The Reunion of the Boys in at Indianapolis. ISJTKTAL BT TBLBSRAPII TO KBOOE.D-UXIOS.J Chicago. October The Tribune editoriiUy tays The Tribune has been permitted to copy the following extract fro-u a private letter written to a friend in lowa by an officer in Geucral Hancock's Department, who for many years has been near to the person and confidencs of General Hancock. We give the text verbatim, as it evinces the writer's affection for hia commanding General, aud bears marks of truth and sincerity. It says Goybrxor'h burnt, N.

September 28, 1880, Genera! Hancock, the dear old man, is just now on the verge of desperation, and knows not which way to turn or what to do. The glitter of the Presidency has turned his head, and the continued din and turmoil nf the campaign, with differences between Northern and Southern Democrats, so strongly marked, to equalize and adjust, I fear will drive him stark mad. 11., my dear boy, Hancock is no more fit for the Presidency than a withered hemlock. 1 will be frank with you. It is true that he knows nothing of the South, except the few polished and crafty leaden that call upon him here, and his brief acquairiaance with the same class of men in New Orleans.

lie means well enough, God bless him but he cannot comprehend the crookedness of politics and those bred in the bone politicians. And now, while on the subject, I will give you the history of this Hancock move, ana it is this That the Indiana disunionist, William 11. gush, i. to be the real President. Hancock is not expected to live out a fraction of his term, and that expectation, I am sorry to say, is founded on facts.

Any digression from his regular habits is liable to bring on an apopletic stroke, of which strong symptoms have twice exhibited themselves since bis nomination, and it is the verdict of all around him that his promotion to the Presidency will terminate his earthly career but this fact has been and is most carefully guarded, for reasons you can readily discern, and now, dear boy, you have tin: inside of this Presidential business. With English as President, you can readily comprehend what those shrewd fellows of the South can accomplish. The above reads like a family letter indeed, it comes from a member of General Hancock's military family, and one who regards Hancock with something of the same affection a son feels for his father. We have the original letter in our possession, with a private note from the receiver of it, authorizing the publication, but withholding the name of the writer for personal reasons. POLITICAL COMPLEXION OF THE NEXT HOUSE.

New Yobk, October The Times Bays The concurrent testimony of our correspondents, who have examined party prospects in the "Congressional Districts of the various States, is that solid gains will be made in the Republican delegation to be selected this fall. In Ohio the publicans expect to gain six Representatives in Indiana, at least two in Pennsylvania probably two, and even in North Carolina, which has at present but one Republican Representative, there is a fair chance of carrying three districts. Starting in Vermont with a Republican gain of one i district, and with a prospect of turning from 20 to 30 seats throughout the North, the political complexion of the new House is hardly matter of doubt. TUB "BACK" IS IMPORTATION OF ROUGHS. New Yobk, October The BeraltTs Indianapolis special asserts positively that Senator Barnum laid down his check for $40,000 yesterday on a table in room No.

10, and Mr. English covered it with $10,000, after which Barnum went over to Cincinnati. Mr. New is in constant receipt of dispatches from HornelUville and Harrisburg, information of the movements of repeaters, and Governor Gorham tells your reporter that they are confident of the presence of between 700 and 800 roughs from New York and Philadelphia. Among the prominent men from Philadelphia are the notorious Bill McCullen, Buck McCandlesa, Johnny 3lcCormick, Joe 'father, W.

Gallop, Martin Kallacky, John Doe, John Carrigan, Joe Henry, B. 1... Smith, C. Adam and Mike -Stafford all well known in their city. It is supposed that Indianapolis will be the distributing center, whence will go the essentials fer victory in Cincinnati and Columbus.

THE OAME OF "BLUFF." Chicago, October The Times' Indianapolis special says The Timtt correspondent, while in the Democratic headquarters, chanced to mention a report he had heard that $10,000 would be offered in one lump on Porter to-morrow, and the vague and uncertain intelligence created a panic. The Democratic statesmen have it that a portion of the Republican corruption fund will be used in this way. It is probable that a Democratic pool will be made to take any bluff which may be made. THE GRANT INTERVIEW AGAIN. And now comes Judge E.

Martindale, former editor of the Indianapolis Journal, with a statement that in a conversation with General Grant, held at Manitou Springs, Colorado, last July, the latter had expressed himself substantially as in Rev. Mr. Fowler's interview. Judge Martindale says, however, that Grant, in speaking of Hancock, referred to him as a soldier in terms of praise, with the qualification that though he had proven himself an excellent corps commander, he had never shown himself possessed of any ability to fill a higher pouition. The Judge remembers distinctly that he had used none of the unsoldierlike epithets attributed to him by Rev.

Mr. Fowler, and the harshest criticism he had indulged in was that Hancock waR wrapt up in himself, and that he was undoubtedly a vain man. Grant went into details with regard to the Louisiana business, and his remarks on this subject were about as given in his published interview, only more particularly. -Judge Martindale said he would have given this important information but for the fact that he supposed the conversation was private. OOMPUMEXT FROM CAMERON.

Simon Cameron did the Chairman of the Republican State Central Committee the honor of saying, on the occasion of his late visit to Indianapolis, that the Indiana organization wae the most perfect he had ever seen. OZNERAL fIRANT AMI HANCOCK MATTER. Chicago, October Daily News reporter had a brief interview with General Grant this morning. The ex-President was asked if he had received any communication from General Hancock relating to the recent Fowler interview. General Grant replied I have not." Reporter you expect no communication General Grant It is not impossible that I bear from General Hancock.

General Grant leaves for New York, accompanied by Mrs. Grant, via the Pittsburg and Fort Wayne Railway, at 3 o'clock this afternoon. He will go through without making any stops. HANCOCK AGAIN INTERVIEWED AOAINBT HIS i WILL. New York, October The Evening Express (Democratic) prints the subjoined interview with Hancock to-day And, General," said the reporter, will you make a formal reply to the statement yourself made recently by Grant "It is yet too early to answer that.

There is a good deal to be read and clearly understood before a determination can be arrived lam unwilling to be interviewed," was the reply. General," said the reporter, "I am directed to ask you if President Lincoln offered to you the command of the army of the Potomac before Grant was called to com tnand." "There is a history but I don't want to be interviewed. I can't be interviewed every day. I was held in Washington I was detained there a month. I don't say by whom.

Lincoln was present. It was before Grant was called to the command. There had been a the battle of Mine Rub, I think. Bat ask army officers who know all about the matter. There are men who know the facto.

I will aot be interviewed." From other sources than Hancock the Settling Express has information, which it Tim good reason to regard as true, that Lit ir.oln.did tender the command of the army the Potomac to Hancock before Grant Ucame its commander, and that written evidence of the truth ot (his important fact bin existence. HANCOCK AT HW MrMTART FAMrLT. ew Youk, October Sth. A reporter called on General Hancock to-day in regard to the recently published interviews with General Grant. General Hancock said "I have not lepHed, nor have I prepared to reply In fact 1 have not yet carefully read what General Grant has said about me, and which has been given to the public through the medium of the 01 the assertion that when the Army of the Potomac was looking for a commander Hancock's name was not even suggested for the place, General Hancock says: "After the failure of the 1 was detained in Washington one month by Secretary Stan ton, with a view of placing me in command of the Army of the Potomac but I did not want it, and would not accept it." General Hancock's are Captain Wharton, Captain Ward and General who were with Hancock at the battle of Gettysburg.

The three are regarded as the "military family" of General Hancock, one member of which family is understood to be the person who wrote the letter which appeared in the Chicago Tribune. General Mitchell was not at headquarters when the reporter called, but Captain Wharton and Captain Ward expressed much indignation, and fcaiii they did not believe- any such letter had ever been written. ANOTHEB PLEASANT SPEECH BY GENERAL GARFIELD. Cleveland, October The First Voters' Gartield and Arthur Battalion of Cleveland went to Mentor this afternoon a special train of six cars, and called on General Garfjeld at his Lawnfield home. The train stopped at the farm, and the battalieu, headed by a band, marched to the residence, where Herman W.

Grnunma, Prerioent of the organization, made a Vrief eulogistic address, to which General Garfield ponded as follows Mr Chairman and Young- Gentlemen: This is no ordinary event in the history of any man, indeed in the history of any people, when, as I am told, there are 400 young men here who have made this jour my not for any personal purpose, but to express that that wises in the hearts of active, intelligent young men when they crapple the questions of their country. I know of nothing quite like this iv our With all the pleasure it brings me, I am bound to say it brings a little disenchantment to me this always to this time I have teen accustomed to con-ider myself a young man. i laughter and applause. I If before yonrar rival anybody had raised the question, 1 should have asserted, with a Rood deal of indignation, if anybody had denied it, that I myself was a young man. But they tell me that you are to cast your first national vote at a Presidential election.

If that is so, young man as I am. I was a voter before any of you v. re born. Now, if you are young men and voters, borrowing the lanpuaee of Itip Van Winkle when he awoke from that long deep, "Who in the world amir 1 Laughter and I must have passed the very flush of youth at least, but, young gentlemen, I have not so far left the coist of youth to travel inland but that I can very well remember the state of young manhood from an experience in it of some years, and there is nothing to me in this world so in spiring as the possibilities that lie locked up in the head and breast of a young man. The hopes that lie before him, the great inspirations around him, great aspirations above him all these things, with the untried pathway of life opening up its difficulties and dangers, inspire him to courage, and force, and work.

It is a spectacle that the very gods would look down on, even in ancient Roman with more than ordi' nary interest. Now, let me say a sin(rle word or two in answer to the great kindness and compliment in year coming to my house, about some of the thoughts that I know get into the hearts of youug men to inspire them, and some delusions that arc likely to get into their minds. Let me speak of one delusion, that I think, from remarks of your young Chairman, you are not likely to have. It is a delusion that affects all men more or less, particularly the young the delusion thai the sood thing! and great things are some way off, yonder, away, abroad. That is one of the delusions that I hope you are not indulging in.

To illustrate that outright, over here fifteen miles, where I spent my childhood, there is a lovely little brook and a gorge where we used to go down and find slate stones and whittle them out into pencils for ourselves, that were better than all the pencils I brought from abroad but if any boy ever brought into our school what is not in any English ciouarv, but in the school boy's dictionary, a boughten pencil," he could get a whole handful of our homemide pencils for it, and yet every one of ours was better than the best that he brought from abroad. There was a delusion among us that outside of us. away from us, glory, was greatness Now, as to our country, let us not get any such delusion into our heads. I know that it is a good thing for us to i know all about abroad, to know what it is, to large our minds by it but I want you to feel in the 1 depth of your heart that there is no abroad in all this world" that is half equal to the glory of being an American here at home and to day. Kight here in this yard is a splendid specimen of American the roof and crown of this world of sovereignty.

Enlarge it into millions of men who vote, and you have the grand, august sovereign this last and best born of time, the American Republic. Now, that the sovereign shall be unshackled forever that that sovereign be unpurchaseable when it stands at the ballot-box to order the supreme will of the nation that that sovereign shall be unint ed by mortal man when it utters the final oruniflc word that commands the this is the great purpose that all true Americans should keep in their minds. When I see such a band of earnest young men as meet me here to-day, I feel certain that if they would deploy themselves as a ballotbox guard to defend the purity of the American ballot-box to stand around it as around the cradle of our heir apparent of American sovereignty, such guardians, such defenders, will keep the Republic pure ant keep it free. Young gentlemen, your visit to me gives me a compliment of the highest sort, and while it disenchants me, as 1 said a little while ago, it still reaches the hand of the young out to me, which I take with all cordiality and earnestness, and for your tender support to me, which is not for my sake, but for the sake of the cause of which I am the representative, I give you all the thanks of which my heart is capable. Applause.) The house is small, the farm is small, the county is a small but there is in it to give, lof generosity, and hospitality, welcome, that is in my hands to give, is yours while you stay.

lApplause and Ibid you welcome to all there is of us, gentlemen. THE BOYS IS BLUE DEMONSTRATION. Indianapolis, October Bth.

A number of the leading manufactories and business houses were represented. By actual count there was over 5,000 persons in the procession. The streets on the line of march were profusely decorated.

The afternoon was occupied in speaking at the Wigwam, Court-house and Circle Park, by Senator Conklinc, General Kilpatrick, Judge J. W. Tenny, General Banks and others. To-night has been devoted to a torchlight parade and fire works. The procession is estimated at 5,000 or 6,000, and occupied an hour in pawing.

The Convention of Boys in Blue re elected General Grant Commander-in-chief, and adopted the following resolutions Wiiemus, The Union Veterans, familiarly known as the Boys in Blue, representing and comprising all loyal soldiers' sailors' organizations in the United States, who in the days of the great trial to the nation by the treason of the South (rave themnelves as a sacrifice to the cause of the Constitution and liberty, who were, as the results of the war, crystallized into constitutional amendments which have been accepted by the American people as fu 1 payment and satisfaction for the lives and treasure expended in such service therefore, in national convention this day assembled, Huolttd, That the destiny of this country for good is committed to the Republican an organization of to perfect And secure for all time absolute freedom for our labor and our suffrages that industry even-where, the handmaid of honest labor and be support of free government, is the strenth of the nation, to which prosperity has come as the child of republican institutions that a continuance of confidence depends upon a continuance of the Republican power that from this prosperity Justine may come to all men and condition, to the President, to the public and private welfare that to the Republican party we acknowledge our gratitude for the wisdom of legislation and enlightened judgment of mankind against the heresy of secession and the policy of State rights advocates and free State trade, and we pledge the nation cur continued support, under 1 any trial, to secure the election of our comrade and former commander, James A.

Ex-Governor Hall to-night, i Jiacal speech which was heartily received. He reviewed Conk ling's speech in a caustic manner, strongly denounced a centralization of power and upheld the State sovereignty doctrine. Mr. Seymour referred to the Republican charges of unwillingness to keep public 5 He cited instances in his experience as Governor of New Yoik when he -vainly endeavored to collect from the Republicans funds to meet the State obligations in 1863 and 18C4, and he added The meanest repudiatore are they who profess honesty and poverty, and then spend money in riotous living and now I want to appeal to business men, and then I will release you." Inclosing, Seymour said: "Of the candidates I have nothing unkind to say. There is a bond of sympathy between Mr.

Garfield and myself, He and I went into Conventions, not as candidates, and were both nominated. We went around speaking, and he's going to be beaten, just as 1 was." The speaker closed by a picture of Garfield taking the oath of Senator and Hancock that of President, March 4, 1881. BAD ENGLISH. New York, October Tribune says English has hurriedly put forward explanations of his part in the pension fraud, which are shown to be utterly valueless. It is proved by his own letter that he claimed to have receipts on hand which he did not get until long afterward.

It is also shown that English, while a member of the resident Democratic Committee at Washington, refused, until compelled by a law-suit many years after, to pay a widow 8731 due her for the use of the committee-rooms.

Boston, October The National Commercial Convention this morning resumed the discussion of the free-ship resolution, which was adopted. It reads as follows That results have clearly and forcibly proved that under the condition of affairs our shipping cannot prosper, or even maintain itself, in competition with the navigation of other maritime pjwers. Therefore we call upon the Government to aid in the restoration of our commerce by granting a bounty of per ton per year for sail tonnape, and per ton for steam tonnage, for a poriod of years afUr the passage of this Act. This is to apply only to vessels in the foreign trade, and not to exceed 15 years of After recess the Convention expressed its decided opposition to free shipping and against advising a repeal of the navigation laws. A resolution was adopted that as the foundation lor all the measures proposed relating to ocean commerce and the general navigation interests of the country, this Convention petition Congress to establish a Department of Commerce, to be presided over by a separate Cabinet otiicer, and that Congress assume and exercise the powers granted by the Constitution to regulate commerce through that department.

A resolution was also adopted that Congress be petitioned to amend the law relating to the admeasurement of vessels, so that the accommodations for the officers and men shall be exempted from measurement, or only such space as is available for cargo be measured, and that the English laws for admeasurement of both be adopted, so that American vessels will ba placed upon an equal footing with vessels of that nation.

COLORED CITIZENS. Platform Adopted toy the State Con: vention.

The State Convention of colored citizens, at Francisco Thursday, adopted the following platform Wuerkas, At the present crisis in the history of the United Stales it behooves us, as citizens of this great Republic, but mire especially the State of California, to candidly and fearlessly express our viewoand opinions in all matters api ci Uining to the welfare of our rare, identified as it is by every tie, socially, morally, religiously and politically, with the growth, progress and prosperity thereof: and, whereas, we believe the time lias fully arrived when wo should, in no uncertain atai lur, enunciate, declare and positively affirm to the citizens ot this vast Republic, but more especially of the State of California, that we, as colurvd citizens of this suit, have rights in common with all dusts of citizens, which have bt reti'tore been speciously denied to us under the cover of technical and plausible excuses, 'whichitisour nninilignWi tod unrelenting e'ebire to set aside and utterly annihilate and that the possession of said right! being known to we dare at this juncture to express our unswerving determination to maintain them, order that we, as a part and parcel of tlio integral population, i may receive that consideration at the hands of the party of our choice which lecitiniattly belongs us, and vhiuli has heretofore bct-u specitically, improperly, painataUog and ably withheld from us, f. noother reason than the external appearance of our skin and whereas we are now earnestly and sincerely determined, now and henceforth, that we shall exercise oar (Soil given prerogative of manhood, and demand from thoM who receive our undivided support that recognition which is undoubtedly aud undeniably ours therefore, be it Rttolttd, By the colored citizens of the State of California, assembled as we are in convention, representing our constituents of every humlct, town and city therein, that whilst, for tangible reasons, which are centrally understood, we desire to give our adherence to the principles and platform of the Eepublican party, yet we and honestly believe that our claims for political preference at the hands of that party have heretofore been almost totally ignored and never properly recognized. ffrtrrrfif. Th it it is within the radium of our knowledge that all demands and requests for political at the hands of Republican party have, in many instances, been treated with impunity, and that we are fully ruiintd (-it least awhile) to advocate all needed reforms and institute proceedings tending to ameliorate our condition within the boundaries of that great party. Rewlved, That the relationship existiii); between colored citizens and the Kepubliian party is of such nature as, at present, to preclude the idea or possibility of our withholding support therefrom, and that it is our earnest belief, supported by irrefrsgible evidence, that colored citizens cannot, at this juncture, with dignity to themeelves, consistently support the Democratic party.

Rewired, That while respectfully demanding better political treatment and consistent regard for our rights at the hands of the I puny, and resorting to no means other than what are fair and just for the accomplishment of our purpose, we positively aver, unmistakably announce and fervently make known our unswerving determination to support for the Presidency and Vire-Presidenoy of the United in the present campaign, James A. Garfield and Chester A. Arthur. Remitted, That we recommend the permanent organization of the colored citizens of this Stale into a body, to be known and designated as the "Colored Citizens' Union," said Union tomtit annually, at such time and place as may be designated by this Convention. Remlved, That we recommend immigration from the Southern States of agriculturists and laborers, as well as colored mechanics and artisans from every section of the Union to this State.

llesohfd. That in view of the reformed school laws of this State we urge upon our fellow-citizens the importance of securing educational facilities by sending their children to the nearest district school, and insisting upon their admission that we recommend industry, economy and the purest of business avocations, as well as mechanical and agricultural labor. As a strictly servile class can never rise to political or financial eminence, we believe and declare that the barrier to cur elevation and progress is color and condition, and by the accumulation of wealth and acquirement of knowledge we can become qualified and eligible to any position, political or otherwise.
