Special DUpntch to Tim Biz NEW YOUK , July 8 1 a. in. Since -nomination General Han cock has received thousands of visit ors aud innumerable congratulations. Several wectarn delegitions visited him yealerday and paid their respect , T nil-plwJgwlMm theirljjippnrfjTfiey expressed tha utmost confident In the success of , the ticket. * HANCOCK TALKSV In theT cdurso of a conversation with n reporfer.Goneml Hancock said he had heard /jitisfactory / reports re garding the campaign as far as it bad gone. He did not wish to talk about politics or , anything bearing upon his candidacy for the presidency , especial ly until officially notified by the com mittee of the national convention. Referring to the statement made re cently that after the decision of the electoral commission he still consider ed Tilden legally elected president , aud would obey any orders emanating from him after March 33 , and .that he wrote to General Sherman to that ef fect , the reporter Basked the.general if ho had anything to say concerning this. this."It "It ia hardly worth while , " siid he , "to reply to these stories , there are so many of t hum floating around. Sup pose I did write such a letter , as spo ken of , to General Sherman. I have not had occasion 'to do so , but I un derstand it is reported & > . If over such a letter was written , it must be in the hands of General Sherman , and it would not be proper for me to' give its contents to the publio with f out the consent of General Sherman. If such a letter was written and those gentlemen who are clamoring for it want it so b.idly , why don't they go to General Sherman for ill If there is such a letter in .existeace I shall bj very happy to have , it given to tbe public. 1 have . NEVER ' .WRITTEN ANYTHING I AM ASUAMEO OF. The reporter naxt directed his atten tion to the story published in The New York Times , that General Hancock at the time McClellan was relieved of the command of the army of the Potomac advocated resistance to the orders of the war department and urged the de posing of Lincoln aud Stauton from office- , - , - v General HanobclTlaugbod at this new accusation. "It's too much like a Munchauson yarn. Such a stcry as that is unworthy of notice. If 1 be gan submitting to interviews about those statements it would occupy my whole time , and I would , have to con tinue answering them jfor all time to come. SensU'lo persons can see the absurdity of those accusations. " A largo party of Brooklyn demo crats , headed by Judge Calvin . Pratt , visited General Hancock yester day morning to pay their compli ments. Conversation after a flbile took a political turn , when the ques tion waa askel if General Hancock , was receiving encouraging reports from tbe canvass iu various parts of the country. " "The reports received , " said the general , "are very encouraging nev ertheless , although the outlook is bright , it behooves us to work in or der to achieve success. " One wbo was present related a con versation had with a well known Phila delphia politician , in which that gen tleman said that Pennsylvania was euro for Hancock. "There ought , " remarked Geueral Hancock , "to bo no trouble about Pennsylvania. I had a conversation this morning with an artist who had been down in Iho county where I was. born , making a sketch of the house of my mother. He says that . * ALMOST EVERY ONE' WOULD VOTE FOR JlIE , . t that ho met , republicans as well as democrats. If this is true it shows a desire on the part of the people for a change. I am of the opinion that the people of this country ar ? desirous of a change in administration. But they want a man en the watch who will see to it that there shall be no inter ference with j what has been 'accom plished in the past. " "With you".general , " it was re marked , "the p'aatis secure. " ' "Yoi/epliea Hancock , "the past is secure.jfrIf it were "hot so , of what avail would our war have been ? " The conversation then drifted to the charges that General Hancock fig ured conspicuously to seat Til dun in the White House after he had been elected president. "Whoever wrote the letter to Gen. Sherman on the subject of the elector al contest I shell hot say , " said-Gen. Hancock , but ho added earnestly : "My position in reeard to that matter was well understood at the time , and has not changed since. I am of the opinion that Grant's term as president ended at midnight , March 3d. After that I fhould have paid no more at tention to him officially than I would to the man in the moon. The houses of congress alone had the power to count the electoral * vote and declare the result , and ttfey were clothed with authority. My position on this ques tion cannot be misconstrued. Any thing I may have written to Sherman or anyone else concerning it is at the disposal of the public. I am not ashamed of my views regarding the election contest and still adhere to them.

" ' They Enlist the President's In- . " ' ' 'terest and Make .a Good Showing. The Ditch and Its Diggers. Special Dispatch to The Dee. WASHINGTON , x July 8 1 a. m Admiral Ammeti and Chief Engineer Menocal called on the president yes terday and had a very pleasant and extended interview on the subject ol the Nicaraugua canal. Menocal brief ly stated his recent experiences in .Nicaragua , the points pf conces sion obtained , end the enthusiasm felt by thejwople of CesiiakuAmoticm. . f oc tfie canal. The preeident.xprewei himself as highly pleased with the statement , whereby Menocal re iterated his expressions of interest in the success of the project , stating that he was prepared do all in his power to assist the scheme. * - Many friends pf the Nicarauguan canal schema baring condemned that portion of the concession obtained'by M. Menocal , in which mention is made of the Clay ton-Bui wer treaty , a promi nent gentleman of this city , himself a great friend and promoter of the canal has prepared his views on the subject , wbicQ have been submitted for approval to one of the most prominent persons connected with the judiciary of our country. This gen tleman says : "To my mind there would be great advantage to "the { Jolted States in a guaranty qf neu trality on the part of all nations. The inferior powers to do so positive ly by denying the use of their ports -those vhich should wish to possess themselves of the transit or to im pede it. To control the Immediate vicinity of the approaches of the area of neutrality , I would suppose , should expend at sea overa radius of one hun dred miles from the principal light houses at the termini of the canal. The fact that the neutrality might be broken in the event of hostilities would not doitroy its general use ard fulness or fail to impose on the powers breaking it , not only the onus but the positive disadvantage .of debar- mentfrom the ports of many inferior powers , and this determent might ex tend to a commercial non-intercourse which should take effect , only after vessels , actually in transit at the time of the proclamation should have ar rived at their destination , unloaded and loaded , with the right to remain until an adjustment of the difficulty at a1 ! ports. An assertion on our part that we will control the Isthmus , without any invocation to other pow ers that could aid or protect their Interests in our deplorable lack of any force for tbe purpose * may well excite an xpression of ridicule ( and naturally lead to whatever combination might be possible out of advantage. It would be regarded by the people of other nations as a pretension on our put to suppose that we are the only people who have very considerable material interest in the opening of an Ameri can inter-oceanicabip canal , and it is much a duty on the part of .other powers to secure and protect their in terests as it ii our duty to protect those which exclusively belong to us , although they may be of the double nature of a preponderating impor tance as compared with any other nation. We could not say to a foreign company you shall or you , shall not construct a canal , nor if you make a canal we will limit your rates of transit to such an amount per ton * or such a per centum of dividend of ' your investment. Happily those com plications have boon avoided and there only remains such as are controllable , such as promoting the prompt econo mical construction of the work and of controlling the management of the construction so that the canal shall really bo a commercial benefit as well as to the benefit of the stockholders. * . _ _ _ _ - - Had congress given notice to Great Britrin of the abrogation of the Clay- ton-Bnlwer treaty , or rather ordered the executive to do so , I am quit as- aured that the Nicaraguan government wonld not have given a concession > to our countrymen , ' but Instead to M. Blanchet , a Frenchman , who was there to ask it. With a commis sion in the ranks of our citizens it seems to me the duty of the govern ment to secure its construction against an unreasonable and covetous monopoly ely , as all companies , how ever composed , have a ten dency to become by limiting * the bolls in the charter to a liberal * re ward to the stockholders , even though in doing so I should think It just to assign to the stockholders interest on bard money , say at the rate of the lowest government bonds , during the period of the construction of the.

At about- o'clock yesterday aftei > noon , Dr. Tanner , the fasting man , was sitting At his little , writing $ able within the 45x35 fret enclosure , - entering tering notes in his diary. He had been stirring about nearly the whole day , had talked with almost every one who came along , and had taken a leading part in several hot debate * with the doctors of the different schools who dropped in to see him. When he had risen and put away his pencil in his vest pocket , ho attracted the attention of everybody present-by , sud"denlyickiming : ' 'Gentlemen , I begin to think I have passed the crisis/ I feel now just as I did after the tenth day of my fast in 1877. " Then , after a short pause , he added : "But , of course , you can't tell what the result will be. " Dr. Tanner had then been one hundred and twenty-five hours without food. Ho certainly looked better than he did the day previous. There wa not that haggard expres sion of the features , 'and , the fasting man looked and acted at lively as a cricket "Dr. Tanner , when you fasUd for forty-two days In 1877 , were you at any time disturbed by any such senses of excitement a hare so often occur. red here ?

" "Howldid you come to undertake such an experiment ) " "Well ] you see , in the summer o 1877 I visited my old home at Hud son , Wis. While there I ate too free ly of fruit * , and in that way got up an inflammation of the stomach. I al ways had an idea that fast'ng was a good thing in many diseases. I f.intec until my gastritis was cured , am then , as Ihad rheumatism of the heart , I'thought I'd keep on fasting till that waacuredalso , Tiasted elever days andmy physlciatJXrtWwas pretty much of a skortic , thought it was a remarkable thing for a man to go so Jonj ( without food.

The introduclion of this now focd fish is a subject of great importance to all inland communities , for thuro ia no ditch , potfd , mill-dam or any bog gy , muddy spot , which oin bo convert ed into a pond in which they w > ll not thrive. Tbe carp belongs to the fami ly of the cyprinid.-B , members of which are to bo found iu every stream aud pond in North America. The carp , howerer , is king of hia tribe , and those who know do nutha.itao ( to aay that , aa fuod-fish , iti.ir exfida tliu beat of thorn. They are divided into three groups : the scale carp , which moat closely resembles the original form , having scales like ordinary fiahes , and has four thread like appendages or barbels under the chin ; the mirror carp h is extraordinarily large sciles , which run along the side of the body m three or four rows , the rest of the body being bare , and the "leath er" or "naktd caip , " which is almost destitute of soles , having only a few along the line of the back , and has a thick , soft skin , which is velvety to the touch. Both the latter varieties are said to be much superior to the scale carp , which is best known , in flavor , hardness and adaptation to con finement. It has been domesticated in Europe from time immemorial , having been introduced many cen turies ago from Central Asia or China , where it ia native. Carp soon become tame and cat from the hands of their keeper. Dr. Heesel handles those in the government pi'iids ' as if they were tame kittens , and says they oroe to him when he whistles , Their fecundity is great. A fish weighing four or five pounds lays 400- 000 or 500,000 or more eggs , and one of ten or fifteen pounds , about 1,600- 000. In middle Europe they spawn from May to August , and the breed ing season apgeara to be nearly the same in Washington. The eggs are sticKy , and cling to plants and twigs , batching in from nine to eighteen days , according to temperature. The actual rate of increase is very great , owing , in part , to the fact that the par ents do not devour their young. The 120 fish brought to Washington two years ago have increased to at least 20,000. It is thus able t > populate a body of water to the fullest extent , and , unlike the majority of American Food fishes , their diet is largely veget able. By means of these habits they are harmless to other fishes inhabiting the same waters. The carp is adapted to very varied climates , aud will thrive under conditions unfavorable to any equally palatable American fish. It is very hardy in all stages of growth. In Eun pa cirp are al ajs taken to market tlive in ttuks or bar rels , and if they are not soM returned to the water alive at the cni of tbe day. In cold climates they protect themselves from freezing in wAter by retiring in groups of 50 or 100 or more into centers in the muddy bot- t > ms called "kettles , " where they pass the time till pring huddled tojjetht-r , the posterior part of the body raited and held immovably , scarcely lifting the gills for breathing , and without taking a particle of food. This ab stinence and torpidity lasts in cold countries six or even sev n rmnthi , and thus they can live out a very vig orous winter. Its growth Is very rapid. The normil weight to which the carp may attain in three year * in Europe is an average of three to three and three-fourths pounds.
