Hancock: Dear General: L idid not receiyeiyour most welcome letter oi secern Der zstn, irom uoron delet, Mo., till yesterday. I am very glad to have your views in extenso up on a subject of such vital importance. Our standard opinions are mostly formed on the practice of our prede cessors. But a great change was made alter tne close or tne civil war by the amendments to tne constitution, giv ing to tne ireed slaves certain civil and protective political rights, and empower ing Congress to make laws necessary to entorce tnese rights. Tnis power is new and absolute, and Congress has enacted laws with which we are not yet famil iar and accustomed. Se pages 348-49 and 350, Revised Statues, section 1,989, edition 1873-74. As a matter of fact, I dislike to have our army used in these civil conflicts. but the President has the lawful right to use the array and navv, and has exer cised the right as he believes lawfully and rightfully, and our duty has been, and is, to sustain him with zeal and sincerity. As to the presidential elec tion, we are in no manner required to take the least action, but to recognize him as President, whom lawfully ap- pointed oincers oeciare to De sucn a person. I hope and pray that Congress will agree on some method before the day and hour arrives. But in case of failure to do that by or before the 4th of March, there will be a vacancy in both offices of President and Vice-President, in which event the President of the Senate becomes Presi dentpro temporejand a new .election will (haye jto be held under the law of 1892. See title 3, chapter 1, pages 21, 22 and 23 Revised Statutes. It is well we should compare notes and agree be fore j4he crisis is on us. But I surely 5i6pe -we may pass this ordeal safely and peacefully. I will be pleased to hear from you at any time. (Signed) W.T.Sherman. The next letter published is from Gen. Hancock to Gen.
