peridy and venality against Republican legis-
lators-for no one will pretend that Democrats
barganed and sold their votes to secure the
payment of bogus Republican claims. MI
John III. White was then the only Republican
legislator from our City. He is active anu
prominent in tho Custom-House faction, Dut
has never been considered thief. IL Is wen
known that he had very greatinfuence with the
rural Republicans in all City matters, and that
he used it to the utmost to pass the Iweed
Charter and its appendices. Did ne stipu-
late for the payment Of bogus claims
against the City, and as consideration 1or
helping Tweed crush out the Young Democ-
racy7 Did James w. Hustled, the only Re-
publican in that Legislature from an adjoining
rural Countyi Did the Republican Senators
who, dcfying our personal representations ana
entreaties, worked and voted for and with
Tweed7 For each and all the Republicans
incriminated by The World, We interpose a
denial and demand proof. IT any among them
thus voted cOrruptly we are confident that he
did SO in Difference to no ones pecuniary in
terest but his own.
This matter cannot be permitted to rest here.
The Democrats will deal with their own cul-
prits as they shall see ft but their oracles shal
not defame Republicans with impunity. Again
we brand the insinuations Of Mayor Hall and
the franker inculpations of Ihe Wortd as
calumnious, so far as they concern Republicans,
and call for proof or retractiOn

The Republicans of New-Jersey bold their
State Convention next week, and the selec.
ton of a candidate for Governor naturally
and properly excites much interest among
them. The names suggested, so far a. ',
have heard, are the following:
CORNELIUS WALSH Of Essex County
Gen JUDsos KmPATRICK OF Sussex County
JOHN DAVIDSON Of Union COutty.
JAMES ~ ScoyEL Of Camden County.
Thomas II. Dudley of Camden has been
talked about; but he isF out of the country.
and we are assured thatBhi friends will no,
allow his name to go beFre the Convention
We have printed, andEdoubtless shall con.

another of the candidatE suggested but We
beg the writers to say I'LL they can for their
respective favOrites and b. little as may be In
disparagement of their RIVALS. Do not fail to
conduct this canvass so mat, whoever may bs
nominated, the party shall be united and
Jealous in his support.

Within the past week unusually large quan.
titles of unwhOlesome fruit have been exposed
for sale in the streets. The Abundance Of
superior peaches with which the market WA
glutted fortnight ago has been succeeded By
an equal abundance of stale and half-decayed
fruit of most dangerous character,-the re.
fuse of the Delaware crop or the yet unrpened
products of the orchards of New-Jersey. In
view of the peril from cholera the Health
Board will do well to give an eye to the mar.

The report of Mr.. Wiley, Collector of Inter
nal Revenue in North Carolina, reads like an
account of raid upon coast smugglers In
some distant region of the country. After
capturing four barrels of contraband whisky,
the deputies were pursued to town by fifty
disguised men, who surrounded the building
where the liquor was stored, took it away,
and demanded the lives of the officers. After
a series of exciting adventures the officials
came off victorious with the spoils of war.
Internal Revenue officials in Brooklyn have a
hard time of it occasionally, but North Caro-
lima appears to be the field for wild adventure.

The French Government has had "warn-
cling" The Germans may very well be sup
posed to have some uneasiness as to the
prompt fulfllment of the engagements which
France has assumed in the Treaty of Frank
fort. One of the conditions of the evacuation
of the forts about Paris was that Germany
should be satisfied that order was sufficiently
restored to make the future liquidation of the
indemnity reasonably sure. The dissensiOns
at Versailles are not very reassuring, and the
semi-ofiicial journals of Berlin intimate as
much. In the present temper of the French
people we fear they will not heed the warn

The appointment of Count Luigi Corti to
be one of the Commissioners, under the Treaty
of Washington, for the adjudication of claims
of British and American citizens, other than
the alabama claims" completes the board
which is to meet at Washington. The other
members of the Commission, the Right Hon.
Russell Gurney, NJ. p, and Judge Frazer of
Indiana, were appointed some time since
The choice of Count Corti, the Italian Minis

has been long enough at our capital to learn
something of the abstract merits of the ques-

confidence of both nations which have united

Of the 88,555,9S3 population of the United
States, it is now reported from the Census
Bureau only 4,9GS904 are black, copper -cOlOred,
and yellow. Of these only G3,254 are Chinese,
so that the prospect of the proud Caucasian
race being swamped by Mongolans or negroes
is very remote indeed. The grand total OF
foreign born population, as compared with that

YELLOW FEVER.

The reports of the prevalence Of yellow
fever in Charleston are somewhat vague and
contradictory, but enough is known to warrant
serious apprehension. The Health Officer of
Charleston is apparently unwilling to admit
that the disease has assumed an epidemic
form, and he furnishes the New-York steamer
consequently clean bill of health; but on
the other hand the Medical Society, after a
special meeting, announces that yellow fever
of mild type does exist i'll the city, and that
differences of opinion exist in the profession
"as to the probable spread of the disease"
Meanwhile railway communication between
Charleston and Wilmington is interrupted, and
the infected city has been laid under ban
II is impossible to reconcile the statement
that the fever is of mild type with the
figures given by the Medical Society. Since
tha disease first appeared, on the eth of July,
there have been about 35 cases, and of
these have proved fatal. But the ratio of
deaths in Charleston has generally been, in
fever epidemcs, a little over 10 per cent
of the persons attacked, and this is
more than % per cent. Within the
last three or four days the supposed epidemic
character of the disease has become more dis
tinctly marked. If the unfortunate city is to
be visited by a pestilence it must be con-
fessed that the prospect is appalling. The
sufferings of the war have not yet passed
away; whole streets are still in ruins; and
there are two months of warm weather to be
expected before the fever can be killed by the
frost.
While tho old doubt is still unsolved
whether yellow fever is, tightly speaking. con-

The adventures of gentleman in search OF
Justice in the Sherifi's Office, given in the
local columns of The TRIBUNE this morning,
will enlighten the uninitiated as to the cost
of that rare article. 1t appears that some of
the functionaries about the Shcrif's Office are
expected to "come down handsomely TO the
Tammany management. Their urgencies are
such that the ordinary processes of law are
hindered by their demand for fees which
amount to little less than blackmailing.

Romantic Trial I'm England.
Sh,PEIeek Claimant for the TichbOrne Bdroftel
ey-R0fsd,sSe and Reoiity-A Question Of
.Ixx

Complexion.
Sir James Tichborne, a gruff, violent, and
dissipated man, much given to hard drinking,
had two sons, one named Roger, the older, and
Alfred the younger, Roger grew up boorish
mission in the army, he departed To see life and
seek adventure in South America. In April,
1855, Roger embarked at Rio, dead drunk, in a
vessel bound for New York. This vessel (tho
Blanche) was never heard OF from that date,
and nothing being heard Of Roger, and the old
baronet dying soon after, all hopes or his return
ceeded to tbs title and estates. Sir Alfred,
however, died in 1896, leaving An infant heir for
whom il il claimed that he is true heir Of the
property and rank. But Old lady Tichborne,
and who never believed that her older son was
dead, had been advertising in all the English
and colonial papers for the lost Sir Roger. In
the beginning Of 1896 man appeared IN Lon
don, calling himself Sir Roger Tichborne, and
claims the estate. Lady Tichborne accepted
him, and gave her sanction TO his claim,
although other members OF the family treated
him as an impostor. The returning one claims
TO have been saved from the wreck OF the
Blanche, after which he went to Melbourn,
adopted the name Of Thomas Castro, and mar,
ried. His return To England was caused by
hearing Of the death Of his father. On the part
Of the youthful heir, now four years old, 10 is
claimed that the man calling himself Sir Roger
" Wrapping butcher, named Arthur orion,
who worked his way before the mast to Val,
Paraa.o, was familiar With NE portions Of South
Roger, and gathered all the necessary facts con-
eerning the Tichborns family from old servants
OF tho family whom he met in Australia. There
10 marked discrepancy in the personnel OF the
two men-ths missing Roger and the returning
Roger; and many other facts 60 10 show that
they cannot be identical. But, on the other
hand, his intimate knowledge OF the private
affairs Of the Tichbornes, and his recognition a.
he true Sir Roger by several relatives and
friends Of the family, staged the disbelief Of the
doubters.
The case Is altogether peculiar one, and the
result u difficult to f0retell.
