The officers followea them, and the distillers opened fired again, which was also returned, driving off the assail- ants. One prisoner, with arms in bis hands, Was brought out by the officers, and it {s known that two of the attacking party were wounded, one probably fatally. A MEMBER OF THE CABINET ON THE TICKET.—A member of the Cabinet said last night that the democratic ticket probably will not poll the full democratic vote in the north, and cannot secure any republican or independent votes. “It lias @ great many weaknesses and those weaknesses will become more apparent as the campaign proceeds. Hancock is a mere soldier, he {s not a statesman, he has no Lenton of affairs; he is a soldier indeed whose political record con- siste of pronunclamentoes which were practi. cally insubordination. He always toadied to the democrats in the south, and wrote letters protesting against the orders that he was ap- pointed to execute,” EXPORTATIONS FROM SWITZERLAND 10 THs Univep SraTes.—The charge d’affatres of the United States at Berne has furnished the De- Partment of State with a comparative table, published by the Swiss bureau of statistics, of the exportations from Switzerland to the United States from 1964 to 1879, Inclusive.

There was an tncrease In 1879 of 23 per cent compared with the annual average for the years is6¢ to 1sis. ‘The value of watches and their accessores ——— was 52 per cent below the average for the period of 1364 to 169, though there was an increase of 28 per cent over the average of the years 1576 to 187s, The Alnerican desaand In 18:9 for Swiss watches and Works amounted to but 5,292,086 francs In value, against an annual average of /1,000,392 franc in the previous fifteen years. Embroideries ex- ceeded by from two to three million francs the large exportations of 1si7 and 1315. There was alco quite an inerease in leathers.

Majer General Winfield S, Hancock Major General Winfield Scott Hancock, who Was unanimously nominated for the presidency by the democratic national convention in Cin- cinnatl yesterday, bears a family name which Jong before his birth bad been celebrated in revolutionary annals, To this family belonged Jobn Hancock, of revoluuionary fame, who in 1:76, as president of the Continental Congress, signed the the Declaration of Independence. Gen. Hancock was born in Montgomery Sear Pennsylvania, February 14, 1524. early education was received at an academy in Norristown, where he spent the first years of his youth. He gradu- avcd from West Point June 30, 1544, served in the Mexican war with distinction, and at its close was brevetted first heutenant for gallant and meritorious services at the battles of Con- treras and Cherubusco. From 1545 to 1858 he Was engaged in frontier duty, and when the civil war broke out was quartermaster of the | southern district of California. Offering his services to the government he was cailed to Washington, entered the Union service, and in teptember, 1861, was commissioned a brig- adier general by President Lincoln. His dis- tinguished services during the war of the rebellion are almost too well known to require recapitulation. During the Virginia peninsular campaign he was especially con- spicuous at the batties of Williamsburg and Frazer's Farm, making several daring charges at the head of his column. He commanded a division at the battle of South Mountain and Antietam, He also commanded a corps (the 24) at Fredericksburg and Chancellorsville, Va., having already been madea tnajor general. Oi Jwy 1, 1863, the first day of the battle of Gettys- burg, ‘he was sent by Gen. Meade to decide whether a decisive battle should be given there or whether the army should fall back. He reported that Gettysburg was the place to figat, and tcok lmmediate command until the val of Meade. In the decisive action of July 3d_he commanded on the left center, which was the main point assailed by the confeder- ates, and was severely wounded. fs, duct at Gettysburg he received (May 20, 1866,) the thanks of Congress. Having been disabled by bis wound, he was on sick leave until March, isé4, being meagwhile engaged in recruiting the Sccond army corps, which was placed un- der his command. He took the active commana Of this corps at the opentog of the campaign of Ise4, and bore a prominent part in the battles of the Wilderness (May Spottsylvanta Court House (May 9, 20), and North Anna (May 23, 24), the second battle’ of Cold Harbor (June 3) and the operations around Petersburg untti June 3%, When, his wound breaking out, he was fora short time on sick leave. On the 26th of November, 1864, Gen. Hancock was detached from the army of the Potom.ec and placed in command of a corps of 50,000 vete- Tans, with bis headquarters at Winchester, Va. Refcre he had an opportunity for active service, however, the surrender of Gen. Lee at Appo- mattox put an end to the war. When Presl- dent Lincoln was assassinated he was sum- moned to Washington and took command of the military forces there. It thus happened that he was called upon in his official ca- pacity to perform the painful duty of at- tenoing the execution of Mrs. |" Surratt. Later in July General Hancock was trax- ierred to the middle department. His headquarters were at Baltimore. He remained in command of department until July, 1866, when he was put in command of the de- partment of Missouri. About the same time he was made major general in the regular army, having already been breveted to the same grade for “gallant and meritorious services at Spott- Sylvania.” While in the west he conducted several camp: against hostile Indians in the Indian territory, Kansas and Colorado, His subsequent commands have been those of Louisiana and Texas, of Dakota and of the de- partment of the east—the last, his preseat charge, with headquarters on Governor's island. The civil record of Gen. Hancock was chiefly made while in command of the fitth military district, embracing the states of Louls- jana and Texas. On Ing command of the district, Gen. Hancock issued an order assert- ing the supremacy of the civil over the military wer in time of peace. This order brought iim into such prominence before the national democracy that in the convention of 1863 he re- ceived 14459 votes. Again im 1876 at the St. Louis convention pe received 75 votes. In per- sonal appearanceGen. Hancock 1s a remarka- bly fine looking man, over six feet high. of fine physique and welghs nearly 300 pounds. Per- sonally he is very popular with all who come im contact with him, and will undoubtedly ex- cite great enthusiasm among the democracy. William H. English. William H. English, the democratic candidate for Vice President, was born in Scott couaty, Indiana, August 27. 1822, In the vil e of I®x- ington. He studied law and was admitted w practice in the circuit court at the early age of eighteen, and to the Supreme Court of the United States when only twenty-three. Be- fore he was of age he served as delegate from his hative county to the democratic state conven- tion that nominated General Tilghman A. Howard for governor, and took the stump in advocating his election. After the election of James K. Polk he accepted an appointment as clerk in the Treasury department, which he filled during that administration. In 1850 he was secretary of the convention to revise the constitution of Indiana, and in 1851 he was elected a member of the state legislature under the new constitution. In 1852 he was elected to Congress, and entered that body at the commencement of President Pierce's admin- istration, being then only 27 years of age. He served four terms in Congress immediately pre- ceding the v He took an active part in op- position to the bill for the admission of Kansas under the Lecompton constitution, which did not prohibit the institution of slavery. The Senate bad passed the bill, but Mr. English moved to concur in the proposition for a com- mittee of conference. The vote of the House stood 10S to 108, but the speaker voted in the atiirmative and the motion prevailed, From that committee Mr. English reported what is known as the English bili, which became the Jaw. By it §the question of admission under Ef the Lecompton constitution was referred back . to the people of Kansas, and they refused it, as was expected. Mr. English was re-elected to Congress after this exciting question was set- Ued, but after the close of the 36th Congress he Tetifed from official life. He then entered into the banking business, and for 14 years was president of the First National Bank of Indian- apolls, retiring in 1877 to private life. Political Notes, Editor Howell, of the Atlanta Constituion commenting on the appearance of the Tam- tnany club, said: “If I lived in the nortt I Should be a republican. Thatisall the com- ment I care to make on the representatives of the New York city democracy.” In Maine the following Congressional nomt- nations have been made: 2d district, Hon. W. P. Frye, republican; 4th district, C. A. Boutelle, republican; 5th district, Hon’ Thompson H: Murch, greenbacker. David Dudley Field, democrat and brother of Candidate Justice Field, speaks well of Garfield. He heard the news at Stockbridge and said: “ I forgot my party: affillations for a time and was Teal glad “He tsa brosd man His information and reading qualify him to be an ornament in his position.” ‘The newspaper portraits are making a pretty bad looking brigand of Hancock, too. It may interest a very few people to know that the Texas greenback state convention has nominated W. H. Hammond for governor and Geo. Gidens for lieutenant governor. Hon. J.T. Updegraff has been renominated for Congress by the republicans of the 16th Ohio district. Private Dalzell was his principal competitor. 3 SECRETARY Ramsey and Col.

McDows commanding on the How it Strikes the Press. ‘The press opinions of Gen. Hancock are nearly all favorable. The Baltimore Sun says the Cin- cinnati ticket, like that nominated at Chicago, is a “surprise.” It 8} in high termsof both Hancock and English; says Hancock In “becom ing an American soldier did not cease to be an American citizen,” and that we will have an old-fashioned contest of principles and mea- sures, The Gazette says the nomination has ‘solved the presidential problem and once more rein- stated the democratic party in the affections of the American people.” It extols Hancock and expresses confidence in his election and inaugu- ration. The American thinks the people are tired of military rulers, says Hancock is nothing but a “gallant soldier,” ranking with Warren, Sedg- wick and Fitz John Porter, but below Grant, Sherman and Sheridan; that he knows nothing about civil administration and his nomination is “dem: 5 Of the Philadelphia Pat the Record says the nomination was probably the clearest solu- tion of the difficulties which beset a choice at Cincinnati. Probably among all the candidates named there was not a safer nominee. The Times says: “Gen. Hancock giveg the democracy a better record than it has given itself, and he is vastly stronger than the party in state and nation. His candidacy strips the contest of the last vestige of sectionalism, and leaves the republicans with no attribute outside of the inherent merits of their candidate and present record that can appeal to patriotism.” The Inquirer says: “‘A candidate to be consid- ered not hopelessly weak should be able to com- mand the vote of his own state. That General Hancock cannot do.” It considers him a weak candidate. The Ledger says: “General Hancock, falling in every other effort, seeks at last to masquerade into power under the name and shield of a sol- der. The nomination of General Hancock rep- resents no idea or principle but that of supposed availability. He was a good soldier, but there his title begins and ends.” The North American says: “While we could esteem as nothing less than calamity the suc- cess of the democratic party, we must recognize from the beginning that itsdefeat in the coming campaign will find no promoting cause in any quality or lack of personal deserving on the part of its most distinguished candidate for the presidency.” ‘The Erening Telegraph says “no more military men,” and while it would not disparage Han- cock the business of nominating soldiers “ought to be played out.” The Evening News says the nomination ts a sbub to both Tilden and Randall and a triumph for Wallace; also that. 1t will make the struggle in Pennsylvania a “severe one.” Ofthe New York press, the Staats Zeitung strongly approves the Cincinnati nomination, and considers the result reached by the conven- tion a sign of improvement in the political con- dition of the country. ‘The Sun says the nomination of Gen. Han- cock presents the same great issues which would have been presented by the nomination of Mr. Tilden, although ithad hoped that the latter would have been nominated by the con- vention. The Journal of Commerce highly eulogizes Gen. Hancock, and says he is fit to sit in the chair of Washington. ‘The Graphic says the democrats have de- served well of their country in nominating Hancock, but it doubts the wisdom of men from military life to place them in high civic positions. The Zvening Post praises Hancock as a sol- dier, and says his fidelity to the union cannot be challenged. It thinks ‘in some respects the nomination is a strong one.” ‘The Mati cries out against the election of a military man, and predicts that the people will reject Hancock for Garfield. he Commercial Advertiser cere toa strong nomination and says partisan journals May as well understand that no votes areto be made for Garfield out of the Surratt matter. It ee 1s not as fit for the Presidency as Garfie The Brooklyn Unton-Argus says Hancock is a soldier and not a politician; that Garfield adds to a brilliant war record a successful legislative career, and the “republicans go to the people with entire confidence.” ‘The Richmond State says the nomination has stirred the country with delight, and with such ‘a leader the democrats may securely look to a great triumph. ‘The Pitts a Chronicle says that “by the nomina’ and giving hearty support to men who s€1 in the Unfon army, the democrats have labored to gain the confidence of the peo- le. It 1s now Foposed fo crown these efforts yy submitting e people a man whom even the tongue of slander not assailed.” The Boston Herald says the nomination {s a strong one before the people, and the Journal thinks Hancock the strongest man in the demo- cratic party except Seymour, ‘The southern papers all endorse heartily the nomination of Hancock and promise him earnest Support. ‘The Mobile Register, a leading paper e south, voices the opinion of that section Says; ‘The national democratic conven- ton have done nobly in presenting to the coun- try the names of Hancock and English. Gen. Hancock's record, as citizen and soidier, is un- assailable by the republican party upon any of the issues connected with the late civil war. Asa federal general he fought the south with EreAeeeuanay, and when the war was over ex- tended to us the rights of citizens, and nobly vindicated the supremacy of civil law. His public papers while commander of Louisiana and Texas during the dark days of reconstruc- tion are marvels of stat hip. They pre- sent a platform of principles upon which the democratic party can plant themselves with as- surance of victory.” ‘The New York World says the nominations “carry with them the guarantee and the pro- phecy of a great political victory.” It not only endorses Hancock, whom it supported in 1876, but approves the manner in which he was nom- inated; says the machine and syndicate system has been broken down, and 1s confident of suc- cess. The Herald says the nomination of Hancock makes impossible a Cee campaign. It extols Hancock, and says that, while he will be cajled a military man, it {s a happy omen that the rebel brigadiers were the first to support him The Herald 1s satisfied the country will be safe with Hancock in the presidential chair. The Tribune says that in refusing to nomin- ate Tilden, the democratic party have abandon- the boo Cee cope Rasen Lene a con Tah campai says Tepublicans w1 beat Hancock. - ‘The Times belittles and abuses Hancock; calls Bim ‘commonplace,’ ete., and speaks of him with the utmost contempt. ‘THE PREBIDENT returned to the city this af- ternoon from Ohio.

What terson sa LOUISVILLE, KY. ye -» June 2. —The Courier- Journa says ot the democratic nominee for President: “Winfield Scott Hancock 1s the democratic candidate for the presidency of the United States. The south takes him, and wi!l give him her undivided vote. He fought the South, but when the smoke of battle rolled away he as earnestly fought against the im- PostUons of despotic coe ‘upon the south- ern communities in the military division of which he was the head. He understood the war to have been fought to mainiain the su- Ppremacy of the constitution over the southern States, and when the contlict ended he knew that logically these states were under the con- stitution, and that the substitution of the sword for civil government was but a new phase of rebellion against the constitution for Which the unton armies fought.” The Memphis Appeal Endorses Han. coc j MEMPHIS, TENN., June The Appea!, edl- | torily, says: While’ in Memphis, three months ago, General Hancock asked his friends to make no demonstration over his arrival, or even an- | nounce his presence in the newspapers, as his Visit to bis son in Mississtppt would be attribu- ted to an electioneering tour, which was abhor- Tent to his feelings. General Hancock was one of the most gallant soldiers in the federal army, but while he was for war during the war, he has been for peace in time of peace. Democrats, in assembling at Cincinnatl, were resolved to uom- inate no man for the presideucy whose charac- ter was in the least tainted with disloyalty, ana they present to the country one of the most co} spicuous heroes of the late war, a man who shed his blood in defence of the Tnion, a maa who has endeared himself to the southera people by his administration. lican New N.Y., JUDE says of the tcl n the nominees party, which, by the way, able than we'supposed Ue Wonid select, we fail to find a single element of political strength. ‘The nominee for President ossibly carry his Owl state, and the ‘copperhead’ record of the candidate for Vice President will cost ifm thousands of votes in his native state. A more inconsistent ticket Was never put in the fleld. At the head stands a Union general, whose patriotsin_ and braves Lone can question. At its tall stands the nami of arebel copperhead whose Iniluence durin those dark days was diametrically 0 that of the man who leads the ticket. ‘Tk is a weak one and is bound to be beaten.” Ratification Meetings in California SAN FRANCISCO, CaL., June 24.—The demo- crats throughout the interior of the state are ratifying the Cincinnati nominations to-night by meetings, processions, bonfires, salutes, « A ratification meeting inthis city has been fixed for \o-morrow night.
