
to take the least act iou, bui lo re

lawfully appointed officers declari

pray that Congress will agree on

On ihe 10th January, Gen. [Ian-cock
wrote to (Jen. Sherman that
he bad been so busy that he had
"not jet written as he intended."'
In reply to the acknowledgment ol
ids letter from Corondelel, he says :
I wish to uotice simply lour re-lerences
to the Revised Statutes
and one or two other points in a
biiil way. 1 will do so but not to
Buxton's Record.
[Raleigh Observer, Aug. -JTth.J
Judge Huston has beeu frequent
ly charged with having said that
the Canby constitution was a "boon
Irom heaven." We do not know on
what authority the charge is made,
but its correctness seems to be ad
mined by him, as, so lar as we
know, he has made no denial.
There is besides another reason why
we are inclined to believe it. Judge
liuiton was a member of the con-vention,
which assembled in 1875,
lor the purpose ot amending the
constitution. ISefo'e any business
had been done by the convention
in the lint ot the purpose lor which
it had been called, before any pro
posed amendment had been discuss-ed,
a resolution was offered that
the convention adjourn Sine die,
aud Messrs. Barringei and Boxton
both voted, along with Toutgee, la-vorabieto
tbal motion. See, vote,
page 71. Cm. Doc.I This indicates
that these representativesnftheRod
leal party desired to leave the con-stitution
uuameuded, and sustains
in some degree the idea that Bux-ton
thought the Canby constitution
"a boon from heaven. He was
willing, atter all the expense ot call-ing
the convention had been iu
curred, to adjourn without doing
any work whatever. And we may
also well credit the charge above
referred to, because ol many votes
giveu_by Judge liuxton during the
sitting'of the convention.
On page 221 is found a proposed
ordinance relating to sufliage, the
lirst clause providing lor u resi
dence of ninety days iu the county,
and the other clause being as fol-lows
:
But no person who. upon convir: on or
confession in open court, shall bereairer
be adjudged guilty of lelony, or i: any-other
crime infamous by the laws u, the
Slate, shall bo entitled to voti
election under the laws of tin- Siji,.
anlesa such parson shall b- restored lo
the rights ot eitiaenship In a mode pre-scribed.
At page 220, that section being
under consideration, Judge Buxtou
called for a division ol tbe question,
and when the latter clause was put
Co the House he voted Bgaiual it.
fie is thus -shown by bis vote to be
opposed lo making anj difference,
iu the matter ol suffrage, between
a Penitentiary convict and an hon-est
mau. The vote ol the good
citizen, so far as Judge Boxton is
Lfconcerned, would forever be killed
day as I am house hunting. A pro- j by the vote ot some Penitentiary
position lor the joiut commission ' bird. Do-s he possess the kind ol

The Late Gen. Grimes.
[Chatham Record, Aug. 98th.]
The Wilmington Review, in a
recent editorial upon the late Gen.
Hryan Grimes (whose untimely
death we announced last week)
speaks of the admirable manner
with which he handled his troops
after the death of Gen. Ramseur in
the disastrous battle near Fisher's
Hill on the 19th of October 1864.
The A'.■.■•»'.•;.- says that even the
opposing Federal Genera]—Phil
Sheridan—expressed his admira-tion
and highly complimented our
troops Tliis recalls to our mind
an incident of the famous retreat
from Petersburg that we witnessed
and that should be generally
known, as being so highly credita-ble
to Gen, Grimes and his gallant
soldiers. Late in the afternoon of
the tith of April. 1865, (three days
before Lee's surrender) Grimes'
I livision, that had been acting as
the rear guard ol Gen. Lee's army
and had been holding the advanc-ing
enemy in check all day, was
flanked anil overwhelmed by thou-sands
of the "blue coats," and a
regular stampede took place. And
yet on the next morning these
same troops had all collected to-gether
and made one of the most
gallant charges of the war. It
would seem natural tiiat troops.
that had been so overwhelmingly
uted late one evening, would be
too demoralized to face and charge
the enemy on the next morning.
Hut these troops had been so
thoroughly disciplined and had
snch confidence in lien. Grimes
that, when on the morning of the
7th of April Gen Mahone rushed
up to him and staled that his
division had been routed and sev-eral
pieces of artillery were captur-ed,
at his command they raised the
old confederate yell and charged
upon the enemy capturing a large
number of prisoners, recapturing
the artillery, and re-establishing
Mahone'sbroken line. More than
one-half of these troops were
North Carolinians, and Gen. Lee.
who was an eyc-wltncss of the
brilliant charge, complimented
them in the highest terms, and
warmly thanked den Grimes for
bis admirable management of
them.
At the burial of Gen. Grimes
we see it slated that his old war-horse.
Warren, was led immediate-ly
behind the hearse bearing his
military saddle and trappings and
overcoat Old Warren (for he is
now twenty-six years old) was a
great favorite with Gen. Grimes,
for he had shared with him the
dangers of the entire war and it is
-tated that in his will Gen. Grimes

CHICAGO.
Knight Templars Triennial.
(From our Special Correspondent. J
At last the great event is over
and Ihe city begins to assume its
accustomed ways of every-day bu-siness.
Your correspondent will
not weary your readers with tedious
details, bat you can form some idea
of the immense conclave from Ho-tel
statistics. "Oue Hotel, the Pal-mer
House, "slept" aSMon Monday •
:'550 on Tuesday, 21C9 on Wednes-day,
aud on Tuesday fed over two
thousand extra people in the res-taurant.
The largest crowd encountered
by the clerks ol this House pre-viously,
was at the National Re-publican
Convention, wheu over
loOO were provided with beds in a
single night. The gross receipts of
Hotel and Bar were over $10,000,
most of which was.tuken in, in three
days. The receipts ol the Bar
alone were in excess of $1,100 for
two successive days. The average
consumption per day during the
rush was about as follows :
TenderloiD, 1,700 pouuda : roast
beef, 1 ton, chickeua 1 ton, Osh
1,000 lbs.„tlour 15 barrels, potatoes
lOObushels.milk 500 gallons, cream
100 gallons, ice cream 120 gallons,
butter 1,000 pouuds. As for bread,
it was stacked up in hnge piles like
stone heaps on a New Hampshire
farm.
The Chicago Time* says: "The
jam was immense beyond descrip-tion,
aud although Chicago is ac
cuatomed to do what she under-takes
on a large scale, yetforouce
she found it impossible to give sat-islactiou
to her invited guests."
North Carolina was not represent-ed
by a single oommandery. As
might have been expected, tbe palm
lor hospitality was carried home
by a Southern commandery—from
Baltimore.

Arthur follows with an other in his
letter Hayes in a late speech iu

the safety of our government de-pended
on the education of the
masses, ami that in some sections,
(meaning Ihe South,) the standard

to enable these States to give the
rising generation mote and bettei

perfect systeir. ol public schools

the general government should not
