REFORMING PERFORMERS.

We have endeavored to shOw-and
have proved it 80 conclusively that
the Era has not attempted to contro-
vert it--that what advertising the
| county does should be done by the
lowest bidder. and that by ignoring
this economical and only just plan,
| hundreds of dollars have been wasted
| from the county treasury and given
to the support of the Democratic pa
per Oh the North Side. The only at
tempt by our interested contemporary
to palliate such nnwarrantcd pro-
ccedings is By declaring that the peo-
pie voted on the proposition i'll 1870,
and decided that all county work
which he was capable of doing or
having done, should be given to him
at the price which he chooses to
charge for it, only governed by the
limitations of the price by the State
law. We have never heard OF such
vote, and must have better authority
than our ncighbor before we choose
to believe it. The people will never
vote that one newspaper or one bridge
builder shall have a monopoly at big
prices of all work done by the coun-
ty. And if the ''rcformers' fail to
carry out their promised reform i'll
this particular. does it not show that
they are given to the very practice
which they so justly condemn i'll
others, viz: Rewarding political IA
vorites by appropriations out of the
public treasury. If they w the
Era a debt OF gratitude for advoca-
ting their claims in the last election,
gratitude should. prompt them to re-
ward him appropriately, but is 1t JUS
tice to the taxpayers to pay him his
reward out of the public treasury?
And if the county officers are derelict
in this part of their duty, which we
know of. is it not reasonable to sup
pose that there are other acts of a
similar nature which the public do
not have the knowledge of? Ii they
are negligent and u%nfaithful in small
things, is it to be supposed they are
any morc strict or economical in large
ones?
The delinquent tax list will be pub
lishcd before long. As the law i'll re-
lation thereto is explicit. and we are
in the nature of things interested in
the public welfare, we propose the
people shall not pay 50 much for adj
vertising this list as has been done
since orr reformers have had control
of things in the county. The.follow-
ing is an extract from the law gov
crning the subject of advertising:
SEC. 1874. Ii any taxes assessed on
or charged against any real property
remain unpaid on the first day of June
of each wear. il shall be the duty of
the Collector to publish IN advertise
ment in sonc newspaper published in
his county. = 4 Provided,
That. in all counties having two news

annual subscribers of not less than
five hundred, the Collector shall
award the publication of said lis: TO
the lowest bidder. not 10 exceed, how
ever. the sum of twenty cents for
-. .u,.t .. Ii, Dt.n,.f Is.fl
In complianc: herewith, we shall
present our bid for the work and,
although our neigh5or may under
bid US. we will have the pleasing re-
Election that the county is paying a
reasonable price for work done, and
that our contemporary is making a
reasonable profit on the work he gets
to do.

OUR PRESIDENTIAL TICKET

Grant and Wilson, who are men OF
the people, can not fail to receive the
support of all laboring men, both for
the sterling and pure principles en-
bodied in their platform, and for
their having come from the humber
walks of life. The Cincinnati Com
mercial, which has hitherto rather
leaned to the ofice-seckers' candi-
dates. saws well that there are points
of resemblance between the President
Theirs in France and that of Presi-
dent Grant that ought to be Instruct
i've, and that, while Theirs is not a
popular favorite, though he deserves
well of his country, there is a sense
of safety with him that pleases trades
men," 1t is not to the advantage OF
workmen to have the country contin-
ually in a political hubbub and tur-
moil. What the body of the people
want is G &c, quiet and a faithful and
economical administration. The re-
duction of the national debt a hun
drcd million dollars each year of
Grants Presidency, with at the same
time, a reduction of taxes equal to
fifty millions a year, and the estab-
lishmaut and maintenance of peace
full relations between IL Republic
and all foreignnations, are facts which
the people can fully understand; and
they have confidence that the country
is in safe hands SO long as these re-
suits are obtained. With Greeley's
financial theories the people are not
very greatly pleased; and from a
Democratic President, or President
elected and controlled by Democrats,
the mass would have little confidence
in their making a better showing OF
their stewardship than has the Re-
publican party in the past three years
of its dominance. The CommerciCI
is right. "There is 4 ems Of safety
with him that pleases ~tradesmen,"
aid this sense Of safety has n solid
foundation, upon which the people
will build another four years of Re-
publican government.

to read such men as Voorhees, out of

TIE NATIONAL FINANCES-A CORREC-
TON

The National Democratic Resident Com
mittee in Washington have published without
sufficient examination a pamphlet purporting
to expose immense frauds in the Treasury
Department. We have repeatedly declared
that the annual volume prepared at the
Treasury, ostensibly setting forth the financial
operations of the Government, is dis
grace to the nation. One year the
Pacific Railroad bonds are reckoned
as part of the public debt; the next
wear they are excluded. One official deducts
from the debt the cash in the Treasury an
other does not. The Treasurer includes in the
annual income of the Government every torn
shinplaster which is sent in to be exchanged
for new one, and reckOns the new one at Its
full nominal value as part Of the expenses.
This makes it possible for an ingenious person
to make the Secretary of the Treasury appear
to contradict himself and indeed there are
many high and difficult things i'll the financial
statements which would puzzle the Secretary
himself to unravel.
Fully maintaining the almost utter worth
lessness of the Finance reports, we still know
that the national expenditures have not been
S69O0OO,OO0 a year since the accession OF
Grant, nor half that sum. The Grant cam
paigners employ myriads of documents,
swarming with refuted ISLANDERS. Let us leave
them the monopoly Of everything in the re-
hottest degree resembling that sort of warfare
For our own part we discaim any share in
this plan of imputing want of honesty where
the offense is simply want of brains. The
people desire plain statements of fact, not
puzzles and prodigies of bookkeeping, from
which the truth can no more be extracted
than the square root of a minus quantity.

TIE HON. HENRY WILSON, X. N

IF, when the Hon. Henry Wilson was first
accused of having been member of the
Know Nothing order, he had frankly admitted
it, and either defended his action or said it
was a mistake, he would not now occupy the
painfully shabby attitude in which we have
been compelled to place him. Instead Of adj
hitting the charge, he eyaded it with as little
manliness as adroitness, and wrote a letter
about being "born in extreme poverty" and
being in favor of equal rights. This was ac-
cepted by some of his injudicious supporters as
a denial Of the charge ; but other newspapers,
THE TRIBUNE among them, which love truth
more than persons and publish legitimate
news though all our idols fall, found it neces-
sary to clear up the point the Senator had inten-
tionally couded We published conclusive evil
dence that he has been Know -NOthing-a regu-
larry initiated member of the order, candi-
date for Office supported by its votes, and
sworn to do its bidding. We have been afraid
that the Senator would deny it again before
all the evidence was in, which would be
equally injurious to himself and painful to his
friends. So that we are sure we are doing
him real kindness in printing this morning
letter from the Hon. Albert Pike of Arkan-
sas, stating that Mr.. Wilson was, to his per-
sonal knowledge, q member of the Know
Nothing order, and delegate to tho National
Council in 1855. Of course that point is now
settled, and the Senator will not do anything
so useless as to deny it any more.
1t seems a proper time to show plainly just
what 1t was to join the Known othings to
let the public see, and especially all foreign
born citizens what were the purposes and the
sworn obligations of the man who is now ask
ing their suffrages for high and digniGed
office. He declared, in the solemn formula of
the kuow-NothiDg ritual. :" in the presence Of

MR.. STEWART, 1R. CLEWS, And JOHN
1HOMAS

We ask pardon of the distinguished merchant
whose name is first above mentioned for put
ting him into such Oncatenati0n. Mr.. Stewart
is a business man WHO attends to his business,
and never mixes business and politics. Mr..
Clews is Mr.. Clews, md John Thomas is John
Thomas, and of each it may be said that none
but himself can be ais parallel. Mr. Stewart
would no doubt have been surprised to see Gn
Saturdays Netc- York Iis,es) his private con-
versaton publicly printed, only when Mr.. Clews
visited him at his magnificent establishment
Oh Tenth-st., and pumped him after the fussiest
of fashions, the faint odor of a large rat appears
to have played about Mr.. Stewards nOstrils,
in consequence of which he exhibited such
complete reticence that Mr.. Clews came away
as wise as he went, which wasn't 80 wise as
he would be if he would attend to his bust
ness, persuade business men that his conduct
about the Georgia bonds was business-hke,
and let politics alone. Some good demon per-
haps whispered to Mr. Stewart to let Mr.
Clews do all the talking of this interview"
and he was fully equal 10 the job, if we may
credit what he told John Thomas. For this
last-named parsonage, having with his long
ears heard that Mr.. Clews had seen Mr.
Stewart, determined to look up and pump Mr.
Clews-a work which he appears to have
found. to say the least of it, not
difficult. The fact IS, of the three
persons involved in this romantic matter, Mr..
Clews seems to have done all the talking; the
consequence of which is that we do not get
the opinions of Mr.. Stewart, nor, except incl
dentally, the opinions of John Thomas, but
only the opinions of Mr.. Henry Clews, for
which we may venture 10 say the world was
neither hungering nor thirsting. Mr.. Clews's
report, filtered through John Thomas, isn't a
dialogue-it is only dribbling. washy. and
