A Forgery Branded.

Z "
To the Editor Of the Iyi6une:
III SIR: On my return home from the
session of November 10, find nearly a
hundred Democratic papers from all
sectionsiof the Union, sent me by friends,
containing vile and scurrillous speech
against foreigners, said to have been
delivered by me in 1854 or 1858, and
which appears to have been published
simultaneously and by concert, North
and South, East and West, in the clio
sing weeks of the recent canvass.
cd need not refer to this wicked and
malignant libel, now that1the election is
over, were it not that, having been SO
extensively published, from Maine to
Nebraska, and youched for rs authentic
by editors who were supposed to value
tb cir characters, some honest persons of
one party or the other, whose. good opin
ions value, might suppose it possibly
true hGaaI- Hsdecta sTbrS
o Allow me, therefore, to say, as did
publicly in this State last month, when
this calumny against me first appeared,
that it is. IN every soord and syllable, a for
gery; that aever altered sack sentiments in
1854, nor IN any other gear, and that the
vulgar and scurrillous language embodi-
ed in it never fell from my lips, nor
were written by my pen, in that or any
other connection. on that or any other
theme. 4
am Precisely this saEe speech was print
ed by the Dem ocratice papers in this
State number of years ago, and th en-
attributed to Mr.. Wilson, who was
Republican candidate for Congress; but,
having been thus used with effect in one
campaign. it was revamped in the re-
cent canvass, with my name attached to
it, by the same Editors, every. one of
whom knew that it was impossible for
me to use such vile language in speech
on any subject. 79J@1i 2ifuA 50 t5cEl7
nu It will doubtless be used against some
other Republican, candidate hereafter;
and have felt it therefore duty to ex-
pose its history and its falsity.
Yours truly,

The Financial Prospecf.

1t will be recollected that the Democ-
racy, during the. recent canvass, stontly
insisted that the Republicans, if Grant
was elected, would restore the taxes
which were removed during former
session-thus@ proving that the reducs
ton was only temporary and intended
for purely electioneering purposes. We
learn from the Washington correspond,
ence of Forney's Press, that the Hon
David A. Wells, special Commissioner
of the Revenue, has assured Hon. w.
d. Kelley that the revenue from all
sources is ample to pay the interest on
the public debt and the expenses of the
Government, and to leave large sur
plus Cor the rapid reduction of the pub.
lie debt; SO that there will not only be
no attempt to restore the heavy taxes
existing before the last heavy decrease
in the public burdens, but the income
tax will itself be removed according to
the terms Of the act, in about year and
half. s|t-io- 1'4 @s1H 5ka@ %
If this is the state of things under the
terrible NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. of the Gov
eminent by Andrew johnson, with
many corrupt and reckless men in all the
departments of the revenue, foreign and
domestic, what will it be when Grants
honest and rigid rule is fairly in opera
ton E sAaaF fe
We are informed that Commissioner
Wells will make very interesting ex-
hibit to the next session, and will recon-
mend some changes in the tariff on for
eign luxuries that will still further in
crease the revenue. The decrease in the
national debt is steady even under the
present regime, but when Grant begins
with his policy of retrenchment we shall
the better realize not only the certainty
of meeting all our obligations, principal
and interest in gold, bat the fact that
our national securities are the best in
vestment in the world With ordinary
economy in business matters and a stern
course Of retrenchment under Grant, the
balance Of trade viii soon he in our fla

rites, and the renewed activity of our
domestic industry under a system of
reasonable protection, specie payments

The Fate of Presidents.

We find in the Philadelphia Press
some facts recorded relative to the last
days Of our living ex- Presidents, which
show how. in popular government, the
Office makes the man, and unless he have
transcerdent ability, the foremost man
Of to day may become the unexpected
recluse of to morrow. This Is the case
Of ex President Fillmore, but more par
ticularly Of President Pierce, now re
siding in Concord, New Hampshire
This gentleman. who once held posi-
ton second to no Emperor of his time.
is now a cl,ildless, homeless, and we
might add, a friendIess old man. His
wife is dead, he has no living child to
comfort his declining years, and he
dozes the close OF his life BY stran-
gers hearth, reminded of his loneliness
by his monthly board bills Once the
most popular man of his State, he to
day lives almost unknown in his native
town. This case is but one of many
which constitute an unpleasant feature
Of American politics. In no other
country would the chief office so com.
pletely end ,nan--leaving him nothing
to do, and without an aim towards
which to strive. It is fate so sad and
terrible that one would think it might
check the wild hunt for office--but it

OBITUARY.
DAVID TOD.

gu David Tod, ex Governor of Ohio,
: died yesterday, at his residence near
Youngstown. Mahonina county, He
e had seemingly been in his usual health
until he was awoke yesterday morning.
He then complained of being unwell,
lay9down again, and in a few moments
was a corpse. He was in his sixty
fourth year, having been born at Youngs
town, on the 21st of February, 1905. E
He was the son of the Hon. George
of the pioneers of the w estern Reserve.
He was admitted to the bar at the age
of twenty-five, and practiceds the legal
z profession at Warren, Trum bull county,
with much success, for fifteen years. He
= was particularly emin ent in criminal ca
oses. "a Jealous politician, he sided with
the Democracy, and in 1888 was elected
to the State Senate In 1910 be stump
ed Ohio for Van Buren, gained a high
reputation for eloquence and became
very popular with his party. In / 844
he was nominated for Governor, and
gain in 1S45, being defeated son each
occasion by unusually small majonties.
~, Tn 1916 he was appointed Minister to
Brazil by President Polk He held that
position for over four years, and on his
return, with characteristic ardor, took
, the stump for Franklin Pierce He also
participated il the canvass of 1855.
In 1860, he was chosen first Vice
Cow ention at Charleston, and being q
strong Douglas man, became President
Of the Douglas Convention, after the
withdrawal of the Breckenridge dele
gates. a.

ment found Mr. Tod a true friend Of
his country. While favoring the ex-
haustion' OF every honorable method for
preserving peace, he had no soft words
for traitors. His outspoken Unionism
won him the respect and good will of
those who had been his political oppo.
nents. He was nominated for Cover
nor by the Republicans in 1861, and
elected by large majority Entering
upon his duties in Januafy, 1862, his
energies and business talent soon be

As q business man Gov. Tod was very
prominent. ;, He was President Of the
Cleveland & Mahoning Railroad, and to
his good management that important
enterprise owed much of it's success.
The great coal and iron resources of the
Mahoning valley were perhaps, better
appreciated and more thoroughly de-
veloped through him than by any other
person. n is Toss will be especially felt
by the residents Of his section Of the
