A MUCH-TALKED-OF LETTER, New Yous, July 31.—The #ortd says this letter wes written in reply to two letters on the situation received from Gen. Sherman: Cauonvetet P,-0., St. Lous, Mu., Dec. 28, 1876,—Mx Dean Gusbrau: Your favor ot the 4th inst. renohed me in New York on the Sth,— the day bufore Left for the West. Tintended to reply to in before leaving, but cures incident to departure interfered. ‘Then, again, since my arrival hero:l bave been so oveupied with per- sonal uffuins of a business nuture thut Thavede- ferred writing from day to duy, until tis imorn- ing, and now L tind myself indebt to you unother letter. In acknowledgment of your favor of ith received a ‘few. days since, [have concluded to Jeuve here on the 29th (to-morrow 2fternoun) so that I maybe in New York on the sist inst. it bus been cold and dreary since my arrivat-here, Lbave worked “like a Turk” (1 presume that means hard work) in the country in making feneos, cutting down trees, reputring buildings, etc. ete, and am at least able to say that St. Louis is THE COLDEST PLACE IN THE WINTER anditisthe hottest in summer of any thatI huve encountered in 2 temperate zone. I have known St. Louis in December to bave genial Wenther throughout the month. ‘This Ueeember has been frigid, and the river has-been frozen ore: solid’ than I have ever - known it. hen I: heard the rumor thar was ordered to the Pucific. coast’ 1 thought it probably true, considering the past discussion on that subject. The possibilities seemed to me sponsibilities and anxieties : CONCERNING PRESIDENTIAL MATTERS, which muy fall to those near to the throne or in authority within the next four months, as well as froin other incidents or matters which I could not control, and action conceraing which I Iwas not exactly p. to go the Pacitic, however, thorefore felt relieved when I received your note informing ime that there was no truth in therumors. ‘Thon I did not wish to appeur to be escapthg from responsibilities and possible cluster around military eom-" especially in the critical pe- ried fast approaching. All's well that ends well. ‘The whole ruatter of the Presidency seems tome to be simple, and to sdmit of 2 peaceful solu- might not approve. to dangers which may mands in the E: tion. The muebinery for such & contingency 4s threatens to present itself hus been all carefully prepared, It only requires lubrication, owing to disuse. The army should have nothing to do with the election or iniuguration of, Presidents. The people elect the President... The Congress declures in a joint session who he is. We of the army have only to obey his mandates, and are’ protected in’ so doing oniy so far as they muy be lawful. Our. commissions ex- preas that. [like Jeiferson’s way of inaugura- tion. lt suits our system. He rode aione on horseback to the Capitol ({ fear it was the “ old Cupital "), tied nls horse to a rail fence, entered, and was duly sworn, then rode tu the Executive Mansion and took ion. He inaugurated himself simply by : 2 TAKING THE OATH OF OFFICE. ‘There is no other legal inauguration sn our sys~ tem. The people or pouliticiung may institute parades in honor of the event, and pudlic offi- cluls may ndd to the pugernt by ussembling troops and banners, but ull that only comes properly after the inauguration, not before, and it ig mot @ purc of it Our system oes net provide tbat ane President should {nuugurate angther. re might be danger in that, and it was studiousiy left out of the ebar- ter.’ But you are, placéd in an exceptionally important posinon in coonection with coming eventa, The Capital is in my jurisdiction also, Dat Lum a subordinate and not on the spot, and ‘go algo would be my superior in su- 1s the station of the General- regularly es with March (of which I heve not the stight- est doubt), and which the laws bearing on the subject uniformly recognize, and in considera- don of the possibility taut the lawfully elected President may not appear until the 5th March, A GREAT DEAL OF RESPONSIBICITT, may necessarily fall upon yous You hold over. You wilihave power and’ prestige to support you.. The Secretury of War, too, probably nolds dye, but if no President appeurs he may not be ubleto exercise functions in the usmoof a President, for his proper acts are those of 2 known superior—a luwtul Presiaent, You uct on your own responsibility, and by virtucof a commision ‘only restricted by The Secretary of War is the mouthpiece uf the Pres- fdent. Youare not. If neither candidate basa eonstitutional majority of the Electoral Col- lege, ar the Senate.nnd House, on the occasion of tho count, do not unite in declaring some person iegally elected by the people, there is, ‘a lawful machinery alrendy provided tomect that Gontingeney and decide the question peacefully. Tt has not been recently used, no ovcasion pre- Gonting iteelt, put our forefathees provided it. ithas exercised and has been recognized and submitted tous LAWECL OX EVERY BAND. ee wackinory would probably elect fr. Tilden if l we tho law. resident and Mr Wheeler Vice-President. That would be right enough.for the law provides that, in a failure to elect by the people, the House shall immediately elect the President and the Seuate the Vice-President. Some tribunal must dceide- whether the pdople have duly iccted 2 President. I presume of course that It is in the jolatuffirmative action Of the Henate and House, or why ure they pres- ent to wituoss the count if not to see that it is fuir and just. If a failure to agree arises be- twoen tha two, there can.be no inwful silirma- tive decision that the people have elected a President. and the House proceeds toact, not the Senate: The Senate elects.-Vico-Presidents, not Presidents. Doubtless in case of failure by the House to elect a Prosident by tho ith of Murch, the Proaident of the Senate (if thore be. onc) would be the appropriag person tu_ exercise Prosidentiat authority for.the time .being, or until the appearance of-#:lawful President, or tor the tithe iaid down In the Constitution. Such ‘ourses would be peaceful, and I bave a firm be~ Lief lawful. I baye no doubt Gov. Hayes would MAKE AN EXCELLENT PRESIDENT. i I have met bim and know of him.

I not in favor of military action South Carolina recently, and if Gen. hud telewraphed fo me-oc asked oe aE would have advised him not, under any circum- stances, to allow himself or his -troops to de- termine ‘who were the lawful members of a State Legislature. I could not have given him better advice than to refer him to the special message of the President in the case of . Louisi- ana some time before. But in South Carolinahe bad brad: the question settled by a deci- sion of the Supreme Court of the State, <the highest tribunal which acted on the question,—so that his line of duty scemed even tobe clearer than inthe action in fre ls qiiniane cee. i ike eederat Court had interfered and,overrul lecision o: State Court, there a . oe MIGHT HAVE BEEN A DOUBT certainly, but the Federal Court only interfered to complicate, not to decide or overrule. Any- how, it is no business of the army to enter upon such questions, and, even if- it might be so, in any event, if the civil authority is supreme, as the Constitution declares it to be, the South Curolina case was one in which the army had a plain duty. Had Gon. Ruger asked me for ad- vice, and if Ihad given it, 1 should of course have notitied you-of my action immediately, so that it could hnve been promptly. overruled if it should have been deemed advisable by you or other superior in Sacto Gen. zoaer did advice, he did not destre it, or that, being in direct com- munication with my militury superiors at the seat of Government, who were nearer to him in time and distance than Iwas. He deemed it unnecessary. As Gen. Ruser the ultimate responsibility of action, and had really the greater dan ger to contront in the tinal action in the matter, 1 did not veature to embarrass‘ him by suggestions. He wasa department command- pang ae lawtal head a sy peel adminis- in mits 6 department; bi besides, I knew that he ° ae HAD BEEN CALLED TO WASHINGTON for consultation before taking command, and wus probably aware of the views of the Admin- istration as to civil atfairs in his command. [ kuew that he was in direct communication with my superiors in authority in reference to the delicute subjects presented for his consideration, or had ideas of his own which he belleved to be sutliciently in accord with the views of our com- mon superiors to enable hiin to act intelligent- ly, according to his judgment, and with- out ‘suggestions from those not on the spot and not as fully acquainted with the facts us himself.

C., July'31.—The Demo" crats here are in a state of surprise over the Hancock letter. ‘That about the Constitution and State-rights seemed familiar to them, but not’striking. The only explanation they make of how he came to wait so long to tell them so littleis that Mr. English was not ready. ‘The laughing at the ponderous screed _ of the latter is not confined to the Republican ranks, The remark has been common to-day that itevidently took them both to write a letter. What Hancock did not care to touch English seems to havé been anxious to try his hand upon. It has been rumored here for @ week among the Democrats that the delay in completing the letters arose from the fact that it was found.a hard job to hold Mr. English within prudential limits, either in ‘quality of matter or inthevariety of subjects he was anxious to elucidate. The general opinion among army officers is that Hancock wrote his letter himself. Everybody sees that English ground his out. As to Han- eock, his army friends say he don’t pretend to understand finances, or bank questions, or tariff, and that he hag never _ studied the - problems of labor, ‘and they think he showed his good sense in not putting his first essay on these important subjects into his letter of accept ance. ; ‘There seems to be two currents of feeling among the Democrats in regard to the letter, —namely: one of deep disappointment that it is not a striking and ringing document, and another that, perhaps, after all, they ought to be thankful that, having taken a eandidate who ‘does not pretend to Know much about civil affairs, they have escaped as well as they have in the letter of accept- ance. 5 > PRESS COMMENTS. THE RICHMQND (VA.) “STATE.” Spectat Dispatch to’ The Chicago Tribune, Ricusoxp, Va., July 31.—The Evening State says the public will not be slow In comparing the two Setters of Hancock and Garfield, and contrasting the strength and force’ of the former with the weakness and, timidity of the latter, and particularly will this antithesis be most marked in their treat- ment of the important question of Civil- Service reform.: Hancock boldly takes the anatter up in the very outset of his letter and feariésly enunciates the true principles which should control the conduct of the Government when he says: “Public office is a trust, not a bounty bestowed upon the holder,” and foreshadows "IMS POLICY in the declaration that no Incompetent or corrupt person should ever be intrusted with office, or, if appointed, they-should be promptly ejected. But the true source of Civil-Service reform he holds is the people, and they must begin it by fixing the high standard of honesty and capacity in their elections, and require the same tests to be applied to all officers by appointment. How different is this from Garfield’s evasive milk- and-waterish twaddle, which must mean, if it means anything, that offices must be given asareward for ‘political service only, and that neither honesty nor capacity are neces- sary tests. pe : _: THE RICHMOND “DISPATCH” will say: “Hancock was superb to-day,” saia Gen. McClellan in his official report of one of the battles of the late War. “ Han- cock;was-guperb,” the public will say, “in writing hisiletter of acceptance.” We might ebaracterizé it as-an elegant production, but itis‘uiore: It is concise, clear, and able. It is so phrased’ that every voter in the Jand can understand every sentence in it. Indeed, he is exceedingly happy in his choice of words, It- has been said of Mr. Garfield’s letter of acceptance wus in } that it contained not oue sentence, nor even
